Makeup Revolution - Death By Chocolate



Today I will be reviewing on the Makeup Revolution - Death By Chocolate palette. This palette is well known for it being a dupe for the Too Faced - Chocolate Bar palette; however, in a much inexpensive option.

There have been many arguments of it being a dupe or it not being a dupe, while weighing the pros n cons of each of the product. If you ask me, which is the better one? I do not know the answer, because I am yet to take the plunge on the pricier one.

Anyway, I am in complete awe of this product, be it the packaging, the pigmentation, the color shade, the variety of matte and shimmers and mostly importantly the way it smells - So So So Wonderful! 

Shade Names: Left to right
Top Row: White Light, Don't Let Go, Break Me Up, Consume Me, All is Lost
Middle Row: Lick Me, Fool's Gold, One More Bar, Devour Me, Tear The Wrapper, Love You to Death
Bottom Row: Pray for Me, Dipped, Tease Me, Set Me Free, Bring Down Angels

Above, is my palette - yeah some shades are a little disfigured, because IT FELL! I know, I know, something so gorgeous couldn't fight against gravity... but such is life for our makeup products! :)

 Ok. Now back to how beautiful the overall palette is...

 Death By Chocolate palette has a variety of shades that you can comfortably use for daily wear because of shades like Lick Me, One More Bar, Break Me Up, Consume Me, Pray For Me as well create a quite dramatic look with shades like Love You to Death, All is Lost, Tease Me, Devour Me, Don't Let Go. It has two beautiful highlighter shade on the extreme top left of the palette (which is in a matte finish) and extreme bottom right of the palette (which is in a shimmery finish). I personally prefer and use the bottom right shade for the area under my brows because of its shine. The palette is mostly dominated with neutral shades but the pop of a purple-y shade brings the zing back to palette making it appropriate for a lot of party/evening eye-looks.

 Some of my favorite shades are: top to bottom

 - Tear the wrapper, Bring down angels, Fool's gold, One more bar, Love you to death.

 Pros:

 - Beautiful packaging
- Shades are pretty pigmented
- Versatile palette
- Inexpensive

 Cons:

 - Some shades a less pigmented
- More shimmers
- Just one fun color - the purple-y one

 My Overall Take on the Product:

 I completely enjoy using this palette, there are total 16 shades in the palette, including two highlighter shades. It is quite a versatile palette for both day and night time eye-looks. Shades are pretty pigmented  and does not crease on me without the use of any primer, which is a YAY! from me :). Absolutely recommend this palette for anyone who wants to try out a Makeup Revolution product, it is quite a first impression hit among people who use this brand.
Overall a YAY!!

Bioderma Node DS+ Shampooing Review

Bioderma! A brand every skin/hair care fancying woman greedily hoards. Well in my case I needed to pick this "heaven sent" product to heed to my never-ending, every stalking dandruff problem. I have been facing persistent dandruff right since I was a kid, but with time and changing products the flaky snow on my head just got worse. I had been using The Body Shop - Ginger Anti Dandruff shampoo, as mentioned in my earlier post here , I never swore by it that it did any good or bad to my dandruff situation, but I still continue using it every once a while and avoid using it on my scalp off-late. I was recommended this shampoo by my dermatologist as  I recently had some problem with an allergy on my lip (about that I will cover in another post - coming soon!) which was triggered by dandruff *sighs*. Ok back to Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo Claims of this product: - Reduces rapid increase of Malassezia yeast which triggers dandruff - Prevents recurrence of da

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product   a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage.  About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightly off

A Marks & Spencer Beauty: Mini Perfume Haul

I am all into miniatures these days and when I saw these beauties, I had to dig in. I have never been a perfume purchase person, as mostly they were gifted to me. I love a real good mist and was quite committed to Bath & Body Works and The Body Shop ones for a long time now so I decided lets switch that up and that is when I found these lil' devils and whats better than carrying these dinky yet amazing perfumes around for a spritz! There was an ample collection in all different sizes and notes, I am sure there is something for everyone. I was looking for an everyday type of a scent, so I picked up a day scent, an evening scent and a floral scent.  Since they are so dinky and sturdy you can easily carry them in your smallest purses throughout the day. 1)  Marks & Spencer Beauty:  Lavender Eau De Toilette - This scent is from their floral collection, I never owned an ONLY lavender scent before, I sniffed it I loved it, it is a typical lavender subtle scent, yet it makes
