L.A. Colors 5 color metallic eyeshadows swatches and review

Hello there!

   I am here with yet another "pocket friendly" review ;) So one of  my friend was suppose to be back from london and happen to ask me if i wanted something and tan tadaaann no price for guessing, i asked for makeup <3 and the amazing friend that she is to me she got me a handful of l.a colors metallics shadows ^^

Price: $1.99 each(depends on where you get it from)


Each pallete comes with 5 cordinated shades that can be used together or on its own.

Mesmerize,Wildflowers,Tease,Enchanted



Going by "student-tight on bugdet" lifestyle this product is an absolute bargain,beautiful colors amazing price the colors are rather sheer, but can be built up to some degree. I use these with a primer as a base for longevity. . the price allows you to try them out without feeling too bad about it.This palette includes a long, double-ended sponge tip applicator

The packaging reminds me a lot of Wet 'n Wild's


       Wildflowers



             Enchanted





   Mesmerize


Tease


I did not use primer for the swatches  because i wanted show the true color payoff,primers  are a MUST for these palletes,they help intensify the colors and longetivity



pros
Gorgeous range of colors
Super cheap
Smooth Application
 Travel Friendly
Very Pigmented

cons
Availability
some palette quality varies (Mesmerize and tease not great)

I tried a look with "wildflowers" my favourite of the 4

Maybelline Pink Alert Lipsticks POW 4 review and swatches

Hey you guyzzzzzzzz (whatsup eleventh gorgeous reference) ;)


Being a student money is always tight and "wants" multiply by hundreds every day.For times like this god sent us guardian lipsticks range by maybelline :p ;)

Couldnt be complaining anymore about not being able to lay my hands on mac/inglots amazing bout of colourful lipsticks.

I had ordered my maybeline pink alert lipstick-pow 4 from purplle.com and i couldnt have been anymore excited when this beauty was delivered to me

Price: 375(i didnt just call it a gurandian lipstick for no reason afterall)





Maybelline came up with 4 pink lipsticks with different undertones,every colour in this range is just as amazing. What caught my eye was POW4, a beautiful neon pink-coral colour,ive never owned anything like this before.Ever since i have this on me ive been dancing to "ima barbie girl in this barbie world" yes,it has THAT effect on me.

Texture wise Pow 4 is smooth and creamy and glides on to your lips like ha! though theres a need to exfoliate before putting this baby on or it'l leave you with flaky lips which is not attractive at all nah!It leaves a gloss like effect which settles down in a couple of minutes

With what ive noticed it shows up different on different people depending on how pigmented your lips are.I have decently pigmented lips and the shade almost comes across as "bihari pink" which just by the is my favourite colour along with what normally people call "bihari orange" so i dont have no complains there though i have to be very  careful with this colour.

Staying power of all the lipsticks in this range is almost the same i.e 4-5hours,it fades away to a beautiful coral-y stain.

All in all a must have.


Pros:
good staying power for the price
decently pigmented
affordable

Cons:
nothing i can think of im absolutely sold!

bioderma sensibio h20 review

Hey you guys!

This is my first time into writng a blog,i have absolutely no idea of why am i doing it,but as you can tell,I AM AT IT! bare with me if you may :)


So yes i suffered from teenage acne,it was bad-i was sad but did i do anything about it?absolutely NOT! coming from a family where acne is something nobody had an issue with i took it with a pinch of salt(and lemon juice) literally,aggravating the acne even more.Little did i know the pimples were here to stay. Trips to dermatologists  were a norm in my life for next 3 years. Long story short i had been missing out on a lot of "night/morning time routine" that lead to severe cystic acne.Now that ive started to take my skin seriously i wanted to review this amazing product that i absolutely swear by

Bioderma Sensibio H2O

 

Price: 599 (100ml)

Ingredients:Water (Aqua), Peg-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Propylene Glycol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructooligosaccharides, Disodium Edta, Cetrimonium Bromide.

My take on the product :

This product is going to be in my absolute MUST HAVES for the rest of my life and believe me you im not even exaggerating. i have oily acne prone  senstive skin and have hyper pigmentation from past acne issues and this product has done wonders for me,it has lived up to its hype.

I use it as a cleanser every morning and before going to bed and it gets me my work done,i soak a cotton pad with a tiny drop of bioderma and gently cleanse my face(i have had my days when ive gone lady macbeth when it comes to cleaning my face) and tadaaaan it leaves behind calm and soothing skin. ive never had this experience before with any product.

It works amazing as a makeup remover specially for the eye area,i am a "slaps blackest black eyeshadow and kohl" girl and it gets really annoying taking it all off,for most part i use to give up and sleep with black eye but guess who doesnt gets to do that anymore? :D all it takes is a drop or two of bioderma on a cotton pad put them on my (closed) eyes,leave them for 10 seconds,very lightly rubbing in circles and all eye makeup is gone pooooff


All in all this is one of the absolute product in my  morning/night time routine and thy shall always be m/s derma ;)

Final verdict: No unpleasant results with this,no breakouts,no irritation,no stinging.Great and essential product for sensitive skin and good value for money because it lasts forever.Highly recommend <3

 

 Pros:
 Great cleansing power
 Non-oily
 Convenient
Didnt break me out

Cos:
can be a bit expensive 
struggles with waterproof mascara
not easily available
