Who is it for? Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146 isFor those looking for a reasonably priced peach shade of eye shadow.

My experience with the Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146

Packaging

So, I really like Miss Claire eye shadow packaging even though it’s really simple. The product comes in a round container which is black and the cover has a transparent top to it, which allows you to see the exact shade of the product.

Shade

So, when you see the shade, it’s a peach like color. Even when you swatch it on your hand, it had a peach tint to it. Unfortunately though, when applied on the eyelids, the same shade doesn’t show through. It looks more like a shade of gold with just a hint of peach when you look really close.

Suitability

I feel like this particular shade might work better for lighter skin tones and will show the exact shade. On my medium tone, it doesn’t show so well.

Staying Power

Sometimes, when I use any eye shadow and the weather isn’t great, the product starts creasing a bit on my lids and eventually fades off. But with this, that didn’t happen. It stayed in place till I used a remover to get off all my makeup. In fact, I even rubbed on my lids but everything stayed in place.

Waterproof

I’m really impressed with this. This eye shadow is completely waterproof. I used water to rinse my face, but nothing came off!!

Affordability

I’d say it’s fairly priced. It’s not expensive at all.

Overall Performance of Miss Claire Eye shadow 0146

What do I like?
  1. Packaging
  2. Shade
  3. Affordable
  4. Waterproof
  5. Long lasting
What do I not like?
  1. Might work better for lighter skin tones
  2. Weak pigment
Would I repurchase & recommend?

Would I repurchase? No. The only reason is that this particular shade didn’t work for me. Would I recommend? For sure. If your skin tone is on the lighter side, I’d say go for it. It could look really pretty.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Glitter Single Bleached 1

Being the beauty junkie that I am, whenever new product launches, I look them up online. And if it’s within my budget and its something I like, I go ahead and buy it. On the 1st of December, the biggest beauty shopping website, Nykaa launched Wet n Wild in India. And I was super excited about it. In the past, the only Wet n Wild product that I’ve used is a lip gloss and I pretty much liked it. So when I woke up in the morning, I had a few messages saying ‘Wet n Wild has launched on Nykaa’ and the first thing I did that morning was going onto the app and check out the products. My first thought after seeing the products was ‘Wow, so reasonable’. So I immediately selected a few eyeshadows and went ahead and bought them. And today, Wet n Wild Color Icon Glitter Single Bleached  is exactly what I’m going to review.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Glitter Single Bleached 2

 

My Experience with the Wet n Wild Color Icon Glitter Single Bleached

So, Wet n Wild is a Los Angeles based company which focuses on quality products at amazing prices. The biggest plus point about the brand is that it is cruelty free and Peta certified. Great right? What I love is that the brand has openly admitted that not all products are vegan but they are striving to make it all vegan-friendly.

Now obviously, when I ordered the products I had very high expectations. When it came in, I was super excited because the shades were exactly what they looked like in pictures. Bleached is an absolutely gorgeous shade that is hard to explain. The moment I saw it on the Nykaa website, I knew I had to get it. It’s a mix of silver and gold that looks so festive and will look fabulous for a glam event. (It’s best that you see the shade in pictures) I expected it to be like a powdered eyeshadow but it is more like a glitter pigment with a cream like base. While it does glide onto the eyelid well, I think the staying power will be better if applied over a two-way gel. The texture isn’t like that of glitter pieces, it’s extremely soft and comfortable on the skin. What I really disliked about it though is that when it’s applied directly to the skin and water is splashed, it will wash off. And that’s quite a negative. BUT, if it’s layered well, it stays on properly and needs a bit of rubbing to get it off completely.

Emolene Cream

Emolene Cream : Best Cream for Dry Skin?

by Nikhita Ferreira

Over the years, I’ve been using moisturizers from various beauty brands and I’ve been quite satisfied. Some months ago though, I was having a bit of a skin issue and so I visited my regular dermatologist. During that visit, I was told to start using Emolene Cream on an everyday basis and since then, I’ve been carrying it everywhere I go.Let’s see if its the best cream for dry skin!

Emolene Cream

How to use

Take required quantity of gel/cream and massage it until it is absorbed. Apply it as many times as required.

My experience with Emolene Cream

Emolene Cream comes in a light blue tube with details printed in black. Like most other creams, this one too has very basic packaging, which is okay. It looks exactly like one of the creams you’d pick up from a chemist and not a beauty store. The cream is white in color and comes in a watery consistency, which is great.  Because of the watery texture, it sinks into the skin easily with a light massage. It does a great job of moisturizing and leaves the skin soft and hydrated for a long time. Since it is a water based product and has a nongreasy texture, it feels very light on the skin. It doesn’t feel like a product has been applied. Also, very little product is needed. The cream has a slight fragrance to it which is almost unnoticeable.  Like the brand mentions, it works well for dry to normal skin types. However, for those with oily skin, I suggest you skip it.

I use this moisturizer at least twice a day on my face and sometimes my hands and elbows too. It is very reasonable and easily available.

Emolene Cream 2

Pros
  1. Reasonable
  2. Easily available
  3. Good texture
  4. Light on the skin
  5. Light fragrance
  6. Moisturizing
Cons
  1. Decent Packaging
  2. Not suitable for oily skin
Would I repurchase & recommend?

Definitely. In fact, my derm told me that this should be my moisturizer for life. And he’s right…this is one product that I’m extremely happy with and definitely going to stick to. It works wonders for me and will work for anyone with dry to normal skin.

MAC Feels So Grand Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick Review + Swatches

Who is it for? MAC Feels So Grand Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour is  For those looking for a long-lasting, matte lip color in red.

MAC Feels So Grand Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick Review + Swatches

Price

INR 2050

My experience with the MAC Feels So Grand Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour

Packaging

So the packaging for MAC products is standard. The outer casing is a black box with the branding and basic details mentioned in white. The tube is transparent which allows you to see the shade and the cover is in black.

Application

The product comes with a doe foot applicator which makes it easy to use.

Texture

Since it is a liquid lipstick it has a smooth and creamy texture to it which allows the product to glide on easily.

Shade

It’s a beautiful bold shade of red that will suit all skin tones beautifully.

Pigmentation

So the pigmentation of the product is quite good but if it could be better, I’d love it a lot more J

Staying Power

Most MAC lip products are all long lasting. And same with the Feels So Grand, it lasts for hours on the lips and since it is a liquid lipstick, its staying power is even better.

Affordability

Well, it’s definitely not for you if you are on a tight budget. Of course, it’s a very good product and all of that, but it isn’t easy on the pocket.

Overall Performance of  MAC Feels So Grand Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick

What do I like?
  1. Basic packaging
  2. Shade
  3. Texture
  4. Staying Power
  5. Pigmentation
  6. Easy application
What do I not like?
  1. Pricing
Would I repurchase & recommend?

Yes. I’d definitely recommend the product if it’s within your budget. And again, yes. I would repurchase. It is a beautiful product that stays in place for hours.

Chambor Eye Tattoo Line ET 03

Chambor Eye Tattoo Line ET 03 Review

by Nikhita Ferreira

Who is it for?  Chambor Eye Tattoo Liner ET 03 is For those looking for a very subtle green eye liner.

Chambor Eye Tattoo Line ET 03

Price

INR 495 for 1.15gm

My experience with the Chambor Eye Tattoo Line ET 03

Packaging

The packaging is very basic like most other eyeliners. It is a dark green pencil that looks more like a grey with the text in silver. It has details like the shade and weight mentioned on it.

Shade

It is a green shimmer shade that barely shows through. When applied to the eyes, you can’t really tell that it is a shade of green, it looks more like a black. Even when swatched on the hand, it doesn’t show. Only if under really bright light or if it’s looked closely at…will you be able to tell the exact shade.

Affordability

INR 495 is the very average rate for most eyeliners, so it’s okay. But it’s not something I would invest in again.

Suitability

If the green showed through on the eyes, then maybe it would depend on eye colors. But, since it mostly looks like a black, it will suit everyone.

Texture

In terms of texture, I think it does a good job. It is smooth and glides on to the waterline quite easily, without any tugging.

What do I like about it?
  1. Smooth texture
  2. Affordable
  3. Nice shade in bright light
  4. Suits all skin tones and eye colors
What do I not like?
  1. The real shade doesn’t show through easily
Would I repurchase & recommend?

No, I wouldn’t. The formula and quality are great but the shade doesn’t show, so it’s quite pointless.

PAC Auto Lip Liner Blush

PAC Auto Lip Liner Blush Review

by Nikhita Ferreira

Who is it for? The PAC Auto Lip Liner Blush is for women/girls with lighter skin tones that are looking for a pink lip liner that can be used as a lipstick.

Price

INR 285

PAC Auto Lip Liner Blush

My experience with the PAC Auto Lip Liner Blush

Packaging

The lip liner comes in a box that is black and has the shade shown on one side of it. It has details like ingredients and pricing mentioned on it. The liner is in a roll on form and has a cover that fits on tight. It’s in the shade of the product with just the cover in black.

Shade

Blush is quite a pop of pink …you could say a Barbie sort of pink. And I’m not the biggest fan of that.

Texture

I’m not at all impressed in this department. It does look extremely smooth but when you go to apply it, you realize that it’s not.

Application

Application is not at all easy with this product. First of all, the bullet is extremely thin and keeps breaking when you apply. Also, the application is hard, really hard. It’s a very dry formula and so it tugs at the skin and goes on very patchy.

Suitability

This doesn’t suit dark skin tones for sure. It will work best for lighter tones and maybe a few medium skin tones.

My experience

I had a very bad experience with it. I’ve tried it just once and it looked horrible. It wouldn’t apply well, it was completely patchy and dry, you could tell by just looking at my lips. It’s really surprising because otherwise, PAC does really good products.

Overall experience with the PAC Auto Lip Liner Blush

Pros
  1. Suits light skin tones
  2. Decent packaging
Cons
  1. Doesn’t suit dark skin tones
  2. Very drying
  3. Applies patchy
  4. Tugs at the skin when applying
Would I repurchase & recommend?

If my issue was with just the shade, I’d recommend it because some people might actually like pink. But my issue was with everything. It was drying, patchy, tugging at the lips. There’s pretty much nothing right with this particular product.

PAC Eye Shadow PP49

PAC Eye Shadow PP49 Review

by Nikhita Ferreira

Who is it for? PAC Eye Shadow PP49 is For those looking for a silver eye shadow that will suit most skin tones and that it is not too heavy on the pocket.

Price

INR 300

Sensitivity Alert

Sometimes, when I apply eye makeup, my eyes start getting irritable. However, though, I’ve never had that issue when I’ve used the PP49.

PAC Eye Shadow PP49

My experience with the PAC Eye Shadow PP49

Packaging

Most refill eye shadows and lipsticks have the same basic packaging. The product comes on a metal pan with a magnetic base which makes it convenient to place into a magnetic palette. The pan is placed in a plastic covering that has details about pricing and shade mentioned on it.

Shade

I’m a warm skin tone so I usually stay away from shades like silver as it doesn’t suit me. Most silver shades that are available have a very steel-like look to it, which I don’t like. So even on clients, I used to try and steer away from this particular shade. But then I chanced upon the PAC PP49 which is a beautiful silver. It has a shimmery finish to it and will even suit a lot of warm toned people.

Texture

I use a lot of PAC products, and 90% of their eye shadows have a very soft and smooth finish, very butter like. And I love that.

Application

Because of its butter like finish, the application is very convenient. It glides on easily. Although, when I use it, I like to just pat it onto the lid, that way excess product isn’t applied.

Pigmentation

So when you take it onto a brush and apply it, it isn’t too strong. But I like it like that. If the pigment was stronger, the silver would be too much and the shade would lose its beauty.

My experience

Like I mentioned above, I’ve never come across a shade of silver that I liked. But this one works so well.

Overall experience with the PAC Eye Shadow PP49

Pros
  1. Magnetic base
  2. Beautiful shade
  3. The right amount of pigment
  4. Smooth, butter-like texture
  5. Application is convenient
Cons
  1. So far, no negatives J
Would I repurchase & recommend?

For sure. If a silver shade is what you’re looking for, then this is it.

PAC Gold Fish Auto Lip Liner

Who is it for? PAC Gold Fish Auto Lip Liner is For those looking for a lip liner that is in an orange shade and that is not heavy on the pocket.

PAC Gold Fish Auto Lip Liner

Price

INR 285

My experience with the PAC Gold Fish Auto Lip Liner

Packaging

So the packaging is the same as all the other auto lip liners. Black casing with the lip shade shown on it (obviously it doesn’t match the exact shade). The liner is a roll on that is convenient to use. So in terms of packaging, the brand has done a decent job.

Affordability

So INR 285 is not too much. But if it doesn’t do a good job, then it’s not worth it.

Shade

So the shade is a bit orange-ish. A bit too much orange for my liking.

Suitability

Because its quite a deep orange, it doesn’t suit all skin tones. It will suit lighter skin tones.

Texture

The texture of the product is creamy and glides on easily but very often tends to break a little when applying.

Staying Power

This was really upsetting. It didn’t last for very long. In fact, after three hours, it had completely faded off and only the lip line had colour…and that can be very embarrassing. And it’s not even like I had it on through a meal.

What do I like?
  1. Decent packaging
  2. Creamy texture
  3. Average pricing
What do I not like?
  1. Doesn’t suit all skin tones
  2. Weak staying power
Would I repurchase & recommend?

No. I definitely wouldn’t.

Sivanna Colors Eye Shadow 15

Who is it for? Sivanna Colors Eye Shadow 15 is For those looking for a pocket-friendly eye shadow in an orange shimmer shade that is extremely pigmented.

Price

Approximately INR 200

Sensitivity Alert

Off late, my eyes and skin haS gotten rather sensitive. But, with this particular eye shadow, I had no issue at all.

How to use

So the instructions are the same as all other eye shadows. You can also use a damp brush to apply, to make the shade stronger.

Sivanna Colors Eye Shadow 15

My experience with the Sivanna Colors Eye Shadow 15

Packaging

So most single eye shadows come in very basic packaging, but they look presentable. Not that I’m saying that this doesn’t look presentable but they couldn’t have worked on making it look a little more professional. The front transparent lid has the branding on it while the back just has a sticker mentioning the shade number.

Fragrance

To be very honest, I’ve not really gone up close to an eye shadow from a professional brand so I don’t know if it has a fragrance. But this one does, and its not pleasing. It has that very subtle fragrance that a lot of cheap makeup products do.

Texture/Consistency

It’s got a very smooth texture to it. I wouldn’t say butter like but it doesn’t feel like you have a product on.

Shade

I loved the shade the minute I saw it at the counter. It’s an orange shade that will suit all skin tones.

Pigmentation

For the price that it comes at, I think the pigmentation is really strong. When applying the product, a very small amount is required or else it will be a little too much.

Application

It’s easy to use eye shadow that glides on well and blends easily.

My Experience

I’m very happy with this purchase. The shade looks beautiful and adds a whole lot of glam

Overall performance of Sivanna Colors Eye Shadow 15

Pros
  1. Beautiful shade
  2. Blends easily
  3. Strong pigment
  4. Affordable
Cons
  1. The packaging is not great
  2. The fragrance isn’t pleasing
Would I recommend & repurchase?

Definitely.

PAC Diamond Eye shadow No 216

Who is it for? PAC Diamond Eye shadow No 216 is For those looking for a wine like an eye shadow with some shimmer in it that can be used to glam up your look.

Price

Again, I’m not so sure of the exact pricing. But, it’s between INR 300- 450.

Sensitivity Alert

I haven’t faced any issue with this and neither have any of my clients. So I’d say it’s safe!

PAC Diamond Eye shadow No 216

My experience with the PAC Diamond Eye shadow No 216

Packaging

The eye shadow comes in the usual metallic refill pan, which is placed in a plastic casing. I have no issue with the packaging, only thing is, I wish the pan came with a magnet to it. It would have made storing easier.

Shade

Now, this is one beautiful shade that you don’t find very easily. It’s sort of like a wine/burgundy shade that has a lot of gold shimmer specs to it. So, if you’re looking to glam up your look for a night out, it will work beautifully.

Texture

So, I usually like eye shadows that feel buttery between the fingers. Basically, when you can’t tell that you have a product in your hands. But, with this one, due to the shimmer, it does feel a tad bit grainy.

Application

Now here’s the tricky part. This particular PAC eye shadow doesn’t blend with as much ease. It needs to be patted on to the lid or has to be used with glue as there’s quite a bit of fall out.

Affordability

A lot of people have told me that they find it a little pricey. But, for me, since I do makeup professionally, I think it’s a real steal.

Pigmentation

Like all other PAC products, this one too has a very strong pigment.

My experience

I’m extremely happy with this product. I haven’t used it on myself, but I’ve used it on clients and they’ve all loved it. It looks gorgeous on the eyes and adds so much of glam to the look. It completely ups your game.

My overall experience with the PAC Diamond Eye Shadow No 216

Pros
  1. Strong pigment
  2. Not expensive
  3. Beautiful shade
  4. Decent packaging
Cons
  1. No magnet to the pan
  2. Lots of fall out
Would I repurchase & recommend?

Of course. I love the shade and its great quality too. So guys, go get it!!
