MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL LIPSTICK HOOKED ON PINK 065 SWATCH & REVIEW

Heyy guyss today i'm gonna review a lipstick quite long existing in the market but still :P. When it comes to lip colours i usually love anything thats pink, coral, tangerinish/ orangy off lately and of course nudes are forever. This one is a true berry color. Not too much red, plumy or blue just a pefect berry shade is what i would say. For everyday wear i like keeping it soft and nautral like looking lips.

WHAT I LIKE:

• Its super pigmented and goes opaque in just one swipe. 

• Its non drying and moisturizes decently.

• I like the packaging. Its sturdy and easy to find the shade your looking for when in hurry  which can save your time.

• Staying power is pretty decent. it stays for about 4-5 hours on me and leaves a tint behind on fading.

• Very affordable and a great value for money.
• 
  
• Its smells good too something like a sweet coconut mmmmm.

WHAT I DONT LIKE:

• Not for people with dry lips. you may wanna moisturise your lips before using it.

The color dint picture quite well but in real its a really pretty ruby pink which according to me will look flattering on all indian skin tones :) see it goes opaque in just one swipe.

3 swipes


For college i just like a hint of color on my lips so that it does not look OTT (Over the top) and so i just pat/ dab it slightly on my lips and blend it out.

Price : 350 now. (It was just 299 previously. Damn!)

Take care 

Lots of love

Priyanka.

Mabelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review & swatch

MAYBELLINE LASTING DRAMA GEL EYELINER REVIEW

Hey guys today I’m gonna review Maybelline lasting drama gel eyeliner in Black. I totally love gel eyeliners.

• GEL EYELINERS are neither liquid nor pencil like the texture is really soft and creamy. and glides on smoothly and effortlessly.

• The color pay off is brilliant it’s a matte intense black.

• Its smudge free and it does stay really long. It lasted for about 13 hours on me after which I had to hit the bed so removed all the makeup.

• Its wonderful for tight lining as well. It gives you dense and thick looking lashes.

• I love the packaging as well. It comes in a glass pot which gives it a very classy touch.

• Surprise J ! it comes with a brush. What more can you ask for? The brush comes in a perfect size, the bristles are really soft and good enough to line your lids from thin to thick lines.

• If you want to smudge it you need to quickly do so before it dries up coz once its set its hard to smudge it.

• Its very opaque. One swipe and your done.

• It does not itch or sting either. (but you may first wanna try it if u have sensitive eyes).

PRICE: INR 410

WHAT I LIKE?

Everything. Yes everything.

My rating: 10/10.

Good luck

Priyanka.

Is ur hair struck in your hair brush?

Heyy guys yesterday was a very awful day for me but thankfully it ended well.. Last evening my aunt wanted to try to curl one section of my hair and blow dry the other. After she finished curling one section she took out a hair roller brush and unconsciously rolled up the brush like a curler and it was an oh f*$% moment for us.. I dint want to chop off my hair..

But thankfully she got an idea and fortunately it worked :) :) :) ..

                         

1. When you face times like this Pin up rest of your hair.
2. Take a scissor and cut the bristles of your roller brush.
3. Gently take out your hair from the roller brush  section by section and thats it!! You have saved your hair :) :) :) :)  phewwww what a relief.
4. Make sure you don't untangle your hair right after taking it off your roller brush. 
5. Wait for some time and then apply Livon or any other leave on hair conditioner or serum.
6. Then using a wide toothed comb start coming your the bottom of your hair slowly with a very light pressure.
7. And as you keep untangling move up and remove all the tangles. 
8. Since your hair and scalp has gone through so much of push and pull I recommend to massage your scalp With warm coconut oil ( you can use any oil of your choice)overnight.
9. Wash off your hair next morning.
