The Beauty Hotlist: Top 5 best budget blushes !
December 17, 20140 Comments
Best five budget blushes
A little blush on cheeks can make a big difference!  Blushes have always been looked up as to bring a more youthful appearance, and to emphasize the cheekbones !I think there's something quite charming and attractive about a beautifully applied blush that can't be replaced by anything else in a makeup routine.
I personally love blushes and use it on a regular basis, not fan of bronzer though. But blushes that have shimmer in them are preferred less likely than the matte and perfect plain ones. I remember a guy once looked at a picture of mine and asked me if the pink in cheek of my face was because I was blushing while I got the picture clicked. All I could do was laugh (Ofcourse I took it as a compliment and did a double jig, the typical me) So yes blush that looks natural is a whole new thing ;)
Also I have a childhood confession to make, and don’ you dare judge I was just a child! Well when we were kids we ofcourse had zilch knowledge about makeup but we often saw are teachers and dance teacher use blusher and we would wait for the makeup thing during the school day dance thing , no really you have no idea how it feels to finally wear makeup that looks so much similar to a bollywood celeb we adored !And guess what we ( By we I mean not just me but other girls in my class, it was a norm then) would steal are mommies or aunties red or pink lipsticks and actually smudge it directly with the tip of the lipstick to our cheeks and ended up looking like we just stuck a red circle on our cheeks. Haha. But looking ugly didn't seem problem then , we were always ready to give it a try !
bLUSH DURING CHILDHOOD
Story Of My Life
Blush makeup is used to simulate a natural glow and must look subtle. Not whiny and attention seeking ! However, there are many ways to apply blush so that you not only add vivacity to your complexion, but also highlight the correct part of your face.
Now coming to the top 5 blushes: (Suitable for Indian skin tone)

1. Maybelline Cheeky Glow blush- Fresh Coral :
2. NYX cream Blush Glow
3. Oriflame Very Me Cherry My Cheeks Pretty Pink Blush
4. Lotus Herbals Purestay Blusher Rose Kiss
5. Faces Canada Glam On Powder Blush Crimson

All of these cost below INR 500 ! Yes ! And they beat brands with pricing more than a thousand bucks ! But do check if the shade suits you , even though these blushes are available in many shades!

Lotus Herbals Lip Gloss In Plum Delight Review
September 08, 20140 Comments

When it comes to lip products I love using lotus Herbals because they are 100% vegetarian and I tend to lick of a lot of product so this helps . Today iam reviewing a very classy lip gloss shade in Plum Delight from lotus herbals Pure stay range . I love these lip glosses for its texture, staying power and Affordability.

100_7590

Price: 395 INR

Quantity : 8gm

Shelf Life: 36 months

Shade Reviewed: Plum Delight

Active Ingredients : Evening Primrose Oil, Grape Seed Oil and Vitamin E.

Packaging: The PureStay range of glosses have a very classy rectangular tube type transparent packaging while the screw cap wand is opaque with a metallic finish. It is very travel friendly and light weight to carry around. I personally Love the packaging and think it is Uber stylish.

Fragrance: It has very mild pleasant floral kind of fragrance which will not bother any sensitive noses

The Shade Plum delight is creamy maroonish purple which gives fuller and plumped lips when applied. It can be applied on its own or even over a lipstick .

The Texture of the gloss is  thick and a wee bit sticky giving a very lustrous glossy finish. The Gloss is well pigmented and has an impressive staying power of around 3-4 hours after which it fades off leaving a beautiful tint behind. I have dry lips but the gloss isnt drying in anyway but I do need to hydrate my lips after this fades away.

The doe foot applicator picks right amount of product and glides easily on the lips.

The Gloss can be worn sheer or built up for more colour and it can easily cover pigmented lips which my favorite thing about this . This particular Shade ink Delight is has very fine shimmer which is barely visible on lips and this shade will suit most indian skin tones.

Review: Lotus Herbals Basiltone Toner
February 23, 20140 Comments

100_5155
I have dry skin but I don’t follow the toning routine religiously and when I do tone occasionally it is with rose water. when I spotted this basiltone toner I was tempted to try it solely for its packaging. The spray dispenser, I Like Love.
100_5156
Price: Rs 185 for 100 ml
This toner is for combination and oily skin types but it not dry out my dry skin and just two pumps was enough to cover my face and neck. Most of the times I don’t use cotton I spray this toner directly on my face and feel refreshed , but I hate the vegetablish smell which goes away after some time. I so miss my gulab jal which has lovely fragrance.
All that aside this light green toner does remove dirt and gives a fresh sensation after sparying it  but it  does nothing for my pores

The Pluses:
  • Packaging, sturdy and travel friendly.
  • affordable
  • Easily available
  • Alcohol free
The minuses:
  • The fragrance, I hate it
  • contains parabeans , not a problem for me though
  • Does noting for the pores
Verdict: Overall I think this is a good value for money Toner for Oily or  combination skinned beauties. Girls with dry skin should avoid it, otherwise fabulous travel friendly toner.
Rating : 4/5
