Accessory Haul from Ebay #ShoppingDiaries

May 14, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

The best thing about online shopping is that they have sales running on them every now and then! I was looking for a few jewelled hairbands which I had on my wish list since long and I went window shopping on ebay as it’s the only website where we get every damn thing , yes , I mean it ! Every single thing which you might not get on Flipkart or amazon you’ll find it on ebay ! Ebay is a site where you’ll find things you simply can’t resist ! The best thing about it are the sweet sellers who send cute message cards along with the product which make me happy ^_^ Hence when ebay had a sale going on I hogged the moment and hauled up a few things..

I bought a necklace set which I intended to gift to one of my cousin. While I was browsing I stumbled upon an irresistible pair of ear cuffs in gold and a cheaper one in silver. I also bought a powder blush from Anne Andrea in peach which I am yet to try!

These gold plated ear cuffs are pretty to look at and lightweight when you wear them and cost me around 500 bucks . The only con about them is that they tend to hurt your ears after a period of 1 hour . My ears turned red and it was quite painful :/ I think the fault is with the designing. I recommend you to avoid buying these, its painful!

The same goes for the silver ones, they were as painful as the gold ones :(

The hairbands where love at first sight ! The gold studded floral hairband is now my favorite ! I have worn it more than 25 times ! *Happy face* The silver is yet to be worn. the material of the hairband is good but the satin at the ends tend to come out , I had to stick them back with fevikwik. Other than that they are a nice buy at a reasonable price.

The necklace came in a delicate package and I am glad there was no damage done to it. It’s a sweet light silver color studded necklace with earrings.

I loved the cards each seller sent with their respective products. they had a sweet message for me along with their website address. So that was my small haul from ebay. Have you shopped for jewellery from ebay? How was your experience?

Review: Maybelline Cheeky Glow in Fresh Coral

January 03, 2015 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

I Love the brand Maybelline for introducing so many quality products at reasonable prices. At present Maybelline is the brand beginners can start off with and they have everything from foundation to lipsticks all on a budget.
The Cheeky Glow blushes are one of the most affordable blushes available in india and they are available in three shades and I picked up fresh coral about months back and ofcourse delayed the review , but now without any delay lets get to checking out how this fared.

Price and Quantity: 225 for 7 gm ( price may have increased to 250 now)
Variant being reviewed: Fresh coral
Shelf Life : 36 months

Packaging: I love the compact transparent white packaging of the blush . The blush is looks tiny and takes very little space in my makeup bag and shuts tightly with a clasp so, this makes for an ideal travel blush. This blush doesn’t comes with a mirror or a brush but it doesn’t matter to me as both are useless for me.

My experience with cheeky glow in fresh coral:
Since the blush is priced so low I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised . The pigmentation and staying power is amazing for the price and at present this is my most abused blush and I may actually hit the pan soon .
This particular blush in fresh coral is a warm pinkish coral free off shimmers, it is actually very matte. The texture is nice creamy smooth which blends easily giving a natural flush .Two swipes of this blush is enough to add colour to my cheeks and stays for around 4-5 hours without needing touch ups. Since it is matte shade this makes for a great day time as well as night time blush .This colour will suit almost all indan skin tones and it is a must have for starters as it blends easily and there is no chance of overdoing it .
Pros:

Packaging is compact, sturdy and cute
The most Affordable blush in Indian market
Good pigmentation
Staying power of 4-5 hours
Pretty matte , warm pink shade
Smooth non chalky texture
Easily available

Cons:

No mirror or applicator but that’s actually not a problem with me

BlingSparkle Rating:

★★★★★/5

Verdict: Amazing quality offered for the price, if you are a make up beginners this is the blush range to try as they are affordable, easily avaialble and blend easily. A great day time blush which iam loving at the moment.

ELF Studio Blush in Pink Passion Review

August 12, 2014 BY CyberKID 0 Comments

Price : $3.99

Quantity: 4.75 grams

Variant being reviewed: Pink Passion

elf is a popular international make up brand but I have not tried much of it because it isnt easily available in india and has to shipped from international websites like amazon and beauty joint. I purchased this blush along with a gel liner from elf and some nyx and jordana products from amazon.com.

Packaging:

ELF Studio Blush Pink Passion comes in a plastic black packaging with a small clear plastic strip for colour showcase without opening the blush. It has small mirror inside but there isnt any applicator (which is good!) . The blush shuts tight making it travel friendly. All in all this sleek budget blush gives a classy and elegant feel on first look

The Shade Pink Passion is a very bright pink with a matte finish . The colour looks very candyish and OOT in the pan and I thought this was a wrong buy and it wouldn’t suit my indian skin tone but I was pleasantly surprised at it looked very natural on my cheeks. So you can say this shade is suitable for all skin tones and don’t go by the colour in the pan.

Texture: The texture of blush is smooth and a bit powdery but it is very buildable and blends easily. it is decently pigmented and one swipe would be enough for a natural flushed look. I love that this blush has a matte finish with not a dot of shimmer .

Staying Power: The staying power of this blush is another plus as it stays almost all day . It stays put for 4-6 hours even without a primer which is a great thing considering its price. Also since it is so compactly packaged it is easy to carry in your handbag for touch ups.

Yay:

Classy, compact and travel friendly packaging
Decently pigmented
Matter shimmer free buildable finish
Blends easily
Good staying power
Price is good but you have to pay international shipping which is a pain

Nays:

Availability. ELF come to India please!
No applicator but that doesn’t matter to me.

Where to buy: From Amazon.com or official website of ELF (Eyes Lips Face) . Keep an eye for 50% –60% sales which ELF keeps having to compensate for shipping.

Blingsparkle Rating: ★★★★/5

Verdict: I recommend this beauty of a blush to all. For the price they are a great deal. If you are make up starter this is a great range to start from
