Makeup Post : BH Cosmetics-Take me back to Brazil Palette-Five different eye-looks

Hi Fam!

Today,I am going to share my latest five different eye-looks which I did using BH Cosmetics #Takemebacktobrazil eyeshadow palette.

Let's get started!

1. Light Green & Light sky blue

I love the way the light green colour goes with the light sky blue/mint blue colour.I knew that a muted rusty-brown lipstick will look great with this whole look.Look how well this entire makeup-look turned out! I love this makeup-look to bits.
                           

2. Blue Eye (Hypnotize kardi e mainu...hahaha)

I am sure if you are a neutral palette lover you might not like the idea of wearing a straight-up/on your face Bright Blue eye-shadow on your eyes.However,I liked how this shade looks rich and not patchy on the eye-lids. I paired this look with muted pink toned lipstick.Somehow this eye-makeup has elevated the whole look,what do you think?

3. Bright Neon Green

See, the idea was to use the green shade all over the lids and scare others...just kidding.I do not know I don't get scared of bright eye-shadows.In fact, I like such shades a lot.

In this makeup-look,I used the Neon green eye-shadow and packed carefully onto my eye-lids.See how nicely the eye-shadow has been applied that's because of one important product which I will discuss in my upcoming makeup-post.

Alright! at the end I used the muted orange toned lipstick to finish of  the whole makeup-look. 

Did you Like this green shade?

4.Go Purple

This one was inspired by one of the renowned Indian Beauty Bloggers :Debasree

I love how purple colour has been paired up with the bright neon green.

Purple is a very tough colour to create in the form of an eye-shadow.

Let me tell you,this purple was so soft and easy to apply that it felt like a dream.#notsponsored

Didn't really had a tough time blending it too.

The right amount of the Neon green eye-shadow added the pop which looked so cool...I must say...I am in love with the colour-combinaton and you can try it out too (for sure).

Completed the whole look by keeping the lips out of focus as I wanted this colour-combo to stand out.Clearly,it happened!

5. Light Green and Dark Green

I know that this eye-makeup would have reminded of parrots...tell me...tell me if that's true? :D

I paired the light green in the inner half of my eye-lids and dark green at the outer half of it.

Blended the harsh edges with a clean blending brush and voila...we have got a beautiful eye-look which was really easy to create.As usual,used my trusty muted nude lipstick to tie up the whole makeup-look together.Will you try this makeup-look?

That's it for today.

Hope you enjoyed reading and looking-at the different eye-looks.

Do let me know if you liked any of these makeup-looks.Which one did you like the most?

MAC Haul!!!

Hi Ladies!

How are you doing?

Today,I am gonna share my mini MAC Haul.

Recently,I purchased some products from MAC.Read on to find out my picks.

MAC Prep+Prime Fix Plus:

It's a makeup spray.Can be used as a primer and as a setting spray.Packaging is cute and travel-friendly.I wanted to check out the travel-size as it becomes very hard to carry the full sized bottle.This product works great on my dry skin.Easy to carry and toss in the bag and can be used on the go.

Price : AED 49

Size : 30 ml

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in the shade Soft & Gentle:

It's an illuminating face powder,basically a soft highlighter which can be layered and it can definitely turn into a blinding highlighter.

I love highlighters and I had heard a lot of good things about this product and that's the reason why I purchased this highlighter.It has got very smooth texture,soft to touch.This will suit all the Indian skin tones pretty well specially medium-skin tones.

Price : AED 140

Size : 10g

                                          

MAC Extra Dimension Eye shadow in the shade Amorous Alloy:

Amazing packaging!!! Just look at the product and the wavy design(embossing)..looks classy in my opinion.It's a deep terracotta copperish shade.Very smooth to touch and glides on nicely on the eyelids.Can be used all over the eyelids to get that extra glamorous single eye-shadow look.

Price : AED 90

Size : 1.3 g

                                         

                                               

MAC Lipstick in the shade Devoted to Chili:

It's a part of Powder Matte Lipstick collection.Packaging is cool too,it has got a matte black finish...love it.This shade in particular attracted me as it's a burnt orange-terracotta shade which I am loving these days.When I swatched it,I could feel that this lipstick has got a comfortable-matte finish and not purely matte finish.Check out the swatch you will understand what I am trying to say.

"On website : A moisture-matte weightless lipstick that delivers a romantic blur of effortless soft-focus colour.Devoted to Chili is a Warm Brick Red shade."

It's perfect Dupe is Maybelline's Matte Ink lipstick in the shade Globetrotter.Must check out if you wanna try out this kind of shade on a budget.I am yet to try out this lipstick,will definitely share my opinion on this lipstick super soon.

Price : AED 95

Size : 3g                              

                               

                                                   

      

MAC X Disnep Aladdin-Matte Lipstick in the shade Rajah

Omg! I am in love with this collection.I wanted to try out this particular shade as it's a true berry red shade which I love love love.Perfect for Indian/Medium skin tone.To be honest, this is a universal shade and I am pretty sure that it will suit Fair to Deep skin tones very well.It's perfect Dupe is Chambor Geneva's Liquid Lipstick in the shade 405.Do check out.

"Devoted to Chili" lipstick has got semi-matte finish which is matte but, still moisturizing. Altough,the product claims are that it's a matte lipstick,after swatching it we can safely say that it has got a comfortable matte-finish.This lipstick is amazing and the packaging it very unique and attractive too.

Price : AED 105

Size : 3g

                                           

That's it for today.

Styling Denim Shirt in Three Easy ways!

Hi Fam!

How are you doing?

It's been a long time that I've put up a blog-post.So,here I am to share my styling tips with the Universe. :) #styledbyglamnglaze

Today I am gonna let you know how to style a simple denim shirt in three different ways...so let's get started.

First Look:(From left side,first pic in the collage):

Striped clothing piece is one of my personal favorites.For the first look,I chose black and white striped tee,jet black jeggings and wore a blue denim shirt.Left it unbuttoned.Wore a pair of sunglasses -white-framed to sync up the whole look.Completed the look with white Adidas sneakers!

Second Look (Denim on Denim - Middle pic in the collage):

I chose to pair my denim shirt with denim shorts.Tied the shirt's loose ends as a knot for a smarter-look.Accessorized the look by adding hoop earrings,tan colored belt,bag and finished off the look by wearing plain white sneakers #sneakerlover :D

This look is my favourite.

Third Look (Last pic in the collage):

Here I chose to wear black spaghetti top with ripped denim skirt.Denim shirt as a cover-up.Accesorized the look by adding Black-framed sunglasses,black coloured ankle boots.Finished off the look with a white backpack.

Belt,sunglasses and boots matched.So,entire outfit looked cohesive in my opinion.

Which look did you like the most? Do lemme know in the comment-section below.

That's it for today.I will definitely see you super duper soon with another interesting blog-post...adios!!!

Ingredients :

WATER (AQUA), GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PETROLATUM, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, UREA, STEARIC ACID, CETEARETH-20, LACTAMIDE MEA, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL, PARAFFIN, DIMETHICONE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, ANANAS SATIVUS (PINEAPPLE) FRUIT JUICE, CITRUS MEDICA LIMONUM (LEMON) JUICE, CITRUS GRANDIS (GRAPEFRUIT) JUICE, BHT, CARAMEL, DISODIUM EDTA, COCOS NUCIFERA (COCONUT) FRUIT EXTRACT, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, PHENOXYETHANOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PROPYLPARABEN, METHYLPARABEN, FRAGRANCE (PERFUME).

                                      

My Experience :

Packaging:

The product comes in a cream-coloured plastic tube.The tube has got a flip open cap.It's very tight and secures the product well.We need to squeeze the tube to take out the product.The nozzle is of appropriate size and enough product comes out at a time.All the details like ingredients,shelf-life,quantity etc are mentioned on the packaging.The tube is really compact and not heavy at all.Very sturdy and travel friendly packaging.Experienced no product-spillage in the handbag while travelling.Decent packaging.

                                     

In Pic : Shown the flip open cap attached to the tube

Formula & Texture:

Formula : Ingredients like glycerin , shea butter , olive oil, pineapple juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice , coconut fruit extract have been used. 

These ingredients are well-known to deal with skin-issues and make it feel more rejuvenated. 

• Shea butter and coconut extract keeps the skin moisturized.
• Vitamin E present in olive oil is an antioxidant that protects the skin against sun damage and other environmental stresses. 
• In general,Lemon juice helps in killing the bacteria etc.
• In general,Grapefruit is high in antioxidants which fight the free radicals that cause wrinkles, and dull complexion. The salicylic acid present in the grapefruit juice works magically on the elbows, knees and rough patches.                     

Texture: The off white coloured foot cream has a very creamy texture, The consistency is not that thin or runny, it's well balanced.Get's absorbed into the skin meticulously. Non sticky product.

Fragrance:

If you have smelled shea butter ever, you will recognize the fragrance of the foot cream.It's mild and smells kind of vanilla-like...it's pleasant , nothing bothersome.The fragrance goes away as the time passes.Very quickly.

Effective?

Yes.

• The foot cream has a creamy texture which is amazing.Soft to touch.No granules or harsh particles are present.Plain cream.
• Nice ingredients.The combo of the ingredients like glycerin , shea butter ,coconut extract etc is amazing. It works on the skin pretty well.
• Very lightweight formula. Doesn't feel greasy at all.
• It gets absorbed into the skin quite well
• Very comfortable.After applying the cream on the feet, the skin feels better.
• Regular usage of this product helped in reducing the skin-dryness
• Also, flakiness of the skin was tackled well by this cream
• As the time passed, skin felt moisturized, soft and supple.
• Won't say that we will get fairy-like feet in just one day of usage.Keep using this product on a regular-basis to feel the effect.A month or so, it totally depends on the severity of the damaged skin.
• For best results, wash your feet at night and apply the foot cream generously.Wear socks and sleep tight.Doing this will help in reducing the dryness and will heal the rough skin.

Con:

• Not Paraben free.
• Contains dimethicone and alcohol
• A bit pricey for the quantity being offered.One tube lasted for a month.But,yes the product-quality is great!

Will I re-purchase?

Yes.

Overall,I would like to say that this foot cream is really nice.You should check out and try this product if you are suffering from dry & rough feet.Must try out once.Highly recommend.

Rating : 4/5

Availability:

In UAE, Carrefour stores and all well-known supermarkets.

My Experience:

Shade(023,Chestnut): It's a muted brown shade with mauvy/red undertones...love it:)
Suitable for all skin tones.

Packaging:
•  The lipstick comes in a plastic black-coloured tube,GOSH is written on the lid of the tube
•  Shade-name and number are mentioned at the bottom of the lipstick-tube on a sticker
•  The sticker is colour-coded and matches the lipstick-shade(more or less...true)
•  The packaging is sturdy and travel-friendly
•  Light-weight tube
•  Details like weight and type of lipstick are also mentioned at the bottom(sticker) of the lipstick-tube

Formula & Texture:

• Hyaluronic has been used in the lipsticks in this collection...awesome
• The lipstick is called the Velvet Touch Matt lipstick and has a creamy matte-finish(may be because of beeswax, hyaluronic acid)
• The lipstick is very pigmented and glides on smoothly on the lips
• Highly pigmented,in one swipe we get full colour-payoff
• Has very mild vanilla-fragrance


Benfits and importance of Hyaluronic acid:

• Hyaluronic acid is also used as a lip filler in plastic surgery
• Some people apply hyaluronic acid to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers, and as a moisturizer
• There is also a lot of interest in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging

Swatch:

Effective and worth?
Yes

• Firstly,the brand is cruelty-free and all the products are Paraban free...really cool
• Very comfortable on lips.Need to swipe two to three times to get an intense colour payoff.It can be     toned down and used as MLBB shade as well! Hides lip pigmentation completely.
• Keeps lips moisturized i.e.Hyaluronic acid keeps lips hydrated and smooth
• This lipstick doesn't enhance dry patches on the lips
• The lipstick doesn't bleed,flake or sit into the lip's fine-lines
• It does not stain the lips and wears-off evenly!
• The lipstick has a wear time of around 3 to 4 hours(max)
• Need to do a touch-up after meals as the lipstick fades away evenly.Re-application of the product is easy and the product sits smoothly on the lips

Con:
Nothing

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,I love it so much.It's an amazing shade that can be worn on a daily basis.Very impressed.It looks dark in the tube , but , when applied on the lips it looks muted brown-red kind of shade.Perfect.Love it. Do check this shade out girls!

I highly recommend this lipstick and do check out Velvet Touch Matt lipstick-collection
as there are nice shades out there.

Rating : 5/5

Tip:
Exfoliate your lips before wearing any lipstick specially matte lipsticks else the lipstick will cling to the dry patches on the lips!

Review : GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Black Spiral Volume XXL

Hi Beauties!

Hope you are doing great!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Spiral Volume XXL.Shade name : Carbon Black.

About GOSH Copenhagen:
GOSH COPENHAGEN is a young and innovative cosmetics, bath & body and fragrance company based in Denmark. Founded in 1945 as a pharmaceutical company, GOSH COPENHAGEN quickly moved into the cosmetics industry. GOSH COPENHAGEN products are currently sold in more than 75 countries throughout the world.

All product development, production and distribution take place from our head office in Denmark, as we see no better way than overseeing all the steps ourselves. This way we ensure all products under the GOSH COPENHAGEN brand embody our identity and values.

Product Description:

Boombastic Swirl Mascara gives lashes XXL volume and spectacular length. XXL Swirl up volume and spectacular length and a giant swirled rubber brush are the keywords of the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara. The formula of the Boombastic Swirl mascara is full-bodied, creamy and really spreadable. It blackens and thickens the lashes without making them look clumpy or spidery. The added Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract gives lashes a boost whilst a synergy of waxes and olive oil adds nourishing properties to the formula.

The vibrant green container reflects the infused bamboo extract while the artwork brings the swirled brush to mind with the discreet swirled O in Boombastic. The present Boombastic mascara is one of the bestselling mascaras within the GOSH Cosmetics mascara assort­ment and with the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara now added to the Boombastic mascara range, anyone can find a Boombastic mascara for every look and mood.

The brush:
A giant swirled rubber brush with bristles at the tip grabbing even the tiniest lashes for application. The unique spiral shaped combination of bristles and discs creates spectacular volume and length.
• XXL Volume
• Spectacular length
• Giant swirled rubber brush
• Bristels at the tip allows even more precise application
• Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract improves lashes volume and vitality and makes them stronger, nourished and moisturised

My Experience:

Packaging:
The first thing that attracted me towards this product was the packaging indeed.The vibrant neon-green coloured bottle looked amazing and appealing.The details like quantity,shelf-life and shade name are mentioned on the packaging itself.The twist open cap is easy to remove.The mascara-applicator is very different and swirly unlike any other normal looking mascara.Interesting. Sturdy and travel-friendly packaging.Easy to carry in your handbag.

Formula & Texture:
The formula is neither very wet nor dry,it's just somewhere in between and perfect.It's well balanced.
It dries quickly.The moussy-textured mascara is nicely pigmented and easy to work with.
Need to apply a coat and then wait for it to dry.Then re-apply the product on the lashes.This ensures that we get that desired length.

Effective?
Yes.Kind of.

• Firstly, the formula is so nice that it becomes very easy to play with the mascara.
• The wand is long and the swirly-bristles help in coating each and every eye-lash.
• The bristles at the front of the applicator helps in reaching out the lashes around the inner corner.Be careful and do not poke your eyes.
• Applying two to three coats of the mascara helps in getting lengthened lashes.
• In order to get volume, we need to apply the mascara for about three to four times.
• It holds the curled lashes very well.
• Smudge-proof : Didn't smudge a bit and stayed put whole day.
• Didn't flake at all.Avoid layering a lot of product,else, It will certainly flake.
• Key Ingredients : Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract improves lashes - volume and vitality and makes them stronger.Argan Oil helps in strengthening the hairs in the long run and bamboo extract keeps the lashes moisturized.How cool is that! Makeup that has skincare-ingredients.Amazing.
• It's water resistant to a great extent.Not really waterproof as such.Not that easy to remove using lukewarm water.Need to use a good makeup remover.

                                   

                                                            In Pic : Shown mascara-wand

Con:

• The actual applicator is very huge and it becomes very difficult to push into the bottle at times.Be patient.
• Messy application due to the huge applicator
• Need to keep layering to get desired volume and hence the product starts clumping on the lashes
• Gives no volume to the lashes
• Some people might find this mascara pricy

Will I re-purchase?
No, as I wanna try other mascaras from the same brand. I had tried Crazy Volume mascara earlier and liked it.
But, I recommend Boombastic Swirl mascara to people who are looking for a decent mascara that gives average length to their lashes.It separates the lashes beautifully.Holds up the curls well.
