Rimmel London Match Perfection Liquid Foundation - 201 Classic Beige - Review, Swatch, FOTD

One of my favourite foundations for summer months that I'm sharing today is from Rimmel Match Perfection Range with SPF 18 - 201 Classic Beige.

The foundation comes in a glass bottle (the only thing that I don't like about this foundation - I would hate to drop it!) with a screw cap. There is a pump dispenser inside and one pump is good to cover the face and neck. For a little more coverage I go over the required areas with one more pump.  The shade is clearly visible from the bottle itself. The texture is creamy but not gloopy. It smooths over the skin easily. It does not have a noticeable smell. You can apply it with your hands, a sponge or a brush. I prefer applying it with my Sigma Kabuki 3DHD brush to get the perfect finish and quick application.

You can mix a drop of this foundation with your regular moisturiser to create your own tinted moisturiser as well.

FOTD Using Maybelline Insta Glam Box - Review

Hi everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the Raksha Bandhan celebrations - and if you are in Delhi - the rains just made the day a lot better weather wise!

Today I am sharing a simple FOTD I did sometime back using the Maybelline Insta Glam box. Maybelline has come up with these gift boxes which are wedding and festival special that contain a mix of Maybelline products. I did my FOTD using the Maybelline Insta Glam Box which is a wedding special box.

FOTD Using Maybelline Insta Glam Box - Review

The box comes in a bright orange color with a magnetic closure. The box I have contains the following products:

1. Colossal Kajal

2. Color Show Nail Enamel

3. Diamond Glow Eye Shadow

4. Color Sensational Lip Polish

5. Volume Express Hyper Curl Mascara

6. Cheeky Glow

7. Color Show Liner

My box is the pink box. I used all the products to create a day time party look with smoked purple eyes. Since the look was for a day time party I haven't made the eyes too smokey. And I mixed the metallic blue eyeliner with the black kohl to create just a hint of blue on the eyes.

FOTD Using Maybelline Insta Glam Box - Review

I have used the nail enamel in my Raksha Bandhan nail art that you can check HERE.

For the face base I have used a new foundation that I am trying out these days from an organic brand. Will be reviewing that soon too.

Hope you liked this look. I think the Insta Glam box is great for gifting. It is a great set for college going girls as it helps you save money - if you buy the above products individually they will cost you Rs 2010 but this box is priced at Rs 1499.

You can purchase the insta glam boxes HERE.

In case you still wish to buy only a single product and would like me to review it do let me know.

L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse Review, Swatches and FOTD

Today I'm reviewing two gorgeous shades from the new L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse range. 

L'Oreal Paris Shine Caresse Lip Colors

Shine Caresse lip colors are liquid lipsticks with an extremely light weight texture and give shine like a lip gloss.

They come in these cute little boxes with a tiny window through which you can see the color you have purchased. Details of all the ingredients are mentioned on the box (click the picture to enlarge it)

Inside the box is your lipstick packaged in a light gold tube.

The lipstick opens from the square end which has the shade name written on it. Just twist it open and what you get is a doe shaped applicator very common in lip-glosses.

Lakme Skin Stylist Kit & Lakme CC Cream FOTD

Is this post late? Very late? Very very late? Oh yes its late indeed. I got this kit from Lakme as a prize for a contest held on Neisha's blog.

Lakme Skin Stylist Kit & Lakme CC Cream FOTD

The kit contains the Lakme Iconic Kajal, Lakme CC cream, Lakme 9-to-5 nail paint (reviewed & swatched HERE), Lakme 9-to-5 lipstick in shade Beige Post (reviewed HERE), an eyeshadow quartet, and a liquid liner in blue.


I was supposed to do a look using products from the kit. I did a simple everyday look and followed it up with how you could convert that easily into an evening look. Neisha liked the evening look and put that up on her blog.

This is what I did for a simple daytime look - good for office or college.

Bollywood Inspired Look

I saw a few of my friends doing their Bollywood inspired look and really wanted to do a look of my own. L'Oreal is having this sort of contest thing where they have asked people to do a look of their own and share it with them. Now unlike other bloggers I did not get any hamper from L'Oreal to try this out but I did this just for fun. A lot of you had asked for more makeup looks from me in the comments of the first anniversary giveaway. So, serving two purposes here is my first attempt to try a 'look'.

Please be nice and don't make fun of me if you don't like it, pretty please!!!!

Bollywood Inspired Look

The basic concept was inspired by Sonam Kapoor's dark lips and winged liner look that she has sported in some of the L'Oreal campaigns.

Soft Pink Smokey Eyes Simple Tutorial and First FOTD

I finally after almost a year of blogging decided to share a full face - so this is my first ever FOTD, hope you all like it.

Pink Soft Smokey Eyes FOTD with Lotus Herbals MoistPetal Lipstick in Raspberry Punch

The challenge was to use minimum makeup so I did this using only 4 products that I will reveal as I present the steps.

I chose a soft pink smokey eye look - the face is bare without makeup (freshly washed) and on my lips I am wearing Raspberry Punch from Lotus Herbals Moistpetals range which I will be reviewing soon. (Yeah made use of the buy 1 get 1 free offer on HERE)

Now for the soft pink smokey eyes or do I say pink soft smokey eyes? Here are the steps in a picture (followed by text below)

Step 1: Start with clean eyes (if they are dry moisturize them with a non greasy eye cream - or use aloe vera - mine are bare)

Step 2: Use any pink eye shadow, I chose a coral pink which is actually a blush - the Bourjois Little Pot Blush in Rose Eclat (reviewed HERE) and cover the entire lid - add more colour on the lid and just one gentle swipe on the brow bone. If your pink is darker then skip the brow bone area. You can do this step using your finger, the brush present in the blush or use an eye shadow brush. I did mine using an eye shadow brush from E.L.F.

Step 3. Using a black eye liner (or kajal pencil) draw a thick line on on outer corner of the upper eye lid tapering it off as you go near the inner corner of the eye. I have used Maybelline Colossal Kajal (reviewed HERE)

Step 4. Using the same liner tightline your eyes (as shown in the image)

Step 5. Using the eye shadow brush smudge the black line starting from the outer corner moving towards the inner corner. When you smudging the outer corner smudge into the crease (only on the outer corner)

Step 6. Repeat step 3 but draw a thinner line than before and take it all the way towards the inner corner of the eye.

That is it. And here is a round up of all the products used on my face in the FOTD
1. Bourjois Paris Blush - Rose Eclat (used on my cheeks and eyes)
2. Maybelline Colossal Kajal (used as liner)
3. Eye Shadow brush (E.L.F.)
4. Lotus Herbals Moistpetals Lipstick - Raspberry Punch

So friends, what do you think about my FOTD and this tutorial? Do leave your comments - if you like it I will try and do more FOTDs in future!
