February Favourites

Spring is in the air and festive are to begin!!  Well hello March already!! Who else thinks 2016 is a super sonic year??  With time flying by so fast,  I think in no time we'll be wishing each other a happy new year in no time!  

Enough said about the time.  Keeping up with the tradition of monthly favorites post (being the only post I do regularly), I am here with the February favorites :

1.Essence Cinderella Collection Blush- So This Is Love : 

Yes THIS is Love!!  This deep pink blush is my absolute favorite! With that soft blendable texture and great color pay off, this little beauty is a keeper for sure!

2. MM Makeup Lip gloss - Dahlia:

Its no hidden fact how much I love MM Makeup. This lip gloss is something unlike the formulas I had been using for a while now. This is light weight and doesn't make your lips sticky and tacky. Just for those days when you just want a little color to your lips then this one is for you

3. Jordana Cosmetics Lipstick- Barely Pink:

This one definitely a MLBB shade for me.  A perfect color to pair up with those smoked out intense eyes and link cheeks. A little added sparkle looks absolutely stunning!

4.VS Very Sexy Perfume:

I got this VS miniatures set last month as a birthday gift. Out of the 6 fragrances, this one turned out to be my most loved!  A gentle floral fragrance that lingers on for hours is definitely a favorite now for a very long time.

5.Makeup Revolution The One Blush Stick - Rush:

This presumed dupe for the infamous NARS Orgasm multiple was in my wish list for a long time. Dupe or no dupe this one is a stunning little thing on its own. That rose gold shimmer on peach base is absolutely gorgeous!  Even with no makeup on, I  use this to give that natural glow to my face.

6.Sigma Beauty Loose Shimmer - Mid Summer:

Sigma beauty loose shimmers are fine and super pigmented. No need to layer them up for sure!  I being the one who prefers the natural colors more, sigma loose shimmer in midsummer is my favorite!  You can see me wearing it HERE.

Hope you guys like my picks for this month. If you want reviews for any of the above, do mention in the comments box below

Stay Blessed

Get Glittery & Glamorous with Christine Cosmetics Sparkling Dust-Review, swatch and Looks

Last year has been of glittery bright eyes that can make anyone swoon. People have been searching for the glitters everywhere to achieve that fine glitter fit for their eyes that looks luxurious to wear. If you have been following me on Facebook & instagram, you would know I recently did eye looks using glitters. Since many people asked me, I am reviewing my recent loves Christine Cosmetics loose glitters.

CHRISTINE COSMETICS SPARKLING DUST:

SPARKLING DUST : Iridescence color with multidimensional shine & Pearlescent Effect for Eyes,Cheeks & Hair.

My Experience:

Christine cosmetics has been my favorite local brand for a very long time be it compacts or lipsticks. I was a bit skeptical while getting these loose glitters but now I am glad I did.
These glitters come in small screw open clear plastic pots with a black caps that close securely. Once you open the cap, there is a seal over the opening which you have to tug open and good thing is its resealable if you be gentle with it. This way its super safe to carry around with you.I have dropped the pots a couple of times(clumsy me) and there was no damage to the pots and there was spillage of product even with the seal removed. The opening is small so its easier to control the product you dispense. Here I suggest taking small amounts of product in the cap and then using them according to need. The clear pot makes it easy to see the color without opening the pot (plus they look super cute on the vanity). The pots have the color names on a sticker under it that makes it easier to identify them. The glitter itself is very fine and there are no large chunks in it. I have 2 colors Gold &  White Gold, both translate beautifully to their true colors on the lid. The finely milled glitter reflects light and looks absolutely gorgeours to wear. Like loose glitters it is not self adhesive and when used dry, the under eye fall out is enormous and it tends to fall all the time.

Tips for Application :

Use a wet brush (preferably wet with a setting spray)  to pack the glitters over the lid
When the glitter is still wet apply dry glitter with the help of your fingers and pack to the density you like.
Always use a setting spray after you are done to lock the makeup in place and avoid falling out of glitters.
Don't use lash glue for these glitters, that will require alot of amount of glitter and will be difficult to remove afterwards.
Apply eyeliner after the glitter application, this will give you clean eye liner. Applying eyeliner before with get it all glittery and you have to apply it again.
Let the glitter dry without opening you eyes to much, this will prevent it from early creasing.
