5 Products Worth Splurging This Festive Season.

Hi guys! Hope you all are doing good.

The festive season is coming soon and I love this time of the year. It is just an excuse to pamper yourself and your loved ones.There are certain products that all of us have an eye on for a while and this season is the best rationalization we come up with to treat ourselves.

I have come up with a list of 5 items that are worth the splurge.

The NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Pallete retails for Rs.2000. This is a highly versatile pallete and has it 8 shades. It has 4 contour shades with which you can play around and create a contour of the intensity of your choice. You can also use these shades to give some depth to your eyes or just define your crease. It has 2 highlighting shades, similar in shade but different in intensity. It also has a setting powder and a banana powder, which works amazingly to set the under eye area. Even though this product is a little steep for a drugstore product, it is totally worth it and has been compared to some pricey high end palletes.

The Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate for Rs.3800 for 30ml.This product is magic in a bottle.It works for every skin type in every weather. It is a serum that repairs your skin and makes it glow.It has a neutral fragrance and the application is totally easy. You can check out our review on The Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

Benefit’s Porefessional Primer retails for Rs.2860 for 22ml. If you are having a good skin day, this product is all you need. Just a pea size amount of this product is more than enough to blur all your imperfections. The primer sets the base for your entire make up. Even when you have 10 layers of different products on your face, this primer ensures that your face does not look caked up. 

MAC Lipsticks retail for Rs.1450. Ever since I was a little girl, I completely adored MAC lipsticks. MAC has a beautiful range of shades with amazing formulation. They have some classic shades that are must haves. Ruby Woo is classic red shade with blue undertones that can amp up a simple outfit.Velvet Teddy is a My Lips But Better shade that was made popular by Kylie Jenner way before her liquid lipsticks hit the market. However I find it a little pale for my skintone and prefer to use Mehr which has a slight pink tone to it. Snob is another classic shade which falls in between Velvet Teddy and Mehr.

The Make Up Forever 5 Camouflage Cream Palette retails for Rs.3500. It includes 5 cream concealers with 3 colour correctors in salmon, lavender and mint green. Most of us have certain discoloured patches on our face that may or may not be permanent. This palette gives you a range of concealers that you can use to cover up any blemishes.
