The Maybelline Blushed Nudes Review.

Hey guys! Hope you all are doing well.

In this week’s post, I will be reviewing the Maybelline Blushed Nudes eyeshadow palette.

One of my 2017 resolutions is to improve at eye make up specifically application of eyeshadow. I have seen like a bazillion tutorials but when it comes to eye shadow I personally end up taking a back seat. Last year I started with some neutral matte shades and I was really tempted to purchase the Maybelline Blushed Nudes when it was launched. Finally on Christmas my most adorable sister gifted it to me. I have worn it a couple of times and will be reviewing based on my experience.

Price

The Maybelline Blushed Nudes retails for Rs.900.

Packaging

The Maybelline Blushed Nudes is a rose gold palette with 12 eyeshadows out of which 2 are matte shades and 10 are shimmery shades.On the bottom of the palette, the shades are divided into quads (4 shades), trios (3 shades)  and duos (2 shades) along with a brief instruction on how and where to apply them.

The Maybelline Blushed Nudes also includes an applicator with an eyeshadow applicator sponge on one side and a tiny flat eyeshadow brush on the other. The palette does not include a mirror.

Texture

The Maybelline Blushed Nudes is moderately pigmented. The texture of all the shades differ from one another. The shimmery shades apply smoothly. The matte shades go on a little chalky. All the shades can be easily layered over each other to achieve better colour intensity.

Fragrance

The Maybelline Blushed Nudes does not have any fragrance.

Longevity

With some setting spray, the eyeshadows last for 5-6 hours with the same colour vibrancy. The colour may lose its intensity but the shimmer stays on for 8-9 hours.

Pros

Travel friendly.

Beginner friendly.

Easy to blend.

Affordable.

The instructions on the bottom are really helpful.

Cons

Some of the shades are similar to another.

Only 2 matte shades.

The pigmentation of the matte shades is chalky.

The applicator is no good.

My Verdict

Even though this palette has quite a few flaws, it works well for me since I am not an expert at eye make up but if you are looking to create some bold and colourful looks, you should probably this one a miss. 

That is all for this post. I hope you found it useful. If you have any suggestions or comments, please leave it down in a comment.

Colorbar Precision Waterproof Eyeliner Review

Hi guys.Hope you all doing well.

          In this week’s blogpost, I will be reviewing the Colorbar Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner.

 I am someone who has always loved using the stick liners or markers and was never a big fan of liquid liners. I have used liquid liners in the past but I wasn't impressed by any of them particularly. However, I wanted a matte liquid liner and I came across this Colorbar liquid liner about a month back. Since then I have only been using this product and the results have been great.

So without any further ado lets get into the review.

Price

Rs. 350 for 2.5ml 

Packaging

The liquid liner is packed in a silver box, which has the name and details mentioned. 

The liquid liner is packed in a black bottle with a long silver cap.

It is really small and light weight, making it easy for you to carry in your bag. 

It has a felt tip applicator which works really well for me, to apply a thin liner or even while making a wing.

Colour

 The Colorbar Liquid Liner is available only in black in a matte finish.

Claims

The Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner is long-lasting and does not smudge, crack, flake or peel. With its high definition flexible felt tip applicator, one stroke is enough to define a fine or thick line. Fast drying, Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner is suitable for sensitive eyes and those who wear contact lenses too.

Longevity

This liquid eyeliner lasts for a really long time. It lasts for about 10 hours easily. Towards the end of the day it does tend to get a little dull. However it stays throughout the day without peelings or smudging.It dries matte, almost immediately after the application and it is completely waterproof and smudge proof.

Pros

Waterproof and smudge proof

long lasting and dries immediately

The felt tip works well 

Does not irritate the eyes

Trave friendly

Cons

The quantity is a little less.

Felt tip may not be suitable for everyone .

Verdict

This has become one of my favourite liners within no time. Since I have started using this liquid liner, I haven’t gone back to any of the stick liners. This is a really good choice if you’re looking for a matte liquid liner, which is waterproof and long lasting. All those who are confident with applying liquid liners with a felt tip, you should definitely consider this for your next buy. If you are not very sturdy or have shaky hands, you could always stick to the felt stick liner. 

This is definitely one of my favourites and something I highly recommend.  

That’s all for this post. I hope this review was helpful. We shall be back with a blogpost next week.
