PLAY By Sephora

Play! By Sephora

I am back with the Play by Sephora March box. This month theme is "the perfection collection". As usual it came with six products inside. I am very happy to get some of the things inside. It is a good one.

1) Fresh Soy Cleanser: Seems like a great product for dry skin like mine.

 2) Sephora The perfectionist airbrush sponge: Haven't tried any other sponges than BeautyBlender. I am looking forward to use it.

3) Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield: I did tried one sample before. With the sample size it is really hard to tell if you like it or not. But i don't even think it made any wow difference during my usage.

4) Smashbox photofinish primer oil: I didn't liked the primer water they have. I am excited to try this. My skin is super dry. Anything with oil, i am on it. Love hydrating stuffs and it says it will blur fine lines as well. So it is a good one to test on my laugh lines.

5) KatVonD tatoo liner in Tropper: Love this stuff. 

6) Replica Beach walk: They always throw a sample in every box. Those are good to try at first.

This is all i got on my March box. If you were wondering what i got on my Feb box i will insert all products below. It was a good box too. Both the lipsticks i got, i love it so much.
Bare minerals is so hydrating and
 Makeupforever lipstick is a beautiful everyday nude.
 Tarte mascara is one of my fvorites and always stock these up when Ulta runs their 21 days of beauty steals.
 Lancome one is their eyeliner (haven,t tried it yet).
Bumble and bumble dry shampoo, style extender and volume in a pinch.( haven't tried it yet).

Let me know if you get a chance to enjoy these boxes. Sephora is trying to make is more available in different locations. Hopefully you will be able to get one soon.

See you soon

Clinique Happy Heart:

Another beautiful scent i love to wear this time of the year is Happy Heart by Clinique. This is one of the softest smelling scents among all in my collection. It is very long lasting. Very appropriate for formal events and everyday work. Although i wear this anytime of the year. I am almost running out of it. One of the perfumes that i don't want to be out of it.

It's not been that long that i got this bottle. I fell in love immediately after trying the itty bitty sample you get from Sephora. Then i bought the holiday collection duos. After i am done with that i finally decided to get a big one. It is one of those scent that makes me feel i am a grown up when i spray and i feel classy. Love love love it.

Dior Blooming Boutique:

This one is recommended by my friend recently. By looking at the bottle i knew that i am going to love it. It has foral scent that is on the softer side. If you are someone who likes the mild scent then go for it and also the happy heart i mentioned above.

Givenchy Very Irresistible:

Probably one of the strongest smelling one in my collection. The thing i like about it is that the strong scent fades away after 30 mins or so.

Notes: Centifolia Rose, Peony Rose, Fantasia Rose, Passion Rose, Emotion Rose, Verbena Leaf, Star Anise

Bite Beauty - theamousebouche

Hi there, as many of you know that influenster send different kinds of product for review every few months. Last month i got lucky and got the Bite Beauty #theamousebouche voxbox. I screamed and jumped up and down with excitment when i got this box.
Bite beauty is one of my favorite brand out there. This is close to my heart because it is made up of all natural ingredients. It smells yummy and taste yummy as well. More citrus flavor which i love. These are on of the most creamiest lipstick in the market and are very pigmented. One swipe is all you need. It nourishes your lips like no other. It wore me for for about 5 hours then i saw bit of fading, which is a very good time for creamy lipstick. They have tons of shades to choose from. All in all, i totally recommend this amuse bouche line. If you are still in fence then at least try when you go to Sephora next time.
Enjoy some of the closeups and swatches below:

Three shades i received are Gazapao, Beetroot and Pepper.

Beetroot- described as plum-berry color

Gazhpacho- described as darker coral berry

Pepper- described as dusty rose

Gazhpacho, Beetroot, Pepper

Thank you Influenster and Bite beauty for gifting me these amazing product for testing purpose.

Kylie Jenner Lip kit 22 Review

Hi there,
I did not wanted to fall for the whole Kylie Jenner's cosmetic line until they lunched shade 22. I was looking for burnt orange shade for a while. I had few options like harvest from Blackmoon Cosmetics and mac's chili lipstick. I obviously chose 22 by Kylie to test the formula and provide my thoughts to you all.

Pictured above is the packaging and product by itself. It comes with a liquid lipstick and matching lip liner. I really like the presentation in the box. Outside perimeter of the box shows the color of lipstick inside. Below are the closeup shots of products.

 I have worn this only once. while applying the product, it went smooth and there is no need to dip more than one to cover your lips. I wanted to see how it look when layered, it came out little bit darker than the first application. I wore this for about 8-9 hours. I am very impressed with it. It was looking flawless by the end of the day as well. I ate my lunch and snacks as usual. Very little bit from the inner rim of my lips were worn off but that is unnoticeable. I wiped it out with makeup remover wipes and had no trouble of color being all around my mouth when i wipe. Below are the swatches on my hand and lips. Its very true to color.

Final thoughts: I am really impressed with formula. As all liquid lipsticks these are dry as well. Putting lip balm underneath makes it more comfortable. It is transfer proof. The only downside is, with all the liquid lipstick i don't apply lip liners so it would be nice if we were able to buy lipstick only. That would bring price a bit down as well. For me at least it applies. I would have bought other shades if they had the option to buy only lipsticks.

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts? Would love to hear from you all.

See you soon

Favorites from Pixi Beauty Line

Hi my loves,
For last few months i have been receiving  Pixi Beauty PR packages. As i have tried them for enough time to let you know which one is my favorite and which one is not so favorite in my opinion. So let's start with one of my top favorites.

Their skin care line is one of my favorites to try always. Their ingredients are always of top quality.

Glow Mud Mask: I like to apply these when my face looks dull and dry, it instantly gives brighter/glowing look to the skin.

Glow Mud Cleanser: This one is not my favorite when i have full face of makeup but i like these to use on my no makeup days and in the mornings. 

These both Mud mask and Cleanser are very comparable to super popular and expensive Glam Glow. I like these even better than Glam Glow because these won't dry out my face after i am done washing my face. Very effective for dry/combo skin tones.

Hydrating Milky Mist: First of all, it smells so good. It has hyaluronic acid that helps to plump skin for younger looking appearances. I use as a moisturizer before apply any other creams or makeup. I don't like to use to set my makeup and it's not intended for that as well. 

Nourishing Lip Polish: This lip polish is a very different type than we see. It has unique applicator (it has bristles as you can see in the picture) which helps to exfoliate your lips, it doesn't hurt at all, in fact it is really soothing. The product by itself has very fine bids that you feel when you rub your lips together. If that bothers you then you may not enjoy it.

These are my top skin care item and i will continue to buy after i ran out as well.

Endless Silky Eye Pen: It is great to do smokey eye look, very easy to smudge and sets beautifully. It is a great product to make a base for a smokey eye look as well.

Book of Beauty: This is a great product to throw in your bag for touch ups and also if you are in mini vacation, you don't want to carry tons of stuffs. For summer days when you don't want to wear heavy makeup, for moms who don't have time to spend much time doing their makeup. If you have nothing to cover up then this only does your whole face, if you need cover then one BB cream or foundation and this palette is perfect to create a full look. It has highlight, blush, contour and great stubble shimmer shades for eyes and you can also fill up your brows with the darker shade. This is a very handy product on the go. Even if you are just starting with makeup, you can never go wrong with it. The only downside is if you are deep skin tone, the contour shade and blush shade is too light for you.

 Mesmerizing Mineral Palette:
These are great looking palettes. There are total of 8 different palettes. Out of Eight i have tried two.

Left: Amethyst Aura

Right: Aquamarine Dream

Out of these two, Aquamarine Dream is my favorite, it is more pigmented than the other one. Amethyst Aura seems to be chalky.

There you have all of my favorites from this line found at target and www.pixibeautycom

See you soon

What's in my Mac Palette

Hi loves, as most of you already know that Mac cosmetics reduced the price of refillable pan eye shadows from $10 to $6. This is shocking to me and many of you as well but it is all good for us makeup junkies right?

Many people ask me on my Instagram to list all the names of it so its a great time to share what's in my mac palette.

These are the 15 shadows i have collected over the years, and you can buy the empty palette at maccosmetics.com  for $10. Cheaper than the Zpalettes and looks classy in my opinion.

First Row L-R ( Brule, Kid, Ricepaper, Nylon, Soft brown)

Second Row L-R ( Saddle, brown script, naked lunch, all that glitters, honey lust)

Third Row L-R ( Sable, Star Violet, Red Brick, DA Bling, Sketch)

I want to pick some more, may be four so that i can keep on my empty small palette that fits four shadows. Thinking of getting  woodwinked, coppering, Goldmine and smut. Let me know your picks so that i can do more retail therapy :)

See you soon

Dramatic eye look

Hi there, while i was doing my makeup a while back i wanted to do a soft look using some glitters and everything was ok until my eyeliner started playing and my soft look became bolder. So its ok if you can't do your winged eyeliner right. It happens all the time.

Brows- Anastasia beverlyhills Dipbrow pomade in dark brown.

Eyes Details- 

-All shadows from Stardust pallete created by Vegas_nay with Toofaced cosmetics.

- selfie on my browbone, millennial and girls night on my crease

- Pink pearl on my lid

- Glitters added using urbandecay cosmetics glitter liner in gunmetal

- Nyc liquid eyeliner in black.

-Hudabeauty lashes in Sasha #11

I added Milani cosmetics liquid like eyeliner pencil in black on my waterline and smudged with brown and black from the same palette.

Then added loreal telescopic mascara on my lower  lashes.

How do you like my soft glam look turned out dramatic? Leave me your feedback.
