Cherry Crush Twilight Collection Lipstick-Bella




Stef  From cherrycrushshop was kind enough to send me her vegan lipstick to review.
i am a lipstick/lipgloss fan,(Glossicious?? duh!!)
But i haven't found my signature lipstick yet, i am happy to announce today that cherrycrush's Bella could be close my favorite and who knows  win the title of signature lipstick soon.
Stef send me One of her holiday collection  lipstick Bella , which was inspired by all things Gothic, romantic, mysterious
It came with this real cute pink pouch, which i love , Dont we all love these small little personal touches?


Packaging : It comes in classic black and golden.lipstick case, very elegant and sturdy.Although it could be little better.

What it can do for you: Nature Deluxe lipstick contains jojoba oil, cocoa butter and grape seed oil to nourish and moisturize, and Vitamin E to protect the lips.


Color: Bella is a complex and mysterious color - I would describe it as a light garnet color infused with 24K microglitter. Depending on the light, it flashes maroon or gold - really gorgeous and festive!
Its a gorgeous Colour, looks pretty dark in the pics but its quite sheer and build able.
Its has a light texture once applied on lips, i never felt for a moment that i have lipstick on my lips, i liked this feeling. I was concerned if it would dry up my lips but , i didn't. i was surprised as its quite moisturizing may Castor oil cocoa seed butter
and so many other great ingredients are reason for that.I love the texture.It really glides on the lips so easily.


(2 coats applied in the picture above)
It comes in many sumptuous shades like vampire's kiss, moonlight,couture red and many more

Rimmel London’s Lash Maxxx mascara-Review

Rimmel London’s Lash Maxxx mascara

websites says :

3 x Lash Multiplying effect mascara with breakthough zero clump applicator. Precision wand captures and coats every lash. For a feathery, flirty lash look. Blow them away!



 

(Google Image)


Its available in two colors
. black and brown




Rimmel London’s Lash Maxxx mascara great because the little comb helps you really sculpt your eyelashes how you want them, But doesn't give drama to eyes, so if you are looking for natural , some how thick ,separated lashes, This mascara might suit your taste.
I reach for this mascara on "natural days", but for more drama, I will still go with my bourjois volume clubbing mascara.

In the picture below , i gave my lashes multiple coats , lets 4-5 , and separated them , before and after lashed both are curled using ordinary rubbery cheap curler.Thats the only one i own :(

I loved the this mascara ,because it gave my such sleepy eye(lash) look, they weren't to obvious in real, but look how adorable they look in the pictures below.
how i use this::  easiest way to apply it is to wipe the flat, solid edge of the wand across my lashes to add the mascara onto them.  Then I use the comb with the closely spaced teeth separate my lashes and distribute the mascara.  The result is perfectly coated and separated lashes without clumps or lashes that are stuck together. 







It also works great on my tiny lower lashes.( i am not using any in the pic) As for the thickening factor? Well let’s just say this  it lengthens more than it thickens as you can see above, hardly got any thickness.little brush doesn't dispense enough product to create knock-out lashes.
The packaging is adorable, both super feminine and high fashion at once 


who can resist the hot pink + black packaging – that is just way too sexy!?? Isnt it?

would you buy this mascara?

Coastal Scents Italian Badger Angle Blush Brush-Review




( Coastal scents website image)

I am not easily impressed by blush brushes , But this brush knocked me out on my first application ,the mahogany handle and two-tone bristles, it looks so expensive and beautiful.
I like to use this applying blush , bronzer and contouring.
This brush is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture, but Oh My It works wonders .
This brush is absolutely soft and applies color so beautifully! It offers more control than a regular blush brush,I use this usually for contouring and I love that its dense enough to pick up color wonderfully.blends my contour powder very good, It works great for jaw line and cheek bone.
The bristles are so soft and fluffy that it's easy to blend the contour color out. i usually start with a little and build up as i go along .It has a small brush head, this one gives me great control over it,It's shaped to handle the curves and hollows of our faces well
.it hasn't shed, even after i washed it twice so far, it didn't lose it shape either.

i have read where they say  Italian Badger Angle Blush Brush is a great dupe for MAC 168, If you have tried MAC 168 and this brush  , what would you say?? 


 Its on sale right now on coastal scents website , so Its a good time to pick up one for yourself

 Retail Price: $14.99
Our Price: $6.99

You Save $8.00!

Okay, okay, so maybe i am not about to start chanting “Italian Badger Angle Blush Brush !! Italian Badger Angle Blush Brush !” But after you try this brush you may not be able to live without it. If you're looking for a nice affordable blush/contour/bronzer brush, this is the one!

Have you tried Italian Badger Angle Blush Brush from coastal scents?? If no then What is your favorite Angled Blush Brush?

What do  you think about Rich Volume Mascara??

Soap & Glory Glow Lotion:Glow with 50s retro glitz

I love glitz and glamour! I love glossy, shiny hair and a shimmer on my skin and more than that I adore Soap & glory products in general.Soap & Glory formulas are not tested on animals


 


It's fabulous! As you would expect from any Soap & Glory product.  It appears a little bit wet look on the skin and is very hydrating but not one bit greasy and a little goes a long way. It doesn't go on clumpy as it isn't a thick cream but a fairly thinnish lotion and it blends on to the skin like a dream!

I have some dry patches of skin and again this doesn't 'collect' on to that but actually smooths it out and I have better skin in general using it! It really does highlight for hours and no transfer on to clothes or people it's just really easy to use.

So now we've established that it does as it promises and with ease what about the scent? Well again another reason to love Soap & Glory! They say the fragrance is .... !mmm. It is a musky, soft with a sweet cupcake smell.It smells divine ... so girly and feminine, I love it! it has a fresh, strong smell.  But again  I absolutely love the smell of the entire Soap and Glory line... its kind of smell that I just can't put my finger on.if you don't like strong smell , I must warn you this producst might give you a headach, beacause this baby got strong smell..
The glow is subtle, and looks great on the legs, shoulders, pretty much anywhere you would like to glow

 How i Use It : Massage it into my shoulders and on the bend of my neck for a hypnotic, fragranced, sexy hint of golden glamour



 The packing is the first thing that jumps out at you, its retro call and is a shout out to the 195os.There is a great description on the front clear yet fun!

My brother Got it from Boots for me during his trip to U.k december 2009 along with few other soap & glory products including sexy puker .


I am feeling so grumpy and lazy today , so didn't take pictures  / swatch . i will update the swatch later today :)



Have you tried soap and glory Yet?? Do you have any favorite body highlighter??

Bourjois Volume Clubbing Mascara:Review


Bourjois Paris makes some sincerely great mascaras and I have quite a few on my makeup list that I absolutely Plan to purchase. But i have one mascara i cant stop using , i have few other but bourjois volume clubbing mascara has permanent place in my makeup bag
  
I absolutely LOVE this mascara,
I personally find that the effect this mascara gives to my lashes is similar to YSL Faux Effet Cils.The good thing about this mascara is the intensity of the colour.You want black, you wil get BLACK.

Volume to get you on the guest list!
Extreme Volume, Ultra resistance
Create your own V.I.P look for extremely striking eyes all night long!
Volume Clubbing Mascara gives you extreme volume, perfect for nights out.
Its patented double-sided brush with its high volume of supple bristles ensures even coverage on the lashes.

Its extremely resistant formula is enriched with vinyl for a look that won’t budge all night!
100% tear and sweat proof.
Tested and loved by clubbers! 


( i applied it and took pic like in 5 mins , didnt have time to seperate them and curl or pamper)

                         The wand does have a super thick brush on the end which distributes loads of mascara, so  care does need to be taken with application.Be sure to remove excess mascara from wand before applying or it will cause a big mess. I don't care much for the thick 'clumpyness'. I love it for the  sweatproof, waterproof, lifeproof formula 

This mascara is good for thickening and darkening my lashes
It does take a little getting used to in the application. You have to sort of dip your lashes in the well and then rotate the brush to comb the mascara through. It's very waterproof but I can take it off easily with any oily eyemakeup remover.
Best way to apply this mascara is to use the flat side to get all the yummy inky blackness onto your lashes, then use the brushy parts to comb through the lashes about a billion times until you're left with perfectly defined, dark lashes. 
I love this mascara. It gives you the closest thing to false lashes that you can get from mascara, in my opinion. The trick is to remember that this is not a mascara that you can just swipe on the go. You have to apply it very carefully, and then use your lash comb quickly afterward because it does go on very thick. But once you get the hang of it, your lashes will look very dramatic.    

What made me buy this mascara??
see for yourself


This is the European Bourjois commercial, in English,Volume Clubbing.
It's another super-cute Ad. This time it's for the newest mascara from Bourjois..
