Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner In 100% Black Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewing  Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner in 100% Black. I bought this eyeliner from Eid sale. If you're new in eyeliner than I must say its great for you. It is good for drawing a thick or thin lines with a ease.


My Experience:
I bought this eyeliner a couple of weeks ago from Eid sale and I'm totally in love with it. I love its intensity of the color and it gives me full control while applying my eyeliner. I can make thin and thick flicks with this eyeliner because of its sharp pointed nib and it stays longer than i imagine.

Whenever I dip the brush inside the bottle I get the exact right amount . It's a perfect dark black color which every girl is looking for.

The only thing which I don't like about this is it is not a waterproof formula, so ladies don't try to rub your eyes as it would smudge easily.

Application:
Apply a eyeshadow base first so your eyeliner doesn't fade and smudge and stays all day long.

Create the small winged line with Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner

Thumbs Up:

  • Light weight
  • Economical
  • Comes with a pointed sharp nib

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing "Shadow Insurance" by Too Faced . Its the first time that I have tried this primer than my usually Urban Decay Primer Potion and it has turned out to be a good find. I bought this primer after reading its catalog and I thought to give it a try from their website; www.toofaced.com, it also features as one of their best sellers. Also check out their other product details which could be added to your collection and experiment, I am sure you will like it.

Lets start the review of the Shadow Insurance


My Experience:

I really like the result of this primer its as good as UDPP's if you really have to compare. It came in a sleek metallic finish squeeze tube. I can get the product easily from tube and have full control so my primer does not waste at all. A small amount of products goes in a long way. I love how it makes my eyeshadow vibrant and it stays all day long with no creasing and fading.

Application:

Squeeze a small amount from the tube and apply it on your entire eyelid with your clean finger. The key is to wait for 10sec and then apply your eyeshadow, it will help you to blend your eyeshadow easily (you can see the diff in the swatches below).



Swatches:
                                                        you can see the difference here 

Thumbs Up:
  • Makes eyeshadow vibrant
  • Protects from creasing
  • Long lasting effect
  • 1 tube goes in a long way
  • Comes in a squeeze tube
Thumbs Down:
  • Pricey
Quantity:
11g e 0.35 oz

Price:
Around Qr99 ( a bit cheaper than UDPP)

Texture:
Runny/Light Weight

My Rating:
5/5

Availability:
Sephora Stores Worldwide

Would I Repurchase It ?
yesssssss!

M.A.C Pink Plaid Lipstick Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewing "M.A.C Pink plaid Lipstick Matte". Its a gift from my beloved hubby.
I love mac lipsticks,  mostly matte. The name of this lipstick is pink plaid dirty blue. It comes in a standard M.A.C lipstick case.




My Experience:
Its a gorgeous dirty pink blue color. I bought this color because I don't have any color like this . At first I was a bit afraid but it looks great. I got alot of compliments wearing this. It suits any time of the day, and it add a glamorous feel on every skin tone. Whenever I wear this I make sure that my eye makeup is light. It lasts for 5 to 6 hours which is pretty good for a matte lipstick. Its pigmentation is great just one sweep is good enough.

Application:
Use a lip balm before applying this product and then apply on your lips directly or with the help of a lip brush.


Swatches:


Thumbs Up:
  • Last for 6 hours
  • Highly Pigmented
  • Great for day or night time
  • Nice packaging

Thumbs Down:
  • Pricey
  • Dry a lil bit

Quantity:

She is very adorable and looks pretty. I'm inspired by her natural looks and her synthetic style. I came across alot of pictures of her on google & instagram. You will notice that she wears less makeup on her eyes and always use synthetic eyelashes for that flirty look.



Products Used For Face:

  • False eyelashes

I use demi lashes & applied it at the corners for that flirty effect


Products Used For Lips:
  • Rimmel Color Show off lipstick in 020 Shake up Pink.
  • Nyx soft mate lip cream in "Antwerp"
Step wise Instructions:
  • Prime your eyes and sweep some champagne shimmer color virgin on your entire lid.
  • Now take a dark brown color from naked palette and apply on crease and blend it well
  • Then I use Hustle from my Ud Naked 1 palette and apply it on my outer v.
  • I again use virgin and apply it to my inner and lower lash line & also apply underneath my brow bone.
  • Tide line your eye with a black pencil eyeliner.
  •  Use a black eyeliner and slightly winged it out
  •  Apply false eyelashes and coat them with some mascara.
  • Apply bronzer on your cheek bones, temples and jawline.
  • Now sweep a pink blush on your cheeks for that baby look.
  • use a highlighter and apply on the bridge of your nose, cheek bones, chin and upper lip area.
  • Finally apply a mauve color lipstick on your lips & you're done.

Its a inspired look I'm not trying to look like her at all & If you like this look than let me know with your comments :)

Marks & Spencer Blusher Limited Collection In Pink Mix Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today's post is for "M&S Blusher Limited Collection in Pink Mix". Its my first time with M&S and I bought this blusher from their valentine limited edition.


My Experience:
I totally love it!!!! it smells like roses and it comes in a cardboard packaging which is so adorable. When i first saw I couldn't take my eye away from those little raised hearts. The pigmentation is very nice. It has a lil bit shimmer which leaves a subtle glow. If you are looking for a perfect pink blush than  this is the one.

There are three color of hearts printed inside the blusher, pink, peach and mauve. There is only one thing that I don't like about this product is that you can not apply any color separately. For me it is the perfect barbie pink color. This is a great color to wear on a bright sunny day :)

Application:
Apply your foundation, BB cream or primer first to make your blush long lasting and then sweep your blush on your cheeks with the help of your blush brush.


                                     How adorable are these lil hearts on it   

Swatches:

Thumbs Up:
  • Lasts for 6 hours without touch ups
  • Pigmented
  • Buildable
  • Cute packaging
  • Economical
Thumbs Down:
  • Its difficult to apply different blush shades separately

Quantity:
9g

Price:
Qr30

Texture:
Smooth

My Rating:
4/5

Availability:
Marks and Spencer stores worldwide

Would I Repurchase It?
yeah!

Have you ever tried any M&S products? If yes than let me know with your comments.

Thanks
