Revlon Touch and Glow blush in "Pretty Pink"

Price: INR 550

NOTD Revlon 376 Opulent pink

Revlon 376 Opulent Pink

This is a soft ,pretty, elegent pink shade. I had shopped for this online and the swatches i had seen for this shade were nothing like how it really is. The images I have clicked do justice to this neutral but shiny shade well enough.

A Beauty Bloggers Dilemma and NOTD- Revlon 308 Really Rose

Hello ladies!

I am planning to start do a lot of swatches of lipsticks and nail paints this year but one problem always discourages me. And this has also been the reason I have not done swatches before. That is misleading swatches! Please suggest your tips on how to swatch products true to their actual colour. Is there some special kind of lighting or technique that you use? Or is it okay for the swatches to be a bit different, cuz we normally check them before we have to buy them anyway. Any kind of suggestion would be appreciated.

________________________________________________________________

Finally, finallyeeeee, my nails are strong enough that I can groom them. So I present to you, my very first NOTD post.

308 Really Rose is a subtle pink shade with brown undertone.

I had actually forgotten how much I love Revlon’s Nailpaints, until I purchased this one recently. This range costs INR140 and has got a lot of beautiful shades. After buying this shade and loving it, I purchased two more from this range J. If my nails behave this well, you can expect more NOTD’s in future.

P.S. I found this site http://www.goodlife.com/ while looking for a good picture of this shade. The image that is shown here is 100% accurate to the shade . I am quite impressed with how they have shown the shades of other products too. Check it out if you feel like.

In pursuit of the perfect sunscreen + Product Information

Exposure to sun is one of the major factors of skin ageing. Some researchers claim that up to 80 % skin aging is caused by harmful UV rays, and that is mind boggling. The dangers of harmful UV rays range from dark spots, freckles & wrinkles to even skin cancer. It is very important to protect our skin from the sun on day to day basis. Today I am going to tell you guys about some of the sunscreens available in the market, hoping to help you pick the right one for you.

Why do I have so many sunscreens you ask, well I am allergic to most of them. Two of them are almost finished and I had kept the bottles foe this post. :) . If you have often graced my blog with your presence, you must be knowing that I am allergic to SPF more than 15, still sometimes I become adventurous ad end up buying higher SPF sunscreens. I am going to give the sunscreens that do not suit me to my niece tomorrow. I wish I had a relative like me. J

Revlon extra gentle nail enamel remover (Quick Review)

Price: INR 125 for 30ml

What it claims: Specially formulated with calcium plus potassium, the major minerals found in strong nails. Gently removes enamel without acetone.

I am going to keep this quick, cuz u know, it’s a nail polish remover. I think this is the cheapest nail polish remover without acetone. No complains with this one. It takes very little remover to work it, so the bottle is going to last for a long time. The only issue is that it takes a couple of more strokes to completely take off nail paint then it normally does, but I don’t mind it that much. It’s got calcium, potassium so that’s a little bonus for weak nails.

My Rating: 4.5/5

Paisa Vasool: Totally!

Would I re-purchase: Yes

Have you ever used this one? so...what nail paint remover is your fav?

(RIP) Revlon Colour Stay Mineral Foundation- Discontinued

The Revlon colourstay mineral foundation is no more. It had been my friend since December 2009. This was the first mineral foundation I had purchased. Its price was INR 1050. Guess there is no use of telling you how awesome it was. That it had SPF 10, it was great for oily skin, and gave medium –natural kinda coverage. Alas… no use of telling you all this, cuz it has been discontinued!! This is a tribute to you my friend. You are going to be remembered by women with oily skin all over the world.
