Maybelline ColorShow Glitter Mania All That Glitters : Review & NOTD

Hi Everyone,

As usual i keep going MIA for a while..I've been meaning to post this review since  a long time. A couple of months back Maybelline launched the Glitter Mania nail paints in India. I resisted picking them up for quite some time... The moment i tried these nail paints i was smitten by this range. Today i am going to review that shade All That Glitters.

Price & Quantity:

My Experience:

Maybelline Color Show Glitter polishes comes in a sleek cylindrical clear bottle with a black screw on cap. The shade name is mentioned on the cap. It comes with a very good quality brush.  I'm loving the look of the Glitter Mania Nail Paints. The texture of the nail color is neither runny nor too thick. It applies very evenly and smoothly onto the nails. It dries pretty fast and You need just two coats to get an opaque finish.

The shade All That Glitters is a lovely yellow gold shade with silver hexes and micro shimmer. These nail polishes give a slightly sand like texture to the nails. It's a beautiful shade and will never look OTT. It adds a glamour quotient to your look. A must have shade from this range. This is perfect for the upcoming Shaadi Season. I can definitely see myself using this shade a lot in the upcoming months.

This stays on my nails for a good 5 days without any sort of chipping. Only con of this nail polish is that removing it would be a task. This applies to all glitter polishes. But now that issue is solved for me... I've got any amazing Nail Polish remover from Colorbar with which i can remove this glitter polish within seconds... shall review that soon

Pros:

1. Simple and compact packaging
2. Good quality brush
3. Dries very fast
4. Gives a sand like texture to the nails
5. Beautiful yellowgold shade with shimmer and glitter particles
6. Stays on for 5 days without chipping
7. Adds a glamour quotient to your looks

Cons:

1. Difficult to take off 

Final Views: 

Maybelline is one of my favourite brands and I'm highly impressed by this range as well... If you haven't tried these out as yet please go and buy one shade... its impossible to get textured/ glitter nail polishes at this price. Plus, All That Glitters is such a pretty shade.... Perfect for the wedding season!

Maybelline ColorShow Glitter Mania Paparazzi Purple : Review & NOTD

Hi Everyone,

Once again i have been MIA for a longtime. I think i should just stop writing this on my posts now! Lol...Anyway... I've been meaning to post this review since  a long time. A couple of months back Maybelline launched the Glitter Mania nail paints in India. I resisted picking them up for quite some time... Then i thought let's try at least one shade... there's no harm plus it doesn't even cost a bomb like other glitter polishes. So i went ahead and bought the shade Paparazzi Purple. Oh boy,after using this shade i was completely smitten by range. Slowly and steadily i have picked up almost all the shades :P

Maybelline ColorShow Denim Dash : Review & NOTD

Hi Girls,

Its friday and i’m back with another nail paint review. It’s a shade from the Maybelline Color Show Range! As i ahd said earlier that everyone has loved this range and I love it too… Today I will review a beautiful shade Denim Dash. I have picked up a couple of more shades and one from the glitter mania range as well, will review them soon. Hope you enjoy this post!

Maybelline Claims: Stay right on trend from your tips to toes with new Maybelline Color Show. Our gel based formula with color popping pigments, comes in 40 bold, super stylish shades that look great on nails. So go on, mix, match and make the most of color.

Price & Quantity:
Rs.75 for 6ml

My Take on the product:
I love the packaging : simple and compact. The shade is a lovely matte blue with some micro blue shimmers in it. Its again a unique colour and looks exactly like the shade of denim so well it has an apt name!

The formula and consistency is really good. It applies almost opaque in one coat but two coats give you the proper color to your nails. Its dries into a matte finish pretty fast and im really loving the way the shimmer adds more definition to this shade.

Its lasts for 4 days without any chipping if you dont use a top coat. With a top coat it will definitely last longer but then it doesnt look matte. So i avoid the top coat!

i'm simply in love with this shade. If you are looking for a vibrant blue nail paint... Definitely give this a try... amazing quality by maybelline!

NYX Haul!!!!

 Hello People!

Like I mentioned in my last post that Fridays would be dedicated to Nail Paints Reviews and nail care,etc. In a similar way Sundays are going to be dedicated to haul posts and any other random ramblings that i have to share with you lovely people!

Today im sharing a mini haul that i did from NYX via a friend who ahd gone to the States... I have always read such lovely reviews of their products online especially the lip products and i just couldn't wait to get my hands on them. Finding NYX is India is easy... Its available online and in stores like Beauty Centre in Mumbai. Only problem is that the shade that you might be wanting isn't available and they don't seem to restock the items soon. Also, the products are slightly pricey... not that they will burn a whole in your pocket but im sure you understand the feeling... In USA its available for $6 and its priced in India at Rs.750... u get the picture right!

Well i was ready to pay the price but whatever i wanted was not available and i was so sad. My childhood friend was in US for a while and it never struck me that i could ask her to get me some stuff! So like right at the end of her trip i texted her if she could get me some stuff from NYX. Well she had no clue about makeup but i sent her my list and she managed to get 4 items out of the 6 i asked her for! So sweet na...

The four products that i got from NYX are:

1. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Antwerp ($5.99/ Rs.750)
2. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - San Paulo ($5.99/ Rs.750)
3. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Addis Ababa ($5.99/ Rs.750)
4. NYX Soft Matte Lipstick - Chloe ($3.99/ Rs.395)

Im so in love with these lip products from NYX. These have such rich pigmentation and long lasting. They are pretty moisturising as well!

Have you tried any products from NYX! Do share your opinions/views about them.
Hope you enjoyed this post...

Avon Inky Blue Matte Nail Polish : Review & NOTD

Hi Girls,

Hope you have been good... I've missed blogging a lot. So I'm back today with a review of a  matte nail polish from Avon in the shade Inky Blue. The post is going to be short. I don't want to bore you with unnecessary details. Read on! 

Price & Quantity: Rs.135 for 8 ml

But you can easily get it on discount as Avon keeps having amazing offers...

My views:

So today in reviewing this unique shade which is a rich ink blue with slight shimmer to it. You can clearly notice in it bottle but it doesn't show up on the nails. I don't really mind that. If you see the pics clearly it looks more purple-ish in the bottle but on the nails it looks like a deep ink blue shade. 

The polish applies slightly streaky if not applied properly. I had a tough time the first time around! The best part about this nail paint is the fact that it dries and settles into a matte finish in a couple of seconds... I'm pretty impressed with that.

One swipe is all you need to get an opaque coat of the shade on your nails. It stayed on my nails for 3 days the first time without chipping and 4 days the second time. That's not so bad given the price tag.

Pros:

1. Unique Ink Blue Shade
2. Dries into a matte finish in a couple of seconds
3. Opaque color  in just one swipe 
4. Stays on for 3 - 4 days without any chipping

Cons:

1. Its a little streaky. I had a lot of issues when i was applying it for the first time.

Overall Verdict: Its a pretty unique shade which settles into a matte finish in a couple of seconds. Lasts for 3- 4 days without any chipping with an even amazing price tag. I think you should definitely try out this range.

I know lately i have been posting a lot of nail paint reviews... so i have finally decided that i will post nail paint reviews on Fridays... will come up with some name for that as well! Hope you liked this review... Do leave your comments below!

Mini Cosmetics Haul

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry i haven't blogged in over 10 days... I really wanted to blog but first there were health reasons and then lately my internet is having serious mood swings! I've been trying to post this particular post since the past 3 days! Anyhow, i'm happy to be back and writing. Hopefully next month i can achieve the 15 posts a month... i also have to keep posts scheduled for you all so i don't miss out on blogging for so long again..

Recently, i shopped a couple of cosmetics. I thought i would share with you... hope you like what i picked :)
Well, i have reduced my shopping a lot but sometimes i just can't resist it... so have a look at what all i picked up!

Firstly, i picked up some stuff from Essence. Essence is a drug store brand with really affordable prices which isn't so common now (you know what i mean). It has pretty nice packaging as well.... i really wanted to try this out while i was studying in Pune, but availability was an issue so now that i'm back in Mumbai i thought i'd try it. I picked up an eye shadow brush and a lipstick. Most of their lipsticks have a frosty finish which i'm not so fond of but i really liked the shade plus its not that expensive so i just picked it up. I got the shade Sparkling Miracle!

I love lip products! so i went ahead and bought some more*grin* I bought a Miss Claire Matte Lipstick in Natural Brown, a VOV Lip Gloss in the shade 003 and Maybelline Lip Polish in the shade Glam 09.

I headed to the NYX counter to pick up either the lip creams or the round lipsticks. But my bad luck i didn't get either *sob sob* So instead i picked up the NYX Long Lip Pencil in the shade Mauve.

Hope you liked this post! In case you want me to review any product first do let me know :)

Do leave your views in the comments i love to read them <3

XOXO
