Nicka K Microfine Artliner: Review and Swatches

I had just entered my office and a friend asked- what happened, Is everything OK? 

Yup- I said, But Why are you asking this??

You are looking so dull and sad, probably not feeling well?

No, I am all Ok and then I rushed to Washroom to see whats wrong with my face.

I realised that it was my eyes, my bare eyes without liner and kajal ....... 

Immediately I lined up my eyes and came out. Instantly the friend told that we are not in habit of seeing your bare eyes. We love your colour kholed eyes and the way you play with colours.

Is this a common story with you too?? 

Today I will be reviweing one of the current liners I am using frequently and still did not realised that it has not been reviewed on the blog. I am talking about - 

Nicka K Microfine Artliner in Navy Blue. 

Nicka K is one of the popular cosmetic brand from New York , known for its affordable range and Nykaa brought this in India with their extensive range on their shelf.

Faces CC Cream Vs Garnier BB Cream: comparison, review, swatches

Hi Everyone, 

Are you full coverage girl?? or do you prefer just a sheer cover with a dewy shine on face??

For full coverage, obviously a heavy duty foundation is required while for sheer cover a BB/CC cream would be sufficient to give a normal look hiding minor blemishes and pigmentation.

Being a working women, I usually prefer light cover which is moisturising and could give little finished look (thats only possible in the shortest time given to get ready for office)

Just few dots on face, spread, cover...apply khol, liner, define your brows and a lipstick and I am ready to move. 

So today I will be sharing two such Sheer cover formulas which I have been using quite often. 

1. Garnier BB Cream. Price - 67 & 109 INR for 9 & 18 gms respectively (available on all online and retail counters)

2. Faces CC Cream. Price- 399 INR for 35ml (available on all online and retail counters)

LA Girl Pro Conceal: Pure Beige

My first tryst with makeup was when I gave my first stage appearance for my dance show. I still remember when I went to market with my mom (who herself was total naive in makeup knowledge),all what we bought with our little so-called knowledge- blush (earlier called rouge), a lipstick and a foundation. And my first makeup teacher was my dance teacher who taught me what is makeup?

During the years my love for makeup was more of nail paints and Kajals and now, its not just makeup, its all an art of discovering new self. I am trying all possible makeup products which helps me give a clear radiant finish without being heavy. Recently I tried LA Girl Pro Conceal in the shade Pure Beige to conceal the acne spots and blemishes.

Lakme 9to5 Eye color Quartet: Desert Rose

Hi Everyone, 

Lakme is one such brand which has introduced Indian women to international quality and variants of makeup. 20 years back, lakme was the only brand available in India and can say, synonymous to makeup. Still in Indian suburbs, villages- high end makeup for them is Lakme foundation, lipsticks and kajal

For me, it was their nail colors and trying almost all kinds of shades from their collection.

Lakme and me have come a long way, though I am not a pro in makeup but then i love using colors on my eyes. While searching for some festive kind of shades, i came across this- 

Lakme 9to5 Eye color Quartet in Desert Rose. 

I was confused since Faces Glam on Color perfect palette in captivate gave a close competition for the colors were same with comparable quality too. But then I wanted to try the Lakme palette desperately so finally its in my hand. 

A versatile quartet of high intensity powders put together to color, shape, highlight your eyes like never before. 

Price- 550 INR for 7gms. Available on all retail outlets and online too.
