Nail Trend Nail Polish in "Ruby Red"!!

    Hey everyone! I hope your weekend's going pretty good..

    Today after many days I am doing a NOTD post..with a polish I got recently. It a deep blood red color and yes I loved that color, its my 2nd red nail polish and I am not much of a neon or super bright red colors. So this one is dark and looks really good!
    Nail Trend is a brand which you'll see in supermarkets, and I guess its manufactured by Reliance because it has that written on its back. I have four of these Nail Trends ones and they are come for only 15INR/- and in small cute bottles. And I think I 've done two coats of it. They also stay for 3-4 days without chipping I guess coz I don't remember how long I'd worn it.. I usually get bored of my nail paints in 2-3 days and remove it.. :P
     Now here are the pictures:

Have you tried any of the Nail Trend Nail Polishes? What do you think of this one? :)

Miss Claire Eye Pencils in Denim Blue and Tahitian Blue, Review,swatches


Hey everyone!
Today I am reviewing Miss Claire Eye Pencils called the Glimmersticks in the shades ‘denim blue’ and ‘tahitian blue’.
These come for I think somewhere around 150 INR/- each and in various shades. I have three more of these in Black, White and a grey one called Graphite which have been reviewed already.

Packaging:
It comes with a silver lid and the rest of the pencil is in the color of the liner. It has to be sharpened.





My take on the product:
Since I already had tried some liners from this brand and I wanted to get some fun colored eye liners I got these two! And I’d had them for some months now.
Now on to the two shades..Denim Blue is a pretty blue shade with shimmer and looks my warm brown eyes pop! Whereas Tahitian Blue is not blue at all, it is dark green in fact and matt with no shimmer at all! They are creamy in texture and pigmented but now the problem arises..it doesn’t stay long!! It fades that too unevenly. Yeah..I have tried them at home first so that I know how long they stay but I noticed they stay on one eye and fades on another! This is not what we want our liners to do right??!!  And they smudge as well. And they don’t come with testers as well..so you can’t swatche them..
I haven’t dared to use these to college after that! But I tried some eyeshadow swatches on with these as base and it works that way! So I can use them when I do looks atleast!
But I still love the other grey one from Miss Claire called ‘Graphite’!

smudged! :/


Will I buy these again?: No!! I am looking forward to get my hands on some Faces liners instead.  


Just Candy Lipstick in Smoke Rose Review!

Hey everyone!
So now I am reviewing a lipstick which I got last year and you might have seen it in some super old haul!

This lipstick is from a brand called Just Candy! Never heard about it right! Same here!
But hey, I was in a hurry and wanted to get a lipstick for some occasion in college and also low on budget.. So when the lady at the store told me its only for 100 INR/- I got it!
I got it in a shade called Smoke Rose. Its a dull pink color with little shimmer in it or it has a frosty finish. Its not matt.

Packaging: It comes in a dark plum color plastic packaging which seems cheap! Ohh and its manufactured by some Viva Cosmetics.



Here are the swatches: swatched twice.

swatch in Flash

I have used this less than ten times I think. I don't like it, its drying and the frosty finish makes me look older..that's what I think..
So this review is gonna be really short..and I suggest not to buy this lipstick!
But I have a lipgloss from it too which is pretty good.

Will I buy this again?: NO!! Why to buy cheapo ones when we have Maybelline lipsticks which are affordable and worth every penny! 

Maybelline Hypercurl Volum' Express Mascara Review!!

Hey guys!! So hows everyone doing?
I am so sorry for being MIA for these many days!! Lemme tell you the reason..it was the season of never-ending submissions and lots of work load..and which finally has a happy's ending's with the theory exams!! Huh! So that was THE reason for my long absence..
I don't know if anyone missed me or not but I missed blogging! And I have SO many reviews to do for you guys! I promise you are gonna get the best of me only when I have my vacations on..

So..today I am reviewing the already so many times reviewed  mascara.. which is the Maybelline Hypercurl Volum' Express Mascara! Oh ya..its my first mascara!

Packaging:
It looks cute and I like the packaging! Looks classy!



I got the shade 'Very Black' and its waterproof too!
The wand has a gentle bend and gives pretty good application. Although using it on lower lashes can be a little hassle!

with 2 coats of mascara on upper and lower lashes! 
my tiny lashes! :'(

Above are the pics showing how it looks on my eye lashes. Let me tell you one thing..I have super thin and short lashes, and they are almost invisible! Sob! :'(
My younger brother has longer and dark lashes! Why? 
This mascara is not for you if like the fake lash type effect.. It is ideal for college going girls who are just starting out and obviously don't wanna look too dolled up.
It stays whole day without chipping, I don't see any particles around my eyes from this mascara. And it does gives little curl to your lashes. 

Will I buy this again? : Yes, its perfect for everyday wear for college. But I also want to try the Colossal one! :-)

And I am now on Pinterest! Don't forget to follow me there!

Dream Vanity..?

Hiya everyone! Puzzled by the title? Or you thought I am going to show my vanity?

I don't even have a vanity! Not even a tiny dressing table! This is what resulted in this post..I or most of us obviously would like to have a very pretty vanity(read white for me!) which will have lot of space to keep our 'dream' makeup collection and all that..(and if you are someone who already has all this..lucky you!!)

So here are some of my dream vanity table ideas..which Google gave me of course! Most of them are from a brand called PB Teen (Pottery Barn Teen) which as usual is not available in India..why God..why we always miss on amazing things here?!!
Okay..whatever..so all we can do is dream of having dream vanities.. ;-)

I want this one!!!! <3 <3 <3
