Wet n Wild Blush in Mellow Wine


Wet n wild has been a rage among you-tubers and bloggers alike for a long long time. But I never gave the brand a second look till now. I was like "honestly,  how good a product can be when its price is next to nothing"? Oh boy was I wrong. I was browsing the beauty isle and came across wet n wild products. I picked up a pencil sharpener (can you believe?) because mine wasn't working and wanted a cheap replacement till I bought a nice one. Then the blushes caught my eye and I went ahead and bought one. I decided to go with the shade Mellow wine which is a beautiful pinky peach colour.


The blush is super pigmented and the texture is amazingly smooth and might I say, even better than some of my MAC blushes. It just glides on your cheeks and this shade in particular gives my cheeks a natural flush. Here's the swatch.


The staying power is also pretty good and the blushes are priced at $3 and you get 4gms of product. Amazing isn't it? I know many people snub it because of its cheap price and packaging. But really girls do yourself a favour and go buy these blushes, might save you a lot of money. I have heard a lot about their eye shadows also. Now I might give them a try as well.

Mac Eye Kohl in TEDDY

 

Hi everybody....I was in the mall recently and picked up  MAC eye kohl in Teddy which seems to be the rage now. Honestly when I saw it on mac website I thought that it was a deep brown chocolate-y colour. But when I swatched it in-store it was more of a bronze colour than brown.
Here's the swatch.

The quality is superb and the pencil just glides on. It has a buttery texture and the shimmer particles give another dimension to your eyes. They are very finely milled and you cannot even feel them. I personally like deep brown eye pencil to black. I think they look more softer and feminine. But im not a big fan of glitter. So those who like a little glisten and shine, this eye pencil is made for you. The shine particles give your eyes a soft glow. It is priced around $15 and the pencil will last you for a long time cause its quite long


What do you guys think of brown eye pencils?

Lush Haul

I love juicy shampoo


This shampoo is meant for oily hair and it really does remove all the oiliness and grime from your hair. After washing off your hair feels squeaky clean. It smells fruity and citrusy which I like. But if you use it very often it might make your hair dry....So what I do is alternate between this and their solid shampoo(stimulating and reviving minty shampoo bar) and it works for me.

American cream conditioner


When I went to lush I dint have the intention of buying this.I always use their Forever in bloom conditioner. But because its a retro product you have to order it online as the stores dont carry retro products. So I wanted to try a new one and the sales assistant told me this is their best selling one. And now I know why....Oh My Gosh the smell is AMAZING. And it really makes your hair soft and shiny. The smell lingers in your hair even after washing which is a plus for me.
 
Jasmine and Henna fluff ease

Its a very nice smelling deep conditioner and eases your fluff and flyaway hair. I use it once a week and it makes my hair soft and shiny.
This is what it looks like in the tub...

Glorious mud shower scrub
I wanted to try a scrub other than the body shop ones and this is what I came home with.
Its a nice scrub with rhassoul mud, sesame oil and has a vanilla-e smell to it. But the only down side is the amount of product you get for $7. Makes me cringe......

It started with a kiss lip tint

Its a nice change when you dont want to go all out and wear bright lipstick but still want some colour to your lips.
And it also has coconut oil and a bunch of other non-chemical products which is a plus. And oh its a very nice pink colour and gives your lips the most natural pinky flush.
