Hello lovely readers,

Today I'm reviewing 2 Dior Addict lipsticks. Firstly I'm not a very big fan of Dior Makeup per-say. But their lipsticks are a different story altogether. They are amazingly soft and have a brilliant shine. I have repurchased many shades already. One of the shades I repurchased is in number 963 Red Carpet. Its the most amazing shade of red I've come across. Its neither blue based nor orange based. Its creamy shiny and gorgeous. Its not very opaque but the pigmentation is so amazing that with one swipe you almost get a shiny opaque colour. The lipstick lasted for a good 3-4 hours on my lips without eating. This is one of the best reds out there and will be my staple red till Dior stops doing this colour. Dior Addict lipsticks are priced at $30 which is kind of pricey but the quality and the vibrancy of the colous are unmatched.




The other colour I got is 972 Rose Shocking. As I  ordered these lipsticks online I fell for the reviews telling that its a gorgeous colour with micro shimmer particles visible in tube but not on lips. It has thousands of micro shimmer particles which are very much evident on your lips also. And I'm more of a subtle sheen person than a shimmer person. I don't dig glitter or shimmer that much. No doubt its a beautiful brownish pink colour but the shimmer is just too much for me. And after a while when the colour fades all that is left on your lips is a bunch of shimmer particles. My heart just broke because I shelled out $30 for a colour which i'll never wear. But people who like shimmer will love this colour as its a very beautiful muted pink.


Love,
Vinutha

Bvlgari Perfume in Rose Essentielle

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all doing good. I got a new perfume from Bulgari called Rose Essentielle. As the name implies its a tribute to the delicate flower- Rose. Its  a very luxurious and feminine perfume which has a sophistication of its own. I thoroughly enjoyed  using it as I love the smell of rose. It stays on forever on you. This has become my favourite perfume for the night out as it adds a touch of luxury without being over the top. Those who like roses will sure like this perfume. The bottle itself is very sleek and classy. Its priced around $60-$65 for 1oz of product.




Notes- Rose prelude, Blackberry, Mimosa, Jasminum symbac, Patchouli.

Style-Luxurious, Delicate, Feminine.

Love,
Vinutha

MAC eye shadows in sable and shadow lady

Hello lovelies,

I got 2 eye shadows from mac namely sable and shadow lady.



Sable is  golden plumy bronze color in velvet finish. Its a very nice every day all over lid or crease color. And because its velvet finish it glides on like a dream. The color pay off is pretty good and it stays put without creasing. So far its one of my favourite eye shadows from mac and I've repurchased it many a times. I generally use it as a crease color or for smokey look, but when in a hurry I just slap it on my whole lid for a sheer wash of color and subtle shine. It looks good either ways.


Shadow lady is a blackened plum color in matte finish. And because its matte finish the color pay off is excellent. I use it along my lash line and it looks perfect with plum or berry lipstick. You can use it for smokey look as well. The staying power is just amazing.....it lasts the whole day without budging.

The eye shadows are priced at $15 and you get 1.5 grams of product.
