Summer Time Blue Eyeliner Tutorial

I really like to play with colour during the summer season and I love coming up with colourful eye looks. I had the Inglot Gel eyeliner in number 87 which is a turquoise blue eyeliner with me for quite some time now and I thought of doing a fun eyeliner tutorial with it. I also have three other colours in the same range and I have done a full review on my youtube channel. Watch and comment :)

Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick Review | Liquid Lipstick in India

Let's begin the review of Chambor Extremewear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick. Boy! That's a mouthful and a handful to say and type. So, from now on I am going to refer to them as Chambor liquid lipstick.


The packaging is very simple and frankly speaking I am not a big fan of it. But the product is good so I am not complaining. It comes in a plastic tube which is transparent and with a plastic black cap. The box in which it comes in has all the information like the expiry date and the price and the ingredients. The applicator is like any other liquid lipstick. 


This is a liquid lipstick so when you apply it, it will feel liquid on your lips. You have to let it dry for at least 3-4 mins before it becomes matte. Once it becomes matte it is not going anywhere. It lasts for a good 6-7 hours. It might last a little longer but I had to remove it before going to bed at night. 

If you have dry lips I would recommend using a chapstick before and then applying this on your lips. This gets so matte after some time that it might feel a little weird for people with dry lips. The colour I am going to talk about is a beautiful blood red colour number 435. 


I was looking for a true red colour which is why I stumbled upon these lipsticks, I have never used Chambor products before but I was so surprised and satisfied after using these. Let me show you pictures of me wearing it through the day to show how long lasting it is. 

I wore the lipstick in the morning before work. I use chapstick on top of the lipstick because I don't like my lips too dry. 


Then I had a coffee after I reached at Starbucks. The lipstick had transferred a little bit on the travel mug but when I checked myself in the bathroom mirror it didn't feel as if it had transferred. 


Then I had a pretty greasy lunch and while eating I was definitely sure that my lips had no lipstick on them. Then again I was surprised when I checked in the bathroom mirror.


 The intensity was reducing a little bit but it was the colour was still pretty good. Then in the evening I was looking haggard but my lipstick was still on fleek.


I don't know about you, but if a lipstick stays on my lips for the entire work day then I am impressed thoroughly. I have bought three more colours in this range and I have also made a video review about it here Chambor Liquid Lipstick Review


Do check out the video. 

The price of the product is Rs845 for 6ml. I am not complaining as the product itself is amazing. 

Please comment below if you are going to try it or not... Bye!!!

Colorbar Luminous Rouge Blush Review

Just the other day I was looking for a good everyday blush which would go with my skin tone. I have wheatish skin tone and I felt pink blush was getting a little too boring for me. I was looking for a coral blush and found a perfect one in Colorbar.


I picked up the Luminous Rouge Blush in the color Luminous Coral. When I first saw it, I thought it was too orange. And in reality if you don't take extra care while dipping your brush into this you might look orange. So be careful of the amount of product you take. 

This is what the website has to say about the product - 
Unique Blusher with colors that melt into each other for giving your cheeks a delicate glow or sculpting the cheekbones to create evenly & professional - Level look
A silky, impalpable texture that blends magically with the skin, creating an absolutely natural and even effect.
Fine powders guarantee a velvety touch, while ultra-fine pigments ensure excellent colour yield and high blendability."

Before starting the review let's take a look at the packaging. 


It comes in a silver box and inside the box is the blush in a compact container. It doesn't have any mirror. The cover is transparent through which you can see the product. 


When you open the lid, you will notice three different colours in the same blush. On the extreme left is a brown shade, then in the middle is orange and at the right end is light peach with shimmer on it. The shimmer is not that visible in the picture but the extreme right colour works very good as a highlighter. 


You can use the darker shade for contouring and the middle for blush and the lighter shade for highlighting or you can use all the three together for a shimmery blush. The swatch above is just one swipe of finger across the product.


The blush is extremely pigmented but it is also extremely blend able. You have to be careful when you apply it, you can always apply too much and get an orange cheek but if used properly it looks divine. Always start with a little product and then build on it if you feel like. 

Price : Rs. 1200

It is pricey but you are getting a lot of product and also the quality is very good. I used the blush in one of my tutorial and the link to it is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZCdcdRx8-4

PAC Pro Lip Pots in "Grown Up" Review | Lip Pots in India

I know how important that perfect lipstick is to a woman. I also know the constant struggle of reapplying lipstick after every meal or the fear of getting our lipstick on our partner's lips while kissing. Well the struggle is over ladies.

PAC just launched their lip pots on Amazon and Flipkart and I jumped right in to buy one. I have used it for a couple of days now to really tell you how I feel about it. I haven't kissed anyone wearing it but I can assure you don't have to worry about transferring your lipstick on him. 


The packaging is very simple. It comes in a cardboard container and inside you will find the pot and a lip brush. I thought the free lip brush was so thoughtful of them. Usually a makeup company would try to sell the lip brush separately for extra cash but they gave it for free. The lip pot is made of tough glass jar and the cap is plastic with PAC written on it. The lip brush is pretty good quality and does the job perfectly. 

The colour I got is called "Grown Up". It is a very bright fuchsia colour. It is very flattering for almost any skin colour.


Let's start with the Pros of this product:
1. It is very long lasting. I wear it in the morning before heading for work and as the day progresses I drink water or eat food which removes the outer coating of the lip product. But it still leaves a pretty intense stain on your lips so that it doesn't look as if you have nothing on your lips. 
2. It is very pigmented. You don't have to layer it to get the colour. One stroke and it gives you the perfect colour. 
3. It is extremely matte. You might have to use chapstick if you have dry lips because this is just going to give colour not moisture. 
4. It doesn't transfer. This is what I was talking about when I said you can kiss whoever you want once you apply this. 
5. Best for professional makeup artists. If you are not a professional makeup artist then you might want a lipstick instead of a lip pot. But if you are makeup collector then why not. 
6. You get a lot of product just for Rs. 485. It might be with you till you die. 



Now the Cons
1. It is a lip pot so you have to carry the lip brush otherwise you will end up with colour on your fingers which is a little hard to get out.
2. The lip brush is another brush you have to take care and clean. If this was a lipstick you wouldn't have to worry about the lip brush. If you lose the lip brush you have to purchase another one.
3. This gets powdery if you have dry lips and you have been wearing it for a long time. 


The swatch I have attached above is just one stroke with the my fingers. It is that pigmented. 

Price: Rs. 485

You can buy it from Amazon or Flipkart. There in total 10 shades in this series and all of them are in the red or pink colour family. Would I repurchase it? Yeah... if it ever gets over I will definitely repurchase it. I am also planning to buy one more colour so hang on for the next review. 


So this was the full review of the PAC lip pot in "Grown Up". I have also made a video review if you are interested. Here is the link https://youtu.be/gNu_SkqWJJw. I am also wearing the lip pot on lips for you to see how it looks like on me.
