Review & FOTD : Stargazer eyeliner in pink !!

Friend's post by Tejinder Kaur

Hi all
Before starting review I would like to start with little introduction of star gazer brand.
Stargazer was established in 1978 with the opening of a stall in the Great Gear Market in the Kings Road London. Kings Road was the centre of the punk fashion in London at the time and it was this attitude towards colour and the outrages that moulded many of the company’s ideas behind the ranges that stargazer produce.Stargazer are still based in the UK and are located in Croydon on the outskirts of London.
In the 1980’s Stargazer began to expand in to the department stores trying to bring the colours of cosmetic they produced to a wider audience. Then in the late 1980’s stargazer started to slowly produce the cosmetic and other products there selves. Stargazer now produces the majority of the products in-house. Until the present day where stargazer have expanded, to include many products that they didn’t start off  with ,in an effort to offer a wide range of cosmetics and their   colouring  products with a wild, colourful and in your face feel to them.

Now come back to review:

Product Description: 
Stargazer is a budget brand .Its range of liquid eyeliners come in a number of eye-catching shades to create a striking effect. The liner is easy to apply with the use of the specially designed, thin tipped brush. Whether it's classic black or bright colour like pink or turquoise all the liners in this range help you to create a bold & fun look. As well as makeup they also make hair dyes and other styling products

Colour: Available in 8 colours. I got the Pink one. 

Price: £3.00

Applicator: 
The nib is a flexible nylon bristle type affair.  It holds together well and doesn’t smudge or fall during application. It produces a substantially pigmented pink line that’s thin enough to tight line the lash line. The single swipe builds up good colour. It doesn’t flake or fade until remove with wipes. It’s a quite impressive product. This liner glides on easily and making it very simple to draw both fine and thick lines.

The swatch : 

Pros:
Travel friendly product.
Doesn’t smudge or flake or fade.
Budgeted product
Quite impressive
No itching or irritation to eyes
Stays longer
Highly pigmented
Glide smoothly on the eyes.
Liquid dries quickly
Quality is perfect
Bright colours available for classic look.

Here is how it looks on me..

 Cons:
Ranges of shades are less.

Final Verdict:
It comes in very pretty shades. The colour lasts all day and quality is awesome and used for creating classic looks with ease. Highly Pigmented and single swipe build up good colour. Stargazer liquid eyeliners made up of a wide variety of colours from standard to the more exciting shades. They are definitely eye catching and budgeted product.

Overall Rating: 9/10

Barbara Daly Long wear eye shadow Bronze Gold -- Review & Swatches !!

Friend post by Tejinder Kaur : 

I bought this eye shadow from local store Tesco. There were 3 for 2 offers on all Barbara Daly products at Tesco. This Long wear eye shadow is part of the beauty collection by legendary make-up artist, Barbara Daly.

Product Description: 

This is pretty bronze colour .These eye shadow sticks are brilliantly pigmented .It can be used to apply on the crease and on the lower lash line and winging it out dramatically at the corners will give perfect Smokey look. It is great for creating a multi-dimensional bronze Smokey eye quickly and easily. You can use your fingers to pat and blend it well or can use eye shadow brush because it gives nice transition.

Texture: 

The texture is very creamy, but contains shimmer as well.Due to creamy texture, I will suggest use eye shadow primer to avoid smudging or creasing.

Staying Power: 

The eye shadow is very long wearing and crease proof and the product comes in a twist pen with a lid. It comes in 4 shades Black Marble, Shimmer Sand, Shell, and Bronze Gold. It stays longer at least 5 or 6 hours and really worth it.

Packaging: 

The packaging is very elegant. It comes in metallic grey pen stick and end part which describes the colour. The description of product is engraved on the pen with white colour and Barbara Daly logo

on it. When you twist the pen from the bottom the eye shadow comes out and it is pointer in shape and you can straightway apply on the lids without using any brush.

Cost: £7.00

EOTD 

Pros:

Perfect for creating Smokey look.

A twist pen shape.

Great value for money.

Cool shades for day and night outs.

No need of any application tools, all could be done with your finger tips to achieve the perfect Smokey eye.

Sits comfortably on the lids for several hours.

High pigmentation.

Easily removed using cleanser/eye makeup remover wipes.

It doesn't take long to apply.

Glides smoothly on the eyes

No creasing or smudging

Travel Friendly

Packaging is sturdy

Cons:

Very creamy texture, need to use eye shadow premier,setting spray or some eye shadow powder.

Can smudge or crease without applying premier.

A bit expensive but really worth product..

Overall rating: 9/10

Sally Hansen Sculpt and Shape Maximum Definition Lip Colour - Classic Review !!

Hi yaa..friends...how r u all? Today i am not in a good mood..i dont know..but a little bit of blogging and checking reviews from other blogs always makes me feel fresh and happy...so i wanna share my views on this particular product

I went a local store few days back,to get some home needs..while i was browzing i came across this one..and of course i added it to the shopping cart.

Price : 3.5 GBP  ( may vary depends on where u buy )

Volume : 0.07oz / 1.9g

Description : 

Sculpt and Shape Lip Colour from Sally Hansen contains an ElastiFlex Complex which reshapes and remodels lips to new levels of definition.

      

The advanced formula instantly shapes sculpts and firms the appearance of lips with dramatic results creating a unique stick shape that adds magnificent curves and contours without the need for lipliner.

Lips are left with a nonfeathering deeply conditioning color that is long lasting with maximum staying power.

My views :

I picked this in shade Classic, which is a nude-plummy-mauve, hard to describe but it almost looks nude on my lips  ..Very moisturizing. 

Observe the shape of the lipstick it is very easy to apply..i wish every lipstick will be in this shape..:)

A light hand is needed for good coverage. This lipstick will probably last for a 4-5 hours without meal ,i dis agree with the long wearing concept about this. 
 I like the scent..Yummy vanilla-icecream scent. 

Here is the swatch..

Yes..i am loving this ..good for these winters..with its moisturising effects..It's a good buy i must say..

have you ever tried them?
