Review : Makeup brushes by Brigette's Boutique.com !!

Brushes play important role in applying make-up if you don't have proper brushes.....you cant do make-up well..isn't it?

Today i want to introduce you all two budget friendly make up brushes with a very good quality.these are available at http://www.brigettesboutique.com/

Not only these brushes..do check their website ..they sell some of the major brands like Benefit,The balm,Urban Decay which every girl is dreaming about and they ship international too...this is awesome.and they have wide range of variety from their own brand Brigettes Boutique.

And i must say they sent the products with a bubble wrapped packing and they reached me within one week.i am pretty much impressed.

Now coming to the today review ...here is the first look of the brushes...

I have two brushes with me now....

1.Brigette's Boutique Angled Top Synthetic Long Handle Kabuki

what they say about this brush :

Our long handled angled top kabuki is made of quality synthetic fibers and will apply makeup with precision.

My Experience : 

 I am very much impressed with this particular brush..it has long handle which is easy to hold ..and the bristles are soft,smooth and stiff.perfect for applying blush . i prefer small concealer brush to apply bronzer and after that blend using a small fluffy brush.so i dont use this for applying bronzer.

You can see the bristles from the above picture....they are perfect.i washed the brush once..absolutely no fall out ....here is the comparison of size with elf bronzing brush ,so that you can get an idea of length of the brush

This is available at http://www.brigettesboutique.com/ for $9.95

2.Brigette's Boutique Signature Retractable Kabuki Brush

As you all know i love cute things ...this cute retractable kabuki brush caught my eye...

This is perfect fit for my handbag...i am using this for retouch of powder .again these bristles are smooth and sturdy....its retractable one..comes with the cap.good for travelling.

You can buy it on line Here for  $6.50

so..what brushes r u using now?

Review : soul flower Rose soap !!

Review By Bharati :

Hi Friends....hope you all are doing good.i own 1000 INR gift hamper in a give away conducted by PINK N PURPLE and "soulflower" once again thanks to both for choosing me as a winner.

REVIEW

Rose soap is well known for its cooling properties and is excellent to sooth ur nerves and wash ur depression away...

Ingredients : 

rosehip essestial oil,crushed rose petals,glycerin vitanin E,rose water,olive,coconut,castor,palm and palm kernel oil.

Color : Rose

Fragrance : Rose

Texture : Smooth

Weight : 150g

Price : INR200

Rose

The aroma of rose can calm anger and alleviate hang overs..you cannot forget the brilliant intoxicationg scent of freshly cut deep roses.Rose helps revive or dull complexion and to perfume our skin.

                 This soap is excellent skin toner,cleanser and moisturiser.Stimulating and cleansing with this soap is good choice for mature,dry and aging skins.This is 100% Vegan soap.

What is 100% vegan Organic soap?

soul flower saop is made with vegetable oils of oil,rice bran,castor,coconut and palm oil.during the natural saponification of these oils,soap is produced.Glycerin is a natural by product of our soap making and has humectant properties.This soap doesnot use any animal produce like milk or honey.

My experience with it :

First thing you notice about the soap, is the beautiful pink color. I love such bright color and who won’t ?.The bar comes wrapped in a thin transparent plastic cling film.  You cannot smell its fragrance without opening the pack. 

When I opened the pack, I was greeted by the heavenly smell of Rose. I loved it .Taking bath with it is stimulating.It relaxes and rejuvinates at the same time.   it has a lot of natural ingredients are used in it, that’s another good thing about it.  As essential oils are used in this, it is soft and soothing to the skin.It lasts longer than any other soap I’ve used. 

My views:

It is very expensive for daily soap so we can use it instead of face wash daily..

As many other soaps, this one also doesn’t melt like crazy in washroom humidity.

 I feel like a queen bathing with this luxuriant soap. The only con, the smell doesn't linger for long, vanishes in a few minutes.

we can buy  online on various online shopping sites and it is not availble in small cities..

PINK N PURPLE says : 

First of all,Thank u so much bharati for the awesome review...i really appreciate you for writing this review for me, some people who won in my give away not able to post a pic atleast...:) 

i will definitely try this soap. 

you can buy this soap on-line here http://www.soulflower.biz/

These nail varnishes have a special range called " 3D " ..this is what they say about their 3D range " The nail varnish changes colour with the movement of your hand "

These are priced £9.95 for 14 ml of product

the shades are very hard to DESCRIBE as the 3d varnishes are mix of some shades.these have a perfect brush to apply..and for the 3d ones u need to apply 2/3 coats to get the desired shade.you should apply a top coat other wise they chip within 2 days..:(

here are the swatches ...APOLOGIES for my uneven nails ..:)

Rimmel Apocalips 101 celestial Swatches & Review !!!

May be i am the last blogger in UK to review this..lol..:)

But any ways i got it 1 month back and some how i missed posting the review...so these "Apocalips" created a sensation in blogging world recently..r they worth the hype? continue reading..to know that.....

Price : £5.99 available in superdrug/boots

The APOCALIPS colours that are available are:

500 Luna

600 Nude Eclipse

101 Celestial

102 Nova

301 Galaxy

303 Apocaliptic

501 Stellar

400 Big Bang

I love the packaging its new ..almost like a Rocket..and the applicator comes with smooth sponge....easy to apply the product.

My thoughts  :

I am very much excited to try these ....when i swatched them in store..these are very well pigmented...pigmented like lipsticks and with  finish like a gloss.i picked in shade "101 celestial " its more like pinkish coral.i cant describe the exact colour though..:) its more like a lip cream .

i have super dry lips...i usually prefer to use a lipbalm before applying a lipstick.i do the same when applied this.this stays on me for maximum 2 hours without a meal..after that it forms patches on my lips..i dont know happens to me only.....but i really hate that..:(

                                Swatches with and without flash

101 celestial is a pretty natural shade...i feel more good if it stays for longer time..


Overall..its not a bad product ....and its not that much great product too..its a average lippie for me...but ..i ..love the shade ..

hope my review helpful..

Review & swatch : MUA Lipboom Bring it !!

hello beautiful ladies...how r u all? love is in the air..i feel ..do you?????????

Any ways as there is valentines day around i want to introduce you all a beautiful matte red lippie...perfect for dinner with your beloved !!Its none other than from our budget brand MakeUpAcademy (MUA)

Here are the four ways of applying lip boom 

 Lipstick and highlighting gloss that creates fuller curvaceous lips or a dramatic illusion of volume. There are 4 amazing ways to transform your lips and give them some Boom!

1. Lipstick alone for a matte look.
2. Lipstick with highlighter applied just to the centre of your lips to create a full volume illusion. 
3. Lipstick with highlighter all over for a super-glossy look. 
4. Highlighter alone for a sheer pearl finish.

There are 8 amazing shades in the range

 Packaging : 

i like the packaging...its something interesting than regular lippies..i love that !!

My experience :

I like to wear bright shades for evening..this is matte red lipstick with absolutely no shimmer in that.and the gloss with fine gold shimmers.

i apply lip balm before apply any lipstick as i have extremely dry lips.it stays for one-two hours on me after that it fades leaving a tint...and it transfers easily..:(

hey lovelies...first of all apologies...for not posting regularly these days !! am bit lazy...and busy with my work !! how r u all doing !!

Today i am reviewing a cute natural eye palette from claire's cosmetics . Few days back i visited a mall near by .i love to visit claire's always as they have cute stuff .while browzing i saw this cute palette on sale for £ 2.50..so it went in my shopping bag.and i really like it..very good palette for eye makeup beginners...as i am planning to do post for eye makeup beginners,i will be using this palette.

Read more




The packaging is so cute ,a golden palette with in built mirror and sponge applicator,very travel friendly.

All are very natural colours,and pigmentation is good.but i prefer to use a eye lid primer when i use this palette.i could not able to capture clear image of swatches because of bad lighting at home..but all shades are pretty wearable.

These are not matte shades..contains few gold shimmers,and yes completely wearable.

overall,i recommend this palette to ppl who love the cute things like me !! or if you find in a sale,grab one its worth buying. i wont buy this for sure if it is on original price ( £ 4.50 )

so...do u have any palettes from claires?

Till next time take care !!

Stay blessed !!

♥ ♥ APPLELICIOUS ♥ ♥GLOSSY LIP BALM BY NYC Review !!

Hey friends..today i am reviwing an interesting product ....it is a glossy lip balm by NYC...i bought recently from super drug around 3 pounds..and i love the apple flavour of it and more..lets see the detailed review..


What the company claims !!

new deliciously ‘feel good’ APPLELICIOUS lip balm that will deliver color, shine and moisture in one single swipe! Just like the Big Apple itself it’s juicy, shiny and colorfully loud but also reveals a softer and more caring side. Color is fun and fruity and with a hidden apple core of care it’s also delightfully moist. This ‘oh so cute!’ apple-shaped core reinforces the moisturizing properties of the rest of the balm and gives your lips a healthier look! The apple on the cake? A fruity apple scent that will make your lips irresistibly kissable!

                                                Am i pretty?

♥  ♥ ♥ continue reading  ♥ ♥ ♥

 

 Key Ingredients : Trio of Shea Butter, Jojoba and Avocado Oil

 

  

You can see how juicy it is..The staying power is good the glossiness stays for some time..after that it leaves a stain..and it is highly transferable...:(

There is nothing much to talk about this ...pretty reasonable price with good selection of shades u can check the website link Here to check the available shades..here i am wearing this shade just a single swipe..sorry for the bad lighting of the pic..:)

so..u like it?
