My experience with the product:

My Thumbs UP for:

·        4 shades-  1)Pure turquoise 2) Mint green 3)Silver Grey 4)Forest Green

·        Cute little box which is transparent with the 4 cubes inside it which also comes in 4 small boxes. So easy to handle, and like other eye shadows will not merge with each other on the palette.

·        You can use it for your Smokey eye look and also the mint green and turquoise shade can be teamed up together to give you that extra zing(I have tried it at a party and everybody loved it, I will give a tutorial on how I did it later J )

·        No need of buying a separate kit of Smokey eye shades.

·        Stays on as long as you don’t remove it or it is wiped off.

·        Though not gel based, still the texture is smooth and pearly.

·        The shimmering effect is well felt.

·        It will last you for over a year.

    

My Thumbs DOWN for:

·        The price is a bit on the higher side.

·        No applications brush provided with the kit, so if you don’t own one, it’s a problem.

·        As said by the sales person, availability might be an issue.

My Overall Verdict:      I will give it a rating of 4.5/5.

                                         I will definitely buy it again.

Review on Body Shop Primer

Quantity – 8ml

Claim by the product –     Against Animal Testing

My experience with the product:

My Thumbs UP for:

• A multipurpose solution to all my problems of buying different primers. This product can be used as a base primer for your lips (before applying lipstick), Cheek (before applying blush on) and moreover I have tried it as an eye primer (before applying eye shadow) and it worked wonders.
• Price is very less compared to the benefits it provides.
• Very nice cute little bottle, so can be carried in a purse and also travel friendly
• This Intensifies eye shadow color
• Prevents eye shadow from smudging, lipstick from spreading out and blush on lasts longer than it should
• Comes with an easy-to-use applicator.
• The product is liquid like and so easy to spread on your eyes, cheek and lips
• Gives more sparkle to your eye shadow, lipstick and blush on.

My Thumbs DOWN for: I have not yet found out any major drawbacks. It is a new product by Body Shop.

My Overall Verdict:      I will give it a rating of 5/5.




 

I will definitely buy again, as soon as I can finish this present one

Not just make-up......An Image Makeover!!

Currently,the market provides standalone solutions to enhance one's looks.Salons can give one a trendy haircut or glowing skin,fitness centres can help one shed that extra kilo and certain programs on television can provide fashion tips.Multibrand showrooms provides us with the latest garments,but without a cue to what will look good on a particular person.However,most of the time clients walk in to either of the above centres with just one need : "TO LOOK GOOD".

An expensive saree/dress may not make  an overweight woman look like the mannequin in the showroom.Similarly,a bad dressing sense may even make a hunk look ordinary.For the icing on the cake one needs to have a charming personality.

So, the main idea should be to bring together all aspects of one's image i.e. fashion,diet and fitness,grooming and personality development.

Through my forthcoming blogs I plan to share my experiences and experiments in my quest to make myself look good.
