My Current Favorite Blushes 2016

 Hello girls,

 How you all doin?

Today I'm talking about my all time favorite/current blushes.
Summer is so on us, and some countries loving it with warmth and beaches, and some just feel blissful to be indoors with our Air-Conditioning, lol

In anyways any country, any face, any skin loves these blushes and so do I..
So here i have listed here my fav fav blushes..

1. NARS Orgasm Blush (all all time favorite)
    Description: Peachy Pink with Gold Shimmer. 
    Its a universal flattering shade, can be used on any skin tone.
    It is simply the most beautiful shade ever!

2. Milani Baked Blush - 06 Bellissimo Bronze
    This blush just gives you that sunkissed look, when glides on skin mostly feels like it highlights, blush and contours all at the same time.. 
    If used light-handed can be very sheer but its buildable too.

3. MAC Mineralize Blush - Dainty
    This pretty pale pink mineralize blush has become my recent favorite as its so light-weight and sheer with such natural finish of tiny pearl sheen.

4. NYX Powder Blush - PB12 TerraCotta
    Terracotta blush with shimmery rose-gold finish, almost looks like a highlight.
    Its been my favorite for years now.

5. Sleek Blush - 922 Life's a Peach
    This beautiful coral shade is perfect for summer days. 
    Its definitely buildable to your desired color we want, I use it for summer day looks. (Not as pigmented as they claim)

I hope you all love them too..

Please don't hesitate to ask if any queries or concerns.

Review: RCMA No Color Powder

Hi there beautiful ladies,

I'm here again reviewing yet another product; which is none other than RCMA - No Color Powder.

Oh my goodness.... This Mother of all Translucent Setting Powders has changed my life.

As you all know by now, I have dry/sensitive skin and not all powders suit our skin type.

I have tried many translucent powders including Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder, Ben Nye Colorless Powder, Ben Nye Banana Powder, NARS Light Reflecting Translucent Powder.. which all no doubt did good for me, worked on my skin too and I like them, they would be like my go-to products.

But this RCMA powder is a genius .... It not only did good but did great for me, feels very very comfortable on dry skin and absolutely no flash backs on photos, which is insane; this works so well and wow makeup is on-point all day; (which is did for others too)

I mean its such a great product for such reasonable price compared to the others..

I'm just amazed and I recommend this product to everybody, especially to dry skin as i have tried it myself and loveeeee it.....

Comes in only one size and they have lot of different colors too, if you want..

Definitely! Definitely! a Must-Have..

Go Grab it girls...... Before it gets Sold Out again.. lol

Best Foundation for your Skin

Heya my lovelies,
How you all have been doin?


Oh my goodness! if you follow me on Instagram you would know that i work for NARS Cosmetics in Sephora-Dubai, i have been working for them for more than a year now.. I have to tell you guys, its a super amazing experience to work here, you get to meet so many ppl and they all love to listen to the makeup advices I was willing to give and because it kept me working and busy day n night.... Phew! i haven't had the chance to blog (apologies) but I'm back and back with so much to talk about..

Starting off with basics of makeup - FOUNDATION..

Its so important to choose a right foundation for yourself because no matter how good your eyeshadow, contour, blusher, lip colors are without a good foundation they don't even reflect on your face.

Its so important to know your skin type & accordingly choose the right foundation for urself as you prefer.

Try them yourself to know the difference in life :)

5 Best Concealers Ever!!

Hi Girlies!! 

Eid Al-Fitr Mubarak! Hope you all had an amazing time with your family and friends...

Ramadan and Eid kept me busy, but without any delay - Here are the best products to hide those tired eyes!!


Best Under Eye Concealers!!


Bobbi Brown Corrector and Concealer

This peach tinted concealer is perfect for dark circles under the eyes as it counteracts the blueness (orange/peach is the opposite of blue on the color  wheel, therefore the colors balance each other out). Correctors work differently than traditional concealers in that they are colored- specifically for correcting a specific issue (ie blueness under the eyes looking like dark shadows or circles). The gel like consistency is perfect for under the eyes. It won’t cake up or look too dry. It glides easily, isn’t too thick, and covers extremely well.

To apply I simply take my ring finger and swipe the smallest amount under my eyes before I apply my foundation. If you don’t wear foundation, then you will simply need a color close to your skin which is not peach, As the Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit, you will love every bit of using this product.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat

Even though this is actually claimed to be a “skin brightener”, but it works well as just a plain ole’ concealer. ;) I use this under the eyes, BUT I apply after my foundation. You do not need this in addition to correctors, as you don’t want to apply too much product, especially under the delicate eye area.

The consistency of this is a bit creamy versus a gel, but it isn’t so thick to where it emphasizes any wrinkles or crevices. If you don’t have bad dark circles, then this should be plenty coverage for you.  I suggest getting a shade lighter than your skin to help brighten up the area.

To apply, gently sweep this under the eyes after applying foundation. Or you can apply straight to bare skin if you wish to skip foundation, just be sure to blend really well.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

This is without doubt the best drugstore concealer ever! This comes in a tube and has a wand much like a lipgloss would. It’s easy to apply and blends into the skin smoothly and evenly. It’s a thin, liquid formula that covers and hides imperfections incredibly well. It also hides dark under eye circles, no problem. This concealer is available in 6 different shades catering for either pink or yellow undertones. The best way to apply this is to sweep it under the eyes or around the nose where you need it and blend it with either your ring finger or concealer brush.

This has a smooth formula and doesn't get at all cakey. It does have a slight smell but is nothing offensive or too harsh. I find this is a great dupe for the YSL Touche Éclat. This is ideal for those days when you don’t want to wear a full face of foundation but still want to cover any darkness or imperfections you may have.

Best Concealers for Blemishes!!

MAC Studio Finish Concealer

The difference between undereye concealers and blemish concealers is simply the texture: concealers that work best on blemishes have a thicker, creamier texture. I love this MAC one as it covers incredibly well and doesn’t look cakey like some cream concealers can. It comes in a convenient little pot which is great for travel, and it is available in a variety of different shades.

Makeup For Ever Camouflage Cream

This palette was my first love for concealers! I love how well it covers the blemishes and how it doesn’t get cakey. The texture is almost exactly like MAC’s Studio Finish, but it includes 5 shades in one sleek palette, perfect for custom blending. 

To apply, I dab my finger (clean finger *cough cough*) into the concealer and dab over the blemish. Do NOT swipe as it will streak instead of covering the blemish, especially if it is raised.

If you need just a little coverage under the eyes, this could work, but be sure to apply with a concealer brush so you get a super thin layer.

Let me what you think about these products in the comments section below!

Skin Care during Holy Ramadan!!

Hey there, beautiful ladies,

Ramadan Kareem to all of you!!

While you are fasting, your body and skin goes through many changes and for this reason you need to take special care of your skin. Skin care in Ramadan is very important to have a fresh look all daylong so that you do not look wearied out to your family and friends. And, for this the first few things to know are skin related problems that may arise during Ramadan. 

Dehydration is the most common threat that is associated to the summer season. Due to dehydration, the skin becomes dull and faint. On the top of it, when you are fasting, you cannot take the amount of liquid that you would usually take during the day to keep you hydrated. Your meal times also change during this month, making your skin prone to many diet related hazards, which also affect the quality of your skin.
Following are the some skin care tips for the Holy month of Ramadan.

Ø  Diet is very important because it has direct effect on the skin. Avoid eating oily and spicy food items because these can turn your skin oily and result in the outgrowth of pimples, acne and skin rashes.

Ø  Eat a good amount of fresh vegetables and fruits in suhoor and iftaar to provide essential nutrients to the skin.

Ø  Protect yourself and your skin from the harmful effects of the dehydration; drink a lot of liquids between iftaar and suhoor.

Ø  If your skin is dry then you should do cleansing and toning regularly.

Ø  Women with oily skin should not use oily creams and lotions in Ramadan.

Ø  It is good to wash your face with plain water frequently. Along with the moisturizing your face, it also removes the extra oil and dust from the skin.

Ø  Spray rose water 3-4 times a day on sensitive parts of your skin during Ramadan to keep your skin cells fresh.

Ø  Avoid cosmetics as much as you can.

If you have to go to work or you have to wear makeup on daily basis for some reason, then you must try these tips.

·         Light-weighted foundation looks good and hides the spots on your skin.

·         Use blush-on of matte light colors like peach, pink or bronzers.

·         Using eye shadow during the day is not necessary but if you really should then use light/nude colors.

·         You can also wear kajal or eye liner to make your eyes to look gorgeous.

·         Try not to use any kind of lip wear during fasting or u can try some organic lip balm (make sure, u don’t ingest it).

Ramadan Kareem  and  Stay Blessed..

Love <3

'SO ECO' MakeUp Brushes Review

"This Face Brush Kit by 'So Eco' contains four different brushes used for the perfect application of instant make-up."

  

I know what you're all thinking, "So Eco, I've never heard of that brand before" well here's why...

The 'So Eco' range of make up brushes and tools is brand new! They're fresh from the factory and until now I have only seen them in Spinneys(Dubai) or at  www.amazon.co.uk at the moment. 

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to be one of the first in Dubai to review and share this brand with you all! 

The biggest selling points of the So Eco brushes will definitely be the fact that they are made from sustainable materials, they're recyclable (literally everything, from the products packaging to the bristles on the brushes). They are cruelty free and the brushes are cut and trimmed by hand to give them that extra special finish. 

I chose the Face Brush Kit to try out, mainly because of the fact that it contained a makeup brush for each area of the Face ;-) but also down to the fact that the set comes in a beautiful natural cotton wrap which is an ideal way to store your brushes! The brushes may be Eco-friendly but they are also practical and usable for every day make-up application.

The brushes themselves have handles made entirely of bamboo, and have super soft, fine bristles which make them really comfortable and easy to use. There are four brushes in the set, which includes an Eyeshading Brush, Foundation Brush, Blush Brush and a Finishing Brush. They are all going to become part of my daily make up routine. 

Overall I think these brushes are good quality, works well with products and super soft, have a nice appearance/packaging, and are very competitively priced with other brush brands. There are a range of other types of brushes which you can check out on the Amazon Website for Online shopping or also check out in Spinneys Dubai!!

 The world is a beautiful place, so let's keep it that way.

Love the Quote written on the 'So Eco' packaging ;-) and found it amazing the way they have explained how everything is so Eco-friendly :)

What do you think of this set? Will you be trying some of the brushes?

Stay Beautiful..

Love Neha xoxo
