Nivea Soft | A Basic but HG Moisturiser

0

Nivea Soft, a basic but my HG moisturiser. Yes, you read it right.
Nivea Soft is the most available and budget-friendly yet effective quality face cream you can get here in BD.

I have combination skin type. My skin reacts normally in summer but in winter its acts crazy. It feels so dry and sensitive and one point it starts to flake. A basic moisturizer is a must for me in winter and I swear by Nivea Soft.

The texture of Nivea Soft cream is very random. nothing special to say actually. It has that soothing Nivea signature fragrance in it. The original Nivea(if you are familiar with) is an intense moisturizer, but this one is mild and thin in consistency. This soft version doesn’t feel oily or greasy yet very nourishing to the facial skin. Effectively replenish moisture and does exactly what you need when you have a dry skin issue. Nivea Soft claims to have jojoba oil and vitamin E in it which is an added bonus. When applied it takes about a minute to absorb, after that skin feels refreshed, hydrated and plump up.

Nivea Soft is not only for your face, it’s good for hand and body as well. It comes in a different size of packaging so you can easily choose the amount of product you want according to your need. I never faced any breakout issue either while using this cream.

Overall, Nivea Soft is a great everyday moisturizer that you can’t complain about. Suitable for any skin type yet if you have super dry skin you might want to get the original version. The important point to be noted, this cream will not serve any special purpose like oil control or else, it’s just a basic moisturiser.

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner | Blackest Black

44

Hello Reader,
I’ll be reviewing today Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner in the shade Blackest Black. One thing to mention, the one I’m reviewing today is imported from the USA. The packaging you seeing in the picture is Maybelline’s USA version. I found same product available in other countries has different packaging.

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner is one of the most popular drugstore liners. However, I got my hands on this recently, about a month ago. It is priced around $10 in the USA. The gel liner comes in a small sleek plastic jar which is transparent, well finished and sturdy. The jar contains 3g of the product. It also comes with a palm size long small flat tip brush. The brush is well made yet not really useful to apply liner because of its thickness. You can easily use the brush for other purposes like I find it perfect as lipstick applicator.

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner has that perfectly smooth and creamy texture. Pigmentation is perfect and black, but I feel it’s tad bit far from that ink like black. Dries up on the application within 40/50sec and then gives a matte finish. What I love about this liner is it applies really smoothly, doesn’t bleed/flake and makes it very easy to create a sharp and tidy line, for example, cat eye! Once the product is dry it doesn’t transfer, fade, move or budge in any way just as Maybelline claims. However, I haven’t worn it up to that 24hr mark but 8/9 hour.

Swatches shown below is one light stroke by the flat and thin side of the brush it comes with.

If you are concern about allergic reaction then let me tell you my eyes are quite sensitive. Till now I haven’t faced any allergic issue with Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner. Lastly, as because this Gel Eye Liner is waterproof and long wearing you’ll need some kind of good eye makeup remover to wear it off.

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner

Overall, I’m completely satisfied with Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner. I agree with others, this is the best budget gel line I have come across. After a month, I haven’t noticed any symptom that it’s drying up in the pot. I can easily count this product in my repurchase category.

MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter | Pink Shimmer & Iridescent Gold

0

MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter


MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter(£3):

As described by Makeup Academy(MUA), this lightweight baked highlighting powder designed to provide sheer coverage and soft focus effect with luminescence shimmer. It also claim to perfect any look by creating a natural healthy glow.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

MUA lunched the pink one couple of year ago, as I can recall, and the yellow gold one they launched recently. Both of them comes in a similar simple plastic packaging with clear lid, contains 7.5g of product. The packaging isn’t really sturdy so if your are traveling then you need to be careful with them. Both of these powder has beautiful motion wave imprint in it. No, I didn’t used up the pink one. Actually, i broke that earlier and pressed it to reuse. That’s why you cant see the imprint in pink one.

MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter

MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter


Both of these MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter powder has identical texture. They are smooth enough to blend yet I found both of them kind of powdery. The powder is nicely pigmented, a little goes a long way, doesn’t have any smell in it and holds good Lasting power.

[wp_ad_camp_4][/wp_ad_camp_4]

The pink shimmer one has strong pink tone in it and shines way to much in my opinion. I found the pink tone quite awkward for regular use in my brownish skin tone. I can only think of it if I’m going out at night or with some kind of overly done makeup. Other hand, the Iridescent Gold one gives more subtle glow and wearable finish than the pink one. It also has strong gold tone yet that is manageable in my skin tone with application technique. Somehow Iridescent Gold feels a tad-bit more powdery than the pink one but I like the gold one better between these two. I can easily wear Iridescent Gold anytime doesn’t matter its day or night.

MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter


MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighters does have their down side, however, if I think about the price and the amount of product(7.5g) I get, these are definitely a bargain. Yes, I couldn’t be a fan of the original Pink Shimmer one but I would say Iridescent Gold is a great bargain highlighter to try.
If you are a beginner working with highlighter then you should try one of these MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter.

*** MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter isn’t available in Bangladesh. You can get then through online.

Yellow with Black eyelook

Yellow with Black eyelook

Yellow with Black eye look; I was requested by the reader to create a look using bright yellow and black.
I kept the look edgy yet soft by using just a touch of black shadow at the ending edge. Smoked out lower lash line adds depth into this look. I think this is a perfect Yellow with Black eye look for Asian skin tone also can be worn anytime.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

Pictorial of eye makeup:

Yellow with Black eyelook

1. At first I applied NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk to create the base for shadow. Then taking a bright yellow shadow filled the lid up to the crease.

2. With an orange brown color defined the crease area and nicely blended that with yellow shadow.

3. Using a dark black shadow drew an angular line in the outer corner. I kept the black portion minimum here to avoid the harshness of the black and give this look a softer edge.

4. Drawn a winged liner in the upper lid. Smoked out my lower lash line with black kajal and shadow and extended a second line just under the upper liner. Applied highlighting color in the brow bone and tear duct area. Lastly applied loads of mascara.

How To Do Makeup | Colorful Eye Makeup with Blue, Green, and Purple – Pictorial

Unlike following the berry and glam makeup trend of fall suddenly I got into colorful eyes! Bright color always helps to freshen up my mind, what about you? Blue eye makeup is something I guess I am always drawn to. However this season I’m feeling like more peacock like multi-color eye makeup. The eye makeup I’m sharing today isn’t overly peacock style but there are some similarities for the use of blue, green and purple eyeshadows.

Pictorial of this blue, parrot green and purple hue eye makeup:

  1. At first, I applied NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk to create a base for shadow. Then taking the parrot green color from Sleek Acid palette filled a very inner corner of the lid.
  2. From my Bhcosmetics, 120 palette 2nd edition applied a purplish burgundy color in the crease the crease.
  3. Using the same palette filled empty space of lid with a bright blue color. Then taking a purple shadow defined the outer corner and slightly blended that into the crease.
  4. Smoked out my lower lash line with a reddish copper color. Applied highlighting color in the brow bone and tear duct area.
  5. Drawn a winged liner in the upper lid. Lastly applied loads of mascara.

Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush

Essence Precise Eyeliner BrushEssence Precise Eyeliner BrushEssence Precise Eyeliner BrushEssence Precise Eyeliner Brush

Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush Costs BDT 230/- and available in stores that have essence counter.

Lining eyes can be more easier and precise if you have a perfect tool/brush. Obviously that also depends on what type of brush/tool you find comfortable and handy. Some of us likes precise pointed brush, some feels good to work with thin angle brush like this Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush. If you ask me, I’m more comfortable with this type of angle brush yet a good sharp and thin angled liner brush was hard to find in BD until I found Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush.

Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush has pink color smooth synthetic bristles, the color is fun and synthetic bristle makes it easy to clean. Bristles also has finely sharp edge, bends easily while working with it. The brush body is quite sturdy and has matte finishing which makes it look sleek. I have been using this brush for couple of months now I found it very easy to work with, I’m pretty sure this is going to last forever.

If you like angle brush to line your eyes and looking for a budget brush then I highly recommend you to give Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush a try. This brush is a steal for the price and quality.
