Fall Makeup with Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette

How I created the eye look:
Fall Makeup with Urban Decay Vice 3
I started of with an eye shadow primer ofcourse. Used Essence I heart stage shadow base and blended that allover the lid. First I took the warm brown shade ‘Downfall’ from Vice3 palette and applied that into the crease area. Then with the shade ‘Alchemy’ defined the crease more and also slightly overdrawn the crease. Applied ‘Sonic’ allover the lid and blended that with crease color ‘Alchemy’. Then with the shade ‘Bondage’ defined the outer corned a bit. Highlighted my brow bone and inner corner with ‘Boby Dazzle’. Lined my upper and lower lash line with ‘Bondage’ and ‘Revolver’ mixed together. I applied Maybelline Colossal turquoise in my lower water line to brighten up the whole eye look. Lastly, applied few coats of Essence Go Wild Lashes mascara.
For Brows Ive used ELF brow kit in mediium.

Sigma 3DHD Kabuki Brush | 3-Dimension Face Makeup Brush, life-changing or not?

Sigma 3DHD Kabuki brush, a brand new and quite innovative face makeup brush by Sigma Beauty. They say, “Experience Beauty in 3D”. Interesting, isn’t it? At first glance, honestly, I thought it is weird to apply face makeup with a triangular-shaped brush! Luckily, It didn’t take me long to understand the unique fact hidden in that triangular shape. So, I got myself one to experience it.

This brush is available in three colors; white, black, and pink. I picked a pink one.

Sigma Beauty Says:

The 3DHD Kabuki is a multi-functional brush engineered to perfection. It was uniquely designed for all areas of the face to apply liquid, cream and powder products uniformly on every curve, crease, and angle. Patent pending.

Ridge: The functional ridge at the top of the brush has the perfect angle to apply liquid, cream or powder products reaching every curve, crease, and angle. Designed with a structure that is effortlessly multifunctional, 3DHD kabuki brush will do all the work for you, without having to move a single muscle of the face.

Double wedge flat surface: Allows application of liquid, cream or powder products on flat or slightly curved areas of the face in two simple steps. First, apply product using one side of the wedge, then use the second (clean) side of the brush to smooth the surface and eliminate any streaks.

Point: The sharp point of the brush can be used for highly precise application of cream, liquid and powder products. The point allows products to be perfectly applied in the under eye area and around the mouth.

Dimensions and density of fibers: The dimensions of the brush head were developed to provide fast product application while the density of the fibers allow for buffing products onto the skin. The fine fibers allow for coverage of skin pores.

My Experience with Sigma 3DHD kabuki brush:

I’ve used the flat top buffer brush to stipple brush from various brands to apply face products. I must say, still the best foundation application I get from the original Beauty Blender. Yet when I’m in the rush I completely depend on brushes because it’s less messy. Earlier I was hooked with Real Techniques buffing brush to apply foundation. Had to use other brushes for concealer. I also had to use a couple of more brushes for overall blending. Sigma 3DHD Kabuki Brush alone replaced all my other brushes.

Sigma 3DHD Kabuki Brush has a super dense perfectly linear measured bristle. The fibers are amazingly soft and the barrel seems to have really high quality. I have been experimenting with it lately. I tried this brush with various kinds of a product like thick, light, cream foundation, and concealer of course.

This brush blends everything effortlessly. It has that perfect size which is not too big or too small for a face. That unique angular edge of the Sigma 3DHD brush easily reaches every impossible corner of the face where I had to use another small brush. Now I apply foundation with this brush and using the same brush I can do my concealing as well.

This brush is also great for precise contouring. Here is one thing to note, for a thin liquid foundation if you use swipe motion with the brush to blend then it leaves streaks. You’ll have to dab or stipple the brush to get a seamless finish. I haven’t used it for powder yet because I like to lightly dust powder. Although, I’m sure it will also be great for powder foundation.

When it comes to clean this brush, I must mention, because of its finer density, it needs more effort than other brushes. I always find some product deep inside the bristle when I deep clean. Therefore, a regular deep clean is a must for this brush if you care about hygiene.


Overall, I’m loving Sigma 3DHD Kabuki Brush from the first use. This one brush saves so much time and delivers that perfect result. I agree with Sigma, it is a multi-functional brush indeed. If you haven’t tried this brush yet I highly recommend you try.

Urban Decay Vice3 Eyeshadow Palette | The Third Edition Of UD VICE Palette

Urban Decay Vice3 Eyeshadow Palette!! Oh My, I also got it like everyone! Couldn’t just ignore this beauty by Urban Decay! I assume you all know, last month Urban Decay released the third version of Vice Palette. I don’t remember craving for the first Vice palette. Last year I skipped UD Vice2 eyeshadow palette as well.

I’m more drawn to vibrant colors when it comes to eyeshadow. I don’t even own any of the famous naked palettes. Can you believe? Yes, I’m not a neutral shadow lover. When I saw Urban Decay came up with this vibrant and perfect ‘me’ type palette I had to get it.


Urban Decay Vice3 Palette is priced at USD$60/SGD$88

Apart from that paper box packaging, Vice3 Palette comes with a matching felt-ish bag. I believe this is purposed to protect the palette. The bag can be re-used for any other purpose, maybe as a makeup pouch.

Vice3 Palette has a nice futuristic design in it. The name ‘Vice’ is embossed on the box. The material of the box is plastic which feels tacky. The printed design is foil-ish which comes off easily. I’m sure the surface of the palette is going to be scratchy very fast! The packaging quality is not satisfactory at all.


Let’s talk about the actual product! Urban Decay Vice3 Palette comes with twenty eyeshadow and a dual-ended brush applicator. The box also has a huge mirror.

Urban Decay claims shadows here are ‘never seen before’. The shades have texture variety as well. There is a good mixture of matte, satin, shimmer and sparkly shade. They are also well pigmented and buttery smooth. Although I find matte ones are not fully matte, they have shimmer in it.

Matte and satin shades occur fallout. Some of them also feel powdery. The shade Truth, Heroine and Bobby Dazzle feels more powdery and less pigmented. However, all other shades are impressive in terms of quality. They work wonderful, blends easily with or without shadow base. This palette is a handy one to create a day to night, soft to smokey or any sort of creative eye look.

Breakdown, Bondage, Sonic, Alchemy, and Downfall are my favorites from the palette. None of the shadows from this palette have any sort of chunky glitter in it.

The palette could have been better in overall quality but it consists of a great variety of colors. There is neutral to bold and cool to warm shade. Nothing too much, nothing too less but perfect. A great holiday palette indeed. Moreover, I’m just way too happy with those burgundy-ish shades. Overall, I like Urban Decay Vice3 Palette.

Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette | Review & Swatch

Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette packaging is that as usual sleek black packaging with a big mirror also comes with a dual tip sponge applicator. As might be expected, Sleek is not available in Bangladesh, I bought it through online. You’ll find some application instruction/suggestion back of the paper pack.

Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette

Every shadow has a name, but that comes printed on a plastic sheet like all other Sleek shadow palettes. This is the face I do not appreciate for any shadow palette. I would love to see the names printed in the palette.

Here’re swatches with no primer or any kind of base…

Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow PaletteSleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette

Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette has that usual sleek quality pigmentation, nothing disappointing at all. You’ll find a variety of texture in this palette, some are matte, some are satin and some are sparkly. Only one shadow called ‘Bow’ is powdery and has poor pigmentation. The shade ‘The Mail’ is a matte warm yellow-cream shade which is similar to my skin tone, so you can’t really see that in the picture. With this Palette, you can easily create any day to night neutral-ish and even smokey eye look.

Overall, I’m satisfied with Sleek Oh So Special Eyeshadow Palette. If you are looking for one budget neutral-ish palette, I would highly recommend this one. I have also reviewed other Sleek Makeup palettes, do check those if you’re keen 🙂

Nivea Soft | A Basic but HG Moisturiser

Nivea Soft | A Basic but HG Moisturiser

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.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

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

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner | Blackest Black

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.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

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

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner

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

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.

[wp_ad_camp_5][/wp_ad_camp_5]

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