MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation | Review & Swatch
MUA Undress Your Skin foundation
Hello there… Hope you all are having a good time!
I guess you remember from my Facebook haul post that I purchased this MUA Undress Your Skin foundation quite a while now.
Yes, yes.. I’m late to post the review.
You all probably know by now that I’m a huge fan of MUA product. When they launched this foundation I felt like I have to try this out because I was in look for a good drugstore foundation for daily use. I was looking for something which will be light on the skin but will provide satisfying coverage and lasting power. The way MUA address this foundation I felt that this might be the one I’m looking for. So, I placed the order.
[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]
Normally they are £5 but when I placed the it was on sale. Its comes in a rose- golden beige color soft squeeze plastic tube. The plastic tube is remarkably soft, some people might find it cheap looking, but I like the softness. The tube contains 35ml of product. Tube opener comes sealed with foil. You’ll need to peel off the foil to get the product out.
This foundation is fragrance free but i feel some kinda chemical like smell, which isnt really pleasant.They have only three shade to select from, Porcelain, beige, golden. I bought the shade beige first. When I got that in hand i was way to excited to try it out but bad luck, that shade was so wrong for me, way to white than my skin tone. So then I ordered the second one in shade golden. This time shade was pretty close to my skin tone and felt happy about that. Later on, i found another way to use both of shade, if i mix both shade together then it makes a another shade which is slightly brighter than my skin tone but wearable. By the way, both shades are in war under tone.

MUA Undress Your Skin foundation

MUA claims about this foundation that it will provide medium to full coverage, will cover imperfections and blemishes whilst maintaining skin’s natural glow, as well as, its light diffusing particle will provide instant radiance. The product is suitable for all skin type as well.
In my experience, the foundation is a water based product which is always my first preference when I pick foundation for my combination skin. About coverage, I’ll say, It doesn’t provide medium to full coverage. It gives sheer to medium coverage which a bit more build-able but no way you can cross the medium level of coverage. It does cover up minor imperfections, but you’ll need concealer if you have dark spots or under eye circle. The texture is smooth, feel light on the skin, blend seamlessly and little goes a long way. It does give a radiant finish but after an hour or two I felt the radiant turned into shine probably because of  Humid weather and excess oil of skin. Apart from being oily, this foundation stays quite long if you blot oily areas in 2/3 hours. If you are wearing this at evening, it will work just fine. Another good thing is, this didn’t broke me out.
Overall, I’ll definitely say this is a good product according to the price. However, this didn’t work for me well as I expected. I would love if they had more shade variety. I strongly believe this a perfect foundation for those who have a fair complexion and living in a cold place.

Lakme CC Cream | A Quick & Easy Makeup Product for Oily Skin

Lakme CC Cream | A Quick & Easy Makeup Product for Oily Skin

The whole beauty world is flooding by BB, CC and DD creams these days. I wonder soon I’ll be craving for a ‘ZZ’ cream. Jokes apart, what is a CC cream? The word ‘CC’ stands for Color Correction or Complexion Care. This sort of product aims to give a better solution for uneven skin tone, an instant improvement on skin texture, fresh feeling as well as healthy glow. However, CC cream is nothing but an advanced stage of a BB cream.
Without talking further let me tell you about Lakme CC Cream that I’ve been kind of loving recently.

Packaging wise Lakme CC cream is quite nice than other drugstores one. Comes in a golden beige sleek tube with metallic silver lid cap. The hot pink paper cartoon surely caught my eyes. The tube itself is firm enough and travel-friendly as well. Tube contain 30ml of product and comes in two different shade, Beige, and Bronze. Smells almost nothing but like all other Lakme product.

As because Lakme CC cream is totally made for Indian/South Asian market, so their both shades are toned in yellow. The shade Beige is for a lighter skin tone and the shade Bronze is for the darker tone. They might seem a bit more yellow-ish for skin but somehow its blends amazingly into the skin and turns into a perfect color. I picked the Bronze shade for me and I’m fully impressed with the shade.

Coming to the texture, it gives a quite satisfying result. It is not thin like a BB cream but almost closed to a foundation, easily bendable and lightweight. Provides up to medium coverage with a smooth velvety matte finish. Covers up minor spots and blemishes but for a dark spot, you’ll need a concealer. Though it’s matte in texture but do adds radiant in the skin. Nicely works if you topped up with powder without being cakey. If you have oily skin then you might notice shine but after 3/4 hours, even in a humid weather, this fact definitely amused me. If you are prone to oxidization then you might face that (only if you directly exposed to the sun). Lakme CC Cream contains SPF 20 which is good but I would suggest you not to skip your daily sun care product. This SPF level is not enough to protect you from the harsh sun.yeah,

I have been using it for a month now and another good thing is it didn’t cause any breakout at all. Overall, this a decent product for your go-to makeup.

Wait… there is some negative part as well. If you have flawless skin then it’s a perfect product for you. Whereas, if you have dry and flaky patches on your skin then this CC cream is going embarrass you badly. I don’t know why but somehow this cream highly emphasizes all dry section of the skin. I don’t always have flaky skin issue but whenever I’m lazy to exfoliate my skin well I do notice some dry patches here and there. Honestly, I haven’t faced this sort of dry patch emphasizing issue with any product before. Even if I apply moisturizer prior to applying Lakme CC cream that doesn’t seem to work at all. Somehow it just gets into those dry patches. I wonder how it’s gonna work for dry skin!
Anyways, if you don’t have a dry patch issue then you can defiantly go for Lakme CC Cream. This is a great product for daily use if you need something more than a BB cream or tinted moisturizer.  In fact, the coverage it gives, you’ll eventually forget the need of your daily foundation.

Garnier BB Cream Miracle skin perfector

Garnier BB Cream Miracle skin perfector
Garnier BB Cream is probably its the most hyped product in Bangladesh from last 6 months, as well as, a most requested review. I apologize to all my reader that I took so long to review this product. Garnier BB cream miracle skin perfector is almost widely available in BD from last 6 months. They come in 2 size tube. 18g which costs around tk275/- and 40g costs around tk500/-
Garnier BB Cream
Garnier BB Cream claims to give fairer, glowing, even toned and smooth skin. It say’s that it will blur out any imperfection. Has got SPF 24 in it which is obviously nice to have a day cream.
The product smells okay to me and it has a nice and smooth texture. This is an Indian version which doesn’t offer any shade variety.
Keep in mind that like all other BB cream this is also nothing but a tinted moisturizer, it doesn’t do any miracle literally. Garnier BB cream has the lightest coverage or i can say almost no coverage. After applying skin feel a bit brighter and glowing and after powdering shine goes away but left some kind of natural smooth healthy glow.
Now to start the depth review i need to say some pre-history about Garnier BB cream.
I first got to know Garnier BB Cream back in 2011 in UK. That version of  Garnier BB  use to come in 2 shades, light and medium, I picked the shade medium that time. As far as i can remember from my previous experience it was in a bit thicker consistency, almost like a tinted foundation, coverage was same as now. The shade medium was a bit light for my skin tone but the more i use to rub and blend it into the skin the more it use to get darken n thicker, as a result the shade use to fit in my skin tone perfectly. Most impressive side for me was i didn’t get any oily feeling that time.
So, i fell in love with it.
Garnier BB cream Swatch
blended..
Later on, when i found it available on BD i got quite excited to try it out again, though was a bit confused aswell because of hot and humid weather of BD. Anyways, i bought the smaller tube first. It was in february,2013.. i guess… ! End of the winter…
The first reaction of re-using Garnier BB cream was impressive. I started loving that again. It did felt nicely moisturized but matte after applying, blend very smoothly, use to last long, worked with other face product amazingly. Within few days it became my favorite everyday product.
The small tube last about a month or more.. then i purchased my 2nd one.. the 40g tube. By this time summer has been started, it was highly hot and humid as usually. After using a week in summer I started realize that my BB cream is not performing good as it use to be in cold weather. My face started getting oily within 2 hour and also if i put makeup on then it was sliding horribly!
So, i had so stop using it for summer. I must mention, I have combination skin type. I didnt face any breakout caused by this product and also didnt face any oxidization issue.
Overall, my thought about Garnier BB Cream is, if you have combination to oily skin this is not the summer product for you but it is a great product to use in winter.
This is it for today.

At Home Skin Care routine

At Home Skin Care routine
Now Eid is gone… surely, we all went through lot of makeup during these whole holiday period. But wait, I hope after all these you haven’t forgot to take care of your skin.. 
have you?
I mean, yes, we did clean our face end of the day but you know what your skin was being pressurized and exhausted because of everyday makeup. So now when the holiday is over you should give your skin a good treat.

How…??? Lets discuss it in my ‘at home’ way..
Cleansing
Cleansing is arguably the most important part of your basic skincare routine. Proper cleansing helps you to get rid of old skin cells, dirt and dust, grime, make-up and bacteria, and keeps skin pores free of clogs and able to breathe freely. Cleansing also aids circulation and prepares the skin to receive topically applied nutrients and lipids.
Take few drops of oil such as baby oil or olive oil in a cotton pad or cleansing strips and wipe off your makeup. You can use cleansing milk if you want. Choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type. Do not use soap on facial skin, it can be too harsh and drying and damage skin over time.
If you like herbal thing then go for milk, cream yogurt/ sour curd or honey. They are great as a cleanser.
Gently rub that to skin for a minute and Wash off with water. Always cleanse with warm water because cold water doesn’t dissolve and take away embedded dirt and grime as well as lukewarm water.
Exfoliate
Take your preferred facial scrub with your fingertips or a soft sponge or a facial brush if you have. Apply it using gentle circular massaging strokes and moving upward on the face and neck. Do not scrub too much, too much scrubbing will stretch skin and irritate it, especially the delicate skin around the eyes.
Ground almond, lentil, oats and potato paste works great as an herbal scrub.
Rinse with lots of water. Don’t forget to rinse off from the neck and hairline otherwise residue can clog pores. Use a mild exfoliating scrub with finger tips for daily use. If you using facial brush then use that once a week only.
Taking care of pores n texture
Take ice cube and rub through the face for a minute or two. This will help to minimize pores, redness and any inflammation happened during exfoliation.
Now take your face pace or mask and apply that, wait 15-20min then wash off. 
You can always go for herbal product such as Sandal wood, fuller’s earth, turmeric paste etc or any home made pack you prefer.
Do clean your face with a cleanser again after applying face pack otherwise residue can clog pores and cause breakout.
Toning and Moisturizing
Follow immediately with a water-based toner and a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type to seal in surface moisture.
An alcohol-based toner strips off natural oils; Gentle toners calm the skin and balance pH levels. Choose gentle, alcohol-free versions. Use astringent if you have oily skin.


*Usually i do this process at night before going bed. I believe, this way my skin gets proper time to rest and rejuvenate. I use my night cream instead of moisturizer. 
So, guys…. a clan and healthy face is the most beautiful face. Don’t be lazy to treat your skin well.
Hope this post will help you…. take care till the next post 🙂

How to do Blue Glam Eye Look for Eid-ul -FITR

How to do Blue Glam Eye Look for Eid-ul -FITR
Hey there…
Eid-ul-Fitr 2013 is here..
what color you wearing this Eid ???
My saree is a combination of blue and orange 🙂
So thought to do a tutorial featuring blue..
If i wear my saree at Eid night then I’ll surely do this look.
Its with gorgeous glitter and so glam, isnt it ??
If you wearing white or any blue this eye look will definitely go with your wardrobe.

Lets start the tutorial…
yes yes,, make a nice base for your eye first. I used Nyx Jumbo pencil in Milk here on the upper part because some light color will go there.. Other half i just left with foundation.
Apply a cream color in your brow bone and an orange color in upper crease as the picture shown.
Apply a bright blue in rest of the eye lid but leaving the crease a bit.
Apply violet in the crease….
Now, blend everything nicely.
Tight line your lower lash line with kajal and blend that with violet shadow you used previously in crease.
Yeh, its time for glitter… Apply your glitter base on the blue part only (i used LaSplash eye shadow base here) and then pat your blue glitter over that. Give it a minute to dry. Then dust any fall out..
Now, line your eyes with a liquid eye liner and put on generous amount of mascara… you are done 🙂
Here’s my finished look….
Product I’ve used here:
*Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk
*BH cool matte palate for cream orange n violate shade
*10tk pan eyeshadow for blue
*LA Splash eye shadow base/sealer
*Non brand glitter(10/15tk)
*Ioni liquid liner in black
*Loreal feather lash mascara in black
*Ioni matte lipstick in shade Natural
Note:
*You can use clear lip gloss, eye-lash adhesive as a glitter base or you can certainly use if you have the original glitter base thing.
*Apply powder underneath your eye before applying glitter. This will help you to remove glitter fall out later on.
*If you wondering about the base, I did heavy base makeup with pancake here. I also posted a tutorial earlier on How To Do Makeup With Pancake. Do give that a check if you’re just thinking to start with pancake, panstick and all those stuff.
So, did you liked the look??
Are you gonna try it??

Do not forget to show me if you gonna wear it in this Eid, ok ???

Warm wishes for you all… Have a happy Eid

Eid Mubarak

…Take Care…

How to do Everyday Makeup | Base makeup

How to do Everyday Makeup | Base makeup

Apology for my delay in posting the ‘Stage 3: Light’ base makeup tutorial. Previously I’ve posted other two techniques of base makeup Makeup With Foundation and Heavy Base Makeup | Makeup With Pancake. Have you checked those? If you haven’t yet then don’t forget to read them out. Today’s post is about light base makeup or actually, I should say Everyday makeup. It’s a pretty simple and fast process to do which is suitable for your go-to makeup routine. If you are going out for college, office or maybe grocery shopping this process is great to make you look polished without wearing and doing so much.

Products for Everyday Makeup:

  • A light coverage foundation/tinted moisturizer or BB cream
  • Concealer (this is a must in my opinion).
  • Setting powder/ pressed powder

Process:

First, apply your foundation/tinted moisturizer/BB cream. BB cream or tinted moisturizer is best for this purpose because it will give you a light and no makeup feeling. You definitely don’t wanna feel so much when you go out for a regular task. If you are choosing foundation (read my review on Nars Skin Tint is my recent favorite), make sure you choose a light/sheer coverage one, which will be comfortable throughout the time and you will able to feel your skin.

How to do Everyday Makeup

After the BB cream/foundation, it’s time for concealer. Take your concealer and cover up those imperfections you want to hide. Blend your concealer as nicely as you can. Under eye area might need a tad more of concealer to make you look awake.

How to do Everyday Makeup

Then take your setting/pressed powder and lightly swipe all over the face. The powder will soak off all excess oil from your face and mattify your skin. Give a few minutes to set the powder and you are ready to move on to the next step like doing your eyes or else. If you have dry skin, you will be good to go after applying concealer but if your skin is on the oily side like mine you’ll notice a huge shine and you’ll need to powder that off.

How to do Everyday Makeup

And that’s it. Wasn’t it an easy process? Additionally, If you have a setting spray (read my review on ELF Makeup Setting Spray) you can use that now but that’s totally optional. If you going out for long then you might need to blot and touch up in 2/3 hour. For that keep your blotting tissue or powder with you and whenever you feel oily just touch up your powder or blot excess oil.

PS: Choose your concealer as close as possible to your skin tone. If you’re prone to oxidizing, choose a shade lighter pressed powder than your skin tone.

Hope this helps you. Do let me know your opinion or question in the comment box below.

Ioni Matte Lipstick in shade Sexy Fuchsia | Review & swatch
Hello there Beautiful,
TodayI’mm reviewing another lipstick by Ioni cosmetic. It’s from their matte range, called ‘sexy fuchsia’. Worth: BDT 150/-

Ioni Lipstick swatch | Sexy Fuchsia


About the color

Sexy Fuchsia is a muted true fuchsia which is pretty close to Cabernet(review here) but a bit intensified. The color shows up more bright in the light. If you are a fuchsia lover then you gonna love to wear Sexy fuchsia by Ioni every day.
Ioni Lipstick swatch | Sexy Fuchsia


My Experience with Ioni Sexy Fuchsia

Packaging is simple, smart looking but not durable enough. You might get crack on lid and lipstick might come off from the tube during rough use. Smells somewhat sweet but last for few minute after applying and won’t smell anything after a while. Finish is creamy but turned out nice matte after applying yet not drying at all. Last so long even if you eat or drink. Will leave strong stain throughout the day unless you remove it with your makeup remover.
Overall, I don’t hate anything about this lipstick. In fact, I love the shade. After all, what else you can expect with this budget price! Strongly recommend this product if you looking for a budget friendly but a quality product.

Review & Swatch: Ioni Lipstick Cabernet

Review & Swatch: Ioni Lipstick Cabernet
Hello there,
First review from a beauty brand discovery, Ioni Cosmetics.
This is the first time I’m going to review a product by Ioni Makup.
Let me tell you something about the brand,
Ioni makeup is a concern of Jhon Davler, Inc ; La, USA.
Its been almost a year they are available in Bangladesh.
I remember, its been around 8/9 months first time i bought Ioni product without any clue about the product or quality…. !!
But now I can say, Im a fan of them since my first use. 
Their product range is supper affordable yet good in quality.
However, Lets come to the topic… 
Ioni lipstick in shade Cabernet from matte range.
Worth: BDT 150/-
You’ll find it in any cosmetic store who is having Ioni cosmetics.

About the color:
Cabernet is a muted blue toned dark fuchsia. The color looks more deep in tube but shows up lighter in lip. Color shows up even more lighter fuchsia depending on light.
This is such an unique color to have in your collection.
I must say, Cabernet is my favorite color from whole Ioni Lipstick range.
About the product:
Firstly, i found the packaging is simple yet quite cheeky though not sturdy enough !
While using roughly, the lid might get cracks in the end and the lipstick might come off from tube.
But i don’t bother that, it happened with only one between eight of my Ioni lipstick.
Smells somewhat sweet, I don’t know which i can compare that with but it doesn’t bother me.
As I mentioned before, Its from their matte range.
Matte mean It is soo matte but not drying at all, which is the reason i fell in love with this lipstick.
Color pigmentation is fantastic, smooth in texture and one swipe is enough to get the color.
You can build up color if you want, trust me it wont give any patchiness. 
Lasts like forever, even if you eat or drink… 
There is a thing which you might not like, it stains lip quite strongly, i guess that’s why it lasts long.
In my case, i don’t mind the stain, eventually, i like lipstick which stains.
However, don’t worry much, the stain not gonna sit on your lip forever, it easily comes off with baby oil or Vaseline. 
Last word,
I love it, i think you’ll love it to. Give it a try if you haven’t yet.
I feel kind of bad blogger that I’m reviewing this product after this long.. apology please !!
Take care till the nest post.
