FOTD: my favourite daytime look for summer

I was asked to do a post on daytime summer look.
So, here it is…..For pinky lovers(like me) its a perfect day time look i think.
When its a Summer day,weather is extra hot and you gotta go for work you don’t wanna put a load of makeup on you face. You cant go with a naked face either… So then you’ll need to pick you makeup very wisely. Which will be a polished look, also wont be a disaster end of the day.
Normally, i dont use shadows on my working day but sometimes i do, just to get some change in my look.
This makeup looks very natural and clean on day light with a bit of pink freshness.
here’s what i used….

FACE:
*Everyday moisturizer(currently um using OLAY)
*Neutrogena sport face sunblock
*MUA face primer
*Revlon color stay concealer
*Revlon color stay translucent powder
*Keya Seth’s umbrella sun powder
*MUA bronzing powder in shade 2
*Fashionista blush in shade 9
*BeautyUK stripey as highlighter

EYE’s:

*from MUA immaculate palette(shade 8,17n18)

*Lakme khol liner
*Miss Sporty brown liner
*Rimel london day 2 night mascara

*MUA transparent mascara for brows

LIP’s:

*LA Gitl’s endless kisses lipstic
I haven’t applied any foundation or eye primer here to avoid feeling heavy. I cleaned and moisture my face first and put some sunblock. Used primer and no foundation with a bit of concealer (..I do wanna hide redness and unwanted spots) and obviously translucent powder to prevent sweating.
I kept very easy on eyes here but applied some extra coat of mascara. Light touch of blush n bright pinky lip did rest of the job here.
products mostly I’ve used for this look

Review: MUA(Makeup Academy) Face Primer

14

Firstly, what a Face primer actually is?
Primer is a combined agent of silicone and moisturizer manly which helps to make a good base for applying foundation or any makeup . It creates an even and soft layer over skin what helps makeup to stay longer, blend easily, evenly, and prevent sliding off foundation in general.

This Primer is a new product of MUA Pro range. its worth £4 for 27ml tube.
I was pretty excited to try this primer because its hard to get a good face primer in this low price and ofcourse all MUA product i tried before were amazing.

This product claims to give a flawless even complexion. It says,” a velvety smooth formula that feels light on skin and creates a flawless even complexion which you can wear alone or under foundation for long lasting finish and ‘ll last all day”.
(from Back caption of the product and website disclaimer )

It took me long to understand this product. I’ve been wearing different kind of face primers whatever they are cheap or pricey. But this time i was in judging mood, so its natural to take time.

This is an water based primer which is perfect to use with a water based foundation.

I’m a working lady. I’ve to stay out atleast 6-8 hour a day. Precisely, i do a little touch up when i go out. Bangladesh is mainly a hot country. You sweats all the time when you go out unless its an AC place. Its really difficult here to keep you makeup looks right.
For two week’s i was trying this product.and it made me real confuse. Sometime it was okay and sometime it felt like disaster.

First disappointment… when i was trying it for the first time, tube cap just pop out !!! Is it normal to came out like this? I don’t think so. May be it happened only with my one ! But the thing is, this primer is very watery than other primers. Without this tube nozzle when you push it whole lot of primer come out than you need…

As because its a water based primer its really good for hot weather. It does feel smooth and light on skin and doesn’t make you oily or create any allergic reaction (my skin is very sensitive and allergic). Usually than other primer you need a bit more of MUA primer to cover your face because of the runny consistency. You’ll need to wait minimum 2-3 minute after applying this to set it on skin.  Only then you can expect a good finish for your foundation or powders.
You surely cannot use it alone because the coverage its provide just the same as moisturizer even looks glossy. Its not gonna clear out redness of your skin or cover up any spots what you wanna hide. you’ll need atleast translucent powder if you want a no makeup look.

After trying this for two weeks, i’ll say its not the primer to last all day(if its cold weather it might). it works okay max 4-5 hour and then your foundation start creasing and time on ‘ll slide off.

Lastly, um not so happy with this but um not unhappy either. I can say, its not a shockingly impressive product. Its just an okay product to use. It does give good finish when you apply it. And yeh, the price is cheap for a primer but you can also get a better primer than this in the same price(out of Bangladesh). If you are a regular user of makeup and you need to stay out for hours a day, i’ll suggest you to go for cheaper primer(only if u need to think of ur money). Other than, for occasional use you can get a high end primer.

This is totally my opinion for MUA primer, other might say something else…

Review/ swatch/look: MUA immaculate palette

6
As i said in my previous blog, i absolutely like MUA immaculate collection palette. now after trying this palette um loving it. great thing is it didn’t make me disappoint. i was a bit tensed before trying MUA Pro palettes. i thought it might not be good as MUA single eye shadows… my thinking was wrong… they are really good.

except the white one… all are good. easily bendable, very pigmented, doesn’t fall out, doesn’t crease easily, and stays long without any primer.
that white one is to powdery to use.

back of the palette shades number has been included and a eyelook instruction aswell. i created that look rather than swatch each n every color. though it would be more helpful to understand the quality of shades.

i haven’t use any kind of eye primer here….
inner corner: shade15
outer corner: shade19
crease: shade14
brow bone: shade12
(i was suppose to use shade20/ white one, in the very inner corner. i tried but it didnt work out at all)
if you wondering about my mascara… its Rimel London day to night.

as you can see, without primer they are just supper pigmented. i wore this look a whole day, like around 6/7 hours,and it didn’t fade away at all. this is definetly going to be my favorite one.

MUA(makeup academy) Pro Range haul and first impression….

4
i bought these MUA stuff at the starting of MUA website launching. As i am in Bangladesh so it took me long to get the product in my hand. when i got my delivery i was sooo happy to see my MUA products and thought its worth waiting.

product’s are__
* POPTASTIC eyeshadow palette
*HEAVEN AND EARTH eyeshadow palette
*Face Primer
*IMMACULATE collection eyeshadow palette
all these are from MUA’s PROrange.

* POPTASTIC eyeshadow palette  
this palette worth £4. 

POPTASTIC eyeshadow palette
Back look
closer look of the shades

Reason behind picking this palette is its super vibrant color. as you can see, all shades are so attractive and Specially its yellow pot attract me the most. i’ve been searching long for this yellow shade.  all colors are perfect to create bright looks. though i think it would be a perfect palette with a darker green or bottle green shade. i’m missing that shade here.

*HEAVEN AND EARTH eyeshadow palette  
worth: £4

HEAVEN AND EARTH eyeshadow palette
Back look
closer look of the shades

these shades are collection of neutral or you can say bronze shades. perfect for everyday wear and if you want to make nude looks. Or this palette can be useful with your any other color, because there you getting highlighter, crease color or outer blender to make your eye look perfect.
i would recommend this palette as a must have rather thank any high end nude palette..

*Face Primer 
worth: £4
haven’t tried yet. it looks okay though i think i expected a bit bigger tube and good finished packaging.

*IMMACULATE collection eyeshadow palette 
worth: £8 (but i got it for free in a promotional offer)

this palette pleased me the most. it is so big than i expected. i was so so so happy to see this. 

all the shades consist here is awesome. they can give you any kinda look… lighter to darker not matter, this palette is enough. its just more than perfect for travel bag i think :)…. cant explain how much i loved loved loved it…
this is along worth my long term shopping at MUA.

shades number are given in the back side of the palette . these numbers gave me thought that shades of this palette might be collection of MUA single shades… not sure though.

***end thought:
someone might say about packaging. yeh, its kinda tacky but its okay with their cheap price. additionally, they are very lightweight which i like.
i bought all these from MUA website except poptastic(from superdrug)
delivery charge was around £3.
as my first impression so far it is so good. lets try… then ‘ll see how happiness last. But i have faith on MUA, i’v been their fan since i was in UK. that time they didn’t have their Pro range. i must say, their single eye shadows were absolutely awesome and all other products as well .

i’ll be posting swatches and reviews as soon as i get time…. keep connected peeps. do not forget to post your views about my blog and click the follow button.

i have been waiting sooooo long for this package to come…..

ages ago…i mean around in first of January i did some online shopping from UK. as because i don’t live there anymore so i had to post my products to one of my friends. and start waiting when he will send that to me here in Bangladesh. well, every one is busy with their life, so he took 3 month to post. i was pretty worried, is it gonna com or not… last time one of my package was missing. why, my friend always write wrong address… !!!! and also he did the same thing, wrote wrong address, but luckily he include phone number…. anyways, royal mail took 2 weeks to deliver my package. i was so happy yesterday when postal department called me to pic my parcel.

Review: Extreme dry skin and Dove intensive cream

4
I have always been a fan of Dove products and a regular user of their moisturize, soaps, and shampoos.
my skin is kinda combine type or i can say very close to dry skin. when i think of moisturizer i need to pic something more hydrating or deep moisturizing .i prefer lotion for body care and normally i use cream as face moisturizer . this season i pic Dove intensive cream.  

i have to say, like all dove products the cream smells lovely. packaging is standard, clean and simple in design . I bought it for BDT 220/- . internationally its available at  £3 or £4.

as you can see, this container contain a whole lot of product. 150ml! which is definitely worth of price. Additionally, a small amount goes along way with this cream, a point of your finger will be enough to cover your face with luxurious softness. my 150ml pot seems to last forever.



now… what happened with me… it wasn’t the perfect one for me. why ? take a look picture… their info says, its suitable for very dry skin. i missed this info when i bought it. my face has got combine or normal dry skin. it turned out too oily and kinda greasy when i applied on my face. 
its so not for my face but i definitely recommend it if you have got very dry skin. 

other hand, it is a good product to use for hand and foot care. it gives your hand/foot the whole day nourishment. the cream isn’t too oily for hand/foot. it seems gentle and is absorbed pretty quickly into the skin. in Bangladesh its hard to find a good hand/foot care cream. so, if you are looking for hand/foot care product, i will recommend you to go for Dove intensive cream. as, now it is my everyday hand/foot care product.

Those lines are quoted from my daily notebook, which I used to write… a couple of years back. From my younger age, I think it was one of my bad habits to write daily notes/diary! Umm… bad habit??? Writing can’t be a bad habit. Why I’m saying so? It’s not bad to write down what you feel…. but it is bad when other than you get their hands into your diary….lol. When I realized that I stopped writing 🙂 well, Blogging makes me feels like writing a daily note. That’s why um saying all this.

However, I’ve been thinking over a year now to start writing blogs. Yet don’t know what should I write about… of-course not about my personal feelings 🙂 I used to write in my notebook. Another than…yeh, it can be anything, isn’t it?

Can be beauty blogs, my tours, my dreams, daily life experience….blah blah blah….

My only intention to write on the web is the hope that someone might find something useful out of it. Actually, it feels good to let people know about own experience as well. So… this is gonna be my blog about…. and wishing to continue from now 🙂
