Happy Now??? Goooooooood :)

So, I'm  back with my 2nd Review.. After such a long time... Read my first, A magic revealed, HERE :)

As you all know by now that I don't use make-up!! why? Firstly, I don't like it on my skin! Secondly, I don't know how to wear it:P .. and Lastly, I don't like it on my skin!!
But anyways, I had to purchase them due to The Big Fat Indian Wedding! Remember?:)

So these are the 3 eyeliners I bought from Maybelline and one Foundation whose review I'll do later ...
Moving on,

You know the tagline of Maybelline?? "Maybe she is born with it, maybe it's Maybelline" 

I bought 2 colors intially, Pink Pearl and Violet Pearl.. I loved them so much that I bought Gold too :D

The Range: Maybelline Vivid & Smooth.

What they say?

• Vivid color & Smooth Application ensure that eyes will never be dull again.
• Available in 12 stunning shades to match your every mood!
• So easy to apply, you can now be your own makeup artist.

Expert tip: Apply along your lash-line from the inner to the outer corners.

Purchased from: Lifestyle, Great India Place at 15% discount

Shelf life: My eyeliner says, use before 10/13 .. I bought it in January, so it is approximately 2 years!


What I personally like about the eyeliner:

• Smooooooooooth and easy to glide-on
• Smudge-proof and water-resistant
• Gives a nice shade on one glide.
• Has various color options, Bordeaux pearl, Violet Pearl, Olive, Pink pearl, Lavender pearl, Gold, Metallic silver, Peacock green, Ocean blue and Ice blue
• Affordable and easily available
• Cheaper than other available brands like Revlon, Lakme, Chambor etc.

What I dislike about the eyeliner:

• All the colors you see, are really light!!! You have to apply 2-3 times to make it slightly darker!

That's it for me :)

Price: M.R.P. INR 200 ... After discount, INR 170

My Favorite color: It has to be Violet Pearl since it is darker and is visible on my skin!!!

Swatches: Shown below!

Left: Pink Pearl and Lavender Pearl, Right: Gold .. Gold is very very light- All One Glide!

My verdict:

.

..

...

....

.....

I Love it!! It is simple and looks sober on eyes :)

Will I buy it again?

I don't think so.Unless someone instills a make-up streak in me! ;) Else I Highly Recommend it to girls who want a simple, day-to-day wear/evening look :)

My Rating:

4.90/5.0 (Deducted rating due to lightness upon applicability!)

Magic + Giveaway Winner + Special Packaging

Hola beauties!
How is everybody feeling today? If you are low then worry not, I'm here with 3 things that will surely bring a smile to your face :)

PART ONE

MAGIC REVEALED

Remember in the last post I told you about my shiny magic? Well if you forgot what the last post was about, then I recommend you read this.

So here it is...

Two days before New Year, my younger brother gifted this lovely thing. Of course I gave him a gift too *smirks*..

It is a 3-way nail buffer by QVS. Surprised??? No? :( Awww Please be surprised :P

Well at least for some girls like me, who don't know much about lipsticks or eye-shadows, this is a magic.. I will review it for you :)

What is QVS?

QVS- Quality, Value, Style: That's the Beauty of QVS -offers a wide range of personal care products within the health and beauty category. They specialize in personal care products with special focus on cosmetic, nail, bath and travel accessories.

What did I purchase and from where?

I purchased a 3-way nail buffer for getting a shine on nails: from New U!

What is a 3-way nail buffer?

A 3-way nail buffer is an easy and handy tools for girls who want super shiny nails in between manicures or anytime. It gives an instant shine on toenails as well!

What does it comprise of?

As you have seen above, it comprises of 3 sides namely,

Dark Grey- To smooth lines/ridges.

Purple- For satin soft touch

Light Grey- For super shine.

Sorry for the bad photography! That is my shadow :D

Does it have anything else to offer?

A Big YES! It improves circulation to the nail bed which promotes healthy nail growth! What else do we need??

Price??? 

INR-110

Did it help me?

See the Lines: Bad :\

1. Nails before applying QVS 3-way nail buffer

2. Step 1: Used the dark grey side in light circular motion

Note: Rome was not built in a day! It takes time for ridges to go away. Have patience :)

3. Step 2: Back and forth motion, purple side. 

4. Step 3: Light grey side- sideway strokes.

My verdict!

A total paisa-vasool! oops sorry.. Worth the money! It gave me a Super Shiny and clean nails! My brother also asked me to do it on his nails. haha

Check my previous post for the full look!

Rating

4.75/5

Cons:

The dark grey side spoils quickly if you have thick lines/ridges.

Will I buy it again?

Of course!!!!!!! It has so many cool products like hair clips, rubberbands etc. So cute :D

And a bigger version of nail buffers too.. Just for INR-185! :)

So do check it out!
