YBP Makeup Perfector in Lust - Review & Price

Hi beauties,

As we all know beauty/makeup world is being bombarded with a number of beauty blender which comes in different size, shape & color, a good BB can entirely change your makeup experience. Recently I have come across a new beauty makeup perfector from the brand YBP- Your Beauty Pal! It's a new launch in the month of June & since that day it has become the most rave product in the Indian market & a topic of discussion among all makeup beauty gurus. Read on to find out more:

Price : Rs. 999/-

Availability : ybpcosmetics.com

Packaging : YBP makeup perfector comes in a multi-functional travel container. It is really travel friendly packaging, comes in cylindrical plastic container with brand name imprinted on it. This container has tiny holes which made it so unique & classy to surpass air for the wet sponge to dry easily while you are on travel or otherwise. It also comes with a round tin lid which is used to pour your liquid foundation for instant use, can be wash to use it all over again.

Colors Available : It comes in two color- white & black. White named as naked while Black named as lust. I picked up Lust!

My take on the product :

The moment I had this in my hand, it felt super soft & cushiony. It has perfect tear drop shape, latex free which makes this perfector inimitable. When it is dry, it is small in size - when it gets wet it enlarges & becomes a size bigger. Squeeze all the excess water and wait for ten minutes to use this for liquid or cream based products. See the pic below :

YBP makeup perfector seamlessly blends any makeup means whether it liquid or powder foundation, concealer, blush, compacts, highlighter onto your skin using dabbing motion without leaving your skin cakey or heavy, skin feels like it has no makeup on it which is really commendable for this humid weather & I was amazed by how flawless makeup base it has created, you can see that in pictures below.

The tip shape can be use for concealer application in the inner corner & round base shape can be use for liquid or powder foundation application. It can be best used for contouring as well. Using this for past two weeks & washed couple of times after use it hasn't torn or changed it's shape. This has become my HG makeup perfector from past few days. Since it is easy to wash & the unique storage container makes it really effortless to air dry on its own. I don't own the original beauty blender so can't compare this but it is far much better than real techniques miracle sponge.

Final Thoughts : YBP makeup perfector in lust has become my HG beauty blender because of its ultimate cushiony & spongy texture. It comes with one of a kind multi-functional container which has holes in it so that you can keep your cleaned & washed makeup perfector for air dry on its own. A complete way to use any base makeup product! Without any second thought I would highly recommend this to every makeup lover! Thank You Payal!
Get these from there website which I have linked above.

Will I repurchase : A definite Yes! Will be stocking up Naked this time.

GC Rating : 5/5

Kala Chasma Featuring Katrina Kaif Makeup Look - Movie Baar Baar Dekho

Hey everyone,

Ever since I have seen the song Kala Chasma featuring Katrina Kaif & Siddharth Malhotra from the movie Baar Baar Dekho, I was stunned by Katrina's dance moves & her toned body. She is looking outstanding & I was intrigued to replicate her Green bindi & Kala Chasma look.

In the song most of times she is wearing kala chasma (as the song theme) & we couldn't see her eye makeup properly but in the middle of the song there is little bit glimpse of her eye makeup where I think it is soft subtle brown smokey eye without any hint of liner with light peachy pink lips. So here is my makeup breakdown below:

1) Prep your eye lid with eye cream & wait for few minutes. Add a touch of concealer to even out the skin tone.

2) Take the shade Drama from Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro 1 palette on blending brush & blend well in the crease.

3) In this step take the shade Afflicted from the same palette on eye shadow brush & apply it all over the lid.

4) Blend well both the colors using a little bit of shade Drama on blending brush.

5) In this step apply the Inglot freedom system eye shadow no. 421 on the outer part of the lid using eye shadow brush.

6) Again blend it well so that there are no harsh edges.

7)  This look has no liner so instead of that I just lined my upper lashline using Lakme eyeconic brown kajal & with the angled liner brush fill the gaps remaining using the shade Pitch from the same palette as it is matte black shade.

8) In this step I lined my lower lash line using the same Lakme brown kajal & smudged it with the shade Drama & Afflicted using a smudger brush.

9) Applied a little bit more concealer on my under eye, highlighted the inner corner using the shade Need from the same palette, filled my brows using the shade afflicted, applied Green bindi & sindoor & completed the look with lots of mascara.

10) The finished look!

Have a look on the pictures!

Product used for Face:

1) LA Roche Posay Effclar duo+ cream. click here
2) Za perfect fit liquid foundation shade OC10.
3) Star cosmetics orange corrector for under eyes.
4) Maybelline Fit me concealer shade- Light.
5) Chambor silver shadow compact shade- RR2.
6) The Balm Mary-lou-manizer to highlight.
7) Maybelline cheeky glow blush shade- Peachy sweetie.
8) The Balm Bahama Mama bronzer for contouring.
9) Maybelline BB stick to highlight under eye.

Product used for Eyes:

1) Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro 1 palette shade- drama, afflicted, pitch & need.
2) Lakme eyeconic kajal brown.click here

Top 5 Brown Eyeliner/Kajal in India : Review, Price & Swatches

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are enjoying beautiful monsoon weekend! So, today I will be talking about my top favourite brown eyeliners/kajals. Actually I prefer colored liners when in mood to play with colors & brown is my top pick because it looks really subtle yet classy, could be smoked out to give you soft smokey look especially in summers, I conventionally stop using black eyeliners/kajals in order to avoid panda eyes in this hot & humid weather but bronzy brown is the exquisite shade for fair to medium complexions ladies. To find out more nitty-gritty which are my top picks, read on..

Rimmel London Scandaleyes - 003 Bad Girl Bronze (Rs 415)

This is such a beautiful bronze shade which is my cult favourite as an eye shadow base. Its a thick pencil with transparent cap and colored end. Its a little bit on drier side which makes it really tough to smudge once set but shade is so pretty that I have been using this since last 8-10 months. The only drawback is the product wastage while sharpening and mine pencil is on other level means the colored stick has come out from the pencil, now I'm wondering how will I use it, other than that it is affordable shade, easily available on flipkart & nykaa. See swatch below :

Bourjois Paris Contour Clubbing Waterproof - 49 Crazy About Brown (Rs 445)

This is a little bit similar to rimmel's one in context of texture. Its a sleek long colored body pencil which could be easily come across in your makeup stash. It is so comely shade which contain a bit a gold tint to it (see swatch below), have been using this on my waterline. The only drawback with these wooden kajals is the product wastage while sharpening. I think the price is quite affordable and it is the best option for fair skinned ladies to highlight the waterline.

Lakme Eyeconic - Brown (Rs 199)

Lakme eyeconic range has been the most raved kajal in the Indian market but my all time favourite is the shade brown. I'm on my third kajal , damn so addicted to this. It comes in black colored sleek retractable pencil form which is the best way to avoid product wastage. Talking about texture, its soft but sets quickly so one has to smudge it really fast in order to have smokey eye. If you have dry lids, I would suggest you to prime up your lids then it will spread easily without tugging. It stays fairly whole day long without smudging or transferring to socket line. If you're on budget this is the best option. Easily available & quite affordable.

Colorbar Just Smokey - Just Brown (Rs 650)

Colorbar just smokey in shade just brown is such an alluring shade, perfect blend of copper, bronze & gold. It glides on so effortlessly & doesn't budge or smudge for the entire day. It comes in color coded wooden pencil with smudger at the other end. The only drawback is to sharpen the pencil which leads to product wastage, other than that this is my cult favourite. See swatch below:

Lakme Absolute Forever Silk - Earth Line (Rs 425)

As the name suggests forever silk, it is as emollient as silk, glides on like dream, super soft & highly pigmented among these. Lakme kajals comes in retractable pencils form which makes them outstanding & worth trying just because there is no product loss. Due to its silky texture, it can be smudge really effortlessly & stays on for quite long. Price-wise its quite reasonable. Here are the swatches below :

Final Verdict : I love using brown eyeliners in summers because they are not harsh like regular black liners/kajals. My personal favourite is Lakme eyeconic & Colorbar just smokey! Which one are your favourites? Please share your comments below!

Read more : Avene Cleanance Soapless Gel review

Packaging :

La Roche-Posay effaclar foaming gel comes in a sturdy white plastic body & turquoise flip top tube packaging. It'll not be easy to see the amount of product remaining because it is an opaque tube. Its a travel friendly packaging.

My take on the product :

I came across this brand when my skin was in terrible form. My skin is highly sensitive, it broke out so easily. I opt to give this brand a try & I'm happy with the result. It's a french brand & France has been famous for spring water which heals sunburns, acne and redness.

Coming to the review - Its a transparent gel face wash, paraben free, has amiably fragrance, truly light & non-sticky. A pea size drop is enough to clean entire face. It lathers mildly well, cleanses any makeup residue, dirt & impurities without stripping of the skin, keeps the sebum oil in check. On the other hand this was boon to my skin while travelling as my acne was under control, acne scars faded away a bit, whitehead & blackheads were less active. My pores were thanking me to use such stuff. Overall skin looked healthy & refreshed!

Its a 50ml tube, using twice daily can last you more than a month easily.

Recommendations : I highly recommend this La Roche Posay foaming gel to all the girls/ladies out there who have sensitive skin. It's a blessing in disguise! :)

GC Rating : 5/5

Available : Nykaa, Flipkart, Amazon.

Packaging : 

LA Roche Posay Effaclar duo(+) comes in sturdy white color long tube packaging with a twist in cap and slender nozzle. The amount of product remaining cannot be seen because its an opaque tube. Albeit its a travel friendly packaging.

My take on the product :

Its a french brand and France has been famous for there spring water which heals sunburns, acne & acne redness. It is a light weight emollient cream which easily absorbs into the skin without making it greasy & shiny for hours. It really helped me in combating acne when I was on trip. You can see visible difference in your skin within a week, active acne tends to dry, redness around my inner cheeks has calm down, acne scars start fading a bit, kept control on whiteheads & blackheads too. I'm glad I gave this a try, it seriously soothes my skin and has been my HG cream this summer. Only a tiny amount of cream is required to cover the entire face and neck, 40ml tube can last you easily more than one & half month or depends upon how frequently you apply the cream or how inexorable is your acne. See swatch below :

Recommendations : Albeit the price tag is bit high and can be con for some of you but according to me you should splurge in products which gives you utmost result and I would highly recommend this range to all the girls especially teenagers who are suffering from acne due to hormonal changes. I'm really satisfied with the product!
