ESTEE LAUDER- Double Wear shadowCreme

So lately i have really gotten in to eyeshadows, new looks, new textures, new application methods and have just been inspired by the versatility of the product.
i always like eyeshadows but limited them to parties and night occasions etc. but i have been experimenting lately and in the process got rather bored of powders alone.
powers are more or less the same, the only thing that differs really is the color pigment and shimmer, shine and sheer if you are using reasonably good products. ( The rest on powder requires a different post altogether)

So cream eye shadows are slightly hard to find especially a good range of them in terms of color and drug store/ high street brands hardly ever make them which is rather upsetting.

So on my hunt for a promising product with a high range of colors i came across ESTEE LAUDER's collection of these lovely pots of luminous color. And i cant even begin to tell you how many shades they have and how each color is so pretty and so unusual from the rest.

i had to control my self and just get 2 of them for trying out and i love them, i got one if the latest colors which is called "smokey plum" No25. i normally dont do for purples but i fell in love with the shade and thought it was so perfect for spring and purples and pastels are this years spring colors and it is just a gorgeous shade of this this deep, fruity, smoky, purple plumish color!
the texture is great, so easy to apply you can literally just rub it on your eye with a finger for a quick look as an alone color or then of course shade the outer corners of your eye with powder shadow and use some liner.

the second color i got is called "Golden Sands"No13, this is a light goldish color, very pretty and perfect for a highlighting your brow bone or using some on your upper check around the eye area(highlighting) and can be used alone on the eye as well! its one of those naturally light colors that are so useful and such a must have!!

i love these eye colors and i think they are so pretty and i just love how lovely creme eyeshadows look and feel...



MaX Factor- FALSE LASH EFFECT

I had heard so much about this mascara and just had to get my hands on it and try it for myself, unfortunately i could not find this particular one is KL and my Fiance Iffy was traveling so i got him to get it for me and he was nice enough to get me both the waterproof and the regular one of this edition.

it was so nice actually trying out a product which i have heard so much about and which actually delivers what it says. i must say this mascara is to die for and is definitely one of the best ones i have tried and has made up its way to my makeup baggy.

i in particular love this mascara because it is just so easy to apply and goes on so easy, its not to watery, not to thick and just with a few strokes you can build up your lashes to look absolutely stunning.

the brush is huge which startled me at first and i was so scared that the whole thing was going to jab my eye out but it didnt and i actually found the application easier in comparison to the wavy wands which you have to work on forever to get your desired effect,  and its really good for the lower lash line as well.. it actually doesnt smudge and lasts all day! yes! even the regular one!!

all you mascara lovers! get your hand on this ONE!! ITS A KEEPER!!
