#Review - #Essence #BlushUp #Powder #Blush in 10 #HeatWave

My dear readers, I still remember the time when I was not so fluent with makeup skills and applying a blush used to seem like a nightmare to me...Even if I attempted wearing blush I ended up looking like a chinese doll with round blobs of pinkness on my cheeks and I had to redo all my makeup *ha-ha*.
Anyhow, thanks to Youtube and all the wonderful tutorials on this amazing site; I was a consistent practitioner and ultimately learnt how to apply blush and how it completely transforms your whole look *yay*. My most favorite two shades of all time are pink and coral in a blush and guess what I found in the #Essence #BlushUp #Powder #Blush 10 #HeatWave!!! A single compact blush with both the shades. Isn't this wonderful? Read on to find out my comments on the same...

Review - Essence Disney Cinderella Highlighter Powder

Hi girls, hope you are enjoying the new year. I have been a little MIA due to my personal commitments at home but for now I am back with all my lovely products and sharing my thoughts about them with you.
Highlighting is one important part of makeup but normally we don't do it everyday. I also don't highlight face everyday but its good to know how and where to apply your highlight to draw attention to your face on special occasions. I was looking for this powder which took me around 20 shops and finally I got my hands off this lovely compact. Girls I am talking about Essence Disney Cinderella Highlighter Powder - 01 The Glass Slipper.

Review - Atiqa Odho Contouring Powder "Coffee"

Hi my girls, contouring and highlighting is something which is always tricky and at times you are not sure which shade of contouring will be suiting your face. I am personally looking for different shades to try out for contouring and enjoy the different looks according to different outfits and situations.
Recently I came across a contouring powder by Atiqa Odho cosmetics called "Coffee". Its very reasonable price urged me to try this out as my mantra is to find out better priced alternatives to everything expensive. Read further to find out how it works and what is its result like on my face.

Review–Loreal true match minerals face powder

I have been listening to all this buzz about mineral makeup everywhere so I badly wanted to try one myself … I chose to try Loreal True Match Minerals face powder which says “foundation like coverage”. It is SPF15 and comes in different shades from which you can choose the one closest to your skin.

The packaging:

The packaging of the Loreal True Match Minerals face powder is one of the impressive bits about it. I personally bought it due to the beautiful packaging of the face powder. It comes in a jar which has a screwable cap with a brush which is headed by a transparent cap.

The Pricing:

I got this face powder for PKR 1200 from D. Watson. However I have seen this face powder being sold at upto a price of Rs. 2400 as well.

The Results:

Well, the results of this product are pretty good, they say that it is a foundation like coverage which is true to some extent but if you have some dark spots or pimple marks on your face you definitely need a proper foundation before this one. Sometimes I feel it makes my face too cakey which shows up in laughter lines etc. The key to using this face powder is to keep it to a minimum, the more powder you apply to your face, the more cakey your face will become. I am somewhat satisfied from this product but I personally do not consider it a good value for money. The brush provided with the packaging is just okay and I would prefer using another powder brush if I can. The thing I basically dislike the most in this face powder is that I find the application very messy … i.e. I have to turn the box to release some of the powder on the holed surface and then unscrew the box to dip the brush into the powder and then I can apply. I  know it might not be a big deal for many of you out there but personally this is one thing about this product that puts me off.

The Good things:

• It adds a matte finish to your face
• it somewhat complies to the statement “foundation like coverage”
• It has a brush and powder in one so you don’t have to carry multiple things
• It gives your face an even skin tone

The Bad things:

• Messy way of application
• Brush provided in the packaging is not too good for application
• A bit much of the product makes your face too cakey
• I personally don’t think it’s a good value for money
