Bourjois Regard Effet Duochrome Eyeliner Vert Dore` Review & EOTD

Imagine its springtime in Paris & you were to meet this handsome eyeliner at Avenue des Champs-Élysées and after catching your eye he introduced himself' "Je m'appelle Bourjois Regard Effet Duochrome Eyeliner Vert Dore" chances are you'd flutter your eyelashes and marvel at his accent but that name?! Phew!! it was quite a mouthful ! What is with Bourjois's super complex French names?

Tongue twister names asides,Isn't it the most gorgeous eyeliner pencil ever?!! I totally love the beautiful ombre effect of gold & green on the pencil.

The pencil contains1.17 grams of product,though sharpening means product wastage, this pencil is relatively easy to sharpen. The tip holds firm while sharpening so you can get a decently pointed tip. The liner itself is creamy enough to go on without tugging the eyelids. It stays on for 5-6 hours comfortably on my oily eyelids and watery eyes.The eyeliner has a shelf life of  18 months and costs INR 330/- its a tad pricey for a drugstore brand but considering how long eyeliners last & unique shade I don't mind the price much.

I bought this a while back from Kunchals and this range I believe wasn't launched by L'oreal in India. (no surprises there!)

Touch on color is a multi use product which can be used on the cheeks and eyes,a small flip top compact case contains 0.11 oz. of product & I paid around Rs 500/- for this.The shade is a dusty rose with fine silver micro glitter.

Now in Stores: Estee Lauder's New CyberWhite Brilliant Cells

Introducing One Solution for All of Asia’s Whitening Needs –

Comprehensive, Powerful Full Spectrum Brightening Technologies Now Target

Every Key Dark Spot and Cause of Dullness to Reveal Fairer, Brighter Cells

In 2008, Estée Lauder elevated our brightening expertise to a whole new level with CyberWhite EX, a regimen developed for Asian skin with proven brightening and the finding that not all spots are created equal.  Incorporating highly targeted, breakthrough technologies, CyberWhite EX first addressed the three most common dark spots found in Asian skin: Barely Visible Spots, Small Surface Spots and Stubborn Age Spots. Then, in 2010, Estée Lauder further strengthened our unique position as a spot specialist by being the first to discover and target a 4^th dark spot found in Asian skin – the persistent Recurring Spot.

Today, in 2011, with over 25 years of brightening expertise, Estée Lauder once again breaks new ground in brightening skincare science with extraordinary innovation. In our continuing quest to deliver flawless, fairer skin, the world renowned Estée Lauder Asia Research team conducted an extensive, unprecedented study to understand the physiology of Asian skin and what affects its overall tonality.  Estée Lauder scientists discovered that dark spots aren’t the only cause of uneven skin tone in Asian skin.  Beyond spots, there are four key factors that contribute to the dullness and discoloration that can eclipse the natural luminosity of Asian skin: dehydration, uneven skin texture, disorganized collagen and poor microcirculation.

Inspired by this groundbreaking discovery, Estée Lauder’s scientists developed our most comprehensive and advanced brightening system ever with NEW CyberWhite Brilliant Cells.  Incorporating exclusive Full Spectrum Brightening technologies, Estée Lauder now addresses the four key factors that contribute to dullness and discoloration to reveal translucent, luminous skin, while highly targeted Anti-Spot technologies address all four key dark spots that can cloud your complexion.  This powerful system helps reveal fresher, fairer, brighter cells delivering full spectrum brightening results to illuminate every facet of skin for a beautiful translucency and luminosity that seems to radiate from deep within.

Internationally Maybelline has launched 10 shades in the range, in India currently only 5 are being retailed.Here's what Maybelline claims about the Colorsensational High shine lipsticks.

• MIRROR-LIKE COLOR from micro-mirror pigments
• CREAMIER FEEL from nourishing honey nectar

The packaging is chic mirror finish square tube it harks back to the design elements of earlier Colorsensational lipsticks.

The shade-Maybelline has launched 5 shades so far in India, 3 shades are pinks & coral, one brown and one plummy shade.The pinks & corals are very tempting in the tube but upon swatching I felt lacquered brown had much better pigmentation and color payoff and smoother texture.

SIGMA F80 Flat Kabuki Brush Review

My Sarojini Nagar outfits haul pics-On Popular demand!

Hello my lovelies, hope you are having a fabulous start to your Sunday! By the time you'll be reading this I'll be off on a holiday (more on that later). 

Before my trip I wanted to stock up on some tops & dresses & I made a quick trip to Sarojini Nagar market today, so on popular demand here are the pics of my clothing haul.

I'm a curvy gal so finding stuff to fit me without trying it out is tricky business.So I usually stick to straight forward silhouette when I shop in SN. If you are more Kate Moss than Kim Kardashian then the choice of prints & patters available for you is much wider & you can experiment a whole lot more.So lets get started with what all I snagged on my shopexpedition!

I Got this sheer chiffon peachy nude top with black floral print .Its such a delicate feminine fit, totally love this one. Can you guess what I paid for this???

150/- bucks / $3

My most favorite piece from the haul is this Dark Emerald green top from Red Herring with cutouts around the neckline.It fits like a dream & looks so chic! The picture is not doing justice to the shade ,its a very rich shade of green,totally love it.I had seen this Red Herring top retailing in Debenhams 2-3 weeks back.
The shopkeeper chattily told me 'Ma'am Gurgaon malls mein yeh 1500/- ka bik raha hai'!!
I didn't want to tell him that I saw it retail for 2500 bucks or so, I snagged it for 200 buck/ $ 4 !! *does a happy dance*
