How to spot fake Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

It’s not original, if it’s not “Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly”

Is your skin feeling dry even after applying Vaseline Petroleum jelly? Does it leave your skin looking rough and bruised? So are you using the original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly? Nowadays the market is flooded with cheap products that look like the original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly and are available at cheaper prices. But these moisturizers only last for a short time, making the skin drier which can cause more harm than good to your skin

Dance of the Peacock-Bridal Eye Makeup contest entry by Nitya

Dance of the Peacock - is a colorful look which combines bright blue and green without looking too over the top. This look can be paired with similar colored Lehngas /Saree with either gold or silver embellishment.

   

Lipstick suggestion: since the eyes are quite heavy and dramatic, it's better to go with nude lips. But this being a wedding look, nude lips might look too washed out and won't photograph well. Hence, I'd recommend glossy shimmery light pink lips. (Maybelline colorsensational lipstick in Warm me up + Bourjois 3D effect gloss in no.63)

The Sultry Bride Eyemakeup look and detailed tutorial by Nitya

Bridal Look : The Sultry Bride by Nitya

This look is a very sexy bridal smokey eye without looking too heavy. This looks very sultry and uses the versatile colors of gold and black so it can be paired with any colored lehanga/saree as long as the embellishments on those are gold/dull gold.

This look is very versatile and would easily go with very traditional outfits as well as stylish contemporary looks. I personally see this being paired with a red and gold outfit (the traditional Indian wedding colors)

Lipstick suggestion: Matte red lips. Even though it's a smokey eye, being a bridal look wearing matte red lipstick will go wonderfully well with this especially when paired with a red bindi how I've showed here. Again this will look best with a red and gold outfit. (Inglot lip crayon in no.21)

MAC RUBY WOO- TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY?

My quest for the perfect red lipstick has been on for a while now and today I decided to finally pick a true red lippie.None of the sheer, tinted, glossy, glazy red business for me ,I wanted bold matte red, think hot Ferrari Red.

So I went on a swatch fest staring from Revlon Really Red to 9 red shades from Inglot (sorry cant remember all the numbers!), 2 from Elizabeth Arden and 7 red lippies from MAC (Russian Red, So chaud, Ramblas Red, Cockney,Dubonnet,Ruby Woo,Brave Red). 

Finally I zeroed down on MAC Russian Red & Ruby Woo, Inglot Red lipstick number 408 & 176.

Lip swatches were an altogether different business, Russian Red (blue based matte red, extremely bright & highly pigmented) looked too bright for me.Inglot lippies well I was over the fence with the shades, so finally I decided on MAC Ruby Woo- an ultra dry matte,blue based retro red.

Ta da ,just when I thought my 2 hours of research was finally yielding result, the SA sprang up the surprise on me- "Sorry we are out of stock " Ugh all my glam Red lipstick dreams came crashing down, I rushed to the second MAC store in the nearby mall- dang again out of stock! 

Guess I'll have to wait before I get my paws on this one.Here are the lip swatches.

Tell me if you think its a worthy buy or I should try some other matte red? Any reccos will be highly appreciated
