Maybelline Expertwear Eyeshadow : Time for Wine

by Ani

hello friends
I am a huge fan of eyeshadows beside lipsticks and try to stock it more
I think everyone should like colorful eyes painted by eyeshadow

so, today I am going to review Maybelline Expetwear Eyeshadow
Net wt. 4.8gm. Price - Rs. 240
Shade - Time for Wine

so, here is the complete pack


and the shades


in Maybelline Expertwear quad this is mentioned that which shade where to be applied
you can see  the words - Lid, Crease, Brow Bone an Outer Corner

ok..... now the swatches

Lid ( very light chocolaty beige ) and Crease ( deep purple shade )

Brow Bone ( very light shimmery pearl pink ) and Brow Bone ( plum mauve )

Yeps -
1/ very very economic :) I think its the most cheap eyeshadow palette I have ever bought from the current collections
2/ colors are good pigmented :)
3/ stays upto 4 hours............ but you have to use an eyeshadow primer for long lasting effect
4/ Not chalky
5/ it has 2 seperate brushes......

Nopes -
1/ I think the packaging is not good...................... it seems old and boaring
2/ there are many palettes in this range................... but I din't found all or varieties in any store..... and Its not available in any Indian shopping site
3/ the brow bone shade seems copperish apparently.............. so shades are not clear to watch

Overall rating - 4/5

Will I repurchase? - Definitely other palettes from this range.
Will I recommend? yes..

Aroma Magic Vitamin-E Nourishing Cream


by Kannu ( guest post)

Since winters are round the corner so I decided to buy a nourishing cream for myself. I have heard a lot of Aroma Magic products so thought of tying it out.

Here is the image of the packaging…






It comes in a sealed packaging as you can see in the image below










It has a thick consistency…




What the product claims-
(Rejuvenating & Lightening)

For Normal to Dry Skin

BENEFITS
A light nourishing & rejuvenating cream. The shea butter & vitamins A, C, E & F help to keep skin young, healthy, prevent wrinkles, facial lines, fight ageing & sun damage. Also lighten skin tone, blemishes & prevent stretch marks.

Direction for use-
Massage the cream onto face & neck after cleansing. Remove excess with damp cotton.

Active Ingredients-
Extracts of carrot, cucumber, rose, shea butter, vegetables waxes & Vitamin A,C,E &F & pure essential oils of patchouli, geranium & lavender.

Price- Rs. 215 for 50gms

My experience with this product-
I bought it keeping that it should be useful in winters…It has a mild floral fragrance which goes after 10 mins once applied. This cream has a sticky application when applied on face & hands which stays for a longer time. For day wear I feel it’s too sticky would work better as a night cream. Just a little bit is enough to cover the whole face.

Would I recommend this product?
If you have a dry skin this may be a good product for you or if you are looking for night cream.

Rating-
3/5
Would I repurchase?
No one is enough for me.
