GOOD DAY SPARKLES!!!

So, how are you all?? Hope everyone is happy, calm and peaceful. If not and you are in a bad mood or had a bad day, it’s fine!! That’s completely normal. Keep calm and try to be focused and smile. And yeah! Now let’s talk about what we are here for today. GLASS DEWY SKIN!! Oh! Wow, what a beautiful dreamy catchy term, its magical enough to drag all our attention and try it, But reality is not all the products which are marketed as Glass skin primers doesn’t deliver the expected results. In this uncountable situation of makeup and beauty products, its highly confusing and frustrating to pick up something which could actually suit us. We do 10000 scrolls, see 1000 feeds, watch 100 videos and get to try 10-20 products and finally believe that one product would work wonders after trying it just for once on our patch test. But what if it doesn’t turn out to what we saw in our 5 mins patch test with good lightings on shops or malls. Because the tube lights in our house and our bed side mirrors are what shows us the reality. So, I’m going to recommend something that could benefit you, if you are looking for a dewy primer. I’m a combination skin girl, which gets dry in winters and bit oily in summers, but this product works for me in all 4 seasons. But disclaimer is that makeup and skincare are highly subjective and what works for me might not work for you, so pls try to do a patch test in shop at least 2 times and observe it in all possible lightings. You could use that product on half of your face and on the other side without this primer then apply makeup on your whole face, but following your trusted skincare and makeup items you believe on both the sides, so you could find out how this one product performs as you already know about the other products layered above this primer, And please don’t forgot to zoom it with your eyes in the mirror at your home, that shows its true nature.

For me this gives a beautiful dewy glass like skin, which gives a glow from within look and all other products layer magically on top of it and there is no tugging or pulling and definitely makes my makeup lasts longer, without getting oily or cakey. It makes my foundation blends like butter and does not highlight any dry patches or textures. Of course, it won’t hide pores, or mattifies skin as its more of a hydrating dewy primer. I have tried many dewy primers, some famous ones too, but nothing actually stayed the way it was when applied nor helped in making makeup hold in place. But this has been a gamechanger for me and my skin. My skin gets a bit oily in summers, but still this primer does not make my skin too oily instead stays dewy. I use Clinique moisture surge 100H moisturizer beneath any primer or foundation. Sometimes, when its really cold my skin gets dry when I use matte foundation, but this primer helped me a lot with my dry patches and smooth application of foundation.

PRICE AVAILABLITY:

It’s available both in Amazon and Nykaa, it’s priced at 1500 on Nykaa and 3000 on amazon. I know the price is steep. But don’t you worry, please consider getting from Nykaa during HOT PINK SALE during June or PINK FRIDAY SALE during November, as the price  will go down as low as 700-800. Which is a decent value for the results delivered.

PRODUCT CLAIMS:

Now let’s do something interesting, the product has some wonderful and strong claims made and let’s see whether everything claimed is true or Meh!

So, summing it all up this product got 7 thumbs up and 3 thumbs down. Which is 7/10. Some claims are overrated and some are actually true about the nature of this product.

CONCLUSION:

I genuinely love this product from the bottom of my heart, and its my saver when I have a really big and dry patches during winters and need a healthy glass skin round the year. Drum roll, I would certainly freaking recommend this to you guys!!!!

Hope you like this blog and found something useful and this also solved the question of perfect dewy primer pestering you all these days!! I would be delighted if this post helped you in any way!! Have you tried NYX? Do you love this brand? Have u tried this primer? Will you try? What is your go-to primer for dewy skin? Please do comment and follow my page for more such makeup content. Need all you support to keep me motivated. Leave your suggestions on which product you need my opinion on. Would definitely try.

MY NOTE FOR TODAY:

In the world of selfishness and vengeance, be a pure heart of Kindness where people can cling on to you and dissolve their negativity and sins. Learn to forget and forgive. Accept yourself and others for what they are. In the ocean of impurities be that drop of warmth and affection which could change the surroundings around you. There are many reasons for a person to turn bad but it all takes just a moment of realization and acceptance for a happy and peaceful life.

WITH POSITIVITY AND LOVE

Good Day Sparkles!!

Life without a goal is useless. So, everyone will have something or the other as a goal to achieve. But you wanna know the ultimate goal of most of the makeup lovers???? Any guesses??? It’s to have that one product for all glow goals. Yes, GLOWY FLAWLESS SKIN is what we all dream of. We use so many products in the form of skincare or makeup, just to get a beautiful skin. But what is beauty?? Is there any definition to it??? Why is everyone having that urge for flawless skin?? With the influencers and bloggers mentioning so many products with a tagline “this is what everyone wants for flawless skin “, I have always had a question that can a product could make your skin naturally flawless permanently and I have also gotten confused with so many recommendations of influencers on what to actually buy and what to avoid. Every product has both positive and negative reviews on Youtube or say any platform. So, we are left with no clue on what to spend our hard-earned money on. But something from my personal experience I have to let it out to you people is that, firstly we have to normalize few things like, the thirst for flawless skin even if you use 1000 skincare or makeup products at the end of the day, their will be improvements but you cannot change you skin textures and its nature completely. Secondly, its high time we have accept that not everyone is born with flawless skin and that’s absolutely fine. Thirdly, Wear makeup to enhance and rejoice your natural beauty and not to hide your inferiority complex. So, yeah! Here we are after a very loonggggg intro of my thoughts. And getting into today’s post, I cannot promise you on product for flawless skin today but I can fulfil the other half of the above said goal that’s glowy luminous skin. A highlighter palette for that glow from within kind of look to blinding to take it to the next universe glow. I bring it to you EUROPE GIRL COSMETICS AFTER GLOW HIGHLIGHTER PALETTE.

GOOD DAY everyone!!

Being an eyeshadow fetish how can I miss out on a glitter eyeshadow palette?? Isn’t it a sin if I didn’t write something about my favorite glitter palette. I know that there are whole lot of videos on the topic that pressed chunky glitters are not intended for the eye area, but let’s not get into that!!  Being a sucker for sparkly glowy eyes, how can I stay away from glitters. My heart is weak enough to restrict them. So, I welcome wholeheartedly all shimmers, glitters, glimmers into my world of makeup. Lol!! I know that there are so many people out there who loves glitters, and sometimes a beautiful glitter could save your day!! Not exaggerating things, I know all makeup lovers could feel me, right?? Let me put an end to my blabbers and let’s get into the product of the day. CUFFSNLASHES X SHYSTYLES GLITTER PALETTES In the variant GLITTER HEART 1 and 2.

A SHORT STORY ON HOW I LANDED UP ON THIS:

I earlier had a palette from cuffsnlashes named start dust and used it on clients every time my client allows me to show my creativity. (ha-ha sometimes brides are cautious to keep their makeup subtle). Every person who saw it for the first time, deliberately wanted to have it. But unfortunately, it got discontinued. So, I started shooting the brand with Instagram messages on its restock and the reply was because of high manufacturing cost they said it cannot be continued. So, I was left disappointed. One fine day, I was surprised when NIDHI di, the owner of this amazing Indian female owned brand posted on Instagram that they are coming up with a collab partnering shystyles and it includes glitters palettes. So immediately I pinged Nidhi di with all my expectations and assumptions drafted as a message. She was so kind enough to reply me clarifying my doubts. They then released the teaser of the collab, I was spell bound. Those shades reminded me of my lost love for glitters as my earlier palette was expired. This is how found this ultimate gem.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY:

These two pretty palettes are priced at 499 INR each, and the brand often offers 10% discounts. I feel its fairly priced, as manufacturing glitters are pricey and to get the formulation right is itself a challenge to achieve.

Its exclusively available on Purplle’s @purplle.com official website. Sometimes the brand does give out freebies, if you purchase above certain amount. So, watch out guys.

ABOUT CUFFSNLASHES:

It is a women owned Indian brand. They have a highly responsive customer support. They try to keep their prices fair every time. This brand is close to my heart because of its inclusiveness and innovative ability. They take customer feedbacks positively and try to improve with every constructive criticism. This is one of the few affordable Indian brands who actually listens to the customer’s requirements to make good quality products.

REASONS TO FALL IN LOVE:

Variety of colors to experiment

Budget friendly

Easily available

Cute travel friendly packaging

Great quality

Highly pigmented and reflective

Lasts for 4 to 5 hours without an eyeshadow primer as they are self-adhesive, but to make it long lasting and budge proof use an eyeshadow primer or glitter glue.

Quantity is perfect as it is pigmented.

Shelf life more than 2.5 years.

REASONS TO AVOID:

Actually, in this initial stage of blogging, I do really want to mention products without any flaw or negatives. So, there is no con. But sensitive eyes please be cautious to do a trial swatch first before putting it directly on eyes.

CONCLUSION:

These are ultra-affordable glitter palettes in the Indian market. I would personally recommend it all makeup lovers who loves experimenting with their eye looks and to add glitters in their life. Highly recommend as its cost effective and worth every single penny spent. The brand’s primary vision of satisfying the customers makes me to support them as these are small makeup brands with big dreams. Being a makeup artist, I feel its my responsibility to support these customer friendly brands, as they always keep their prices fair in the world where brands just keep prices sky high, just to make people believe that they are of high standards and has a brand value. I wish this little effort of mine is noticed, so we could support amazing affordable brands. Again, this is not a promotion post, and above all I’m just a beginner to this world of blogging and posts.

Hope you like it. If so, please do support my page. If not, please do leave your suggestions for me to grow. I’m interested in knowing few things. Have you tried this brand? Or any other small Indian brand? Your thoughts on affordable vs luxury makeup? Your favorite affordable or luxury brand which has good quality for the price paid? Would love to hear it from you. Please share and support my page, it would mean an absolute world to me.

My Note for today:

When situations turn difficult, when the light goes dark, when you lose your peace, just remember to hold on and wait patiently as there will always be a ray of hope, a light starting to beam in sometime. Time heals everything. Good days are ahead sweetheart!!
