Weekend Haul III

Finally, I decided to get my lazy self to the shopping mecca of the town, Comm St, and indulged myself in a lil bit of shopping. I bought 2 thin summer t-shirts, one white print kurta, 2 peasant type summer tops and one shirt-dress (that will be worn over jeans)! Annnnd I found my holy grail in lipgloss (realising later I'd already bought it 4 years ago for my lil sister). It's value for money, non-sticky, mildly fragrant (I don't really like any fragrance in my lip products) and in a lovely shade that completely complements me.
Interested? It's Revlon's Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Cherry (for Rs.310 for 4.5 ml). It's a lovely reddish-coral shade, goes on thinly, with no shimmer and no stickyness (not sure what the spelling is)! I applied only a thin layer - and this was the effect:


Apologise for the crappy pic, it was taken in a hurry.

Compared to the Maybelline Gloss Glide (something like what Anu's posted about on indianmakeupdiva), this was more cost effective, and was not thick and sticky.

I also bought this "Maybelline" eye-shadow set, that's really pretty and appropriate for summer!
I have no blues in my collection and so fell in love with this set immediately. It's cream based, high in shimmer (in fact you can see tiny flakes of shimmer on the e/s, which dissolves into shimmer when you use a sponge brush). I wore the lightest blue shade today, it is a little too much shimmer for work, so thinking of layering under my e/s on regular work days. The palette cost Rs.250 and has a mild fragrance.

It's here!

I got my Violica package....{does a jiggy dance!} yeah yeah..
I was waiting for it, and it's here :P
I ordered Jordana Green Suede eyeliner (Rs.70), Virgo angled blush brush (Rs.75) and a nail buffer (Rs.20).

The eyeliner is fab hehe..very smooth in application, is not rubbed off and is a lovely mossy olive shade of green, perfect for my green smoky eyes. I'm so happy :D

Violica Purchases 1

So here's the promised look at the first purchases made on Violica. Amita, sorry to say, the day I posted about the store, I had to buy something. I just could not stop myself. Once it arrives, I'll def post pics!

The Revlon Timeliner in Orangine goes on pretty smooth and is very highly pigmented!


The STAY SMOOTH ANTI-CHAP LIP COLOR (BEIGEFUL TRES BEIGE) BY ALMAY cost rs.45 and is quite smooth! It is tingly in a nice way and is nearly the same shade as my lips. I'm thinking I can layer regular lippies on this, as this has SPF 25! (Yeah see Amita, I'm using sunscreen:).

Where do I buy cosmetics online in India?

Hi Amita, apologies if the orange nails robbed you of your sanity, I really had no new haul to post about! Cos you know, uh, the hub has banned new cosmetic purchases for a few weeks. :( It was getting out of hand, so I'm in rehab now.
In the meanwhile, here's a site I found, just by luck, to buy cosmetics in INDIA!
Violica
What I ordered was : Revlon Timeliner in Tangerine (Rs.45), Almay lip Balm in Beige (Rs.45), Revlon Mascara in Plush blah blah (Rs.80) and a aromatherapy foot kit for Rs.54! Shop above Rs 500 to avail free shopping.
I will put up the pics soon, this purchase was over a month ago. Why I haven't put up pics is cos a) I wasn't satisfied at all with the mascara, it was all dried and and smelt funky. So that's thrown away. b) The remaining lip products were actually good, especially the Almay lip blam (which I can't believe cost only 45, something fishy). But it didn't smell funky and goes on smooth and is a very natural colour.
Posting some swatches soon :)

New Haul on weekend

I bought some Colorbar cosmetics on the weekend. A listick in Natural shade and in Peach-pink combo with shimmer, a dark black Kohl stick, Peach coloured nail polish and a fabulous blush in Fucsia shade which I plan to use as a bronzer! The lipsticks are very pigmented and have a good amount of shimmer, but the texture isn't very smooth. Here are the pics and the swatches:
