The year 2013 passed really quickly,
even quicker than I imagined. Thanks to the blog. I was on a short leave cum
not in posting mood, wanted to unwind. It was kind of hibernation when all you want
to do is sleep, do some other work, then sleep again, for that weather here in
the capital is also to be blamed. So, now as I am back to business, I thought
of starting this year officially (since I was posting only press releases) by
posting a rounds up/favorite/ popular products post.
In the previous year too brands came
up with lots of new products, some of which sold like hot cakes while others
couldn’t manage to win masses hearts rather gave almost heartache when prices
were disclosed and the ache kind of worsened, when it comes from the very own desi brand which is no longer a
drugstore brand with their latest line! You know it!!
By the way, did you make new year’s
resolutions, I am sure most of you would and those who make resolutions every
year may have made an extra resolution of not breaking the resolutions at all. lol.
I am one of them.
Okay, so brace yourself we are
moving on with the products.
Maybelline
Color show nail paints
They were amongst the latest new
launches from Maybelline, launched in October 2013, and completely stole the
show with their colorful play and so many gorgeous shades to choose from, I
have seen people getting the entire collection of 40 shades. So what made them
so popular? It was undoubtedly the range of shade selection and the price. At
mere 75 bucks you can have these. My favorite is their one coat wonder called Bold gold.

Lakme Total Clean up scrub
This recent clean up range from Lakme
has the extracts of green tea and definitely have been proved a savior for oily
to combination skin/sensitive skin. Its granules as fine as salt crystals
making this a perfect gentle everyday scrub that can actually make your skin
smoother. Reviewed Here

L’Oreal
Glam shine gloss balm
Last year we have seen majority of
brands coming up with crayon stick like lip products, nonetheless such
lipsticks can be easy to carry and use!
Revlon, Bourjois, L’Oreal and even
our Lakme came up with pop tints with price which I could not swallow as I
would rather go for high end lip product by adding extra bucks to it. But there
was one brand that also came up with Balmy gloss on the same idea of lip crayon
for only 400 bucks though with four shades to choose from being the only
downside. Reviewed Here

Lakme
9 to 5 Lipsticks
Now, I have to say, if you are a
matte lover then do try a shade from this range. Some of them do have slight
shimmers but that can be negligible. They feel light on the lips and gives
great intense color. Most of this range’s shades are subtle and suitable for Indian
skin tones. They are worth the money lipsticks. See Here

Nyx Studio Perfect Photo Loving
Primer
This
silicone based primer came as a savoir for my combination skin in summers. Its
capability to keep skin matte for a longer time made me its fan. It isn’t
expensive if you buy it from U.S sites but here it is priced at 2400 INR. Crazy
it is!!! I know! Reviewed Here

MUA Fashionista Blushes
This year (Makeup
Academy) MUA also launched their new line FASHIONISTA line of makeup and I just
loved the shades of blushes they have to offer, there are lots of beautiful
color and even a fierce red. I got two for myself and absolutely love these. By
the way they are mostly mattes. Reviewed Here

Maybelline Cheeky glow Blush
When it
comes to drugstore brands in India, It seems since ages, we didn’t have any choice
of good matte blushes. I mean there were affordable faces Canada blushes but
they were full of chunky shimmers though with the launch of Maybelline Cheeky
glow blushes in three shades at only 225 buck, kind of filled that void. Now
the beginners who are thinking of building up their basic make up collection can
go for them! By the way, if you are on a dusky side, go for creamy cinnamon, it
looks amazing!! Review Here

Rimmel London Compact powder
This year Rimmel too came to India and online it was available on Slassy.com. This compact looks filmsy but nonetheless is a great to have compact for oily skin with light weight texture. See here.
Pond’s BB cream
This is
one such product that had won my heart as getting the right base is really difficult
and to blend it is even more difficult. When this whole BB cream phenomenon was
there and I, who have tried every brand that launched BBs at that time, found
out that this can be a go to product for those, who don’t want much coverage.
Even then it is available in only one shade, prominent yellow tones in the
pigment of this cream was able to match a lot of India skin tones supposedly.
Moreover, it wasn’t as greasy as others which earned it some extra brownie
points for oily skinned people. Reviewed Here

120 Professional Eye shadow palette
Someone
who is inclined towards eye shadows cannot have a better gift for herself than
a palette like this. Trust me finding the right shade from the tiny duos and
quads wasn’t fun but this palette has actually made my job simpler by providing
me with gradient of an individual color, with different textures from pearly to
mattes. Now, I don’t feel like buying any more eyes shadows. Honestly!!
Earlier, I thought, I will buy this similar palette from Bh cosmetics but
before that I stumbled upon this from a site called buyincoins and thankfully,
it turned out to be really good and safe, keeping in mind I am a contact lens user!

Soulflower Baby your skin soap
It’s a
soap that can test your temptation and resistance not to eat it, it smells so
damn yummy and makes skin so soft and clear that I had to order two more of
these. And it’s not just me, anyone from my family who have used it, loved it a
lot. As in A LOT!!! . Read the review here

Lakme Quartet
Okay I
will admit, even if I love eye makeup, I have not used these palettes, reason,
I ignored them. I rather had faces, chambor, La colors, MUA etc. It’s just I
got this and then I realized how wonderful product it is and has got some of
the very beautiful Indian neutral colors that are insanely pigmented. I would
really recommend these palettes. They are worth every penny spent!! Don’t believe
me see the swatches here.

MUA Love Hearts Lip balm Kiss me
If you shop
from MUA then get this, its combination of a product that can give some tint to
your lips simultaneously keeps them soft and smooth. May be you can wear it
before applying your lipstick. Reviewed Here
