Product Review: PAC Beauty Blender Sponge

FB Page | Instagram | Twitter | Roposo | Pinterest

Hi Guys,

First of all a very Happy New Year to you all. Hope you had a great start and hope you get all that you deserve and wish for. 🙂

Today I’m back with a new product review of PAC Beauty Blender sponge.

PAC is an Indian cosmetic company which has recently launched a more affordable version of the Original Beauty Blender. Same look and same color but some differences. Now they have many variants of Beauty Blender Sponge like Classic Pink, a pair of red/black, mini beauty blender set of four etc.

Packaging

The one that I have is the pair of black beauty blender which retails for INR 745 from Amazon.in (Click here to buy) . It comes in a plastic box and inside it there is a mesh pouch for hygiene, storage and travel purposes with magnetic opening for easy access

  How to use?

• Run the beauty blender under water and squeeze it against a towel.
• You want the sponge to be semi-wet. ( It will double in size once it is damp )
• Pick up the product with the more rounded side of the sponge. Stipple it or dab the blender all over the face.
• Use the pointed side of the blender for hard to get areas such as under the eyes, inner corner of the eyes, around the nose and mouth etc.

Dry, Smaller in size

Damp, Expands and more softer

How to maintain?

• To wash it fill a cup or a bowl of luke warm water, add some liquid soap (which is not to harsh for your skin) eg. Dettol Skincare handwash
• Let it soak in the soap water and the squeeze and rub the blender with your thumb around the used areas to get off the product.
• Change the water 2-3 times and repeat the process until it is clean and back to its original self
• Do not squeeze or rub too hard a it might tear the blender.
• It is highly suggested to wash it thoroughly after each use as if it is damp and not washed for a longer period of time it will form fungus all over the surface, which in return will also develop skin issues and acne.

My Review

(Disclaimer: The thoughts mentioned in this review are solely my own, I have never used the Original Beauty Blender, but I have used the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge for over a year now and so the review mentioned below will be in regards to that product)   

Packaging:

One of the things that attracted me to buy this product was the fact that it comes with a pouch, the mesh pouch is amazing as it does keep the product airy and hygienic, and it is travel friendly at the same time.Since I use this product on regular basis it is was more feasible for me to buy it in pair rather that a single pack.

Price:

From the price point of view, this is quite a reasonable product available in India as the OG beauty blender is quite pricey and the real techniques miracle sponge is not easily available in India. Ofcourse there are online sights that sell them but at a higher or a differed price that it’s retail cost, which for me is a loss for such a product that I use on daily basis and is required more frequently .

Look & Shape:

What I gained on buying a pair of this product is that I get to use and experience two different shapes at the same time. The look of the first one is more like a bulgy egg shape rather than a tear-drop shape, since it is more rounded and a little larger to handle. Now, I have a small face so for me this is a tad-bit larger to place on certain areas of face.

Whereas, the other one is tapered on one end and has a flat surface on the other end . The real reason that I chose to buy this is that I can experience using the egg shaped  beauty blender which undoubtedly resembles OG beauty blender which I did not have, where as the other one which resembles Real Techniques Miracle Sponge can be kept as a back up. I will say that the PAC beauty blender sponge is more stiffer and finely packed, which in result is more harder to squeeze than the Real Techniques Miracle Sponge.

Finish and Application:

The application and finish is indeed very flawless and beautiful, it dies not leave streaks post application and also easily blends the product. However I will say that layering any product with this sponge might not be a good idea as it has a tendency to soak product, which will result in lifting the previously applied product rather than blending the new layer of product. Other than that there is nothing to dislike about this product.

Uses:

This product has been a gem to when for the uses that it has provided. Blend in the foundation and concealer. Apply cream blush or cream contour. Bake or set the face with loose powder or compact powder (which I always do). Mellow down the stark highlight. This product has been a gem to when for the uses that it has provided.

This product can definitely change your makeup game. Plus if you are lazy like me to use brushes it is a God sent saviour. Thus wrapping this long essay review, I would suggest you all to buy this product keeping in mind the price point, easy availability and it’s multipurpose uses.

That’s it guys! Hope you liked my review. If so then…

Go To Makeup Look

Hey guys,

First of all I’m very sorry for being MIA for past 2 weeks but I was on a holiday trip 😉 and so I had no gadgets nor WiFi or internet connection. But none the less I’m back now and my agenda for the last 15 days of the month is to have an EXPRESS BLOG FORTNIGHT which basically means 15 days and 5 posts. This being the first one. The schedule will be posted on my social media soon SO STAY TUNED

So for today’s post I want to share with you all my go-to/on the go makeup routine the products I use and the way I carry it through out the day

Makeup routine is a very personal thing for each individual. It depends on each person’s taste, their skin type, their wardrobe choices and many such factors like that. Some like it more bold some like it more subtle and a bright lip. There are many such options and there is no right or wrong way when it comes this, it’s all about personal choice.

I for one like to keep my makeup light on skin with using only needed products and switch between lip options.

Products / Method:

• So now that winters are round the corner I have a mini morning skin care routine as well where I cleanse my face, tone it up with some rose water and moisturize with a my daily moisturizer.
• SPF is an important part of a routine even for cold gloomy days. But me being a lazy bum I forget about it of which wing it, but guys make sure not to do that

• Nivea for Men Sensitive After Shave Balm: I use this product as a primer before putting on the base as it gives smooth canvas and helps blend the makeup well. I have a full review on it so Click here to Check it out  BUY HERE
  

• NYX correcting concealer, light/pale: I have naturally pigmented eyes and dark circles so color correcting is a crucial step for me. which is why I use this product before concealer. BUY SIMILAR PRODUCT HERE

• Maybelline Fit me concealer in 25 Medium: This concealer is a good match with pretty decent coverage. A little around my lips, eye lids and on to my dark circles works just fine. BUY HERE

• L’oreal Mat Magique Pressed Powder, G2 Golden Ivory: So to set concealed areas I use the sponge provided with the compact. Where as to all over the face I buff it with a small kabuki brush. BUY HERE

• Collection Pressed Powder, Warm Bronze 15: I like to bronze up my face as I feel the colder months gradually turn me paler. I avoid fierce contour all together rather just brush a warm color all over my face. BUY SIMILAR PRODUCT HERE
• Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: Mascara is a must for me any day. So first I use my I lash curler to give lashes an uplift and the apply mascara and gradually building up as per my liking. Along with that I give my eyebrows as comb through with a toothbrush to keep them in place. Also I apply mascara on both upper and lower lashes. BUY HERE

• Lip options: My Lips options vary as per the day and the event. But some of my on the go lipsticks are SUGAR Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick – Holly Golightly BUY HERE and MAYBELLINE Creamy Matte lipstick – Touch of spice BUY HERE

  (p.s: I use a beauty sponge on a daily basis to blend in foundation or concealer as it is easier and faster to work with.)

So there it is guys, my On The Go Makeup routine. Hope you guys liked it and found it helpful as well.

If so then…

Monthly Faves: Sept 2016

Hey guys,

First of all I’m very sorry for being MIA for past month but I had lot going on and then I took a little break. But I’m back for good now and my plan is to ease into my work. So on that note today I want to share with you guys my Sept Faves.

Sept for me has been great, a month of achievement in other factors of life. I did not buy much stuff this month but I have regularly been reaching for certain stuff every single day which I’m going to share today. So Let’s get started.

• Nivea For Men Sensitive After Shave Balm
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Ashton
• Two strings ease choker by Flaunt Couture
• Zara off shoulder Top
• Next White Amber Perfume

Nivea For Men Sensitive After Shave Balm

First things first, I don’t shave and don’t use it for the purpose it’s meant to be. But I use it as a FACE PRIMER. Yes! you did read it right. I use it on my face before I apply my base for makeup. Actually a YouTube beauty guru NikkiTutorials, I follow had discovered this as a face Primer and has a full video dedicated to it. (link will be mentioned in my next blogpost)

Now this amazing product has few ingredients which are much identical to a regular face primer. It is a great and cheap substitute. It works wonderfully. I’m so obsessed with this product I use it ever single time I wear makeup and I’m sure this will be a re-purchase asa it’s over.

(Full REVIEW & How to us it, is coming up in my next blogpost so stay tuned.)

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Ashton

Oh! Holy Lord. This was, is and will be my favorite brown color ever. It is a liquid lipstick formula which is great because it stays longer than other regular lipsticks. As described on the website it is a Midtone yellow brown, but for my skintone it is a nice muted true brown color.I wear it during day or at night with smokey eye look or just a mascara. It looks stunning no matter what. It has a very subtle way of uplifting any look. And I kid you not but I have literally not left my hands off this color for past month, to an extent where my friends literally had to mock me to wear something else. Although it is a bit drying on lips and flakes off after certain hour of wear but Hey! I just keep all that aside and devour the beauty of this color.

Two strings ease choker by Flaunt Couture

Chokers have been the thing for 2016, it has been  one of the staples in fashion world. And finally I jumped on the wagon. It is a beautiful adjustable string choker with a nice bling hanging down the neck. Specially what I love about this is the ease that it provides.

I mean I love chokers but after a certain while they are kind of suffocating and so the best part is that I can easily adjust the circumference of the choker whenever this happens and it would still look super chic. Plus the two strings actually give an illusion of a longer neck.

To Order: FLAUNT COUTURE by Prakruti Doshi. Check out their IG page and Facebook Page

Zara off shoulder Top

This is a nice casual off shoulder top and frankly my first one. and so i wanted to include it in here. The color is a mid orange-brown  but it is such a fall color and it’s pretty comfortable to wear. It doesn’t rise up with my hands moving and I guess it was a fashion peer-pressure which I guess I wanted to dive in. Also surprisingly it makes my collarbone and shoulder look much more slender and slimmer which is always a bonus. 😉

Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset

Next White Amber Perfume

This has been one of my favorite fragrance this month. I have worn it on all my special occasions and not regularly though cause it’s a gift and it smells so amazing that I don’t want to run out of it so soon. As described on the NEXT (UK based brand) website it is “Irresistible and oriental. Zesty & spicy top notes wrapped in honey & sandalwood give this floriental fragrance an irresistible character“. I agree with them but to put this in a normal man’s term, it is a beautiful warm undertoned earthy  fragrance with a very grounded feel. Perfect for the coming winters. So I quote “When I wear this I just run down the Fall lane.”

Makeup 101: Face Primer

Hi guys,

Hope you people had a great weekend. Well I’m back with some makeup tips for ya’ll. Primers have been on of the most important factor of any makeup routine. But some of us are still ignorant to the fact and have a notion in mind that primers are only beneficial for oily skins. But that my friends is just a myth. Priming is one of the basic steps for base routine, which is as important as applying any foundation or concealer.

So today first of all I’m going to give a general idea on primers a followed by the basic importance/advantages of the application of primer.

 

What is a primer?

A foundation/face primer is a lotion or a balm or a gel applied before the foundation and after the moisturizer in a makeup routine.

Some contain antioxidants such as A, C, and E, or other ingredients such as grape seed extract and green tea extract. There are water-based and silicon-based foundation primers. Ingredients may include cyclomethicone and dimethicone. Some primers do not contain preservative, oil or fragrance. Some may also have sun protection factor (SPF). (P.s: Info. in this paragraph is  taken for Wikipedia)

Importance/Advantages of using a Primer

• Creates a smooth canvas:

Imagine a goodness of a plain blank canvas before painting. Similarly Primers acts as a clear base for makeup application.Some of them reduces redness, fine lines as well as minimizes visibility of pores thus, thus giving your skin a smooth base to do further makeup.

• Increases Longevity of Makeup

Another great reason to wear primer, is the increase the wear time of your makeup. It surely would not keep it intact around the clock but will surely keep it fresh for a fair amount of time.

• Skin type

It is actually a subjective matter as to which primer will suit which skin type. Many mixed reviews have come across till date but the general idea here is silicone or lotion based primers are lighter on oily skin types which makes it a good option for day-to-day wear. where as for dry skin types creamier face primers are more suitable which does not flake and will keep the makeup intact for longer duration. As for combination skin, you are blessed but for you guys trial and error method works best

• Kinds

There are different kinds of face primers in market today. Some are matte, generally for T-zone areas  where are some are illuminating primers for higher points of face or can directly mix it with foundation for a nice healthy glow.And then there are various other kinds such as anti-redness or pores minimizing or skin brightening etc which aids to the individual needs.

Some of the Primers AVAILABLE in India:

• L’Oreal Paris Base Magique Primer

 

• Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer

• Inglot UNDER MAKEUP BASE

 

• Natio Pure Mineral Face Primer

So I hope this was a tat bit helpful next time you buy your primer. Hope ya’ll liked it. If so then pls hit LIKE and also COMMENT down below for more topics like this.

7 Monsoon Makeup Tips

Hey Guys, hope you all are doing well. Today I have for you some season saving tips. Despite of loving this tropical weather there are indeed some downsides to it e.g. humidity, makeup meltdown etc. So here are few tips to help you stay pretty this season.

Now the general idea here is that your makeup should be light but yet it should accentuate your features. For starters…

Ice it up:

A pro-tip here. Rub ice cube on your face for about 5 minutes after face cleanse and prior to makeup.

• This will help to avoid excess sweating.
• This will calm down the skin prior to makeup
• Preps the skin for more heavy products
• Oil on the face can be controlled
• They close down the pores or atleast minimize them for time being

Gel based Primer:

Primers are essential part of a makeup routine. It not only smoothen your skin and preps it as a canvas for makeup but also helps to avoid makeup meltdown havoc due to humidity.

Primers like Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer – Oil Free or Inglot Under Makeup Base or much cheaper option Miss Claire Clear Face Primer

Two-way Cake:

Use a two-way cake (Two-way cake foundation is something that comes in a pressed powder form for setting the base but when it comes in contact with water it can be used pretty much as a foundation with sheer coverage) rather than a liquid or a mousse foundation for this time of the year, or better yet if your skin does not need much of coverage the just slap on some powder foundation and you’re good to go.

The advantage to this is that it will not meltdown with excessive humidity and also it is easier to touch up throughout the day.

One of the good options and easily available in India is Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Two Way Cake Foundation

No-No Powder blush: 

Instead of the good old powder blush, switch to a cheek tint (Tint as in a stain, it has intense color but blends to a sheer and natural finish, aka skin like finish). All you have to do is dab a pea sized amount of the product on to the apples of your cheeks and blend it in with the fingers. The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint.

Cheaper alternative to this though, would be your lipstick, same process take a little product on your fingers, dab it on your cheeks and done.

Light on Eyes:

Go light on the eye makeup as it will be extremely annoying when you are dripping in water and your eye makeup is completely ruined.

Switch to a lighter hand when it comes to eye makeup and when you go all the way make sure to switch to the water proof version of eye products such as mascara, eyeliners etc.

Sugar Eye Told You So! Waterproof Eyeliner is a great option as it is water proof and also turns matte after application.Perfect for the season. Mascara wise Maybelline Volum’ Express Colossal Waterproof

Bright on lips:

Unlike eye makeup I feel in this season you are free to wear bright lip colors. (p.s. that’s my though) because the bright color in this beautiful weather will totally pep up your look. Bright colors such as fuchsia, Tangerine, orange, plums etc.

Although make sure to opt for a matte version and specially liquid lipsticks. As they wont mess up or bleed and stay put through out the day.

Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip creme (suggested to buy from local stores), Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick, Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stain

Spray to set:

Last but not the least, if you want to go an extra mile than use a makeup setting spray to lock you makeup for the day (that almost rhymed!). Anyways, moving on. makeup setting spray will make sure that your makeup lasts all day long and does not budge throughout the day.

Personally I haven’t used a makeup setting spray so I don have much to say on this topic yet.

MAC Fix + Spray this is one of the best ones by far and have amazing reviews as well. 

So there you go guys, here are some of my tips to survive looking pretty through this rainy season. Hope you liked them and put them in action for your day-to-day makeup routine. If so then pls COMMENT down below and hit LIKE for more

JUNE 2016 Beauty Faves

Hey guys,

First of all I’m very sorry for missing out on last months faves but to be honest I did not have much to buy or to share back then, so I skipped a month. But, this month I have shopped quite a bit and also loved them all and thus I’m gonna share all that with you… So let’s get started

This time I have divided monthly favorites in two categories

1. Beauty And Makeup Faves
2. Fashion Haul & Faves

Starting with BEAUTY & MAKEUP FAVES for June, 2016

• FACES Hydro Makeup Remover
• SIVANNA COLORS Shimmer Brick in 05
• NYKAA Nail Enamel in Lilac Cupcake
• MISS CLAIR Lip Cream in 02

FACES Hydro Makeup Remover

I have been using this product since a year now and I’m already on my second bottle. So I thought I should share it with ya’ll. This is a water based, light weight makeup remover. It is gentle on the skin and does not tug or leave any residue after application. This product has so far done great with me and so is one of my faves. I have also done a full review on this Click here. BUY HERE

SIVANNA COLORS Shimmer Brick in 05

Sivanna Colors Shimmer brick 05 is the dupe for Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar. It has a beautiful peachy gold mixture of colors. It would suit Indian skin tone like an dream. The pigmentation is great, texture and finish are fairly good as well. For Rs 350 (I bought it from ALFA stores, Mumbai) I found this product totally worth as I would either use it as a highlighter, or swirl my brush in it and use it as a blush or even pack it on as a nice shimmery eye shadow. BUY HERE (prices online may differ)

NYKAA Nail Enamel in Lilac Cupcake

Nykaa.com has come out with various ranges and different collections of nail polishes since a year now I guess. I wanted to try if for the longest time now and this is the first one I bought. First of all the quality of these nail paints are amazing, wear time is superb. It does not chip or loose its glossy texture in a day or two. Overall this product is by far one of the best I have tried and I highly recommend it. Now on to the color I actually bought two of them but my fave is this color, it has been all the rage amongst the Indian YouTubers this summer. It is a beautiful ‘powder blue color with a purple undertone’. It looks lovely when applied and suits any nail shape whatsoever. To BUY click here

MISS CLAIR Lip Cream in 02

Miss Clair Lip creams are again dupes for NYX Soft Matte Lip creams.(P.S NYX Now available on nykaa.com). These lips creams are almost half a price of the original ones. They  have beautiful mousse like texture, application wise they are pretty smooth and the color pay off is amazing. This color though is a subtle nude color, when worn alone looks as if its just your natural lips and when worn with a nice heavy smokey eye it gives a nice netural feel and just pulls the look together. The prices vary from Rs 140 – Rs 250 in general beauty stores however online the prices are a little higher. I suggest that you buy it from the stores rather than online. But incase you would want to buy online Do check out SnapDeal, Amazon and Flipkart.

So those were my beauty favorites for June, what are yours do write it down in the COMMENTS. Do LIKE it, if you enjoyed reading and stay tunes for my Fashion Haul & Faves post.

Also do share it. Cya soon

Product Review: Faces Hydro Makeup Remover

Hey guys,
Today I’m reviewing Faces Hydro Makeup Remover which is by far my favourite makeup remover. I can say that because I’m already on my second bottle.

About the Product : Faces Hydro Makeup Remover comes in a box. It is green colored water based formula in a standard pump spray bottle container.

It retails for ₹399 for 100 ml and has a shelf like of almost 3 years.

I bought it for ₹351 during the Nykaa Rainbow sale! Click here to buy

My Experience: I came across this product  in August, 2015 during Nykaa Independence sale I guess and ever since I have been hooked to it. I was already on the hunt for a new makeup remover. I previously used Lakme Absolute Bi-Phased makeup remover which was oil based, so i needed a change anyway. So I ordered it and gave it a try and loved it

This product is very gentle on the skin. Unlike oil based makeup removers this does not tug the skin while makeup removal or cling to the skin n leave it’s residue.

It takes off eye makeup and face makeup with a swipe. Unless it’s a heavy eye makeup it might need a second helping. But none the less it is super light weight on the eyes and does not burn or itch after use

Usually I use 2-3 pumps on a cotton pad and swipe it across my face and eyes and it does the job.

Pros:

* Consists of a water based formula

* It is rich in antioxidants

* Great for all skin types

* works quickly

* Doesn’t leave residue

* Does not cling to the skin post application

* Gentle on the eyes

Cons:
* it is a water based formula so there are chances that it might spill during travel. (Unless you contain it in a zip lock bag you are good to go)

* Two helpings for a heavy makeup removal

I would not compare it to Garnier Micellar water or Bioderma sensibio h2o cleansing makeup remover as I have not used them but I can say that this is by far the best water based makeup cleanser in the Indian market plus it is pocket friendly as well.

So ya’ll that was my review about the product. Hope you liked it and if so give a LIKE and COMMENT down below. If you want to see more of such product reviews then do FOLLOW my blog.

Also do share it. Cya soon

Sunscreens: What,Why & How

Hey Everyone,

First of all apologies for delay on the posts, but today I have something very important to share. For people in India Sun damage is one of the most common yet neglected problems. People here are not much bothered as to why it is important to protect oneself from the Sun. So today I have answers to three common questions related to this topic What, Why and How.

WHAT?

What is Sun-Protection and what are the causes of damage from the sun rays? . The Ultraviolet rays exerted from the sun are the cause of this damage. They are of three types

• UVA
• UVB
• UVC.

Now UVC rays never passes through and reaches on earth but UVA and UVB are the ones to worry about.

WHY?

The purpose of a sunscreen or a sunblock is to shield the body from these UV rays.

The combine effect of these rays ultimately leads to SKIN CANCER promotion. Thus to protect the skin from such harmful effects it is ideal to apply either a sunblock or a sunscreen.

HOW?

It is a myth that one should apply sunscreen only when exposed to the sun. Indoor or Outdoor regardless of that the application of sunscreen is must as the UVA rays are everywhere. They can easily penetrate through windows and clothes.

Application of sunscreen should be more of a lifestyle and a habit rather than just a temporary precaution.It should be applied all over the face and body as well. Once applied it should be reapplied after ever three-four hours to get the complete benefit.

There are various high-end as well as local brands in India that provide sunscreens these days. So it is ideal to choose a sunscreen with minimum  of Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 and PA++ . Some of the commonly used and available sunscreen in India

• Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ BUY HERE

• VLCC Matte Look Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 BUY HERE

• The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso UV Protector BUY HERE

• Lotus Herbals Safe Sun UV Screen Matte Gel SPF 50 BUY HERE

So, I know this post was a little old school theoretical but regardless of that I hope ya’ll liked it and found it helpful. If so the please LIKE and COMMENT with your views.
