Elf Haul & Express Review

Hi guys,

As far as brands go I love ELF products, but they are quite mostly in India hence whenever my friend is coming back to India from US I make sure he gets few ELF products for me.

During his this visit I got below products from Target. It’s great when you have people to mule your stuff and you don’t have to pay shipping and customs on it, hence I got it super cheap.

Products I got:

1.      ELF Mineral infused face primer (6$)

2.      ELF tone adjusting face primer (6$)

3.      ELF makeup mist and set spray (3$)

4.      ELF Setting powder in sheer (6$)

5.      ELF baked highlighter in moonlight Pearls (4$)

 Ingredients:

My thoughts
All the products come in standard black thick paper outer packing, with one side transparent to see the products inside.


ELF face Primers:
It comes in frosted plastic bottles which has pump to dispel the product. Colour is coordinated with the colour of the product.
ELF Mineral infused face primer is transparent primer which provides skin with added benefits of minerals.

ELF tone adjusting face primer is purple colour primer which does help to even out the face to some extent.

Both the primers feel silky wet on skin. It’s not silicone base primer as per me, and gets easily absorbed in skin. They make skin smooth and creates great base for the makeup to glide on.
Only a pea sized product is required for entire face. It works well and has increase the stay time of my makeup by 4 to 5 hours. It is lightweight and non-greasy, which is great for even oily-combination skin.
Only thing I would have changes would be in packaging, to make it feasible for me to know how much product is visible.  I’m quite happy with all other things about them, but to be quite honest they are not the best products in market, and not a must buy.
ELF Setting powder (Sheer)
This comes in small tub with netted cap so we can get the required amount from it. It also comes with excellent quality puff. Tub is quite sturdy and very travel friendly.

The powder is white in color and extremely finely milled. It feels super smooth and works very well for baking as well of setting the face. Biggest pro is it photographs really well and doesn’t give any white cast in pics.
It has good stay time and touch ups are not require for min 3-4 hrs. this is my go to powder for all purposes and I’ll definitely recommend buying this one.

ELF makeup mist and set spray

It is housed in black plastic bottle with spray pump. I wish it was bit sheer so that I could see the amount of product let in bottle. Also, nozzle is nothing to write home about and I’m not super impressed with it.

It was quite a task for me to use this one as the nozzle is real pain to use but the product works, So I’m happy. It has increased the stay time by 4 hrs without primer underneath and my makeup doesn’t melt even in the heat & humidity of Mumbai. Once sprayed it gets absorbed under a minute and doesn’t have any offensive smell as such. The biggest pro is that this is alcohol free setting spray.

I’ll recommend this one if you can get it easily.
ELF baked highlighter in moonlight Pearls

This beauty comes in small blush case and is dome in shaped. It has transparent cover which feels very flimsy. Overall the packaging could have been better.  

The product looks very hard to touch but is quite pigmented and gives blindly glow if gone overboard with it. It had fine shimmer and looks very beautiful when blended. It gives almost natural radiance if used sparingly and blended well.
It is golden in color hence looks really well on girls with yellow undertones. It doesn’t fell chunky and it doesn’t exaggerate the texture of the face and blending seamlessly. It quite forgiving to the flaws and bumps on face. Very little product is required for each use hence the product will last quite long.
It has stay time of 5 hrs. overall, I really like this highlighter but I prefer my makeup revolution highlighter to this one. Buy it if you get it cheap and if you want to try baked highlighter to normal powdered one. But not really a must buy.

Benefit Go TropiCORAL Kit: Review


So recently I broke my Sephora virginity by visiting the newly open Sephora in High street phoenix mall. I’m so happy that at last Sephora has opened in Mumbai. I know its old news but as you guys know by now I’m lazy so sue me…It was still exciting for me to go there. Coming back to point, I picked few products from the most Coveted brand Benefit

If you want to try couple of products from benefit but do not want to spend a bomb on them or if you are not sure if it will suits you then Benefit has come up with awesome solution to it. It’s Kit. So basically a kit consists of various deluxe samples of their popular products. I got their kit in Benefit Go TropiCORAL.

It contains below products:


So this is what the Kit looks like.

Packing: 

I love its packing. It’s somehow beautiful blend of being really cute and exceptionally sturdy, which makes it extremely travel friendly. The tint & High beam is housed in small sturdy plastic bottles with good applicators.  Coralista Blush is embedded in the kit itself but can be easily deported if need be. Applicator is of good quality but a bit scratchy. Ultra Plush Coralista Lipgloss comes in plastic tube that has nozzle which helps it to apply the product easily.

My Experience: (With each product individually)

Benefit Chacha tint:

It was probably the first tint I ever knew about. Benefit describes it as mango tinted lip and cheek tint but in reality it’s a nice orangey - peachy shade which looks quite lovely on the skin. I have fair to medium skin tone and it gives appearance of a nice radiant looking skin. It makes my skin look naturally flushed like after a good workout. As it is a tint it works in very subtle way, but color is definitely buildable. .

It dries very quickly so need to blend it fast else it will give patchy finish. It has very impressive stay time; it lasted for 5 hrs in such humid climatic condition of Mumbai. As the name suggest it’s made for lips as well, but I prefer to wear it on cheeks as it dries my lips and then look extremely patchy and gross.

All in all I really like it for days when I’m too lazy and want to look natural but put together.

Benefit High Beam

As per the description provided by Benefit, it’s described as luminescent skin enhancer which is lot of fancy words for a highlighter. It is a very nice satiny pink color highlighter which works well for people with pink undertones. My skin has yellow undertones hence it looks bit off on my skin, which is a shame as I had lot of expectation from it. It blends beautifully and gives very subtle glow and makes you look radiant and glowing without making you look like disco ball.

It comes with applicator wand which is of good quality and does a good job. I was bit disappointed with it but will definitely find a way around the pink undertones.

Benefit Coralista Blush

One of benefits bestseller, Benefit Box O' Powder CORALista blush described as a warm, coral- pink cheek powder (Blush). It has gold micro shimmer which again gives very nice glow to the skin. I like to use it as blush and highlighter all in one package. My inner lazy is always happy with such product.  It would suit most of skin tones, but darker skin beauties might have trouble with it showing up as the color is very neutral and only gives naturally flushed skin. It has pretty good staying powers and fades evenly after 3-4 hrs.

Mini Powder Brush

The Benefit Box O' Powder CORALista blush is accompanied with this small cute brush, which is only decent thing about it. It doesn’t really work and is very scratchy to the skin. So basically, a waste.

Benefit Ultra Plush Coralista Lipgloss

Last but not the least is Benefit Ultra Plush Coralista which as per benefit is a sheer coral color lipgloss and they could not have described it better as it really is a very sheer gloss. It adds just a hint of color to the lips but a lot of gloss. Since its gloss it’s not at all long lasting and disappears in 1 hrs. Max. It has sweet smell but not over the top and is not very stick in texture. Personally I’m not a fan of gloss so will definitely give it to some once else who would appreciate it better.

Overall, I think it’s a fantastic kit as it lets you try a lot of products without having to buy them individually, and I loved almost all the products from it.

Makeup Revolution Protection Pallet : Review


Hello everyone..

Today I’m going to review Makeup Revolution Protection Pallet. I absolutely love products from Makeup Revolution as they have really good quality products at extremely affordable prices. 
makeupdrama.blogspot.in

I personally feel that makeup is all about getting your basics right!  And often that is where most of us tend to go wrong.. 

Thanks to Makeup Revolution for coming to our rescue by providing us with pallet that has all base related products in place. They have come up with a beautiful pallet called Makeup Revolution Protection Pallet that have combination of 3 different toned concealers, pressed powder, blush, highlighter and bronzer, so you really do have everything you need to perfect your base. Along with that pallet it has really good quality large mirror. Yay!!

 I’m already impressed with the product just because it has all essential products in 1 pallet.

The Makeup Revolution Protection Pallet are available in four different color variants depending on skin tone, so there’s Light, Light/Medium, Medium/Dark and Dark. 
I have this pallet in Medium shade

Price: 1350 INR but I got it for 30% discount from Jabong. You can also get even get it on Nyakk.com
makeupdrama.blogsppot.in


Packaging:

It comes in standard makeup revolution packing which is classy black and rose gold. What I like the most about the packing is that it is classy simple and to the point with all the necessary information. It is nice sturdy pallet and completely travel friendly so that you can carry it around for touchups. 

It has 3 concealers of 3.5 gms each, 7.2 gms of Face powder and 4 Gms each of blusher, highlighter and bronzer. I feel it is sufficient quantity and it totally justifies the price of product..

Ingredients:

Experience:

I had really wonderful experience with this pallet and I’m totally in love with it. Let’s check each item individually to know why I’m head over heels in love with it.

 Concealers: 

Like I said before, there are 3 concealers on the left side of pallet in light, medium and dark shade. Concealers are nice thick, smooth and super creamy in texture. They are extremely easy to blend and to work with. I feel like they have cream to powder type formula so they don’t look cakey when applied to eye area or blemishes. 

It doesn't provide full coverage but are still good for everyday use. Light one is too light for me so mostly I use it for subtle highlighting. As there are 3 concealers one can mix and match them to suit their skin tone perfectly.

Once they are set with powder they are good for at least 5 -6 hours without touch ups. Even with its creamy texture it doesn't slide or causes oily looking skin. Despite their creaminess they are very light weight and look absolutely natural once blended and set with powder.

Compressed Face Powder:


Next up is compressed face powder. It has soft silky smooth texture and the shade suits my skin perfectly. I normally just use it for my under eye and T zone. I love its light weight formula and translucent dewy finish it imparts to my face.
makeupdrama.blogsppot.in

Bronzer Blush and Highlighter:

Bronzer, blush and Highlighter are perfect for contouring. They are extremely pigmented and can be easily compared with high end brands.

Just one swipe of highlighter is sufficient to impart natural glow to the face without looking over the top. It is so insanely pigmented that if not used wisely one can really end up looking like a disco ball.

Contouring powder is matte powder with no orange or red undertones that makes it perfect for contouring. It is my most favourite item from the pallet.

Blush is in nice dusty rose pink which gives beautiful natural flush to the skin. Again blush is insanely pigmented and need to be used sparingly. It is perfect for daily use. 
makeupdrama.blogsppot.in

All the three together makes a perfect combo for Indian skin tone. Just like powder they are really smooth and have silky texture. They bend beautifully to give very natural and flawless effect. Plus they have amazing staying power..

I just can’t tell you give how much I love this pallet and I cannot recommend it enough.
makeupdrama.blogsppot.in


Pros:
  1.   Great all in one pallet that caters to all basic makeup needs.
  2. Affordable
  3. Extremely good quality and quantity of products provided
  4.  Highly pigmented
  5.  Non comedogenic products 
  6. Travel friendly
  7. Good variants for all skin tones. 
  8. Variety of concealers to mix and get exact colour 
  9. Sturdy packing 
Cons:

None!!

 Overall thoughts:

I totally love Makeup Revolution Protection Pallet and it has always come in handy in all the situations. I only have this one makeup product in my bag as it does all the jobs if I ever wanted to touch up my makeup. 

Rating: 5/5

Recommendation: I highly recommend it and I personally feel that it’s a must have product.
