As much as I love doing makeup, I indulge in a lot of skincare essentials too. With a budget of 5000 Rupees I have created a beauty kit that can be used every day with variations. There are a lot of looks that can be created with few right products and that’s what the haul is all about...
FACE
For face, I have selected products that aid swift transformation from day to night. For regular wear I have opted for Colorbar cover up cream with an SPF of 15. This is a light cover up cream that can be worn daily to hide blemishes, marks and even out the skintone and with SPF 15 it will protect skin against sun. It adds a warmer tone to the skin for night time, or a party and acts as a perfect base for the makeup. For office and regular day wear, I have added colorbar Compaq that effortlessly spreads well on the face and skin. It acts like a quick beauty fix for a sudden meeting or last minute party plans. Lastly, I added a L’Oreal Lucent Magique blusher that comprises of three unique shades that will give perfect balance and highlight to the skin for both day and night wear. Daytime typically call for lighter makeup, so the muted colous will be used for the same and for a more dramatic effect, I will highlight my cheeks with the darker shade of my L’Oreal blush on.
EYES
Nothing goes well on the eyes than nicely pigmented Kohl. I purchased my all-time favourite Maybelline Colossal Kajal that glides smoothly on waterline and can be worn daily. I will also be using it as a liner to create bold lines on the eyes for a more glamorous look. For eye makeup, I purchased Diamond Glow Quad. Copper Brown eye shadow palette from Maybelline. When I have to create a more relaxed look, I will be using the cooler undertones in beige to highlight my eyes and for parties; I will create a statement with brown Smokey eye makeup that compliments all outfits and colours.
Lips
For glitzy evenings and blogger events, I have chosen the berry red lipshade from Revlon. It’s rich & bold colour turns any simple looking outfit into a head-turning fashion statement. Also, I have taken a nude lip gloss, again from Revlon which is my go to accessory which perfectly embraces the multi-faceted qualities of a modern woman! It looks stunning with any chic outfit; it can be used to gloss any matte lip shade or can directly be applied to office, meetings and brunch dates.
Looking good is not just about your clothes, or makeup, it comes from within. My skin care essentials and regime gives me the confidence that makes any outfit look good on me. Makeup removing oil is an indispensable product that every girl must own. I purchased the Bio Almond Oil soothing Face Eye make-up cleanser for women from Biotique. Rich in almond oil extracts, this cleanser will clean the pores off makeup and removes excess oil too. Once makeup is off, I will use my Kaya Skin Clinic purifying cleanser to get a healthier, brighter and clearer skin. What I really love about this cleanser is that it not only removes excess oils, dirt and impurities but also regulates sebum formation and acne breakouts with its active ingredient, Salicylic Acid to combat breakouts. It’s an absolute value for money. After I am done with cleansing, I like to let my skin breathe and that’s why I have opted for Forest Essentials Pure Rose Water Facial Mist. It can replace a heavy moisturizer as it contains nourishing floral and herbal extracts which not only hydrates skin but it also regulates its pH balance it’s quick and easy to apply and smells absolutely fresh. Last but not the least is my Jojoba facial scrub from Nutri Glow. Since I use makeup on a regular basis, I scrub my face twice a week to maintain it and to remove black heads. This facial scrub from nutri glow has Jojoba oil, that keeps the skin hydrated all day long. Featuring granules, this scrub helps remove blemishes and superficial pigmentation.
