THINGS TO BUY OR NOT-MAKEUP ADDITION

Hello everyone... I decided to do a mini review on some make up products, I have some products which I like and some I regret buying so i don't want u all to spend money on things which are not worth. whether its $1 or $50 it should be useful, ok today am reviewing on some affordable makeup products like Essence,Lakme, Color combos, Catrice. 
makelifesimplewithme

So today i have six products to review...Soon I'll do a review on skin care addition on things to buy or not comment bellow which product review u want to see...

Essence mosaic blush:
When I went to gaurdian i found esssence section at the corner as people where talking so much on essence products I really wanna give a try on this brand, and I bought essence mosaic blush what caught my eye is the names of these blushes I really loved it.. The shade is 20 all you need is pink...
makelifesimplewithme

The texture of the powder is really soft but its not as pigmented as I expected and the shade doesn't suit Indian/wheatish skin tone it just don't show up so well.. I think i should have tried different shade but as its not pigmented i think its a waste to invest on this product...
The powdered blush is composed of 3-shades.
makelifesimplewithme

To buy or not: I'll never buy and not recommended...

Essence and color combos lipstics:
essence and color combos lipstics

As am a lipstick addict recently am into nudes, and bought so many nude lipstics so today am doing a review on 3 nude lipstics which i bought from Sasa Singapore and Guardian Singapore
I bought 2 lipsticks fom color combos one is in the shade 01 and the other is 08.. As they are mineral lipsticks they are very hydrating on lips and u dont need any lip balm before this lipstics... And the packaing also looks attractive but thimg is it don't stay long as they are affordable for the price can't expect more..
make life simple with me

The essence lipsticks are also good in texture and they are shimmer lipsticks its in the shade 10 and even this is quite hydrating..

To buy or not: yes, can buy this product..

Lakme absolute perfect radiance:
makelifesimplewithme

Lakme is a well know brand and am using lakme products from so many years -Lakme absolute perfect radiance I started to use this from my college days, back then i used to love this product but now they have changed the packaging and they have changed the formulations as well... It make my face more dry and patchy which i don't want ..One reason Why I used to love this is because it has sunscreen with it and it smells like heaven i love the smell of Lakme absolute perfect radiance.. 

To buy or not:  yes, can buy...It's not good for dry skin people, if u have oily to normal skin and if ur a college going girl or on budget then this product is really good....

Catrice Eye liner pen:
makelifesimplewithme

Catrice cosmetics products are quite affordable you can find this in watsons and Guardian in Singapore.. As this is affordable makeup product review am talking about what all brands we can get easily.. Ok talking about the eye liner pen its water proof eyeliner pen with felt tip for a precise line, extra long lasting this what they claim... Yes, it's waterproof, long lasthing agreed but this lasted me for 3 to four uses later the dark black color is not showing what's the use of buy a product for 3 uses...

To buy or not : no, not to buy this product.

clinique even better brightening moisture cream plus

Hello everyone...As I decided to give my skin a good care with some good  skin care products the first product I decided is CLINIQUE even better brightening moisture cream plus as Clinique is a well known brand....

Oh!!! Well every girl needs a good/healthy skin, nobody likes dry/damaged skin- for that we all should take care of our skin with some good products which is trust worthy... So as u all know I have been using Clinique even better brightening moisture cream plus for one month now as I have posted on instagram a month ago, so here i am reviewing this product....

makelifesimplewithme

As they recommended this product for very dry to dry combination skin ,so if your oily skin then this is not for you... It has a thick texture which really takes quite a bit time to get absorbed into the skin, but once its absorbed it doesn't feel heavy on the skin...
makelifesimplewithme

It can be used both as day and night cream, because the cream is thick it makes the makeup look dewy -so i prefer to use it in the night...It hydrates the skin and brightens the face after the regular use..
makelifesimplewithme

The best part of this cream is its fragrance free, and its formulated for Asian skins ... And con's are its pacaking no spatcula or pump same old school packaging which i don't like...
makelifesimplewithme

After using for a month daily it has made my skin smooth and brighten, but I still have dark areas on my face so i'll continue using this product for more result and for sure i'll update it on this blog as well... A must buy for dry skin people and for those who don't like fragrance in cream or allergic to some smell you can buy this its fragrance free...

what's in my travel makeup bag- beginners guide

Hello everyone!!!! well its a vacation time for me, as me and my husband travelled recently to Vietnam it was a short vacation for four days.. oh,it was such an awesome place..OK let me stop talking about travel and talk about my travel makeup bag, hope i can become travel blogger as well :) lol..Wearing makeup during summers  are really difficult

While packing to my vacation I decided to do a blog on what's in my travel make up bag it's so interesting to know what others carry in their makeup bag,let me know what you all carry in the comment box:) as am just a begginer- i thought that might help some one like me..

makelifesimplewithme
Foundation/bb cream:
Choose your makeup based on the weather/climate where your going- if its to humid better choose a good bb cream or cc cream rather then a foundation. I always wear a bb cream during the day it gives minimal coverage which is fine for me and am sorted for the day... but night i need a foundation with good coverage... So for this trip i have choosen maybelline clear glow BB cream and loreal true match Foundation..



makelifesimplewithme
Concealer:
concealer a must have in your makeup bag, what ever if u miss to take while traveling one good concealer will make your day.. I have choosen L.A. girl pro concealer this is my all time favourite i'll be using the same in all my makeup.... Am opssesed with this product..

Foundation powder/compact pressed powder:
Applying foundation /concealer is important to get the good base for a foundation setting up this base is as important as applying a foundation/concealer.. For setting the base we need a good pressed powder so i have taken maybelline clearsmooth original pressed powder...

Eyeliner/Eye pencile:
Eyeliner and eye pencile are something like life savers it just instantly brightens your eye and am not a great fan of coloured eye penciles which really gives a different loo but i always go for khol black colour..here i have taken lakme eye pencile and catrice cosmetics eye liner pen Water proof.

Eyeshadow:
Eye shadow pallet comes handy during the times when you want to glam up your make up- as a I have told u before am just a begginer i like the wet and wild eye shadow pallet a lot....As i don't wear heavy eye makeup for the smooked look this is just perfect.......

Mascara:
While traveling we will be tiered while seeing the tourisum places but we all need that best photos of ours at the places where we go mascara wakes up the eyes which i like so a good water proof mascara is a must in your travel makeup bag..I always swear by maybelline the colossal volume Express water proof mascara..
makelifesimplewithme

Eyebrow pencile:
without doing a eyebrow the makeup never completes right?? I have choosen sasatinnie eyebrow pencile in the shade dark brown which is a well known brand in Singapore...

Blush/Bronzer:
Applying blush is my favourite it always make u fall in love with u:) Essence mosaic blush and what  I like in essence blushes is the names they give the shade name in all you need is pink look at that so I love essence products...

Lip balm/lipstick: 
Lipbalm i am big addict to maybelline baby lips so that should always be with me... lipstick I always carry two shades of lipstick with me this time I have choosed ELLE 18 color pops
and essence glamour queen..

Makeup brushes:
I always carry this small/travel size makeup brushes from forever 21 which has really soft bristles...  

Lacto Calamine skin balance daily nourishing lotion for oil skin

Hello everyone!! Well Lacto calamine brand doesn't need any Introduction right,as we have seen it from few generations and it was launched by piramal Healthcare..Today am reviewing Lacto calamine skin balance daily nourishing lotion for oil to normal skin... I do know why my skin has become weird nowadays,may be due to the weather change it has become oily and if i wear makeup it looks shine and am not getting the matte finish look...

So i decided to change my dry skin moisturiser to oil control moisturiser or oil skin moisturiser.... what ever lactocalamine was a old brand for me but never tried back in India but when i saw them i just decided to give a try and am using it from 3months now and i really like this..

Lacto calamine skin balance daily nourishing lotion comes in 3 different sizes 30ml,60ml and 120ml. If u want to try for the first time go for the 30ml size..

What it claims?
Lacto calamine skin balance daily nourishing lotion for oil control with kaolin+Glycerin and it says this is for oily to normal skin... A Water based lotion with tri action formula that absorbs excessive oil and gives you a problem free clear skin every day.

  • Kaolin absorbs excessive oil secretion and removes acne causing dead cells
  • Zinc oxide helps unclog pores by preventing bacterial growth 
  • Glycerin prevents excessive drying of the skin and retains natural moisture
water based,non greasy,alcohol free

My opinion:
As of the pacaking it doesn't have pump and its not travel friendly pacaking,and the lotion is littile thin so u can't control the flow of the lotion coming out. It is has a strong smell which i don't like apart from these two things it does what they claim it really controls the oil and its non greasy as they mention, it has a shelf life till 2021 june so thats a quite long time. 

Price in Singapore-$4.90SGD(Mustaffa Singapore)for 120ml
Price in India-Rs 280(amazon) for 120ml

How to use?
Wash your face with regular face wash which u use and apply this all over the face and then apply your makeup above this by this way ur makeup never crease...

Will I repurchase it?
YES, I'll repurchase it is affordable and a best product for oily /acne prone skin....

5 Things which helps to stop pleasing everyone and live your life

Hello everyone!!! Many times in our life we pretend like we are doing what we like but actually we are just pretending:) yes we all do it... so pretending and pleasing is a different word but when u pretend to be happy Ur not happy the same way if Ur pleasing someone its not for Ur happiness so either way Ur not happy.....

So today am talking about stop pleasing everyone and live your life guys we just have one life why should we waste pleasing others....

  • START SAYING NO:
 The first thing u should learn is saying no to people.. I know saying no to people is a difficult thing but that's the best thing u can do to stop being a people pleaser...  Just start saying Ur reasons for not wanting something or going somewhere...Say No in a way that feels good to you,but in a way that is Strong.

Stop giving excuses and be honest and give a truthful reason that should not be rude on their face........For the first few times saying No might be difficult or might feel guilty but thats okay its the better feeling then doing something which u don't like...  if u keep doing this that person may find other solution for their problems or find some one to hangout with..


  • YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE EVERYONE & EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE TO LIKE YOU:
Yes in this world every individual has their own character to play, each one is different ,why others take your loved ones u'll get so many good things which u like in them and at the same time u find many negatives as well... That doesn't mean u don't like that person u just don't like a particular thing about that person thats okay,no one is perfect.... The same way u can't please everyone everytime just be yourself If they don't like u thats their problem u don't need to change untill if Ur not doing anything wrong.........



  • AVOID PEOPLE WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR PEOPLE PLEASING TENDENCIES:
Many times we don't have choice then avoiding some people,some people just take advantage of your people pleasing which sometime U'll come to know and u can't do anything but I'll say just keep them away or let them go away from your life... They will deliberately push u,no matter how many times u say no.....If its not possible to let them go from your life just maintain a healthy distance from them......



  • SET YOUR BOUNDARIES:
Before setting your boundries first make a note of things u have done which u doesn't like doing it and make sure that Ur not doing it again... If u don't want to do it, don't do it make it in ur mind... Every one has their own boundries for them self which things to do and not to do now set boundries to say no to things which are against your honesty, to negetive people or negetive energy..

  • DO SOMETHING WHICH U LIKE AND NEVER DONE IT:
We all have some thing in our life which we have never told anyone or done something which we like thinking what people think.....Start with some small things like color Ur hair, have a pearcing.. Just be happy and love yourself  
I have article on love your self click the link above on love yourself...

Hello everyone, today am reviewing Sally Hansen Fast and Gentle Nail Polish Remover with Vitamin E and Aloe vera, Sally Hansen is a well known brand, so there is no need to give a introduction  on the brand..... Recently I ran out of my older nail polish remover and went to buy a new one, their i found the Sally Hansen fast and gentle nail polish remover with Vitamin E & Aloe vera and i purchased, used almost 5 to 6 times and so I decided to write a review on this product..............

The main thing that caught my eye in this product is MOISTURIZING for dry, brittle nails.........

My opinion?
It removes the nail polish very quikly and gentle, i just take a cotton ball and dip in the remover once and that removes the whole nail polish from my hand.... 

The only thing that I didn't like is the packaging, when ur taking the product on cotton pad if u tilt more then athe whole product will be out and the smell of acetone which for some time irritates your nose.......non- travel friendly packaging is the only cons of this product......

The best thing about Sally Hansen nail polish remover is it doesn't leave white casts after cleaning,doesn't dry your nail, and it is quite affordable.... U'll get a whole bulk of product which is good...

Price- $5-$6 for 8fl oz 236.5 ml

Beginners Drug Store Foundation And Concealer Routine For Indian Skin Tone

Make up is an addiction if U start wearing it u can't leave without it..... Many of us have uneven skin tone, blemishes,acne what ever it is we all are beautiful with our own skin- but some time we need to look more beautiful then we are, so here am starting the basics of make up............ How i do my foundation and concealer using drug store products........ When Ur a beginner just try some Drug store products which are affordable once u have some idea on make up U can start with the high end product........
This is my foundation and concealer picture with no other products on my face...........i haven't used eye liner ,lipstick,blush even my eyebrow is not done.....

FOUNDATION:


Foundation is some thing which comes with a different shades and different undertones.. Based on Ur undertone u can choose the foundation or if u get confused just ask the lady in the shop to help u out to get the correct shade of foundation..........Am using L'Oreal Paris True match foundation I usually prefer Liquid foundation and am in the shade Gold Beige,G4. This true match foundation is a liquid foundation which is easily bendable and has medium coverage -I always put one layer if i don't need much coverage which is OK for me.. Layering too much of foundation on to Ur skin leads to caking. This is one of my favorite drug store foundation......

TIPS -Apply primer before applying foundation which mattifies the skin and then apply foundation, never use fingers to apply your foundation -the heat produced from the finger tips will melt the foundation and after some time your makeup looks cakey....Use beauty blender or foundation brush.....Take a beauty blender run under tap water and squeeze the water and take a pump of the foundation and Bounce the sponge all over the face- don't rub the foundation into the skin...

CONCEALER 


Concealers are used to hide the hyper pigmentation,blemish,acne -now a days highlighting is on trend u can use 1 or 2 lighter shades of concealer to highlight and exact same shade as Ur skin tone to cover your dark circle, hyper pigmentation.....Am using my drug store L.A Girl PRO CONCEALER in the shade cool tan GC980.. I use it for under eye dark circles, blemishes and hyper pigmentation....

TIPS- Apply concealer in a v shape under your eye use the damp beauty blender to blend the concealer, always look up when blending concealer under eye so it wont show up fine lines under the eye after some time..... To get a flawless look just keep blending your foundation and concealer.......
