MUA Undressed Palette Swatches!

So who owns the cult Urban Decay naked Palette?? Raise ur hands! And The MUA Undressed Palette?? Take ur seats on the dais ;) Cuz u my smart dearies have saved a lot of bucks!

I got this as a part of my small MUA haul :) Not started to play with the palette so just swatching the colors :) The darker shades are more pigmented (no surprises there! ) while the lighter ones will give a pretty wash of neutral color over the lids :) Did not find any shade to be chalky ;)

The Swatches!!

The shades 3 and 5 do show up on my lid but refused to show up on the swatches :\ 3 is cream white shade with lil brown in it and 5 is dull brown shade u can use all over the lids :) My favorites of the lot are 9 and 10 :D 

So what shades do u dig?? 

Ciao!

Lipstick It's u this tym! And Chennai Bloggers Meet!

Shweta had cooked yummy marwadi food :D       We had Veg Jalfrezi (My fav), Bhaigan bartha,Panchratna dal and Aloo gobi mattar sabzi with Roti. And sprouts salad with Real orange juice!

 

Then Shweta showed us her makeup and did contouring on me :D :P I was so sleepy and was making faces cuz I hate foundations :P She also did eye makeup on Rads! Deepika showed me the Inglot and Sleek illuminator. I didn't take a liking then.But now I want to buy the Inglot one :D 

Before leaving we had fruit and cream dessert :D We had a blast and am already looking forward to meeting the gals again ;) 

I got some Avon Lipsticks from Deeps :) She also gifted me the Oriflame Pure color lipstick in Coral Rose ;)

Blush Lust: MUA Powder Blusher in Shade 4 Review and Swatches!

I know u guys must be bored of all the Pink Blush posts happening on my blog. But I am here to make u aware of the pros and cons of makeup products right ;) So I got to do this :)  Plus I am a believer of  " A gal can have never makeup,clothes,shoes.." well u get d drift!

• MUA blusher in shade 4 has the ditto packaging of the other 1 pound powder blushers.Cute and tiny but fragile. Try not to drop it!!
• The shade 4 is a peachy pink blush with the peach tone being more prominent.
• U can consider it a summery everyday wear blush ;)

• It consists of extremely subtle shimmers which are hardly visible but lend a slight highlighting effect.
• The texture is powdery but the fallout is lesser compared to the shade 5.
• The finish is satin due to the presence of the shimmers.

• Pigmentation wise it is less pigmented than shade 5. I would give it 2 out of 5 ;) 
• Priced at 1 pound/85 bucks a piece these stand for a good deal.
• Personally I feel this would fair,medium and dusky skin due to the prominence of peach :) 
• Lasting power was between 3-4 hours.

VERDICT:

For 1 pound these blushers are worth a place in ur vanity! And the pigmentation level is just right for beginners to work with :)   I recommend u own atleast 1 of these! I wanted d shade 2 (which is a pink :P ) but it was unavailable during ordering. Will try getting my hands on it ;)
