Must have blushes for Indian Skin!

Chaliya Chaliya ..Don't look at me like that boy! That song is strangely addictive u know! 

If u r one of the beauty junkies who owns several lipsticks and blushes but still hit Google baba looking for the must have makeup products for Indian skin then give me a high five :D I had wanted to post such a compilation for long but never had the time.

The blushes would suit both fair and dusky skin :)

• Rosy Pink  : Inglot 27 is said to be the dupe of MAC desert rose. It has a satin finish and does not look like a patch of pink on the cheeks. Rather it gives a well rested look. Priced at rs.350/- for refill and 720/- for a pot.

• Neutral Pink : Every girl needs a neutral pink blush that she can blindly reach out in case of confusion ;) NYX Tea Rose is one such beige pink blush that gives a dewy fiinsh. Oily skin may not like the finish. Priced at Rs. 650/- in India.

• Coral : We Indians tend to underestimate the power of corals and stick to browns and pinks. But coral is an excellent choice we need to explore more often. Lakme Day Blushes is a stunning coral peach pink blush with a satin finish and has tiny shimmers that make the skin glow. Absolute must have. I have a backup of this ;) Retails for Rs.550/- and worth the moolah!

• Medium Peach : I have not seen a peach blush that is prettier than Faces Burnt Sienna. Sadly it is discontinued and mine is all broken. It has a hint of orange that makes it warm and wearable.

• Shimmery Peach : U know all the hype around bronzers at International beauty cafes! But IMO bronzers do not suit me. Bronzers look muddy or orangy to me. So I suggest switching to a shimmery peach blush :) MUA no.5 is cheap apart from being a delightful combination of peach and gold! Got it for half pound at 50% off

• Medium Pink: One swipe of the Maybelline Soft plum blush and u would fall in love with blushes ;) That is how it happened with me. If u r not a mousse blush person u can try Bourjois Rose Frisson blush which is the same shade but in baked powder form. Soft plum costed me Rs.200/- but is discontinued now and Rose frisson is priced at Rs.500 I think.

 Apart from these it would be great to own :

• Red : yes! Red blush :P They look pretty too :) Youth red from Kryolan is a good option for a matte red blush at Rs. 350/-

• Brown : brown?? Why the ?? For contouring purposes! U never know when the occasion would demand for a slimmer facade ;) Again priced at Rs.350/- Kryolan Mocha blush comes to the rescue. Or get a matte bronzer!

P.S: If u r wondering y it is always 8 in my compilation posts 8 is my lucky number ;)

Lipstick Love : NYX Round Lipstick Lip Creme in 565 B52 Swatches!

How excited do u get when u find an awesome product in ur makeup stash which u had ignored till now??

I was jumping all over the place :D And that was because I found this particular lipstick so good both the color and the texture :)
I had actually worn it once or twice but as with all NYX lipsticks this one smells like detergent and I kept away from it .

But the other day I took this out and tried it on..it was so creamy and the color is such a pretty Pinkish brown that I could see stars in the daylight :D :P (in a gud way of course)

• I found it is actually a Lipstick Lip Creme on google (decode urself) and is the creamiest lipstick I have ever used.
• It is packed with pigments and a single swipe is enuf to cover any degree of pigmentation.
• It is a pinkish brown shade that is on the brighter side.It is not ur regular n*de shade but will brighten up ur face.

• The color is not overpowering either.
• The finish is glossy and makes the lips look plump.
• It keeps my lips hydrated as long as I wear it.I do not need a lip balm with this :)
• Due to the creamy texture it has the tendency to bleed and lasts 2-3 hrs on me.
• Does not settle into fine lines nor does it stain ur lips.
• This one melts so u need to refrigerate it
• The smell is not pleasing to put it mildly ;).

All in all I would say a must have lipstick owing to its texture and pigmentation.The color is rich and will suit duskier skintones too.I can't thank Rekha enough for including this in her giveaway :D Thank u again :)
I compared this with Lakme Rose Kissed and found them to b almost similar but this one is more intense and has a more brownish undertone.
And I also swatched this with My Mahogany and the colors are very different.My mahogany is kind of peachy browny shade while this one is pinky browny.Check out for urself ;)
