Sometimes I use it as a base to my BB cream bec...

Since my home town is in Punjab. I often travel to Delhi then take a train from there to Punjab. From airport I have been many times conned by taxi drivers.

E.L.F Makeup Mist and Set Review

Skin type: Combination, acne prone Color: Wheatish fair So, I have recently been expanding my horizons in terms of makeup, and you know, in the makeup world, Setting sprays are a must! They bind your makeup, make it sweat proof and keep it fresh for 7-8 hours and do even more. But, a wrong spray, and all your makeup efforts can be ruined. This is what E.L.F mist does to me. MRP: $4  Qty:  60 ml (2.02 oz) Shelf life: 6 months  Color : Transparent Fragrance : I don't know how to describe it, but it is strong and bad. (Absolutely dislike it) Product description and Ingredients Click on the image for zooming in. My Experience: Maybe I'm not using the right technique to apply it, but then don't all sprays work the same way- hold them at an arm's length, and spritz on your face? First, the smell of this mist literally makes me want to skip using it. I can really do without it than bearing with the obnoxious smell. Still, I tried it few times. E...

Loreal Liner Magique

I have still not found my go to eye liner. If you guys have suggestions, do let me know. Here is review on Loreal Magique liner: Price : 399 INR Shelf life: 2 years. Claims : Smudge proof. Waterproof. Caution : Not for waterline Finish: Demi Matte. (Not exactly matte, slightly dewy) Texture: A little runny Color:  Dark black. Review: I bought this because of the felt tip. I have always found it easy to work with a felt tip than with a brush. But I was wrong. Even felt tip is not enough. The liquid of this liner was runny enough to seep into my lashes, which I really didn't like. The quantity control was a bit of work. Even then, it didn't last for longer than 3-4 hours. If I rubbed my eyes accidentally, it came off easily. I didn't even find it much waterproof. Overall, very disappointed. Final Verdict: It was a waste of money and I am never gonna buy it again.
