Not just another nail polish ~ Maybelline Color Show in 503 Denim Dash


This post just goes to show that a little bit of research goes a long way. Ok, “research” is an exaggeration, a little bit of “googling” goes a long way. When Maybelline Color Show Nail Enamel launched in India, I was one of the many, many ladies who said “halleluiah!” Unfortunately, I wasn’t in Mumbai then, and I wanted to get my hands on them, who wouldn’t want to? They cost just Rs. 75. I was really surprised and elated to see the nail polishes on online websites so soon, it was like…destiny.

But it was hard choosing among the colors, especially since I had never seen them in the store, and I wanted to try different colors, ones I’ve never tried before. Also I purchased these two months back, so back then, they weren’t there on the Indian beauty blogosphere either.

 I started googling the names from the Maybelline India website, and I did find a helpful  blog, whose name I completely forgot, in which the writer had reviewed a MNY Color Show from the denim range which had released last year in US. I guess google hit that post because I typed Maybelline Color Show Denim Dash, and the US name was similar. I really regret the fact that I hadn’t bookmarked the blog, the writer described the shade so beautifully, so accurately, I was sold.

I ordered Denim Dash and one more color, because I loved the look of the denim range Color Show enamels and I hoped this would be similar. Well, it is!


Rave!! Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfector - Review, Swatches, Photos

I’m completely in love with the Garnier BB cream. I know its nothing new, its been here for a while etc. but I got to know it this year. I've been wearing it for a couple of months now, though not everyday because I don’t get the time to “make up” every morning, yes, seriously , I don’t.  In these few months, the weather went from rainy, to sunny, to humid, to bitter cold, and back to sunny. Its basically just vacillating between summer and winter, and oh, it rained yesterday! So I guess the concept of “seasons” has just gone to hell now, you just can’t predict the weather anymore. Anyways, my intention isn’t to complain, I’m just saying I’ve tested this BB cream under all weather conditions :-D



Cost- Rs.199.
Qty- 40g
Shelf life-  36 months.
Also available in a 18g variant.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder (009 Amber) -Review, Photos

Do you really need a mattifying powder in the fall? Well I need it all year. Maybe the sun, after summer, rests for the rest of the year, but my skin doesn’t! Although nowadays, it doesn’t get oily that much, thanks to the cooler weather. 

I’ve tested the Rimmel Stay Matte powder for two months under different weather conditions and different cities, and though I’ve not worn it every day, I can give you a fairly good idea if this will be worth purchasing or not.



Price: Rs.230.
Qty: 14gm
