For the Love of Kohl and beautiful eyes :)

Hello beautiful people :)
Today I proudly present my kohl collection. For me No-kohl is like No-make up. I have a slight addiction of buying kohl pencils when ever I see them or when I come to know about a new one. I tried 'n' number of things before finalizing my favorites. I just want to make things easy for the beginners so that they need not try all the things in stores and take the best review before selecting.




Every girl's make up in India is incomplete without kohl even after applying everything else. When it comes to beautiful eyes there has to be kohl some where. We have been describing women's beauty with her eyes and also the kohl. here it is, My kohl collection. Secret behind those eyes.






After using all the above products i have my favourite. 
Pencil eyeliner:
I absolutely love revlon colorstay one stroke defining eye liner. It is jet black in colour and is very easy to apply. It is smudge proof and long lasting. 
Price: 560/- (buy online Here)
liquid eyeliner :
I like maybelline hyperglossy liquid eyeliner. It is black and has a glossy shine to it. Perfect to use at night!
price: 225/-(buy online here)



Love,

Imprint-Me

Hello every one! You already know I attended Miss Andhra Pradesh contest to support two beautiful ladies Yantisha and  Avantisha, I thought I must tell you what I wore and how did I managed to look like this. I wanted to give you a detailed list of products I used for my make up too. People who like it please let me know so that I can do this more often.


                         Classic Black top : Gift from Akhila (never asked)
                         Cardigan : Papaya clothing (don't remember)
                         Bag : Baggit ( 2000/-)
                         Shoes : Bata (500/-)

I was not having enough time to get ready since we decided it very late to attend the event. The event was held at Mansarover hotel in Chiran fort. It was a Night event so the first thing I got in to my mind was the smokey eye.

 Complete Products:



1. Garnier BB cream  
2. Elf Cream eyeshadow duo in black licorica
3. Nyx Bronzer in magnetic
4. Maybelline vollume express water proof mascara
5. LAkme eyeconic kohl pencil
6. Inglot illuminator in number 83
7. Inglot eyeshadow in number 61
8. Loreal glam shine in sheer peach.

Face products:



 I never had a liking for foundation. I always wanted to escape it and this BB cream is seriously a miracle. It feels light and the coverage is fine for my skin.  Since the attraction is the smokey eye I wanted no other colour on my face. I absolutely forgot to conceal so I wanted the light to reflect from my face and give it a nice glow. I went for lots of illuminator on the highest points of my face like my cheek bone, brow bone, cupid's bow and the bridge of my nose.
I wanted to give my cheeks some dimension so i chose a very little NYX matte bronzer to give my cheeks a metallic glow.

Eye Products:

 

I had no time to dig in my make up bag for primer, so I used a black cream eyeshadow from the elf duo as a primer and a base colour for my eye shadow. I dabbed in some Inglot black eyeshadow on the cream eye shadow. I absolutely love this inglot eyeshadow, It has light shimmer in it which makes it look beautiful on almost everyone. I blended the harsh edges in the crease area after applying this eye shadow to give it a neat finish. I then tightlined and applied lakme eyeconic on the water line. I finished my eyes with lots of maybelline mascara and a hint of illuminator in the inner corners of the eye.

Lip Products:



I prefer matte lips any day wen compared with glossy lips. But wen you go out at night you would want to have a hint of gloss on your lips. My lips are pigmented so a little gloss makes them look like they have a brown lipstick on. I chose a peachy gloss to lighten my lips a little and give them a nude colour. I dint want any colour on the face since i wanted the focus to be on my eyes.

LITTLE HAUL

Hello World,
Two days ago i went out with my sister for some shopping and stuff. Basically we were extremely bored at home. Since my mom almost fractured her hand I was doing work at home. We had a chance to get out and eat something . After a wonderful pizza we both ended up in health and glow shopping. These are the products I ended up with



1. GARNIER BB CREAM :
I am not a big fan of foundation though I am a make up artist. I personally don't use foundation every day. A tinted moisturizer helps me even my skin tone. BB(blemish balm) creams are new in India. I liked the Maybelline one in 'radiance'. I wanted to try the new BB Cream from Garnier, so i bought it.

 2.SUNSCREEN:
If there is one thing I cannot survive through summer is my sunscreen. I tried N number of sunscreen's including the medicated one but I found every thing leaves my skin greasy and dirty. I tried lotus 3 in 1 matte sunscreen and it is amazing for oily skin. It definitely gives you a matte finish as promised and is also tinted. I bought the spray bottle for body and tube for face. This is my favorite sunscreen so far.

 3. LAKME EYECONIC:
Lakme launched this kohl pencil just after Maybelline colossal kajal became a star. I had colossal kajal but still people raved about eyeconic because of its pigmentation. I love kohl pencils. No kohl is almost like being naked and just kohl is make up for me. I just went ahead and purchased this because the packaging makes you want this.

4. MAYBELLINE CONCEALER:

This particular concealer promises to be a highlighter as well as concealer. Concealer is a Photoshop in real life. It almost hides everything. I don't use concealer either in my daily routine, I wanted to try this one on clients who don't require much coverage.


5. LAKME SKIN NATURAL MOUSSE:
People love this foundation. I heard many Youtubers and bloggers raving about this product. I haven't used this yet but Again I am not planning to use this on daily basis. This one matches my sisters skin tone. I bought it basically to test it and use it personally. 

This was all about my mini haul. Will see you soon in other posts. 

LOVE,
MOUNIKA ROCHES.
