Hello lovely people!
This is another foundation review. This time it is the Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Crème. I’ve heard many good things about this foundation and wanted to try it for myself. I’m so glad that Sephora India sells Becca Cosmetics. I’m a huge fan of this brand and the way they present their products. Anyways, onto the review.


The foundation comes in this cute bottle which is basically its not a glass bottle, which means easy travelling. Although, recently they changed their packaging to a see trough glass bottle. It comes with a pump, this is the biggest requirement for a foundation bottle, or at least for me. It just makes everything less messy.


I bought it in the shade Olive, which looked well when I tried it on at the store however it is slightly lighter than my skin tone but bronzing my face would just solve that problem. So if you’re NC42 in MAC you can just go a shade or two darker.


So the company says that this is a full coverage, water resistant foundation which will last 24 hours. It is a water based foundation with a natural finish. The last two words really caught my eyes and made me buy the foundation. Sometimes my skin is dry like the Sahara desert and sometimes it’s so oily that it gets mistaken it for the Middle East. So a dewy or a matte foundation wouldn’t be ideal for such days, and for that reason a natural finish foundation seems to be the perfect fit.

Here's how the foundation looks without applying any other makeup.
I did a small wear test because I was just too excited to try this foundation out. I found out that this is more of a medium to full coverage foundation as it did not completely cover all of my dark spots from acne. I had to build up the foundation in those areas to cover it up. But oh my god this foundation feels like you’re not wearing any makeup. It’s so lightweight that even if you put an extra layer it won’t settle in your crease. So you can even use this as an everyday foundation. It’s just so lightweight, I love such foundations as you can wear them with any kind of look.

Here's full beat face.
This foundation definitely smells like MAC foundations which I think is a common scent for many other foundations too. I had applied it using my real techniques complexion sponge and it works well with it.

The lighting did save my ass and helped me get away with the lighter shade that I chose. Also excuse my selfie taking skills, i suck at it.
I really did like this foundation except for the part where it’s not my exact shade. In India you can buy it from any Sephora store or from their online store too. Also did I mention that Becca cosmetics is a cruelty free brand? Well now you know it.

I hope this review was helpful. Stay tuned for more such reviews. Thank you!

Hello guys!
I’ve not made any post about me reviewing products in a while. I love such posts as they really help you know whether you should buy a particular product or not. So here’s my opinion on the Huda beauty faux filter foundation.

In March Nykaa added this foundation to their site. I’ve wanted this foundation since the time Huda announced that she’s working on a foundation.

This foundation caters to 30 different skin shades although they just sell 28 of them on nykaa. To find my perfect match I did some research online. The best part was that Huda’s team has provided a shade comparison guide on her website (click here for the comparison guide) which made it all the more easier for me to find my shade.
I’m an NC42 in MAC so my perfect shade was anywhere between Macchiato 400G, Brown Sugar 410G and Toffee 420G. I decided to go with the darkest shade i.e. Toffee 420G (G stands for gold as in gold undertone) because I didn’t mind going a little dark as I can lighten the shade using a lighter foundation. I also found that it has a slight red undertone.

The foundation is packed in a frosted glass looking plastic bottle which is of a real good quality. Also I’m glad that they used plastic instead of glass as it’ll be lightweight and won’t break unlike glass packaging, making it travel friendly.

So this is supposed to be a full coverage, filter looking, matte finish foundation. And it does claim to do what it says. It is very high coverage and I just need one pump to cover my whole face.  The thing that I loved about it was the fact that it even helped me cover up my pores. Some foundations accentuate my pores making my foundation look cakey but this is nothing like those foundations. Also the surprising thing was that it didn’t feel heavy which I loved the most. I don’t like the feeling of some foundations as it feels like you’re wearing a mask which you just want to take off.

The only downgrade about this foundation is that it has a very strong smell which you’ll hear everyone point out. Some people breakout because of scented products but for me personally I cannot take any strong smells as they immediately trigger the worst kind of headache for me. This foundation has a pretty strong smell, it smells just like the “Blue lady” perfume and I only know this because a friend of mine uses this perfume.The scent itself is quite good but it's just too intense.

I hope you found this review helpful. Thank you!

First of all I promise that this is not a review blog. I am not able to plan and post variety of stuff because of  my schedule and a lack of confidence. Besides reviews are a lot easier to post as they don't require much brainstorming or even photoshop :P Anyways moving on to the review.


Can I just say how visually pleasing this highlighter looks? This is the most beautiful piece of make up that I own or will ever own. It feels like I have found a rare gem.

P.S. Sorry for the poorly done swatch I was tired.

The highlighter is given the shape of Chanel's iconic symbol - the camellia flower. This is a limited edition highlighter that is packed in a red Les Beige case. It has a velvety texture, and the extremely fine powder gives a natural glow as the powder itself is neither too warm or silvery also making it suitable for all skin tones.


The highlighter stays on for long period. It does not feel heavy or give an unnatural glow even when you apply more. This highlighter is meant for a natural everyday glow. Since the highlighter has a slight creamy texture to it, it doesn't apply well with a brush. However it looks just as good when applied using the fingers. More over this is a trait of a French brand. They believe in natural looks and the mantra "Less is more".

Overall I'm really happy with my purchase and would recommend it only if you're willing to spend over five thousand bucks for a product.

I bought this highlighter at the Chanel store in Palladium Mall, Lower Parel.

I had been hunting for a rose gold eyeshadow for the longest time. Finding this one was a jackpot since I got 12 different shades instead of one. This was my time to shine and make endless looks with this one eyeshadow palette.

The best thing about this palette is the price. In India you can get it off from nykaa.com for Rs.899. I don’t know about the Maybelline counters though. I’ve never seen it there like many other products.

Starting off with the way it looks. Can we just take a moment of silence for the colour of this palette? It’s pink and it is so freaking beautiful. The colour of this palette itself swept me off my feet. Moving on to the size, it’s the perfect size. Not too big, not too small, just perfect enough that you can even fit it inside your bag.


The palette comes with 12 unique shades to give everything from a go to everyday look to a smoky eye look. It also comes with an applicator which I find very un-useful but I keep just it in case. Always keep the applicators, never throw them. You never know when you might need one.

About the product the top four shades are sheer and you might need to apply a few coats to actually show the colour. However you mainly need them for applying as a base so it does not make much of a difference. You can in fact use the middle four shades as a highlighter too.


The lower few shades help intensify your look. They’re more pigmented than the top shades hence you can use them to contour the crease. The fourth shade from the bottom line is the only matte shade in the whole palette thus if you’re looking for matte colours this palette is not for you.


Also I’ve read many reviews and comments about people pointing out that the shades in this palette are not meant for darker skin tone. It is not at all true. It depends upon the look you’re going for and in what part of the eye your shade is going. Specific shades for specific skin colour is a total myth, you have to be creative and know how and where to use the shade.

Beginners, if you’re looking for a good but affordable palette, this one’s for you. You can create endless looks with this palette for all kinds of occasions. The back of the palette provides a guide to different looks that you can create with this palette. The only thing I did not like about this palette is that the shades are not named and so it becomes difficult for me to to keep track of which the shade that I'm using. You feel me? I hope you do cause it’ll be extremely embarrassing otherwise.

Anyways I hope this review was helpful. You can buy the palette from nykaa.com for Rs. 899.

Truth be told, I'm the biggest mascara fan. I cannot not wear mascara. It is my most favourite make up product. When it is CHANEL that's when my heart starts melting. I have fallen head over heels for Le Volume De CHANEL Mascara. This is the most amazing product, a bit overpriced but I'm willing to make a sacrifice for this wonder product.
The product has the perfect consistancy and applies without making your lashes look deformed. It is not too heavy and also doesn't damage your lashes while removing the product. I wore it the whole day and my lashes were intact looking as if I freshly applied it. Also i didn't feel any burden to get rid of it because it was just so light.

About the wand. Its highly well designed. The holder is not too fancy and i think that's what makes it comfortable while holding and applying it. The best part is that its flexible at the tip which I like the most about this mascara. It helps remove off the excess mascara easily leaving you with just the right amount of product. There are mascaras which don't have a flexible wand and you end up with extra product and it's just too much for your lashes. Making them look clumpy or it ends up elsewhere too. The bristles are the right size and fall at a perfect distance hence depositing not too much or not too little product along with giving the perfect desired volume to your lashes.

To be honest i could not find a single disappointing factor about this mascara. In all a 10/10 for Le Volume De CHANEL Mascara. I'm in love <3

Pro tip: in case you get your mascara elsewhere on your lid. First of all don't panic. Everything happens for a reason. It doesnt mean you don't know how to apply a mascara. Just wait until the product dries of completely which doesn/t take more than a minute. Later gently with a q-tip or a tissue wipe it off. All you need is a minute and patience.
