Mid-week Manicure – Colorbar Exclusive Nail Enamel in Dusky Mauve

There are a few things which can take your breath away! I had the same feeling when a saw a colleague wearing this beautiful nailpolish. I’m someone who will not hesitate to ask even strangers about the shade or brand or where they bought their beautiful thing from; it could be cloths, accessories, makeup, shoes etc. So, I asked her and she introduced me to this beautiful nailpolish from Colorbar called ‘Dusky Mauve’.

Monday Manicure – Strawberries n Cream – 43 by Nykaa.com

I received this nail polish in the March Fab bag. I instantly fell in love with this tiny bottle. The bottle that came in Fab Bag is a sample and that’s why it’s small.

Nykaa.com launched the range of nail polishes which range from nudes to pinks to greens and also a top coat.

Priced INR 149

Strawberries n Cream is a nice pink nail polish. It’s a very nice summery shade.

The texture is really gel like and the applicator makes the application really easy and hassle free. I applied 2 coats for a perfect color.

Nykaa says:

The Nykaa Pop Nail Enamel Collection is a superior nail lacquer with light reflecting pigments that deliver intense, long lasting color. Perfect for times when you DO want super shiny nails that last longer than regular polishes. The exclusive high-reflection nail polish formula guarantees one stroke, high gloss, gel-like perfection. Contains a UV filter to prevent discoloration and yellowing. The Nykaa Pop Nail Enamel Collection is FIVE FREE. The nail polish formulas are not only made without the three most common chemicals found in nail polishes (Toluene, DBP and Formaldehyde), but also without two other very dangerous chemicals (Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor).

MAC Huggable Lipcolour in Out for Passion review

MAC recently launched the Huggable Lipcolor range. I was on a vacation when this collection was launched and so did not have much choice to pick up shades, but fortunately, I found a beautiful shade which was still not sold out. This collection was released in India on the 12^th February.

MAC Says –

A new high-shine formula featuring an array of creamy emollients, providing a lasting, glossy finish that leaves lips smooth and sculpted. A unique gel base allows each shade to smooth effortlessly onto the skin, with a feather-light finish giving immediate moisture, lasting up to six hours.

There were 12 shades that were released as a part of this collection –

Commotion: Deep cool plum cream

Red Necessity: Deep warm wine cream

What A Feeling!: Mid-tone cool pink cream

Feeling Amourous?: Mid-tone fuchsia cream

Love Beam: Mid-tone warm pink cream

Out For Passion: Soft warm rose cream

Touche: Light beige cream

Fresh & Frisky: Soft neutral peach cream

Cherry Glaze: Orange red cream

Fashion Force: Cool coral cream

Rich Maroon: Mid-tone chestnut cream

Price – Rs. 1800

I bought the shade ‘Out For Passion’, which is a nice muted rose shade. It’s a very every day, hassle free color. Something that you can wear with any look and any occasion. The pigment is sheer and doesn’t build up a lot. The good thing is that it wear-off really well. It leaves a slight stain behind which looks really natural.

The formula is very similar to Revlon Lip butters, but a little better. It is really easy to apply and doesn’t feel sticky. It’s really moisturizing. I really like this for an everyday wear, especially for work, when I’m sitting in air conditioning the entire day and my skin and lips start to feel dry and dehydrated.

MAC claims this formula lasts for “up to 6 hours.” I felt that it did not last for more than 3-4 hrs without eating. I have to reapply every time I eat or drink something.

The packaging is really chic! It comes in a steel grey metal tube.

Overall, I know that I will get a lot of use out of this bullet and if it is relaunched I will pick up as many colors as I can J. I would give it a 4.5/5.
