MAC Creme In Your Coffee

MAC Creme In Your Coffee (Cremesheen)

The Mac website describes this as a creamy mid-tone pink brown – the description is quite appropriate. The application is effortless which coupled with the neutral color makes it ideal for daily wear. In my opinion, it will suit almost any complexion. Also, this is the sort of color that can be worn for any […] Read more…

Mac Up The Amp (Amplified Crème)

Mac Up The Amp (Amplified Crème)

The Mac website describes Up The Amp as lavender violet but I would say it is more violet than lavender. The formula is creamy and it just glides onto the lips effortlessly. This lipstick is from “Amplified” range of Mac lipsticks and therefore quite pigmented. The finish is shiny and opaque. This is one of […] Read more…

La Femme Blush-Purple Passion

La Femme Blush-Purple Passion

I first heard about La Femme Blushes while watching a Wayne Goss video on youtube ( Wayne is one of my favorite make up artists…watch his videos on youtube if you haven’t done so already).

MAC Purple Haze Eye Shadow

MAC Purple Haze Eye Shadow

Mac Purple Haze is a Matte eye shadow. It is a cool toned pale purple color. I find this a little tough to work with. The pigmentation is not great and it looks deeper colored in the pot compared to the actual application. It works best if used with a primer. I use the Urban […] Read more…

The Pro Nail Laquer range from Colorbar is supposed to provide long lasting wear with magnified shine. The bottle comes with a flat brush meant for easy and streak free application. Dazzling Mauve is a reasonably bright purple colored nail polish. The application was a bit streaky but manageable. The streaky application could be specific […] Read more…

Essie Under Where is a beautiful pinkish purple shade. I got introduced to this shade while watching youtube videos by nurberxo (she is one of my favorite beauty gurus – watch her youtube videos, you will love them). The Essie website describes it as an orchid nail polish. This shade is both fun and classy. […] Read more…

Per the Clarins website, this is a soft waterproof, eye pencil that draws intense, precise and even lines with rich color. The other end of the eyeliner pencil has a sponge tip which can help blend the liner. Both the eyeliner pencil tip and sponge tip are covered with silver caps. The packaging looks good […] Read more…

  This is a beautiful violet colored gel lipstick. Purple lovers are sure to like this shade. The formula has good pigmentation and is moderately moisturizing. It feels comfortable on the lips. Once it has warmed up, the lipstick glides onto the lips – so on a cool day just let the tip of the […] Read more…
