Makeup and Beauty Haul Based on IMBB Recommendations

Makeup and Beauty Haul Based on IMBB Recommendations

I was just wondering how much I would have spent last month on cosmetics and I really wanted to take a count of the products as well. Almost all the products I got were based on IMBB’s recommendation and none of them left me disappointed. Thank you all ladies there who helped me pick up really good stuff and for also saving my skin. For a start I didn’t want to spend much by going for the luxury brands, so here is the list of products I have erased from my shopping list. [The shopping list always exists and only the count changes from time to time ;)]

• Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara
• Maybelline Whitestay UV Base
• Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush – Peach Satin
• Elle 18 Dewlipz lipper –Pomegranate Pie 008
• Elle 18 Eyeliner – Black
• Kama Soap Free Cleanser

I have spent Rs.1010 in total, not bad right: ) I also got this perfume Burberry Sport for women. The small bottle costs Rs.2010. I haven’t included this in the list above, as this was not in my shopping list at all. My hubby made me buy this, as he loved the fragrance. I don’t regret for buying this but for the amount I spent at one go it will take some time for me to digest it.

Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara

Thanks to HD.
She had given a 4/5 for this product and this was on top of my shopping list after I wasted my new Dior mascara by letting it dry. I have read from almost all of you guys there raving about this product, so without a doubt I just blindly got this. I really love this and I am wearing it almost everyday now Thanks a lot HD. This costs Rs.260 and I think it is worth the price. Also I don’t like to invest much on a product, which would dry in 6 months time.

Maybelline Whitestay UV Base

Thanks to Urmi

Urmi’s rating was 3.5/5 for this product. I really love this one as my makeup base. I never had any makeup base with me so far but after getting this it does make a difference in the way I look. It is so light and nice on my skin and doesn’t leave my skin oily and it does give that glow mentioned by Urmi. I love that glow on my face. The SA was really happy when she came to know that I am there to buy more than one product, as the counter was empty from the time I got in.

Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush – Peach Satin

Thanks to Priyanka

I always end up using the blush left out in my old L’Oreal mini make-up kit, so I thought I seriously need a good one. To start with I wanted to go for a cheap one at the same time a good one that would not affect my skin. This costs Rs.150 and they had just 2 shades with them among which I loved this Peach Satin. Priyanka had given 4/5 for this product and I loved it even more for the shimmer in it. Since I don’t use a blush in the daytime this one suits me the best.

Maybelline had an offer saying if I get products worth Rs.1700 they were giving a sunglass. I was not very keen on that as I didn’t want to spend so much for a Maybelline sunglass but my hubby was as he felt it looked good on me. They gave a Maybelline Whitestay UV Compact as a gift. I didn’t want it for 2 reasons. 1. I already had it with me in the shade ‘Nude’ and 2.The one they gave in ‘White’ was pathetic on me. Surprisingly the SA said instead I could take the sunglass!!!!  I turned to see my hubby’s reaction and I could see all his teeth :)  he he.. as if I have won a deal !!!

Elle 18 Dewlipz lipper –Pomegranate Pie 008

Thanks to Neha I was so impressed with these lippers when I saw the price and color shades available. For lip sticks whom else to trust other than our Neha so I decided to get one. Priya got this first and I loved it on her as well.

It really moisturizes my lips and since I am preparing my lips these days for MAC lip stains I think this is the best lipstick. Remember I am a lip-gloss person, I’ll say this is my 2nd lip stick [I don’t use the first one though- it is a Maybelline one. I don’t have any complaints but still didn’t use it as I was stuck with my Body Shop lip-glosses] and I am happy with it.

Elle 18 Eyeliner – Black

Thanks to Neha

I never use liquid eyeliners but have always felt it would highlight my eyes better and brighter. To try one I got this tiny Elle 18 in black. Thanks to Priya again as she got me this from a store near her place [I couldn’t find Elle 18 near my place until last Sunday]. Initially I was not very quick in using eyeliners. I did shake a lot and messed up my eye area. I have to say it didn’t irritate my eyes at all. Now I am comfortable with this tiny one. Thank you Priya and Neha.

Kama Soap Free Cleanser

Thanks to Rati

Priya first suggested this to me. She used this for a while and I could see a patch of tanned skin on her forehead vanish slowly. This was a big problem for her until she used this powder and it just did wonders on her skin. I checked out Rati’s review on this product and decided to buy this one. Though I don’t have skin problems I wanted to use this to get a flawless skin. I gifted the first box to my dad as even he has these dark patches on his face and he says he loves it too. Note: This is Rati’s HG cleanser : )

Thanks to all of you.
