Accessorize Baked Bronzer Duo in Shade 3 Laguna : Review and Swatch

hello beauties...
WELCOME !!

I am totally into Highlighters and Bronzers these days. This summer its all about glowy skin with a little hint of colour.And so I have been collecting alot of Bronzers lately. This post is all about a subtle yet glowy bronzer, ACCESSORIZE BAKED BRONZER DUO in LAGUNA





PACKAGING, PRICE and AVAILABILITY


  • This beautiful bronzer duo comes in a sturdy pan with transparent lid with golden butterfly printed on it. Its bulky yet pretty.
  • Its hard to find, but I was lucky to get mine off Jabong.com but its no more available there. Anyhow you can buy it from Accessorize website here for £1.80
SWATCH TIME




Accessorize Baked Bronzer Duo in Laguna comes with two shades, one a BRONZE shade and the other a CHAMPAGNE shade. You have the option to use the shades individually as a BRONZER or a HIGHLIGHTER but I mix the shades together for a lovely SUMMER GLOW on my cheeks.


VERDICT

  • Perfect summer bronzey glow for Indian/ Medium Skin tone
  • If you are a beginner and want to try a Bronzer, go for it cause it gives a nice flush to your cheeks without being overly bronzed
  • Fairly pigmented. Can't say great cause it gives a sheer bronzey finish not a dark bronzer.
  • Easily blendable
  • Lovely glow to the face without being shimmery
  • Cute packaging
  • Affordable too
  • Only con is its availability
I recommend this bronzer for anyone who wants a natural bronzey glow onto their cheeks.
Do comment below and let me know your favourite bronzer or any other product you love from accessorize.
I will see you guys soon with a new post, till then have your summer glow !!!

Wet 'n' Wild Mega Last Matte Lipstick in SPOTLIGHT RED Swatch

hey beauties....
When I go out for makeup shopping, then 99.99% chances are there that I pick a Lipstick. I always say this and I am not ashamed to say it again and aloud "I AM A LIPSTICK ADDICT". Generally when people get confused what shade of lipstick to pick, they usually pick a NUDE shade. But I pick a RED.

RED ADDICT

Today's post is a swatch post for Wet 'n' Wild Mega Last Matte Lipstick in SPOTLIGHT RED


 I already have a detailed review of Wet 'n' Wild Mega Last Lipstick. You can read it here





Its a pretty Cherry Red shade with Blue undertones. Shades like this glamorise your entire look (and makes your teeth look whiter sssshhhhhh). Its smooth to apply and gives Matte finish. It gives the classic old hollywood charm to your look. 
It's a HIT for me. RED and that too a MATTE RED !!! Need I say more *wink*
Do comment below and let me know which is your PERFECT RED !!!
Also do let me know your favourite shade from Wet 'n' Wild Mega last range.
I will see you guys soon, on a new day with a fresh new post. Till then keep smiling and wear red !!!

    Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick in Ruby Riddle Review

    Hey beauties...Today's post is on this pretty shade of lip color which is super affordable and of great quality. It's the Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick in Ruby Riddle.


      PACKAGING, PRICE and AVAILABILITY





    • It comes in a sleek click lock case. The only nah for the packaging is that the lipstick doesn't go all the way in and peeps out. If you are not careful, you may nick the lipstick when you replace the cap.
    • It retails for Rs 180 i.e. about Rm 10. Isn't that a steal!!
    • It's available at almost all beauty stores in India. I got mine from Jabong.com
    SWATCH TIME


    Its a lovely Peachy-Brown shade. The perfect nude for me. Cause the original nudes kind of wash me off.
    MY VERDICT
    • This shade suits almost all skin tone
    • Perfect nude for Indian skin tones
    • Creamy texture
    • Smooth application
    • Gives a semi matte finish on my lips
    • Not drying. However I advise you to always wear a lip balm before applying any lip color
    • Great pigmentation
    • Stay on power is upto 3-4 hours which is pretty decent for the price you are paying
    • Affordable
    • Only down side for me is the packaging. I am surely going to nick the lipstick one day
    It's a pretty every day shade for me. I can totally rock it with a bold eye makeup look. For my skin tone these type of shades are a perfect MLBB shades.
    I own two more shades from this range which I am going to review soon. Till then stay gorgeous, cause you totally worth it !!

    Wet 'n' Wild Mega glo Illuminating Powder in CATWALK PINK Review

    Hey beauties...Welcome to a Raving Monday post. It was a long festive weekend here in Kuala Lumpur because it was the CHINESE NEW YEAR (Gong Ci Fa Cai to all my Chinese friends).

    I have an amazingly exciting news for Makeup addicts in Malaysia. Wet 'n' Wild is finally here in Malaysia. AAAaaaaa I am screaming too :)

    While passing by the Sasa store my eyes almost poped out (literally). I saw an asile full of Wet n Wild cosmetics. Woo Hoo !!! While I was on a month trip to India, Malaysia had welcomed Wet n Wild cosmetics. What an awesome surprise for me. I was always gravitated towards this brand by seeing beauty gurus rave about it on youtube.
    When I step into the store most of the products were out of stock as expected. But to my luck they had a single piece of Wet 'n' Wild Mega glo Illuminating Powder in CATWALK PINK which I was eyeing from over 2months now. 


      PRICE, PACKAGING AND AVAILABILITY


    • It retails for RM 25.90 which is cheaper than Revlon and many other drugstore brands.
    • It comes in a metal pan container with a screw on see through lid. It's compact and sturdy.
    • It's available at all Sasa stores here in Malaysia. It's available at Luxola here
    SWATCH TIME

     The Illuminating Powder in CATWALK PINK is a combination of 4shades i.e. a shimmery champagne shade, a shimmery pale Pink shade, a matte dusty rose shade and a shimmery Bronze shade.

    MY VERDICT

    • The Illuminating powder comes in four shades and these shades together gives an amazing rosy glow onto your cheeks.
    • Shimmers are neither chunky nor glittery. These gives a natural glow and sheen to the skin.
    • Smooth texture
    • Blendable 
    • No mess on the pan or no fall outs. I hate powder products which are messy
    • Affordable
    • Though it's always out of stock, still can try and find online. Trust me girls the hunt is totally worth it. 
    It's a must have for me now. It goes hand in hand with my theBalm luminizer in Mary-Lou manizer, which is my all time favourite illuminator. See review here
    The wet n wild illuminator suits all skin tones and gives a gorgeous glow.
    If you love bronzers and love that natural glow on to your skin with a product which is of great quality and affordable then Wet 'n' Wild Mega glo Illuminating Powder is just perfect for you.
    Do comment below and let me know your views and which are your must haves from Wet 'n' Wild.
    See you in my next post, till then stay happy cause you totally worth it !!
