Blast from the past – Smokey Eyes

As am taking little break from eye looks and as it is its getting so bored these days… why?? Wonder why?? So thought of sharing some of my old eye looks here and please I love to hear from you so don’t hesitate to comment and make me feel good ….

Yellow smokey eyes

For me this is my best foot forward… pairing yellow with black and still wonder how I did this. There aren’t many colors in this look just the basic but the shade itself was deadly and I am so happy I tried this. Click on pics to see the look

Benefit’s Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/liner – A review

This one is for you SHILPA … as you were asking for the BENEFIT …

You all know how much i love eye makeup and i am all eyes for good and durable reliable stuff around … as i love my base to be good , to share with you my first e/s base was MARY KAY eye primer which i still have and like to use sometimes .. i mean on and off , but then i purchased my MAC paint pots and completely love them i had a post on them , if you are interested??

i have heared a lot about benefit’s CCE and i was looking for them for quite a while … and once i was at SEPHORA and there was a pack of 2 in a small black pouch and i asked SA how much are they for , she said $ 10 and i jumped with joy and immediately picked up:) although the colors i have are not available now , i think they are discontinued , that’s why when i bought they came in a small 2 pack set for $10 otherwise they are for $ 19….

MAC's PAINT POTS - the ultimate must have

Are you building up your eyeshadow collection ? and are you facing the problem of your eyeshadows not showing the true colors despite being higher end brands ? pls dont curse your eyeshadow darlings it is the base which is actual culprit… so looking for solution darlings …

and here comes MAC’s PIANT POTS for your rescue …..

when i was building my MAC’s brigade i wasnt able to decide whether should i buy a paint pot a small glass thing
what would it do or what major concern its going to solve … then once i was at MAC and i was allowed to purchase 2 items (that is how i everytime go to MAC decide from home ACTUALLY)
i bought one mineralize eyeshadow and then i was thinkng what to buy what to buy ?? this MUA used painterely as base and i asked her tell me is it necessary ??? she said if u want it in long run go for this if you are satisfied with the look of colors u r getting without it dont buy …SHE WAS HONEST… i said no actually now i am looking my best pls pack one for me , so ended up buying my FIRST PAINT POT …

painterely paint pot by MAC

but then came the real story i googled and saw some good reviews for other paint pots too so again i went to other MAC and tried INDIANWOOD and it was so gorgeous i ended up buying that as well ( i had to yaar coz i am indian and being that time in USA i was little bit patriotic)
INDIANWOOD is a beutiful bronze mettalic color ,
few tricks i do with it -
apply all over the lid and cranberry e/s in crease OR
apply all over the lid and carbon on crease OR
and def i can use it as a base with my woodwinked e/s they compliment each other
and soo many more just have to be creative

indianwood by MAC

i was by far happy with that BUT

i again googled and saw some really good reviews about RUBENSQUE , some were saying if you wanna own only one go for this so i cheated my other two paint pots and bought my 3rd puppy home and now its NO 1 in my list…
it always happens with me ???
its beautiful gold color with hint of peach and so workable with most of the eyeshadows…
i use it with my melon pigment , its damn tempting
apply all over lid and then some expensive pink or bronze e/s to work with
its universal color and most flatering on indian skin tone

RUBENSQUE by MAC - the color .... mwah

MAC’S PAINT POTS comes in nearly 8 shades ,
its ultra creamy and blends smoothly without being cakey at all , gives your eyeshadow a good base
and colors pops up with this being underneath , i seriouslly dont have any bad words for these so definatelly no cons from my side

here are swatches for the ones i have

top - rubensque , middle indianwood and bottom painterely by MAC

PRICE – 1150 /- INR

I RATE IT – atleast buy one i know you would end up buying 2 – 3 like me …
