Triple Eyeliner Look – Photo Tutorial

Triple Eyeliner Look – Photo Tutorial

by Chand

Thanks to all the color cosmetics, I have been able to shed my shyness in using them. I was very conscious and hesitant using colors on my eyes. Though I hardly used, I loved owning eye shadows. Now, I am using all the colored pencils on my eyes, even the few shadows I own are also out to use.

This is the look I used to wear before I started using eye shadows. Using many types of eyeliner feels a little strange, but yet it gives the most wanted colorful look covering the shades you want to wear. This adds some colorful fun too.

Even now, till date when I am in hurry, I put on this type of look with just two eyeliners. It gives the touch of color and also the most wanted black border to the eyes.

Now on to the Triple-eyeliner-look. I am not speaking much about concealing, preparing, moisturizing and what not. I am not even boasting of being an expert in eye make up. Just the simple look that might help beginners like me.

Steps to Make Tripe Eyeliner Look:

Cleanse and prime your eyelids.

Draw a rather thick line using the pencil liner. I have used NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil Copper.
Using a liquid liner, draw another arc over the pencil line, a little thinner than the pencil line. I have used Street Wear Perfect Definition Eyeliner Blue.
After this blue liquid line dries off completely, draw another thin line using black colored liquid eyeliner. I have used Lakme Insta Liner Water Resistant Eyeliner Black.

Use Kajal on the water line if you wish. I have used my all time favorite Faces Kajal.

There you are done with the look. Hope you enjoyed. The swatches of the products used for this triple-eyeliner-look have been included too. 🙂

Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Strawberry & Aloe Vera Exfoliating Face Wash Review

Scrubs always attract me, owing to the fact that scrubs polish the skin. I picked this product with the attraction towards the scrub that is visible through its package tube.

Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Strawberry & Aloe Vera Exfoliating Face Wash Review

Claims:

For skin that looks as great as it feels, try our BERRYSCRUB. The creamy lather cleanses and natural exfoliators polish your skin to reveal dazzling complexion.

Active Herbal Ingredients:

Strawberry Seeds: Exfoliating agent removes dead skin cells. Prevents formation of blackheads and gives instant glow.

Aloe Vera: Excellent moisturising and skin healing properties, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

Lemon Extract: Antioxidant, natural skin cleanser.

Orange Peel Extract: Good antimicrobial and anti- inflammatory properties.

Price and Quantity: Rs.125 for 80g

Usage Directions: Massage over wet skin concentrating on rough spots like nose tip, forehead, etc. Wash off. Follow with Lotus Herbals ALPHAMOIST for best results.

Shelf Life: 3 years.

My Experience:

Packaging: Lotus Herbals Berryscrub comes in a soft press able plastic tube which is partially see-through. The tube has a flip cap with a hole for the product to run out. The details about the product and brand are printed on the top side of the tube body with an attractive shiny finish.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The color of the scrub product is transparent base with brown-orange mixed type of scrubbing particles. The base is like a gel.

The consistency is very thin and runny. You tilt the tube, all the product inside the tube runs from one side to another. Though the base looks like a gel, it is very watery.

The fragrance of the product is somewhere in between mild to strong. The name of the scrub says Strawberry and Aloe vera, forget aloe vera, there is no smell of strawberry too on my smelling senses. There is some amount of sour fruity scent indicating the lemon and orange extracts being present.

How it works: Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash lathers minimum. The scrub granules are of mixed shape and sharpness. There are some which are a little big than needed for face scrubbing and they are sharp too. These scrub the face a little more that needed. The package says All Skin Types; definitely no, the scrub is a little harsh on the dry skin. Also it is not suitable during winter for removing the dead skin flakes. This is a good product for oily skin. My skin felt more dry and stretchy after washing with this product.

But, I have found another way of using this product, as a body scrub. This gives a very good massaging sensation when rubbed on the body. You can skip your usual body wash the day you introduce this Lotus scrub. It scrubs and washes too very well. The much needed scrubbing for heels, elbow, knee joint, and back of the neck is done by Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash.

PROS:

Easy handling tube package with flip cap.
See though tube.
Mixed type of scrub.
Gel based.
Available at good price.
Makes a very good body scrub.
Removes dead cells and leaves the skin soft when used as a body scrub.

CONS:

Not a good face scrub.
There are some harsh scrub particles which are not suitable for face scrubbing.
Suitable for oily skin, not good for dry skin.

Rating: 3/5

Do I Recommend?: Yes. Though not a perfect face scrub, it is a perfect body scrub.

Would I Repurchase ?: Yes. I am on my third tube.

Maybelline Lip Smooth Color & Care Refreshing Tinted Lip Balm in Cranberry Jam

Hi All,

Today we are going to check Chand’s review on one of the most favorite lip balms of girls out there, the Maybelline Tinted Lip Balm. Read below for detailed review on the same.

Maybelline Lip Smooth Color & Care Refreshing Tinted Lip Balm in Cranberry Jam

Claims:

Refreshing Tinted Lip Balm
Revitalizes dry / dull lips
Gives moisturizing shine
Softens and smoothens lips
SPF – 16
Dermatologically tested
Non sticky texture

Price & Quantity: Rs.110 for 4.5g (I bought when it was priced at Rs.99)

Shade: Cranberry Jam

Key Ingredients: Jojoba oil, Safflower seed oil, also contains Vitamin E

Usage Instructions: Apply daily on lips.

My Experience:

Packaging: A circular tube with circular patterns all over the tube is the packaging of Maybelline Lip Smooth Color & Care lip balm. The tube is a twist up one with a plastic pressing cap. The cap shuts with a click.

Colour, Texture & Fragrance: Cranberry Jam is a bright pink shade. However, it is not very bright on the lips. The consistency of the lip balm is very thin and it very light on the lips too. Though it is a lip balm, it does not have that thick waxy texture. Maybelline Lip Smooth Lip Balm forms a thin coat like an oil film. The fragrance is exactly similar to the fruity scent. The smell is very light which stays for sometime and then vanishes off.

Swatch:

How it works: Maybelline Lip Smooth Color & Care is a moderate lip balm. Those who do not need heavy lip treatment can easily use this product. It moisturizes the lips good enough. It makes a perfect daily use product. The lips do not need any lipstick or lip gloss when this product is used. Maybelline Lip Smooth serves both the purpose, gives the color to the lips and also glossy finish.

It stays on for at least 3 hours with some fading. When it fades, it does not leave the lips dry or flaky.

The re applying of this product is also easy. A little twist up from he tube and a gentle swipe on the lips will do the job. There is no fear of color going too dark on the lips. The product is very travel friendly too. No worrying about the cap getting opened or product spilling out or even melting in its tube.

Overall, I adore this product just the way it is.
