After quite a few makeup products reviews, I am back
today in my comfort zone: Skincare. As a new mommy, I am hardly getting any
time for even normal CTM routine (Cleansing Toning Moisturizing). My skin
looked lackluster within a month of my delivery and I realized that I need to
atleast do something about now that the humidity in Assam is at its peak. Most
of us opt for Aloe Vera gels in summers.
However, they do little for my dry skin. That’s when my close friend
Tapaswini suggested that I try bamboo gel from The Face Shop which is a South
Korea based skincare brand. I trust her blindly when it comes to product
reviews and promptly placed order for it from Nykaa.

Colourpop Arriba Ultra Matte Lip color Review Swatches |
So I had bought my first Colourpop goodies more than a month back but new mommy duties didn’t allow me to try them properly. I had bought Ultra Matte liquid lip colors Top8 and Arriba. Since Top8 seemed to be a dusty pink shade, I had tried that on my lips first. It felt drying and the shade seemed to wash out my skintone. Heavily disappointed, I did not pick up Arriba until today since I guessed it would have the same formula as Top8 and I would be disappointed once more. But I was wrong! Read on to find out more

Focallure Loose Powder 02 Review, Swatches |
FOCALLURE says, “Our micro powder can give your skin a soft, airbrushed quality. It is entirely translucent, allowing for a natural look. It keeps your skin clear of oil all day long”. I had picked this loose powder with the Focallure Skin Evolution foundation (Read Review HERE). Till date, I had always used normal compact powders for setting makeup and loose or translucent powders are new to me. Before this, I had once bought the Sivanna Colors loose powder which is a dupe of Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose powder (Review HERE) But somehow the inconvenient packaging never made me reach out for the powder while doing full face makeup. Let’s see how this one fares!

Focallure Brows Cream 02 Chocolate Review Swatches Before/After |
I have used many eyebrow products ranging from eyebrow pencils, eye brow powders, or eyebrow crayons but something I never ventured into was eyebrow Pomade. Eyebrow pomades gained popularity more due to those perfect “Instagram brows” that we see on social media these days. Unlike eyebrow pencils or powders which are forgiving on mistakes, eyebrow pomades leave no room for mistake and can give a very stark or strong brow look. I am personally in favor of natural looking groomed brows and that’s why, even though Instagram brows intrigued me, I could never bring myself to buy a pomade. But when I saw the affordable brand FOCALLURE come up with a eyebrow pomade “Brows Cream”, I picked one shade up.

Glitter Galaxy Fusion Eyeshadow palette: Review/Swatches |
I am completely ignoring my blog these days because I am enjoying new motherhood. Each second of my schedule is now occupied with feeds, diaper change and lullabies :D However, Elegant Eves is my first baby after all and whenever I am getting some time, I am trying to keep it updated with new finds and reviews. Today’s quick review is of a eyeshadow palette marketed by an Indian brand called “Glitter Galaxy” who sell their products on Instagram. My close friend Tapaswini had bought this palette a few days back, but since she is fond of collecting eye shadow palettes she realized that she has similar shades in other palettes of hers. So this beauty ended up in my kitty :P Read on to find out more.

ESQIDO False Eyelashes #Little Black Lash and Companion Lash Glue |
Do you remember my mixed experience with Miss Claire Eyelash glue? (Read HERE) Since then, I have not purchased any other lash glue or false eyelashes because of obvious reasons (heaviness of lashes and non-durability of the glue). But recently, I was contacted by the PR team of ESQIDO false lashes which specializes in luxury mink strip eyelashes and synthetic false lashes as well. Their lashes have been seen on Victoria Secret Angels like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Gigi Hadid, and A-list celebs like Rihanna. Naturally, I was happy to get the opportunity to review their lashes and the service of the ecommerce site. Read on to know all details about this lash brand.
