Urban Decay – 24/7 eye pencil

Who likes dark kohl lined eyes? I do!! Don’t we all. I think kohl gives such an awesome definition to your eyes and makes them stand out. So obviously you will need a kohl pencil or a kaajal that does not bleed, does not burn your eyes and most importantly, stays put with minimum touch up! I found my holy grail!! And it is from UD!. Omg!!! This is one of the best pencils out there.

Why do I like it?

- Excellent pigmentation
- Great staying power
- Does not bleed
- Pretty decent price

Why don’t I like it?

- It gets over really fast. You should ideally sharpen your pencil before every use. So that way, one pencil will last you for about 2 months depending upon usage.

Is it worth a buy?

Hell yeah! It certainly is the best one out there and you will not regret it!

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation

MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation
So I have been in search of the perfect foundation for a very long time. I have tried them all! Laura Mercier, Revlon, Smash box, benefit, Bare Minerals, MUFE, and what not!! But given my oily and uber sensitive skin, nothing worked! Everything would oxidize on my face and make me look like a saffron scarf! I recently tried the MAC Studio Sculpt foundation and I like it so far. It is a cream/gel based foundation and comes in a variety of shades to suit your skin. You can find it at any MAC counter or at Nordstrom, SAKS, Macys etc.
Why do I like it?
- Great coverage. You need very little to cover your face. So you can save a ton of product and your money!
- Very easy to blend. This is a feature that I have not seen in any other foundations that I have tried.
- It does not oxidize as much. So for oily skin, it may actually be a good product to use.
- A great variety of shades to choose from.
- Very good staying power. The product once applied, rarely needs any touch up if you use a powder to set it.
Why don’t I like it?
- It can be a little expensive. It almost retails for $30 and I don’t know how many of us would like to spend this sort of money.
- It may not be that moisturizing. So people, who have dry skin, may not like to go with this one and will have to use a moisturizer and primer before putting this on. I hate caking up my face and using so many products at the same time.
- Packaging. I wish it had a pump type of thing. I prefer that to a tube.
Is it worth a buy/try?
Depends on whether you want to. If you have other choices that you like and which you think suit you, go for those first.

Nivea Smooth indulgence hand cream

Nivea Smooth indulgence hand cream - Review
I bought this new hand cream. Being winter, my hands and my cuticles were getting terribly dry and flaky. And with flu scare and all that, it only makes sense to use a hand sanitizer. So of course a hand cream becomes a requirement.
The name of the hand cream is Nivea Smooth Indulgence and it is pure love! I carry it around wherever I go. I have gone through many bottles of hand cream across various brands including the very expensive L’occitane or whatever it is called.
This beats all of the ones that I have tried hands down. The packaging is cute and it is very handy. You can only find at your local Walgreens store.
Why do I like it?
- It is extremely moisturizing and not the greasy kinds.
- After you apply it, your hands and nails really look like they have been given a spa treatment.
- It smells divine.
- It is very affordable.
- It does not have to be reapplied often. By this I mean, it keeps my hands moisturized for quite a while
Why don’t I like it?
- Limited availability. It is available right now only at Walgreens, so I have to go to one to pick it up.
- The packaging may appear annoying to some!
Other than this, I really do not see any other negative point about this. It is definitely worth a try.
