April Beauty Favorites 2015

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse : Creamy Natural

The foundation is really easy to blend and gives nice hydrating, naturally glowing finish to the skin. Its one of the best foundation for combination to dry skin - does not accentuate dry/flaky bits around the nose areas, lips, etc. It looks amazing both in person and pictures. The coverage is medium but can be build for a high coverage. There are enough shades for Indian complexion.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer : Honey

I have just started using this concealer in conjunction with my L'Oreal Paris true match concealer and I'm loving the overall look. This has been my absolute favorite in the month of April. It does not cover very severe under eye pigmentation but do brightens up the under eye area and acts as an affordable highlighter. Its available in 3 shades.

Oriflame The One Illuskin Blush : Pink Glow
A matte pinkish coralblush with beige highlighter, that would flatter on almost every complexion and would give naturally pink cheeks. The texture is almost soft, silky and the particles are finely milled. They have a satiny finish and does not accentuate dry areas of face.

Inglot Freedom System Rainbow Refill : 107R
I am in absolute love with this tiny pan of color - a versatile product in my aisle. Can be used as - eye shadow, crease color (for blending eye colors), bronzer, brow-filler, liner (if mixed with Inglot Duraline).

Oriflame The One Unlimited Lipstick : Endless Red
Endless Red is a deep rich red shade and one of the most intense shades from the range – it gives about medium coverage to my lips covering up pigmented areas to a great extent. You can layer the lipstick for heavier coverage. Despite being a deep cool red color, it looks very fresh when applied because of the luminous, translucent finish. Its a shade that’ll work for day and well as evening and would show up on fair as well as deep complexions. I have been pairing this with a retro winged liner the past month.

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick : Forever Fuchsia
Forever Fuchsia is a gorgeous vibrant fuchsia pink that would flatter every complexion beautifully. Though this is a bright lipstick, you can tone it down by pressing a tissue on your lips as a lip-stain or use a lip brush. A perfect shade for winters and bride-to-be!

Kama Ayurveda Jasmine and Rose Face Cleanser
A very gentle cleanser - that does not over dries my combination to dry skin. It cleanses my face thoroughly taking off dirt and grime away completely and revealing soft, moist skin. The cleanser is a clear, runny gel that smells heavenly of roses yet very calm and serene! This is a non-foaming cleanser, hence will suit the best for everyone. Not tested on animals. 100% Vegan. Contains no SLS, no parabens and no petrochemicals - hence, my ultimate favorite!

Kama Ayurveda Pure Rosewater
The facial mist scents heavenly of Pure Indian roses and is a delight to use them. The scent is not overpowering and stays for quite little time. The formula is quite light and refreshing, they don’t leave behind any greasy after feel on the skin and get absorbed fully. One just need to spray these after cleansing the face and they prep the skin for moisturizer. They also give a lovely dewiness to the skin. I also like using these to dampen my foundation brush and the skin for better blending of liquid foundation.

Colorbar Peppy Duo Foundation Sponges
These colorful sponges from Colorbar India hold a special place in my April Favroites. Since I had bought them - I have been using them to apply any kind of foundation and even concealers and trust me, my base makeup looks much more even without drinking any extra foundation. Easy to wash off - cleanses well when dipped for a few mins in lukewarm water.

Avene High Protection Sunscreen SPF 50++
I received few samples in My Envy Box and have also ordered a full-size one from the recent Nykaa sale. One of the Elle Awards winner - this sunscreen is very suitable for combination skin and blends easily in your skin and with a Sun Protection Factor of 50++ you don't have to worry further.
