Born Pretty Store Mickey Mouse Theme Halloween Nail Art Water Decals Review

Born Pretty Store Mickey Mouse Theme Halloween Nail Art Water Decals

Happy Tricks or Treating friends!

I really could not believe there is only 1.5 months left for my wedding. October flies away really fast. I particularly do not celebrate Halloween but no matter what I can express it through my nails. Few months back, I bought this lovely sheet of Halloween theme nail art water decals from Born Pretty Store. Not only they are spooky but are way too cute! I am sure you will agree with me! They are based on Mickey Mouse pattern and no matter how old I get, I will love Mickey Mouse (and of course Minnie Mouse too!). These water decals are priced at $3.05 and are currently on discount at $0.99. You can buy online on Born Pretty Store HERE.

Born Pretty Store Mickey Mouse Theme Halloween Nail Art Water Decals

Born Pretty Store Halloween Nail Art Water Decals comes in a long white cardboard pack that is sealed in a plastic. They are themselves sealed with a thin plastic sheet. They are stuck onto a white flexible sheet that prevents them from getting damaged. They can be securely carried around in a bag or purse. The stickers have different Halloween based designs that look very cute and adorable. Mickey Mouse Theme makes them look more adorable and eye catching.

  

The nail water decals are made of very thin plastic that does not tend to stick to itself upon application. They are super easy to apply and feel extremely light on nails.

Here is the procedure on how to apply water decals on nails:

• Remove the thin plastic sheet from the decals.

• Cut the pattern of decals you love to apply using scissors and place them on a table.

• Take a bowl of water. I use normal water of room temperature.

• Gently place the first decal in water and leave it for 10-20 seconds. 

• Take out the decal from water using a tweezer.

• Put the decal with the face down on the index finger. Using your thumb, lightly slide the sheet and the decal would be separated. If it is not sliding off then put it again in water for few seconds.

• Now place the decal over your nail and slide it to adjust its position. It gives you enough time to place the decals properly on your nails.

• I then gently wipe off the water using a soft towel.

• After doing all nails of one hand, apply a top coat to seal it.

Always make sure to apply top coat because once your nails get in contact with water, the decals would start sliding off. Nail art water decal is one of the easiest ways to do your manicure within few minutes. I find these decals much better than nail art stickers. The pattern looks really cute and girlie on nails. They look prettier in person than in pictures. The water decals last on my nails for a week without wearing off. They can be easily removed using a good nail polish remover. I used black (Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish in Blackout) and orange (Lakme Color Crush Nail Polish #7) nail polishes to give the Halloween effect!

PROS:

• Easy to apply.

• Look spooky yet cute on nails.

• Feel extremely light on my nails.

• Superb longevity.

• Reasonably priced.

• Easily available.

• Easy to remove.

• Born pretty Store provides International Shipping.

CONS:

• None!

Overall Thoughts:

These nail art water decals are the perfect way to celebrate Halloween. Even if you are not able to carry Halloween look you can express it through your nails in a super easy way through nail art water decals. These decals are way too cute and I would be using them when I want something funny on my nails! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Rating: 5/5

What will you be this Halloween if you are celebrating?

Blue Heaven X Factor Foundation Review

Blue Heaven X Factor Foundation

I used to use Blue Heaven and Elle 18 nail paints in my college days. Blue Heaven is a super affordable Indian cosmetic brand that has been in the market for a long time. I had not tried any of their cosmetics earlier but boy after using Blue Heaven X Factor Foundation* I am thinking why I did not tried it! It is definitely one of the best, creamy foundations I have used in a long time! It is priced at 125 INR and you can buy online on their website HERE at a discounted price.

Blue Heaven X Factor Foundation

Description

Pump packaging

Swatch of Blue Heaven X Factor Foundation

Blue Heaven X Factor Foundation comes in a brown cardboard box packaging with all the information written over it. The actual product comes in a clear glass bottle with a pump dispenser. There is a lid on the pump that protects the product from getting dried out. The pump dispenses the right amount of foundation and I was amazed to see the formula! It is soft, smooth and creamy that glides and blends like a dream on the skin. Before applying foundation, make sure you moisturize your skin well. It dries off to a semi matte finish. It covers all redness, blemishes and dark eye circles pretty well. I also use it to conceal my pimples. I simply take a small amount of foundation on the back of my hands and let it dry a bit and then apply it on pimples and acne. It has medium to full coverage yet looks natural on skin. It is suitable for all skin types. It neither dries the skin nor makes it oily. It stays put on my skin for a good 6-7 hours without wearing off. 

The foundation comes in 2 shades- blush and natural. Though there was no shade name mentioned on the packaging but I think I got the shade ‘Natural’. It matches my fair skin tone perfectly! As it contains sunscreen it might give white cast when photographed!

PROS:

• Pump packaging.

• Feels light on skin even in humid weather.

• Soft and creamy formula.

• Dries off into matte finish yet gives a healthy glow to the skin.

• Medium to full coverage.

• Suits for all skin types.

• Does not settle into fine lines or pores.

• Long staying power!

• Reasonably priced.

CONS:

• Limited shades available. There is no shade for people with darker skin tones.

Overall Thoughts:

Overall Blue Heaven X Factor Foundation is a wonderful and affordable foundation that gives medium to full coverage. It feels light on the skin and gives a natural look. It works for all skin types. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Rating: 4.8/5

My Tips:

• You can use it as concealer.

• Best applied with your fingers for natural look.

• Always moisturize your skin for smooth application of foundation.

Faces Canada Nail Polish in Cerulean Review & Swatches

Faces Canada Nail Polish in Cerulean

Blue has been my favorite color since my childhood. After I started blogging, there are many colors that I loved and adored like pink, red, yellow, purple, black, maroon and many more. If you are a long reader of my blog, you would know how much I liked Faces Canada. I have tried lots of products from this brand and it has become one of my favorite brands. I had already reviewed Faces Canada Nail Polish in White O White (Review HERE! I bought it at least 4 times!) and today I am going to review the shade ‘Cerulean’. It is priced at 109 INR and you can buy online HERE.

Faces Canada Nail Polish in Cerulean

Cerulean is a gorgeous teal color with a metallic finish. The packaging is same as that of Faces Canada Nail Polish in White O White. The bristles are soft and apply nail polish easily without going streaky. The formula is perfect. It is neither very thick nor too thin. The pigmentation of the nail polish is not that great. It gives true color in 3 coats and dries pretty quickly so I do not have to wait for a long time to apply top coat. The staying power is pretty good. It stays put on my nails for a good 4-5 days with a top coat on. I do not do household chores so that might also be the reason for long staying power on my nails. Though the shade is a bit on darker side but it does not stain my nails. 

PROS:

• Lots of shades to choose from. 

• Metallic finish! I am a HUGE fan of metallic colors.

• Lasts for 4-5 days without chipping.

• Can be applied without base coat.

• Quick drying.

• Inexpensive.

• Toluene, DBP, camphor and formaldehyde free!

CONS:

• Pigmentation is not that great. You need at least 3 coats to get the color.

Overall Thoughts:

Faces Canada Nail Polish in Cerulean is a gorgeous teal color with metallic finish. Though I did not like its pigmentation but I love how beautiful and unique it looks on my nails. They are inexpensive and I would definitely recommend it to all nail polish lovers!

Rating: 4.5/5

My Tips:

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Apply top coat to make it last long.

Organic Therapie Insta Clear Acne Cream comes in a pink and white cardboard box packaging with all the information printed over it. The actual product comes in an opaque white plastic tub with a screw top lid. The whole packaging comes sealed in a thin wrapper to ensure you are getting a new and unused product. The cream is yellow in color with a mild scent. The scent is a mix of clove and tea tree oil. 

The formula of the cream is very thin but has creamy consistency. I simply apply it lightly on my acne, pimples and acne scars. It gets absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue behind. The scent is mild and fades away as soon as you apply it on affected areas. The cream feels light and does not clog pores. I apply it after cleansing, toning and moisturizing my skin. I then take a small quantity on my finger and tap it lightly over acne. It instantly soothes my acne and pimples. I then apply my makeup and set it with loose powder. I have been using it for more than a month and I can see visible difference to my skin. It has reduced my acne and pimples to a great extent. It fades redness and makes skin look even. Though I have not seen any difference in my acne scars but I have already included Kosmea Rose Hip Oil (Review HERE) in my night skin care regime. It is definitely one of the best oil to get rid of acne scars. A MUST HAVE if you want glowy skin!

The acne cream is non-comedogenic and oil free. It works great on all skin types suffering from acne! It contains tea tree oil and Vitamin C that are great to fight acne and pimples! I have been using it with Organic Therapie Insta Clear Acne Mask and my skin is looking more clean and clear! 

PROS:

• Soft yet creamy formula. 

• Gets absorbed easily.

• Feels light on skin.

• Heals acne with regular usage.

• Reduces redness caused from pimples and acne.

• Non comedogenic.

• Hypoallergenic.

• Reasonably priced.

CONS:

• Does not help much with acne scars!

• Some may not like tub packaging.

Overall Thoughts:

It is a good anti acne cream that reduces acne and pimples with regular usage. I use it as a spot treatment twice a day and I could see a visible difference to my skin. I would definitely recommend it people with acne and pimple prone skin!

Rating: 4.8/5

My Tips:

• If you have oily skin like me, use it as spot treatment.

• You need to use it regularly to see results.

• Use it with Organic Therapie Insta Clear Anti Acne Mask to heal acne fast!

Urban Accessories

Accessories offer the perfect finish to any ensemble: we all have collections of rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and bags that help to give our outfits a lift, a modern twist or a little extra polish. Now, designers are increasingly producing branded accessories that slot into our active and connected urban lives, significantly including the technology we use. A range of fashionable accessories are available to us, signifying designers’ desire to diversify, adapt with the times and ensure that the accessories that we all rely on are stamped with their own unique seal. We’ve drawn up a selection of some of the best-selling and popular accessories that have gone down a storm in the fashion world.

iPhone cases 

Many people who work in the world of fashion, for example designers, editors, publishers, models etc., all use iPhones to communicate. iPhones have been a technological sensation since their inception in 2007, and have become a go-to for many of the most style savvy creatives in the world. Paying attention to the influx and widespread nature of the iPhones, key designers have looked to produce fun and fashionable cases that protect the phone whilst allowing them to take pictures and ensuring they are stylish accompaniments to any outfit. The most famous phone cases have come from Marc Jacobs, who regularly produces weird and wacky designs, Chanel’s iPhone perfume bottle holder with a long chain to drape over your shoulder and Kenzo’s cool cases emblazoned with a roaring tiger, a motif that featured predominantly on jumpers and T-shirts in their ready-to-wear collection. 

Headphones

More often than not, you will see people on public transport or plugged in at work with a pair of headphones to whichever mp3 device they opt for (mostly an iPod or iPhone). Whilst this used to be the sole domain of the technology developers and manufacturers, designers are looking to break into this area too. In the A/W 2015 collections, Dolce and Gabbana sent models down the runways sporting large headphones. The prominent Italian design house collaborated with Frends, a leading fashion electronic company to produce what are perhaps the most opulent headphones in history. Ornately embellished with pearls, jewels, gold leafing, Swarovski crystals and multi-coloured faux furs, these aren’t just headphones: they are statements in luxury. At a whopping price tag of £4, 600, these headphones aren’t exactly a steal and will probably come with a huge insurance bill too. But, they do pack a punch and Dolce and Gabbana are paving a way for the future of fashionable technology. 

Sneakers

Sneakers and high-fashion seem to be the ultimate oxymoron. Yet, in the past couple of seasons after the huge success of normcore and the luxury sportswear trend of 2014, designers are continuing to include sneakers and trainers in their collections. After all, even the most on-trend glamazons need to give their feet some fashionable down time. Thanks to the luxury nature of designer sneakers, they can be paired with many outfits, from deconstructed tailoring to adding some urban edge to a polished evening dress. Shop these styles at Mary Jane Fashion. Some of the most prestigious fashion houses like Valentino, Givenchy, Lanvin, Fendi and Saint Laurent have created their own incarnations of the sneaker, adding luxury embellishments, popping prints and premium leathers and suedes into their shoes. These definitely aren’t sneakers for exercise or working out, but they are perfectly adapted to suit the fast paced lives we live, which invariably include working, travelling and partying. Now, our feet can achieve all these things whilst retaining comfort and style.

Kosmea Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil Review

Kosmea Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil

If you have dull, dry or uneven skin tone then this post is for you. I have oily skin which is acne prone! I have few scars from acne that I absolutely hate. Rose Hip oil has got many raves from all around beauty world and I must say I am pretty impressed by this oil. It is one such oil that suits all skin tones and gives a radiant look to the skin. This has become my HG night serum and I so wish Kosmea become easily available in India too! Kosmea Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil* is priced at $27.95 and you can buy online HERE.

Kosmea Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil

Swatch of Kosmea Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil

Kosmea Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil comes in a white and red cardboard box packaging with all the information written over it. The actual product comes in a dark brown glass bottle with a white dropper lid. The dropper allows you to measure drops accurately and avoids any wastage of the product. The dark glass bottles preserve the aromatic and therapeutic properties of oil in the serum. The packaging is very light and the bottle can be easily carried around in a bag without any fear of leakage or spillage. The serum is dark orange in color with a mild fragrance which is not very pleasant (though it is not irritating too so no complaints!).

The rose Hip oil has oil like consistency and is neither very thick nor very runny. It can be used on its own but as I have oily combination skin, I mix a drop of oil in my Olay Night Cream. I then rub it between my palms and apply it on my skin gently. It gets absorbed easily without leaving a greasy residue behind. It makes my skin soft, smooth and hydrated the moment I apply it. You can use it in morning and at night but I apply it only once a day. I wake up with a soft, smooth, hydrated and radiant skin. Honestly it is the BEST FACE OIL I have ever used. It helps in reducing acne, acne scars, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone and gives a glow to dry and dull skin. It has controlled my sebum to a great extent. My T-zone does not get very oily since the time I am using it (the weather has also improved a bit!). 

Rose Hip oil is rich in Vitamin A (which is natural retinol) that stimulates the production of elastin and collagen giving a youthful glow to the skin. It also contains essential fatty acids that prevents wrinkles and makes skin moisturized. I have been using it since 2 months and I can visibly see a huge difference to my skin. It is more luminous, acne scars have reduced and makes skin clear, even and smooth. It can be used on all skin types even sensitive and acne prone!

Though the bottle look quite small but it will last really really long!

PROS:

• Comes with a dropper lid that is very easy to use.

• Makes skin hydrated and balanced.

• Suits all skin types even sensitive skin.

• Reduces acne, scars, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

• Does not make skin oily or greasy.

• Gets absorbed quickly.

• Kosmea provides International shipping!

• Reasonably priced for such an amazing product.

CONS:

• None!

Overall Thoughts:

It is the best face oil I have tried till date. It gets absorbed quickly and makes it very soft, smooth, plump and radiant. It has become an essential part of my night time skincare regimen. It reduces acne, acne scars, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to everyone!

Rating: 5/5

My Tips:

• Do not use it around eye area.

• Mix it with cream or serum if you have oily skin.

• If you live in cool place then you can use it in morning as well.
