Makeup Inventory - Loose Powders

As an oily skinned gal, powders are my best friend & I have quite a few 


Lakme Rose Powder

Don't remember when I bought it but I have very little left. I absolutely dislike the container it came in & have stored it in another powder container. Can't wait to be done with this

ADS Luxury Banana Powder
INR 150 for 20 gm

I love this one... It's a dupe of the Ben Nye Banana Powder. It's so finely milled & sets the eye area like a dream. I obviously got a backup in a bigger size as well. 


ADS Luxury Banana Powder
INR 120 for 40 gm

Let's face it. I'm never going to run out of powder. 

Spinz BB Face Talc
INR 42 for 55 gm

Bought this on a whim. It has slightly larger particles but at this price I'm not complaining. 

NYN Natural Finish Loose Powder
INR 130

Now this one looks like the banana powder with glitter. So much glitter that you can spot it from a mile away. Using it to set my eyelids currently. Something tells me I will be stuck with this forever.

June 2020 Empties

Another month gone by & another empties post

Biocare Foot Spa Cream

INR 150-200 (depending on where you buy it from) for 500 gm

I love buying regularly used products in bigger sizes. It cuts down on the plastic pollution and is easy on the pocket as well. This is a nice heavy moisturizer that gets absorbed quickly. I also love the scent. I have used quite a few of these Biocare creams & will be repurchasing soon.

Vaadi Herbals Enchanting Rose Soap

INR 46 for 100 gm

I have tried pretty much every variant of soap from this brand. I love them to bits & got this without a second thought. Though the soap is good I absolutely dislike the heavy incense kinda smell. Still have 2 more of these to go through.



Dexe lip balm X 2

INR 350 for 12

I love these. Hard to find petrolatum - free lip balms at this price. Still have 5 more. Will be repurchasing if I ever manage to finish my stash.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea EDT

INR 2000 for 100 ml

I love how refreshing this smells. It has a very low sillage & I will not be repurchasing again.

Blue Heaven Signature Mascara

INR 150

God! This is the worst mascara ever. I bought it because I loved the packaging but it doesn't do anything. I will be repurposing the wand to apply my DIY eye serum to my lashes and brows.

Did you finish any new products this month?

Makeup Inventory - Foundation

Up until 2 years back I only had 1 foundation and 1 BB Cream in my stash. Then I went crazy & started stocking up

Wet n Wild Photofocus Foundation in Golden Beige

INR 599 for 30 ml

I like this foundation. It gives medium coverage which can be built up & skin looks nice and matte. The applicator is also decent. I just don't like the overly chemical smell of this foundation. 

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 128 Warm Nude

INR 500 for 30 ml

Love everything about this. If I have to repurchase any 1 foundation this will be it. 

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation in Pure Beige Medium 2

INR 500 for 30 ml

This is my second bottle which should tell you how much I like it.

  •  

Olivia Liquid Foundation in Soft Beige 3

INR 100 for 28 ml

Satin finish foundation which feels super heavy on my oily skin. I bought this when pretty much every youtuber was claiming that it was a full coverage foundation. Bah! It's not all that it's made out to be. 

Olivia Makeup Stick in 08 Egyptian Light

INR 140 for 15 gm

A multi purpose product - can be used as foundation as well as concealer. Again feels heavy on my oily skin & I can only use in winters. 

Olivia Waterproof Pancake in 26 Almond Dust

INR 120 for 25 gm

I went ham & bought everything from Olivia. This gives full coverage & is matte to boot. Like it

Maybelline Clear glow BB Stick in 04 Fawn

INR don't remember for 10 gm

Wrong shade, wrong texture for my skin. It provides next to no coverage & just feels like an extra step with 0 benefits. 

Blue Heaven Signature Foundation in Natural

INR 25 for
Light weight & gives sheer coverage. I don't know what more you can expect at 25 bucks

Spinz BB Cream

INR 52 for 15 gm

When I first saw the texture I had a mini heart attack. It reminded me of the God-awful Fair & Lovely BB Cream. This one's way better though. Blends well & gives sheer coverage. Will be repurchasing eventually.
