NOTW Week 50

Hey all, I keep getting bitten by the pastel bug every few weeks and decided to reach for #332 from Tenno. It's a sea foam green colour with medium shine. It goes on opaque in 2 coats and self-levels like a dream. I'm wearing a single coat here. These polishes come in this unique oval - shaped bottles which are quite short. Because of the length of the bottles, the brush is quite short and not dense enough. I found it slightly tricky to paint my large nails without streaks. A denser brush would have taken this whole nail polish up several notches. 

A set of 12 7ml bottles retails for INR 400. The brand claims to be non-toxic, chip resistant, stain proof and long lasting. I have to agree, I had absolutely no chips on my dominant hand after 4 days. Go for it!

Makeup Inventory 2022 - Primers

 Finally I've decided to bite the bullet & do a makeup inventory. I'm scared of what I'll find in my substantial stash but here goes. Starting with the primers 

ELF Mineral Face Primer in Clear

Almost done with this one, I've very little left. My oily skin loves it and I will be using it come summer. This one has taken a back seat since I started using the Maliao one. 

SFR Color Primer in #120 Green

30 ml

I don't like this one at all. It has a serum type consistency & doesn't really help in filling out my pores or in making my makeup last longer. The green tint doesn't translate onto the skin & hence does not even help in cancelling out redness. Forcing myself to use this one up since it expires in Dec 22

Maliao Magic Perfecting Base Face Primer

30 ml

Absolutely love this one. I have stopped using all other primers after I discovered this one. 

Stay Quirky First Base Primer Oil

10 ml

I have oily skin & silicone based primers are my jam. But as I'm getting older my regular primers don't seem to work as well in winters. Bought this one specifically for winters & I quite like it. Never did I ever think I would be using a primer oil! 

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Primer

Again a winter primer. Love the finish this one provides. 

Insight Eyeshadow Base Primer

Robert Welsh finally convinced me to ditch my concealer and use an eyeshadow primer. This one's texture, colour, smell, everything is exactly like the L'Oréal Base Magique one. It works exceedingly well on my oily lids.
