Makeup Inventory 2020 - Blushes

 Next stop, blushes. In all my years of using makeup I've never been more scared of any product than blush. It's taken years for me to finally be able to wear it outdoors. Bit of a personal battle. Let's start 

ADS Magic Blusher Shade 2

This is my oldest blush palette. It has a nice shimmery finish & because of that I hardly ever reach clown cheeks stage. Also the colours are pretty unique for something so cheap. 

Mars 5 Color Blush

I bought this because I loved the packaging and have a similar contour palettte as well. Supremely pigmented, you barely need a smidgen. 

Mars 5 Color Blusher Palette Shade 2

16 gm

Again superb pigmentation. Hard not to go overboard

SFR Color Flower Blusher 01

10 gm

How gorgeous is this! Made up of mostly pale, barely there shades; it works great as an everyday blush. 10 freaking grams of it! I don't think I'll ever make a dent on it. 

Faces Mineral Blush in Pink Topaz 

6 gm

An old favourite, a pretty coral 

Maybelline Cheeky Glow in Creamy Cinnamon 

7gm

Another favourite especially now that I'm over pink blushes in general 

Faces Cream Blush in Peach Glow

3.5 gm

I love this colour - neither orange nor peach but just right 

SFR Color Blusher in Naked Apricot

4 gm 

Slightly more deeper than the Maybelline one. I would highly recommend that you get it. The cute, magnetic packaging is a definite plus

Mars Glow Highlighter Liquid in 5

15 ml

Nice & glowy. The glitter is a bit much for my liking but I still make it work. 

P. S : The lighting is all over the place but please bear with me 

Highlighter Inventory 2020

 For someone with oily skin I have an unhealthy amount of highlighter. In the summer months my skin pretty much produces its own highlighter and I only use these in the colder months. Let's begin 

Essence Sun Club Brunettes

4 £ for 11 gm

This was the first highlighter I ever bought. I still like using this underneath my blush for a subtle glow. 

Hilary Rhoda Highlighter Palette 

INR 350

I received this in a damaged state & this is probably the only way I'll ever be able to hit pan on anything. Decent quality 

SFR Color Glow Nude Highlighter Palette in #1

INR 99 for 10.82 gm

Cream highlighters which are easier to use if you have drier skin. I like applying this on my collarbones. 

ADS Pro Illuminator Makeup Base

INR 200 for 30 ml

Strictly not for the face. Has chunky glitter so can be used on the body. 

SFR Color HD Liquid Illuminator in #02 

INR 99 for 15 gm

Love this one. Pretty pinkish champagne colour which looks incredible when used beneath foundation. 

Swiss Beauty Glam Stick in Gold Stick

INR 200 

The packaging on this thing - looks premium. A tad too golden for my liking. Again for my collarbones. 

Mars Glow Highlighter Liquid in #3

15 ml (I bought a set of 3 for around 300 bucks) 

I love the white golden sheen this one provides. It dries super fast so you need to work quickly with this one. 

4 loose shimmer powders in gold, silver, copper & bronze shades

(Don't know the quantity of product. I bought 12 for INR 200) 

This was part of a dozen loose pigments I bought from Flipkart. These are perfect as highlighters & would suit any skin tone. 

Makeup Inventory 2020 - Kajals

 It was only after I clicked the pictures that I realised that I haven't included not 1,not 2 but 3 kajals from my stash! Anyway here goes

ADS Kajal

The cheapest & most pigmented of them all. ADS is hell bent on copying ALL of The Balm products. 

Blue Heaven Soft Kajal Eyeliner

INR 125 for 0.31 gm

Decent enough 

Lakme Glide on Eye Colour

1.2 gm

No pigmentation at all. I like to layer it on top of black kajal 

Maliao Intense Gel Kajal

Insane pigmentation on this one. Love! 

Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil

Pretty ancient & turns out has completely dried out. Into the bin

Streetwear Kajal

Poor pigmentation & feels harsh. Binning this one. 

Vlcc Kajal

INR 55 for 1 gm

Got it as a free gift with something I bought. Regular pigmentation but smudges like crazy. I only use it as a base for doing smokey eyes.

The one's I missed out on

Coloressence Kajal

Again a free gift. I love the packaging (looks like a lipstick)

Elle 18 Kajal

The one I'm currently trying to use up. Pretty good

Mars Soft Eyeliner Pencil in White

Super soft & extremely pigmented. I don't use this often enough. Am I the only one who thinks white in your lower water line looks super scary? 

6 coloured kajals from Me Now - Royal blue, turquoise, emerald green, neon green, brown & black

I love using these. They can even be used as a base for eyeshadows 

OK, all done. 

Makeup Inventory - Concealers

I don't use a lot of concealer so this should be quick

Maybelline - This is the only concealer I have & it works well with my skin.


Mars  Face Contour Kit - I loved how this looked & got it without a second thought. The first 2 shades are quite pale for my skin & I use them as an eye shadow base. They can even be used as a highlighting concealer. The central shade matches my skin to a T & this is the one I use mostly. The last two shades are for contouring.

So happy I don't have a lot in this category. See you again soon. Cheers

ColorNations Haul

As I mentioned in my previous post I've been buying makeup from Cuffs n Lashes from some time now. The process has been smooth & hassel free. This time the one product that I did want to buy was available on ColorNations only. I don't know if the 2 sites are connected in any way or not but the layout etc is super similar. Anyhow,  I placed my order & waited a good 6 days for my products to reach me. The package finally landed in Bangalore but the courier guy gave it to another girl in my neighnourhood with the same name as mine! Thankfully, she had the good sense to call on my number. Long story short I finally got my parcel 8 days after ordering. But it was not to be a happy ending. Sigh!

Hilary Rhoda Glow Kit in 01

INR 350 for 24 gm

Expiry January 2022

This was the product for which I had placed this entire order. It came in tons of bubblewrap but was completely damaged inspite of it. I want to be mad at the site but they have packaged it well. Out of the 8 highlighter shades only 3 have survived. The rest have blended into an iridescent powder which I have stored in a jar separately. So, so disappointed

Bonjour Eyelashes in 107

INR 30

Bonjour Eyelashes in 001

INR 30

I wanted to try out false lashes & couldn't find anything more affordable. It even comes with a tiny tube of glue.

Mars 5 Color Blusher

INR 300

Expiry May 2020

I only bought it for the packaging.  I have the contour kit in similar packaging & thought it would make a nice set together. These are insanely pigmented. Half of a smidgen would be great for a daytime look.

Cuticle remover

INR 15

Looked pretty. Did I need one? Hell no.

Shang Ling Liquid Eyeliner in Black

INR 85

One more thing I bought because of the cuteness factor. It comes with a stick type applicator which I don't know how to use. Ah well!

Zovi Waterproof Eyeliner in Blue

INR 40 for 5 ml

Wanted one from some time. Pretty good for the price.

ADS Banana Powder

INR  120 for 40 gm

Expiry October 2021

Just for backup. I have one more which I use. Love this stuff.

Mars Aloe Vera Makeup Fixing Spray

INR 195  for 160 ml

Expiry January 2022

The only thing in this entire haul that I actually needed. A wee bit sticky but it does the job.

ADS Olive Compact Powder

INR 220 for 50 gm

Expiry July 2022

This is HUGE! Like the size of a pancake. It might last a good 2 years for me.

That's all for now. Cheers!
