Review and EOTD: Clinique high impact mascara

Hey “BD beauties”!

I recently reviewed the Clinique all on one colour palette and a sample size of the Clinique high impact mascara was provided. As most of you beauty enthusiasts may know, this mascara had a huge vibe going on when it were released so I thought it needed a review post of its own.

Full size costs $16 on cliniques online store

What does Clinique say about this mascara?

Kicks up the volume and length of each and every lash for a look that's lusher, plusher, bolder. Pure, deep colour only adds to the impact. Wear it once and you'll feel naked without it. Ophthalmologist Tested.

My experience with this product

This was my first high end mascara so as usual was very much excited to try how this works. The first thing I noticed was that the wand was a pretty standard wand which we see a lot in the market both by drugstore brands and high end so I assumed it’s the formula that special and it sure was.

The formulation is the right consistency that it doesn’t clump up whatsoever. The mascara doesn’t flake as well creating a mess under your eyes. I find this mascara separating my lashes well and also lengthening well. It does volumize my lashes too but i stop at 2 coats in order to avoid thick ugly lash build up.

Although the product size was a sample size, I find that its lasting quite a while as mascara need to be disposed after 3 or 4 months, i find this very useful!

Most of the mascara does come off with water but a little bit of oil or makeup remover is needed to remove it off fully although it’s not waterproof.

April favourites!

1 Clinique all in one colour palette

I got this palette around mid April and been loving it since! What I love the most about this palette are the shadows! They are really pigmented, not chalky and great wear. All shades were neutrals too so that was a plus! I have a detailed review of this palette HERE.

I featured this in my previous favourites post as well and have been yet loving it! More than the formulation, I love the brush on this product! Review HERE.

3 Elf studio blush in ‘gotta glow’ (highlighter)

Tutorial: Demonstration of clinique all in one colour palette

I recently reviewed the Clinique all in one colour which I recommended as a great travel palette in I was excited to use the shadows in an eye tutorial so this is what I came up with. Since the shades are basically neutral, I thought I try a day time neutral eye with this. It’s the easiest look you can try and of course you can substitute similar shades from different brands. The reason for this post is to show these shadow in action rather than just swatching them. Overall I have to say that I’m impressed! Enjoy the tutorial :)

Hey “BD beauties”!

 Most of you might have seen my haul where I showed the products i received from cosme-de and so i wanted to review them today!

Website introduction

cosme-de is an online store that sells makeup, skincare, fragrance and bath and body products at great prices compared to other stores. They cater mostly to the high end products so if that’s the type you love trying out, you should definitely try purchasing from them!

On the top of my head i can say that the few of the brands they carry are benefit, bobbi brown, Christian dior, burberry, calvin klein, chanel, Clinique and so much more!

The best part is that they offer free shipping on all products in their website! That’s one of the things i get really excited with a company especially because of the fact that shipping to my country can e pretty expensive.

The customer service was incredible and very responsive and my package arrived within 18 days roughly! I have to compliment this website on how securely the products were packaged! The products were individually wrapped in bubble wrap and also with those inflated bags which you can see in the picture.

Product review

The two products i selected from the website are the Clinique all in one color palette and the secret petite hand cream. Its definitely not going give justice to my readers if i cramp both reviews in one so i will be having mini reviews in this post and more detailed reviews in the coming week so that i satisfy the mere purpose of writing product reviews.

The Clinique all in one colour palette ($50)

This palette is referred to as the travel palette by Clinique and I cannot agree more! This has everything that a makeup enthusiast needs when travelling. Wouldn’t you agree with me that there is a high probability that you would go with soft eye looks when you’re travelling rather than going all out and experimenting? This palette gives you what you need exactly for day and night. There is a lot of variety with the lipsticks provided including nudes, bolds and bright.

As for face products, I feel like they have designed it for a light to medium skin toned woman thus the face powder and blush may not be right for you.

The tools given with the palette are surprisingly high quality especially the lush brush. As much as we all hate those sponge applicators that come along with palettes, I figured for a busy person who is travelling this would defiantly be useful!

Detail review of this product will be coming up soon!

The Secret petite angel hand cream ($8 for 35ml of product)

Some you might be blessed with soft supple hands but I’m definitely not one of you girls as my hands are really hard to take care of i would say stubborn rather, they do not respond to even the most rich formulas so obviously a hand cream would e a great pick. The scent of this product reminds me of how a baby smells when he/she is freshly washed and changed! This is definitely a rich formulation as you can feel the moisturization as you massage it and to match up to that it does take a while to get absorbed in your hands also. This travel size is perfect to throw in your handbag when you’re on the go!

Detailed review will be coming up soon!
