Makeup Routine:Cheeks & Lips

Earlier...Ive made a post specially dedicated to face and eyes so I guess its time to finally complete this boring series once and all together by doing this last one. Though I often get lazy all the time, this is the maximum makeup that I do if i need to do..or feel like doing it. I often have to struggle myself thinking about the makeup-removing task because Im very frightened about the theory that If i dont remove makeup properly, I would end up with acne by the next day. Though Im deligent enough to remove it, Im always afraid that I might not clean it properly. Anyways, off with ramblings and now on to the subject...here it goes:

Cheeks:
Im not much of a blush person..I know, may be I havent found a good enough blush to get the hang of it...but for now..here are the products that I have in my makeup collection.
1. NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Orange: This is a bright orange. Though it looks toomuch in the pot, it comes out like a nice warm peachy flush of color on cheeks if worn with a very very light hand.
2. Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher in Rose Crush: I bought this waaaaay back, that I dont even remember when. But its just a pink blush, that looks muddy on my cheeks. This is the one that made me think that im unfit for blushes. But now I use it as an eyeshadow... works good in that way for me.

These 2 are the only blushes..and Im now looking for an Orange powder blush...thats cheap enough so that I wouldnt feel the guilt if that doesnt fit me.Jordana, Wet n wild, NYC, Elf, Essence  are the options that I have right now..but not sure whether they carry any orange shades.

Lips:
Coming to the lips..my options are very limited. I cant carry heavy formulas...cos I always tend to blot them away, no matter how hard I try to adjust myself to it. Anyways, I'l put what I have right now with me and share my story about lipsticks later, which I really need to confess.

• Revlon SeuperLustrous Lipstick, in sandstone (mix of bright orange&birck red)
• Revlon MoistureExtreme Lipstick (its discontinued now,dont remember the name,stiker peeled off, but its pink in color)
• Revlon Superlustrous lisptick in Toast of Newyork
• Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick in Peach Me
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Crimson
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Peach
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Coral
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Rosy Nude
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Heredes (my fav from NYX)
• Nyx Round Lipstick in TeaRose
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Fig
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Margarita
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Indian Pink
• Covergirl Lipperfection lipstick in Impassion
• Covergirl Lipperfection Lipstick in Bewtich
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Sweet Strawberry
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Sugar Cookie
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Berry Colada
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Sugar Plum

Okay..thats a huge list..but im telling you these are all that I have right now...pretty less for a girl right?? yeah..anyways...coming to the lipsticks I have special corner for them in my heart...about which I think I need to share it in another post... However, I think I can end my journey now...because I just feel that I found what i needed. For eg. Jordana Easy shine glossy lipcolor is what I needed. All im looking for is a sheer wash of color, that doesnt dry out my lips and jordana fits there.

Thats it folks...See ya..
Have any queries...ask...Hopefully im thinking of to do the swatch thing soon...its just that im too lazy to get my camera out...u know..all that things...
Okay bye for now..

Makeup Routine: Eyes/Eyebrows

As though I havent bored u/me enough..Im doing another post or detailed post about my makeup routine..and now its eyes..

Eyebrows:
N.Y.C Brow/Eyeliner Pencil, Brown:
Now, Ive tried the NYX Eyebrow cake kit...but didnt get the hype about it. May be its just me that, I would like to grab a pencil and give them little strokes and then im all set. On top note, I have normal eyebrows, that basically doesnt need filling but i use and eyebrow pencil, because i need to groom/comb them. They are always droopy, and i dont like to use wax to set them. Anyways, on a daily basis I use N.Y.C brow/eyeliner pencil in brown and whenever I have to stay all day out I use Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in Dark Brown. Now, Revlon Colorstay eyeliner is some serious eyeliner but works good as eyebrow pencil for me and as an eyeliner, my eyelids can smudge out even the thoughest smudgeproof liners out there.

Elf Studio Eyelash Curler:
Now many claim to invest in a good eyelash curler, but I dont get it. As far as the curve suits ur eyelids, ur good to go. Ive got some unknown brand earlier, but after going through several reviews raving about this Elf curler, I thought to try it and if dint suit me either, would hit some sephora. But hell, nope, its so good..that Im pretty much hanging out with it. Now coming to the pretty awesomeness..it costs just $1. Im pretty surprise by looking at it in real life. I observed sephora's curler once (while I was window shopping) and thought that its okay. But coming to this one $1..??are you kidding me, really. If u happen to get a chance to get it..I highly recommend this one. Especially all the makeup beginners..go get it.


Mascara:
Maybelline Colassal Volume Mascara(Waterproof)
Now coming to the mascara..I dont use it on a regular basis, because, no matter how hard i try to remove it,i feel that there are bits still there to remove and couldnt get them out. I actually suppose that I need to get a non-waterproof mascara, but on the other hand, my eyelids are super greasy, and worried it might smudge them up, worried about the panda look. Anyways, I dont put on mascara on a daily basis..I just curl them and good to go. If i need something extra like going out for parties and such, then i put this. Its just that I worry about removing thing.

Eyeshadow:
NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette
Strike a Pose
Now coming to the Eyeshadows, honestly, I cant play with them. I cant even go with shimmery, even with a hint. They all has to be matte, giving just a hint of color. I often find myself grabbing the yellow-brown, taupes, peach, warm pink colors. So, I just assume that I shouldnt get eyeshadows, which is why this palette has been sitting around since...i dont know... Sometimes..while Im travelling I carry Covergirl Lipperfection Lipcolor in Impassion( a coppery brown orange with lots of golden shimmers) and I use that as eyeshadow..yup there u go..Sometimes I even use blushes over the the eyelids. Just one more note...I never do/did smokey eyes in my life..and didnt even want to...

Thats it..
See you..

My Makeup Routine(Face)

Hellooo again...
As Ive shared my Skincare routine in my previous post, thought of to post my makeup routine as well.
Lets begin:
For Face:
Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, SPF30, light to medium:
Usually, im that type of person where I cant fit myself into using a liquid foundation. Ive tried several sheer coverage foundations, but couldnt fit. Tried Revlon Colorstay(could u believe that ive dumped it in trash), Maybelline Fit me(felt very uncomfortable), even Lakme(yuck) and always thought that I might have to try all the liquid foundations out there to see what suits me. But no, one day I was reading some article that there is a thing called 'powder girl', or 'foundation girl' or 'no makeup look tinted moisturizer girl' and then i got that im the last one. Earlier, I used PONDS Age Miracle Tinted Moisturizer and Lotus Herbals 3in1 matte look sunblock. But now that I couldnt get my hands on either of them, have to choose this one. On the other hand, whenever I try to put sunblock on (Neutrogena Ultrasheer dry touch sunblock,SPF70) it left an apparent white cast, so I really hated sunscreens. But now that this tinted moisturizer had SPF and tint in it..its 2 in 1. I dont consider the moisturization nor the radiance,because i use moisturizer beneathe it and put powder on top of it.

Setting Powder:
Johnson's Baby Powder.
Now,Ive never gor the hype about putting on some powder. But one day while I did it accidentally and oh boy..it really helped me to stay fresh all day long. No wonder, my dry skin contributing further, a friend of mine even complemented me that I was glowing after a long day. From then on, its my essential. Now to mention that I even put it on when im at home, without any makeup on. Im not sure whether its true or not, but after Ive started using this powder, my acne was considerably none. Im not sure about any theories, but its the way that working for me. Now, they have several variants, and the one I like is Talc based(yeah i know cancer and all that stuff...but hell...dont lamer powder has talc in it?? let me know, if u knw). AFter trying this baby powder, I have an old PONDS sandalwood talc at home, so Ive tried that one..and haha..I got acne the next day. So back to it now.

For Travel:
Searching for Compact Pressed Powder:
Well, I havent found one that works for me right now, which has to be reasonbly priced, needs to have a mirror and puff for onthego touchups,doesnt breakout my skin. Ill update this part after I get it. Right now Im eying on N.Y.C Smooth Skin pressed powder, but not sure abt the quality, have to read the reviews though. Suggestions are welcome.

And finally...Few things that I would like to mention before I step out for today:
One, as u can see the products that Im using now are not at all high end. So if u r Riche rich, u might not like it. Reason why..honey, been there done that. Sometimes, though u pay a lot, its not going to do good, and sometimes wonders are out there sitting in ur drugstore aisles with little or no price tags attached. Its just that u need to read several reviews to get that kind of products. Thank the wonderful blogosphere and makeupalley for all the reviews.
And second, Im here with these products not by mere luck, some could say..'that might suit ur skin, but im sensitive to such ingredients..and im going to skip'. Honey..believe me, my skin is the most sensitive skin amongst all. I have dry,sensitive and acne prone skin that tans easily when i go out in to the sun even with sunscreen.

Okay bye for now..this is too much for one day..
And stay tune..I have lots or products to share with u all..
