I feel like it's been ages since I bought myself any makeup, because really, it has! I've been buying stuff for my kit - which ofcourse I get to try out, but it's not really mine, y'know? Having said that, I did a bit of makeup shopping recently...
... One fine day, I woke wanting to try some new products. Since I was in the market for a new bronzer, I looked around the usual sites that ship to India.. Beautybay, Luxola etc. By chance I popped onto strawberrynet, when they were having a 30% off sale, and I picked up these gems.
The Bare Minerals Bronzer in The Deep End because Aditi claims she likes it more than NARS Casino (my favorite)... theBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer - I've heard too many people rave about this, and for INR 1400, I just HAD to try it.
Lastly, a new primer... I hadn't heard too many reviews about the Bare Minerals Prime Time Brightening Primer, so I thought I would give it a go... because glow + me = win. It also happened to be priced at INR 1200. Can't go wrong with that, can I? Ofcourse, reviews of all of this coming soon!
As for the repurchases ... Bobbi Brown Corrector in Dark Peach and MAC Prolongwear Concealer in NC42 as I use those two every day!
Have you bought anything new lately?
Yay, you got the bronzer! I can't wait to hear what you think of it :D
ReplyDeleteSo... first impressions. More sheer than I would have liked... however, the colour is like Casino minus the shimmer. Which I love. It's also far more silky. I think I like.
DeleteYay! I'm surprised it's that sheer on you - on me I find it goes on with decent pigmentation and I can build it up how I want to.
DeleteOh no, it's not too sheer. Just more sheer than Casino, which I compare ALL my bronzers too!
Deletehow was your experience with strawberrynet ? I've been rather sceptical to order from there. How long did they take to deliver ? Did u pay any customs ? I'm dying to try the Mary Lou manizer too. All the beauty bloggers rave about it
ReplyDeleteHeya! This is probably the 5th time I'm ordering from them. Never had a problem so far! And yes, I had to pay customs, but i sent a copy of the bill to Strawberrynet and they kindly refunded the money!
DeleteI love my bobbi brown dark peach corrector and mac pro long wear concealer..both are HG status! Mar Lou Manizer is intense and I mean really intense..you just need a dab to get the glow!
ReplyDeleteThe thing about the Bobbi Brown Corrector is.. last time I bought it, about a year ago, it was INR1850, not it's INR2450. I don't understand how they justify this monumental increase in price. I might not be repurchasing it after this... but we'll see.
DeleteAs for Mary Lou, I expected it to be MIGHTLY intense, and maybe it's the way I'm using it, but it's pretty subtle... to me, anyway. I love my glow.
