I wore makeup (only lipstick and mascara, if at all these count) to work till first half of March. I have been in two minds about purchasing Pat McGrath palettes; god knows how many times I've added them to cart and logged out; I no longer have the heart to purchase non-cruelty-free makeup. To sum up, no non-cruelty-free purchases were made in 2020.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am assuming I don't have any non-cruelty-free products anymore (few lipsticks excluded). Also for all the skincare purchases I made this year, I selected brands that have adopted sustainable approach from manufacturing to packaging. So in terms of adhering to sustainable life choices, it was a good year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't have any favourites, pan projects for 2020. Getting eight hours of sleep and working in PJs: What more can I ask for? The year 2020 was insipid if I may describe it in one word. Everything came to pass like clockwork: wakeup, work, nap, study, sleep. Creativity and I broke up; <i>I am wondering if it is mutual</i> đ. I cannot recall doing anything exceptional this year; I had nothing <i>happening </i>to fill in my journal, absolutely nothing. My bullet journal for 2020 is blank. Down the line, I don't think I'll even have any good memory from 2020.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm trying to pull it together in 2021. Already started planning and setting goals for first half of 2021; I might as well just think of resolutions for the sake of "it".</p><p><br /></p><p><b>A blogpost a month</b>: I often run out of ideas for blogging, so I kept it that way for the year 2020; I have thesis to complete ("just done with one chapter"âI have been rattling off this statement throughout 2020), and it takes up all my time. I am planning to post anything, just about anything, as a blogpost here.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>More skincare?</b> I don't feel like posting things I dislike anymore; just not my thing. I will never take anybody's word before purchasing skincare. My skin has a mind of its ownâlets not talk about abrupt seasonal and sleep changes. đ I am just going to try adding a little more discipline to my routine.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>More makeup?</b> I did little tidying up of my stuff last week, and I had no idea I had this new, unopened Tarte face primer. I need better ideas to store my stash, or <i>I may need to better my eyesight</i>. Such times make me feel I need to have better control over my definitions of "need" and "want", and that I am overdoing things all.the.time. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Swatches:</b> Someday I am going to take everything out and swatch all my favourites and put up. I just don't know when that will be.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Writing it down:</b> This is something I am just going to do it. I remember imagining eyemakeup inspired by "Ten of Cups", but when I tried attempting it few days later, I had forgotten all about it. I feel the need to jot down my ideas. <b><i>I keep forgetting things.</i></b></p><p><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p>I foresee myself focussing on skincare more than makeup (I really wonder if I will be wearing any). Also, I don't see any pan projects happening in 2021 either, but I do have my wishlist ready.đ</p><p><i>I will submit my thesis this year, and I will pretend I don't have stardust in my eyes! đ I hope 2021 turns out great for everyone!</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Makeup Discoursehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13142618013156042273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418722904931667060.post-34663439538120468212020-09-03T21:55:00.069+05:302021-06-20T20:06:58.299+05:30Beauty Recycling Programmes in India<p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELtmcLxB7Pj0_BA2O_6xSfrs2CsvhoL4crhdhFsZqe77CZrDPppS8hZ-fisZ9jIzoVnG7y2YDREUYX_hB97k5W3wQZ6Y7WgfpMW6B_BeyBRpfNoSlf1_w7Q4NvOqfXKSKXsBnVhJWJMQ/s2048/beauty+recycling.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="beauty recycling programmes in India" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgELtmcLxB7Pj0_BA2O_6xSfrs2CsvhoL4crhdhFsZqe77CZrDPppS8hZ-fisZ9jIzoVnG7y2YDREUYX_hB97k5W3wQZ6Y7WgfpMW6B_BeyBRpfNoSlf1_w7Q4NvOqfXKSKXsBnVhJWJMQ/s16000/beauty+recycling.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;">I haven't worn or have bought makeup since March 2020; it has been six monthsânot onceâalthough I had planned to experiment during the lockdown. However, I've been actively exploring ways to recycle waste. I've been trying to do my bit, sometimes even going out of my way, and I believe all of us do. I only knew MAC's recycling programme, but I am delighted to state that there are many brands introducing recycling programs.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Thisârecycling criterionâis worth considering before purchasing any product, for me personally. This doesn't leave me with many choices, rather...I like to think...<i>its only fair! You get some, you lose some...</i></p><p style="text-align: left;">I am listing down all the brands, both cruelty free and non-cruelty free, available in India that offer recycling programmes. I am not categorising them as green, clean, ethically sourced or anything else, but I am solely looking at them as brands that encourage recycling by offering rewards in exchange.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Back to MAC**</h4><p style="text-align: left;">You get a free full-size lipstick from MAC's permanent collection in exchange of six primary packaging (except wooden pencils). This also includes empty pack of face wipes and empty pigment tubes. Primary packaging here refers to the component without the product, i.e., MAC eyeshadow/blush component with its pan intact; components with missing pan are not acceptable under this programme. You can avail the offered product, depending on your location, at any MAC counters. This programme is available online in <a href="https://www.maccosmetics.ca/giving_back/back_to_mac.tmpl"><i>Canada.</i></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">You can check the detailed terms and conditions for MAC's Back to MAC programme in India <a href="http://here." target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span>.</a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Kiehl's**</h4><p style="text-align: left;">Kiehl's has a recycling programmed named as "Recycle and Be Rewarded". Under this programme, consumers are rewarded with a "stamp" in exchange of one empty container. With certain number of stamps, one can avail deluxe samples, #1 lip balm and a full-size product (up to INR1200).</p><p style="text-align: left;">You can check the detailed terms and conditions for Kiehl's Recycle and Be Rewarded programme in India <a href="https://kiehls.in/recycle-and-be-rewarded" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span></a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The Body Shop*</h4><p style="text-align: left;">The Body Shop has two different programmes for rewards and recycling. For recycling, The Body Shop accepts empty containers under "In Store Recycling Scheme". Basically, The Body Shop accepts empty containers and passes them onto (a third party) their recycling partner. No reward system or point system is followed under this scheme. This scheme is limited only in select stores (all stand-alone stores) across India. You can draw "X" on the containers with a permanent marker and return them at select stores. I have returned two empty containers so far. Honestly, it feels nice to know that my empty containers won't end up being marine debris.</p><p style="text-align: left;">You can check the detailed terms and conditions and select stores for The Body Shop's In Store Recycling Scheme in India <a href="https://www.thebodyshop.in/bring-back-our-bottles" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span></a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Innisfree**</h4><p style="text-align: left;">Innisfree offers points as rewards on valid product purchases under "My Innisfree Rewards" programme and points in exchange of empty containers under their "Empty Bottle Recycling campaign". They offer membership "Welcome" on their first purchase which can be upgraded to "Premium" and "VIP" with purchase of Innisfree products worth INR 5000 and 10000, respectively. One can give back up to five empty containers per month in exchange of 1250 points per container.</p><p style="text-align: left;">You can check the detailed terms and conditions for Innisfrees's "My Innisfree Rewards" programme in India <a href="https://www.innisfree.com/in/en/customer/guide.do" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span></a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Plum*</h4><p style="text-align: left;">Plum accepts empty containers under their "Empties4Good" programme. Their packaging is made using recyclable materials. One can either send empties (only Plum containers) on their address or request a pick up by filling a form given on their website. For every empty container, Plum credits INR 50 in the sender's account.</p><p style="text-align: left;">You can check the detailed terms and conditions for Plum's "Empties4Good" programme in India <span style="color: #0b5394;"><a href="https://plumgoodness.com/pages/recycle#" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span></a>.</span></p><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">The Nature's Co.*</h4><p style="text-align: left;">The Nature's Co. accepts empty containers under their "#PlasticFreeWorld" programme. Empty bottles and containers, completely rinsed and packed in a cardboard box, are to be sent to their Plastic Collection Centre. An e-coupon card will be sent to the sender for their next purchase.</p><p style="text-align: left;">You can check the detailed terms and conditions for The Nature's Co.'s"#PlasticFreeWorld" programme in India <span style="color: #0b5394;"><a href="https://www.thenaturesco.com/pages/plasticfreeworld" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span></a>.</span></p><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(11, 83, 148);"><br /></span></span><p style="text-align: left;">Needless to say but its really important to rinse your empty containers to avoid contamination during the recycling process. Rejected containers end up at landfill sites. Apart from these brands, various brands such as L'Occitane, Garnier and Love Beauty and Planet have begun contributing to reduce their carbon footprint by using containers made from post-consumer recycled waste. This post is limited to the availability of brands in India. There are many brands across globe contributing in various ways; some brands may take inspiration. *wink*</p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*cruelty-free brand</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">**non-cruelty-free brand</span></p></div>Makeup Discoursehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13142618013156042273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418722904931667060.post-91663926846388565802020-01-04T20:12:00.003+05:302021-06-23T21:00:29.381+05:30Love of my life<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
My beauty resolution for 2020 is to pan makeup; I'm not on a makeup ban, but this girl's beauty space is expanding.... and I forgot to swatch the lipstick. <br />

<br />
<br />
I wanted this post to go live in 2019 but I didn't feel like blogging even though I wanted to...so 2020.<br />
<br />
<br />Makeup Artist Lisa Eldridge launched her first <i><b>True Velvet</b> C</i><b><i>ollection</i></b> with <b><i>Velvet Ribbon</i></b>, <b><i>Velvet Jazz</i></b> and <b><i>Velvet Morning</i></b> back in November 2018. I added <i><b>Velvet Ribbon</b></i> to cart and procrastinated for about sometime, and bam! I lost interest thinking I don't wear red everyday. I wanted it because it is similar to <i><b>Ruby Woo</b></i>âa blue-based red.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Then I forgot about it, about everything. I was too busy to even look at the swatches of her next launch, but I had a glimpse of <i><b>Go Lightly</b>. </i>How I overcame my impulsiveness, I do not know. <b><i>Rainbow spill</i></b> was my choice but I could hardly make use of it everyday. Then...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I chose <i><b>Love of My Life</b></i> because I wanted a colour I could wear everyday and finish it off within few months. I knew it I'd love the texture, and I want to experience what hitting a pan or finishing off a lipstick feels like. I still want <b><i>Velvet </i></b><i><b>Beauty</b></i> and <b><i>Velvet </i></b><i><b>Muse</b> </i>and maybe<i> </i>even<i> </i><b><i>Velvet </i></b><i><b>Fawn</b>. </i>I thought these would turn out pale on me but looking at the swatches on medium-olive skin tones, I regret! I don't know if Lisa will restock them.<br />
<br />
This shade is truly universal. I am sure this will look good even on all skin tones. A soft rose pink with a neutral undertone in lucent finish. <i><b>Love of My Life</b></i> is <b>cruelty-free and 100% vegan</b>. To put down in one line: This formula is quite unique. I know of lipsticks that form tides because of their balmy textures; this does not and that makes me reach out for this even more, even though I have worn this only twice because I was waiting for the moment. :D<br />
<br />
Here is how <i><b>Love of My Life</b></i> looks on medium-olive skin tone:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The finish, <b><i>Luxuriously Lucent</i></b>, in Lisa's words, indeed feels luxurious and lasts for about 4 hours and leaves a soft rosy tint. I love love love the pale gold and magnetic lipstick case. I have not yet gone lip liner hunting for this one, but I want to find a cruelty-free lip liner to go with this colour. Lisa's suggestions are <i>LancĂ´me - Le Lip Liner - Pourquoi Pas 317</i> and <i>Barry M - Lip Liner - Dark Pink 2</i>.<br />
<br />
What is the best thing I like about this lipstick? The colour.<br />
The camera fails do justice to the colour and lip swatches here. So I tried clicking under both lighting conditions with all sort of settings. The colour looks deeper in the pictures. In person, this colour is more soft and not as deep and vibrant as in the pictures. Probably a kind of pink that'll flatter all looks from soft to smokey.<br />

To conclude, I love <i><b>Lisa Eldridge's Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour in </b><b>Love of My Life</b>,</i> and I also want the aforementioned shades. I am resisting to get the <i><b>True Velvet</b> C<b>ollection</b></i> because I cannot wear reds everyday. I am really hoping to finish this one off soon, so I am wearing it everyday, even though I don't wear face makeup everyday and it still flatters my bare face. This alone got me excited enough to spend a fortune to get hold of this.<br />
No affiliate; you can check her lipsticks here: <a href="https://www.lisaeldridge.com/shop/beauty/">https://www.lisaeldridge.com/shop/beauty/</a><br />
<br />
I paid the shipping, and I had to pay custom duty, and I wasn't happy about it.<br />
<br />
But <i>Love of My Life </i>sounds so cheesy! đ<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 11pt;">Step one</span></h4>
I still use the good old extra virgin olive oil, but for light makeup or sunscreen, I'm quite liking <b>Josie Maran's Argan cleansing oil</b>. It is vegan and cruelty-free, but repurchase? Probably not.<br />
<span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino"; font-size: 11pt;">Step two</span></h4>
<b>The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution.</b> I cannot see any other toner, if my shelves hold this. For first few uses, I woke up with breakouts and stopped using it, but if I dab this onto wet skin, it doesn't irritate my skin. This one's a keeper!<br />
<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino";"><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;">Step three</span></span></h4>
Either <b>Kiko Milano Smart Glow Drops </b>or <b>The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA</b>. If I am using spot treatment, I skip this step and move onto moisturising. Occassionally, I make my own <b>Vitamin C serum</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino";"><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;">Step four</span></span></h4>
This is the most crucial step, and the one that is unpredictableâI have so many options to choose fromâmoisturisers, facial oils or sleeping masks. Coming to sleeping masks, I'm trying to love the <b>Freeman Honeydew & Chamomile Sleeping Mask </b>for neck and dĂŠcolletage, but I'm going back to <a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2016/07/the-body-shop-drops-of-youth-bouncy.html" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: #e06666;">my absolute favourite</span></i></a>. For my current skin conditions, BrownBoi's Saffron oil has been working just fine.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino";"><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;">Step five</span></span></h4>
This one is optionalâexclusively for weeknights, when I want to reflect upon things or even watch a movie. I treat my skin to a mask or five-minute massage. <b>The Ordinary's AHA and BHA Peeling Solution</b> for under-the-skin bumps, <b>Himalaya Neem pack</b> for detoxification and massage for the nights when my tiredness is visible through my skin. <i>sigh.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "palatino";"><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "palatino";"><span style="font-size: 14.666666984558105px;"><br /></span></span>This post is restricted to the current weather. I am also trying to incorporate new products and few additional steps, which are not necessary for the current weather. For nights when I want to sleep as soon as I get homeâstep one, two and four, it is. I think I've filtered so many in-between steps that make a world of difference. I think I'll post an in-depth routine before 2019 ends.</div>

Makeup wasn't on my mind for these eleven months. More or so, it has been a combination of "stuck in a rut" and "whatever" situation. A pretty colourless year for someone who loves the bling. I've discovered some gems; somethings worth repurchasing.<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
The Ordinary Serum Foundation</i></h4>
I was way too sceptical to get these (I am using the demonstrative pronoun "these" because I bought three shades). Most of them said it separates on them and does not provide much coverage. But <i>boy!</i> there is nothing I dislike about the formulation. When I added these to my cart, I shrugged assuming ÂŁ18 won't hurt. One pump and it evens out the skin without looking like I'm wearing any makeup. It does not separate on me, irrespective of using primer or setting it with powder. What makes me consider this a great foundation? It does not settle in my laugh lines.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light</i></h4>
At first, I didn't like it with all that dusty, fine powder particles on the mirror and rim. I believe that is the peculiar thing about baked powders. Considering it is so expensive, a little goes a long way. I barely touch the surface of the pan with a large fluffy brush and buff and sweep all over the face. I use this as finishing powder and <i>swoon</i> inside every time. And yes, I have been asked why I'm glowing. This is basically Instagram filter in a compact. There were days when I used this over the tinted sunscreen and that's that. I have used this almost every single day of 2018 and the dome has barely any dent on it. <b>I am going to repurchase this all my life would be an understatement.</b><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW6zbdRnuRZgulPE9xHxeWYI6gERuK9iBnhsinwKs7E24-GPqaituOv33xMEHgLFWpcMk6SRNqFZXfJgHtsFjuvM8ZgQvjteodlhsSJvmUJLl9od1oynhbjJPmhDkwak50RhY5jsQnzYM/s1600/LR-0446.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW6zbdRnuRZgulPE9xHxeWYI6gERuK9iBnhsinwKs7E24-GPqaituOv33xMEHgLFWpcMk6SRNqFZXfJgHtsFjuvM8ZgQvjteodlhsSJvmUJLl9od1oynhbjJPmhDkwak50RhY5jsQnzYM/s1600/LR-0446.jpg" /></a></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Bioderma Sebium Global</i></h4>
I have used this as a primer for redness. Though it soothed the redness, I could not figure out its texture. I have used this exclusively through summer and on most days on the cheeks and nose. Somedays it would work great but some it would make the skin dry leading to more sebum secretion. And the worst possible it did was draw an appearance of texture as if layers of foundation lived on the surface of my skin. <i>Not flattering.</i><br />
<br />
This controlled sebum but also dehydrated those areas.<br />
<div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
LA Girl Pro conceal Green Corrector</i></h4>
Red pesky acne and the ever-deepening redness on my nose and cheeks are more troublesome than ever in winter. The redness is an unwanted side effect of adding acids to my skin care. This has been my rescue agent in all those red distress signal situations.</div>
<div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium Golden </i></h4>
My go-to mineral foundation for 2018. I like this even more than I like <b>Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation</b>. The formulation is light, buildable and meshes with the skin. It does not transfer unless you use too much, and the best part is skin looks like skin. This has a sheen to it, which accentuates the natural high-points. Though it evens out the skin, it cannot conceal nor it accentuates the dry flaky areas. I prefer using tea tree oil-based skincare under mineral foundations.<br />
This is the kind of foundation you wear to the gym. <i>*wink*</i><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Wet n Wild Photofocus Pressed Powder in Neutral Beige</i></h4>
This one is almost invisible on the skin. It sets and does not leave a cast. It works great for flash photography! Though it does not have any coverage, it looks and turns out exactly like <b>Mac Mineralize Skinfinish.</b> If only it had coverage! But I think this is the best cruelty-free dupe for <b>MAC Mineralize Skinfinish.</b><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Wet n Wild Photofocus Concealer in Light/Medium Beige</i></h4>
The best undereye concealer ever! I bought the most loved <b>Mac Prolongwear Concealer,</b> and I did not like it, even a bit. For gloopy thick texture it had, it was impossible to spend time blending every day. And the texture thickened with time. MAC is a better choice to hide acne scars, but I prefer something light for under eyes, so this does the job. I like this better than <b>Maybelline Fit Me</b>.</div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder in Candlelight</i></h4>
If I believed in love at first sight, this would ascend the list. I love everything about it: the colour, texture and longevity. This is a no-nonsense highlighter. It has warm reflect that is subtle and not sparkly or blinding. For lit from within look, this is so far the best highlighter. I like this even better than t<b>he Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer</b>.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Natio Loose Crystals in Beige</i></h4>
Another mineral foundation. This is drier than the other ones I have tried and takes a lot of buffing and blending to look natural. The undertone is a lot more beige for neutral undertone, but the difference is not noticeable. And this one at times does oxidise after a while, especially on the T-zone.<br />
Funnily, it looks patchy at times. I mix a drop of jojoba oil and tea tree oil in the moisturiser. I am not sure, if this is worth a repurchase.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Cheeks</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
The Body Shop Lip Cheek Stain in Pink Hibiscus</i></h4>
My love for cheek tint dates back to 2008. I prefer tint and creme finish to powder finish. The formula could have been better, I think. Three dots give the same blushed cheeks with 3 km run. Bad math, you got my point. I see this is going into "will always repurchase" list until I find something better.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Kryolan Cheek Tint in Petunia</i></h4>
This is already a repurchase. I called the store to check if they had the shade <b>Rose</b> in stock, it was. Two days later, I visited the store to pick it up; It was gone. Someone just took away my dream blush. Rose, a subtle mauve pink, flattering for Indian skin tones. I love how natural this looks with dewy no makeup makeup. I always end up purchasing orange coloured stuff from Kryolan. I don't know why.<br />
Probably, I will repurchase this again in a different shade?<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Eyebrows</h3>
<b>Benefit Gimme Brow Tint</b> (sample sized) and <b>NYX Micro Brow Pencil: </b>these two products sorted my life. I have almost finished the NYX brow pencil. Is it <b>Anastasia Beverly Hill's dupe</b>?<br />
Not exactly, the texture is quite dry compared to Anastasia's. Even in terms of pigmentation, NYX is nowhere near. I have been going low on the brows. Nothing too striking. Most days, it is just setting them in place with a brow gel.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Mascara</h4>

<br />
<b>Essence I love Extreme</b> has to be my favourite. I used the combination of volumising and lengthening mascaras.and lots of curling! Other mascaras that I used were <b>Essence Multi-action</b> and <b>Tarte Tarteist Mascara</b>. Tarte is better and I have one more tube to really form an opinion.<br />

Neutral Pink-Brown/Mauve dominated my 2018. These are the ones that I have used throughout with a little variation, of course. A little mixing, experimenting and creating new colours. In the first half of 2018, rose pinks dominated, and the rest half, a subdued brown with a hint of pink. I have fallen in love with TBT's colour, texture and finish. I like <b>Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint Tbt</b> better than <b>NYX Lip cream</b>. I love that mint kick too!<br />
These appear exactly the same with a slight undertone difference. <b>Tarte's TBT</b> has cool undertone while <b>NYX's Cannes</b> is warm.<br />

<b>NYX suede liner in whipped caviar</b> is definitely a MLLB. Everything that goes on it looks good.<br />
<b>Forest essential sugared rose petals lip balm</b> is a repurchase. I have been kind of missing it lately; I thought it was not worth repurchasing, but I changed my mind. Shelling out money for a lip balm that costs as an average lipstick was something I didnot reconsider. I loved it and will repurchase, because I cannot have too many lip balms, can I? đ<br />
<br />
I have a makeup/skincare hate hitlist that my contemplative state of mind would not approve.<br />

<br />
It all began on that September morning of 2013, when we (T and I) visited a beach polluted with plastic bags. We could not wait there for more than five minutes, so to speak. That was not alarming enough.<br />
<br />
On a lighter note, I found a movie ticket from 2011 in my old bag, the one I saved with a purpose. All the printed letters have disappeared, it is blank. Trash.<br />
<br />
I cannot exactly put my finger on the date it had begun, initially, it was a phase, or so I believed.<br />
I had to sort out my academic stuff, after I finished college. My life needed spring cleaning in the midst of fall. The first step in action was to give up everything I was holding onto. Half-filled journals, pretty boxes saved to store things, newspaper-magazine cutouts and things that are nothing more than a graveyard of pleasant-unpleasant memories. In a way, clutter-free, minimalistic living was what I wanted. As I sat in front of all these things, it just hit me hard with a thought that I am not the only one, who gathers things. In that brief moment, my imagination multiplied it to 10, 1000, million times. It was like growing up in a second. But I see that all my struggles, efforts have failed. I shredded all of it from an analytical perspective before I could even sum up my courage to put this in writing. I wanted this to go live on the <i><b>Earth's Day</b>, which</i> coincidentally happens to be my birthday but honestly what I was trying to put up? failure?<br />
<br />
My initial action towards a minimal and ecological lifestyle included all these measures:<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Beauty-wise</h4>
<br />
1) I gave up face scrubs way back, I almost forgot how they must feel against my skin. The beads can block gills and kill fishes.<br />
<br />
2) Recycling jars and containers to store DIY stuff.<br />
<br />
3) I stopped using cotton pads, and I bought few microfiber cloths for makeup removal to replace them. For toners, I am thinking of getting the reusable cotton pads. But for now, I am following the serum techniqueâpat, pat, pat.<br />
<br />
4) I gave up Shampoo. I did the math: shampoo and body washes' empty bottles, 6 each for 12 months on an average. I imagined my disturbing lifetime bottle trash. Hence, I switched to shampoo bars, and I am even considering making them on my own. I havenot yet figured out the body washes' alternatives yet. I cannot imagine me and bar soap together. <i>eek!</i><br />
<br />
5) Am I the only one who hates paperboard and full plastic sealed packaging?<br />
<br />
6) I do not like sheet face masks. I tried them twice. But logically, it is a serum infused sheet. Just spray-soak your face with a serum/ampoule, you'll save a sheet!<br />
<br />
7) I wish every brand start out recycling programs. I would very much prefer glass packaging for everything. Let us just forget the glass packaging as a con for once.<br />
<br />
8) No skincare wipes; no blotting papers. I had to be strict with myself for these two things. No sanitising wipes, either, which makes me feel incomplete (or germ-ridden) at times. I think I have one of each for extreme emergencies. I had given up using facial tissues back in 2011; I switched to using cotton kerchiefs.<br />
<br />
9) As insignificant as it may sound, but I have started opting for bulkier versions of bottles. So that I do not end up cluttering and adding to the landfill with 3 bottles for 3 months, when I can minimise it to one.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Stationery-wise</h4>
I hoard stationery. If I see anything fancy, I pick it up. I collect pens, needless to say I have as many as I can store. Notebooks, journals and diaries too. Currently, I have six blank, sealed ones that I do not know what I would use them for. Hoarding can get crazy at times, my life is a living proof? <i>*sigh*</i><br />
<br />
1) I reflected on the past, only to see how I have misused the mighty pen. I would go through one Pilot Hi-tech for approximately 6 essay answers. For the amount that we had to write, it is disturbing, because I disliked refilling them, as they would leak. I refill them now, and I don't care even if they leak and colour my fingers. <i>I have started liking them, ink-stained fingers! I like to assume that it makes me feel like an artist, writer, to be precise.</i><br />
<br />
2) I stopped scribbling or writing ideas on paper. I stopped journaling or making daily diary entries. I use private blogging, Evernote and Microsoft Word now.<br />
<br />
3) I cannot decide between wooden pencils and mechanical pencils. <b>FAIL</b>!<b> </b><br />
<br />
4) I do not opt for ATM receipts.<br />
<br />
5) I have stopped using post-its for trivial things. I use reminders on the phone instead.<br />
<br />
6) For all things related to writing, I cannot find easy alternatives. I simply write using pencil and erase and reuse the paper.<br />
<br />
7) Ebook is such a heavy-heart choice for printed word lovers. I try my best, to avoid "<i>that" </i>fancy limited cover page edition.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Lifestyle-wise</h4>
1) Sanitary napkins, No, thank you! There are eco-friendly alternatives to suit every woman.<br />
<br />
2) Water bottles. <strike><b>FAIL</b>.</strike> Glass bottles/metal bottles turn out too heavy to carry (I only use glass bottles now).<br />
<br />
3) I have killed my desire to get those PVC neon bags for the monsoon. No PVC anything.<br />
<br />
4) For all that is perishable, compost for the plants.<br />
<br />
5) I plant my own herbs.<br />
<br />
6) Vegan ways for ecological balance.<br />
<br />
7) No more food-coffee takeaways. <b>Major FAIL</b>!<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Why did I fail?</h4>
1) I cannot stop my lazy self from buying things online to save time and effort, which has its own ecological disadvantages: packaging, airbags and plastic packaging.<br />
<br />
2) Some days, I consciously contribute to non-ecofriendly ways like an old habit.<br />
<br />
3) Some days minimalistic approaches do not seem to work. And there is so much more than I think I should be doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
On the brightest side, I have turned into this secretly unapologetic eco-spiritual woman on a mission.<br />
There are days, I drift away and seriously fail to adhere to any one mentioned thing. <i>Takeaway coffee.</i> I think I should give it up.<br />
<br />

Dusty Mauve: this colour has to be my current fixation!<br />

<br />
I think, I accidentally ordered <i>Rose Dawson</i> instead of <i>Holly Golightly</i>. <i>Holly</i> is one of my favourite literary characters. I don't even remember who I had on my mind, <i>Holly </i>or<i> Rose. </i>I have had this crayon for quite sometime now, but the colour was not my preference then. It turned out brighter than I anticipated. I like the fact that the undertone makes my grey contacts look blue. As funny as it may seem, it is summer and I always turn towards my brights. <i>*wink*</i><br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Colour</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Look at that bullet, it looks mauve-brown-pink, quite subdued and subtle. On swatching, it turned out quite bright. The undertone is neutral, and it does look warm outdoors and cool indoors. On my neutral undertone, it shifts with the light I am in. If the colour naming resembles Kate Winselet's Lipstick in Titanic, it is nowhere close to being a brown that leans orange, like her ginger hair.</div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Texture</i></h4>
This sets into powder-matte finish and is quite drying. Doubtlessly, this one goes well on well-prepped and hydrated lips. For desert dry lips, a heavy duty balm underneath will save them. For the kind of restless talker I am, this one moves quite a lot and then mysteriously disappears, where? I have no clue. Maybe, the heavy lip balm underneath eats it :D<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>
Longevity</i></h4>
Quite average. I have been wearing this to work, and I believe in keeping myself hydrated. It does transfer a lot on drinking. No wonder, the mouth of my water bottles have lipstick stains/residue. Like all other lipsticks, I blot this too and layer to prolong the longevity. To add, it does settle into the lines, which is only thing I dislike about powder mattes.<br />

The only way I can make red lipstick work for me is by bronzing and using a corrector to out the pink in my skin. Red is never an effortless colour for me. I love clean, minimal base, lots of mascara and red lipstick. Red lipsticks with blue undertone bring out the golden-brown hues in my eyes.</div>

L.A.Colors Pout Lipgloss Matte in Lusty</h3>
<div>
I am in love with the texture and everything about this, and the fact that this is for $1. The staying power is amazing, and it does not come off in patches (unless you eat something fried). I bought all 11 shades from ShopMissA, boy! I'm glad. Lusty is true red with neutral undertone. I am wearing this in the GIF. Also, I was testing <b>The Ordinary Coverage Foundation</b> and all the new makeup I received. This one is my favourite of these three.<br />

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Amsterdam</h3>
<div>
I adore the texture of soft matte lip creams. Amsterdam was a part of a set; the undertone is yellow, and the red leans more on the red-orange spectrum. I don't know how exactly I feel about this kind (warm undertone) of red. I wear reds with reds or whites exclusively. Nothing more nothing less sort of thing for me. This does bring out yellow in my skin tone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Essence XXXL Longlasting Lipgloss Matt Effect in Silky Red</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;">This is a warm red with orange undertone. The undertones of my face and body are different and hence the colour shows up differently on both. Check out the difference in swatches <b><u><i><a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2015/10/essence-xxxl-longlasting-lipgloss-matt.html" target="_blank">here</a>,</i></u></b> but I definitely don't like this one, for it just slips away. The only way to make this work is to blot and reapply!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
This gif is made out of an accidental video. I accidentally turned on video mode and got occupied in clicking pictures on phone. Cropped out from whole seven minutes. I have more reds with more or less with orange undertones. I need a red with blue undertone. Ruby Woo is all I think of, but I need a cruelty-free option, Milani maybe. Ooooh! And that purchase will be celebrated. ;-)</div>

<b><i>I have been feeling a shift lately.</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
From metaphysics to astrophysics; I want to read non-fiction something that I never do, well except for theories.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the shift, I don't feel like wearing makeup anymore. I received all my December makeup purchases from Cultbeauty in the first week of January. And ever since, I am working on finishing up all the half-filled skincare bottles. I want to keep what really works, and I am switching back to being a minimalist. I experimented with layering skincare in the second half of 2017, and I am concluding that it does not work for me. So I already switched back to my simple skincare routine this time although with acids.<br />
I should be working on a current skincare routine post soon.<br />
<br />
I am restricting buying makeup for now, but I deserve a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick for Valentine's! So many of my liquid lipsticks are still sealed, and none of my pan makeup even has a slight dent in it. To add to it, I don't even feel like doing a full glam makeup anymore (this shifting lack of enthusiasm scares me).<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are four things that I am resolute to work on:<br />
<br />
<b>Skincare</b>: When I am focussing on the academics, I ignore everything else, I can't sleep nor eat. And this starts affecting the under eyes and hydration. I am hopefully going to adhere to a minimal skincare routine to keep dehydration and dryness at bay. Exfoliating with acids because scrubs break me out, sensitivity!<br />
<br />
<b>Long hair and bangs</b>: I look at my pictures from college days and 2015; I want to ignore the consequences and get bangs. I am growing my hair long and <i>I don't know.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Red lipstick</b>: I can wear soft wing eyeliner and red lipstick all my life without being bored is an overstatement, but red lipstick washes me out, with *no amount of bronzer ever will paint the paleness* kind of paleness. And then my face, neck and chest turn out in three different colours. Well, I'll just admit I look like a clown. w.h.a.t.e.v.e.r.<br />
<br />
<b>Painting my nails: </b>I always paint my nails either red or mint, and if I am in a mood for something bright, I settle down on neon pink. Changing nail colours every five days is what I have in my mind at the moment. I need to experiment with other colours! I mean.<br />
<br />
I've never been a great blog post planner; I will let 2018 amaze me!<br />

<br />
<br />
I had a phase while transitioning into using cruelty-free products, where I wanted to quit. Because there were not many certified cruelty-free brands available in India. There were a lot of cruelty-free and vegan skincare and haircare options available but makeup wasn't easy. But now they can be accessed on various ecommerce websites. Though the prices are not exactly "drugstore", you can always get them on discount.<br />
<br />
I have compiled few certified cruelty-free brands that are available online in India. Sephora NNNow holds high-end brands such as Smashbox and Becca, while all drugstore brands are available on Amazon, Nykaa, Jabong and Purplle. I will be also listing down the availability of these brands on various websites. I have narrowed down all the cruelty-free, vegan makeup brands that are available online. I will be compiling different brand lists categorising them into skincare, haircare, makeup and skincare tools and offline brands available in India.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Ardell</h3>
Ardell is well known for their lashes. Though they've led off with their makeup line recently. The brand offers various styles of lashes for every ocassion. Demi Wispies are cult favourite!<br />
Ardell is certified cruelty-free by PETA.<br />
Available on Amazon, Nykaa, Jabong, Snapdeal, Flipkart.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Australis</h3>
When Australis was launched online in India, the first thing I wanted to do was purchase face and body tint. But upon reading, I concluded that it is nowhere near being similar to MAC Face and Body Foundation.<br />
Australis is certified by Choose Crueltyfree.<br />
Available on Amazon, Nykaa, Jabong, Flipkart, Snapdeal and HOKMakeup.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Beauty Blender</h3>
I cannot imagine my makeup life without an orginal beauty blender! Set aside all those dupes and similar sponges, nothing compares this little squishy tool. Shopmissa's Wonder blender is by far the closest dupe. Beauty Blender is sold in China and is categorised as makeup tool and hence does not require animal testing.<br />
Beauty Blender is 100% vegan.<br />
Available online in India though there is no authenticity guarantee (unless stated). You can get it on Camera Ready Cosmetics, Beauty Bay and Cultbeauty; these websites offer worldwide shipping.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Becca</h3>
<div>
Becca is available online on <i>sephora.nnnow.com </i>exclusively in India. Becca is acquired by Estee Lauder, but the brand remains cruelty-free.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Ciate London</h3>
I heaved a sigh of relief when Ciate London was launched in India. I was distraught with unavailability of cruelty-free nail polishes in India. But then I already have the Ciate Advent Calender 2016. Their makeup line looks amazing and fun. Some of their products are 100% vegan.<br />
Ciate London is PETA certified.<br />
Available online on Amazon and Nykaa.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Catrice</h3>
I am fancying some good drugstore makeup and Catrice is on the list. Few select products are available online in India, but I believe it was launched in India? I don't know.<br />
The brand belongs to Cosnova and most of their products are vegan.<br />
Available online on Amazon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Essence</h3>
I vividly remember concluding Essence cosmetics as non-cruelty-free. But upon in-depth reading, the parent company, Cosnova, although not certified by any organisation, is considered cruelty-free.<br />
Some products are 100% vegan.<br />
Available online on Amazon, Nykaa, Purplle.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
IsaDora</h3>
A Swedish makeup brand that is affordable, but it is not quite cheap and cheerful in India.<br />
IsaDora is certified cruelty-free by PETA.<br />
Available on Amazon, Nykaa and Shoppersstop.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Lottie London</h3>
The packaging is bomb.com! I am in love with their packaging, and I am hoping to see their makeup line launching soon. Their duo chrome lip glosses and nail polishes are minimalistic and chic.<br />
Lottie London is PETA certified.<br />
Lottie London brushes are available online on Amazon, Nykaa, Habbana.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
LA Colors and LA Girl</h3>
Both these brands belong to Beauty 21 Cosmetics Inc. Take my word, LA girl Pro HD Foundation is incredible and so are their concealers. Both these brands are certified cruelty-free by PETA.<br />
Almost all the products are available online on Amazon, Nykaa, HOK Makeup, Habbana and Purplle.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
LA Splash</h3>
LA Splash belongs to Jon Davler Inc. or IONI Cosmetics. The products are glutenfree and some of them are 100% vegan.<br />
LA Splash holds PETA certification.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Iba Halal</h3>
Iba Care is certified cruelty-free by PETA. The brand offers halal lipsticks and other makeup products. The lipsticks are inexpensive for 195 INR!<br />
Not all vegan products are halal, there is a difference between both. Halal products donot contain any animal by-product and forbidden ingredients such as alcohol.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Milani</h3>
Milani is PETA and Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free! The matte lipsticks, the blushes and amore matte lipsticks are hit. Some of their products are vegan.<br />
Available on Amazon and Nykaa.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Natio</h3>
Natio is certified cruelty-free by Choose Crueltyfree. Natio is sold in China exclusively online which does not require animal testing. You can read an indepth post on the brands statement here.<br />
Natio offers both skincare and colour cosmetics.<br />
Available on Amazon, Nykaa and Sephora NNNow.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Inglot</h3>
Inglot is the brand that goes unnoticed in competition to MAC. But I believe the quality is quite similar to MAC. If only their foundations and shades weren't so confusing. Inglot is available in select cities, but it can be purchased on Nykaa and Majorbrands.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
The Body Shop</h3>
I am a fan of neither their skincare nor makeup, but I am just glad they are cruelty-free. The Body Shop holds cruelty-free certification by PETA.<br />
Available on all leading websites, Nykaa and thebodyshop.in<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Smashbox</h3>
Smashbox is PETA certified cruelty-free. Estee Lauder is the parent company and conducts animal testings. Smashbox entered the Chinese market but pulled out immediately. As of now, the brand is not sold in Mainland China, which requires animal testing.<br />
Smashbox is available on Nykaa and Sephora NNNow.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
the Balm</h3>
I always thought the Balm is certified cruelty-free but I was wrong. It is not sold in Mainland China, and most of their products are vegan. phew!<br />
Available on Nykaa.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Zuii Organics</h3>
An Australian brand I came across when I was looking at organic brands. What caught my attention was that their products are made from flower extracts and plants. Imagine a lipstick made from flowers extracts! Though I am yet to try their line, the pricing is holding me back. The products are certified vegan by The Vegan Society, and the cruelty-free certification is provided by Choose Crueltyfree.<br />
Available on Nykaa and Amazon.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Wet n Wild</h3>
The brand was launched on Nykaa on 1 December 2017. I jumped at the chance and placed two orders. Currently, I am testing them and am so glad the brand is now available in India.<br />
Wet n Wild is certified by PETA and Leaping Bunny (read their status update here).<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
NYX</h3>
NYX has been a cult favourite with their soft matte lip creams. NYX is owned by L'oreal, but the brands is cruelty-free and certified by PETA.<br />
NYX is available on Amazon and Nykaa.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of these brands are certified cruelty-free by PETA. Other brands that claim to be cruelty-free, such as MUA, Freedom London, Makeup Obsession and I <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">âĽ</span> Makeup, and are owned by Tam Beauty are not certified.<br />
Indian brands such as Lotus Herbals, Sugar Cosmetics, Seasoul and LYN are not certified cruelty-free, but they claim that their products are not tested on animals. I am awaiting replies from Lotus Herbals and Seasoul.<br />
I am drafting an in-depth post on cruelty-free standards by the organisations such as PETA, CCF and Leaping Bunny. </div>

I was looking for a photo-friendly foundation, and my search ended with Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation in the shade <b><i>Amber Beige</i></b>. But when I received it, the shade was a tad darker than I anticipated. My skin tone if described would appropriately be <i style="font-weight: bold;">Medium Tan Neutral</i>. I have <b>Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation</b> in the same colour, and it is a good match in summer and is completely undetectable on my skin. Though <b>Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation</b> in Classic Beige is described as <i style="font-weight: bold;">Medium Tan Neutral</i> on the website. I thought probably going a shade darker would be a good choice; I was wrong!<br />

Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation in classic beige is a decent match for me when I am not tanned (update: this did not oxidise on me for a few uses, but now after being exposed to light and air, it does oxidise on unprimed skin). Amber Beige has a bit of red undertone to it which brings out my redness and looks darker than my neck and chest. I prefer mixing classic beige and amber beige in 2:1 when I acquire a bit of tan. I am not sure of my shade in MAC studio fix, but <b>MAC Master Match Foundation in 5.0 </b>is almost a good match. I have looked up and have watched videos for all the medium/tan shades to make the guesswork for the shade that would be my closest match. I will be mentioning MAC equivalents of Wet n Wild Photo Focus shades for Indian skin tones.</div>

<b>Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation</b> is now available in India exclusively on Nykaa. I purchased classic beige and amber beige on Beautdor for 850 and 600 INR, respectively. And I am glad the price point on Nykaa is decent and retails for 599 INR.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Why I picked Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation?</h3>
<div>
A drugstore foundation which is vegan, gluten-free and fragrance free Also sulphate, paraben and oil free. Wet N Wild is cruelty-free and is certified by PETA and Leaping Bunny.</div>

The fact that I would find my perfect match for $5.99 or 599 INR left me exhilarated. Although I am unsure of my match in MAC, I had got shade matched in Lancome. I am in shade 03 for Lancome Miracle Air De Teint (leans more warm on me).</div>
</div>
<div>
I have neutral undertone which was evident only after brainstorming research. I used warm under-toned foundations and always wondered why my skin tone looked muddy.</div>
<div>
The shade classic beige oxidises on me and looks better than amber beige which shows up a bit too red on my skin. The picture below is quite evident; it is stark in person.</div>

Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation Review</h3>
<div>
First of all, I am in love with the light-weight texture. If blended well with a beauty blender or makeup sponge, it is does look and feel weightless. Though Wet N Wild claims that the foundation is fragrance-free, it does have a slight paint smell to it. </div>
<div>
The consistency is medium, and it blends effortlessly on primed skin. I did test this foundation with and without primer, and it works best with a primer underneath. Without primer, it does cling to dry patches and accentuates them. The coverage is light to medium and is buildable upto full coverage as per the claims but honestly I prefer just one layer for photography. I did apply three layers and it accentuated my non-existent pores and clung onto my peach fuzz. I am guessing it would accentuate texture? probably!</div>
<div>
A single layer evens out the skin tone and conceals the fading blemishes and scars but fails to cover fresh acne scars.</div>
<div>
I dislike setting this foundation with setting powders that I own. But finishing with the <b>Hourglass Ambient Light Powder in Diffused</b> adds such an ethereal glow. I am waiting to receive the Photo Focus Powder and Concealer I ordered from Nykaa.</div>
<div>
The finish of the foundation is a cross between satin and matte. It makes the skin appear flawless in daylight and soft flash photography.</div>
<div>
It does oxidise on me, and the only way I know to fix it is to use a brightening powder. It did not break me out. I prefer this foundation for quick makeup because it blends in effortlessly. Lately, my skin has been drier than usual. In the pictures below, I am wearing the foundation without primer and setting powder.</div>

I love how it looks in natural light, but it looks more flawless in person than in pictures. Silica is the reason why it blurs out all the imperfections. I have both warm white and cool white lights installed in my room, and I find that it does flash back under cool daylight. </div>
<div>
<b><i>Amber beige</i></b> flashes back slightly pink due to its red undertone.</div>

The camera flash is quite harsh and it did accentuated the dry patches on my nose. Also all my flaws including facial hair/peach fuzz. But then I had been sitting quite close to the camera.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, I am quite impressed with the texture, finish and how flawless it does make my skin look!</div>
<div>
It did not oxidise (one at first, but now when the bottle has been exposed to light and air, it does oxidise on me). Although, the finger marks on those black shiny caps trigger my O.C.D, I am in love with everything else it has to offer. </div>

<br />
<br />
Few years back, I switched to using shampoos devoid of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulphate (SLES), and that has made a world of difference between how my hair felt before and after. Thin hair runs in the genes, so I had to look out for products, methods and techniques to maintain the texture and volume of my hair.<br />
<br />
<br />
The five benefits I noticed after switching to SLS free shampoo: <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>bouncier hair </li>
<li>no clogged pores and acne due to silicones in shampoo and conditioner </li>
<li>less amount required </li>
<li>squeaky clean scalp </li>
<li>no stripping off of natural oils. </li>
</ul>
Here are <strike>six</strike> five cruelty-free, SLS-free, SLES- and paraben-free shampoos I have curated:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
The Nature's Co Shampoos</h4>
The Nature's Co is PETA certified cruelty-free and contains natural ingredients. The surfactant used is derived from coconut. You can read more <a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2015/11/the-natures-co-nori-hair-cleanser.html">here</a>. I have used Nori Hair cleanser; you can read an in-depth post <a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2015/11/the-natures-co-nori-hair-cleanser.html?m=1">here</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The other variants available are as follows:<br />
Barley Volumising Hair Cleanser<br />
Apple-Guava Hair Cleanser<br />
Marigold Hair Cleanser<br />
Watercress Hair Cleanser<br />
Sandalwood Hair Cleanser and Conditioner<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Lush Shampoos and Bars</h4>
The news of Lush relaunching in India circulated when they had completely shut down. I wonder what happened to that! Lush Shampoos contain gentle surfactants such as ammonium laureth sulphate (ALS) and sodium alkyl sulfate. Lush claims that their shampoo bars are for people with sensitive scalp. Sigh! I want Ro's Argan and Jason and the Argan oil!</div>
<div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo and Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Conditioner</h4>
These are the most amazing, refreshing shampoo and conditioner I have used ever. A soft, mild scent yet refreshing; these both left my hair feeling extremely soft. I wish these were available at Sephora India. Their shampoo and conditioner are silicone-free too.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Himalaya Daily Shampoo</h4>
I never repurchased this after 2012, I honestly felt the ingredient list was incomplete. This does contain same surfactant base (ALS) as Lush. I did try their protein shampoo and felt that it did make my hair feel a bit thicker to touch. This is by far the cheapest SLS-free shampoo available in India.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Soulflower Shampoo Bars</h4>
Rosemary and Lavender Shampoo bar is my favourite. I always stock up on the mentioned variant. Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo bar dries out my hair and scalp, and Let your Hair down shampoo makes my hair greasy pretty quickly. I have a criterion for liking shampoos: two days down and no grease; a keeper!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Kama Ayurveda Shampoos*</h4>
Update: The second ingredient on the list is SLES. <i>Although it is SLS-free, it is not SLES-free.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

</div>
I have been wearing glasses since I was 11, and glasses weren't stylish back then. I shied away from wearing them and switched to contacts as soon as my ophthalmologist recommended them. I never preferred glasses unless it was a necessity where makeup was out of the question and eye makeup was not even a choice!<br />
<br />
I prefer wearing glasses these days and coordinating my makeup and clothing.<i> Just these <b>geeky nerdy glasses</b>.</i><br />
<br />
I never found an eyewear that fits right or looks good on my small face. I am much amused to pair bold brows with glasses. To be honest, this isn't the usual nerdy; this is just a basic wayfarer frame, the smallest I could hunt down.<br />
<br />
<b>Anastasia Beverly Hills' Dip Brow Pomade</b> has me spaced out, and I tend to go overboard a lot! I am just wearing the <b><i>Brow Pomade</i></b> here in these pictures. I have asymmetrical brows; one is arched and thick and another is straight and sparse.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
I took pictures of two looks I wear often, mostly in hurry. <b>Bold brows</b>, <b>nerdy glasses</b> and <b>no-makeup makeup</b> & bold brows paired with <b>coordinated cheeks and lips</b>. I abstained from wearing extremely bold opaque lipstick.<br />

All I did was fill in the blanks using dip brow pomade.<br />
<br />
In the picture above, I am wearing <b>Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation</b> mixed with <b>The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser</b>. I did set my T-zone with <b>Kryolan Translucent Powder</b> and bronzed-up my skin using <b><a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2016/05/physicians-formula-city-glow-daily.html" target="_blank">Physicians Formula Bronzer</a></b>. For lips, I smeared <b>Maybelline Lip Polish in Glam 7</b> to add a diffused coral warmth. I did skip blush and eye makeup except for mascara.<br />
<div>
<br />
And lots of curling!<br />
<br />
For hair, I did half up and half down and secured them with bobby pins.<br />

<b>Stripes and bright lips</b> is one of my favourite combinations. Because I'd never wear red lipstick with solid black shirt. <i>Never. Don't even ask me why?!</i><br />
<br />
I have used a tinted lip balm instead of full blown opaque colour since I bronzed my cheeks and temples. For base, I am wearing a combination of <b>MAC Matchmaster</b> and <b>Bourjous Healthy Mix Serum</b> for medium coverage. I generously bronzed my side face in shape of three, added a little bronzer in the crease as well. I applied mascara after lots of eyelash curling!<br />
<div>
For cheeks and lips, I used the same product (shea butter + almond oil + <b>Sleek Lip paint in Pinkini)</b>.<br />
I have used this as lip and cheek tint, blending on the apples of my cheeks using a Beauty Blender. Precisely, I wanted diffused pink on the cheeks. I love wearing lipstick as blush<b><i>.</i></b><br />

<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
I am listing my five favourite makeup tips and tricks for women who wear glasses:<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Light coverage to avoid spectacle marks</h4>
I prefer light coverage foundation, and I cannot bear the layersâprimer, foundation, concealerâunless I am taking photographs. In real, I prefer looking even instead of camouflaged. If you want to add coverage, adding a long wearing primer (and using eyeshadow primer on the bridge where glasses rest) and pressing the foundation into the skin works. Make sure to set your foundation and concealer in place before wearing glasses.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Brighten the under-eyes and add mascara</h4>
Eyes appear smaller through glasses. I make sure to curl my eyelashes at least twice before adding a layer or two of mascara. Do not build too much, as it can lead to streaks and smudges on glasseâskip lengthening mascara and switch to volumising one. I skip eyeliner altogether and tight line if need be or use an eyeshadow to elongate the shape of my eyes. Do not forget to brighten your under-eyes with illuminating concealer or finishing powder.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Subtle lips vs bold lips</h4>
I never experimented pairing bold lips with glasses. Perhaps, I am too meek to pair them and effortlessly carry it off. I would prefer subtly coloured lips for a natural look or bright tinted balms and glosses (blotted) any time.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Neutral eyeshadows</h4>
I cannot wear glittery sparkly colours on my eyelids when I am wearing glasses. Glasses and glittery eye makeup just throws me off balance; I mean that is not for me. All I do is prime my eyelids to even out the discolouration and add bronzer in the crease.<br />
<div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Bold, bolder, boldest</h4>
Now this is not the kind of drawing I prefer. I keep my shape natural and asymmetrical and draw on strokes with pomade or pencil, creating thin strokes of hair, mimicking the natural ones. Perfectly done symmetrical brows somehow look unnatural to me. At times I set my brows using just clear brow gel, or soap for hold, but most days pomade or pencil works just fine!<br />

Sebamed is a pharmaceutical brand which once was Leaping Bunny certified. And then lost their certification when it started selling in China.<br />
Perhaps a misstatement must have been floating around in some of my posts that Sebamed is cruelty-free. And I purchased few products to try under the same pretext. Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Bar and Clear Face Cleansing Foam works amazing for my acne vulgaris. Though a little drying on my combination skin.<br />
But I did read that Sebamed is Cruelty-free. I was convinced until I read their FAQs.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Are Sebamed Products Vegan?</h4>
Sebamed products do not consist animal-derived ingredients. Except for Sebamed Visio Gentle Toner and Sebamed Hand & Nail Balsam.<br />
Sebamed Visio Gentle Toner contains hydrolyzed silk that is derived from silkworm cocoons. And Sebamed Hand & Nail Balsam has hydrolyzed keratin which is derived from sheep.<br />
<br />
<b>Beeswax</b> is used in the listed products:<br />
<br />
Sebamed Healing & Protection Cream<br />
Sebamed Lip Defense SPF 30<br />
Sebamed Baby Diaper Rash CreamSebamed Extreme Dry Skin 10% Urea Repair Lotion<br />
All Sebamed Soap Free Cleansers<br />
<br />
Sebamed is vocal about their regulations they follow and does not brand themselves as 'Cruelty-free'.<br />
Animal testing is not involved in the manufacturing process of the products. But they are unsure of the ingredients and their testing on animals and hence no relevant statement could be provided. The manufacturing process follows the German Cosmetics Regulation which has banned finished products test on animals.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Sebamed sells in China</h4>

I have not discarded a single empty container since November 2016. I was knee-deep in work. My vanity is cluttered, so much so that it irks me to a point where I want to throw away everything I no longer find useful. I am determined to discard or giveaway non-cruelty free products. To top it all, I went ahead and selected few products to finish by 30th June.<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Lotus Herbals Safe Sun UV Screen Matte Gel SPF 50</h4>
<div>
I purchased this believing this could be used as a gel-based primer. I'm mistaken. This gel would just consume my moisturiser and within an hour, I would end up with a stretchy feeling. My powder foundation would turn blotchy with this underneath. It would peel and flake and come off easily on with sweat.</div>
<div>
The only good thing, it does not cause sweating.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Lotus Herbals Safe Sun UV Screen Matte Gel SPF 50 Price: INR 395<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
The Body Shop Drops Of Light Brightening Cleansing Foam</h4>
<div>
I loved using this in the mornings mostly. But I don't think so it is worth 1500! There are so many affordable alternatives. And how long does a cleanser stay on, a minute? <a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2017/04/cruelty-free-skincare-body-shop-drops.html" target="_blank">Read my thoughts here</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Bath and Body Works Cherry Blossom Fine Fragrance Mist</h4>
<div>
Too sweet for my liking. On me, it bloomed sweet than floral. On my mom, it would bloom sweet floral. Does not remind me of spring at all. The staying power can be prolonged by using a fragrance-free moisturizer underneath.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Bath and Body Works Cherry Blossom Fine Fragrance Mist Price is $14.00 for 8 fl oz / 236 mL.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Colorbar Single Eyeshadow in 10 Black Tie</h4>
<div>
This is from the year I acknowledged makeup as my interest. This is one of the few eyeshadows I bought while building my makeup collection. I could not use this much, black eyeshadow with silver glitter flecks; <i>god! What was I thinking?!</i></div>
<div>
Oh! Another good reason, to toss this out, I am kissing goodbye to all my non-cruelty-free makeup products.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This eyeshadow, by the way, is discontinued.<br />
<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Maybelline Color Tattoo in Audacious Asphalt and Painted Purple</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
The fixation of buying newly launched products didn't quite develop in me or so I think. I didn't find any much use for these colourful shadows for my everyday makeup. I barely wore full-faced makeup anyway. I used them only in Spring. You can check out my spring makeup tutorial to see Painted Purple looks on brown eyes.</div>
<div>
I wish they'd launched matte, neutral dark brown colour which could also be used as eyebrow pomade and eyeliner and eyeshadow, of course.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybelline Color Tattoo is discontinued in India.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Suncote Gel SPF 30</h4>
<div>
This one is prescribed by my dermatologist for hyperpigmentation. In 2014, I noticed shadowy darkness on the outer parts of my face. On consultation, it was darkening due to the sun. I was using Lotus Herbals Safe Sun 3-in-1 Matte Look Daily Sunblock SPF 40. It was my holy grail only until I discovered that it lacks the sun protection I need.</div>
<div>
Suncote Gel is a bit sticky but works great as a makeup primer. Sadly, it does not sit well with my powder foundations and mineral foundations. It does not flake or peel and is sweat proof, if wore without makeup. I conclude this is the best sunscreen for oily skin.</div>
<div>
I'd repurchase if I could get high SPF, so I don't have to reapply every hour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Suncote Gel SPF 30 Price INR 355 for 100 grams</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
VLCC Sun Defense Matte Look Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 | PA+++*</h4>
<div>
I was quite excited to try this since it has a slight tint to it. It smells like pineapples dipped in cherry-flavoured expectorant. <i>Can you imagine?</i> I cannot tolerate the fragrance to be honest. When I tested this for the first time, I slathered it all on exposed parts. As soon as I stepped out in sun, I started sweating profusely. To my horror, it melted down in sun. That was one embarrassing situation for me until I cleaned all of it and ended up with sunburn (I was out in the afternoon).</div>
<div>
I don't recommend this bummer in a bottle.</div>
<div>

</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Victoria's Secret Lost in Fantasy Body Mist</h4>
<div>
I loved it even though it was quite fruity on me. For once, I enjoyed the sweet notes of passionfruit.</div>
<div>
But boy! I was a failure in panning this, it took me two years to finish this off. I'd use this on and off.</div>
<div>
I love the refreshing fragrance, reminds me of beaches and pineapples. The colour blue reminds me of Andamans. This could be weird, but this blooms with sweat that makes it perfect for the humid climate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
NYX Retractable Eyeliner in White</h4>
<div>
I purchased this to create neon wing eyeliner using my Sleek Acid palette. I could not find this on any of Indian e-commerce websites. NYX is cruelty-free. This is unusable and has passed its PAO date.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Dermalogica Total Eyecare SPF 15</h4>
<div>
This was a part of the kit. I did not review this then was because I wanted to give it some time to consider if I like it. It fails to sink in and moves my concealer. I tried incorporating it in my evening skincare routine, and it did nothing. No noticeable difference in hydration. I hope there is a better eye cream from Dermalogica.</div>
<div>
Dermalogica is cruelty-free!<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
NYX Eyeshadow Base in White</h4>
<div>
I don't remember where I bought this from, but there is barely any dent on the surface. I also have NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk which performs much better as an eyeshadow base. NYX Eyeshadow Base in White blends easily but goes on extremely sheer, and the white pigment settles in the fine lines on my eyelids. It did not at all enhance my eyeshadow. I never prefered it except few times when I couldn't find my other eyshadow bases. Concealer works much better as a matter of fact.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
NYX Eyshadow Base in White is available on Nykaa and Amazon for INR 725.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Large Stippling Brush from Coastal Scents 22 Piece Brush Kit</h4>
Coastal Scents brush kits are probably good for starting out. Some of them are unusable, but face brushes are better in my honest opinion. This was one of my favourite brushes, and I used it almost daily to buff my foundation. Using this as a stippling brush was my way to achieve sheerest coverage ever: just the way I like it. I am looking for a better option, a cruelty-free one; I think I found one but I need to dig deep for the brand's cruelty-free stance.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Lip balms: Maybelline Baby Lips and Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip Moisturizer SPF 15</h4>
<div>
Baby lips is 50% used, and Neutrogena is all scraped out. I quite like the Norwegian formula!</div>
<div>
The best sun protection for lips ever. I seem to repurchase it in spite of the ban, thats how much I like it. I used this up in merely three months! And I did not repurchase, instead, I purchased Sebamed Lip Defense, but that is not cruelty-free either. I am lost here; I need a lip balm that is cruelty-free, has SPF 30 and is not tinted! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Sent by brand for consideration<br />

I purchased this with a curiosity. What surfactant must be used in the formulation? Will this be my Holy Grail Shampoo which is not tested on animals and does not contain animal derived ingredients?<br />
Here is my in-depth analysis on the ingredients. I was excited when I bought this to add to my List of Cruelty free and vegan shampoos.<br />
<br />
Organic Harvest claims to use organic and chemical free ingredients. The products made without Parabens, Artifical colourants and animal derived ingredients. The packaging is minimal, almost ordinary.<br />
<br />

How I use Organic Harvest Daily Shampoo?</h4>
When I first opened the bottle, the liquid with its colour and fragrance reminded me of sugarcane juice. Every time I used it, I wanted to glug down a tall glass of sugarcane juice. The image of sugarcane juice would not leave me alone.<br />
So the first thing I did was looked up the ingredients and researched on them.<br />
I have wasted, a lot of it by using it in exceeding amount. For three weeks I could not decipher the amount that should be used, a lot of it was wasted and lost a lot of hair every time I shampooed. In the hope of that squeaky clean feeling!<br />
But one fine day, I used just a pump and voila there was zero hair fall while shampooing. It is as mild as Baby shampoo. All you need is just one pump for normal-oily hair and two if you have oiled them. My essential oil hair rinses work well with the shampoo. I love the volume I achieve when I use this.<br />
To put the whole review in one sentence, OH Daily Shampoo is the best vegan and cruelty free alternative to SLS based shampoos.<br />
My mother who colours and touch ups her hair every 45 days and thinks that her colour lasts longer.<br />
Mostly, her curly hair is more manageable and frizz free.<br />
I miss the slip while massaging this onto my scalp. That is the only thing I dislike about this shampoo. And missing Ingredients list too!<br />
<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<br />Organic Harvest Ingredients Analysis</h4>
When I could not get the sugarcane juice out of my head, I looked up at the key ingredients mentioned on the bottle. <b>Certified Organic Decyl Glucoside, </b>Glucoside was all I needed.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li> Aqua</li>
<li>Decyl Glucoside is plant derived and biodegradable, derived from corn and cane sugar.</li>
<li>Sodium PCA is a humectant; Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (hydrating agent) additionally functions as skin replenishing agent.</li>
</ul>
And the key ingredients list comes to an end. Incomplete ingredients,<i> I don't like them! </i><br />
Organic Harvest does not forget to mention that the Shampoo is Paraben free, Phthalates free, Mineral Oil free, PABAfree, Petrolatum free, Paraffin-free and free of animal ingredients.<br />
And not to forget not tested on animals, not even the raw materials used. The ingredients used in the formulation are USDA-certified organic ingredients as well as Eco-certified ingredients.<br />
<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<br />Efficacy</h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Chemical free shampoo? Sulfate free shampoo?</li>
<li>I love the body my fine hair has achieved. </li>
<li>My scalp does not turn oily until 3rd or 4th day.</li>
<li>I can get away with diluting the shampoo for the mildest scalp cleansing.</li>
<li>I have used 450 ml in 7 months. I am left with few more washes.</li>
<li>If you dislike the fragrance, you can add essential oils to improve its efficacy.</li>
</ul>
I don't think I have any reason except the missing Ingredient list. My mother thinks this is <span class="spgb-e">the best sulfate free shampoo for colour treated hair. I think this is probably the best chemical free shampoo for thin and fine hair.</span><br />
<br />

In my mind, I have glorified the gold. I want to stockpile all the gold eye shadows that I fancy at sight. The hues<i><i> </i></i>of <i>gold, champagne, golden bronze, soft gold, dusty gold, golden beige...</i><br />
And corals, as much as I love the combination I always end up pairing. Coral eye shadows are tricky and I am picky and certain.<br />
Yes, I want the <u><b>Too Faced Sweet Peach</b></u> in spite of its mediocrity and the Too Faced fall collection 2017 <u><b>Just Peachy </b></u>tops my wishlist. Enough said.<br />

While browsing, I came across this Foursome super shock eye shadows and all I could do was daydream of the makeup looks I could create. Reality check, I wore these only twice this spring/summer: two different looks. I am planning to recreate both. Currently, Colourpop Cosmetics is offering free worldwide shipping.<br />

Colourpop Peachy Keen Foursome includes 4 warm-toned neutrals. Colour wise, they are well contrasted and undertone wise quite well coordinated. These colours are best suited for light to medium skin tones. Kennedy is quite a pastel on Olive/Tan skin tones, I am assuming it would be a bit more whitish on deeper skin tones.<br />

Texture & Longevity</h4>
<br />
The tactile texture, to me, feels like moss. (Imagine the cleaner, greener, please.) If you've ever studied moss as a course or curiosity, you'll understand. How plush and cushiony it is to touch and at the same time not much, if you exert a little pressure to the touch, it'll lay bare its soothing dampness.<br />
<br />
The staying power is unrealistic, stays on until I am ready to wash off my makeup- say 8-9 hours. That's how long I've let it stay on my lids, but you need a heavy duty oil balm or cleanser to take it off. The metallic and the ultra metallic shades crease on my eyelids. But if I am indoors and wearing Urban Decay original eyeshadow primer underneath, it doesn't budge at all, forget creasing. 9 of 10 times I skip primer since I am always short of time while doing the whole glam face.<br />
Did I even mention NO FALLOUT?!<br />

<b>Cornelius</b> works as a transition shade and blends effortlessly with any synthetic blending brush. But you would need to blend & build the depth of colour at once because once it sets it turns patchy upon layering. <b>Crimper</b> can be worn as a lid colour as well as a topper and works well both the ways.<br />
<b>Kennedy</b> leans pastel on dark/olive/tan skin tones if worn with an eyeshadow primer performs much better. <b>Bandit</b> can be used to smoke out the edges and add more depth, the combination of Peach from Kennedy and the Reddish brown tint of Bandit creates quite a magical colour combination. All these colours are unique and co-ordinated at once, so many eye makeup looks can be created with just these foursomes.<br />
<br />
With Kennedy being more plush and cushiony or mousse-like than the others; it gets difficult to either blend or layer the pigment. At once, Kennedy is both my favourite and least favourite.<br />

Final Thoughts</h4>
<br />
Anybody who'd like to add some warm-toned neutral shades from Colourpop to their collection, can go ahead and pick this right away. I like these colours, even if I fail to wear them all at once; I use Cornelius as my transition shade whenever I use all Colourpop for eyemakeup. I have to come up with using different ways to use them before they dry and die!<br />

<br />
This is not an outrage, I love the brand for being Vegan and Cruelty-free and for their steps towards animal welfare and to add their customer care has been a cordial experience so far.<br />
This is an eye-opener post for all the makeup lovers who are planning to purchase from Colourpop Cosmetics and ship/import it in India.<br />
<br />
In January 2017, in the <strike>hope</strike> greed of acquiring more and more Colourpop super shock eyeshadows, I placed an order for 12 super shock eyeshadows. Coincidentally, the brand was giving away free 'newly launched' eyeshadow brushes. Vegan and Cruelty-Free Brushes, and I refrained from restricting myself.<br />
<br />

<br />
So I placed an order and I could not wait for it to arrive. I was wondering looking at the brushes and the pricing, really really wondering if I made the right decision by greedily adding 12 eyeshadows for the brushes. It did almost after, 15-20 days(don't remember exactly) and also arrived a shocking fact: Import Customs Duty. INR 2778/ $40 for an order worth $53.<br />
I checked again to see if it is 270 or 2778, to be really sure. My calculations were wrong!<br />
And I sat down to really check if there was no error by calculating online. Here are few websites that let you calculate the <a href="http://www.cybex.in/indian-custom-duty/default.aspx" target="_blank">import customs duty in India online and for free</a>.

And when I checked the customs bill which was stuck on the outer package, I could see $21 for three brushes and the total was calculated as $79.03 (on the surface.) But if you really calculate everything: 6 brushes and $53 worth eyeshadows, exactly 50% customs duty was charged.<br />
And even if you calculate the whole price including the free brushes, It turned around $95/6507 INR $53 eyeshadows + $42 free brushes, it does turn out less ie 1900 INR. So in fact, 50% is the new duty rate of the 'New' government.<br />

<br />
So was it worth all the hassle? Not so much!<br />
The brushes are custom made for the eyeshadows and work like a dream together. But I don't think they're worth the price tag!<br />
<br />
I'd take that as a lesson and hence I decided to shop wisely (hopefully). Spending INR 8000 for an Indie brand, No thank you!</div>

How I discovered the magical results of this serum has a back-story. You can read at the beginning of this post <a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2017/04/cruelty-free-skincare-body-shop-drops.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I never was a fan of The Body Shop skincare; I tried the Vitamin E range and Aloevera Range and bought myself some breakouts. Until now...<br />
The <span class="st"><em>Drops of Youth</em> <i>Bouncy</i> <em>Sleeping Mask</em></span> is my H-o-l-y-g-r-a-i-l! You can read my brainwork <a href="http://www.makeupdiscourse.com/2016/07/the-body-shop-drops-of-youth-bouncy.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I never gave much thought to including serums into my daily skincare routine. Iâm a minimalist and do away with a moisturizer, 9 of 10 times. Still, I am not a fan of layering skincare, anymore. I do battle dry patches and dehydrated flaky skin occasionally and adding serum into my skincare routine before makeup has helped. Here is an in-depth experience of using DOL Pure Healthy Brightening serum with Clarifying Foam wash and Brightening Day cream.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
What are Brightening Serums?</h4>
Brightening Serums usually focus on evening out the skintone as well as lightening hyperpigmentation. These are formulated with Light Reflectors which adds instant radiance on application. Kojic Acid, Vitamin C or Arbutin tops the ingredient lists which reduces spots and mildly exfoliates.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Texture and Efficacy</h4>
The Body Shop Drops of Light Brightening Serum is light and runny. It is almost a colourless fluid that absorbs within a few minutes on application. My skin was instantly transformed into soft velvety hydrated skin. The amount of serum youâd need is 2-3 drops, this serum has a tendency to go on sticky if used more than required. (I sense a high amount of glycerine?)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZgx-JVHGQTDuwY4I4b4YgbW1PEYUJCNjahowSepuE1PHp8EEQD1NpRF24fT5K-SQ9va1cQme2lDpoow3pRPgCclQTh06yPcTwN8HB59sKAp3CukADeihBgp64KCvep0uQpB6zF5zURxY/s1600/LR-3322.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cruelty-free Skincare | The Body Shop Drops of Light Brightening Serum Review" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZgx-JVHGQTDuwY4I4b4YgbW1PEYUJCNjahowSepuE1PHp8EEQD1NpRF24fT5K-SQ9va1cQme2lDpoow3pRPgCclQTh06yPcTwN8HB59sKAp3CukADeihBgp64KCvep0uQpB6zF5zURxY/s640/LR-3322.jpg" title="Buy The Body Shop Drops of Light Online India, UK, USA, Phillipines, Singapore, Malaysia" width="476" /></a></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<br />Drops of Light Serum with and without makeup </h4>
This serum gels well with Silicone based foundations as well as tinted moisturizers. But this serum (with primer on top) works best with powder foundations on my normal-combination skin. This or some ingredient in this does not let the mineral foundation cling to the dry patches or accentuate flakiness.<br />
<br />
I tried mixing this serum with Chanel Vita Lumeire and it did not mix at all. I wanted to turn my foundation in serum foundation. <i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Utter FAIL</span></i>!<br />
This serum works best upon layering rather than mixing. <i>Is it just me? Or I thought I could create serum foundation on my own?</i><br />
<br />
I use this serum exclusively during daytime and avoid using it in my evening/night time routine. It adds a subtle radiant glow to my face when used alone. And it is said already, I cannot afford to skip this under makeup.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Products that complement DOL Pure Healthy Brightening Serum </h4>
I am starting to include all the products I use along with the Skincare products to lay down a brief idea of what goes well with the focused product.<br />
<br />
I did not like using the Brightening Day cream from the same range with Face cleanser and Serum. The day cream with the serum is too heavy for my liking. So I either layered Clean and Clear oil balancing moisturizer or The Body Shop Vitamin C moisturizer, both of these moisturizers worked well.<br />
Clean and Clear mattified my skin while Vitamin C added a million watts glow, good enough to go bare face.<br />
The other products that complemented this serum are Bioderma Matte fluid and Nivea Aftershave both which I used as a primers.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Brightening Effects on Blemishes & Scars</h4>
When I bought this, all I was anticipating was-clear and even skin. And that is what it delivers. This does exfoliates, extremely mild because when I use this I feel less need to exfoliate.<br />
Apart from adding a radiant subtle glow on application, evening out skin tone and complementing well with my base makeup, this additionally boosts the skin's hydration levels. Major love for that!<br />
So did it work on my blemishes and scarring? No.<br />
But on the brighter side, if wearing alone under moisturizer, the scars and blemishes do appear diffused, due to light reflectors maybe?<br />
<br />

A quick background on how I discovered The Body Shop Brightening Serum and bought it, I picked up The Body Shop British Rose Shower Gel - sometime in June-July and the SA slipped in a sample of this in the bag. I was testing the Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi serum as night oil at the time. I tested this serum the next morning and my skin was instantly clarified and radiant. And I could not understand why. And I was taken by the hydration level of my skin and hence I decided to purchase the range. But I did not achieve the same clarified result with the full sized product. Fishy!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
My skin at the time was not really in a preferred condition. Inflammatory acne due to the weather change and my rosacea had poked its head up and my skin was drier than usual. I have used the range for a few weeks- two to be precise and stopped using the Pure Healthy Brightening Day Cream due to acne breakouts.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Texture & Efficacy</b></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I find it unnecessary to spend on some clarifying cleanser that is nothing more than an ordinary foaming face wash. I had to put this range to test and hence I bought it without much thought. The clarifying Foam wash has a pearl sheen to it and foams more than an average cleanser. I find this works well with my Michael Todd Sonic Brush as well as working with hands; I tend to use a lot with the brush in compared to using it with my hands. It has extremely micro-particles, the kind youâll only feel when youâre sensitive. I assume the creamy yet soft gritty texture is due to clay in it. I am sure the exfoliation is as micro as possible, great for sensitive skin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Indeed clarified and non-drying results are achieved after rinsing off. At first, I disliked the overall working of the product including the texture and results. I am used to liking squeaky clean skin but I am noticing a radical change in my preference; Squeaky clean = Stripping of beneficial natural oils.<br />
This does leave a slight veil of creaminess except for the areas around my mouth. I find it a balance of clay and creaminess that should work for both oily and dry skin.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Clarifying Foam Wash with and without Drops of Light Serum and Brightening Day cream</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Body Shop Drops of Light Pure Healthy Brightening Day Cream broke me out so it was wiser to eliminate it from my daily routine. I did continue using the Serum and Face wash together and my review is entirely based on this combination.<br />
I did notice radiance after using the Foam Wash but that did not last any long. With the continued usage of the Foam Wash and serum daily, I did notice a difference in my skin tone alone. It did fail to work on my hyperpigmentation, texture and old scars. But I did skip exfoliation or restricted only once a week.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Conclusion</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>I find it unnecessary to use the Clarifying cleanser on its own. It does not strip natural oils from the skin and leaves a healthy satin veil of moisture on the skin. I am assuming that it boost the radiance when used with the products from the same range. At times, I did keep the lather on for few minutes to notice if it works on removing suntan, sadly it didnât but instead left my sensitive skin feeling raw after rinsing. MicroExfoliation, as I noticed. To put down in one sentence, it is insignificant on its own, unless If youâre planning to include the DOL Range in your routine. On its own, it is just another cleanser. Iâd rather invest in a cleanser that doubles as makeup remover and cleanser at once.<br />

I have been fancying Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks (esp<strike> Miranda</strike> Red Carpet Red) and when I decided to treat myself, lipstick was the last thing on my mind. But Deciem's The Ordinary was launched and I added the High-Spreadability Primer, Rosehip seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid and Moisturizer and when I checked out, all of them were sold out, in a matter of mere 4-5 minutes.<br />
I want to try her Treat & Transform Magic Cream which I added to my cart but since it is heavy, the import duties for it (alone) turned out to be higher than I anticipated.<br />
So I settled for base makeup instead. I am hankering towards Golden Goddess & Filmstar Bronze & Glow kit! In a few, I want all! <br />

<br />
Even though, I decided to christen these on my birthday; I tested both the foundations few days before. I wanted to be sure of what finish I preferred with the makeup with my skin condition.<br />
Boy! When I tested the shade of Magic foundation on my jawline and nose, I was doubtlessly under a spell. The shade blended in perfectly. I have had great first impressions of all these products so far.<br />
<br />
So what I chose to wear on my Birthday? <b>Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder</b>! (without a doubt)<br />
The shade matching is close enough but a bit too warm for my neutral tone which makes it a bit shadowy on my complexion. Shade 6 has pink undertone while Shade 5 would've been too light for me. But the Magic Foundation is my skin but better kind of shade match for me and I couldn't be more stoked!<br />
I do not regret purchasing any of these but are these worth the price? which I will be decoding in individual reviews.<br />
<br />

Shopping with Beautylish</h4>
I placed my order on 6th of April 2017 and I was notified that my order was shipped within 24 hours. And additionally, I received an email from FedEx about the tracking and documents for customs verification. The Service type used by Beautylish was FedEx International Priority. And I received my package on 10th April, 2 days before the estimated date. I selected the gift wrap option with a written note. I am definitely impressed with the quick delivery. The customs duties were already included in the order. You can check the snapshot of my order below. I prefer paying import customs duties with the order than on arrival.<br />
For such quick International delivery and prepaid custom duties, I am impressed and looking forward to placing more orders with them( motivates me enough!)<br />

I had to choose between <i>diamonds</i> and <i>makeup</i>.<br />
<br />
I chose <i>Makeup</i>.<br />
<br />
And for accomplishing 3 major goals in 2016 (one in 2017), after working hard for months and numerous sleepless nights (Thank you Redbull!) I decided to treat myself to some luxury makeup in spite of my project pan challenge. I seem to go on purchasing makeup and keep forgetting about it. I lack sincerity with project panning!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the makeup flatlay<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-jk45BZktO5wzEMZF6RGTHcwyeiAU11TTVvCIVr1O7Xb8QFgqtnLAO2r7bjjvdxkJtNGa7_IeoGxc5ZjUe81Pl0zRXNdr7Ggtp3I2yoCN55LrcjoA-9TwkDh9ddX6pVCrvrzhIGTUc6I/s1600/LR-3551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Soft Rose Gold Aesthetic and Makeup Tutorial" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-jk45BZktO5wzEMZF6RGTHcwyeiAU11TTVvCIVr1O7Xb8QFgqtnLAO2r7bjjvdxkJtNGa7_IeoGxc5ZjUe81Pl0zRXNdr7Ggtp3I2yoCN55LrcjoA-9TwkDh9ddX6pVCrvrzhIGTUc6I/s640/LR-3551.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
My theme for makeup as well as aesthetic was Rose gold. I paired a soft rose gold smokey with soft mauve lips. That lip colour was not on my mind, but I have been wearing Cannes lot, to skip it for once; I mixed Zurich and Marc Jacob's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I wore Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation and dusted the Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder over my T-zone lightly.<br />
My base, illuminated and extremely light with bronzed glow, I did skip contouring today. And after taking pictures, I realized I need to fix my eyebrows, I fixed them, wiped off my lipstick and stepped out.<br />
<br />
I have zillion Lace blouses, tops and tanks and every time I see lace, mesh or anything similar I have to purchase it (and regret later.) But this is something I had to include in my collection. I didn't have anything forest green!<br />
<br />

And here's the birthday acquisition (for succeeding goals and ignoring my skin all the while!)<br />

The Product has been provided by the brand for consideration.<br />
<br />
I was invited to the Organic Harvest Juhu Store launch. A gift hamper was provided for consideration. I also bought their Daily Shampoo which is SLS/SLES and Paraben free, I am left with few washes and my review is due.<br />
<br />
[Please take note that I have already finished the lipbalm (both Organic Harvest & EOS smooth sphere) and this is an incomplete draft I am determined to complete and publish, hence the tense]<br />

<br />
<b><br />Organic Harvest Green Apple Lipbalm</b> was the first thing I tested which of course could be assumed as EOS dupe. But wait till you hear out my conclusion.<br />
I am left with a flattened dome, good enough to last me for a couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
I have an anxiety-induced habit of biting my lip and the only way I can keep myself biting off my lip is by layering them with balm. And it takes reminding, to constantly reapplying the balm, out of anxiety again!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Texture:</b><br />
<br />
A slight waxy formula. It does instantly soften the dryness and flakiness. And to my disenchantment, it disappeared into nothingness. Who am I kidding?<br />
The waxy formula dissipates into an invisible waxy veil with more or less <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">shine-free</span> finish, unlike the conventional lip balms.<br />
I hope that I put that across decently. And if you layer, it does have a slight tendency to look whitish with visibility of the wax.<br />
<b><i>In comparison with the EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span>:</i></b><br />
EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> does not dissipate but brings out rather a healthy flush due to peppermint in it. EOS is comforting on the lips.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Longevity:</b><br />
<br />
I find Organic Harvest Lipbalm needs less frequent application in comparison to EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span>. Perhaps, due to the waxy formula. EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balms</span> do not survive meals.<br />
To put it straight, both of these need reapplication but I prefer Organic Harvest <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> underneath my <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">mattes</span> and EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> on its own, mostly indoors or when I give lip colours a miss.<br />
<br />
<b>Price & Availability:</b><br />
<br />
Organic Harvest <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> is available across leading e-commerce website and their standalone stores. EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> is available only on selected e-commerce website with price variations. There is a colossal difference in the price points. Organic Harvest lip balm retails for 199 <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">INR</span> while EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> retails for anywhere between 500 <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">INR</span> to 600 <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">INR</span> depending on the re-sellers.<br />
Other variants available for Organic Harvest <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balms</span> are Pomegranate, Strawberry, and Shea.<br />
EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balms</span> are available in so many other variants. Sweet mint is my <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">favourite,</span> though.<br />

<b>Is Organic Harvest <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> a dupe for EOS <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span>?</b><br />
<br />
No, except for the packaging there is no <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">likeness</span> in the texture of these two. Organic <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Harvest, in my opinion,</span> has a unique texture which on application goes lustrous on application but settles into a shine-free veil. This uniqueness I find quite flattering underneath a matte lipstick due to <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">its</span> waxy formula which tends to go opaque if layered. Especially underneath the Colourpop Matte Lipcolours, the OH <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> works for me.<br />
I dislike wearing OH <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">lip balm</span> on its own, which is probably my only dislike with the product.<br />
<br />
<b>Cruelty-free status:</b> Organic Harvest is Cruelty-free. EOS is not Cruelty-free.<br />
<b>Is Organic Harvest Lip Care Balm Vegan? </b><br />
Sadly, It is not Vegan. Even though the ingredient list is missing. One of the key ingredients is "ECO certified Lanolin" which makes it unsuitable for vegans.<br />
<b>Price: </b>199 INR<br />
<b>Repurchase:</b> Probably not.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I love a good, gentle and non-drying cleanser; and a search for one is unceasing. I have loved Neutrogena Foaming Cleanser for the longest time. I was searching for a cruelty-free alternative; I narrowed down on a few brands. I was adamant to buy CeraVe from Amazon US since I read it is cruelty free and hence I dropped them an enquiry email. The challenging part of finding a cleanser is it being SLS/SLES free, Paraben free and cruelty-free. And then there is no middle ground.<br /><br />CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser had it all that I was anticipating, even though I did read that CeraVe is cruelty-free. I was unsure of it being unquestionable. So I dropped an email to enquire about their cruelty-free stance. I received two emails regarding my query.<br />The first did mention that CeraVe products are not tested on animals. Here is an insert of the email.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

Additionally, we have forwarded the latter portion of your inquiry over to our Medical Information Department. This department has access to CeraVe ingredient information and will be getting back to you with additional information.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Elly<b><br /><br />Consumer Affairs</b></span></i></div>

elf cosmetics (Eyes Lips Face), a cosmetic brand based in New York now ships worldwide. I happened to be making my birthday list, sorting through brands I want to own. Accidentally I landed on their website only to discover they've initiated Free Worldwide Shipping on the orders above $50.<br />
<br />
So I contacted their customer support to confirm free shipping on $50, Duties and taxes. And I hurriedly added few primers into the cart. And the Customs duties and taxes were included in the total order. The option of paying the customs duties and taxes upon the arrival of the package is available as well.<br />
<br />
I am attaching a snapshot of my order summary below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXf-CpIxjZroJn2iiJiQLHNTJDVlXUWd4MINFTSL8r3wB6LIdt_0wXyrYyKW5Uho3UEFxfipnUaDChyt_yR2RNUmnT57wZ4yfedMB76LxPMtYaCsVJqyCXKPKEQLmmHyracnHlCfGJBvU/s1600/elf.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXf-CpIxjZroJn2iiJiQLHNTJDVlXUWd4MINFTSL8r3wB6LIdt_0wXyrYyKW5Uho3UEFxfipnUaDChyt_yR2RNUmnT57wZ4yfedMB76LxPMtYaCsVJqyCXKPKEQLmmHyracnHlCfGJBvU/s640/elf.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here is what you could pick up from their bestsellers list.<br />
<br />
<b>e.l.f High Definition Powder</b><br />
<b>e.l.f Lip Exfoliator</b><br />
<b>e.l.f<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Baked Highlighter & Blush</b> (<i><b>e.l.f Blush gems</b></i> is close dupe for <i><b>MAC Soft & Gentle</b></i>)<br />
<b>e.l.f Poreless Face Primer</b> (a close dupe for <i><b>Smashbox photo finish primer</b></i>)<br />
<b>e.l.f blush</b> (available in 7 shades which are close dupes of the <i><b>Nars blushes</b></i>.)<br />
<br />
I personally think the international prices of the elf products defeats their ideology of premium affordable makeup. The e.l.f essential lipstick that retail for $1 is priced INR 147, a little more than converted currency. And to top that, we have customs duties and taxes.<br />
I hastily added correcting primers and serum foundation, flabbergasted to see it exceeds the price point of a mediocre Indian drugstore foundation. After calculating the increased pricing and customs duties and taxes, I think Iâll pass.<br />
elf is cruelty-free and PETA approved, was the only plus point that compelled me to place an order. Perhaps Iâll splurge on my birthday, better!<br />
You can check out the link below to check the list of countries elf cosmetics currently ships. They are currently offering free worldwide shipping on the order above $50 excluding France, Australia, Netherlands, Sweden and Mexico.<br />
