Maybelline superstay matte ink romantic review & swatch

January 3, 2020yangandbeyond Leave a Comment

Maybelline superstay matte ink romantic is that shade which will surely grab your attention if you are inclined more towards pink lipstick shades.

Before I start with Maybelline superstay matte ink romantic review let me quickly mention what the brand has to say about the maybelline superstay matte ink.

Product Description: SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick gives you a flawless matte finish in a range of super saturated shade. Ink your lips in up to 16-hour saturated liquid matte. SuperStay Matte Ink features a unique arrow applicator for precise application and is available in 10 super saturated shades.

Maybelline superstay matte ink vs MAc candy yum yum

You’d be really surprised to see the color payoff and staying power of the Maybelline superstay matte ink. It’s a bright pink with a pinch of neonish tone, but not too loud. If I had to compare Maybelline superstay matte ink romantic with any of the lipstick I own, that would undoubtedly be mac candy yum yum. They both look a lot similar, while mac candy yum has strong neon presence and many might not dare to wear it, Maybelline superstay matte ink romantic on the other hand is more wearable in terms of the color.

Texture and lasting power
The liquid lipstick takes a little more time in settling than most other matte lipsticks. Also, it feels a lot sticky for few minutes or hours after application. The lipstick last for a good 10-12 hours without any smudges, but transfers a bit. This makes me say that it’s not hundred percent transfer proof.

Ingredients:
DIMETHICONE TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE ISODODECANE NYLON-611/DIMETHICONE COPOLYMER DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER C30-45 ALKYLDIMETHYLSILYL POLYPROPYLSILSESQUIOXANE LAUROYL LYSINE ALUMINA SILICA SILYLATE DISODIUM STEAROYL GLUTAMATE PHENOXYETHANOL CAPRYLYL GLYCOL LIMONENE ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE PARAFFIN

My experience with Maybelline superstay matte ink romantic

I feel in love with the shade right from the moment I tried it at the store, but I wasn’t sure about its lasting power. I walked out the store with the lipstick on to give it a wear test before finally buying it. I didn’t want to spend 650 rs on a product which I wasn’t sure about.
To my suprise, the lipstick stayed until evening and it just wouldn’t come off. I had to remove using coconut oil as it wasn’t coming off even with my makeup remover.

I also liked the application wand. It come with a dented doe foot applicator. It scoops the right amount of product and the length of the wand gives a really comfortable application. Giving all these thoughts, i finally bought it on Nykaa for 500 rs on their black Friday sale.

Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo review

December 24, 2019yangandbeyond Leave a Comment

Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo recently caught my attention as I was hunting for a good sulfate free shampoo online. During the Nykaa pink Friday sale, I made it a point where I told myself “Yang, pick just the essentials”. And yeah, sticking to the thought of buying just what I needed the most (during the sale) turned out well. Meaning, I was consciously adding products on my cart, which obviously took a lot of my time, but it’s worth it 🙂

Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo comes in off white plastic bottle. The shampoo has a silky cream texture. It lathers like magic and smells amazing.

Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo is a decent product for dry and damaged hair, because it’s free of most harsh chemicals it doesn’t strip natural healthy oil from your scalp.

Lets hear what the brand has to say about the product-

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula products contain ethically and sustainably sourced Coconut Oil and Tahitian Monoï, infused with Tiaré flower petals. These raw, natural ingredients deeply hydrate, repair damage and give hair incredible shine. Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formla Coconut Oil Conditioning Shampoo is a rich, creamy shampoo, free of sulfates and harsh detergents, that gently cleanses and removes buildup without stripping hair or interrupting its delicate moisture balance. No Sulfates • No Parabens • No Phthalates • No Mineral Oil • No Gluten • No Dyes

Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo is priced at 495 rs for 400 ml in India.

Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo ingredients

Pros –
Hair feels soft and shiner
Moisturizing
Nice coconuty fragrance
Lathers good

Cons-
Doesn’t tame freezy hair as much
Using too often as everyday regular shampoo weigh downs the hair
Not easily available in India

My experience with palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo-
Genuinely, I am not a very big fan of coconut fragrance. The only coconut fragrance product that I use is the parachute pure coconut hair oil. Once in a week, just because of its moisturizing properties. As soon as the product got delivered, the first thing I did was flipped open the cap to see if I can tolerate the fragrance. To my surprise, it smelled quite pleasant! I was then worried about how the texture and the way it would work on my hair, but it all turned out well. I had a really satisfying hair wash experience with a sulfate free product. Most sulfate free shampoos don’t lather much, but this one was kick ass.

Would I buy this product again?
I would love to try their olive oil shampoo next. Yes, I like this product, but then, I also feel that it works best when I use it less often. Meaning, coconut oil is generally heavy so, if you are someone who washes their hair every alternate days, then it might make your hair little oily. The first week I used it three times a week and on the third wash, I could feel my hair turned oily on the second day itself. I have cut down to using only twice a week now, and I am thoroughly liking it.

Where to buy Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo in India – If you are looking for Palmer’s coconut oil formula conditioning shampoo in India, I doubt it would be easily available. Availability of the product in stores can be an issue, but you can always order them on Nykaa or Amazon

Best makeup products for oily skin available in India

Best makeup products for oily skin available in India –

Having a really oily skin with large pores, I used to stay away from makeup products during my college days.It was just when I started working, I began my makeup journey. With tons of makeup products available finding the Best makeup products for oily skin was the challenge. It took some time to find the product that best suited my skin type. Started with some basic makeup, right now the addition never ends. 😛

Let me take you through some of my makeup products that have been my holy grail ever since.

Makeup foundation for oily skin- Maybelline New York fit me matte & poreless foundation is my go to daily makeup foundation. It is retailed for 549 rs at stores in India. Well, you can check on Nykaa to get it at much better price or offers. It is oil free and water based makeup foundation and therefore gives a oil free, matte finish look. It mattifies and refines pores. Talking about the coverage, it sorta gives medium coverage, you can still build on if you want full coverage. Earlier, the packaging was the drawback as there was no pumping mechanism, but the new bottle comes with a pumping cap on. For me, this is the best affordable foundation for oily skin with large pores available in India.

Compact / Powder for oily skin with large pores- Maybelline New York fit me matte & poreless powder is my next favorite. Love how it gives the perfect natural poreless- looking finish. It controls shine and last for about 10-12 hours.

Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+- I used to skip sun blocks for a really long time, thinking it will make my skin feel heavy and oilier. But skipping sunblock only made it worst. I chose Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ because it doesn’t feel heavy on skin, gives a dry matte finish and is non-comedogenic (which means, this product does’t clog pores) Just dab a small amount after you are done moisturizing your face. It is priced for 199 rs / 30 ml.

Makeup setting spray for oily skin- In fact setting spray is an ideal choice for all skin type especially when you have heavy makeup on. It helps to tie together the whole makeup and prevents it from melting or fading.It’s very common to see eyeshadow creasing or foundation settling annoyingly around nose and eyes areas. Blotting you face will only lead to losing more product so, this is where a makeup setting spray helps. However I prefer setting sprays mostly for parties or times when I have to be out for long hours with makeup on. M.A.C Prep + Prime Fix+ is what I have been using. It works good, but it’s on a higher price range- 1800 rs. You can check on Nykaa for more affordable makeup setting spray. CLICK HERE

In my opinion, those were few of the best makeup products for oily skin available in India. Let me know what’s yours in the comments below 🙂
