My Monthly favourite beauty products – January

February 1, 2017 nyxhit 20 Comments

Happy Chinese New year! This is a year of Rooster. Do you know your Chinese Zodiac animal? Find your Zodiac animal here . I am Rat. I have never done monthly favorites ~~before~~ but this time I am going to sit and talk about my favourite products of the month. From getting an opportunity to learn from celebrity makeup artist, Mario, and his muse Kim Kardashian to starting a new Madhubani painting after years, January was a fantastic month.I also indulged in shopping, dining and entertainment to respect Dubai Shopping Festival (Wink!). I hope you enjoy my very first Monthly Favorites – January.

Claudalie Divine Oil

I am a huuuuuuuuge admirer of face and body oils and now I have accommodated them in my beauty routine. I have an extremely dry skin and this is the only oil that lasts whole day. It has a blend of grapeseed oil, hibiscus, sesame and argan oils along with a patented anti-oxidant. It has a sweet fragrance and I don’t mind it. I love the fact it comes with a spritzer so it becomes easy in application. Who doesn’t like mess free life!

ELF Studio Moisturizing Lipstick – Blackberry

Do you want Notice-Me, lip color? Yes! Then this lipstick is for you. It gives a full creamy coverage in one stroke with an impressive lasting power. I wasn’t sure whether dark lips are my “thing”- this is a wallet friendly option and I love the compliments I get when I wear it. If you follow me on Instagram, you will find me wearing it in every other day.

NYX Soft Matte Lip cream- Copenhagen

Whoah! Finally, I got this shade in Dubai. I hated it – when lady at the NYX counter used to say “It is unavailable, you will not get it anywhere in Dubai” or “Out of stock” on online shopping websites. Copenhagen is an absolutely gorgeous dark cranberry lip color. It has a soft creamy, mousse like texture with a lasting power of 3-4 hours. I am not a big fan of the formula but I love this lip color. It has a permanent space reserved in my bag.

Glam Glow mask

Glam glow isn’t a miracle mask but it is a great mask. January was a little busy month for me and for instant glow, it was a perfect choice for quick fix. No wonder it has a great reputation in entertainment industry.

Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy Shampoo

My hair really gets bored with the shampoo I use for more than a month. I switch my shampoo every now and then as it becomes less effective with the constant use, leaving my hair dry and dull. This month I picked up OGX Brazilian Keratin Therapy shampoo, it claimed to strengthen and soften the hair. I love the fact it nourishes my hair and makes it healthy.

Bath & Body Works Body Mist – Peony

Who doesn’t like to smell like classic lady? This is the first body spray I purchased from Bath & Body Works store and I am hooked to this one. The floral fragrance of the mist makes me feel as if I am walking in a garden full of flowers. Bye! Bye! Victoria Secret for a while.

What are your favorite beauty products of January? Do you think that your hair can get bored with a regular use of the same shampoo?

11 Things I learned from Mario Dedivanovic’s Masterclass beyond contouring.

January 18, 2017 nyxhit 21 Comments

Desire knows no boundaries. I am not going to lie but I seriously wanted to attend Mario Dedivanovic’s masterclass like crazy.

When I got a chance to attend Mario Dedivanovic’s masterclass, I left no stone unturned to attend it. After watching four-hour-long makeup session and filling 10-12 pages of my notebook (that too after 10 years), I can confidently say there were so many things I learned from Mario Dedivanovic’s masterclass. It was an ahhhhh..mazzzzing experience!

The sold-out event, tickets of which costed from $500 to $1300, took place in the Music Hall Jumeirah Jabeel Saray and it started an hour late due to high turnout of beauty enthusiasts. After standing in the queue for close to an hour, I entered The Musichall where I saw a running presentation of Mario Dedivanovic and his muse Kim Kardashian.

The Masterclass started after Mario called his muse Kim Kardashian on stage. It was her first event after the Paris robbery and she looked gorgeous without makeup. Wearing jeans and a cream vest top, Kim jokingly told the crowd, “Let’s hope that Mario does a good job.” Next four hours, I witnessed Picasso painting his canvas. Luckily, I was sitting beside Mario’s mother; the experience became more enriching and exciting.

Kim Kardashian looking flawless without make up

Here are 11 things I learned from Mario Dedivanovic’s Masterclass that goes beyond contouring.

1. Primers are not necessary

Mario emphasized that Primers are not necessary as it creates a barrier between the makeup and the skin. It doesn’t let makeup as the part of the skin. he uses a very emollient moisturizer on the clean face. Mario applied Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer all over Kim’s face and suggested Classic Nivea cream is also good for the job.

2. Create an ombre effect to your eyebrows

Mario stressed on keeping the brows as soft and natural as possible. He focused on the outer corners and less on the areas closer to the eye. “Amount of pressure is the key” and “frame it to lift the face”, he explained. He dislikes Instagram brows and explained, “Severe brows look masculine.” Avoid it. He uses Anastasia Brow Definer to fill Kim’s brows.

3.Apply foundation everywhere

Throughout the masterclass, Mario kept saying “I am an old-fashioned makeup artist.” He prefers cream foundation as it is easy to manipulate and build up to get exact kind of coverage you require. He used a little darker shade of foundation on Kim. Apply foundation on face, neck, ears, shoulders and everywhere possible. Don’t forget to blend a little foundation on your eyelids!

4. Brush and then beauty blender

Who doesn’t love beauty blender! Mario applies foundation with a brush and then blend it with damp beauty blender to kneed foundation into the skin. The result is fresh, glowing skin and it seems as product is married to skin. Blend. Blend. Blend.

5.Cream eyeshadows as the base, powder next

I told you, he doesn’t like primer on the face. He also avoids eye primer and uses cream eyeshadows to do the work of holding the pigments. “Never creases, not required to touch up”. He spends a lot of time in blending the eyeshadows. He used Tom Ford cream eyeshadow (Spice No.4) , Urban Decay glide on 24/7 and Anastasia Beverly Hill’s Master Palette by Mario.

6. Layer your eyeliner

I have been doing this all wrong. If you use only one eyeliner, you are also doing it all wrong. Mario said that he usually does 3-4 layers of eyeliner. He explained that after a little while, liner starts to absorb into the makeup and it loses the intensity- “so I like to really layer the line and build it to give a definition.” First layer is close to eyelids, he uses Urban Decay glide on pencil, second layer is Anastasia Beverly Hills crème eyeliner and third layer is matte liquid eyeliner (MAC liquid eyeliner).

7. Prep your eyelids with translucent powder

For the makeup to last, he sets the eye lids and face with a translucent powder. He uses Laura Mercier’s Translucent powder.

8. Go easy with color correcting

“I am not big into color correcting”, he said. He uses a little bit of a peach-colored product under the eyes to hide dark circles. He applied the product with a Q-tip. He finds dark circles more challenging and uses his “Sandbag technique”.

9. Sandbag Technique

Mario explained his sandbagging effect in detail. He applies a thick layer of concealer under the eyes in an upside-down triangle, blending it down with a brush, along the sides of the nose and the temples. Then, he uses a sponge to coat the concealer with loose face powder, let it sit for few minutes and brush off the excess. This will surely become my go-to technique this summer. No sweat, oil, liner will affect the make-up.

10. Invest in Baby shampoo and tea tree oil

Mario loves his brushes and he said that he still uses one he bought the day before he met Kim. “I love them.”, said Mario. “Some of them look crazy, but I’ve manipulated them over the years to do exactly what I want them to do.” He uses baby shampoo and tea tree oil to wash his brushes. Now, this is something I am going to do right now!

11. Use single eyelashes, instead of eyelash strip

Kim has seriously long eyelashes and they are beautiful. He wiggles a couple of coats of Loreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara from the root to tips and separates them with a cute looking lash comb. He admits that he doesn’t like applying mascara on the lower lashes but Kim loves it. Then he applies medium sized individual lashes using tweezers and black adhesive. Once they are dry, apply another coat of mascara over the falsies and real lashes.

Lastly, I learned the solution to one of the biggest challenge I face while applying makeup. Discoloration around the mouth area is one of the biggest problem Indian women face. Mario suggested to pat 2-3 shades lighter foundation first on the skin and then go heavier with the same color foundation over the skin. And blend it in the skin to get the flawless look.

Thank you, Mario and Kim for taking my makeup routine to another level. The Masterclass by Mario is worth every penny spend and it doesn’t matter you are a pro makeup artist or novice, you will surely learn something. Have a look at the certificate I got here.

What do you think about these makeup tricks?

3 reasons to buy Makeup Revolution Blush Palette!

January 11, 2017 nyxhit 2 Comments

“The first time I saw it, my heart fell. The second time I saw it, my heart fell. The third time, fourth time, fifth time and every time since, my heart has fallen.” I am obsessed with Makeup Revolution Blush Palette – Sugar and Spice. It is indeed a beauty lovers dream. This my very first Makeup Revolution purchase and I must admit that it didn’t let down my expectation.

What it is?

Makeup Revolution Blush Palette- sugar and spice is a palette that contains 8 blush colors with a mix of pink and earthy shades along with 2 shimmer powders.

What I liked?

If you are a beginner, then this palette is a holy grail as it gives you a good variety of colors that you can try. I loved the buttery texture of the blush which is very easy in application. It blends out beautifully and effortlessly. Color pay-off was also good, it didn’t move for good 7-8 hours. It will look good on any skin-tone. Oh boy! Did I forget to talk about two baked shimmer blushes. They are just beautiful!

You can’t beat this highly pigmented palette because of its price. I am yet to find a good drugstore blush palette. Please let me know if you know any.

What I didn’t like?

I didn’t like the plastic packaging of the palette. Apart from that first two colors in the palette are not as good as others.

Final Verdict!

For the price I paid for this palette, I am quite impressed with the purchase. It has some incredibly good shades of blush that will look good on medium to dark skin tone. This blush stays put for 7-8 hours and I can comfortably say that it is as good as Tarte’s Amazonian Clay 12 hour’s blush.

Go get it, right now!

Lots of love!

Morphe Brushes 35F- Fall into Frost palette review and swatches

November 16, 2016 nyxhit 9 Comments

Hello Lovelies, November is a very special month for me. I am going to celebrate my seven-year anniversary this month. It is a bigger milestone than some people might realise as hubby dear and I took seven vows and seven circles around fire, seven years ago. It is our Copper anniversary. So, I had a big reason to indulge in some good makeup (Blink!). I was contemplating to buy Huda Beauty Rose Gold eyeshadow palette or Anastasia Beverly Hills Master palette by Mario but I ended up buying Morphe Brushes 35F – Fall into frost palette.

I haven’t made my affections for makeup artist and YouTube star, Jaclyn Hill, a secret. This girl knows beauty and when she did a tutorial on Morphe Brushes 35O palette, I was keen to buy it. But it is one palette that is always “Out of stock”. I have never tried any product of Morphe brushes so I thought to try Morphe Brushes 35F- Fall into frost palette which was launched early this year.

Here are my thoughts on Morphe Brushes 35F palette:

What it is?

Morphe Brushes 35F – Fall into frost is an eyeshadow palette with 28 shimmery metallic shades and 7 matte shades. Morphe Brushes on its website says:

“Featuring 7 all-new highly pigmented matte shades and 28 rich metallic colors, this is the palette you will reach for to wake up your looks with a touch of eye-catching shimmer. The 7 matte colors offer necessary neutrals from flesh toned to black and ensure an effortless, well-blended look every time.”- https://www.morphebrushes.com/products/35f

How does it feel?

Just take a minute and admire all the shades this palette offers. It has a beautiful selection of colors to complement “Fall” or “Winter” fashion. First row has a mix of highlight shades that can not only be used on eyes but also on high points of your face. There are insanely pigmented colors in this palette like Cranberry, raspberry, copper, gold, rose gold, champagne, etc. All the shimmers are extremely pigmented and buttery.

Last row is dedicated to 7 matte shades which are more like a transition and base shades. I absolutely loved the feel of these eyeshadows as they are smooth, easy to build and blend.

What I like?

I was contemplating to buy Huda Beauty Rose Gold Eyeshadow palette and Anastasia Beverly Hills Master Palette by Mario for a season of celebration. Instead I bought this as it is a perfect dupe to these high-end palettes at a very reasonable price. Quality of this palette is as good as high-end eyeshadows (if not more). I experienced little fall-out during application and I can completely understand that as these are highly pigmented eyeshadows. But this is something I experienced with my Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 too.

These eyeshadows are highly pigmented and stays put for a long time. But if you want to get a better result, then wear it with a good primer. I took one eyeshadow from each row and swatch it on my hand. Intense!

What I didn’t like?

There is nothing to dislike about Morphe Brushes 35F palette except couple of things that can be overlooked.

35F palette came in a cardboard packaging and was protected by a bubble-wrap. This palette comes in a very simple plastic packaging with the logo in the front and 35F sticker on the back. It is extremely thin and comes without a mirror. But the only reason I ignored it because of the price I paid.
Why? But Why Morphe brushes eyeshadows do not have any name? This becomes annoying to point out which eyeshadow I am talking about. Common we all need names! Here are 7 eyeshadows that I liked from the palette and I don’t know what to call them!

What is the price and where can I find it?

This is a game changer. I paid AED 119 for 35 highly pigmented and good quality eyeshadows. Isn’t it a great buy!

Price: 22.99 USD on www.morphebrushes.com

119 AED on www.glamazle.com

I will post my looks using this palette on my Instagram account. If you have not followed me on Instagram, what are you waiting for!

What are your thoughts about this palette? Have you tried Morphe brushes products before?

7 Most popular beauty vloggers on YouTube 2016

November 9, 2016 nyxhit 6 Comments

I have a very beautiful relationship with makeup and its application. Perhaps I am a self-professed, self-admired and self-taught makeup artist. From one shade of foundation to more than 25 shades of foundation for every skin tone is a long journey. Contouring, strobing and baking are not a beauty jargon any more. Makeup is still considered as a mask but these beauty vloggers proved that makeup is an art, passion and expression. But I have a love-hate relationship with YouTube beauty channels. I love watching YouTube videos as I have learned a lot of my makeup skills and discovered some great products. And I hate it as sometimes it makes you feel as though you can do heart surgery looking at YouTube videos!

Here are 7 beauty gurus on YouTube you should follow to get a dose of beauty with a charm.

Jaclyn Hill

I found Jaclyn Hill’s video by mistake but her connect with the audience won me over. She is one of the most influential YouTube vlogger with over 3 million YouTube subscribers and 2.6 million Instagram followers. Her collaboration with Becca was unapologetically popular – “Champagne Pop” highlighter had a record breaking sales on the day it was launched.

Kandee Johnson

I love Kandee Johnson! She is a great makeup artist and a YouTube star. She can make her look like anyone. And her latest Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton transformation is by far the best thing I have ever watched. Satisfaction to the core!

Wayne Goss

If you get lost in the dark makeup alleys, then follow this YouTube star. Wayne Goss is fresh like a breeze in the world of affiliates, collaboration and endorsement. He is unabashedly honest in his reviews and has some of the best makeup tutorials. Love him or Hate him but he is a YouTube star you can’t avoid.

Huda Kattan

Huda Kattan is a beauty giant and Middle East’s most revered makeup artist. She is a vlogger, makeup artist, and boasts of being one of the top beauty influencer on Instagram with 15.4 million followers. She has her own powerhouse of makeup line, Huda Beauty, with fluttery false lash strips and Lip contour pencils being the flagship of the brand.

Lisa Eldridge

Lisa Eldridge is a legend and watching her YouTube tutorials is like attending a Makeup masterclass. She has a beautiful British accent and I find it so attractive. “I approach make-up with the philosophy ‘wear what you like, when you like.’ There are no rules – if you want to wear red lipstick every day because it makes you feel good, do it!” – Lisa

Nikkie Tutorials

Anyone who follows Nikkie Tutorials knows that she is the one who made Nivea Post Shave balm famous as a primer. She is hugely popular, since 2008, now having a cool collaboration with Too Faced. She effortlessly brings out her adorable personality and makeup skills on videos.

Farah Dhukai

Do you want to try a natural skincare DIY then follow Farah Dhukai, queen of DIYs. From getting flawless skin to healthy hair, Farah has got a remedy. She and her husband created Farsali rose elixir as a solution to most of her skin concern. And everyone on Instagram is obsessing over it.

10 Minute Easy-Peasy Festive Makeup Look!

October 26, 2016 nyxhit 8 Comments

Hello Everyone! I wanted to (finally) share the makeup and saree,I wore on Karwachauth. I am always messed up wondering how to get ready and follow all the rituals of this festival. For those who are not familiar with this Indian festival, Karwachauth is a festival in which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the love of their husband. Think of it as Indian celebration of love and marriage. This is the only time of the year; I live without water and food. Yes, you read it right – without water and food. This is also the only day of the year when I wear traditional Indian saree and consider myself a makeup expert. I took only 10 minutes to create this easy peasy look.

This festival is super traditional so I wanted to wear heavy Banarsi saree (Mom, I love you so much for the gift) with a beautiful gold blouse. I also loved the real pearl necklace that was gifted by my Aunt (Bua) who pampers me with beautiful accessories and makeup suggestions.

My makeup was mostly traditional a very subtle rose gold eye look with pop of highlight to get that glowing look. I love this dark “vampy-ish” lip trend that has stormed the world. I completed the look with a red “bindi” and dark lip color.

Details of the product I used are mentioned below and I hope you all like this look! Let me know what you think about the look.

5 Lip smacking reasons to love Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick

October 19, 2016 nyxhit 9 Comments

Good news! It’s an end to the long scorching summer months in Dubai. Let’s just put it this way, we can have more fun with make up as the temperature begins to drop. Officially, fall marks the beginning of festive season and romance. This year fall fashion is all about orange hair, foiled eyeshadows and dark berry lips—it makes you want to try something different this season. This seasons matte trend is obviously not an easy one. Liquid matte lipstick is no doubt very popular these days but it is not easy to apply at first. Thankfully, I found the perfect Liquid matte lipstick, I am obsessing over last few weeks. Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick is just Ahhhhhhhhhmazzzzing!

Who is Huda Kattan?

What is Huda Beauty Liquid Lip Matte?

Huda beauty liquid matte lipstick is a long wear, non-transferable and intense color pay off liquid matte lipstick. Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick comes in feminine colors with red, brown and pink hues. Color range is more towards wearable colors with names like “Trophy Wife”, “Cheerleader”, “Heartbreaker”, “Venus” and a chocolate shade “Flirt”. The product clains:

“LONG-LASTING &COMFORTABLE MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK

INTENSE PIGMENTATION I HELPS TO MAINTAIN LIPS HYDRATION I NO TRANSFER”

How does it feel?

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte lipstick comes in a white box with open lips, biting the lipstick between the lips. I love the way Huda stresses on the packaging. Isn’t it cool!

Unlike other liquid matte lipsticks, this lipstick doesn’t have a thick formula. The lightweight formula glides easily on the lips and it is infused with antioxidants to hydrate lips. The thin coat of the liquid turns matte within seconds and gives an intense color which is not only transfer proof but stays put till eternity. The best thing is that this product is CRUELTY FREE and PARABEN free.

Why I am obsessed with this Lipstick?

This lipstick is ahhmazzzing! I wore Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick in the shade “Cheerleader” for 15 hours and I didn’t feel a need to re-apply it. I ate Indian curries, drank wine and even slept with this lipstick (I know it is a crime L) but this lipstick didn’t even move from its place. Impressive!

The feel of this product on my lips is another reason to die for. I have dry lips and this lipstick is so hydrating that you don’t feel anything on the lips. Applying liquid matte lipsticks is not an easy thing to do but this lipstick is extremely easy to apply. This is due to the liquid formula that glides really well and gives an option to rectify any errors you make.

It has very sweet tropical fragrance that I absolutely love!

What I didn’t like about the product?

To be very honest I think of no reason to dislike this product. It is a must have in your makeup bag if you love liquid matte lipsticks.

Do you have any Huda Beauty Liquid Matte lipstick? What are your views about the product? What is your favorite shade in the collection?
