Emaze Crushed eyeshadow- review, swatches

Sometimes a new brand wins your heart so badly that you want to test all its products. Emaze Cosmetics is one of those new brands that has impressed me a lot. I have reviewed one its products before and I'm happy that all my readers loved it. They all want to read about more products of this brand.

Today I have come up with another Emaze product and this time it's Emaze Mineral Eyeshadow Crushed which is purely high mineral powder.
These pigments are available in 20 lovely shades. I have picked Surge 233 no shade which is really a beautiful shade.
My first view is of course on the packaging and here without any hesitation I can say that Emaze Cosmetics can compete any high end brand. The pigment comes in black carton which has a wide vent through which you can see the pigment jar clearly. Inside it we find the lovely wide jar of crushed eye shadow with a wide black cap. When you open the cap you find the applicator with soft brush which is helpful for applying the pigment.  The brush applicator concept is quite similar to Rouge Bunny Rouge Glitter Pigments but personally I prefer a sponge tip applicator. Anyways, I love the packaging which is light weight and travel friendly too.

The brush is pretty soft but I won't prefer using it for applying in the minute areas of my eyes

The texture is soft silky and very blend able. Emaze Cosmetics says that you can mix it with your body lotion for applying and highlighting the open areas of your body. I really love this idea because in this way, you can use your pigment in a different manner. You can mix it in your foundation too to give your face a sparkling effect.

The shade Surge 233 is a greenish golden which is really a pretty color. I can apply it with many dark shade pigments or use it alone on my lids to give them a natural sheen.


The shadow is highly pigmented and clearly noticeable on my lids without any primer. With primer it appears even more beautiful. The good thing is that these are all natural mineral based. The only problem that I faced with this shadow is it fall out. You should apply it a bit carefully due to fallout but I’ll not blame much because you face this problem with most of the loose powders. It does not settle into the crease which is really impressive. It’s very buildable too. I'm also impressed with its long lasting power, It stays on my lids for about 5-6 hours easily so I love its staying power. If you have oily skin, you should apply it after a good base on your lids. 


Finally, It’s another product from Emaze Cosmetics which I love, I would love to try out some more shades from these eye shadows. It can easily remove with a cleanser, the good thing is that it’s all mineral based so you can apply without any hesitation for many hours. Apart from its quality, it’s quite reasonably priced. You can purchase it very easily because they ship worldwide.

  I'll highly recommend it to my readers and friends.

PRICE: €15
AVAILABILITY- You can buy it on their website HERE

Pond’s launches gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules

Pond’s launches gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules

Awaken to the Glow of Gold with
New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules

Real gold serum concentrate and a rich vitamin complex infused in little capsules to recapture your youthful radiance.

Ask a woman what bothers her most about her skin and chances are that she will say dryness. It’s true; dryness is a common problem for women, regardless of skin type. However, what they don’t know is that as they age the skin dryness is a symptom and not the problem itself.


At Pond’s, we took up the task to study this deep rooted problem. What we found in our research was startling. The dryness women experience when they are young is different from the dryness when their skin starts ageing. And dry skin is more prone to dullness. So, we asked ourselves, how could we help women combat this dryness and recapture their youthful glow?

The Pond’s Institute knows that dry skin is different and struggles more to recapture the radiance of youth. That’s why Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Richproducts, infused with real gold serum concentrate, are especially designed for dry skin to provide the extra, rich care it needs to recapture the radiance of youth.


New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules
For the first time from Pond’s, luxurious and high-performance nighttime formulation with real gold serum concentrate and a rich vitamin complex is captured for you in the New Pond’s gold radiance™Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules. As your skin goes through a lot during the day, the little capsule with combined gold serum concentrate and vitamin complex deeply* nourishes dry skin cells overnight. Its anti-ageing ingredient CLA also fights the tell-tale signs of ageing, so that you wake up youthful and glowing.
The little capsules are not only effective but also easy to apply. Before going to bed, just break open a capsule and gently massage the rich formulation on your skin with upward circular motion.Use it every evening as part of your daily skincare routine.

The New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules is an introduction to our wholesome range of products.It includes Ultra Rich Day Cream with high performance real gold serum concentrate to keep you glowing through the day.Also, Ultra Rich Serum with potent anti-ageing ingredients gives your skin the extra care it needs to recapture its youthful radiance.

Pond’s recommends using these 3 products together forming your own little regime. It will make sure your dry skin stays deeply nourished and you achieve the best results.

Step 1:Get rid of the impurities on your skin with Pond’s gold radiance™ Facial Foam or Self Foaming Cleanser

Night Regime: To recapture youthful radiance overnight

Step 1: Thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove any impurities withPond’s gold radiance™ Facial Foam or Self Foaming Cleanser

Sleek Makeup Dip-It eyeliner- Review, swatches


I have used many products, from lipstick to eye shadow palettes from Sleek Makeup but this time I want to try something new so I chose the Sleek Makeup Dip-It Eyeliner. I wanted a black liquid eye liner which I can apply on my eyes in an easy way. I tried some gel eyeliners too but to be honest I've always loved to use liquid liners rather than gel ones.



 Sleek Dip It liquid eyeliner comes in a fabulous packaging. As the name suggests, this is one of those eyeliners with a little pot full of liquid liner and a separate brush that you dip into it. The black pot looks beautiful on my dressing table, it's very light weight & cute!


The brush in this is pretty nice; it has a really nice sharp tip, so you can make really subtle thin lines if you want, or slightly broader ones by holding the brush at a different angle. Honestly speaking, it's actually more like one of those felt tip ends without separate hairs or fibers. If you are not much experienced in using liquid liner, you always hesitate to apply it in fear to be shaky application but with this sharp tip brush you can apply your liner in an easy way. I really like the extra stability that the solid end gives me.

The product itself seems quite liquid at first, but when you apply it on your eyes, you can notice that it's actually very pigmented and not blotchy at all. It dries to a matte finish which I really love. It does not rub off easily.
I'm very happy with its true blackness, I really love the effect which I get after applying it on my eyes. 



Overall I am very impressed with this product and pleased with my decision to pick it, It's definitely a perfect liquid eyeliner which can be used easily by beginners of makeup.

 I would recommend it to anyone who likes a matte, easy to apply eyeliner.


PRICE- $5.99

AVAILABILITY- Available on Sleek Makeup website & at  Drugstores

COB RATING-  4.5/5
