A quick NOTD post featuring Elle 18 nail paint in 51.
Elle 18 nail pops are a cute little round bottle of color. Elle 18 nail pops in 51 is a beautiful coral shade. 
The pic below has three coats and the polish is still not totally opaque. 


NOTD - Elle 18 in 51




I would have preferred the polish to be a bit more opaque, but I am not complaining at the price. I had also previously posted a Elle 18 pops NOTD HERE. Elle 18 nail pops are good budget buys and a good way to add on to your collection. 

What are your favorite budget nail polishes ?

Review - Essence Gel EyeLiner in Berlin Rocks (03)


Essence Gel Eyeliner in Berlin Rocks (03)


Essence Gel Eyeliner in Berlin Rocks (03)  (no concealer, no mascara, no primer)


I see myself sporting color easily in the form of eyeliners. I wear different colors ranging from black, brown, grey, navy, turquoise, jade green, purple, plum, gold, copper, etc. Eyeliners are a quick and easy way to dress up your eyes :)

So lets get to the point, today I review 'Essence Gel Eyeliner' in Berlin Rocks (03). 
I really like this product. I love the texture, application, pigmentation and the longevity of the product. This eyeliner is waterproof, and stayed on me for more than 12 hours. The formula is super creamy. I cannot compare it with any high end gel eyeliners as I haven't tried any. But if I compare it with Maybelline, I definitely find this better on formula, staying power & price.


Likes
  • Waterproof
  • Stays on for long - does not budge at all
  • Super cheap (approx $6)
  • Pigmented
  • Creamy texture, glides on easily 


Dislikes
  • Does not come with a brush


I am pretty impressed with Essence Gel Eyeliner and I suggest all gel eyeliner lovers should give it a try (it doesn't hurt with the price). I will definitely be trying out more Essence products.


Have you tried out Essence cosmetics ? Which is your favorite of the Essence lot ?

Coral Crush

I have mentioned before on my blog, that I was only into nude and pink shades, and really my experiments with color have only started after I started blogging :) .. and boy am I glad :) 


Copper Coral, Crosswires & See Sheer from Right to Left




Copper Coral, Crosswires, See Sheer from  Top to Bottom


Today I have a post on my coral crushes featuring
  • Mac Lustre See Sheer : This is the simple, sweet and subtle shade of the lot . See Sheer is a lustre finish by MAC and hence sheer and glossy. This a peachy coral shade, perfect for everyday. A very easy shade to wear. 
  • Mac Creemsheen Crosswires : This I like to call as a colorful, cheerful n confident shade. To me, this is a perfect coral for spring n summer. I have really enjoyed wearing this all summer. The best is that this can be worn for both daytime and nightime looks. Check out the detailed review here
  • Estee Lauder Copper Coral - This is definitely, the big, bad and the bold shade  of the lot. This is without a doubt a perfect bold lipstick for a night out. This is the Estee Lauder Signature lipstick and is so moisturizing and long lasting. The formula is smooth and creamy and super shiny :) . Total love :)

Which are your current favorite coral lipsticks ? Have you tried any of the above lipsticks ?
