Renee Liquid Lipstick mini Combo of 9 Review- Lipstick at Rs. 75

 I recently tried RENEE stay forever matte liquid lipsticks combo. I have reviewed each shade with their uses and in the last I mentioned my favourite lipstick shades. So let's review it.





It retails for Rs. 750 in India which is everytime on 10% discount and I got it for Rs. 675. It consists of 9 lipsticks so each lipstick retails for Rs. 75 only.  

Lipstick contains of 1 ml of quantity which is quite less for a mini lipstick. I found the packaging classy and very easy to store. It has a runny consistency and takes some time to dry but the color payoff is bang on.

Lipstick Combo consists of very diverse shades including pink, red, brown and nude lipsticks. It will compliment almost every skintone , I have a wheatish skintone and every shade looks good on me. Few light shades can wash you off if you are on the darker side. 


                             


Pros and Cons: 

If I talk about Pros of Renee lipsticks combo - It lasts all day long on your lips and survives all the food and drinks.
You get to try different shades on your skintone in an affordable price and then you can buy your favourite renee lipstick in bigger size. Price is also affordable for 9 liquid lipsticks and that too from a good brand. 

If I talk about cons the biggest problem for me is that although renee liquid lipsticks are matte it is not transfer-proof and it transfers on anything I eat or drink but still it stays intact all day. So I will suggest blotting lipstick on a tissue paper after applying or applying powder on your lipstick to make it transfer-proof.

Quantity is little less for a mini size, 2ml would have been better. But I am using these for quite some time and I didn't finished any of them yet.


Shades of Renee: 

  • Nude Lipsticks- It has 2 light shades- 




    Eclipse
    - It is peachy pink nude lipstick and is a unique shade, great for everyday use. It will suit all skintones and is my go-to shade.

    Enigma
    - It is a light pinkish nude shade. It can wash dark skinned people. 

  • Pink and Purple Lipsticks- 




    Serene - It is a light mauve pink lipstick, complimenting lighter skintones more.

    Bliss - This is great pink lipstick which will suit everyone. It is not very dark not very light, just perfect.

    Aurora - It is a bright pink lipstick, not for everyone.

    Magic - It is a mix of pink and purple lipstick and is a very bold lipstick. It looks great with bright Indian wear dresses so great for weddings. 


  • Red Lipsticks - 

                               

    Rare - It is a very bright red lipstick with pink undertones.

    Muse - I love this red lipstick, it is a darker red lipstick than rare. 


  • Brown Lipsticks -  

                              

    Mirage - This is a light brown lipstick with orange hints which I alsolutely love. It looks great with Indian wear.

    Oasis- This is a darker brown bold lipstick, a great night shade and will suit everyone.


My favourite shades are Mirage, Eclipse and Bliss. You can go ahead and buy just a single lipstick if you want which retails for Rs. 149 at discount and has double quantity.

To Summarise, I think it is a great deal and perfect if you are college or office going and you like to try different shades. You can also gift it to your loved ones.

Easy Soft Black Smokey Eye look || Why your Eye look mess up and solutions

Hey guys so this is my first makeup look post and I thought what's better than a classic smokey eyes. 
So I have created this soft black smokey eyes and you can do it too with these very easy steps.


STEP-1 

Firstly apply concealer on your eyelids and set it with a powder, avoid any creases.

STEP-2

Apply any kajal in one third eyelid, you don't have to be precise. 

STEP-3 

Take a black eyeshadow and pat on the kohl area and blend on the same area, do not go above that.

STEP-4

Take dark brown eyeshadow in dense blending brush and blend the edges of kajal. Deposit the dark brown colour just above the edges of black and blend well.

STEP- 5

Take a lighter brown shade and deposit in the crease area and blend with the darjer brown shade. 

STEP-6

Take a clean big blending brush and run in the edges and all over the lid lightly to get a seamless blend.

STEP- 7

Apply kajal in lower lashline and smudge with brown shade using a pencil brush.

STEP- 8

Lastly add some pop of shimmer or a coloured eyeshadow on the inner corner and below browbone.

STEP- 9

Complete the look with some mascara.

And you are done it is very easy. To make it more intense you can put kajal on half eye lid or slightly above and blend it with brown eyeshadows.


Reasons why your smokey eyes does not look good and solutions-


  • Your black eyeshadow is not pigmented enough - use kajal underneath to avoid this.

  • Using big blending brush for every color - use small brush for more concentrated blending.

  • Taking dark colors above the crease line - use lighter shades for crease line to give a gradient and blended look.

  • Overblending - do not mix all the colors by overblending as it can look messy. Blend 2 colors together at a time.

REDS

1) WET N WILD - Missy and fierce

This is a very beautiful blue based red shade which will compliment every skintone and almost every outfit. I absolutely love the formula very light weight and long lasting. This is a must have in your collection.
This is the most expensive of all lipsticks but you can easily grab it for under Rs 300.

2) BLUE HEAVEN ELEGANCE LIPSTICK- 07

Price- Rs 105. Sale price- Rs 85


This is a burgundy maroon shade with pink undertones looks very pretty on every skintone. Formula is good and so is the price.


3) BELLA VOSTE LIQUID LIPSTICK- Dark fawn

Price- Rs 300. Sale price- Rs 150


It looks more brown and rusty than it is looking in pic

This is a reddish brown shade with strong orange undertones, very festive kind of shade, pigmentation is bang on. This again will compliment every skintone and every festive outfit. Formula is also great and it is available in every site. I will suggest to buy it only if on sale.
You can check out other colors from this range there are some good shades.


PINKS


4) BLUE HEAVEN ELEGANCE LIPSTICK- 08

Price- Rs 105. Sale price- Rs 85


This is fushia pink color very bright pink. It will instantly brighten the face but not an easy color to carry. Again it will suit every skintone and very festive kind of colour.


5) PURPLLE LIQUID LIPSTICK MINI- My first gossip- 20

Price- Rs 200. Sale price- Rs 100-150


This is a very pretty subtle pink, easy to carry. It might look nude on deep skintones. Formula is something I am not a fan of just apply very thin layer but colors are good in this range. 


6) NY BAE LIP CRAYON- Danger strike zone

Price- Rs 149, always on sale


So I want to give you guys every option so included a lip crayon. This is a pink with purple undertones. Not much long lasting but comfortable on lips.

ORANGE


7) LAKME FOREVER MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK- Nude twist

Price- Rs 299. Sale price- Rs 220


This is my go to color, orange with peach undertones. It will look more nude on deeper skintones and more orange on fair. Formula is good too. It matches with almost every eye look and outfit just go for it without thinking twice. 

8) NY BAE CREAMY MATTE LIPSTICK- Hotchester

Price- Rs. 125, always on sale


This is true orange shade with no other undertones. It might wash out very deep skintone girls. Formula is very creamy and bleeds so dap it with some loose powder to make it matte and long lasting.

BUY LINK- purplle


9) BLUE HEAVEN ELEGANCE LIPSTICK- 01

Price- Rs 105. Sale price- Rs 85


So you must have realised that this is my favourite range. It is kind of blend of red and orange so good for people who do not like to use straight up orange shades. 

BROWNS

10) ELLE 18 MATTE LIPSTICK- choco bite

Price- Rs 75

This is the cheapest lipstick in all. It is a good lipstick with okay pigmentation but very creamy so use loose powder. It is a pretty light brown shade but has a lot of fragrance in it.


11) NY BAE LIQUID LIPSTICK- Tame the charging bull

Price- Rs 175, always on sale


This is the darkest lipstick straight up brown with purple undertones, will give you a gothic look. Pigmentation is very good but formula is very drying so apply a good layer of lip balm or go with the new formula which is Ny Bae moisturizing liquid lipsticks.

Biotique Hair care and Body care products honest review || Affordable skincare ||

Welcome to my blog Beauty with Soumya. Since biotique products are very affordable I have tried many of them. There are some gems in them but some of them just did not worked for me.
You can easily get them with 20-30% discount online.

So, here's a quick review on 4 biotique body and hair products.

1) Biotique Bio Kelp Protein shampoo for Falling Hair- 

Price- Rs. 99 for 120ml


As it claims biotique protein shampoo for falling hair, reduces some amount of hairfall but makes my hairs really dry and crunchy. It makes the hairs dry even while washing which tend to breakage of hairs.
I will not suggest it to people with dry scalp and dry hairs.

2) Biotique Bio Walnut Bark Voluminizing shampoo for Fine and Thinning hair- 

Price- Rs. 99 for 120ml

                                 Note- I threw my bottle

Biotique walnut bark Voluminizing shampoo makes my hairs less dry than the bio kelp protein shampoo and leaves my hairs soft. But I did not saw any noticeable volume on my hairs or my mom's. 

You can give biotique shampoo a shot it might work for you. I will suggest to buy small bottle first.

3) Biotique Bio Papaya Visibly Ageless Face wash-

Price- Rs. 110 for 100ml


Biotique bio papaya face wash has scrubbing particles which are extremely small and gentle on the skin. It cleanses the skin very well and does not leaves my face very dry. I can't comment on the ageless factor as it claims. 
Biotique bio papaya face wash will suit all skin types. Also it is not a substitute for scrub.
Since it has scrubbing particles I will suggest to use it only once a day.

4) Biotique Bio Honey Cream Rejuvenating Body Wash- 

Price- Rs. 180 for 190 ml


Biotique honey cream body wash cleanses the body well and leaves the skin hydrated and soft. But it does not have any prominent fragrance so If you like your body washes to smell like heaven then this is not for you. But If fragrances give you a headache then it is worth trying.

5 Pink lipsticks for Summer for all skintones || Pink lipstick swatches on medium skintone

Welcome to my blog 'beauty with soumya'. So as the summer has already approached I thought of sharing the pink lipsticks I have in my collection. Pink lipstick gives great summery vibes and does not look too over the top.
I am going to show you lip crayon, liquid lipsticks and bullet lipsticks for all skintones.



1) Purple HD matte liquid lipstick : 20 - my first gossip

This is the most beautiful pink I have in my collection. It is kind of baby pink with high pigmentation.This is a matte lipstick but the formula is something I am not a fan of.
I have mini lipstick which retails for Rs 199 and big size retails for 499.

2) Ny Bae lip crayon- shade 27- Danger strike zone

This is one of the most affordable lip crayons. It has strong purple undertones which dusky skin beauties can rock. It is not completely matte and lasts for decent amount of time. It is not retractable which wastes a lot of product.
It retails for Rs 149 but on sale you can grab it for around Rs 110


3) Blue Heaven Elegance matte lip color- 08

This is great lipstick for Rs 105, matte and comfortable and lasts 5-6 hours. This is a bright fuchsia color which instantly brightens the face. This range has some more bright pinks to explore but all look almost similar.


4) Ny Bae super matte lipstick- shade- 12 Passionate Pamela

This is a nudish pink with peach undertones, great for everyday or minimal makeup. It is matte but not transfer proof so wears off after eating oily food. 
It looks nude on fair skintones and more pink on medium and dusky skintones.
Retails for 149 but on sale you can grab it for around Rs 110


5) Romantic Beauty- shade 05

This is pure bright pink color, creamy matte in texture, has a sweet scent and lasts decent 4-5 hours. I bought this from local store for Rs 180 but you can definitely get it for much cheaper price. 
These kinds of pinks can wash off dusky skin beauties.

TEXTURE

Blue Heaven Elegance matte lip color is a liquid lipstick which dries in seconds and gives completely matte finish. It can be little drying for dry lips' people so lip balm is a must. Layering the lipstick after drying makes it patchy so have to work fast.

Types of outfits to hide bellyfat / tummy || Latest Fashion trend outfits to look slimmer

Welcome to my first fashion blog of 'beauty with soumya'. If you are a fashionista like me then this is the blog for you. Today I am going to share some outfit ideas which you can use if you have a belly fat or you tend to gain tummy frequently. These are some tips which you should keep in mind while shopping. I am not a fashion designer but these are the things I use which work amazingly well for me.


Generally stomach is the first area where fat of our body shows so most of us easily gain belly fat. It takes a lot of time and hard work to loose weight but if you are conscious about your tummy you can use these styling tips to look slimmer and stylish instantly.

In this fashion blog I am going to show outfit ideas in every category of clothes which you should keep in mind while buying clothes, also sharing some of the latest fashion trends. I also attached some of my pictures to give you an idea.


1) JEANS AND JEGGINGS-   

A high waist jeans is a raging fashion trend which is great for people with belly fat because it covers the tummy making us look slimmer. It gives our body a good structure looks extremely stylish with crop tops without showing much skin. A high waist mom jeans is must in your closet.

A stretchable jeggings is also trendy, it is high waist and does not hugs the body too tightly giving a casual yet fashionable look. 

pic reference- wearing a high waist jeggings

2) SKIRTS- 

Replace straight fit skirts with flared high waist skirts of any length of your choice, preferably ankle length skirt as it is in fashion trend. High waist flared skirt styled with a fitted top tucked in with boots gives an extremely stylish look. You can also wear long skirts which give ethnic yet stylish look and style it with some silver jewelry but these are not much in fashion .


3) TOPS- 

Peplum tops and empire tops are trendy which defines the waist just at the right place and gives a flared look around stomach. Also balloon style tops looks stylish without giving a bulky look. These can be worn with any type of jeans not necessarily high waist. Also A-line tops which fits from the bust area and open around stomach area looks classy and hides belly fat.
Any top which has broad elastic around stomach area can also be worn.

Off shoulder and cold shoulder tops are a great way to seek attention on the shoulders and not on our stomach and always in fashion trends.

Pic reference- left- balloon style top with elastic at the bottom
Right- broad elastic around stomach

4) CROP TOPS- 

Choose crop tops which ends just above the jeans and not too short. It will ensure that you do not show your tummy. Wear crop tops which are not too short or body hugging.
If you tie knot in your normal t-shirt to make it crop, do the same without showing much skin. Simple tips can make your basic dress look extremely stylish.


5) DRESSES- 

Choose the dress which fits you below your bust area and then flows. For this wrap dresses are great option and looks extremely fashionable and cute. Also A-line dresses and t-shirt dress looks great.
Wear dresses which has belt around waist or you can add a broad waist belt to any dress.
Avoid bodycon or body hugging dresses.

6) OVERALLS- JUMPSUITS AND DANGREES-

On the same note, use overalls which are high waisted so hides your tummy well or has a belt or elastic around waste area, as shown in the pictures below. 
Avoid wearing crop tops with a dangree as side fat can be visible.

7) PANTS AND TROUSERS- 

Avoid pants which are too baggy around stomach as it can make you look bulky, instead wear trousers or pants which fits around waist and also high waisted to cover belly.
