Nars Audacious lipstick – Anna

With NARS as a brand it will always be smart, elegant and fashionable, not just the quality but the packaging itself looks luxurious. This time Nars launched its audacious range lipsticks including 40 different shades on their 20th Anniversary. Whole blogosphere went insanely crazy and kept on raving on blogs, youtubes, instagram etc. A lipstick lover in me could not able to hold back that urge and finally placed order. It is no doubt very expensive i.e. 32$ USD exl. tax but I swear it is one of the best formula I came across so far.

MAC Matte Powder Blush “Harmony”- Review and Swatches

I was in search for good bronzer cum contouring powder; I saw many makeup artists/youtubers use MAC Harmony for contouring. I tried at store just in case to see if it’s really showing on my skin tone, the soft and subtle effect it gives is easy for daily use. I love the soft shadow it creates under my cheekbone and jaw line…I was actually looking for a good bronzer for a long time, tried many but nothing impressed me, I tried Benefit Hoola but that was too light for my liking. I need something which is less orange and balanced for Indian skin tone, something which looks natural on skin. I wanted to pick TBS honeycomb bronzer but damn we only have shade 1 and 2, and both were not showing up on my skin tone. MAC harmony definitely a multi-usage product; one can use it as contouring cheekbones; jaw line and nose, also as an eye shadow on crease as transition shade etc.
