A while back, I received some products from PAC Cosmetics and I’ve already reviewed their liquid eyeliners. In this post, I’ll talk about two kohl pencils – Intense Auto Kohl and Long Lasting Kohl Pencil. You can buy them at Amazon and pacbrushes.com.

When you get the opportunity to interact with the the legendary Mickey Contractor regarding all things makeup and learn about M.A.C’s Spring/Summer ’16 Trends, you do not miss that opportunity. I set an alarm to get up at 8.30, got ready and left home to meet the man at M.A.C’s Quest Mall store at noon. Unfortunately, the horrendous traffic let me down and I reached when he was mid-way into answering questions and decoding two SS’16 looks that he created. Thankfully, I was not too late and did manage to come back with a few tips from the makeup maestro.
Olay Total Effects Lightweight Moisturizer – Review
Do you know what the temperature in Kolkata is today? 40 degrees. Yes, a freaking 40 degrees in April! I shudder to think what it will be like in May and June! Usually, it is quite humid here so I can get away without applying anything on my face but now, it is not only blazing hot but also quite dry. The skin feels parched and I do need to moisturize properly. I’ve been trying out the new Olay Total Effects Lightweight Moisturizer and I’m so glad this product launched just in time to save our skin from our famous Indian summer!
Product Description
Recent Olay consumer research has revealed that Indian skin is oiliest between 20s-30s and more prone to ageing. Women in this age-group who have tried anti-ageing day creams in the past have found them too heavy or greasy for their skin for day-time use. In response, Olay scientists have created a breakthrough innovation, NEW Olay Total Effects Lightweight Moisturizer – so anti-ageing skincare no longer has to weigh you down!
NEW Olay Total Effects Lightweight Moisturizer is non-greasy, fast-absorbing and non-comedogenic, allowing skin to breathe throughout the day. It also contains SPF15 protection from the sun’s damaging UV rays using Olay SolaSheer technology™ – that doesn’t leave a sticky layer so skin feels weightless.
Price: Rs. 799/- 50 gms & Rs. 375/- 20 gms

Summer Makeup Look Featuring Kat Von D Lolita & ColourPop Coconut + Mini Reviews
A makeup look after a long time and in this one, I used two very popular products. Kat Von D‘s Lolita Everlasting Liquid Lipstick has reached cult status. Everyone raves about this shade and the texture so I finally gave in to the mania and got myself one. The other product is an eyeshadow from ColourPop and its called Coconut. I would have imagined something called Coconut to be a white or a brown color but ColourPop is not as unimaginative as I am so they created a bright peacock teal. Lets get down to the reviews first.
Kat Von D Lolita Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20)
I now get why this lipstick is so popular. The shade is described as a ‘chestnut rose’ and is a universally flattering color. On me, it is a light brown. It has a lightweight, mousse like texture, applies really well and settles to a matte finish. Gives good color coverage and the best part is that it does not dry out lips and you don’t feel uncomfortable. MAC’s Whirl, Spice and the more affordable Maybelline Lip Gradation Mauve 1 are close dupes though none of them are liquid lipsticks.
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow Coconut ($5)
I’ve become a fan of ColourPop eyeshadows. They are so well pigmented and have a unique texture. Coconut is described as a ‘bright peacock teal in a pearlised finish’. On me, the color looks more blue. The Super Shock shadows feel soft, creamy and kinda ‘wet’ to the touch and they are best applied with fingers. They blend easily though. The color stays for nearly five hours without creasing.
And here is the breakdown of the makeup look.
Eyes – I’ve used Coconut on my lids and water line and a warm brown shadow from the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette on the crease. To highlight the brow bone, I used TheBalm Mary Lou-Manizer highlighter. Used the L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara.
Face – Mixed Bourjois Happy Light Foundation in Rose Beige with the Faces Illuminator in Champagne. I also dusted a bit of Mary Lou-Manizer on the cheekbones and used MAC Hipness blush.
