Makeup Revolution has surely created a revolution with their huge range of good quality products at extremely affordable prices.They have some really amazing eyeshadow palettes and Mermaids Vs Unicorns is one of their newer ones. The palette does have a mermaids and unicorns vibe with some beautiful aqua shades on one end representing the mermaids and some gorgeous pink, navy, purple and grey shades representing unicorns.

Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stain in Rustic – Review, Swatch, FOTD
You know how sometimes the first impression of a product is really great but then you use it a couple of times and realise that it really ain’t that good? That’s what happened with me and the new Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stain in the shade Rustic. Liquid lipsticks are the rage right now but Indian brands have not really caught on to this madness except Colorbar and now Faces. Colorbar has had liquid lipsticks for quite some time now and the Kiss Proof Lip Stains are their newest launch. I was checking out their counter one day and liked the shades particularly Rustic, a beautiful brick red color. The SA told me that they have a great formula, not drying and stays on for a really long time. I was sold, paid Rs 900 and came home with it.
Whenever I buy a new lipstick, I have to try it immediately and I tried Rustic as well. I found the packaging tacky but loved the pointed leaf-shaped applicator that made it so easy to get into all the corners, the color, the intense pigmentation and the weightless feel. I did not really wear it for too long that day so I did not get to test its staying power or whether it made my lips dry. Based on my initial impression, I also recommended the Lip Stains to quite a few people who were looking for Indian options for liquid lipsticks. After that day, I did not wear Rustic for a while but when I did wear for the purpose of testing, I was very disappointed. And these are my reasons :
- The liquid takes a lot of time to dry so anything that gets in contact with your lips after you put it on will have an imprint of your pretty pout
- Once dry, it stays put but after a while, it starts to get flaky and crumbly and finally, peels off. I’ve tested this both with and without using a lip balm first and the result was the same
- Does dry out lips but then all matte liquid lipsticks do so I’m ok with that. Not ok with the peeling off bit!
- It does not survive a meal. Even a light one. What’s worse is that the color disappears from the center leaving you with horrible uneven colored lips.
- It does not justify the Rs 900 price tag
Colorbar has some lovely lipstick formulas but the Kiss Proof Lip Stains definitely need improvement. The colors in the range are beautiful but the formula is a complete let down. I’m not buying anymore.
Have you tried any of the Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip Stains? What has been your experience?
Cooking With Beer – Five Easy Recipes
Hiya everyone! I had asked on my Facebook page if you would be interested to know about recipes and you guys said yes, so here is the post. These recipes are very interesting because they all have a common ingredient – beer and they are very easy to make! Beer contains barley and hops so it imparts a subtle sweetness that accentuates the flavor of meat, vegetables, fish and even desserts. If you have never used beer in your food before, do experiment and let me know how they turn out 🙂
Thank you Molson Coors Cobra India for sharing the recipes.
Beer Batter for Onion Rings
- ¼ Cup. flour
- ¼ Cup. cornstarch
- ¼ Cup. beer
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. seasoning salt
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- 2 egg whites, beaten
- Onions, sliced as rings
Combine first six ingredients in a small bowl. Fold in beaten egg whites into batter. Dip onion rings into batter and then deep fry until golden.
Beer Battered Fish
- ¾ Cup. beer
- 2 eggs, separated
- ¾ Cup. flour
- ¾ tsp. salt
- 1 ½ tsp. vegetable oil
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- Shortening
- 25 to 30 pan fish
Let beer stand at room temperature until it goes flat (approximately 45 minutes). Beat egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, beat the beer, flour, salt, oil and egg yolks together until smooth. Fold in egg whites. Dip each fillet in the batter separately and then fry in melted shortening, about 5 to 7 minutes until brown. Turn and brown other side.
Beer Battered Fried Vegetables
- 2 Cup. all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ Cup. beer
- 2 eggs
- 1 Cup. milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Cup. vegetable oil for frying
- 1 carrot, cut into thick strips
- 1 onion, sliced into rings
- 6 fresh mushrooms, stems removed
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced in rings
In a medium bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups flour and beer with a wooden spoon; let stand for at least 3 hours at room temperature. Mix eggs and milk in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup flour, salt and pepper. Heat oil to 375°. Dip each vegetable in the egg and milk mixture. Next, dip the vegetable into the flour and seasoning mixture; finally dip the vegetable in the beer and flour mixture. Place the vegetables into the oil and fry until golden brown.
Deep Fried Beer Chicken
- 1 ½ Cup. flour
- 1 T. margarine, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 Cup. flat beer, room temp.
- 2 lbs. chicken, cut, washed and patted dry
- Oil for deep frying
At least 4 hours before cooking (can be done night before), mix flour, margarine, egg and sufficient beer to make a thick paste. Spread over chicken parts; cover and refrigerate. Heat 2” to 3” oil in deep fryer to 365°. Fry chicken pieces, a few at a time, for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Be sure to move the pieces around in the oil so they do not stick, but turn them carefully so the coating does not break off. Drain on paper towel before serving.
Easy Beer and Ketchup Meatballs
- 1-28 oz. bottle ketchup
- 24 oz. beer
- 1 ½ lbs. ground beef
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 onion, chopped
Preheat oven to 400°. Place the beer and ketchup in a slow cooker on high setting and allow to simmer. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder and onion, mixing well. Form mixture into meatballs about ¾” in diameter. Place meatballs in a 9 x 13” baking dish. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Transfer meatballs to the slow cooker with the beer and ketchup and simmer for 3 hours; sauce will thicken.
Tasting Sheherwali Cuisine At ITC Sonar
When a hardcore non-vegetarian girl received an invite from ITC Sonar for a tasting of pure vegetarian Sheherwali cuisine, her first reaction was “Sounds interesting but how do I have a whole meal without fish, meat, potato, garlic and onion??”. It was the first time she heard about the Sheherwalis, the Jain community from the havelis of Murshidabad and she spent some time researching on their history and their food. She got really interested and eagerly looked forward to her meal at the ITC Sonar Eden Pavilion.
The Sheherwalis have been living in Bengal for almost 300 years. The Jain families who came to Murshidabad became a close knit community with their distinct culture, demeanor, style, food and way of living. They adapted to their new environs, and migrated to a new lifestyle in empathy with local customs, practices and values. The love of food, especially all things sweet, is an accurate label for any Sheherwali. Food features prominently in this community, evolving passionately through their 300 year history in Bengal. Sheherwali cuisine is a vegetarian’s paradise, in which Bengali meets Rajasthani, Afghan, Mughal, Awadhi and several European culinary practices making it a unique mix of ingredients and flavors that tantalizes the palate.
