Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Perfecting Compact| Review, Swatch, Price
Hey guys, today I am back with another review. Today, I will be reviewing the newly launched pressed powder by Maybelline, which is the Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Brightening Compact. Ah, a mouthful!
If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook then you might have seen a photo of this compact I shared and told you that I was trying it out. After trying that for almost half a month, I am finally ready with my review.

Maybelline recently launched their White Superfresh compacts that they claim to keep you fair and fresh for 12 hours. The compact comes in three shades- Pearl (for Light to Medium complexion), Shell (for Medium complexion) and Coral (for Medium to Dark complexion). When I was asked to chose my shade, I was a bit confused so I chose Shell which is the medium shade. I was not sure about it because I don’t really like my compacts to be lighter than my skin tone. Let’s get into the review now-
Price- Rs 150/- (for 8 grams of product)

Packaging- The Maybelline White Superfresh compact comes in a cute white plastic packaging. It comes with a regular white puff and a mirror which comes in handy during touch ups. There is nothing extraordinary about the packaging.

Texture/Coverage/Staying Power- This compact has a very smooth finish to it. The powder is finely milled and does not look chalky. It settles into a powdery finish which you won’t like if you have very dry skin or uneven skin. It does not bother me because I have a combination skin type and I don’t use my compacts for coverage, I just lightly dust it to set my base makeup.

Blended

The White Superfresh compact gives a sheer to light coverage which again is okay for me as I already told you that I don’t use my compacts for coverage. It doesn’t give a good coverage but it definitely makes your skin look brighter. It instantly brightens up the entire face which gives an illusion of fairer skin tone. The presence of a mineral called Perlite in the compact causes that instant radiance to the skin. 

Coming to the staying power, I won’t say it lasted on me for 12 hours but it definitely lasted on me for 6-7 hours. For the oil-control part, I applied it at 8:30 am and went to the university, at around 12pm I felt a little oiliness around the t-zone so I touched up very lightly. I checked again around 3pm and observed some shine around my nose and forehead. I must state that I have normal to dry skin during this time of the year and combination skin during the rest of the year. I don’t think this compact would last on me for that long during summer. I would love to see how many hours it stays on me in summer. The brightening effect definitely lasts for a longer period of time. 
The company also claims that this compact contains UV filters that helps protect the skin for sun-damage. 
Ups-

  • Lightweight.
  • Doesn’t feel chalky.
  • Doesn’t look cake-y when applied.
  • Instantly brightens up the face.
  • Helps control sebum for at least 6-7 hours with touch ups. (varies)
  • Have UV filters.
  • Cute, travel-friendly packaging.
  • Comes with a puff and a mirror.
  • Inexpensive.
  • Easily available.

Downs-

  • Coverage could have been better.D
  • Does not stay for 12 hours as the brand claims.
  • Limited shade range.
Overall, I am impressed with the product because it brightens up my face instantly and effectively and also because it keeps oiliness at bay for a decent time. I don’t about others but I don’t really need my compacts to stay on me for 12 hours on a daily basis. I would suggest you to try this compact once. I am sure you will like it. 


Have you used the Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Perfecting Compact yet? 
For how long does it stay on you?

The alarm clock rings and before you can get accustomed to your surroundings, the voices in your head tell you to hit the snooze button.
For most, mornings can be a dreaded period. But it’s also the perfect opportunity to gather your thoughts before plunging headlong into the chaos that engulfs the outside world. If you manage to clear your mind and mentally prepare yourself for a great day, you’re going to make the most of it.

The Answer: Mindfulness

Most people switch to autopilot mode as soon as they wake up, where your brain instinctively navigates its way through the daily habitual patterns that you’ve established. In short, you’re able to go through your everyday routine without really paying any attention to what you’re doing.
Stray thoughts enter your mind, where they are entertained and nurtured. These musings tend to tire out your neurons, leaving you exhausted. The best way to avoid this, is to begin your day with mindful practices, where you’re focusing on what’s happening in the moment. Starting your day like that keeps you mentally prepared and relaxed for what’s ahead.
It might take a while to actually implement these practices, but try them out if you’re ever in need of a super-charged morning.

Light Meditation

As soon as you wake up, slowly sit up in bed, shut your eyes and breathe deeply. Focus on your breath and let any thoughts that enter your head stay in the background. Don’t try to eliminate them, just continue to focus on your breathing, and eventually, those stray thoughts will stop bothering you.

Even 5 minutes of meditation in the morning is like a shot of espresso. It’ll awaken your brain so that you can be fully aware of the next step.

Happy Melodies 

Right after your mental trip, slip on your headphones, spend at least 15 minutes listening to a couple of songs that infuse you with pleasant feelings. It’ll put you in a happy mood before you can begin to ponder any of the challenges that you might encounter over the course of your day. That way, you’ll enter a more positive state of mind and be able to enjoy your next activity.

Brisk Jogging

When you’ve had your fill of music, throw on your running gear and get out of the house. You can jog to a particular location and back, or map out a circuit and do a couple of laps around it. Try to perform this activity for a good 20 minutes, or until you run out of breath. You’ll increase the blood flow to your muscles, charging your limbs with energy.

Make sure that you’re wearing the right sports shoes, to avoid injury. Columbus shoes provide the best support to your heels while running, so if you’re looking to buy a pair, head over to rediff.com.

Spiritual Stretching

The final activity to wrap up this routine is yoga. All you need to do is find a great yoga guide online, and get started.

Learn the basics of this spiritual art form, and you can add the posture stretches to your morning routine. Yoga is like a culmination of all the previous activities; it involves focusing on your breath, being mindful, and physical exertion. It’s the best way to end your preparations and tackle the day that lies ahead.
This is just a basic rundown of what you can do in the morning to set the pace for the rest of your day. This entire routine shouldn’t take you longer than an hour, and it’ll leave you reinvigorated.
Remember to eat healthy and drink plenty of water when you wake up, so that your body stays energized. Follow these steps, and you’ll never have to fear the sunrise again.

I have been wanting to try their newly launched subscription service but could not get a chance until last month. So, I chose to order the November Subscription Box for myself. I received the box a couple of days back and fell in love with the products instantly. The box contains 2 full-size and 3 sample size products which are completely handmade, organic and cruelty-free. Let me show you what I got inside the box.

 1. Butter Creme Whipped Soap (Full Size) : This is something I have been craving for since their launch. A soap in the form of whipped cream is beyond amazing. I have not tried it yet but believe me, it smells divine! I will post a full-fledged review on this one once the testing period is over.

2. Vitamin E Hydrating Face-wash (50ml): This face wash is a treatment-in-a-bottle if you have dry skin. In winters, my skin behaves in an exactly opposite way than how it does in summers. It’s dry, flaky and extremely unhealthy during the cold months. I have been washing my face with this face wash ever since I got it and I can tell you that I am really loving it. It’s thick, lathers really well and keeps my face hydrated. Good job, Gia Bath & Body Works!
3. Oceanus Shower Gel (50ml): This one smells D-I-V-I-N-E! I had to write this in caps because I can’t make you smell is shower gel. It has a calming aroma that lingers for almost a couple of hours on me. I will definitely buy a full size of this once I finish this bottle up.

4. Yogurt Hydrating Face Mask (15gms): This is a face mask that supposed to hydrate your skin as you can assume from the name. This comes in the form of a dust that you need to mix up with rose water or normal water, make a paste and apply as a mask. I have not tried it yet bu I think I am going to love this.
5. Cuticle Butter (Full Size): This is, as you can tell from the name, is a cuticle butter that has a balm-y texture. As the description card says, it is made of shea and cocoa butter with sweet almond oil. I am yet to try this product but I am totally in love with the aroma. I will let you guys know my final thoughts on it very soon. 

So, this are the 5 products that I received in my first ever subscription box by Gia Bath & Body Works. I am really impressed with the selection of the products for this month’s box. You can book next month’s subscription box here

Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick- Pink Persuasion| Review, Swatch, Price| Cherry On Top Blog

Hi guys, hope you are doing well. Today, I am going to present to you a much awaited review. I think I have posted a sneak-peek of this about 3 months ago on my Facebook page but did not get a chance to write. So, I thought of posting it today. Today’s review is of one of my favourite lipsticks that is the Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick in the shade Pink Persuasion. 

If you guys know me then you must know how much I love lip colours. I don’t step out without putting my favourite lip color on. I mostly love matte shades but they usually tend to dry my lips out during the colder months of the year so I like to replace my matte lipsticks with the moisturizing ones. I make sure to apply the lipsticks that are creamy but not glossy. I found this range of lipsticks from Steer Wear that is perfect for me. I got the shade Pink Persuasion for me because when it comes to lipsticks I have an inclination towards pinks. You might have seen this lipstick in my Aplava Haul post. I have been loving this lipstick since then and have started using continuously from the beginning of this month. Now, let’s jump into the review-
Price- Rs 220

The shade, Pink Persuasion is a part of the re-launched range of Ultra Moist lipsticks by Street Wear. This range was primarily priced at Rs 180 but now it retails for Rs 220.

Packaging- The lipstick bullet is housed in a pretty, black, plastic packaging with a clear cap which has a pop-art print on it. This makes the packaging really attractive. The packaging somehow reminds me of The Balm packaging. I felt the packaging is not that sturdy. Plus, the lipstick does not complete go inside the bullet which I feel is really annoying because then there is a possibility of damage when you try to put the cap on.

Shade- Pink Persuasion is a very wearable rosy pink with a hint of coral. The subtlety of the shade makes it appropriate for any occasion such as office, party or dates be it daytime or night time. Because of the red undertone, it can suit every complexion very well.

Texture/ Pigmentation/Wear Time- The texture of the lipstick is very creamy. It glides on really easily and does not settle into creases. It moisturizes the lips really well thus it is perfect for those who have dry lips throughout the year. It’s a perfect pick for winter time as we tend to have chapped lips during this time of the year.

The pigmentation is surprisingly good for the price you pay. It covers up my dark upper lip well with 2-3 coats. It manages to give an decent finish on the first swipe. You can build up the colour for more intensity.

The staying power of this lipstick is also good for such a low price. It lasts about good 3-4 hours on my lips without eating and drinking anything.

Ups-

  • Universally flattering shade. 
  • Creamy texture that gives out a semi-matte finish after application.
  • Lightweight formula.
  • Moisturizes lips very well.
  • Doesn’t settle into creases. 
  • Decently pigmented. 
  • Buildable colour.
  • Has a decent wear time.
  • Available in stores and leading e-commerce sites. 

Downs-

  • The packaging must have been more sturdy.
  • I wish I had a longer staying power. 

Overall, I am happy with my purchase. It comes handy whenever I fail to decide on the perfect lipstick. It’s more like a tinted lip balm that feels light on m lips yet giving the right amount of tinge for an everyday look. For a tinted-lip-balm-and-mascara person like me it’s a best option that too within budget.

Embracing Winter| OOTD| Indian Fashion Blog| Sammydress.com| Cherry On Top Blog

Hello people, hope you are doing well! Finally it has started getting chilly outside and I feel it’s the time to transition into Winter or late Fall. The weather is a bit confusing- the days are hot and it gets colder after dark. It might not be the same throughout India, especially if you are living in a Metro city but in my area it is already winter. You have to keep something warm to get yourself wrapped into if you are travelling. It becomes very irritating for me to dress up like half-summer and half-winter!
Keeping the weather in mind, I teamed up a summer dress with a warm, cozy shrug to make the outfit more wearable for late fall or early winter. The royal blue dress is from Sammydress.com which I showed you in my recent haul. The material of the dress is very soft and comfy. I love how it emphasizes my body shape. Despite being a soft material it does not cling to my body which is a great thing!It has a pull string on the waist area. I feel it has the perfect length for my liking, not much above the knees nor below it. I feel this length makes me look taller. I am in love with this dress. I can totally see myself pairing this dress up with some jacket during the winter.

I chose a pair of black ballerinas to give the whole outfit a very casual look. The gold detailing on the flats are my favourite. I love how it makes the mundane black ballerinas something special. My sling bag has the same thing. It is black with beautiful gold detailing.

October Favourites| Makeup, Skincare, Tech| 2015| Cherry On Top Blog
Hello all, happy weekend! First of all, I want to say that I am deeply affected by the news of the attacks in Paris. My heart goes out for the families of the victims. Let’s pray for Paris and the entire World. Let there be peace on earth.

Finally, all the festivities are over (I feel so low writing this) for now, until Christmas and all of us are headed back to our works. So, I am back with a new post for you guys. Today, I am going to talk about my October favorites. I know I am a little too late for this. It’s mid-November and I am writing about my October faves. But, there is always an excuse (which I am not going to repeat again!). So, without further ado, let me show you the products that have made it to my list of favourites.

October Favourites| Makeup, Skincare, Tech| 2015| Cherry On Top Blog


1. Vichy Eau Thermale- (150ml for 650/-)

I got this product in May and I have been using it continuously since then. I use it so much that I think I am now totally addicted to it. Since it’s getting cold and dry, I had to put it aside but believe me, it’s a tough job! This miraculous spray has done a great job for me during those scorching summer days. It made my face feel fresh and rejuvenated every time I sprayed it onto my face. I am kind of addicted to facial mists now and the Vichy Thermal Water is the reason behind it. I am going to post a full review on it very soon. Don’t forget to keep an eye on my Facebook Page for updates! 
Price- 650/- for 150ml


2. Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water (200ml for 875/-)

If you are following this blog for quite some time, you must know that I had posted about the Kama Ayurveda Festive Gift Box for Durga Puja about a month ago. The box contained three full-sized skincare products which included the Pure Rose Water. This is perfect for you if you have oily skin issues. I have a very oily t-zone and the Rose Water has helped me controlling the oiliness around the area. I use it twice a day as a toner onto my cleansed face. As I told you earlier, I am a facial mist lover and this is certainly one of my favourites. Again, a full review on it is coming really soon. 
Price- 875/- for 200ml

3. Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Solution 

I used this product throughout the month of October to remove my makeup. It proved to be a saviour for during those festive days. I totally depended on this product. I just want to tell you that it did not worked so well for waterproof mascaras. It did remove it but not entirely. I have moved on to something new and it has already become my favourite. I have a full review on the Bioderma Sensibio H20 if you want to check out (click on the subtitle). 

Price- 599/- for 100ml

5. Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Unapologetic 

If you guys remember my Aplava Haul then you will know that this lip product was one of the items I got from that website. At first, I was a little skeptical about the shade because I thought it might wash me out but fortunately it did not. It goes really well with my complexion. I wore this like crazy during the Puja days. It has to be my current favourite lip colour. I had reviewed another shade from this range. If you are interested, you can click here to read.

6. Fame App

Now, on to the tech fave. The #Fame app has been my favourite ever since I did my first beam! I got an invitation from the Fame team to do some live beams (beams are just live streaming, nothing exceptional!) to which I readily agreed. As a blogger, the best thing that can happen to you ever is to chat with your readers and get their feedback, live! I did not want to miss the golden opportunity, so I created an account and started beaming. Now, I have been beaming for a month and a half and I am loving this experience. I am so glad and humbled that you guys are following me, liking my beams and appreciating my efforts. The #Fame app is available (free) both for Android and iOS. You can download the app here- http://dl.livfame.com/social. If you want to watch me live, my username is sayantinee. I would love to see you all there!
