Amway Attitude Compact Powder REVIEW

RATING :- 4 OUT OF 10

The Amway Attitude Compact Powder is one of the compact powders that i am using of late. It comes in a brown case with an outer cover which is made up of paper and is brown in color too. The case is nothing fancy, very plain and simple, with an attached mirror inside and a puff. The best part of this compact is it got a sandalwood smell, and i like the fragrance a lot. It costs INR Rs 699.

I did not buy this myself, i got this as a gift from one of my relatives. As i like loose powder or translucent powder more than compact powder. Amway Attitude Compact Powder is in the shade Medium and matches my skintone. I usually do not apply the powder with the puff applicator which comes alongwith this powder, instead i use a large powder brush for smooth and better application. Puff applicators always make the application patchy when it comes to compact so i avoid.

Seriously i think this compact powder is very over-priced as we get Lóreal compact powder for just 399. Also there are no brownie points which i can give to the Amway Attitude Compact Powder as its a basic compact powder. Does not contain SPF too. Had it been with my own money, i would not invest it in this product. It does make the makeup look matte on the face for an hour or so, but one needs to reapply after every hour if he or she has got oily skin like me. I have not noticed any patchiness if you apply this powder lightly with a large powder brush.

Overall, this is an okayish product however its not worth the 699 price tag. Definitely i wont repurchase the Amway Attitude Compact Powder in near future.

Concealer hacks and tips for perfect makeup

Applying concealer in a proper way can make a huge difference to your looks. However, its always better if you are constantly looking for makeup tips to improve the way you apply makeup.

In order to get flawless complexion, a few concealer hacks mentioned in this article will be of great help to you. So, if you ladies are interested to do your makeup right, please go through the concealer tips and tricks mentioned.

Apply foundation before concealer – Many of us make the mistake of applying concealer before applying foundation, but then this is not the right way to do makeup! Always use foundation before you apply concealer. This way, it will be easier to blend in the concealer and also you would need only a little of the product. However, if you apply concealer first and then foundation, then the concealer will get removed due to the next application.

Layering concealers – If you got redness on your face or have acne issues, the best concealer trick is to apply a bit of  green concealer on top of the marks before you put on your usual concealer. For under eye circles, go for peach or salmon colored concealers. And for uneven skin tone, nothing will work better than yellow concealers.

Right consistency of concealer – Choosing the perfect shade of concealer is not enough for concealer application. One of the best concealer hacks is to understand the consistency of the product. For under eye circles, liquid concealer is the best. Even a creamy concealer would work fine. Since the under eye area is very delicate, just use the ring finger to blend in the concealer. For other areas of the face, use a stick concealer.

Illuminating the eye area – When it comes to dark circles, we generally apply concealer horizontally. But if you really want to brighten up the eye area, apply the concealer in an inverted triangle shape, with the peak of the triangle on the apples of your cheeks and the base near your lower eyelids. This will draw attention to your eyes.

Base for eyelids – If you are going for a barely-there makeup look or a nude makeup look, concealer is very important in the makeup routine in that case. Just apply a tiny bit of concealer on your upper eyelids and that will hide any eyelid veins or redness. But if you are going to put on eye shadows on your eyelids, then don’t apply any concealer on your upper eyelids as otherwise that will lead to creasing.

Defining the brows and lips – Concealer comes to aid when you really want a defined lips and eyebrows. Or even if you want the perfect cat eyes look. To create sharp precise lines, apply concealer on top and bottom of your brows. Similarly after applying lip colors, go over the edges of your lips with a concealer, to get a very neat look. Also to correct any mistakes if you have done while drawing cat eyes, concealer will help tremendously. You can take concealer in an angled brush and apply it on the particular areas which need coverage.

Liquid foundation as concealer – You can use your liquid foundation as a concealer too, in case you ran out of concealer. However, one of the best makeup concealer hack is to apply the foundation as concealer and let it sit on the skin for a few minutes before you start blending it in. Put the foundation in dots on the areas which need to be concealed and let it sit for around 5 minutes, and then start blending.

Depuff eyes – One of the best uses of a concealer is that it can instantly conceal puffiness of the eyes. Just mix eye cream with concealer and a bit of highlighter and apply it on the brow bone areas, on the under eye areas and temples. That will reduce the puffy look on the face.

Prevent creasing around the eyes – If you want to prevent creasing, just apply the concealer on the skin, by making sure its of the same temperature as that of your skin. If you still face creasing issues, take a tissue and get rid of the excess oil around the eye area, and then apply concealer as you normally do.

Nude lips look – If you want a gorgeous nude lips look, its always possible to apply a favourite concealer on top of the lipgloss or lipstick you are wearing, and get the nude lips.

I hope the concealer hacks mentioned above, help you to get the perfect makeup done everyday and achieve a gorgeous beautiful look easily!

Bottega di Lungavita’s Vita Age Prestige Face Serum with Colloidal Platinum Review

RATING :- 3 OUT OF 10

Today i am going to review another skincare product from Bottega di Lungavita. Its the Vita Age Prestige Face Serum with Colloidal Platinum. It contains 30 ml of the product and costs INR 2250.

What Bottega di Lungavita claims about the Vita Age Prestige Face Serum with Colloidal Platinum ? : Exclusive face and neck concentrate enriched with Colloidal Platinum created for the deep-down hydration of the driest and stressed skins. Skin regains its freshness, elasticity and softness. Not greasy, its an excellent make-up base for all skin types. With its delicate fragrance and velvety texture it ensures an extremely pleasant sensation.

How to use Vita Age Prestige Face Serum with Colloidal Platinum ? : Apply on face and neck and massage delicately. Partner with VITA-AGE PRESTGE  Face cream and VITA-AGE PRESTIGE Vials Treatment for a softer, moisturizing and more supple skin all day long.

Ingredients : Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Ammonium Dimethyltaurate, Lauroyl Lysine, Isohexadecane, etc.

Now coming to the results or the effects part after using this Vita Age Prestige Face Serum with Colloidal Platinum. Its a white serum with a great fragrance and absorbs very fast on the skin. Hence as mentioned by Bottega di Lungavita, this can be used as a makeup base. Well it moisturises well as mentioned by the company, and thats all. I wont say its an anti-ageing serum nor does the company claim anything about it. However when i bought this online, i got it in the anti-ageing section. But after using it i know it does nothing to take care of the skin except acting as a moisturiser or makeup-base.

Definitely not happy with Vita Age Prestige Face Serum with Colloidal Platinum. If i had to buy a moisturiser i would not be spending 2.2k and buying this. Similarly if i wanted a face primer, i would not be going for this. Dissapointed, yes!
