Corallista Makeup Blog

I love doing a red lip with a purple eye! I also like green eyes with coral lips.  What about you?

Face of the Day – Purple and Red

Read on for the breakdown of this look..

Hi everyone!

The month of April was a little low key for me as far as beauty products go. In the first 2 weeks, I traveled home for a few days so carried only basic stuff and natural shades with me. After coming back to Mumbai, I fell ill with viral fever and it was a period of no makeup and just face wash-moisturizer routine. So this month’s favorites mostly have the products I took with me on my trip, some summer skin care products and a lovely perfume!

My April 2013 Beauty Favorites

1.  Maybelline BB Stick (Rs 250)

I love this product! It is very quick and easy to apply, blends seamlessly and gives amazing coverage. What I love best is that it suits my oily acne prone skin very well and diminishes the look of open pores (pores become a major problem for me in the summers). I cannot say enough good things about this stick. Its the perfect thing to carry while traveling. You can see my full review/FOTD HERE.

2. MAC Matchmaster Foundation (Rs 2100)

This is my favorite foundation and the only one I carry on trips. I’ve gone through half the bottle already and would probably be the only foundation I will repurchase! Its a foolproof one for me, gives a natural medium coverage, semi matte finish and performs decently (though not excellently) on my oily skin. Best of all, it photographs well and doesn’t look like I’ve plastered on foundation. I wear the shade 3.0, you can read my rave review HERE.

MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation

MINERALIZE MOISTURE SPF 15 FOUNDATION (INR 2,250)

M·A·C expands its innovative collection of foundations with a gorgeous NEW formula full of extraordinary benefits. Its lightweight lush texture feeds skin instantly with mineral-rich nourishing hydration, all day long. The uniquely creamy fluid, ideal for dry skin, blends beautifully, featuring shea butter, emollients and conditioning extracts to keep the face soft and supple. Its combination of powders creates an optical blurring effect that virtually diminishes imperfections and fine lines for a more even tone.

Hey everyone!

Its been some time since I did a wishlist post (though not because there are no products on my list!). Today I’m sharing a few beauty products I really want to get my hands on ~

My May 2013 Wishlist!

1. Clinique Take the Day Off makeup remover ~

This comes highly recommended to me from a friend who actually works for a competing brand. I’ve heard great reviews and this is the next makeup remover I will be buying! Have any of you tried it out?

2. Moroccan Oil ~

My bottle of Kerastase Elixir Ultime (which I LOVE!)  is going to end soon and I’m looking for a new serum. I’ve heard great things about Moroccan Oil and I’m really tempted to try it out and see if it beats the Kerastase Elixir! I’m not sure where its available though, I think a few hair salon in Mumbai stock it. Any help regarding this is welcome, please drop me a comment below if you know where I can buy this in western Mumbai!

3. MAC Pro Lip Palette ~

I have my eyes on not 1, not 2, but 3 of these! These are priced at Rs 2300 each and I think that’s a great bargain for 6 MAC regular range lip products! Will probably buy just 1 though I’m eyeing Editorial Reds!
