Corallista Makeup Blog

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 Matchmaster Foundation

My favorite party/special occasion foundation is MAC Matchmaster Foundation. It doesn’t have a heavy, full coverage but the medium coverage it provides is enough for me. I love the natural, semi-matte finish and the shade 03 matches me fairly well! It retails for Rs 2100, you can read my full review HERE.

5 favorite Beauty Products from Delhi Trip

Hey everyone!

As most of you know I recently went on a week long trip to Delhi. While I had prepared my skin care kit well, anticipating dryness (as compared to how my skin normally feels in Mumbai), my skin became dull and dry within a day of reaching there. My supposedly ‘heavy’ moisturizer did nothing and I could see white flaky dry skin on my chin and nose from the second day onwards.

When I went to the store to pick up a new moisturizer, I was thoroughly confused, I’ve never had dryness really and that is when my eyes landed on Nivea (white) Soft creme (Rs 79) ! I had used this a lot when I was young (my entire family used to use this and the blue one) and this was my savior the entire week!

Another product that worked wonders for my skin was Vichy Purete Thermale Softening Exfoliating Cream (Rs 850). It is expensive but is so so good! My skin feels  soft and so so smooth after a week of using this.

Hey everyone! I’ve not been keeping well since the past few days. My throat has been troubling me and the wet rainy weather in Mumbai hasn’t been helping either! I decided to do a look today with some bright cheerful shadesand this is how it turned out -
