Illamasqua @ Bloomingdales in Dubai

Now ain't that great news for Illamasqua fans?! 
Dying to go to Dubai,  *sigh* there's no place like home...

Christine Shimmering Paint

As soon as i saw this little paint pot i was in love with the color. An amazing peacock blue, one color i could never get tired of..... EVER! For some reason I'm really fascinated with blue eye makeup these days... This one was beautiful and affordable too (Rs200).

The label says: Christine Shimmering Paint-Turquoise 581. Glycerin based paint. Easily applied with a moist applicator, as an eyeliner, eyeshadow, body tattoo, or elsewhere on your body where you want to add color and shimmer.

What I say: The color is amazing and application is easy too. Really shimmery! Awesome for adding a dazzling touch for parties. The only negative thing I would say about this product is, to get a really darker shade you have to apply it a few multiple times.

 I tried this on my eyes, as an eyeliner at first and then as an eyeshadow. The eyeliner looked divine but i had to work a little harder to blend this one as an eyeshadow... loved both the looks, but i would rather stick to using it as an eyeliner, unless i feel a bit daring!
NOTE: sorry i couldn't post my pics with the eyeshadow and eyeliner on(pics came out really embarrassing). I will as soon as i get a good camera that could do justice to the pics.

Final verdict: I don't feel guilty buying this product. It wont stay unused at some corner in my makeup bag for sure. Multiple applications are a bit annoying to get the color right but otherwise go grab it!

What say?!

Stay Gorgeous,
Yummy Mummy.
