Comparing Eye Liner And Eye Powder Duo

 Eye Liner And Eye Powder Duo 


Whether you love applying make-up or you don't like a plan too much make up there is one makeup product, that almost all women like and use on a more regular basis, yes I'm talking about the ever-essential Black eyeliner and eye-brow powder or pencil.

These two products are quite popular make a product for school goers two college students working women housewives alike. These two products often go hand-in-hand and the kind of interchangeable. What I meant to say is a lot of time we tend to apply the eyebrow pencil on our eyelids as eyeliner or the eyeliner on the eyebrows in lieu of eyebrow-defining product. This happens because of a lot of time. This also happens because of hotch-potch. This may happen because a lot of time we are either in hurry or we don't have both the products handy. So we kind of interchange one with the other. 

Does it work interchangeably?
The answer is mostly NO as both the products have different pigmentation and depth. While eyeliner pencils are mostly thick in nature, eyebrow pencils are light. Sometimes you end up having heavy box eyebrows. Sometimes the pencil is not adequate for hot weather. Read more to know more.

Multi-Utility products v/s Palette products

I am a fan of multi-utility make-up products, especially palettes. So it’s quite idealistic to have two very popular make-a-product eyeliner and eyebrows together. As it’s convenient, Handy, and can avoid interchange usage which might not be a great idea. 

Unfortunately, very few brands have got this trick together and that is the reason why very rarely you will find an eye bro an eyeliner do you DUO? Thankfully I have found two brands, that are Smart enough to have this product available. These two brands are my favorites MyGlamm and Swiss beauty. And I’ve been using this product for quite some time. 


In fact, when I searched YouTube asking eyebrow pencil and eyeliner duo DUO there were very few results except for these two products which are already my favorites and I am using. However, there were no other videos on comparison or listing of eyebrows and eyeliner pencil DUO as such. At least on the top pages. And that further motivated me to make this video. As I am already using both the products and like both of them I thought why not share this with my YouTube family and all the viewers out there who cares to watch honest reviews from this humble small Blogger? 


Swiss Beauty Duo or Myglamm Duo? Which is better?


Do check out this detailed video talking and comparing both the products duo.


You can also watch this video on my YouTube Channel- Ekta Khetan

Haute Kutir Verdict

I have tried both the products thoroughly over time. I have been using this two products primarily for the last few months. They both are indeed good. However, both have one limitation. For example, the Swiss beauty eyeliner which is in a gel Kajal form can get quite tacky if you're wearing it in sunny are hot weather. It might merit and smudge around your eye area giving a messy look. Also carrying the brush additionally while you travel could be cumbersome. And that's where MyGlamm Duo comes in handy. It is a small tube that you can carry anywhere and use without the hassle of getting a separate brush. The liquid eyeliner has higher hot weather assistance than the gel one. The eyebrow powder could be a little tacky at times as it does not offer precision application like the brush applicator from the Swiss beauty duo does.


Cost-wise, the Swiss beauty duo it's far cheaper and more economical than the other one. The amount of product that you get in the Swiss beauty duo is higher than MyGlamm duo. 

MyGlamm duo is available in two different shades however the Swiss beauty duo is available only in one shade. 

In terms of hygiene, I think that the Swiss beauty Duo is better than the MyGlamm duo. 

So I have shared all the details experience and personal feedback for both the products listed here. You can make a pic depending on you are weather conditions, usage, and of course the budget. One good thing is that both the brands claim to be cruelty-free. Hence, giving them higher leverage and preference over their counterparts in the market. After all, when you are getting cruelty-free beauty why would you opt for otherwise? You should not. 

So once again a humble request to go cruelty-free for all your personal and professional requirements. After all, being human is not just about wearing T-shirts but also practicing cruelty-free ways, in all ways of life. Thank you for reading this blog. I really hope that you found my content helpful and relevant. In case you have any query questions or doubts, please feel free to ask them in the comment box below or on my social media handles.

Insight Foundation Ultra Thin Second Skin Review [with Video]

Insight Cosmetics Foundation

Hi, my blog readers,

We girls do love to make-up and are always on the lookout to find a good fit in a perfect budget. Of the late lot of Indian companies, especially the low-cost makeup Brands are making quite a buzz line in the market. There are quite some interesting yet affordable make a branch that are doing rounds in the beauty world. 

Once a brand is insight cosmetics. This brand has a lot of interesting looking make up products for quieter steel of price. Today's Post is it bout exploding one such product from this new and popular brand. 

Why foundation?

 The brand has a wide variety of makeup but we thought of trying the foundation as we all know the importance of good make a base and no matter what is your make up requirement, the foundation always comes in handy even if you're looking for no makeup look or natural finish makeup look this day. 

Hence the reason why a picked foundation from this makeup brand. Another reason what is the USP "of being an ultra-thin, Second skin, natural wear" foundation at a throwaway price. You know I love to keep my foundation light, hence I thought of trying this particular product from this brand.

 I have also bought a contour stick from this brand. In case you would like to have a review, do let me know. 

 Ultra Thin Second skin

 to give a fair chance, I have picked up two different shades Close to my skin tone from this brand. I have done a detailed trial Tuesday review and filmed it in a YouTube video format. Do check out this video for the details like pricing, shades I have picked, Application test, longevity, and more. 

You can also watch this video directly on my YouTube channel.

I hope you like this video and found this one useful. 


So I have tried this foundation for couple more times and here is my latest feedback depending on my experience thus far.

What I liked

1) form factor

2) pricing

3) Number of shares available

 What I did not like or think could have been better

1) pigmentation and coverage. While the shades are interesting, the pigmentation is not very desirable. It is not like that of a foundation but is more of a diluted BB cream. 

2) dropper efficiency that leads to a lot of product wastage.

 Haute Kutir Verdict

If you're looking for liquid BB cream for a daily kind of wearing, then this product is quite handy, and given the low cost, it is definitely worth giving a try. But if you're looking for a foundation per se then I must suggest that this is not for you. Given the low price, you can definitely try this product and if you like it, you can purchase it again. Would I buy it again? Probably or say mostly no.

MYGlamm LIT Liquid Matte Lipstick Review

Hi everybody welcome to my blog, in today's post, I am sharing a lipstick review Video. Where I am going to Swatch, review and talk about the LIT liquid Matt lip color from a very popular brand MyGlamm

MyGlamm is a cruelty-free Indian Beauty brand and they have around a hundred different shades under this lip color range. I would also be giving free lipstick to all my subscribers, I will tell the details during the video so do watch this video till the very end. 

I have picked around 10 different colors across the shed ranging from pinks to reds to Brown and some funky unconventional colors like grey n yellow. I really hope that you like this video, do not forget to subscribe to my channel hit the bell notification icon, and share this video with all your friends and acquaintances.

The lipstick retails at Rs 395 for a 3 ml Tube. You can take the survey on my Instagram page to get free lipstick. Also do check-in MyGlamm website for some interesting offers.


Watch this video on YouTube LINK

Form Factor

It comes inside a long plastic tube with a doe-foot applicator. The color comes inside a clear n beautiful plastic tube so that you can see all the colors clearly from the outside. The colors are true in nature as you get what you see and the beauty is that you don't have to apply multiple strokes but just one coat is enough. 

Few Things You Must Know

1) It is a liquid Matte formula

2) The colors are rich, vivid and pigmentation is high

3) Longevity is good

4) Since it is a Matte formula, it is not meant for dry and chapped lips. So prep up your lips before applying it if you have dry lips.

5) The pigments are deep, hence you can use any good #crueltyFree oil-based remover to wipe off it from lips or face [in case if u use it for face art].

6) It is a cruelty-free product and much better than a lot of non-cruelty-free products sold in the market.




My two favourite lipstick are OTP and hook up 

I also loved kitten fish. 

You can buy this lipstick directly from the MyGlamm website or any retail outlet.

Review of Insight Cosmetics Foundation

 


Hi all, as you know we have been trying different kinds of foundations these days, especially the budget foundations. Continuing the series, I have recently tried this brand-new foundation from inside cosmetics called the ultra-thin second-skin foundation. It is one of the cheapest foundations available in the market and retails at MRP of rs.175. 

I have heard a lot about this brand, hence, I thought of trying the foundation first. This foundation is available in four shades only. Out of the four, I have picked two shades namely warm nude and sun beige.

 I have recorded my experience, swatches of this product, live try on and experience-based feedback in the video for you to watch and learn more. 

Pl do check this video and let me know you are opinion/feedback on the same.

Lip and Cheek Tints. Two in One Makeup Review

"Two in One" Makeup

Who does not love makeup that has multi-utility?

there is a new makeup which is becoming very popular these days. Yes, I'm talking about the new lip cheek tint that is becoming quite popular these days. 

Oh, it is not actually a new concept but existing for quite some time. Historically, Women used to use their lipstick asked cheek blush as well. It is a very common practice and still holds valid. But get all lipstick to make a good blusher I really doubt. Hence this category of lip and cheek tint came into the picture that's my guess. 

Lip and Cheek Tints



Of late there are quite a few brands that are making late and check teams in different forms Factor and leaving some of the buyers in confusion. In this video, we are going to try some popular lip and cheek tint brands and see what works better in terms of formulation, Application, Pricing, Ease of usage, and overall value for money.

In one of my current videos, we tried and checked the various tints on different parameters including texture, form factor, pricing, color, and more.

 Do watch this video till the end and do not forget to subscribe to my channel. 


Products category- Tinted makeup

Types of formulations tried: Creamy, Liquid, and Mousse

Brands I have Tried





Bella Vita Organics
Just Herbs
Iba 
Lakme 9 to 5
Nykaa molten Matte Mousse
Earth Rhythm
MyGlamm tint

To know more, pl do check the video.

There are more such videos on my YouTube Channel! Do check them out here. I would really appreciate your feedback and time.

Haute Kutir Verdict

Two in one or multiple makeups at the cost of one is always good in terms of ease of usage, handiness, and cost. The category may be nascent or have select options, it, however, doesn't make any sense to invest a high amount in the product unless the usage and benefits are extraordinarily unique and appealing. Hence, the reason I tried and showed different products across the brand and price range. My favorite from the lot is of course- Myglamm's tint that I find really good. Since it is a cruelty-free brand, you can use it as a great alternative to otherwise expensive Bene-tint.

My humble suggestion is to go for a suitable shade from a cruelty-free brand.

One Brand Skin Care Haul Ft Bella Vita Organic | Skincare Chitchat & More

 One Brand Skin Care Haul


Holla My lovelies,
It's chill in the air and while we are loving the winter, our skin needs some extra TLC- Tender, Love, and Care.

I understand that following a full-length skincare regime might be tedious in the winters. Hence, I suggest emphasizing more on nourishing and moisturizing. 

When it comes to skincare, I prefer natural and cruelty-free.

I have recently done a one-brand Hall from a brand called Bella vita. Is it always mentioned that it's not just the design but the products are to use ours does matter as well? This time I try to pick different products from the same brand. I have never tried this brand and this is my first attempt experience with the same. There are a few products that I have picked from a wide range of products as available under this brand name. I believe this is an Indian brand that claims to have more natural ingredients that are paraben-free, sulfate-free, and free from cruelty and animals.

The Detailed Video

 in this video, I have done a quick call and swatches of the different products ranging from I cream to skin cream two miss seller water, Night Cream, Face pack, and a pack of perfumes for women.

Please do watch this video to have a better idea. 



I hope that you will like this video and find it useful.
If yes, pl do subscribe to me on YouTube.

The Products 










Haute Kutir Review: Since I haven't used this product a lot yet, my views on the same are restricted. The product however looks interesting, The packaging looks great and the price range is also not very high. I need some more time to understand their efficiency better. I would try to update you on an ongoing basis. Hence, request you to follow me on Instagram a check out my stories on regular updates as such. Besides, I have shared my first impressions in the video which I hope would be useful. So do stay tuned with my blog, YouTube channel Instagram and other social media platforms for more for the update. I so much love your constant support and care. Please do share any feedback or questions that you may have. 

Update: Here's a quick update on 2 products viz the Micellar water and Night Cream. The micellar water is not very effective, it does not remove makeup effectively. And the night cream is very emollient but disrupts skin and causes minor rashes. So, I would not recommend these two products to you. 

Thank you.

Stay Haute!
