Blue Heaven Diamond Blush On Review (Shade 505)

Hi

I have been mainly concentrating on skin care products for quite some time. But today is the day as I review a pocket friendly product that is a perfect pick to highlight your cheeks for a glam look. Its none other than Blue Heaven Diamond Blush On that is a must-have in makeup kit of every woman. 
Product Claims:
Blue Heaven Diamond Blush On has a soft cream whipped formula that is long lasting and blends very smoothly with your skin.It feels virtually weightless and glides on quickly and easily giving a natural look to your face. Fresh jet milled colour builds to desired intensity. Long wearing and long stay true colors for hours.
Key Ingredients: Hydrated Magnesium Silicate, Kaolin, Zinc Stearate, Mica, Titanium Di Oxide, ISO Propyl Meristate, Phenoxy Ethanol, Methyl Paraben, Butyl Paraben, Ethyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Isobutyl Paraben, permitted preservatives and perfume.
Packaging: 
The Diamond Blush On comes in a black round packaging. And the top lid is made of transparent plastic so it makes easy to glance and choose the appropriate shade. There is an outer carton of cardboard which has all details printed on it including price, ingredients, usage method etc. The packaging is easy to hold and carry, so it can be taken with you while travelling. 
Price: Rs 125 Buy here 
Qty: 7 gms.
Shelf Life: 3 yrs.

My take on Blue Heaven Diamond Blush On:
The blushes have been recent addition in my makeup kit n an addiction to me. Earlier I was not so fond of them, feeling it needs great skills to apply and it may not go with my dusky complexion. I got to try Diamond Blush On by Blue Heaven in shade no. 505 which is a golden bronze mix shade. You can check the shade no. at the back side of the blush pack.
The blush is accompanied with a think applicator sponge that easily lifts the blush on it. The texture of blush is quite smooth. It blends evenly and doesn't show up patchy makeup signs due to its decent pigmentation. You get the desired shade in one or two swipes on your cheeks. 

This shade of blush contains tiny shimmery particles within that will instantly boost your party look. The shade is suitable to most Indian skin tones. As far as, staying power is concerned, I tried this blush while going for a friendly get together which lasted around 3-4 hrs in the night. The effect of blush beautifully complimented my ethnic look/outfit and it stayed on without fading all the time. 
I applied it to its soft tone so that it doesn't look awkward for my skin tone, but you may build up the color by layered application or by mixing with other shades. The only requisite is to blend it properly along your cheekbones and enjoy compliments for your pro makeup.

Not to forget, that the blush has slight strong perfume which I feel was not required or could have been diluted to milder one.

Pros:
Easy on pocket.
Travel friendly packaging.
Gives shimmery radiance to cheek for lovely night look.
Suited for most skin tones.
Smooth texture.
Decent staying power.

Cons: 
Wish the packaging can be improvised by adding a tiny mirror to it.  
Contains Parabens (which are there in most blushes). 
Perfume may be stronger for some.

Overall opinion:
Blue Heaven Diamond Blush On is a nice product ideal for intensifying your day look or evening party look. The light price tag makes the product even much better. The only con is that it has parabens which I usually find in the blushes of many expensive brands too. So I am satisfied to pretty good extent with the product.

Blue Heaven Soft Kajal Eye Liner Review

Product Claims: Blue Heaven gives you this blackest black eye liner that offers your eyes definition and instantly opens them up. The unique formula resists fading off and stays put on the skin for the better part of 24 hours. That means no inconvenient touch-ups.
The extra black and velvety color you get from this Soft Kajal gives your eyes an intense and dramatic look that is sure bring the focus to your pretty eyes. Accidentally touching your eyes won't affect the precise line that you draw as the special formula doesn't smudge or rub off.
Rain, perspiration or that splash of water - nothing can affect your glam look as the Blue Heaven Eye Liner is completely waterproof. Skin-friendly and Chemical-free ingredients Containing organic herbal ingredients, this kajal is gentle on your skin and doesn't cause any adverse effects as it is free from harmful chemicals.
Price: Rs. 105 for 0.31g
Available at Amazon, ebay, flipkart, homeshop18 etc.

Ingredients: Not mentioned

Directions For Use:
Starting from the inner corner of the eye, mark a neat stroke on the upper eyelid extending outwards. Repeat the same on the lower lid.

My Experience:
Blue Heaven Soft Kajal Eye Liner comes in a twist-up kind of packaging which is very easy to handle. The black color pen style kajal has the brand name printed at the rear end on a blue strip. The kajal has a black cap that shuts with a click on rotation and keeps the kajal tip safely locked inside.
The brand has incorporated a detachable sharpener at the rear end of the kajal pack that fits nicely and avoids getting misplaced. The sharpener makes sure that your kajal tip doesn't get disfigured and always retain its shape to give smooth stroke.
The kajal is decently pigmented. The texture is creamy but needs good handwork to draw precise line without tugging or pulling. Atleast two to three strokes of the kajal give perfect black shade I want. It settles on the waterline with slight effort but then stays upto three hours if not rubbed.

It is easy to remove with an eye makeup remover or cleansing milk. Though there is no ingredient details mentioned on outer carton or the kajal itself, but I felt no irritation or stingy itching in my eyes. The kajal cannot be considered as absolutely waterproof as it starts fading soon if your eyes tend to water.
Pros:
Soft texture.
Ease in application.
No irritation.
Efficient sharpener.
Gives desired black shade (but in multiple strokes)

Cons:
No ingredients mentioned.
Not 100% waterproof or smudge free.
Blue Heaven Soft Kajal Eye Liner is bit low performance kajal than other brands, but if you are looking for a kajal with lower price tag and want to create mystic look by merging this kajal with other products, its a deal to not to be missed.

Blue Heaven Xpression Nail Lustre (903 & 913) - Review & NOTD

Hello 

I love to keep my nails long and filed in oval mostly. There are rarely any reasons to convince me cut my nail short. There are days when I forget to color them for long and still like my hands, but then comes a moment when I want to give a final touch to my freshly manicured hands by applying some catchy or cool nail paints. I have been deeply longing for some untried shades of nail paints, when I got two gorgeous shades in my mail few days ago.. Excited who sent me those?? Read on...

Blue Heaven Cosmetics sent me two exciting nail paints from their Xpression range. These nail paints provide intense color to nails. The special features are non bleeding & non feathering formula that stays for days and no chip off. 

Ingredients: (not mentioned on the packaging)
Butyl Acetate + Ethyl Acetate + Isopropyl Alcohol + Tolune + Nitrocellulose + Resin + Steralkonium Hectorite + Dibutyl Pthalate + Camphor + Pigments And Pearls.

My take on the product:
The Xpression range of nail paint, which are referred as Nail Lustre by the brand, comes in a squared edged glass bottle. The transparent bottle lets you see the color and remaining quantity in a glance. The price, usage instructions and Expiry date is printed on either side of the bottle. The golden cap shines in the bottle neck that grips tightly and you would find the Shade no. on the top of the cap.
The applicator brush is made up of properly shaped bristles which gives full coverage in just one swipe except corners of nails. I found it comfortable to hold and use.
As mentioned above, I got 2 lovely nail paint shades in 903 and 913. 

Blue Heaven Xpression Nail Lustre - 903 is a bright orange color with mild cream finish as seen from the bottle which I found 'shockingly bright' in the first glimpse. But the temptation to experiment with new shade insisted me to apply it without any waiting. 

The nail paint is bit runny in consistency and brings out the actual opaque finish after 2-3 coats only. It dries up quickly and gives glossy finish without a top coat. The staying power is also decent as I can see my nail with no chip-off after 3-4 days of application despite all household work and washing my hands uncounted number of times.
I am feeling more confident to try such vibrant neon shades on my dusky complexion now that have brightened my summer look and gave a boost to my mood and spirits :) Now I know why is it a hit among youngsters these days ..

Blue Heaven Xpression Nail Lustre - 913 is one of the evergreen shade of fuschia pink that can be a favourite of most women and collegiate gals. The consistency of this shade is similar to other shade I have used. 
It seems squeaky in initial coat but smoothen as you swipe one or two extra coats. The color looks something on red tone in the bottle, but gives a different summery fresh appeal on application. It will suit all skin tones making your hands look fairer.
This is the kind of shade that need not match with your outfit exactly, but will add up its glow in contrasting colors with broad variations.
I am loving both the shades of Blue Heaven Xpression Nail Lustre equally for different reasons and for different seasons ;) At a pocket friendly price of Rs 70 each for net content 9 ml, its worth grabbing a deal. It actually stands its claims and now I am greedy for adding more shades to my collection :)
Where to buy:
All the shades of Blue Heaven Xpression Nail Lustre can be bought from Flipkart, Jabong, Shopclues etc.

Tell me which one did you like more? Do recommend me if you have tried any other gorgeous shade of Blue Heaven Xpression Nail Lustre..
