| Birthday haul and review |
Hi guys today i will be sharing my thoughts on products I've bought for myself on my Birthday which was in April but i haven't share it on my blog as i want to review them as soon as i can so i thought it is better to be a little bit late rather than forgetting to review them at all.
I have hauled mostly the high end products which is crazy as I love budget friendly products but it was my birthday so I thought I should gift myself at least one of the luxurious brand products like Chanel. I have done my major in textile and fashion designing and Chanel and Dior are the start of the fashion industry so it’s a dream to have something from their brand in my collection. Okay so I have Haul mostly face products from Chanel, Dior, Givenchy and Mac cosmetics and then I also ended up buying two Etude house lip tints.
Note: I have mentioned about all the ingredients and you can find all the further details on COSDNA which I have linked below with all the products ingredients.

At the starting i did not like this product at all but after using it in a several ways I like it and I have to say I used it quite a lot now. It came with a mirror as well so it is pretty travel friendly compact over all. When you open the compact it has a hard transparent plastic sheet on the top of the powder which will helps to keep the product in the place. The Chanel soft pressed powder does not have much of scent to it. The powder itself has a little kickback and it is lilac in color as a name says! This powder has more of a white base with the lalic and multi dimension tiny shimmer particles in it which makes it so pretty. It is more kind of a veil and does not have much of coverage on its own. My skin shade is mostly NC 25-30 which totally depends on my skin condition and weather and this does not look as pretty if I used it all over my face but I use it to highlight my face, it looks amazing and I think It can complement a lot more if you go for pink tone colors with it. It looks very nice and natural on the skin. It does not exaggerate the pores so I like it more for that. To get the beautiful inner glow and youthful glow, I will definitely recommend it. It is discontinued by Chanel but you can buy it from amazon or ebay if you are lucky enough as i coundn't find it in stock anymore.

Like a chanel the Dior bronzer also came in a luxurious packaging which means , it also have the same velvet pouch in which the product came and the compact is quite heavy and it does feel luxurious. The compact is brownish and has "CD" written inside the glassy layer of the compact with the Dior engraved on the top. It contains mirror and brush as well a hard plastic layer to protect the product and you get the 10g of product. I personally like the brush of Dior way better than the Chanel one, the bristle of the brush are softer and works way better.

| Dior Bronze Collagen Activ Spf15 Review |
The Dior bronze collagen smells like a detergent but a good one if that makes any sense. The formula of the Dior bronze collagen active is so smooth and soft, it is a powder formula but yet so soft and does not feel powdery at all, and there is no fall out. It blends out very nicely and naturally into the skin. The color is very nice and is not to warm or orangish and gives a beautiful natural tan to the skin. This one is highly recommended for sure. I just love this bronzer and even beginners can work with this Dior bronzer easily.
It is available at ebay.

| Mac Powder Blush Raizin |
I truly believe that you can pull off any shade and product if you only know how to wear it on yourself. Raizin Blush is describe as a golden tones reddish blush with a matte finish , it does feel little bit powdery and over doing with the application can make things complicated and it will be hard to blend so it’s better to go light handed with it. Over all I really like it and it’s not a bad blush at all. If you are brave enough to wear dark colors or like reddish tone blushers, I think it is a good one to go with.
Available at Mac stores.

This is my first ever time trying Givenchy and to be honest I am not very impressed. The packaging makes me want it so badly. The design of the lid has been changed but I always fall for square shape packaging and this one is so appealing to me because I like the concept of this product and color correcting is what I am all about and I thought its perfect time to buy myself one. Givenchy prisme libre powder has four different cubes like compartments join together and one have to mix them together to put it on the face. The shade I own is light pastel also known as mousseline pastel now.

| Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder Review |
This libre powder contains a light pink, light blue, pearl white and light green color. All of these have matte finish with a tiny bit if multi-color sheer shimmer which helps in making your skin glowy and under oil control at the same time. It perform pretty well on the part of mattefiying the skin but I don’t like how it gives a white cast and looks a little powdery even though on touching the skin it feels super soft. I think its not a great choice if you have dry skin or patches, the powder itself is very finely milled. Maybe I use a little bit too much but for the pores part It does not help at all. I just don’t like how it looks on my skin. I will try to use it other ways. Do let me know how you guys like to use it because I usually take some on the puff it came with which actually I like , and then buff my brush on the puff and then apply it on my face with the fluffy powder brush. To me it’s an okay product overall.
The new version is available at sephora.

I was actually on no buy for the lip products but to be honest these are too cute and it’s so hard to ignore. I bought mine from Aodour but they are available on etude house website as well. The ice cream shape packaging makes them the cutest tint ever. The size is pretty small yet compact as it contains 4.5 g of product and the size is just perfect as one can toss easily into the bag. It has a pointed applicator which helps in apply the etude house tint easily. I bought the shade RD307 Watermelon red and OR207 Hong red. The RD307 is water melon pinkinsh red and it smells like a water melon as well, I use the watermelon red mostly everyday as it look more natural and keeps my lips hydrated. The OR207 is more of an orange-brownish red which is the one I wanted the most as I love orange tints and this looks a bit different than the typical Korean orange tints and it is actually a really pretty color and I really like it.

The formula of these are really hydrating, does not dry my lips and also they does not stain very badly and last 3-5 hours and to be honest I don’t mind reapplying these tints. They have kind of glossy finish at first and does not dry immediately but the formula of these feels light, hydrated and non-sticky and the formula is quite runny gel like so you have to be careful while applying as it ca get easily on to the teeth. Over all I really like these tints and will recommend it if you like cute and hydrating lip tints.
