My Picks from Nykaa’s Sales

Sigma Beauty Ivy Eyeshadow Palette:

Though I use Sigma brushes religiously, this is my first time trying out their eyeshadows. So far, the formula is quite nice. And I like the distinctive green shades.

Elizabeth Arden Grand Entrance Mascara:

This product was heavily discounted, so I decided to try it on a whim. But it’s very average! All my drugstore mascaras perform better than this.

Nudestix Blend + Buff Dual-Ended Brush:

Dense brushes are ideal for foundation or base-product application. Since this one came with brushes on both ends, I thought it would work well for both foundation and concealer. It’s quite a small-sized brush though, so I may add it to my travel makeup case instead of keeping it with my regular brushes.

Inglot Gel Liner:

This is my mother’s favourite eyeliner, and I always pick one up for her when it’s discounted. I also use this and like it a lot, but I prefer liquid liner to gel liner in general.

Pixi On-The-Glow Bronze Stick:

I’d heard good reviews of this product, so decided to try it out. However, I was most unimpressed with the swatch on my hand because it seemed too light with a lot of shine and very less pigment payoff. But now that I have worn it on my face a couple of times, I feel it looks quite nice. The colour is subtle but still makes an impact.

Pixi Glow Tonic (free sample):

This is another product I have used in the past and loved, so was very grateful to receive a free sample size of it.

Sigma Eyeliner Brush (free sample):

I passed this along to my mother to use with the Inglot gel eyeliner, which doesn’t come with a brush. Sigma brushes are very good.

Inglot Duraline Makeup Mixing Liquid (free sample):

I’m not sure how / if at all I’m going to use this product, because it converts powders into liquids. Most people use it to make liner out of eyeshadows, but I prefer to wear simple black liquid liners. Anyway, it was a free item and perhaps I’ll find some use for it.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage Eye Cream (free sample):

This is a very premium and expensive skincare brand. The sample I received is very small but since you don’t have to use huge amounts of eye cream at once, I have already used it four times and likely will get a couple more uses from it. Not sure if it’s doing much though, because just a few uses isn’t enough to decide on the efficacy of skincare.
