9 gms for INR 600- 650 (not sure)

Company Says: - A mineral powder foundation that 'Stays on for 8 hours'

Ingredients: - Not Listed

VERY SCRATCHY BRUSH

My Opinion: - Mineral makeup is a rage ever since it came into the makeup scenario. I was using Revlon Mineral Foundation for sometimes but it was discontinued for some reason. That's when I found this Streetwear Stay On Mineral Foundation and decided to give it a shot. The powder is very finely milled and contains some finely milled shimmer in it.

                       I got the shade Marble as the SA swatched it on my hand and I chose it. It matched my skin tone totally. The packaging is similar to most mineral foundations. A plastic transparent jar/tub with a kabuki brush attached to its lid and a small round mirror on the top of the jar/tub. It is fragrance free which I like. The kabuki is very scratchy and irritates my skin so I use a powder brush to apply it.

                   I tried applying it over my moisturiser/sunscreen but it was too difficult to blend. I somehow wanted to make it work, so again I tried it over my liquid foundation and it worked. Since this mineral foundation gives light coverage and is not buildable. It looks cakey and ugly if I somehow try to build up the coverage. It is very easy to go overboard with this mineral foundation. The presence of the shimmers gives a very artificial whitish cast which is much hated by all of us.

VERY FINELY MILLED POWDER

ARTIFICIAL WHITE CAST

                    Because of the above mentioned points, I used it as a loose powder to set my foundation. This mineral foundation oxidizes a bit even upon application over foundation. It gives a nice dewy glow to my skin instead of a matte finish. It stays on for 4 hours max in non-air conditioned environment but it stays about an hour longer in an air-conditioned environment. It makes my skin greasy and shiny in an hour. Its not worth the price it retails in, Rs 600-650 is too much for such a product. I had to use it up as a loose powder to set my foundation.

Pros: -


* Easily Available

* Didn't break me out or irritated my skin/break outs

* Little goes a long way

* Sets my foundation well

* Fragrance-free



Cons: -


* Expensive considering the quality of this Mineral Foundation

* Oxidizes to some extent

* Gives very light coverage

* Not long lasting

* Gives a whitish cast

* Difficult to blend



                I rate Streetwear Stay On Mineral Foundation 3 out of 5. This is a product I regret buying and I would request all you girlies to check it out first and then go for it. Or simply I recommend please don't waste your money on it.

Hope this review helped you in some and do leave behind your sweet comments and also share with us your experience of Mineral Foundations. Thank you and have a great Sunday :)

Company Says: - Brilliant color that lasts long on your nails.

My Opinion: - All of us love StreetWear Color Rich Nail Enamels, they have a lot of bright and colorful shades to choose from. I pick up a couple of shades from them whenever I see their nail polishes. So today I will be sharing with you all my views on StreetWear Color Rich Nail Enamel 04 Plum Glaze. Its a pretty dusty pink with brown undertones and golden sheen, one lovely shade I must say.

                 First coat gives nothing, second coats gives a dull look and the third one gives full color and density. This shade needs three coats for full opacity, this nail polish isnt too glossy so a gloss needs to be applied over it. It is a dull kind of pink shade which is apt for everyday/office wear. This nail enamel fades around the tips and chips in 4 days even with 3 coats.

               This particular shade lasts for 4 days and I had to remove it soon. It cleans off easily and does not stain my nails. It has a strong smell which I do not like. Other than that I love this shade for its subtle-ness and its golden sheen. Perfect for daily wear and suitable for most Indian skin tones.




Pros: -


* Affordable & Easily Available

* Wearable dusty pink shade with gold sheen to it

* Stays on for 4 days

* Love the gold sheen, its so pretty




Cons: -


* Non-glossy, dull shade. Needs a gloss

* Fades around the tips from 3rd day

* Strong chemical smell




            I rate StreetWear Color Rich Nail Enamel in 04 Plum Glaze 4 out of 5. This is a nice pretty subtle shade of pink with a very pretty gold sheen, but dull enough for my liking. This one is for all those who like subtle shades.

My Opinion: - I keep buying nail polishes whenever I come across them. It's an addiction I agree but I am proud of this addiction. StreetWear is an affordable brand with a huge collection to choose from. Today I am reviewing a nail polish called 46 Green Passion. It is a milky green or aqua green with strong blue undertones. That's the best I can describe the shade.

                  The packaging is a square cute little bottle with a black plastic elongated lid/cap, like most nail polishes does. Its a normal nail polish-packaging, nothing special. I am totally in love with this shade, it's of creme finish. A single coat gives a very streaky and transparent look. The second coat gives full opacity but not evenness  So I had to apply a third coat for even look and added density.

                  This nail polish stayed on for 5 days without chipping. This nail polish stays glossy for 2 days but after that a gloss has to be applied over it. It does not fade around the tips, also does not look dull. This shade did not stain my nails and was easy to take off. A cool shade for the summers.

Pro: -



* Affordable and Easily Available

* Cool summery shade, love it <3

* Stayed on for 5 days, did not fade

* It's a creme shade from a affordable brands

* Easy to remove

* Stayed glossy for 2 days



Cons: -

* None actually




                         I rate StreetWear Color Rich Nail Enamel in 46 Green Passion out 4.25 out of 5. I totally love this milky-aqua green shade and me thinks its perfect for the summers. Its a must try for green/blue nail polish fanatics.

My Opinion: - Streetwear nail paints comes in fun colors, some are really very pretty. Today I have Glazed Green on my nails which is a greyish green muted kind of a color. It just has a slight green sheen to it with lots of grey undertones. Its one of those very pretty neutral pearly shade which I am loving these days. It can be worn to office, college, party, in short it is suitable for all occasions.


              Two coats are enough for full opacity, and I like the brush which is quite good for this price. The brush does not give streaky- uneven application but gives even finish. The bottle is squarish, cute and a small one which contains only 5 ml, hope to finish it up soon :D This nail paint is thin and gloppy, also it dried very soon and I didn't have to sit for a long time for it to get dry. The smell is not very strong and unpleasant.


 

                           The  nail color stayed on my nails without a top coat for 5 days, after that I took it off myself. There was slight fading around the tips on my right hand nails but the color stayed on well on my left hand nails without any fading. There was no chipping till the day I removed the nail color and for a nail color that's so cheap, its a great quality. Its was glossy enough for the first two days of application but after that the glossiness was gone. I didn't wear a top/gloss coat while taking the photos. Its quite easy to remove, its not stubborn and didn't discolor my nails.

       

Pros: -

* Dirt cheap and available in most shops

* Available in wide array of colors, shades available for all moods/ocassions

* Didn't chip till the fifth day

* Just a little fading around the tips

* Brush quality is good, actually better than many other brands

* Dries fast and does not stain my nails


Cons: -

* Ingredient list is not available

* It's not much of a green, the name is kind of misleading or I can say it does not come out same on the nails as it looks in the bottle.

                I rate this Streetwear Color Rich Nail Enamel- 18 Glazed Green 4.25 out of 5. Sorry if I sound a little partial, but you all know my love for nail paints :D This one is a must try for all those who love muted pearly colors.



Hope you enjoyed the review and the notd. Please do share your experiences with muted nail colors with us and leave behind your precious comments. Thank you and have a great evening :)
