Skincare, Empties & Unique Makeup Finds
I’m obsessed with finding products that actually deliver, whether it’s a ₹500 holy grail or a skincare staple worth every rupee. Let’s dive into my empties, unique gadgets, and the products I’m currently rotating.
These are all my product empties. I'm giving rapid-fire reviews on what I'll repurchase, like the Redken shampoo and Huda Beauty concealer, and what's going in the trash, like the Foxtale body lotion.
Can you believe these are tinted lip balms? They are so pigmented and glossy. I'm swatching my current favorites from Mars, Indivile, and Tipsy Beauty that give you beautiful color and hydration.
I love finding unique and innovative makeup products. In this video, I'm showcasing some cool finds like a filter-effect powder, duochromatic eyeshadows, game-changing magnetic lashes, and a pH-adjusting black blush.
Confused about makeup basics? I break down the difference between a bronzer and a contour, a fixing spray and a setting spray, and a loose powder versus a compact powder to help you understand what each product does.
If you're looking for a smudge-proof, jet-black kajal that stays on forever, these are my top five picks. I review my favorites from Smashbox, MAC, and Disguise Cosmetics, including both high-end and affordable options.
I tried a bunch of viral products, and here are my ratings. The Fae Beauty skin tint and Mars eyeshadows were a hit, while the Nykaa squishy blush was just okay. The L'Oréal setting spray, however, is a 10 out of 10.
This is the most pigmented blush I have ever used. You literally only need the tiniest dot for a beautiful, flushed look. This one tube is probably going to last me a lifetime.
Skincare is an investment, and this is what my daily routine costs. I show you all the products in my luxury skincare lineup, including a cleansing balm, serum, moisturizer, and eye cream, which total over 22,000 rupees.
These tinted lip balms are everything. They provide so much color and shine while still feeling comfortable and hydrating on the lips. Here are swatches of my favorites from Mars, Indivile, and Tipsy Beauty.
A blue, squishy compact that blots oil and sets makeup? This unique gel compact from Mars is a summer essential. It instantly mattifies my skin, controls sweat, and is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.
About Skincare, Empties & Unique Finds
I don't believe in brand loyalty if the product doesn't deliver. My 'Empties' shelf is my honest diary; if you see a product here, it means I’ve used every last drop because it truly performed, not because it was trendy. Before you spend your money, check out why I’m repurchasing these essentials and which viral items actually ended up in the trash.
Finding the right products shouldn't feel like a guessing game. In this cluster, I’m breaking down everything in my vanity—from the holy grail skincare I’ve restocked three times to those 'unique finds' that genuinely changed my routine.
The 'Empties' Reality Check
When I finish a product, I don't just toss it. I assess. Does it actually hydrate my skin, or is it just sitting there? My empties reviews are brutally honest. You’ll see exactly what I’m repurchasing—like the cleansing balms that actually melt off waterproof makeup—and what’s going in the bin because it did absolutely nothing.
Why 'Unique' Matters
I love finding tools that make life easier. Whether it’s a gel compact that acts as a makeup setter and blotter, or magnetic lashes that solve the 'I can't wear falsies' problem, my focus is always on utility. I test these unique products to see if they’re actually 'game changers' or just fun gimmicks.
Budget vs. Luxury
Skincare is an investment, but that doesn't mean you have to spend 22,000 rupees to get 'glass skin.' I’ll show you where to splurge—like on a serum that actually treats dark spots—and where you can save with affordable, high-performance dupes. If you want to know which products are worth your budget or how to build a routine that won't break the bank, this is the place to start.
