MAC Deep Truth Dupe? INGLOT Freedom System Eyeshadow "Pearl 428" : Swatch, Review & EOTD

After showing you all the dupes for 3 beautiful MAC eyeshadows from Inglot recently, now I bring you the almost same and the closest dupe to the much loved blue eyeshadow from MAC. Yeah I am talking about MAC Deep Truth and the limited edition mineralize eye shadow "Blue Sheen". Go on google now. ;) I checked Deep Truth at the store and the texture was really hard and not as pigmented as this one.I was quite surprised actually cause the swatches online show such a pigmented shade. Honestly, my trust in Inglot eyeshadows got reinstated again . O:)
Price: INR 350/- for 1.6g
These are still available at a discounted price on SAMB. So hurry If you haven't picked them yet.

Beauty Talk: Skin type and Cleanser

I have used tonnes of face cleansers but never stuck to one. Somehow I haven't come across one cleanser that I can go on repurchasing. Planning to try Lush once I am done with my stash. I have combination skin that is acne prone. :/ Currently using lotus tea tree face wash and am quite happy with it but its not a repurchase material...at least for my skin.
So tell me. What is your skin type and your HG face cleanser. I might get a clue about what I need. :D

Do you know what you are eating when you are eating it?

Post by Rmyah
Do you know what you are eating when you are eating it?
We all love eating junk food. And a major part of our junk consists of fried foods. Out of a countless number of fried foods available throughout, the simplest of them all is probably the one that we eat the most. I am of course talking about the ever famous and everyone’s favourite Potato Chips.
I am sure, most of us love these crunchy bites of heaven which seem as to melt in our mouths. And as most of the commercials advertise, we definitely cannot stop at one. No one can eat just one was the tagline of one of the most popular potato chips manufacturer.
But do you know what all you are putting into yourself when you eat these tiny harmless looking things? Did you ever bother to read the contents at the back of the pack when you buy it? Or do you get tempted by all the “things we don’t have” advertised by the companies?
Let me frankly tell you. I have eaten countless number of packets of chips myself but I have definitely never bothered to read the contents of the packet. Neither have I ever given thought to what I’m putting into my body until one fine day a little unexpected accident caused me to rethink what I was feeding myself.
To show you all what you eat, I have taken it upon me to put together this little experiment that you can do at home to see what you’re eating. And then, you decide whether to eat what you have been eating.
This all started on a day when a packet of chips landed in my hands during the time I was helping my mom in the kitchen. As I was gorging on the chips, one of them accidentally flew onto the lit stove. The shocker that followed was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Here’s what happened.
