NYX MAKEUP PROFESSIONAL EPIC INK LINER

Packaging:

The NYX Epic Ink Liner comes in a sleek black pen-style packaging that's lightweight, easy to hold, and convenient to use. Its marker-like design provides a comfortable grip, making it easy to create precise lines, whether you're drawing a thin everyday liner or a dramatic wing.

My Observations About Nyx Makeup Professional Epic Ink Liner:

The NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Liner features a pen-style design that makes applying eyeliner quick, easy, and mess-free. Its fine brush tip is perfectly balanced—not too stiff and not overly flexible—giving you excellent control during application.

Whether you want a thin, natural-looking line or a sharp, dramatic wing, the precision tip glides smoothly across the eyelid, making it easy to achieve both. Even beginners will find it simple to use.

One of the standout features of this eyeliner is its intensely black pigment. It's one of the deepest, jet-black eyeliners I've used so far. The formula is highly pigmented, so one swipe delivers rich, opaque color without needing multiple coats, resulting in a bold, defined eye look that lasts all day.

The NYX Epic Ink Liner delivers an intense jet-black finish in just one stroke, making it effortless to create a flawless, sharp cat-eye in minutes. The smooth, highly pigmented formula glides on evenly without skipping, so you don't have to go over the same area multiple times.

I rarely leave the house without a simple yet defined eye makeup look, and this eyeliner has become one of my everyday essentials. Whether I'm creating a subtle wing for daytime or a bold cat-eye for a night out, it never disappoints.

Thanks to its precise brush tip and easy-to-control formula, this eyeliner is an excellent choice for everyone—from complete beginners learning to draw their first wing to professional makeup artists who want reliable, precise results every time.

NYX MAKEUP PROFESSIONAL EPIC INK LINER

After using the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Liner for such a long time, I can understand why so many beauty bloggers compare it to the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner and consider it a great affordable dupe. While it's not identical, it delivers impressive performance at a much lower price.

One of its biggest strengths is its long-lasting, smudge-resistant formula. Even in hot and humid weather, it stays put for around 6–7 hours without smudging or fading, which is quite impressive for an everyday liquid eyeliner.

Despite its staying power, it's easy to remove at the end of the day with a makeup remover, cleansing oil, or micellar water. The lightweight pen-style packaging is also compact enough to fit into a clutch or makeup pouch, making it ideal for travel and touch-ups.

Every stroke glides on effortlessly, delivering smooth, precise, and intensely pigmented lines. The formula dries quickly to a rich, opaque matte finish and stays looking fresh for hours without the need for frequent touch-ups or reapplication.

NYX MAKEUP PROFESSIONAL EPIC INK LINER

What I like About Nyx Makeup Professional Epic Ink Liner:

• Glides effortlessly across the eyelids for smooth, precise application
• Perfectly balanced brush tip—firm enough for control yet flexible enough to create both thin and bold lines
• Smudge-resistant formula that stays put throughout the day
• Long-lasting wear of up to 6–7 hours without fading
• Lightweight, pen-style packaging that's compact and travel-friendly

What I don’t Like About Nyx Makeup Professional Epic Ink Liner :

• Slightly expensive compared to many drugstore liquid eyeliners, although the quality and performance help justify the price.

Kaurz Recommendations:

Yes, I would definitely repurchase the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Ink Liner. I've been buying and using it consistently for the past year, and it has become a staple in my makeup routine. Its intense black pigment, precision tip, long-lasting formula, and ease of application keep me coming back to it every time. 😉

JADE ROLLER FOR FACE BENEFITS : ARE THEY WORTH THE HYPE ?

JADE ROLLER FOR FACE

Today, I'd like to share my thoughts on one of the latest skincare trends: the  Jade Roller. While it may seem like a modern innovation, this tool actually dates back to 7th-century China, where it was traditionally used as a mini facial massager. For centuries, practitioners have valued the jade roller for its ability to reduce facial puffiness, enhance blood circulation, and improve the penetration of skincare products. Many also believe it possesses natural healing properties beneficial for the skin.

Jade rollers are typically made from jade stone or rose quartz and feature a rolling stone on one end for general facial use. Most designs also include a smaller rolling piece on the opposite end, perfect for targeting delicate areas like the under-eye region.

Skin Care Routine At Home with Jade Roller

Nowadays, the jade roller has become an essential part of home skincare routines for enthusiasts everywhere, largely thanks to the influence of beauty bloggers, YouTubers, and skincare and makeup experts. I personally store my jade roller in the refrigerator—the cooling sensation it provides when applied to the face is incredibly refreshing and soothing.

My routine is simple: I cleanse my face, then apply a serum or facial oil such as The Body Shop Oils of Life Revitalising Facial Oil or Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil. Using the jade roller over these products allows them to penetrate deeper into the skin layers while the oils and serums create a smooth glide for the roller. This combination not only enhances product absorption but also maximizes the benefits of both the tool and the skincare products themselves.

Both Jade Roller and Rose Quartz Rollers

 

Both Jade Roller and Rose Quartz Rollers offer impressive skin benefits, with their most significant advantage being improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. These rollers work by massaging the lymphatic system—the network of tissues and organs beneath the skin responsible for eliminating toxins and waste. Facial puffiness often occurs when fluid accumulates in the face due to lymphatic stagnation, trapping toxins and preventing proper waste removal. By using a jade or rose quartz roller to massage the lymphatic system, you encourage excess water to move out of your face, allowing lymph to flow freely.

How to use Rose Quartz Roller on face 

Once lymphatic flow is restored, the benefits become visible: you'll notice a brighter, more radiant complexion with clearer and healthier-looking skin. Additionally, these rollers help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while tightening pores, making them a multitasking tool for overall skin improvement.

How to Use Your Jade Roller or Rose Quartz Roller:

How to Use Your Jade Roller or Rose Quartz Roller:

To get the best results, start with a clean, dry or slightly damp face. Apply a gentle pressure as you roll the tool upward and outward from the center of your face—this motion follows your natural lymphatic flow and enhances drainage. Begin at your cheekbones and work your way up toward your temples, then move to your forehead, rolling from the center outward. For your neck and jawline, use downward motions to encourage lymph flow toward your lymph nodes. Spend about 30 seconds to a minute on each area, and don't forget the delicate under-eye region—use the smaller end of the roller with extra care in this sensitive zone. For best results, use your roller for 5-10 minutes daily, ideally in the morning to reduce overnight puffiness or in the evening as part of your wind-down routine. If your roller is refrigerated, the cooling effect will be even more soothing and help minimize inflammation. Avoid rolling directly over active breakouts or irritated skin, and always ensure your tool is clean before use.

Hi My Angels,

I'm back with another review, and this time it's a foundation I'd been wanting to try for the longest time — none other than from Clinique. Before this, I'd reviewed and tried the MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation. Later, I visited the Clinique counter in Chandigarh, where I picked up the CLINIQUE Even Better Makeup Foundation SPF15. So, after using it for a while now, let's get into the review.

Product Says:

CLINIQUE EVEN BETTER MAKEUP SPF15

My Observations CLINIQUE  Even Better Makeup Foundation SPF15 :

I had been wanting to try the Clinique Even Better Makeup Foundation for a long time, and I was excited when I finally got my hands on it. After using it consistently for more than a month and a half, I can finally share my honest experience.

Before applying the foundation, I prep my skin with The Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel, followed by The Benefit POREfessional Face Primer. Once my skin is prepped, I apply the foundation.

The first thing I noticed was its texture. It is incredibly smooth—neither too runny nor too thick. The lightweight formula spreads effortlessly and blends into the skin within seconds, giving an even, seamless finish.

In terms of coverage, it provides a natural, skin-like finish with medium coverage. It effectively evens out the complexion and conceals minor imperfections, leaving the skin looking fresh, healthy, and naturally radiant. However, if you have noticeable blemishes, acne scars, or significant pigmentation, this foundation may not provide enough coverage on its own.

What I love most is how lightweight it feels on the skin. It reminds me of a BB cream, but with a much more refined, high-end formula and finish. It's an excellent choice for anyone who prefers natural-looking makeup that enhances the skin rather than masking it.

CLINIQUE EVEN BETTER MAKEUP SPF15

As for the staying power, the foundation lasts around 4–5 hours on my skin before it starts to fade. One thing I really liked is that it doesn't oxidize, so the shade remains true throughout the day.

Another advantage is that it contains SPF, which provides added sun protection. It also doesn't leave a white cast on the skin, unlike some SPF-infused foundations that can make the complexion look unnaturally pale or chalky. Instead, it maintains a natural-looking finish while offering the added benefit of sun protection.

CLINIQUE EVEN BETTER MAKEUP SPF15

The foundation gives the skin a natural, healthy-looking glow and is suitable for all skin types. Like most liquid foundations, it does transfer slightly onto phone screens and other surfaces, so I recommend setting it with a compact powder or setting powder to improve its longevity.

Overall, I think the Clinique Even Better Makeup Foundation is an excellent choice if you're looking for a lightweight foundation that delivers a natural, radiant finish with a "no-makeup" makeup look. The added SPF is a great bonus, making it ideal for everyday wear.

What I liked About CLINIQUE  Even Better Makeup Foundation SPF15:

• Lightweight formula
• Blends effortlessly into the skin
• Travel-friendly packaging
• Contains SPF for added sun protection
• Does not oxidize
• Lasts for 4–5 hours
• Conceals minor imperfections
• Gives a natural, radiant glow
• Provides a non-cakey, skin-like finish
• Leaves no white cast
• Offers light to medium coverage

What I Didn't Liked About CLINIQUE  Even Better Makeup Foundation SPF15 :

• Transfers slightly onto phone screens and other surfaces
• Expensive compared to many drugstore foundations
• Doesn't provide enough coverage for blemishes, acne scars, or heavy pigmentation

Kaurzscoop's Recommendations :

Yes, I would definitely recommend this foundation. Its lightweight feel, natural radiant finish, blendable formula, and added SPF make it a great choice for everyday wear. If you prefer a fresh, "no-makeup" makeup look with light to medium coverage, this foundation is definitely worth trying.

Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel Review

Hi My Angels,

Recently, when I bought the Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Face Primer from Sephora in Singapore, the store suggested I try the Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel before applying the primer, for a matte finish. So I've been using this tiny gel for about a month now, and today I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on it.

My Experience With Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel:

During my visit to Sephora Singapore this year, I headed straight to the Benefit counter because I was already a huge fan of the Benefit POREfessional Primer. I asked the beauty consultant for the primer, and she recommended that I apply the Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel before using the primer. She explained that it helps control excess oil, which can cause makeup to break down throughout the day, while creating the perfect matte base for makeup application.

She applied the Matte Rescue Gel on my face, followed by the primer, and I immediately loved the smooth, matte finish. Impressed with the results, I decided to purchase it.

After using it regularly, I can say that the Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel lives up to its claims. It effectively controls excess oil and leaves the skin feeling smooth, soft, and shine-free. It creates an excellent base for primer and foundation, helping makeup apply more evenly and last longer throughout the day. If you have oily or combination skin, this gel is a great addition to your makeup routine.

Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel 

The Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Gel has a lightweight, gel-like consistency that spreads easily over the skin. A small amount is enough to cover the entire face. After applying the gel, I follow it with a primer, and together they create a smooth, velvety matte base for makeup.

The gel instantly minimizes the appearance of pores, absorbs excess oil, and leaves the skin looking fresh and shine-free. Despite its mattifying effect, it doesn't make my skin feel dry. Instead, it provides light hydration and has a refreshing citrus-like fragrance.

However, the biggest drawback is its longevity. On my skin, the matte finish lasts for only 2–3 hours, after which oil starts to appear again. Considering its premium price, I expected the oil-control effect to last much longer. While it performs well initially, the short wear time makes it somewhat disappointing for the price.

Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel 

What I Liked About Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel:

• Packaging
• Instant matte finish
• Light Hydration to skin

What I Didn't Liked About Benefit The POREfessional  Matte Rescue Gel:

• Staying period is less
• Price is higher side

Rating:

3/5

KaurzScoops Recommendations:

No, I'll not buy it again as per price range its not working on my skin type.
