Olay Purifying Mud Lathering Cleanser : Review
I've got a more appropriate (AKA longer) name for this product - Olay Purifying Mud Creamy Lathering Cleanser. ( I added the creamy in the pic too )
With a dry face like mine the only thing I can think of when I read Mud & Lathering is - dryness. With a creamy in between there somewhere it relaxes me a bit. Wont you agree ?
For a long time I relied on Olay Foaming Face Wash For Sensitive Skin to keep my skin happy. I've had some very good skin memories with it and this cleanser follows close behind. Its extremely foaming and foams up fast without stripping what little natural oils I have left on my face. That being said it doesn't necessarily moisturize my skin and I dont expect that of a clenser unless its a oil cleanser. $7.99 is a price I am willing to pay for it. But I'd be grabbing off the shelf if its on sale !
Its quite good at taking off foundation ( Smashbox HD). I don't use it around the eyes - the first time I did , I thought I noticed a bit of drying. Plus may be mud around eyes aint a good idea anyways. Its a very good cleanser but it isnt replacing my mud masks ever ! Those masks exfoliate and loosen up my black heads , y'all !
Have you tried this cleanser ? What was your experience like ? I'm curious to see how well it works on folks with oily skin.
Love,
Indian Girl

Simple & Easy Wedding Eye Makeup Look : How To ?
This is the tutorial for the Simple & Easy Wedding Eye Makeup Look I had up yesterday ! You'll see how easy it is !
More pictures here
The stars of the show are these three products :
Urban Decay Matte Primer Potion - Eden
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty by Carmindy Instant Definition Eye Shadow Palette - The Storm
Urban Decay Sparkle Dust - Bobby Dazzle
1. Apply concealer all over your lids and under eye
2. Apply Eden primer on your lid.
Keep it just on the lid . It is very similar to MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre and provides an excellent base for a champagne / soft white look like this one.
3. With a flat brush lay the soft white shade from the Storm trio all over the lid.
4. Line the apply lash line with a black eyeliner pencil. Keep it as close to the lashes as possible.
5. Follow with the charcoal shade from the Storm trio along the line with a small shadow brush like Smashbox #20
6.Line the waterline with the same black pencil. I used Julie Hewett Hue Pencil - Black
7. Follow by smudging the charcoal shade along lower lash line.
8. Gently blend the charcoal shadow into the off white shade on the outer corner of the eye. Work with little shadow at a time and use a fluffy brush like Smashbox #10
9. Wet a flat eyeshadow brush, load it up with the Urban Decay Sparkle Dust - Bobby Dazzle and pat it over the center of the lid.
This adds some shimmer to the otherwise matte look and an incredible wet look that looks spectacular under indoor , artificial lights.
10. Do your brows ( I do this first always). Curl lashes, apply mascara and you're done !
For my lips , I went with a nude color Julie Hewett - Biba. This is the shade Mila Kunis was wearing in one of my absolute favorite look of hers - here
