Hello, readers! Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'll be sharing some hand swatches and reviews of all the MyGlamm products in my vanity. It's probably not much but I'll add more as soon as I can. LIT Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick - Juice It retails at 395 INR for 3 ml of product. You can choose from a range of 12 shades. Pigmentation    : Considering the price, the pigmentation could be a bit better. Packaging       : It's neither extravagantly classy nor too cheap. It's moderately good. The name of the shade is printed at the bottom of the product. Validity         : 35 months.

 Hello, readers! Welcome back to my blog! I know that I've been MIA for quite a while now, but guess what?! I'm back with lots of exciting news and updates about my life to share with y'all. I've finally decided to leave Chennai, which has been my home for 19 years, and move to Bangalore for college! It probably sounds a lot more exciting than it really is. It was cool and exciting in the beginning for me, too, but as days pass by and the shift gets closer, I find myself being terrified.
