Reviewing makeup is a tough job but Ipshita Sharma loves it. With a busy schedule and a day job that keeps her on the move, she favours easy and effective beauty buys that give her the desired results with a long-lasting effect. Note Cosmetics has been making a buzz in the beauty world for some time now, so she tries out a bunch of Note Cosmetics products to see if they’re as good as they say they are.
NOTE is a halal certified European brand with beautiful cool colours for the summer.
I was given a pack to review with a small sachet each of the primer and foundation, full size samples of the luminous silk cream powder, the matte lip cream, the professional eyeshadow 104, the eyeshadow pencil and coverage stick concealer.
I had the most fun playing with the eyeshadows because they are so easy to blend. This particular palette has a great range of shades that can easily morph from a day to night look. It can also be a great travel companion, for when we start travelling again.
The eyeshadow pencil is great to use as an eye pencil, but it also blends like a dream and can glam up your look day or night with minimal effort!
The cream powder is a medium coverage but a great finisher to your skincare routine. It covered up some dark spots and evened up my skin tone. It looks like a cream but sets like a very soft powder. It’s easy to blend and very comfortable on the skin – a good alternative for people that don’t like powder foundations but want the convenience of an all-in-one compact. Easily my favourite!
The concealer and foundation are important for a beauty routine and these were easy to blend but the shade I had didn’t quite match my skin tone. I might have to try again with the right shades.
The Lip cream was good on application and delivered a rich luxurious colour but kind of dried off in some time, and while the colour stayed on, the dry feeling stayed with me all evening.
Overall, I loved the products, and they were all easy to blend and play around with, a great thing for makeup. The pricing is mid-range and super affordable for the quality. I’m definitely a fan!

Sultry Bold Eyes
Sparkles, glitter or shimmer – you cannot go wrong using any of these on your eyes to create a sultry and bold look. It is a great way to accentuate your eyes and add that extra oomph factor. Don’t forget to fluff up those brows to complete the look.
