With Sephora in India and numerous other beauty brands landing up on our shores we are currently spoilt for choice in terms of what we can pick up. No longer do we have to cajole and plead our relatives for something from abroad. Which led to me ponder: what beauty products are now available in India that cost under R.s 500? Make-up that won’t break the bank and yet is of great quality? Yep, you read that right!
1) Kiehl’s Lip Balm
A bestseller from Kiehl’s. Everyone swears by this little black and white tube to soothe chapped lips. Choose from raspberry, mint, pear and coconut flavours.
2) Lakme Eyeconic Kajal
Indian women love their kajal, and the darker the better. Lakme understands this and has created this smudge-proof option. This roll-up pen is a boon in the morning when you’re rushing to work. One swipe is all you need!
3) Maybelline Colossal Volum Express Mascara
Maybelline comes out with some of the best masacaras in the market. If you want big thick lashes that put Betty Boop to shame, this is it.
4) Colorbar Blush
Want some sweet cheeks? Colorbar’s blush will do the trick. It’s lightweight and you won’t end up looking like Bozo the clown.
5) NYX Round Lipstick
Pucker up! The NYX round lipstick promises you a nice burst of colour for that extra pep in your look.
