NEW THE BODY SHOP MATTE LIQUID LIP REVIEW SWATCHES

07:41:00

Hello angels,

Recently THE BODY SHOP launched new makeup range called Jacqueline’s Signature line.

I will be reviewing some of the shades from their new 12 MATTE LIP LIQUID from jacqueline's collection.

I personally love liquid lipsticks especially when they are creamy in texture. The body shop matte lip liquid look quite similar to NYX Matte lip creams. I am a huge fan of NYX MATTE CREAM totally love them and I am expecting body shop to be the same.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introducing this season's hottest lip-color trend, Matte Lip Liquid. Our creamy Matte Lip Liquid provides intense color and a soft matte finish. The non-drying formula provides the perfect way to comfortably wear a bold matte lip this holiday season. Specially formulated to glide on effortlessly like a gloss and set with the rich creamy color and velvety touch of matte lipstick. Our liquid lipstick is long-lasting, lightweight and lusciously soft. And like all our cruelty-free makeup.

They are available at very affordable prices like 695/-INR for 8ml. I love that they are cruelty free. The packaging is quite simple clear tube with black matte cap and a slant tip applicator. You can easily identify shades as the packaging is clear and not opaque also the shade names are written on the tube and not at the bottom.

The texture is very creamy almost like a NYX matte lip creams. I would say the darker shades give more coverage and opacity then the lighter shades. The lighter shades give little patchy application while darker shades just need one swipe. The shades I picked up almost have good pigmentation and color pay off. The formula is extremely light and comfortable on lips. They give velvety matte finish but doesn’t dry to complete matte. They are rich in texture and feels luscious soft on lips. It does contain some mild sweet fragrance which disappears on application. The formula is non drying and doesn’t accentuate fine lines. Also the formula doesn’t settle into fine lines. This lipsticks do smudge as they have buttery cream texture but doesn’t bleed. They are transferrable. The range has shades for every skin tone some of the shades I picked up are NAIROBI CAMELLIA, SYDNEY AMARYLLIS, TOKYO LOTUS, GOA MAGNOLIA, TAHITI HIBISCUS.

The staying power of this lipsticks are 3-4 hrs and they do need touchups. It doesn’t leave any stain behind.

Overall recommended if you want something which has a velvety matte texture and which are non drying to lips you can try out. The shades are really good but some of the formula applies patchy. Compared to NYX matte lip cream they are not long lasting while the formula is light and pigmentation is fair enough. They are quite wearable and available at affordable price range. This lipsticks can be used on everyday basis.

LA GIRL HD PRO BB CREAM REVIEW

03:30:00

Hello angels,

I was on a hunt for BB cream and I had completely forgotten LA GIRL PRO HD range. I already love using pro hd concelar and I was eager to try their HD foundation and BB cream. I have never come across high definition bb cream so have lot of expectations from this product. LA GIRL HD PRO BB CREAM comes in 8 different shades. MY SHADE IS LIGHT.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

HD PRO BB Cream is formulated without parabens and made fragrance-free to pamper sensitive skin and lavishly nourish skin with added Vitamin B3, C and E. The silky formula covers a wide range of skin tones with eight diverse shades. This is your all-in-one skin beautifier that primes, moisturizes and enhances skin tone.

This BB cream comes in a black glossy tube with twist up cap.

You have to press the tube for getting a generous amount of product.

Well the tube comes in travel friendly size so its easy to carry.

I like applying bb cream either with fingers or flat brush just like a foundation. But you can also try using a beauty blender.

I have previously tried lots of bb cream but due to my combination skin very few products stays really well on my skin. Previously I was using Maybelline BB cushion and I totally loved that product. So I am expecting this to be better than anything else. The shade I choose is light which is second shade to FAIR. This shade is for fair skin tone having neutral undertones. Its best shade to go with my skin tone. This has a perfect consistency which I like in my bb cream. It gives medium coverage which I totally loved it. I am obsessed with this bb cream as it gives such a smooth flawless application. It blends like a dream in skin. You don’t need to put much efforts when you have normal to oily skin. Well I guess even for dry skin it can work with light moisturizer. I didn’t apply any other products besides this bb cream and it stayed well for 4 hrs. Later on i did observe my nose getting bit oily so you can apply a compact for touch ups. The texture is perfect balance of cream and liquid foundation. It feels so light on skin and this is one of the reason I like using on everyday basis especially when its summer. If you apply a loose powder it doesn't get oily even when you are out in sun. It doesn’t crease neither it looks patchy the formula doesn't cling to dry patches.

It doesn’t contain any kind of fragrance. It doesn’t clog my pores and doesn’t cause any breakouts.

Overall recommended it has lived up to my expectation it gives a perfect glowy skin which I love. Also its so easy to carry and so so easy to apply even when you are in rush. Great product to try for all skin types you can also mattify it by using a compact or loose powder over it. I personally love well hydrated glowy look.

Also they have 8 shades in this range from which you can choose from. This bb cream gives a perfect silky satin finish look and it not only enhances skin tone but also moisturizes it. If you have enlarged pores you can still use this without the primer as it helps to cover them.

The only one thing I wished for was SPF this BB Cream doesn't contain any SPF. You may have to use additional SPF. Have you tried it yet?

SUMMER REDS FROM SEPHORA REVIEW SWATCHES

06:51:00

Hello everyone,

We all love Red lipstick and when it comes to spring a perfect red is all we need. When it comes to red I feel summers are best days to carry this shade. It just brightens my mood. Sephora has recently opened up near my home and I just got there to check some new stuff well I got to pick up two amazing shades of red from Sephora collection which I will be reviewing today. I am already obsessed with this lipsticks as its perfect red for day time wear. Its bright bold and amazing shade to carry on summer days.

We will first talk about Sephora Cream lip stain like many other cream matte liquid lipsticks this too comes in clear tube packaging with black cap and doe foot applicator.

As you all know I am totally into matte lipsticks especially when they are cream based. The shade no.03 STRAWBERRY KISSED for CREAM LIP STAIN and N18 COLOR LIP LAST LIPSTICK

This red is bright bold and has pink tones which is suitable for fair to medium skin tones. Its super pigmented and with a high color pay off you really cant get this shade off. The texture is like creamy stain smooth and applies evenly on lips. There is no patchy application one swipe is enough to get complete coverage and opacity. The formula is more runny and heavily pigmented so you have to be careful by applying them. The formula is great for pigmented lips too. As it starts drying the color gets more intense. I was just concern about how thin the formula is and once it get to complete matte effect will it settle into fine lines. But this formula doesn’t accentuate fine lines and nor does the formula settle into it. It also doesn’t smudge or budge and go complete transfer proof and waterproof. The formula doesn’t cling on to dry patches. But its always better to exfoliate your lips and prep it with balm as this lip-stains can be bit drying. It does give dry feeling to lips and can be little uncomfortable when applied for long hrs. The texture is thin and feather light on lips. You can always touch up them after meals. Though they lasted almost for 7 hrs including meals. It does leave a red stain behind when it starts to fade away. There is decent vanilla fragrance which disappears on application.

Overall recommended if you need a perfect matte red this is the most intense long lasting and deep cream lip stain I have ever come across. I love how pigmented the formula is. The formula doesn’t wear off or flake away and stays on lips for 7-8 hrs which is quite long enough.

RATING A

Coming to COLOR LIP LAST LIPSTICK I have already used them also I have reviewed them previously on my blog.

I totally love using this formula and I have completed almost 2 lipsticks so I had to get a new shade in this range. I was always impressed with its long lasting formula and I will place the link below for a complete review. This babies are so sleek and I love its packaging. Its so easy to carry them while travelling. I wouldn’t suggest this formula for dry lips as it sucks the moisture from your lips but that doesn't bother me also the formula can feel heavy on lips. The best way to put them is prep your lips with balm put on the lipstick and top it off with a clear gloss. The shade I picked up is bright red with warm tones which is perfect for summer also its suitable for various skin tone. Its highly pigmented and gives complete coverage. They will really last longer than you can think off.

OVERALL RECOMMENDED if you want something really long lasting and doesn’t want to go for complete liquid mattes you should try COLOR LIP LAST LIPSTICKS from SEPHORA.
