URBAN DECAY VICE LIPSTICK REVIEW SWATCHES

02:33:00

Hello angels,

Today I will be reviewing URBAN DECAY VICE LIPSTICK. When you have 100 lipstick shades to choose from each different from other it feels like a paradise or I would say lipstick paradise ohh I so wished I could take back home the entire collection. This is a mark in history of makeup...urban decay going so huge. It was most difficult task to choose this 3 shades from 100 thats so crazy but I could make it and I am ready to talk about it.

So they launched this lipstick last year in six different finish COMFORT MATTE, CREAM, SHEER, SHEER SHIMMER, MEGA MATTE and METALLIZED. I loved Comfort Matte texture and picked up MENACE, BACKTALK AND HITCH HIKE this 3 shades are also one of the top sellers.

The vice lipstick range is biggest line up for urban decay. You can go crazy as they have bold reds to dark sexy purples to all kind of neutral shades.

Urban decay always has that rock edgy kind of packaging. And when it comes to this vice lipsticks its in a metallic gun metal cap with golden base. I liked UD engraved on top of the tube. Packaging looks quite cool and sturdy. The tubes are made of plastic which makes it quite light in weight. Personally I don’t like shiny metallic tubes as they leave finger prints and you have to keep on cleaning them.

COMFORT MATTE are creamy on application and has a satin finish rather then complete matte finish.

After few hrs of application satin finish turns down to semi matte finish.

Coming to the formula its very light and comfortable to wear for whole day. It doesn’t cling on dry patches gives even application. Glides on easily giving high color pay off. This lipsticks are highly pigmented and gives complete coverage in just 1 swipe. This lipsticks don’t bleed or smudge and have staying power for 4-5 hrs. If you have meals you need to do touch up. This lipsticks do transfer but not much. Also some of the shades fade leaving behind stain.
It doesn’t make your lips feels drier instead it lightly moisturizes your lips. this lipstick do have natural ingredients like jojoba oil, avocado and aloe vera for nourishment of lips. It also contains VITAMIN C &E. You don't see any feathering with this formula.

I loved the formula as they are quite dense when compared to mega mattes. Also it has a slip which makes more easy to apply. When compared to comfort matte, the sheer and metalized formula are less pigmented and the formula is very thin which doesn’t stay long. Comfort matte are more comforting to lips more hydrating and long wearing also they transfer less when compared to other finishes. I like when lipstick have right amount of slip and the formula holds on lips for longer time.

OVERALL RECOMMENDED

I personally loved comfort matte finish its something where you don’t want them to make your lips dry at the same time give pigment and comfort to wear. Also when compared to previous urban decay lipstick this are cheaper in price and the product is more. So you pay less and get more.

The shades are amazing you can choose them according to your skin tones.
If you are URBAN DECAY FAN its definitely going to make you crazy and if you are lipstick junkie like me this is something new in the history of makeup.

RIMMEL LONDON THE ONLY ONE MATTE LIPSTICK REVIEW

10:18:00

Hey beauties,

Many of you have asked me where I got my Rimmel the only one matte lipstick as its not available in India I got it from UAE from my last trip.

So the only one matte lipstick is the latest range of matte lipsticks provided by Rimmel London. The matte lipstick fever is still on and my collection is getting crazy as I have been picking every single matte lipstick from last year.

Till now you all must be knowing I am a total lipstick addict and can't miss on this. Starting of the review RIMMEL LONDON THE ONLY ONE MATTE LIPSTICK comes in 9 shades with a complete red packaging with a shade code on the tube. The bullet is silver while the cap and whole packaging is in opaque red. The lipstick tube is slant so it gives a better application.

I picked up 3 shades High flyer, Call it shots, The matte factor.

High flyer is one of my favorite everyday shade. This is a very much on going dusty pink shade. Most of the girls would love to pick high flyer.

Call it shots is bright like a red having pink tones. Its quite bold then what it looks in swatches. Perfect for summer days.

The matte factor is deep red having pink more like a evening color for those who don’t prefer a bright bold red. Its perfect for fall and my second favourite from the range.

This lipsticks have a fragrance which is difficult to describe its flowery but its such a turn down even when it doesn’t lasts on lips.

They are complete matte finish some of the shades are more drier than the others.

The pigmentation is too good. High coverage with just one stroke.

The formula is quite creamy and glides on like a butter. Sometimes I end up applying over the lip lines because the texture is so smooth there is no control over the lipstick.

I totally loved the formula once it sets on they go completely matte. Some of the shades lasted longer and were more comfortable to wear.

Lighter shades made my lips dry and I could see flaking of product from center of lips.

This lipsticks doesn't transfer much so be carefree while drinking you wont leave a mark.

They provide good amount of hydration to lips but if you already have flaky chapped lips better to avoid them.

Coming to its lasting power darker shades of course lasted much longer than the lighter ones.

It stayed well for around 5-6 hrs including meals.

They are very easy to remove even the darkest shade don’t leave any stain on lips. They don’t really budge or smudge but when you apply darker shades do use a lip pencil.

Overall Recommended Its great for pigmented lips as they give full coverage.

Also for gals who want’s a matte finish lipstick with a creamy formula. Some of the shades are so pretty they can be carried off my various skin tones. The only turn down is its fragrance and some of the shades just flake off which is really not good. They are pretty affordable and easily available at drugstores. What are your favourite shades ?

THE BALM MEET MATT(E) HUGES MINI LONG- LASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK SET REVIEW& SWATCHES

08:46:00

Hello lipjunkies,

Today I am going to review The Balm Meet Matte Huges Mini Long Lasting Liquid lipstick set which is a limited edition 2016 holiday collection. I know we are in 2017 and I should have reviewed this long back. I had placed an order 4 weeks back and unfortunately I received it now it was from lookfantasic and I am not at all happy with their service as they had told me it will be delivered in 10 days.

I really had to email them as where my product is. Anyways now I finally got it and couldn’t wait to swatch them so here is my take on this kit.

First of all it’s a mini lipstick tube with a doe foot applicator they are so easy to carry also you can carry them in your wallets & pockets. The packaging is really cute.

There are 6 shades in this kit and all are pretty amazing.

I had never tried matte huges so this one was nice that I can try all 6 shades at once.

The shades are so wearable also its great idea to gift someone who haven’t tried liquid lipsticks yet.

All the shades are so flattering on my skin tone also I feel they can be used for various skin tone.

Coming to formula its creamy and thick dries out in just few sec to give complete matte effect.

Its kind of powdery matte but the application is smooth soft and even.

It doesn’t fade neither it smudges around.

Now this lipsticks doesn’t give that dry uncomfortable feel to lips. They are easy to do touch ups also they don’t transfer and are kiss proof. Its very easy to remove them without having mess.

I was very comfortable wearing them for whole day. The texture feels extremely light soft. It doesn’t crack or cling to dry patches. Also it doesn’t chip off from the lips. Even the red shade is such a subtle which can be carried by various skin tone.

On my lips it lasted for 6-7 hrs which is quite long lasting including light meals and drinks. It has a minty chocolaty fragrance which disappears on application.

Overall recommended you can totally try this 6 shades before going on for big size. I am totally satisfied with my purchase and some of the shades I will be getting a full size. If you have never tried liquid lipstick this has really comfortable formula. My favourite shade is DOTING & CHARMING
