NEW NYKAA PAINTSTIX REVIEW SWATCHES

08:54:00

Hello angels,

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.. NYKAA PAINTSTICKS are rich, intense and highly pigmented.

I really had a good experience with their previous launch of so matte lipstick collection so I was quite confident about the PAINTSTIX formula. Whenever nykaa launches a new product I makes me feel excited. While the paintstix are also available at such affordable prices I was ready to grab them all.

Lets begin with its packaging Firstly when I saw them online they look quite similar too MAC liptensity. Paintstix comes in a plastic color coded tube which looks colorful but they are not sturdy as MAC Liptensity. Nykaa lipsticks are very light and have flat top lipstick.

They have some amazing shade range from pink, plums and brown shades.

I have choose 3 from 12 shades PEACHES & CREAM, TENDER ROSE, ROCK AND ROLL PINK

Paintsticks have a creamy formula which are rich and intense on application.

The texture is soft and smooth giving even application to lips.

The formula doesn’t bleed or smudge it holds on to lips without flaking or drying.

Color pay off is excellent and the colors are super saturated. One stroke and you are ready too go. Due to rich in pigment they are great for darker lips to. It gives complete coverage and opacity on patchy uneven colored lips too. The colors look bright and bold on almost every skin tone. They give a semi matte finish on initial application it felt more like satin finish having little sheen but after some time it turned to more of soft matte finish.

Staying power is for 6-7 hrs after meals they fade away from center of lips. They transfer very little and touch ups are needed. The formula doesn’t settle into fine lines. They have mild sweet fragrance which disappears on application.

OVERALL RECOMMENDED I personally loved the formula and texture.They are very comfortable on lips and the formula holds on very well. I am totally impressed with the staying power. Shades are fun for summer spring. Packaging could be more better and sturdy as it can break if you drop them. Talking about the quantity its definitely less when compared to other lipsticks but i am happy they are reasonably priced.
HAVE YOU TRIED THEM YET? LET ME KNOW WHICH SHADES WOULD YOU LIKE TO PICK.

Peaches and cream

I always try and pick one shade which can be worn on every single day. it’s a perfect peachy rusty kind of shade. Girls you need to have them It’s a warm medium toned shade which makes it look fabulous on indian skin tones.

SUGAR SMUDGE ME NOT LIQUID LIPSTICK REVIEW SWATCHES

10:14:00

Hello beauties,

When you start a new week with a new lipstick it feels amazing …So I just received my order for NEW SMUDGE ME NOT LIQUID LIPSTICK by Sugar Cosmetics. And I am going to review 3 shades PLUM YUM, TAN FAN, RUST LUST.

They have launched 10 shades but most of them are medium to dark shades which can be wearable by every skin tone.

This liquid lipstick has a very similar packaging to Maybelline velvet liquid mattes by color sensational. It’s a plastic clear tube with black cap and a doe foot applicator. The packaging is quite simple and very travel friendly. Though the doe foot applicator makes the application so easy and defined.

Who doesn’t love liquid lipsticks specially when they are available at such affordable price.

When it comes to texture It leaves behind most of the liquid lipsticks. The formula is so pigmented that it comes out only with a oil based makeup remover

It glides effortlessly on lips the texture is soft and smooth and gives complete coverage in just one swipe.

L-R TAN FAN, RUST LUST, PLUM YUM

But as most of liquid lipsticks this too make my lips dry however I liked its consistency which is not so thin and more like creamy. If you have dry lips do exfoliate them and use a lip balm underneath.

Now this lipsticks go completely matte just like any other liquid mattes it does contain faint fragrance which disappears on application.

Most of the shades go darker after it dries out.

It doesn’t smudge and no smearing. This lipstick stay for as long as you want them too. Even if you have meals they barely come of from the center of lips. You actually don’t need touch ups. And layering off can give you little uneven patch look.

So the best is you take them off completely and reapply again or you can just light apply to the areas where it has faded. This lipsticks are so comfortable to wear from day and night. It doesn’t settle into fine lines.

It doesn’t leave any stain behind and its a kiss proof waterproof formula. So gals you can definitely wear them on this valentine date.

Overall recommended they are very affordable have good texture and formula dries very quickly. They have got beautiful shades which can go on most of skin tones. There is no stickiness and doesn’t transfer at all. I am happy with all of my shades just wished they had launched some light shades too and also with more better pacakging. Try them out and let me know which is your favourite shade.

TOP TO BOOTOM TAN FAN, RUST LUST, PLUM YUM

PLUM YUM

This shade is more like a mid tone berry and looks classic for date night.

RUST LUST I love this shade it’s a perfect terracotta shade having reds and brown.

TAN FAN it’s a 90s shade having brown and pink tones. But nothing like a nude so this is like medium to dark shade.

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.
