FREEDOM MAKEUP PRO MELTS LIPGLOSS REVIEW SWATCHES

23:59:00

UP, SMOOTH, SUGAR FIX

Hi my angels,

I have been looking for FREEDOM makeup for some time now. Haven’t really tried any of their products but recently bought PRO MELTS LIPGLOSS.

So I will be talking about 3 shades UP, SMOOTH, SUGAR FIX. To be honest I was very much attracted to this bright neon shades of this lipgloss. I am totally addicted to lipsticks.. and whenever I have to try new brand I opt with their lipsticks. For me that suggests how brand can be. So freedom is suppose to be a new professional makeup brand from London and they have variety of products which can be used by professional makeup artist too. This brand is quite affordable for not even starters but also for professional users.

They come in black box packaging with gloss like see through tube and white cap. I really don’t like white caps that was bit odd for me. But later on I was fine with it. It has a sponge applicator which helps in even application of product. Pro melts are like liquid lipstick having glossy finish. I know most of your concern is are this glosses sticky or not? I am pleased to say they are not. This look like glosses but are more like lip lacquer. They are super highly pigmented and gives plump and fullness to lips. Yes it’s a high definition lipstick. Gives complete coverage even on pigmented lips staying power is for 8 hrs. If you apply too much of product it can end up looking messy. The shades are absolutely bright bold and pigmented. Color pay off is excellent. They are not transfer proof and leaves behind quite stain of lipcolor. It only comes of with makeup remover. And this shades leave lot of color on lips even after removing with a makeup remover. My concern was only that they are not so easy to apply it can get messy if you try to put more product. Its better to use a lipliner and then go with this as to avoid smudging and bleeding of lip color. It doesn’t contain any fragrance.

Overall recommended if oyu are lover of bright bold plumpy lustrous glossy lips then you need to try them they are easily available online and at affordable prices. Right now offer is going on so you can get them at 50% off. The shades are much brighter than what it appears in pictures.

SIVANNA LIPSTICK AND SHIMMER BRICK REVIEW

02:17:00

Hello beauties

Happy Women's day to every beautiful and strong women out there. Its been few days and I already feel like I haven’t blog since months. strange rite?.. days are getting longer while nights are getting shorter and all I feel the summer has set in. Just sipping into my detox fruit water I am searching in my drawer and what I see is this amazing brand Sivanna Colors products in my hand. Yes gals Sivanna if you know is a very affordable Thailand makeup brand. Its dam cheap and you can easily find at shops having beauty& makeup products. Don’t go on price of this products they are totally safe to use and they really have good quality products. So here I have two candy lollipop lipsticks in beautiful cardboard box packaging with metallic grey lavender tube. Ohh this packaging already makes me feel like some good brand lipstick. The tube opens and shut with a click. I have two colors which doesn’t have name on it but they have no which are no.3 and no.10. One of them is a beautiful soft pink color.. perfect for hot summer days. Actually I am picking lot of pinks this season. I think I need to blog on all pink lipsticks. Well the other one is totally hot pink having some cool toned fuchsia. This lipsticks are super pigmented creamy and soft on application. They give opacity in just two swipes.

They just stay on so well like for 4-5 hrs. Do need touch up after meals. They don’t stain lips. Once they are set it gives satin finish. They don’t feel dry after application .. quite creamy and somewhat moisturizing to lips. I didn’t felt need to apply any lip balm. This lipsticks doesn’t have any unique formula they are almost similar to any other drugstore lipstick except for they are super affordable and lovely shades with great packaging.

L-10 R-03

The other product which you can see in my picture is Sivanna Shimmer Brick which is actually a DUPE to Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. Well nothing comparable but this bricks come in lot of shades. I picked up one in peachy coral they really don't have any shade names. This shimmer brick can be used as blush as well as highlighter on fair tones to medium skin tones. It adds beautiful sheen on cheek. Comes in black square compact. Sadly this compact doesn’t contain mirror. Well here the packaging is little bit cheap as it can break while closing the lid hardly. I ended up breaking one and now it just stays open.. you just need to swipe all the color together with a brush and apply on your cheekbones. You can use individual colors for eyeshadow. This shimmer bricks are really blendable. They don’t feel powdery but if you end up applying more it can look powdery. highly pigmented you may need very little to work with also this powder are very finely milled which makes it easy to work with. The shimmer particles just add more glow to your cheeks. This highlighter stay on well for 5-6 hrs.
RECOMMENDED!! I liked this product it can't replace Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick but definitely can work as dupe something very affordable .. if you are a start up in makeup you can try this as they are not at all expensive and have great quality. This products do not contain any fragrance.

Overall I am impressed. I got a blush palette too which I will be reviewing soon. They are really really inexpensive and you can get lots of product without paying out much with such an amazing quality. I am definitely going to buy more of Sivanna Lipsticks and palettes.

NEW L’OREAL LIMITED EDITION COLOR RICHE LIPSTICKS IN PINK LA VEI EN ROSE REVIEW

12:17:00

Hello angels,

L’oreal is celebrating 30 years with exclusive launch of limited edition of iconic Color Riche lipsticks in Pink. I don’t believe from years L'Oreal has been creating amazing and beautiful lipstick shades for every women out there. And now after their Pure Red Star collection which was like a super impressive range they have come up with beautiful pink shades lipsticks signed and endorse by the L'oreal brand ambassadors. This collection is also known as LA VIE EN ROSE where pink is not just a color.

So here you gonna find 7 custom shades from Eva's pink to JLo, Aishwariya's delicate pink Blake's pink, Naomi, Doutzen's etc.. every lipstick has a touch of pink which will enhance your lip color. I love pink lipsticks I can get every single pink out there. These Pink lipsticks are just more subtle softer and adds flush of color. I loved the packaging of this lipsticks it comes in matte black and gold tube with signature over it. They have a shades name at bottom of tube. It has sweet fragrance similar to other color riche lipsticks.

These lipsticks are sheer to opaque giving a velvet matte finish but you need to apply 4-5 times to build the opacity. If you have pigmented lips you going to find difficult to get a shade of your choice. I choose tow shades Aishwariya’ s delicate pink and Eva’s pink. Eva’s pink is a beautiful dusty pink with shimmer which doesn’t show up much on lips but it’s a great pick for fair to medium dusky skin tones. It gives sophisticated stylish look. You can easily carry of this shade for a day look. I loved aishwariya's delicate pink it was a pink which i think every girl would like to have it.

If your lips are dry chapped you need to exfoliate them and moisturise before applying this lipsticks. They are soft in application but not highly pigmented or opaque like other color riche lipsticks. You don't need to tug or pull them. I am not sure of liking the formula because I was expecting it to be more like Star Pure Red collection and Moist Matte lipsticks. Although they feel light and comfortable on lips. Doesn’t not settle in to fine lines and do not smudge or bleed. It gives a very soft subtle velvety matte effect on lips. Color pay off is good. I didn’t find them enough moisturising. It stays on for 4 hrs but you need to give a touch up. This lipsticks doesn’t give a full coverage so if you are looking for that, this lipsticks aren’t for you.

Overall I wouldn't recommend to everyone as shades are limited to pink and nude it wont suit to each and every skin tones. All shades are sheer and subtle so if you like something with more coverage or bold and opaque this is definitely not for your. I wouldn't repurchase any of other shades from this collection. You can definitely skip this one if you are not crazy about pink lipsticks. I was not so impressed I had expected them to be just like pure red star collection the formula was not impressive while texture was still soft and smooth. Please do try this lip colors on your lips before buying as they are sheer when applied on lips. Now you can only get them if you are obsessed with pinks.

GERARD COSMETICS NEW HYDRA MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK REVIEW

03:33:00

L-R BALLET SLIPPER, SERENITY, CHER

Hello beauties,

I am so excited finally after almost 20-25 days I received my parcel from GERARD cosmetics. I had ordered this New Hydra Matte liquid lipstick. This lipsticks are so popular all over Instagram that I wanted them so badly. I think almost every single makeup company have liquid matte lipstick range and so does GERARD COSMETICS have also introduced this range. Gerard cosmetic is known for their lipsticks. Liquid lipsticks can be bit tricky to apply so you need to have right formula and texture to make it more comfortable on lips. Lets talk about this Hydra Matte Lipsticks packaging. They never use to have this box packaging so packaging wise they have improved a lot this lipsticks come In matte frosted glass tubes with gold metallic cap. They are similar to any other gloss tubes. I have got three shades which are SERENITY, BALLET SLIPPER & CHER.

The hydra mattes are liquidy and they apply evenly on lips. This lipstick take some time to dry completely. Once it sets in it gives a complete matte finish almost like a powdery matte finish. They don’t feel tacky on lips the texture is smooth and feels feather light on lips. They are not drying as most of liquid lipsticks tend to feel. Hydra mattes are quite comfortable and I feel they have a very thin watery consistency which helps in keeping it extremely light. This lipsticks are transfer proof and they are quite long lasting. Even with meals in between it lasted on my lips for whole day. Pigmentation is excellent. A shade like ballet slipper was lacking that opacity and was not able to give me complete coverage while serenity and CHER were completely opaque in just one swipe. You can build the color but only after the first application gets dry. They do accentuate fine lines on lips but thats common with almost every matte liquid lipsticks. They don’t budge or smudge as they turn out to be completely matte. It doesn't stain and easily comes of with makeup remover. It’s a waterproof lipstick so don’t try and remove with water. Do exfoliate and moisturise your lips before application. It claims to give hydration to lips which seems to be not so true.

Overall recommended if you are looking for good matte liquid lipsticks having really great formula and texture. I am not new to this brand I have been using GERARD cosmetics lipsticks for quite a time and they have good quality and shade range. This shades are quite different and unique from other brands. They retail for 20$ each which may seem bit expensive but they do have different discount codes and bundles with free shipping. I forgot about how they smell ..it smells delicious almost feels like having some cupcakes. So girls if you really like something matte and liquidy you can try them on.

Serenity- It’s a warm nude shade having hint of pink and brown. This is one of my favorite among all other shades. It will go on fair to medium skin tones like a everyday color.

Ballet Slipper – It’s a perfect like some pink ballerinas. Its a elegant pink which can look gorgeous on every day basis. It doesn’t give even application like serenity though you can use you fingers to spread evenly. Again this shade may go well on fair, tanned to dusky skin tones.

Cher- CHER is 90's color Rosy brown shade. This is something I have never tried and I never had such shade and I loved it. You can really experiment with this shade. It can work on many skin tones
