03:52:00

LAKME ABSOUTE ILLUMINATING EYESHADOW PALETTE, LIP SHIMMER LIPSTICKS, PRECISION EYE ARTIST LINER BURNISHED BROWN

Hello angels,

I was absolutely waiting for something really new and exciting to be launched in makeup and yea it seems like Lakme has done it all. They have launched their Illuminate and shine range during lakme fashion week. I was super happy to get this limited edition lakme products. Now this entire range has 2 eyeshadow palettes, 3 precision eye artist liner, and 12 beautiful lip shimmer lipsticks also perfect radiance lightening day/night cream.

BACKSTAGE EXPERTS AT LAKME FASHION WEEK BRING TO YOU THE LATEST TREND OF ILLUMINATED LOOK. A CREME LIPSTICK THAT DELIVERS RICH COLOR WITH A REFLECTIVE SHIMMER FINISH.

Now I know that the most exciting product to me was lip shimmer lipsticks so today I will be reviewing 3 of them. Well when whole makeup world on is crazily coming up with liquid mattes here lakme comes with something totally different which is a lip shimmer. I would say now this is something you really cant think off. Lets start with its packaging. This come in black cardboard packaging as similar to Lakme absolute sculpt lipsticks. This lipstick has semi opaque black glossy plastic tube. Its a sleek round tube having flat slant tip. I liked the packaging it was simple yet classy. I am the girl who dosen't like shimmer in lipsticks at all it’s a big NO for me. But when I saw the entire range I was keen to try this shades on me. They had really pretty attractive shades. My pick was TROPICAL SHINE, SUN KISSED SALMON & CRIMSON BLINK.

TROPICAL SHIMMER, SUN KISSED SLAMON, CRIMSON BLINK

Every lipstick here has lots of shimmer in it. They are smooth on application and applies evenly on lips while giving complete coverage in just one stroke. Highly pigmented creamy lipsticks. They have sheen finish..but the shimmer is quite visible in lighter shades. The shimmer really reflects the light giving that shiny pout. They don't give a finish like gloss. Isn’t it something really different to try this summer I mean not going for usual bold bright matte colors. But yes gals this lipstick give you that change a break through liquid mattes. The most annoying was the shimmer particles that left behind after removing it with makeup remover. This is what I hate most about any shimmer lipstick in this world. Now also this lipstick has overpowering fragrance which I guess it was in enrich satin lipsticks too. This smell stays on for a while which really annoys me. They do transfer while eating and drinking. You need to exfoliate your lips as you don’t want shimmer to cling on your dry patches. They feel really light on lips. The texture is soft creamy inspite of shimmer there is no gritty texture. Formula is quite moisturizing to lips .. they have non drying formula and doesn't settle into fine lines. They stay on well for 3-4 hrs but usually fades away leaving behind shimmer especially with the light shades. Darker shades look less shimmery than lighter ones. They do smudge but don’t bleed. This shimmer particles reflect light which help you give shiny pouts. Doesn't accentuate fine lines.

TROPICAL SHIMMER

A very light peach shade having lots of gold silver shimmer. They are more visible in daylight. As name says its a prefect for tropical summer season. This shade can go fair to light skin tones. Well medium to dark tones can defintely have a try on it. I personally didn't like this shade as it appeared more like a golden lipstick. I really don't see myself wearing this on except for wedding parties.

SUN KISSED SALMON its a pale pinkish orange shade this is a color for every skin tone. It contains pink shimmer but doesn't add much sheen to lipstick. I think its one of my favourite shade from this range.

CRIMSON BLINK Its a red lipstick which looks warm red when applied on lips. l could see rose gold shimmers in it. Its a glamour shade. Its intense with shimmery finish. A great red lipstick for brides if tossing on for shimmer.

Overall I would recommend this only if you love shiny pouts. This are great for summer parties or for glamour makeup even bridal can opt for this shades. I don’t prefer this lipsticks for everyday purpose. I really hated this smell and the shimmer particles which did not go off completely even with makeup remover. I am not so obsessing with this shades but it was a nice to try. My recommendations Sun Kissed Salmon. I definitely see myself wearing this shade.

NEW Lakme 9 to5 Weightless Mousse Foundation Review

02:36:00

Hello angels,

2016 has already begun with Lakme launching their New foundation. This comes from 9 to 5 range its basically a weightless mousse foundation. I haven’t tried their previous 9 to5 range foundation but I do love lipsticks and nail paints from this range. And I was absolutely crazy for Lakme absolute mousse which was such a hit product by Lakme but because of limited shade range I couldn’t use for myself. I am glad Lakme came up with mousse foundation in 9 to 5 range.

It comes in a peach glossy box. This mousse foundation is packed in a peach color opaque slender tube. I liked tube packaging more than a jar so that its good according to hygiene point of view.

This foundation comes in 4 shades.

Rose Ivory

Rose Honey

Beige Vanilla

Beige Caramel

The lightest shade among it is Rose ivory which almost suits my complexion. Rose ivory is for fair skin tone having warm or cool undertones.

This foundation is absolutely amazing. The texture is almost similar to mousse. This foundation is extremely light almost feels like feather when blending in. It just blends effortlessly and makes your skin look smooth like velvet. It has light to medium coverage but almost helps in covering marks to some extent.

It doesn’t help in concealing any imperfections. It’s a foundation for everyday use where you don’t need much coverage. Its weight less so you don’t feel like you have applied anything on skin. If you have good skin with minor imperfection you can just use this. If your skin has lot of acne or marks try using with concelar because this won’t help your skin look flawless.

I would suggest using moisturiser except for your skin is oily. I felt this foundation just melts into skin. You can add layers of this foundation without feeling oily or cakey.

It’s a matte finish foundation but can be used by every skin type. It works great on combination skin too. This foundation stays for 5-6 hrs I could see it wearing off around my nose after few hrs. My T zone area was bit oily after few hrs of application. You can apply some loose powder if your skin tends to get oily. This is a everyday use foundation giving you a natural look without making you feel you have applied any makeup. Most of the time I feel lazy to apply foundation and for that reason I love such products which are easy to work with.

Overall product stands up to my expectations. I am happy with my rose ivory shade. Many of you may not find a perfect shade which is a bit of turn off for the product. I wish they good get some more shades because the foundation is amazing. I was not expecting full coverage for this foundation so I am pretty satisfied by the way it looked. The tube is slender so easy to carry while travelling. It didn’t cause me any break outs. Does not feel oily. This foundation has a fragrance which could be annoying for sensitive skin. I liked the smell it reminded me much of Lakme absolute mousse. It s a great product for your everyday use at such affordable price.

Product Features:
1. Extremely lightweight formula
2. Blends effortlessly onto skin to conceal imperfections
3. Matte finish that lasts through the day
4. Suitable for all skin types
5. Desired coverage for daily use

How to apply

Step 1: Apply Lakme 9to5 Weightless Foundation to clean, moisturised skin.
Step 2 :Just take a small amount of product with the index finger and start applying it to the skin with your fingertips. Usually, you can just apply the mousse in four places: the forehead, nose, chin and cheekbones.
Step 3: Blend into your skin starting from the centre of the skin outwards, taking care to cover your face including your neck.

LAKME ABSOLUTE LIP TINT MATTE REVIEW TANGERINE TOUCH VICTORIAN ROSE

07:57:00

HELLO angels

Yes finally I got a chance to grab this exciting new launch Lakme matte lip tint.

I was almost checking them on Instagram for their launch date. But at same time it was making me want them more. As you all know matte lipsticks are so much in trend now after their Lakme absolute sculpt lipsticks which i am completely in love with this lip tints are gonna make you all crazy. The price range totally attracted me 650/- INR is fair enough for such a lip crayon.

CLAIMS-
Quick and easy application
Matte finish with excellent colour pay off
Comfortable application
Retractable pencil that requires no sharpener
Vibrant matte shades

I absolutely love chubby stick packaging I still love Revlon colorburst mattes and now this one look totally adorable having a matte opaque tube packaging with silver cap. They are totally retractable so no need of sharpening. They come in 6 shades which are bright and vibrant having pink oranges and red. I think it will be fun to play with this colors for college girls. I picked up two shade among them well I had first decided to get Magenta Magic and Victorian Rose but ended up getting Tangerine Touch instead of Magenta Magic and Victorian Rose. TANGERINE TOUCH is a perfect matte orange crayon. If you describe them as crayon they fit perfectly. Because this lip tints they give a little hard feel to it. They almost look like a perfect lip crayon. And so I found bit difficult in application. They are on drier side compared to Revlon colorbust matte balm. The pigmentation is fair enough but you need to tug and pull over lips for getting the opacity. If you have dry chapped lips its definitely gonna highlight the patches. Well I was expecting it to be creamy as lip tints do have some moisturising properties. With this lip tints its difficult to get even application in just one stroke. Although it feels very light on lips but also makes them feel dry. As this are dry in application you need to exfoliate and moisturise lips before using this crayons.

They give absolutely matte finish to lips. But I was expecting more out of this lippies and it definitely felt little disappointment. It stays on well for 3-4 hrs does not transfer much. After few hrs it does settles in fine lines of lips. It also has mild fragrance which is barely noticeable. If you have pigmented lips you will need to have multiple swipes for getting the exact color of tube.

All colors are bright and vibrant which will suit almost all skin tones.

Tangerine touch is perfect matte orange lipstick which can go on every skin tone. Victorian rose is one of my fav colors it’s a beautiful pinkish red color again bold and bright color.

As they are matte and have dry formula there is no fear of smudging or budging.

Overall If you are lip junkie like me and want to try this lip crayons you can definitely try them on. If you love bold matte lip tints i recommend to try this. You can even try this Lakme absolute lip pouts on Lakme pro app.

Are you going to love pop of colors for this autumn?

NEW Lakme Absolute Sculpt Studio Hi Definition Matte Lipstick Review

03:34:00

Hi lovelies,

This season lakme has come up with its first hi definition sculpting matte lipsticks. And if you are obsessed with matte lipstciks just like me you gonna like this very new range of lipsticks from Lakme which claims that it’s a one stroke rich matt lipstick which even helps to sculpt and define your lips. I was waiting for this lipsticks as I had seen its post on instagram and they were going to launch it during Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2015. And so finally it was unveiled on first day of fashion week itself. There are 15 bright highly pigmented shades in rich maroon, bright pinks and deep reds. When I checked out at Lakme counter I just got 10 Shades to test in which Red Flames Red Rush and Burgundy Affair were quite similar too each other.

I picked up two shades Mauve fix which reminded me of Marsala color of the year and Pink caress which I will be reviewing today. They have same packaging like Lakme absolute Gloss Addicts which is in matte grey with see through cover. This lipsticks are soft in texture.
Glides on easily but you need to apply lipbalm if you have chapped lips. The color pay off is excellent and the formula is non drying. It gives perfect matte finish lips in one stroke. They are quite long lasting does not stain my lips and lasted for 7-8 hrs including meals.
They do not smudge or bleed. It gives a precise application. This lipsticks are highly recommended by lakme experts.

Mauve fix is a beautiful soft mauve color its muted and if you don’t like much brighter shades this one will be perfect for you. It will go on every skin tone and its one of my personal favourite too. Its a must have shade for this year. Its very similar to Revlon matte balm in Sultry.

Pink caress is a very bright pink shade super pigmented and one stroke is enough to give maximum opacity . When I swatched it on hand it looked like it had more coral tone but when applied on lips it was perfect bright pink. And it was totally different from pink me up and pink glam which were more on deep pinks.

Overall I loved it they are non drying matte lipsticks which also has great lasting power. All the shades are perfect for indian skin tone. Just make sure you try out shades rather than buying online so that you don't end up buying similar shades. Recommended!

HOW TO APPLY:

Step 1: Pull out the cap.

Step 2: Start applying from the centre of your upper lip.

Step 3: Work from the centre towards the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth.

Step 4: Glide across the entire bottom lip.

Price: Rs. 700 for 3.7g
