LAKME 9TO5 WEIGHTLESS MOUSSE LIP AND CHEEK COLOR REVIEW SWATCHES

08:53:00

Hello Lovelies,

The moment I heard Lakme is launching matte lip creams I was super excited and thrilled to try them out. NEW WEIGHTLESS MOUSSE LIP AND CHEEK COLOR comes in 10 different shades and Its a part of lakme 9to5 range. This reminds me much of Nyx Soft Matte lip cream and my obsession over it. Well girls now you have matte lip creams by LAKME. I was just hoping they have good shade range. I got them online without checking out any swatches. But when it arrived and I tried out I was just so amazed I think this is one of the best lakme lip product. Now they come in pink opaque tube and a rose gold glossy cap. I think they could have made the packaging more attractive. It has a slant doe foot applicator almost like a pear shaped. It gives the most comfortable and easy application. There are 10 shades each available for INR 575/- which is quite affordable.

I picked up 3 beautiful shades BLUSH VELVET, ROSE TOUCH & PLUM FEATHER.

All of the shades have a autumn feel to it. So if you are looking for matte lip creams in Indian version then you exactly know how to grab them. The formula is soft creamy and super light in texture. Its not at all streaky on application. It feels air light when applied on lips. You can comfortably wear them from 9 to 5. The shades go on almost every skin tones. You can also use them on cheeks with a finger or stippling brush. Just lightly blends into skin while dabbing with a finger. When applied on lips it gives me smooth velvety finish and almost turns to soft matte lip color in few seconds. Its hydrating to some extent so its ok to not put any lip balms. They are very less transferrable and stays on for 7-8 hrs with slight touch ups. The formula is completely non drying. I first thought it would stay like a semi matte lipstick but it almost goes to powder matte without having to feel dry. Even on cheeks it gives a tinted soft color you just need one dot as Its strongly pigmented. It gives complete coverage on lips too. Doesn’t accentuate fine lines. It also doesn’t bleed or smudge. It doesn't have any shimmer. Has a very light fragrance like a some cupcakes. Blush too stays for 6-7 hrs which is just amazing.

Overall recommended. I totally didn't expected it to have such amazing formula and texture. They are quite thicker when compared to nyx soft matte lip creams. I feel so happy that lakme finally coming up with matte lip creams. In winter I don't prefer powder blushes rather I go for something which gives my cheeks a tint of rose pink color and this mousse are perfect for it.
Let me know in comment below which shades you going to pick up and what you loved about them?

NEW BASIC MAKEUP ROUTINE OLAY, LAKME CC CREAM & LOREAL

11:07:00

Hello angels,

Hope you all doing well. If you love reading my blogs you can follow me on Instagram and twitter.

Today I am going to do something different usually I review latest makeup or skin care products but now I am going to talk about 3 products which has recently been added to my daily basic makeup routine. This 3 products are new and currently I love using them OLAY Total Effects light weight anti ageing cream, LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE 12 hr foundation and LAKME COLOR CHANGE CC CREAM.

So FIRST product I am going to talk about is Olay total effects 7 light weight anti ageing cream.

Now for all those who don’t know I am a huge fan of Olay. If I wouldn’t be blogger I would never switch to any other products and would just use Olay. OLAY has been with me since years and it has always helped my skin look better. Now as you know Olay anti ageing cram had a thick texture which wasn’t good enough for oily or combination skin. So they have come up with light weight texture which can be used by many skin types lets find out how it works. This cream comes in long cylindrical tube white and black is a standard packaging for most of Olay products. It has a pump which makes it easy to dispense the product. The first thing I noticed was a fragrance which was totally different from previous one also the cream was much thinner in consistency and white in color. I felt it was more like a lotion then cream. I have a combination skin so one pump was enough for my face. Its definitely light in texture and easy to blend. Still its quite moisturizing and after putting on foundation it gives you glowy look. This would work best for normal to combination skin also it would be great for all season. So after application my skin felt hydrated and well nourished it didn't look dull or oily But after few hrs it did made my t zone shiny so I thought of using a matte foundation or some loose powder over it. I wouldn’t suggest this for oily skin because its not a gel based and its like a lotion which can clog pores. if you are prone to acne this wouldn't be the right product for your skin. It does contain spf 15.

PRICE- OLAY TOTAL EFFECTS LIGHT WEIGHT CREAM

Second product is L'OREAL 12hr Mat magique foundation which I have already reviewed the link is here. LOREAL MAT MAGIQUE FOUNDATION It has turned out to be my everyday favorite foundation. I do pair it up with my Olay cream so that I get a natural glowy skin. Rather than semi matte effect.

Another product which I recently bought was LAKME COLOR CHANGE CC CREAM.

This cream comes in white color tube. It contains spf 30 which is really good for everyday use. It comes in two shades beige and bronze. I picked up beige for my skin tone. If you have natural to fair skin you can opt for beige. This cream is white in color but as soon as you blend into skin it just changes its color to beige which looks well blended on skin. After application your skin looks brighter and naturally even toned. It has a very light coverage so if you have great skin you don’t need to layer it with foundation or concelar. I usually apply loose mineral powder over this. Its like a everyday product where you don't need any coverage and still want your skin too look even toned and well moisturized. This product is also good for dull and dry skin. Again for oily skin its quite moisturizing so it may give you dewy finish. After application make sure you mattify your t zone area. The tube is very easy to carry so you can always carry them in your bag and apply it whenever you want. Also you can use this product with concelar for more coverage and better looking skin. It doesn't cover any marks or dark circles. In a way its a very good product for college going girls and also who would love to look natural on daily basis.

NEW LAKME ABSOLUTE ILUMINATING FOUNDATION REVIEW

11:36:00

Hello angels,

I was first confused when I saw Lakme absolute illuminating foundation because previously they had same packaging for white intense foundation and I still remember it was available only in 3 shades. Well here it’s the same story it has only 4 shades and when your fair toned only option for you here is Ivory Glow. Ivory glow is best suited for fair skin tone with cool undertones. But as there are no more option for fair skin this can go on warm tones too.

Now the packaging is very similar to their absolute range it comes in black glossy bottle. It has a pump which is best part. The pump helps to dispense right amount of product without any wastage. I usually need 2 complete pumps for my face & neck.

This foundation has almost similar texture and formula to white intense except I noticed some golden shimmer particles. This particles I believe is to make your skin illuminating and add some glow to face. This shimmer particles are very small and hardly anyone can notice it. Its liquid in consistency but not so watery when blended it almost feels like light weight gel based foundation. It blends effortlessly on skin. Previously white intense was giving a semi matte effect to face. And I had to use a moisturizer as it was bit drying for my skin. When compared to illuminating I like the texture far more than white intense. This foundation is not as drying as white intense but if you have normal to dry skin you still need to use your moisturizer. It gives natural glow to face. Its not a dewy foundation but imparts that glowy effect to skin. It feels ultra light and smooth on skin. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy after few hrs of application. Its comfortable to wear for whole day. For sensitive nose it has a citrus smell in it which can be bothersome. I personally love this citrus smell infact I am obsessed with this fragrance. It has pretty good staying power without having to use primer. It stays in place for 5 hrs. You really don’t need any loose powder to set as it can make it look like matte. This foundation can be used by oily skin too as its not dewy. If you are scare of this shimmer particles don’t worry it s not visible on face even after removing the complete foundation. This foundation is good to use in hot humid climate too. It has medium coverage which can be buildable. It covers pores and acne marks to some extent. It doesn’t contain spf at all so its great for flash photography.

It doesn’t settle into fine lines or crease around nose if you apply primer its going to stay for longer. Overall I liked the look it’s a natural illuminating foundation. My skin looks brighter and flawless after applying this. Only I am worried about is for dry skin it can look patchy or foundation can cling to dry patches.

For me choosing from just 4 shades is very limited I wish Lakme bring up more shades. Price is affordable when compared to L’Oreal Revlon or mac. The formula could be more dewy but for combination skin this goes well for everyday use too.

NEW LAUNCH LAKME ABSOLUTE ILLUMINATE AND SHINE RANGE LIP SHIMMER REVIEW

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.
