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.

MAC RETRO MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK NEW SHADES REVIEW

00:02:00

Hello gals,

Hope you all doing well. Its another weekend and time for new post.

I have previously already Review Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick which you will find them here RETRO MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK

They have just launched some new earthy shades for spring 2017. I found all the shades very new and something to really try this summer.

Most of the shades were sold out I hope they get into permanent range like previous ones.

And if you are lucky enough you will definitely find your perfect shade.

I got to pick up BURNT SPICE and CHOCOTEASE.

I was literally dying to try out Chocotease and after going to every mac store in town I got one last piece left of Chocotease.

Chocotease is a deep chocolate brown shade. I loved this shade but it looks more darker and deeper once it dries of. Not much wearable but surely if you like grunge look you can pick this shade

Burnt spice it’s a everyday nude color. I like wearing it as it looks dusty nude shade on my complexion. This shade can look different on every skin tone.

This lipstick comes in a glass tube with usual Mac black lid. Its bigger than the size of actual Mac Lipsticks. It has a elliptical applicator. The applicator does not take much product on so I am happy to not putting on much product. You have to be really careful while applying liquid lipsticks. This one doesn’t dry of immediately but once its set it becomes transfer proof. It gives a lasting long powdery matte finish to lips. Its super pigmented barely I need two swipes just to even out application. Doesn’t need a lip liner. You need to exfoliate your lips and moisturise them with lip balm before application. It doesn’t go streaky once it sets in it does get a shade darker than what actually it is ..it also accentuate fine lines but that’s almost with every matte lipsticks. Liquid mattes are something which still is on trend and they stay on for a very long time making it transfer proof waterproof lipsticks. It does stain your lips but easily comes of with makeup remover. The formula is bit drying but much better than the previous retro mattes.. if you are not use to liquid mattes it may give uncomfortable feel to lips. Retro mattes feel really light on lips while texture is soft & smooth. I wouldn’t suggest applying to many coats of this lipstick as it can get cakey and may even flake. It lasts for 8 hrs after eating drinking. It doesn't contain sweet vanilla fragrance like other MAC lipsticks.

Overall I liked the shade range and they have reformulated this lipsticks the shades are something different and very much trending now. If you are bored of usual corals, pink and reds you should try one of this. I think this shades are going to be a makeup trend for 2017. This formulas are much wearable now and I love how comfortable they feel on lips.

Have you tried them what’s your favorite shade and do you prefer wearing them in spring/summer 2017.

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.
