NEW THE BODY SHOP MATTE LIQUID LIP REVIEW SWATCHES

07:41:00

Hello angels,

Recently THE BODY SHOP launched new makeup range called Jacqueline’s Signature line.

I will be reviewing some of the shades from their new 12 MATTE LIP LIQUID from jacqueline's collection.

I personally love liquid lipsticks especially when they are creamy in texture. The body shop matte lip liquid look quite similar to NYX Matte lip creams. I am a huge fan of NYX MATTE CREAM totally love them and I am expecting body shop to be the same.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introducing this season's hottest lip-color trend, Matte Lip Liquid. Our creamy Matte Lip Liquid provides intense color and a soft matte finish. The non-drying formula provides the perfect way to comfortably wear a bold matte lip this holiday season. Specially formulated to glide on effortlessly like a gloss and set with the rich creamy color and velvety touch of matte lipstick. Our liquid lipstick is long-lasting, lightweight and lusciously soft. And like all our cruelty-free makeup.

They are available at very affordable prices like 695/-INR for 8ml. I love that they are cruelty free. The packaging is quite simple clear tube with black matte cap and a slant tip applicator. You can easily identify shades as the packaging is clear and not opaque also the shade names are written on the tube and not at the bottom.

The texture is very creamy almost like a NYX matte lip creams. I would say the darker shades give more coverage and opacity then the lighter shades. The lighter shades give little patchy application while darker shades just need one swipe. The shades I picked up almost have good pigmentation and color pay off. The formula is extremely light and comfortable on lips. They give velvety matte finish but doesn’t dry to complete matte. They are rich in texture and feels luscious soft on lips. It does contain some mild sweet fragrance which disappears on application. The formula is non drying and doesn’t accentuate fine lines. Also the formula doesn’t settle into fine lines. This lipsticks do smudge as they have buttery cream texture but doesn’t bleed. They are transferrable. The range has shades for every skin tone some of the shades I picked up are NAIROBI CAMELLIA, SYDNEY AMARYLLIS, TOKYO LOTUS, GOA MAGNOLIA, TAHITI HIBISCUS.

The staying power of this lipsticks are 3-4 hrs and they do need touchups. It doesn’t leave any stain behind.

Overall recommended if you want something which has a velvety matte texture and which are non drying to lips you can try out. The shades are really good but some of the formula applies patchy. Compared to NYX matte lip cream they are not long lasting while the formula is light and pigmentation is fair enough. They are quite wearable and available at affordable price range. This lipsticks can be used on everyday basis.

SUMMER REDS FROM SEPHORA REVIEW SWATCHES

06:51:00

Hello everyone,

We all love Red lipstick and when it comes to spring a perfect red is all we need. When it comes to red I feel summers are best days to carry this shade. It just brightens my mood. Sephora has recently opened up near my home and I just got there to check some new stuff well I got to pick up two amazing shades of red from Sephora collection which I will be reviewing today. I am already obsessed with this lipsticks as its perfect red for day time wear. Its bright bold and amazing shade to carry on summer days.

We will first talk about Sephora Cream lip stain like many other cream matte liquid lipsticks this too comes in clear tube packaging with black cap and doe foot applicator.

As you all know I am totally into matte lipsticks especially when they are cream based. The shade no.03 STRAWBERRY KISSED for CREAM LIP STAIN and N18 COLOR LIP LAST LIPSTICK

This red is bright bold and has pink tones which is suitable for fair to medium skin tones. Its super pigmented and with a high color pay off you really cant get this shade off. The texture is like creamy stain smooth and applies evenly on lips. There is no patchy application one swipe is enough to get complete coverage and opacity. The formula is more runny and heavily pigmented so you have to be careful by applying them. The formula is great for pigmented lips too. As it starts drying the color gets more intense. I was just concern about how thin the formula is and once it get to complete matte effect will it settle into fine lines. But this formula doesn’t accentuate fine lines and nor does the formula settle into it. It also doesn’t smudge or budge and go complete transfer proof and waterproof. The formula doesn’t cling on to dry patches. But its always better to exfoliate your lips and prep it with balm as this lip-stains can be bit drying. It does give dry feeling to lips and can be little uncomfortable when applied for long hrs. The texture is thin and feather light on lips. You can always touch up them after meals. Though they lasted almost for 7 hrs including meals. It does leave a red stain behind when it starts to fade away. There is decent vanilla fragrance which disappears on application.

Overall recommended if you need a perfect matte red this is the most intense long lasting and deep cream lip stain I have ever come across. I love how pigmented the formula is. The formula doesn’t wear off or flake away and stays on lips for 7-8 hrs which is quite long enough.

Price 1100/-INR
RATING A

Coming to COLOR LIP LAST LIPSTICK I have already used them also I have reviewed them previously on my blog.

I totally love using this formula and I have completed almost 2 lipsticks so I had to get a new shade in this range. I was always impressed with its long lasting formula and I will place the link below for a complete review. This babies are so sleek and I love its packaging. Its so easy to carry them while travelling. I wouldn’t suggest this formula for dry lips as it sucks the moisture from your lips but that doesn't bother me also the formula can feel heavy on lips. The best way to put them is prep your lips with balm put on the lipstick and top it off with a clear gloss. The shade I picked up is bright red with warm tones which is perfect for summer also its suitable for various skin tone. Its highly pigmented and gives complete coverage. They will really last longer than you can think off.

OVERALL RECOMMENDED if you want something really long lasting and doesn’t want to go for complete liquid mattes you should try COLOR LIP LAST LIPSTICKS from SEPHORA.

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.
