Bare Minerals GEN NUDE MATTE LIQUID LIP COLOR REVIEW

10:23:00

Hello angels,
I have lots & lots of makeup posts coming up for this month so do keep reading its going to be lot of fun.. For today I will be talking about NEW liquid lipstick range from BARE MINERALS called as GEN NUDE MATTE LIQUDI LIP IN FRIENDSHIP.

These range has lots of shades but I liked Friendship the most. I got this from duty free shopping at the airport while coming back to home. So I really had very less time to check out all shades but all of them were quite similar to each other more of the warm nudes and I decided to go with friendship.

So basically it’s creamy matte liquid lipstick having very light formula. There is no tackiness after application. They come in a transparent tube with a flat flexible paddle applicator for a precise and better application. The shade name is written on bottom of tube. The formula and texture of this liquid lipstick is almost like a mousse gives opacity in just two swipes.

They are highly pigmented and gives excellent color pay off. It gives silky smooth application and takes around 10 mins before it sets in to matte. It doesn’t settle into fine lines. The formula is non drying so it doesn’t make the the lipstick to crack or flake. There is no feathering or smudging of lipstick.

It does contain sweet but subtle vanilla fragrance. It can be bothering to sensitive nose users. It doesn’t set into complete matte finish hence its not transfer proof or kiss proof. It stays for decent 5-6 hrs leaving behind a stain.

It doesn’t accentuate fine lines. Like most of the liquid mattes this too turns little darker once it sets in.

Overall I loved the formula and texture I do recommend as they are of high end brand still come in a affordable price range. Lots of shades suitable for various skin tones especially if you looking something for everyday use or like a nude do try them out.
Was it worth buying?
Yes it was. Its a NEW GENERATION NUDE which says that there is no such thing as one size fits all color. So there is a nude lipcolor for every skin tone.

FRIENDSHIP it’s a beautiful midtone warm nude shade .. it darker on my lips then what it looks in the swatch. It suitable for every skin tone.

NEW REVLON ULTRA HD GEL LIP COLOR REVIEW SWATCHES

07:24:00

Hello angels,

Revlon came up with the new range of slim lipsticks known as ULTRA HD GEL LIP COLOR. It was launched for SPRING 2017 collection which is going to be permanent addition to ultra HD range. There are 15 gorgeous shades available and I choose to have two shades which are HD VINEYARD and HD BLOSSOM.

I particularly like the packaging as it’s a very slim and has a metallic tube with a see through cap.

They are high in shine and has super creamy formula. On application I could already feel the slip in texture. I had no issue like feathering or smudging of formula.

It contains creamy vanilla and mango fragrance which does stay on lips for a while but I guess this fragrance comes in all Revlon HD lipsticks. I find it delightful rather then annoying.

As the formula is gel based it gives a glossy finish it helps to stay my lips moisturized for longer time. The pigmentation is good enough and doesn’t look sheer on application. Staying power is for 5hrs it does transfer but leaves some pigment behind. I don’t know how you may like the feel of these formula but its quite creamy like a balm and doesn’t feel sticky. It gives comfortable wear for 4-5 hrs. When compared to HD lipsticks the gel based feels more lighter and silicone free. It may look like the formula doesn’t hold well on lips but it does. It gives medium coverage to lips. You can build the color with multiple swipes. I apply 2-3 swipe for getting a desire color and opacity. The texture is smooth & glides effortlessly. It doesn’t contain any kind of shimmer particles. The formula doesn’t cling on to dry patches. It contains hyaluronic acid which is known for its hydrating properties.

Overall I loved the formula It gives a refresh feeling from usual liquid mattes. If you have dry lips do try them out you can also apply this gel lip color on any kind of liquid mattes ..as it’s a non drying formula I am currently using it on daily basis.

The application is so easy then the full size hd lipsticks and its even fun to carry them while travelling.

FEATURES-

Ultra hydrating formula with hyaluronic acid
• Vibrant color pigments suspended in a clear gel base
• Creamy mango and whipped vanilla fragrance
• Precision tip designed to sculpt lips for a seductive look

• 15 high definition shades

HD BLOSSOM

Its more like a orchid pink having cool tones suitable for fair to medium skin tone.

HD VINEYARD

It’s a warm mid tone berry shade which is suitable for every skin tone. Its one of my favorite shade for daily use.

PRICE 899/-INR

KIKO MILANO LIPSTICK HAUL REVIEW SWATCHES

01:55:00

Hello lipstick lovers,
Hope you going to have a great start to weekend. I have been really busy since few days and I have so many reviews coming up. Also I am trying to post regularly on new makeup products. I always wanted to try Kiko Milano products not because they are so affordable but also due to wide range of makeup they have and of course their stylish modern packaging. So I got some of the NEW LIP PENCILS AND LIPSTICKS which I will be reviewing in this post itself..
Starting my review with KIKO MILANO CREAMY COLOUR COMFORT LIP LINER in shades 302 WARM ROSE, 311ROSE MAUVE, 315 INTENSE MAUVE I got them during my trip to UK.

These lip pencils are easy to use they glide effortlessly on lips. The formula is non drying and gives perfect contour to lips.

FROM UP 315, 311, 302

I personally use to find lip pencils as time consuming but I have to agree that it keeps my lipsticks long lasting and also gives a perfect shape to my lips.Well still trying to use them in my makeup routine.

It gives complete coverage and is waterproof. Staying power is for 8-9 hrs which means its quite long lasting. They are soft on application and feels comfortable when applied for long hrs. It doesn’t flake doesn’t and is smudge proof. Well if you put too much pressure on application the point of pencil may break. The formula can be bit drying on lips so make sure your lips are prepd well with the balm for smoother application.
OVERALL RECOMMENDED they have got some amazing shades in this range I wish the formula was bit more creamier on application. They have shades which can be matched to 16 shades of GOSSAMER EMOTION CREAMY LIPSTICK COLORS.

Lets talk about the TWO in one matte lipstick and blush by KIKO Milano

I have picked up shade SOPHISTICATED BEIGE. Its available in 6 different shade to choose from. This lipstick is matte on application and gives medium to high coverage.

The formula is non drying and color pay off is intense. I love applying this particular shade on my cheeks it blends just like velvet mousse. Totally love them for cheeks. It doesn’t look patch or creamy after application.

Its not so highly pigmented so you may need 2-3 swipes. They are not transfer proof and last for very little time. You may need touch ups after meals.
Overall if you want something for cheek and lip in just one tube this could be easy to use even while travelling.

RATING 2.5/5

PRICE USD 6.90

Coming on to UNLIMITED STYLO lipsticks.

It comes in a very classy gun metal color packaging. The tube looks quite stylish with a golden k embossed on center.. It’s a semi matte finish with hydrating formula.

These lipsticks are very long lasting gives completed coverage in two swipes. It’s a tqransferproof formula and doesn’t stain your lips. Its also waterproof formula which means you have to remove it only with a good makeup remover.

It doesn’t budge or smudge feels so light and comfortable on lips.

The color pay off is excellent and are highly pigmented. The texture is smooth and glides effortlessly. The formula doesn’t cling on to dry patches. It gives a uniform application and coverage. It contains mild sweet fragrance which disappears on application. I am quite impressed with the formula as it’s a semi matte finish with staying power of 7-8 hrs. The formula didn’t crack or flake as some of the other matte lipsticks do.
ORCHID VIOLET its a beautiful purple shade having little bit of pink and warm tones. I am totally in love with this shade.

These lipsticks are available in 16 shades and have super creamy formula with a shiny finish to it.
The packaging comes in a sleek gold and gun metal tube which opens with a click. Again a very stylish packaging. It glides on lip like a super soft formula and leaves my lips feeling so hydrated.

They are hydrating to lips and give excellent color pay off. The formula is bold and gives even application in just one swipe. Highly pigmented and gives coverage with just one stroke. Can smudge a bit but you can always use matching lip pencil with it. It does transfer and so the staying power is 4-5 hrs it fades away leaving a beautiful pink stain. You get a wide shade range to choose from PINK, NUDES AND RED.

It doesn’t contain any fragrance or shimmer particles.

NEW LAKME ABSOLUTE ARGAN OIL SERUM FOUNDATION & LUXE MATTE LIPSTICK REVIEW

05:52:00

Hello beauties,

These weekend I have something exciting to talk about. Recently LAKME introduced NEW ARGAN OIL RANGE OF MAKEUP and I am going to review some of the products from this range. The range comprises of LAKME ABSOLUTE LUXE MATTE LIPSTICKS, ARGAIN OIL SERUM, ARGAN OIL GEL CREME & ARGAN OIL IN SERUM FOUNDATION.

As you all know I am a foundation girl I love trying new formulas and it was much expected that I pick up the New argan oil serum foundation with spf 45.

I am already in love with this product despite of so limited shades I picked up IVORY CREAM which was for fair skin tone having warm to neutral undertones. It was the best I could choose for my skin tone. Now when I heard a argan oil serum I was pretty sure this is going to be really fun using on everyday basis. Also it contains spf 45 which means you don’t have to wear any additional sunscreens. This foundation is perfect for normal to combination skin. It moisturizes my skin at the same time gets quickly absorbed into skin not making it too oily or cakey.

It perfectly blends without having to use any moisturizer. This foundation stays well for 4-5 hrs it starts wearing off near my nose area. That’s because I have a oily t zone. When I use it with a primer it stays for 7-8 hrs may be just a touch up with a compact on my tzone area and I am good to go for more 7hrs. Now this foundation makes my skin look brighter and it just gives me natural finish which means neither matte not glossy.

It adds radiance to my skin doesn’t clog my pores. Has medium coverage which helps to cover even dark spots to some extent. It comes in a golden bottle packaging with a dropper. So I just take a dropper and directly put some drops on my face later blend it with a flat kabuki brush. I loved the formula and texture is almost like a serum first and when you start blending it looks more creamy. Once it sets in totally looks fine. My skin looks more hydrated and fresh.

It keeps my skin shine free while adding a healthy glow to skin.

Lakme always comes up with very limited shade range so you can really have to try your luck for getting a proper shade.

Coming to the LAKME ABSOLUTE LUXE MATTE LIPSTICKS WITH ARGAN OIL so I could see these gold slim lipstick tubes which looks really attractive to me and totally luxe. There were 10 shades in this range I choose to try two of them ROUGE LOVE & ROSY LIPS. I was so happy using the foundation that my expectations with this lipsticks were too high. Well it wasn’t a complete disappointment but it just didn’t worked for me.

I felt the formula of this lipsticks were bit waxy and less of creamy mattes. I was thinking of more luxurious formula.

I really had to drag them to give a proper application. Also the formula was bit drying on my lips. If you have dry lips you probably won't like the texture of these lipsticks.

They are of complete matte finish and are almost transfer proof. It starts fading away from the center of my lips. The formula is buildable but it doesn’t give complete coverage in 1 swipe. Staying power for this lipsticks is 4-5hrs. They are not so highly pigmented. I really love when lipsticks are bold and fully loaded with pigments.

I felt the previous range of argan oil lipsticks were far more better. The price is 800/-which I think is not worth spending on it.

ROSY LIPS Soft muted pink for every type of skin tone.

ROUGE LOVE Its a bright bold pink having warm tones. It brightens up any complexion. Its my personal favorite shade in the range.
