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.

MAYBELLINE LASTING DRAMA WATERPROOF GEL PENCIL REVIEW SWATCHES

00:31:00

HELLO ANGELS,
I can already feel SPRING 2017 is here. Today i am going to talk about some amazing color eye pencils from MAYBELLINE. I am sure you going to love using them for spring/summer. So here is Maybelline Lasting drama waterproof gel pencil which has been just recently launched. They have launched 8 shades in this range every shade is so beautiful for spring I totally find them worth buying.

I have purchased 3 shades STRIKING COPPER, GLAZED TOFFEE, SMOOTH CHARCOAL I am already loving them. All the eye pencils are waterproof and smudge proof.

Even if you have oily upper eyelids its not gonna smudge the liner.

They are of glossy finish and have a creamy consistency. They glide on effortlessly you can use them on upper as well as lower lash line. The colors are super highly pigmented and so intense. Color pay off is excellent.

All shades make your eyes look so bold and vibrant.

The shades are so rich and highly saturated that it becomes so easy to just glide them on water line. No tugging or dragging if you want a little softer look you can use a smudger immediately after application but it sets in very quickly and then its difficult to blend it. It comes of easily with makeup remover. I am looking forward to get all the shades. The texture of pencil is just like a gel liner and does a fantastic job of intense liner.

There was no issues of fading flaking or cracking.The staying power is for 5-6 hrs except for you don’t have super oily lids.

On waterline it does lasts for 6 hrs. Well they claim for 16 hrs stay but as they have glossy finish its very difficult to stay even for 12 hrs. I was just afraid to sharpen them as I thought the formula was softer than any other pencils. Glad I didn’t broke them yet.

Overall recommended. I was quite happy with the pencils I do have oily eyelids but not much still and it stayed well on mine. But if you have more of oily lids I don’t know whether you can use them. By using a eye primer you can make them stay longer. I loved the rich vibrant and full packed pigmented colors.

They are ideal for one who love intense eye look. I usually prefer matte liner over glossy but the pigmentation of this pencils definitely took my heart away.

They are available at affordable prices.

MATTE LIPSTICK TRENDING SEPHORA WONDERFUL CUSHION MATTE LIP CREAM REVIEW

07:36:00

WONDERFUL ROSY

Hello beautiful,

Sephora Wonderful Cushion Matte Lip Cream is a matte liquid lipstick with a cushion applicator. Along with cushion matte lip cream they have also launched cushion foundation and cream blushers. From Korean brands to USA cushion foundation is trending crazily this days.

So coming on to the packaging it comes in a baby pink color tube with a round rubbery applicator and black cap I personally loved this girlie sweet packaging feels like I am into 16.

It also reminds me of too faced melted liquid lipsticks. But Wonderful cushion feel more like a matte stain to me. They have got limited shades like fuschia, red and pinks. I picked up Wonderful Rose shade as it was more of muted pink then going for something bright.

Lip stains look better when the shades are dusty or in nude pinks OR peach I wish they had more color options.

Wonderful Rose can go well on fair skin tones but may look little brighter for most of skin tones. Please do try them before buying.

The formula is enriched with shea butter to give a smooth application. You just need to press the tube so the product comes out of the cushion applicator and then just glide across the lips with the applicator. This applicator helps in effortless application without any mess. The pigmentation is good enough so one swipe can give you stain lip look but if you have pigmented lips you may need to add 1-2 layers for complete coverage. The formula is non drying to lips and doesn’t give patchy application. It doesn’t give much hydration to lips but also you don’t need to apply a lip balm. The formula doesn’t adhere to dry patches. It has a high color pay off and gives you a just kissed look which is something new and I haven’t tried before.

It doesn’t flake or bleed nor does it settle into fine lines. Its super light on lips and feels so comfortable wearing them. I could totally wear them for whole day it feels almost like nothing has been put on my lips. The texture is in between lip soufflé and matte cream. It gives a super matte finish which almost stays well for 4-5hrs. I loved the formula texture and packaging. It has a fragrance almost like a fruit candy which disappears on application.

Overall recommended.

The formula doesn’t transfer at all. It’s a kiss proof waterproof formula. The shade options are limited and I don’t find them wearable. But you can definitely try a red shade in this it would be much better for most of the skin tones. Its quite pricey but if you like having a just kissed look wonderful cushion matte is all about that.

If you have already tried them or would like to try out please let me know in comments below.
