NEW LOREAL X BALMAIN LIMITED EDITION LIPSTICK REVIEW

05:16:00

Hello beautiful gals,

Finally getting my hands on these limited edition balmain babies I really wanted to test them and I found it totally worth the wait.

So this was about last week when I saw them at L’Oreal counters and it was looking so attractive I wanted to get them all. Beautiful classy packaging. It just feels like some of the designer lipsticks. Its definitely going to add that charm in your makeup collection. The entire packaging is designed by OLIVIER ROUSTEING. The entire shade range has edgy colors something which you may haven’t tried in your life.

It really left my pocket empty but I got 3 shades out of the 12 Tailor made designer shade range.

I really appreciate L’oreal being a drugstore brand this time they have got all different models from different ethnic backgrounds. So you have shades for every skin tone from fair to deepest dark tones. It says no matter what origin or ethnic background you have there is a shade for everyone. They are divided into three different tribes.
The Safari which comes in Green packaging is more on a jungle theme. Mainly inspired from amazon jungle.

The Couture comes in black packaging which looks like a signature balmain collection.

The Rock tribe blue packaging inspired from bold, freedom and rebellious women.
The packaging is really interesting it has a L’Oreal logo in front and on side BalmainX logo in gold bold letters.

The packaging has a little marble effect which makes it look more feminine and classy.

Let me describe the three shades

DOMINATION from Couture tribe it’s a rich red color must have for every skin tone one of my favorite from the collection.

CONFESSION much wearable nude shade for fair and medium skin tones.

FREEDOM The name says it all..A rock solid vibrant purple from Rock tribe. Its like dear to wear purple.

These lipsticks are smooth and soft in texture the formula is nondrying and super highly pigmented. It gives a soft matte finish and they last pretty well. It doesn’t settle into fine lines and no smudging of lipstick is observed. It doesn’t transfer much to your coffee cups but you may need touch ups after meals.

It does contain L’Oreal’s signature fragrance which I guess all lipsticks have.

Overall I loved the collection the packaging is amazing these lipsticks are formulated with camellia oil for moisturizing mattes. Ofcourse they are bit pricey as its limited edition designer shades. But its worth trying and adding something beautiful to your collection. I am looking forward to get FEVER shade as its already running out of stock. Grab your favourites before they run out of stock.

NEW SMASHBOX TRIPLE TONE LIPSTICK REVIEW

00:37:00

Hello angels,

The most easy way to get ombre effect is HERE. Yes I am talking about New Launch Smashbox Triple Tone Lipstick. You get Three shades from light to dark in just one bullet isn't that crazy. I have really never tried to get that perfect ombre lips but when I had a look on this amazing shades I thought of trying it out. It had 4 shades NUDE OMBRE, BERRY OMBRE, RED OMBRE & SUNSET OMBRE.

I thought of going with BERRY OMBRE it just looked more striking and practical for creating ombre effect. I found SUNSET OMBRE too interesting but then i wouldn't be able to carry it often. So lets find out the easiest way to make a makeup statement.

BERRY OMBRE

The lipsticks come in black matte tube which looks classy it opens and shuts with a click. The colors are from light to dark so as you place lighter color downwards and then just apply on your upper lip when going for lower lip just switch around and turn the bullet upside down. Now when I first swatched it on my hand I was totally surprised to see all the three shades separately with just one swipe. And when you started to blend it ..it didn’t gave me the perfect gradient look. I liked the harsh lines more as it was more bold & prominent. Now applying to upper lip was really easy some of you may find lower lip application bit difficult. I would suggest you to put a equal and even pressure while applying because you may end up with only 1-2 shades ..though I loved how pigmented they are it also has excellent color pay off. It completely goes to matte finish. Well in start it was bit creamy eventually it looked matte. If you want to use it as a single tone lipsticks just blend or pat with your fingers. The lipsticks stays well for 6-7 hrs gives complete coverage and has no fragrance. It doesn’t accentuate fine lines or dry patches. But of course it’s a ombre effect so you want to have a perfect pout with it. These lipsticks don’t bleed or smudge around. The moment you apply on lips the formula holds on to your lips and feels feather light.

Its definitely not too easy to create ombre lips with just one lipstick but its still worth trying out. I am totally in love with the Berry shade it will go well on many skin tones.

Overall I loved the concept and it was totally fun.. you can always use a Q tip for getting better look. The surface of lipstick is flat and slant to deliver all three tones in one go. I feel this could get messy if you have thin lips as you may end up applying on your outer lipline. If you want to reverse the colors like darker shade on centre of lips and lighter shade outer you can just apply upside down.

A big thumbs up for smashbox for trying something so creative and getting it to us. It was really fun to try such product from a high end brand .
