12:23:00

Hello beauties,

I have got something new and exciting today. Its lakme absolute Argan oil lipstick review which has been recently launched in LAKME FASHION WEEK 2017.

This lipsticks which are infused with rich moroccan argan oil is currently talk of the town. Designer Anita Dongre’s gold collection was completely inspired on lakme absolute liquid gold lipsticks. So 2017 is all about gold most of Indian girls love gold whether its for jewellery outfit or bags. And when it comes to makeup gold has always ruled for years.

This lipsticks are in glossy golden tube packaging to give a feel of liquid gold. They have a flat slant top like a lakme absolute matte lipsticks.

The packaging looks classy though its of plastic it doesn't give a cheap feel.

L-R SILK BLUSH, PEACHES AND CREAM, LUSH ROSE

The lipsticks are infused with argan oil which will help your lips stay moisturize for long time.

The texture is so creamy and soft glides effortlessly on lips. Darker shades gives even application while lighter shades needs multiple swipes for better coverage and application.

This lipsticks can be used on everyday basis as they will not dry out your lips and keep them hydrated. On application they feel glossy but after few mins They turn too satin finish having some shine to it. It gives complete opacity with 1-2 swipes but for lighter shades I like to layer them off. They have good color pay off. The formula is thick enough like lip balm to hold on to lips.

The formula feel light and comfortable to wear for whole day.They have a mild sweet fragrance which disappears on application.

Coming to staying power it needs touch ups if you eat or drink as they are more of creamy texture it tends to transfer little bit. This lipsticks are are rich in pigments some of the shades are very intense.

They don’t bleed or budge if you want them to stay longer use a lip pencil.

They neither accentuate fine lines nor the formula settles into fine lines.

This formula are non drying and doesn’t give any sticky or slippery feel to it.

Overall recommended I loved the shade range the texture formula feels so buttery on lips. I liked how effortlessly they glide on lips. The benefits of argan oil keep my lips moisturized for long time. My lips feel softer smoother and conditioned after using this lipsticks. This lipsticks are pricey and we get only 3.4gms but that’s ok because I find the formula great for summers when your lips already feel dry. Pick some neutral colors instead of tinted lip balms for this summer. Let me know which shade you would go for ? Have you tried them yet?

My summer obsession BARE MINERALS ORIGINAL FOUNDATION REVIEW

01:22:00

Hey beautiful gals,

This hot sunny days are really exhausting and putting up makeup every single day is the last thing you would want to do for yourself. When I have to go out on this hot summer days I tend to stay away from my all liquid foundation. Not only feel lazy to apply it I also know that some how its going to melt down and make me feel uncomfortable. I like my skin to be more natural and breathable. So this summer I choose bare minerals loose powder. Now many of you must have tried this product and i have read all positive reviews about it. It’s a sheer to medium coverage mineral based powder foundation. It comes in a 8g plastic jar with black cap .

This powder contains broad spectrum spf 15 which is not enough. So if you looking to use only this powder for summer days its not going to work. Either use a good sunscreen for your base or a BB cream to give you more coverage at the same time getting more sun protection for your skin.

What it does:
With just five pure ingredients, bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation delivers flawless coverage and the creamy minerals are clinically proven to improve the appearance of skin over time. It looks like a powder, feels like a cream, and buffs on like silk, giving skin a natural luminosity while feeling as if you are not wearing any makeup at all.

How to apply :
You just need to take a round powder brush and buff into skin.

This powder comes in a loose form and as I have combination skin its suits my skin very well. It gives me a natural luminous finish. It also has a great staying power. I can see that nothing melts down and there are no creases or any powder lines. It blends well into skin. When you buff it into skin it almost feels like cream and blends smoothly giving even complexion. The texture is very light and almost feels like nothing has been applied on face. The coverage is sheer but can be build to medium . It doesn’t cover complete marks or dark circles but it does help in achieving even tone.

After application I feel my face looks natural ,clean and fresh doesn’t look like any makeup has been put on no cakey feel. It doesn’t clog my pores. And at the same time my pores are less visible. My T zone doesn’t get oily for long hrs. If you have any redness it does cover it well. Doesn’t give me any break outs. They come in many shades I went for Fairly Light which helps to give me natural skin color. Fairly Light has neutral tones and goes well on light to fair skin having warm or cool tones. This mineral powder foundation is known as one of the best quality powders.

Overall I am obsessed with Bare Minerals I wanted a good Mineral Powder for so long and this was worth the try. It’s a pretty pricey but the quantity is much and you just need little for your complete face. You can also use them as touch up after your foundation. The shade range is really wide and I am happy with my shade. If you even have acne prone skin the mineral powders will definitely be a better choice compared to others. Also the formula is free from parabens, sulphates, oil, wax and talc. Bare minerals Original foundation when used everyday will also help in improving your skin texture. This is also perfect for girls like me who prefer no makeup look on most of the days. This product is NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS.
