THE BALM MEET MATT(E) HUGES MINI LONG- LASTING LIQUID LIPSTICK SET REVIEW& SWATCHES

08:46:00

Hello lipjunkies,

Today I am going to review The Balm Meet Matte Huges Mini Long Lasting Liquid lipstick set which is a limited edition 2016 holiday collection. I know we are in 2017 and I should have reviewed this long back. I had placed an order 4 weeks back and unfortunately I received it now it was from lookfantasic and I am not at all happy with their service as they had told me it will be delivered in 10 days.

I really had to email them as where my product is. Anyways now I finally got it and couldn’t wait to swatch them so here is my take on this kit.

First of all it’s a mini lipstick tube with a doe foot applicator they are so easy to carry also you can carry them in your wallets & pockets. The packaging is really cute.

There are 6 shades in this kit and all are pretty amazing.

I had never tried matte huges so this one was nice that I can try all 6 shades at once.

The shades are so wearable also its great idea to gift someone who haven’t tried liquid lipsticks yet.

All the shades are so flattering on my skin tone also I feel they can be used for various skin tone.

Coming to formula its creamy and thick dries out in just few sec to give complete matte effect.

Its kind of powdery matte but the application is smooth soft and even.

It doesn’t fade neither it smudges around.

Now this lipsticks doesn’t give that dry uncomfortable feel to lips. They are easy to do touch ups also they don’t transfer and are kiss proof. Its very easy to remove them without having mess.

I was very comfortable wearing them for whole day. The texture feels extremely light soft. It doesn’t crack or cling to dry patches. Also it doesn’t chip off from the lips. Even the red shade is such a subtle which can be carried by various skin tone.

On my lips it lasted for 6-7 hrs which is quite long lasting including light meals and drinks. It has a minty chocolaty fragrance which disappears on application.

Overall recommended you can totally try this 6 shades before going on for big size. I am totally satisfied with my purchase and some of the shades I will be getting a full size. If you have never tried liquid lipstick this has really comfortable formula. My favourite shade is DOTING & CHARMING

It includes

Charming dusty mauve shade.

Sincere a nude having brown tones.

Committed a neutral nude.

Doting its a peachy nude.

Dedicated warm berry pink shade.

Loyal warm subtle red.

The holiday face palette Balm Voyage by thebalm cosmetics

08:31:00

Hello angels,

Ready to travel with Balm Voyage Passport palette hahaha. The most attractive packaging i must say balm cosmetics has always been my favorite when it comes to packaging and product quality. I just cant live without Mary Lou Manizer its like a true highlighter to me. This is a holiday palette now they have come up with vol.2 but I am reviewing the vol.1 this palette has this postcard print cardboard packaging it has a flip cover which is so easy to open. They have placed oval shaped mirror inside and having a passport details which is really cute. It has 16 eye shadow and 3 cheek or lip stains. A super attractive palette with awesome eyeshades. For lip creams there is bottom cover which also flips. So while using eyeshadows you can keep lip palette close to protect them.

I just did indian festive look using this palette. A perfect green and gold eye shadow. This eye shadows have medium pigmentation. Which you can build it by layering. You can use them dry as well as with wet brush. I used this eyeshadows after priming my eyes so it stayed for almost 7 hrs. There was no flaking or smudging. It didn’t even fade. The colors look pretty pigmented when swatched on hand. This eyeshades are in powder form and they blend in beautifully. This palette doesn't have matte eyeshadows most of them have shimmer and some are satin finish.

The formula is not drying but I felt like wet brush gave me more intensity.

This palette has some amazing colors like purple, green, gold, black& browns so you can create as many looks as you want. It’s a very easy to use palette when you just want 1 or 2 eyeshadows to be used. This palette can be carried while on your holiday. This eyeshadows don’t have name but there are codes given like A1, A2, A3,A4 .. they do give fallouts while applying dry.. So try and do eye makeup first then you can clean all the fallouts. I felt few eyeshadows are less powdery and more soft and buttery in texture. But they are not as dense as i expected it to be.

They have 3 cheek or lip creams. They are quite pigmented. Colors are bold and can be matched with any of this eye shadows. I prefer using them as lip cream rather than cheek cream. It goes patchy and creamy on cheeks which I didn't like.

They have this really funny names first officer, second officer and captain.

Overall recommended I loved using this palette it has got some amazing shades with high color pay off. And it’s a great palette for even beginners. I liked the texture and formulas of this palette there was no major issue.

It has this beautiful peacock blue kind of color which just made me want this palette more and more. Lovely palette to use for holidays.

Price 42.50$

Second Officer Its kind of blue toned red. very well pigmented and opaque.
First Officer is peachy orange color having warm under tone. its a satin finish color.
Captain is medium Mauvey pink color again satin finish which can go on almost every skin tone.

11:51:00

Hello angels,

I am here again with one of my current favorite brand for makeup The balm cosmetics yes along with the Mary Lou Manizer and Schwing liner I also got myself Read my lips lip-gloss in GRRR!! By now you all must be knowing that I hardly talk about glosses I don’t buy them as I buy lipsticks. But I have heard that this glosses are not at all sheer and have amazing color pay off so was willing to try them out. The balm cosmetics read my lips gloss as usual comes in a cartoon print box packaging which makes it look funky. The gloss is in round tube having doe foot applicator with bold accents READ MY LIPS. I seriously love the way they name their products just like a comic story it makes them unique from the other brands

theBalm says : Make a statement with theBalm’s Read My Lips collection of gloss. With its vibrant colours and brilliant sheen, lips appear fuller and moisturized in any situation. Fortified with Ginseng, a powerful antioxidant, each product provides lips with added nutrients to maintain suppleness even after use. Save the effort of uttering a single word with Read My Lips and let your look do all the talking for you.

GRRR!!! OK i really don't know how to pronounce this !!! Its beautiful Nude shade having mauve tones definitely a warm toned color. Its not a bright color yet makes your face look fairer. I love this shade as it can go on any outfit. It’s a everyday color and would suit almost every skin tone.

There are many shades available in this range but I am not a gloss fan and I hardly use any gloss so picked up just one color.

Well this gloss are super pigmented and they spread evenly on lips. This color and formula of gloss made me love with it. It has got sweet fruity fragrance which is not overpowering but pleasant and I completely liked it. This gloss are creamy in texture does not feel sticky or slippery like some of the other gloss. They are very hydrating and give complete coverage. After removing this gloss your lips don’t feel dry they feel soft and supple.

It stays on well for 2 hrs without feathering or budging. I don’t know about the darker shades but this one don’t stain. It really feels light on lips and makes your lip look fuller. They are not over shiny or contain shimmer in it. This are for $15 but I think they are bit expensive on luxola.com I will put the link below if you would like to check it. Luxola has worldwide free shipping too.

Overall I am pretty impressed with this gloss it’s a lovely color to have in your daily routine. They are so well pigmented having such moisturising formula.

Have you tried this glosses ? Which is your favorite pick?
