09:59:00

Hello angels,

This is my last post for 2016 looking forward for a great 2017 hope you all have a beautiful beginning. Wish you all a very happy new year. As a new year resolution I want to make as many possible post on makeup, beauty& skin care hope I can keep it with that.

So as I had mentioned on my previous post of Makeup Revolution I also got LA GIRL cosmetics Strobe Lite Strobing Powder and Matte Flat Velvet lipstick. I picked up Strobe Powder in 50 watts which is beautiful champagne color highlighter.

This powder comes in a gold round plastic compact. It doesn’t contain mirror or any brush. Its powder highlighter which is use for strobing. It gives a perfect glow to face.

The powder is super highly pigmented and you need very little to get a glow. The powder is so finely milled giving you soft and smooth texture. There are around 12 shades and I wanted to pick 2-3 but then I thought of trying it with one and then going for other. There are for 950/-INR and 9 usd each. Its value for money product. You get a whole lot of product which can last you forever. 50 watt is champagne color having hint of gold its very similar to Becca moonstone pressed highlighter. They are very light weight and easily blendable. You can also build up the product for more intensity. I absolutely love using it. Overall recommended you have a variety of shades for every skin tone so go ahead and tell me your favourite shade in comments down below.
Totally worth it. RATING A

PRICE 950/-INR 9USD

Now coming on to MATTE FLAT VELVET Lipstick I picked up two shades Hot Stuff and Hush. Hush is beautiful muted pink nude which goes best on fair skin tones.

While hot stuff is like a vibrant red having corals which goes on every skin tone especially it helps to brighten the complexion.

They come in a black plastic cylindrical bullet which is slightly bigger to their usual LA girl lipsticks. The color on lid is exactly that of lipstick.

This lipsticks feel extremely light and comfortable on lips. It contains Shea butter which gives a buttery feel to lips. Staying power is for 4-5 hrs if you have meals then you may need to touch up. It doesn’t give complete matte finish rather I would say it a velvety semi matte finish.

The pigmentation is good enough you may need 2-3 swipes for lighter shades and if you have pigmented lips you will need to swipe more for building up the coverage.

The texture is smooth and gives even application but clings on dry patches. Doesn’t bleed or smudge..i preferably don’t use lipbalm as they glide effortlessly on lips.

Overall recommend it’s a affordable product. It doesn’t contain vanilla fragrance. I liked they had diverge shade range from purples, pink, blue and black. Also they are not drying on lips. They don’t transfer much and easily comes off with makeup remover. Darker shades leave stain on lips. They are cruelty free. I would prefer darker shades than the lighter ones as they would last more. Tell me your favourite shades from this range?

New Obsession Maybelline Velvet Matte Lipstick

Hello lipstick junkies,

YESS!! finally after seeing posts of Maybelline Velvet Matte lipsticks on Insta I have got them. I have been so busy with work that haven’t got a chance to use them until now when I am finally writing about it. So girls Maybelline is always up every month with their new product launch. And when it comes to matte lipstick I am always inn for it. After trying L’Oreal matte lip creams I was more excited to try these ones as I have been enjoying using L’Oreal lippies.

Anyways coming to the packaging of Maybelline Velvet Matte lipsticks by color sensational.

This lippies comes in see through tube with black cover having doe foot applicator almost similar to color sensational lipglosses.

You can see all the lipstick colors from tube without having to open them up. They are travel friendly pocket size and can easily fit in your bag. I really liked the packaging. I am happy that the price of this lippies are not so high like other brands. Its like everyone can afford them and instead of going for just one shade you can pick up 2-3 from this range. The formula is very exciting as they moisturise your lips with velvet matte finish. There are 8 shades in rich mauve, chic pink, classy red and vibrant orange. I got them in Matt01, Matt06, Matt10 this codes are bit confusing but as there are limited shades it won't be a problem.

Here's why you'll love it
- Its hydrating formula keeps lips non-sticky, non-chalky and hydrated all day long
- Available in 8 vibrant, richly-pigmented hues.
- It is lightweight, making it perfect for long wear.

They glide smooth on lips having buttery cushion like texture. It has got sheen when freshly applied. After application it doesn’t immediately turn out to matte it takes few mins to settle. Few mins later once it dries out to some extent it gives a velvety matte finish. Its more like a satin finish lipstick. They don't dry completely giving a chalky feel. So your lips are going to stay hydrated. They are not at all like sticky glosses. Neither they are so creamy or like powdery matte lipsticks.

It applies like a dream so pigmented one swipe and you are done with it. Color pay off is excellent. It gives opacity to even pigmented lips. I loved how super pigmented this lippies are.

They do not have any fragrance.

They hydrate moisturise your lips that means however dry your lips are you don’t need to apply lip balm underneath. It feels so comfortable and ultra light on lips. Does not flake no budging or smudging of this lippies. They don’t bleed so no need of putting any lip liners. These are not transfer proof lipsticks.

I would say this are easy to go kind of lippies. So whether you are working women or college gal its going be very handy to use. It stays on for 3-4 hrs including meals. Does not leave stain. They don’t settle int fine lines. The color are really bright and bold. And I can say great to use as fall colors.

Overall I am totally impressed. Inspite of not being a matte lipstick I loved these lipsticks for its formula and rich pigmented colors. Gals do try out this lippies I don't want you to miss them. They are quite affordable. This lippies are going to be perfect for winter they will keep my lips moisturised. I am also looking forward to get a classy red shade from this range. They are available at Maybelline counters all over India. So go and grab them.

Matte 1 A beautiful Pink color which is not to bright when applied. It’s a pink which everyone would like to wear.

Matte10 this is girlie pink having lavender to it. It’s a cool tone color but will look great on almost every skin tone. If your are bored of your routine pinks try this one.
