ESTEE LAUDER PURE COLOR ENVY LIQUID POTION & ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR FOUNDATION REVIEW

14:40:00

Hello angels,

Once in a while we all need some luxurious makeup. Where we always talk about drugstore liquid lipsticks we cant forget about the amazing luxurious brand. If you love soft creamy and not so matte liquid lipstick which give a complete luxurious feel with full of pigment then you have to count on Estee Lauder Pure color envy liquid potion as one of the best.

Lets talk more about this product. This product is housed in their classic blue and gold packaging where you can see a dual side applicator. I loved the applicator which gives a precise application to the contour of lips. They have 16 high intensity shades which have some lovely red, nudes, pinks and of course plums. They are so so super pigmented I couldn't have asked for more. They are infused with oils so they apply smoothly on lips. It has a non drying formula so your lips remain moisturised for long time. Even if your lips are dry it will help hydrate them. They have amazing satin to matte finish.

It turns to matte in few seconds after application. I loved the fact that they are not powdery mattes and give luxurious creamy feel to lips. This lipsticks have really bold and beautiful shades. The only problem I had here was its lasting power. As it claims of lasting for 8 hrs It barely stayed on my lips for 3-4 hrs after meals. It fades away gradually from center of lips. This product does transfer on coffee mugs. They also are tested on animals and have a very sweet fragrance to it which doesn’t last either. I was very comfortable wearing this lipstick as they don’t bleed, smudge and also the texture feels light on lips. It has got some beneficial plant oils and waxes. I have got a shade no. 250 QUIET RIOT which is a warm pink having red tones. It s a warm shade which doesn’t look to bold or bright but can go on many skin tones especially if you are having warmer tones. This one is must to try.

Overall recommended if staying power and fragrance doesn’t bother you much and if you are looking for lipsticks having softer matte finish this could be a good choice. Also here you don’t need a lip pencil because the applicator already gives sculpted look to your lips. The variety of shades is also great. Try them and let me know in comment down below...

Along with this I also got Estee Lauder double wear foundation in RATTAN 2W2 shade. Its one of the best foundation I have ever tried. It comes in thick glass bottle with a golden cap. It doesn't contain any pump to dispense the product. The consistency is neither so thick or liquid. This is a foundation which gives complete coverage and its a perfect choice for oily to combination skin. It covers acne, marks and blemishes. Its a buildable medium to high coverage foundation. It stays on so well without creasing or flaking. You can wear this foundation without touch ups for 9 hrs. It gives a semi matte finish which is great for combination skin. Also normal to dry skin can wear this foundation with a good moisturiser beneath. The only down point is that it doesn't have pump so you may have to take foundation on your hand directly from bottle and you have no control over the quantity. Its pretty expensive for 30 ml but i have heard a lot about it and when I tried I found it totally worth it. It also has spf 10 so its a good foundation for photographs. Also great for bridals as it can stay for long without smudging and gives a flawless complexion. This shade is little bit warmer to my tone but I am okay with it. OVERALL RECOMMENDED for oily to combination skin it doesn't smudge on T zone like most of the foundations. Also it doesn't give cakey or flat look, it feels light and comfortable to wear for whole day.

NEW COLORBAR FLAWLESS AIR BRUSH FINISH LOOSE POWDER & ALL DAY LIP AND CHEEK BLUSH STICK REVIEW

04:56:00

HI EVERYONE,

Today I will be reviewing two latest products from COLORBAR. Its been recently launched and still not available in all stores. While I was going through some colorbar eye pencils I found out this AIRBRUSH FINISH FLAWLESS LOOSE POWDER WITH ALL DAY LIP AND CHEEK BLUSH STICK.

I love buying products which are really useful for everyday use and I invest more in them rather then the products which I rarely gonna use. How many of you really like colorbar brand I am sure their lipsticks and eye pencils have done wonders on many girls so lets find out are this 2 products also going to be wondrous.

First I will be reviewing Airbrush Flawless Finish Loose Powder ahhh we rarely can find an mineral loose powder in drugstore brands its always the bare minerals and Sephora one that we keep on suggesting. So this really kept me on my toes when I heard mineral powder... bell starts ringing in my head that yes I need dis I am gonna use this on everyday purpose. So I see there are 3-4 shades available and I choose Beige Fair which is lightest and yellow tone powder. There was a pink tone powder too Rose Beige but it seemed to be little dark on my skin. What I could find was Beige Fair as closest to my skin tone. It comes in a round big plastic jar with silver lid. They don’t give any brush with it. So you can not apply them while travelling. Now this powder really wins my heart when you talk about only mineral. It has a light coverage and you can build it to medium. The powder is soft and micro-fine which applies evenly on face. Mineral powders can be applied with large powder brush on foundation or else you can also use kabuki brush to apply. It blends beautifully into skin. I would recommend to use them without any foundation if you have good skin. You can use it also with the concelar. As its mineral based it can be used by acne prone skin it will cause less clogging and breakouts. I am impressed with the formula. It gives a light sheen to face as the minerals like TOPAZ reflects light. It also gives me naturally glowing skin. It doesn’t give you dry or dull look but it brightens and gives even tone complexion also covering some imperfection giving luminous glow. It’s a paraben & fragrance free product.

Overall I completely RECOMMEND this product. If you like using loose powder on everyday purpose opt for mineral to get a soft luminous skin and also it will help in evening out skin tone though it may not cover dark spots and pigmentation but it does minimize your pores and fine lines.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

Join hands with the revolutionary loose powder. Designed to be virtually invisible on your skin.
Our high-tech, light-reflecting Topaz Powder formula seemingly airbrushes away imperfections and creates a soft-focus luminous effect that looks professionally retouched.

RATING - A

Moving on to the ALL DAY LONG CHEEK AND BLUSH STICK. There were 4 shades available and I went with ROSE GOLD it’s a amazing highlighting shade. More than blush I like using highlighter and so this can be really useful for everyday look. It comes in form of Chubby Blush Stick with twist open at bottom. It’s in a rose gold tube. This can be used as highlighter OR sculpting cheekbones also can be used on EYES & lips for making any lipstick of lighter shade. It’s a creamy highlighter but gives a satin finish. It does a good job of highlighting cheekbones.The shade is warm so will go on many skin tones. I think its worth to spend some money on stick highlighter rather than blush. When applied as highlighter it gives soft luminous glow. I would definelty recommend to everyone who wants a good drugstore highlighter. This highlighter does have flecks of shimmer which is very light and just helps to give pearly sheen. It’s a fragrance free and parabens free product. You can the just apply on cheeks eyes or lips and blend or tap with fingers to get the effect. Overall it stays for 5-6 hrs doesn't feel sticky or oily its quite comfortable to wear them for whole day. Some of the shades in blush are also matte so you can try them out.

NEW NYX MATTE LIPSTICKS REVIEW SWATCHES

22:55:00

Hello angels,

How are you all doing ? Can't believe we are in month of August. Time is just flying rite now and I am trying to catch up with all new things happening in beauty world. 2 months back I was really happy as NYX cosmetics was being launched in India and it was very exciting but as they haven’t launched their stores yet the products are available online. So as you all know that I am obsessed with all type of matte lipsticks but most of the NYX products were out of stock and only I could find were this matte lipsticks in Shocking pink and Euro trash. Last year on my outdoor trip I had got the MATTE LIPSTICK in shade Natural it was just so amazing that I didn’t got chance ever since to try more shade in this range. But now I finally see this two shades. I have used shocking pink lot of time as I was so attracted to bright vibrant orchid shade of this lipstick. While euro trash is something which I have currently started to get obsessed with it’s a brownish pink nude kinda shade. As this shades are very much in trend I never miss to pick this browny nudes. Euro trash can go on almost every skin tone and can be used for everyday.

This lipsticks comes in round black plastic packaging with transparent space in between to show off the color of lipstick inside. Its written in white bold NYX MATTE. It’s a light weight packaging with a twist open tube.

This lipstick have the most amazing texture and formula. The pigmentation is so good that you definitely going to fall in love with it. Its creamy in texture soft and glides so smoothly and evenly that you can barely make out that you are trying to put lipstick. Very highly pigmented one swipe gives complete coverage and opacity. For Pigmented lips a must have matte lipstick. This lipsticks are non drying and doesn’t get powder matte. But gives a smooth moisturised matte effect to lips. Application of lip balm is not required as it keeps lips moisturised but if you have very dry lips you need to put lip balm. Staying power is amazing 5-6 hrs and they are so intense you barely need touch ups. Color pay off is excellent. This is one of the best best drugstore affordable matte lipsticks which such beautiful shades for every women. This lipsticks don’t bleed or smudge. They feel so comfortable on lips when applied throughout the day. They are not kissproof or transfer proof lipsticks.

Overall I loved this lipstick I am obsessed and I completely recommend to try out this shades. Shocking pink is something for cool tones but it such a vibrant shade which you wont easily find in a drugstore brand. This lipsticks are bang on and a must have for matte lovers.
