Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil, Kiss Kiss Matte Lipstick Review

Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil, Kiss Kiss Matte Lipstick Review

Guerlain Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil, Kiss Kiss Matte Lipstick Review

Hi guys,

Guerlain has relaunched in India and I had attended their event last month.  They launched the Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil and the Kiss Kiss Matte Lipsticks. I have been trying them out since quite some time now and here are my thoughts.

About the Abeille Royale Range:  Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil offers the skin all the power of Guerlain-exclusive ingredients: Ouessant Black Bee Honey and exclusive Royal Jelly. This revolutionary formula combines the power of a serum, the richness of an oil and the freshness of a lotion. The skin appears instantly smoother, plumper and revitalized. Replenishing micro-drops of oil* are released at the very last minute, leaving the complexion looking radiant. The skin feels incredibly silky and baby-soft to the touch.

Abeille Royale: repair born of science and the bee.
In research going back ten years, Guerlain has scientifically proven the effectiveness of bee products in boosting the skin’s repair mechanisms. Abeille Royale offers an advanced solution to effectively combat the visible signs of ageing, namely wrinkles and loss of firmness.

Inspired by the latest discoveries in neuroscience, the new Abeille Royale Repairing Concentrate goes even further and, for the first time, targets the damage suffered by the skin’s nervous system with exposure to UV rays and other external aggressions. So the skin can repair itself more effectively and fully.

Directions for use: Shake the bottle.  Take 2-3 drops of the oil.  Apply morning and night to the face and neck before the cream, instead of, or before the serum. For greater effectiveness, use the special lifting application technique.

MRP: Rs.6025/- for 30ml

Ingredients:

It was so interesting to know about Island of Ouessant in France and how it is situated in a way that it is far off pollution and diseases and also the wind blows in a way that no polluted air comes on the island. It is a natural habitat for the black bees, one of it’s kind and a unique species. The honey from these black bees is of unraveled purity and that is used by Guerlain in it’s products. If you see the black bee sign on a Guerlain product, it contains this purest honey from those black bees. Guerlain works closely on maintaining and preserving the island and the bees.

The oil comes in a glass bottle with a dropper. It has royal jelly beads settled down and you need to shake the bottle before dispensing the product. The texture is almost like water, it doesn’t feel like an oil at all. It’s more like a watery serum but you can definitely feel the hydration once you use it.

I love how light weight it is, have been using this since the past 3 weeks now and I love how it makes my skin feel. I even got a small pimple in between but this dried and settled the pimple and inflammation. You don’t feel like you have anything on your skin, yet still get the moisture boost. It has slight tackiness and works great as a primer.

I am in love with this light weight watery oil, skin feels softer, smoother, plumped and nourished. Highly recommend this.

Coming to the Kiss Kiss Matte Lipstick.

Claims: Guerlain imagines KissKiss Matte, a hydrating and plumping matte lipstick, intense like a lipstick and comfortable like a balm! The subtle spice extract it contains gives the impression of voluminous lips while the precious oils and the hyaluronic acid smooth and hydrate them. KissKiss Matte offers 9 captivating shades for all special occasions. The iconic packaging is adorned with a golden matte veil.

Ingredients: 1. Imperceptible spice extract giving the illusion of voluminous lips.
2. Precious oils to nourish, smooth and hydrate the lips.
3. The new generation of hyaluronic acid brings volume and curve to the lips.

Directions: KissKiss Matte routine :
1. Apply Liplift primer before lipstick and slightly beyond the lip contour, then blend in with the fingertips.
2. Apply KissKiss Matte directly to the lips for a matte finish and hydrated lips all day long.

MRP: Rs.2775/-

Shades Available: 9

First of all, look at that gorgeous and luxurious packaging. It looks and feels like a bar of gold, it is quite heavy and feels fancy on touch.

A matte lip colour which is hydrating and comfortable, don’t we all need that? They have a mix of reds, nudes, orange and plums.

I have the shade Wild Plum with me. The pigmentation is amazing and it glides on really well. It doesn’t emphasize dry lines or bleed on the lips. It’s pretty easy to use and goes smooth. It does have a little bit of sheen on application but that wears off in a while. The colour settles to a matte one and stays for 4-5 hours without eating or drinking. With eating and drinking, about 2-3 hours but leaves a nice stain behind for few more hours.

Wild Plum is a gorgeous medium mauve plum. I love the colour, pigmentation, formula, packaging, everything about these lipsticks. My favourite out of the lot was Crazy Nude. Highly recommend these too, they are better in terms of quality than Estee Lauder and Bobbi Brown and around similar price point.

Guerlain is available at Shoppers Stop, currently Juhu and Malad. But they are launching it online soon, mostly on Nykaa.

New Sugar Cosmetics Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks Review, Swatches

New Sugar Cosmetics Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics is back with a new launch, this time creme lipsticks. The classic old lipstick formula, these ones are super creamy and buttery. More like butter than cream, literally 😀

Claims: If you want the best of both worlds and love to have it all, then the SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick is made just for you! Intensely pigmented and long-wearing with a baby-soft finish, its creamy texture effortlessly straddles the line between glossy and matte for an easy, everyday look. The high-colour payoff formula is loaded with Vitamin E that locks in both colour and moisture. A roll-on wonder that saves you from the hassle of prepping, priming and lining your lips – it’s all you need to quickly go from ‘Goddamn’ to ‘Goddess’. Free of mineral oil, lanoline and parabens. Full of vibrant colour that you’re sure to swoon over – try it out, today! 

How to Apply: Starting from the center of your upper lip, gently slide the lipstick outward towards the corners while paying attention to fill in the arches carefully. On the lower lip, start at one edge and follow the natural curve. Use a tissue to blot out any excess product. Reapply for a smoother and longer-lasting finish.

Benefits: The SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick has a creamy, feather-light texture that spreads evenly on the lips. It glides on smoothly to create full lips with intense colour and rich coverage. Available in 5 vibrant, highly pigmented shades that are sure to become your everyday favourites.

MRP: Rs.499/- for 3.5g (Buy HERE)

The packaging is exactly like the It’s a Pout Time Vivid Lipsticks. The same black rectangular packaging and the same qty, price is INR 100 less compared to that.

The lipsticks are launched in 5 shades for now, but I am sure they will add more in the future. The formula as I mentioned is super buttery, they melt while applying, so do not swirl up the bullet much, just stay to the tip.

They are not transfer proof, they do transfer a lot but do not vanish from the lips. They are quite pigmented and stay for around 3-4 hours, after which there is fading. But the deeper shades do leave a nice stain behind.

These are very moisturizing and comfortable on the lips, easy to apply, and do not bleed or feather. They are very easy to take off too, unlike matte liquid lipsticks, which are drying and uncomfortable and sometimes peel off the top layer of lips.

L-R: Subtle Island, Dial M for Magenta, The Brown Ultimatum, Revolutionary Rose, Berry Maguire

Subtle Island is described as Muted Brownish Pink. It’s an everyday wear MLBB shade for fair to medium skintones.

Dial M for Magenta is a deep magenta purple. Again a nice purple pink, would work for all skintones.

The Brown Ultimatum is a nude brown, for fair to medium skintones

Revolutionary Rose is a rosy pink, would work for all skintones. My favourite out of the lot.

Berry Maguire is a deep berry red, a nice muted berry, would work for all skintones.

Here are the swatches on me..

I hope you liked the post, do let me know your favourites in the comments below. I believe one shade option would be available in the next Fab Bag 🙂 Guessing for now :p

Nykaa Matteilicious Lip Crayons Review, Swatches

Nykaa Matteilicious Lip Crayons Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing the 8 new shades added in the Nykaa Matteilicious Range, since I had not tried it before, I have also included a review.

Claims: Game, Set, Matte! Fall mattely in love with our Nykaa Matteilicious Crayons. These lip crayons boasts a remarkable formula that pushes the boundaries of color intensity with an extreme matte formula. This supreme formula glides on your lips effortlessly giving you that matte finish that you’ve always craved for!

  • Extreme matte finish
  • No feathering
  • One stroke application
  • Super long-wearing
  • Glides on effortlessly
  • Comfortable on lips

MRP: Rs.650/- for 2.8g

Shades Available:

  • Hot As Red
  • Next Level Nude
  • Pink on Fleek
  • Perfect Plum
  • Kiss N Tell
  • Purple Punk
  • Fired Up
  • Lacy Luck
  • Jade Rose
  • Mocha Sin
  • Twilight Dreams
  • Call Me Scarlet

They come in a standard lip crayon packaging, the difference between these and the Pout Perfect ones in terms of packaging is that Pout Perfect has a matching colour cap according to shade while this only has the bottom colour coded with a black cap and Pout Perfect doesn’t come with a sharpener, you need to buy it separately and this one does.

They have a smooth, velvet finish and glide on effortlessly as claimed. They have a velvet matte finish and are very comfortable on the lips. Everything as per claims.

These are not transfer proof and stay for about 5-6 hours without eating or drinking. These do not emphasize dry lips or fine lines, however you would need exfoliated lips before wearing these like any matte lipstick.

L-R: Kiss N Tell, Purple Punk, Fired Up, Lacy Luck, Jade Rose, Mocha Sin, Twilight Dreams, Call Me Scarlet

I have swatched all the new 8 shades here.

Kiss N Tell is a cool toned apple red, very flattering on all skin tones. I absolutely love this red on me.

Purple Punk is an aubergine purple, but this one is not super opaque like the rest. Slightly patchy

Fired Up is a bright tangerine orange, kind of patchy. Mostly such bright oranges are patchy across brands, I guess it’s the colour pigment.

Lacy Luck is a neutral brown, an everyday wear shade, would work for fair to medium skin tones

Jade Rose is my absolute favourite, a pink brown. It would work for all skin tones, an MLBB for deeper skin tones.

Mocha Sin is a very cool toned grey brown.

Twilight Dreams is another favourite, a deep berry brown shade without red undertones. A perfect fall shade.

Call Me Scarlet is a warm toned red, again suitable for all skin tones.

Apart from the light neutrals, all shades would work across skin tones. And I am glad they launched an interesting mix of shades.

My favourites are Lacy Luck, Jade Rose and Twilight Dreams. Also both the reds are quite pretty, and a matte red lipstick never goes out of trend.

Overall, I do like the lipsticks. Formula is great, shades are nice, very comfortable on the lips. I do recommend these.

Maybelline The Loaded Bolds Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Maybelline The Loaded Bolds Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing the new Maybelline Loaded Bolds Collection, they have launched 13 shades of lipsticks where 3 of them are Black, White and Blue.

Claims: 

  • Hypercolor pigments and an opaque, creamy clay base deliver one stroke intensity
  • Sumptuous honey nectar leaves a creamy finish
  • Maybelline’s color sensational the loaded bolds is available in a range of pigment loaded shades from deep plums and electric blues to vibrant reds and natural nudes

  • Raspberry Rendezvous
  • Baby Pink
  • Wickedly White
  • Dynamite Red
  • Fierce Fuchsia
  • Smoking Red
  • Fearless Purple
  • Chocoholic
  • Audacious Blue

I have the shades Berry Bossy, Raspberry Rendezvous and Pitch Black. They come in a standard Maybelline Colorsensational packaging with a navy blue cap.

The lipsticks are super pigmented and very creamy, they glide on really smoothly. And all you need is 1-2 swipes for full, opaque coverage, even on pigmented lips.

This will cover all lip pigmentation and does not need 3-4 layers for that. They are very comfortable on the lips and have a velvet matte kind of finish, they settle to a velvet matte and stay put for 5-6 hours. 

They leave behind a deep stain which stays put through the day.

These are not transfer proof but hardly fade on transfers coz of the rich pigmentation. I love the formula and pigmentation, definitely recommend these. These are the most pigmented Maybelline lipsticks so far!

Pitch Black is a deep black shade, this does need a little layering for opaque coverage

Raspberry Rendezvous is a deep raspberry pink, my favourite of the three

Berry Bossy is a medium berry shade, very wearable and perfect for fall.

Here are the swatches..

I wish they launched more neutral and mauve/nude shades too. More of deeper colours and reds/pinks in this range. I am glad they have the basic black, white, blue, which can be used to mix and match with different lip colours.

Currently they are available on a discount on Amazon for Rs.413, and I definitely suggest getting them on discount 😀

Claims: Lakme Absolute brings you the miracle beauty ingredient Moroccan Argan Oil, now in a luxurious matte slimstick called the Lakme Absolute Luxe Matte Lip Color with Argan Oil. The luxurious silky formula of the Lakme Absolute Luxe Matte Lip Color with Argan Oil nourishes lips, while delivering rich and intense color.

Key Features & Benefits :

Enriched with Moroccan Argan Oil

Intense color payoff in a matte finish

Luxurious formula for a smooth, silky finish

Available in 15 shades and 3 exclusive shades for Nykaa

Dual benefit of color and nourishment

Rich color nourished with care

How to use product: Start in the middle of your upper lip and glide the lipstick along the contours of your mouth.
Repeat the same for the lower lip.

Pro Tip : Start with a fine lip brush to carefully draw the outline of the lips, making sure to get the corners of the mouth. Then use it to fill in the middle for a deeper, more precise.

Shades: 15

  • Mauveness
  • Royal Plum
  • Rouge Love
  • Freshly Pinked
  • Almost Red
  • Smooth Marsala
  • Royal Flame

First of all, the sleek and slim gold packaging is really pretty! The lipsticks are sheer in one swipe but are

buildable for more intensity. They are not completely matte but have a creamy matte finish. Some shades are more
matte though.

L-R: Mauveness, Royal Plum, Rouge Love, Freshly Pinked, Almost Red, Smooth Marsala, Royal Flame, Dewy Spring

L-R: Mauve Silk, Grand Fuchsia, Red Velvet, Rosy Lips, Peachy Carnation, Crimson Town, Rich Cocoa

The qty is what I am disappointed with, 2g is half of what usual lipsticks are. For the price of 800, I definitely expect 3.5g if not 4g.

I have not tried them, so can’t comment on the argan oil formula but I love the shades Mauveness, Royal Plum and Rosy Lips.

Nykaa Pout Perfect Velvet Matte Lip Pencils Review, Swatches

Nykaa Pout Perfect Velvet Matte Lip Pencils Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Nykaa has been killing it with new launches day by day. Few weeks ago they had launched the Matte-ilicious Lip Crayons and now these Pout Perfect Velvet Matte Lip Pencils.

I haven’t tried the Matte-ilicious Crayons, but have been trying out these ones since more than a week now.

Here are my thoughts..

Claims: Meet Nykaa’s Pout Perfect Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, a triple-action crayon that does it all! This perfectly pigmented crayon gives you the coverage of a matte lipstick, precision of a liner, and blendability of a blusher. The blend of Vitamin E and Shea Butter creates a plush texture that adds youthful plumpness in one hot minute! Line, fill and dab some of it on your cheek for a naturally flushed look.

  • Plush, velvet matte finish
  • Enriched with Vitamin E and Shea Butter
  • No feathering
  • One stroke application
  • Super long-wearing
  • Glides on effortlessly

MRP: Rs.499/- for 4.9g

Shades Available:

  • Please Plum Me
  • Kiss N Tell Pink
  • Crushing on Pink
  • Brick Me Red
  • Nude Me Not
  • Call Me Red, Darling

It comes in the black wooden pencil packaging with a shade matching base. Other crayon from Nykaa comes with a sharpener, so I wish this came with a sharpener too. These are so light weight, that you don’t even feel the box has anything if you hold the outer box.

These are very creamy and buttery, super moisturizing and glide on easily. Very light and comfortable on the lips, easy to carry around and re-apply.

Pigmentation is pretty good too, you get opaque coverage in two swipes. They stay for a pretty good time, I have worn it for 4-5 hours but with meal, they do fade away and have to be re-applied. These are not transfer proof though.

Only thing would be these are not matte, they have a slight sheen to it all the time. There are days when I don’t want something too drying and most of the days currently, so I do reach out for these often.

They come in 6 shades and all are pretty nice and interesting, one from each colour family.

Please Plum Me is a deep aubergine/plum

Kiss N Tell Pink is a medium fuchsia pink

Crushing on Pink is a medium peachy pink

Brick Me Red is a rust red

Nude Me Not is a cool toned grey beige/greige

Call Me Red, Darling is a warm coral red

I love Please Plum Me, Kiss N Tell Pink and Nude Me Not. I do recommend these, they are pretty good for the price. I only wish they were a little more matte and came with a sharpener.

Have you tried the new Nykaa Pout Perfect Velvet Matte Lip Pencils?

MRP: Rs.799/- (Buy HERE)

The packaging as you know is matte black with the shade co-ordinated base which makes it easy to find. The formula is super pigmented and matte, you get an intense colour pay off in one swipe. It comes with a sharpener and is easy to sharpen and use, the clean point gives a nice edge to define the lips.

These are not transfer proof,  but they stay pretty long, even the lighter colours. It has stayed on me for 5-6 hours minimum and fades a bit even after a full complete lunch with dal and curd. It doesn’t go away, but just fades and you can easily reapply it.

Coming to the shades..

06 Coraline Jones is a warm orange coral

07 Viola is a beautiful mauve nude

08 Jackie Brown is a reddish brown, would work for all skin tones, especially deep skin tones

09 Princess Peach is a true warm peach

10 Cherry Darling is a gorgeous deep cherry red

11 Elle Woods is brown nude, a good everyday shade

L-R: Coraline Jones, Viola, Jackie Brown, Princess Peach, Cherry Darling, Elle Woods

Here are the swatches..

I love all the shades, I can’t really choose and definitely recommend these. If I have to pick, I will say Viola, Jackie Brown and Elle Woods.

I would suggest Princess Peach, Elle Woods and Viola for fair to medium skin tones and Jackie Brown, Cherry Darling for deep skin tones. Actually both Coraline Jones and Cherry Darling would work for all.

I hope you liked the video and the swatches, do let me know your favourite shade in the comments below.
