Faces Ultime Pro Eyeshadow Crayon Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

This review has been long pending, I am reviewing the Faces Cosmetics Ultime Pro Eyeshadow crayon today.

What the Company claims: Back to the glamourous Hollywood days in 70’s-80’s, these beautiful eyeshadow crayons will make you feel like a moviestaron the red carpet.Describing these eyeshadow collection as elegant will be an understatement, these are truly super chic!

MRP: Rs.599/- for 1.6g (Available on discount at Rs.479/- on Nykaa)

I am reviewing the shade ‘Staying Alive’ which is a gorgeous deep blackened purple shade with very fine blue shimmer. It comes in sharpenable crayon form. Both the eyeshadow and lip crayons have the same packaging with the transparent cap. I like the fact that the crayons are colored as per the shades making it easy to identify the shade. It doesn’t come with a sharpener and you need to either buy or have one of your sharpener for the thick eye crayons.

The texture is super creamy and these are very pigmented, you just need one swipe over your eyes and smudge it softly with a blending brush for the perfect 2 minute smokey eyes.

The shades Dancing Queen, Shes Got D Looks & Staying Alive are perfect for smokey eyes, either keep it soft for daytime smokey eyes by just lining thickly & smudging it with a pencil brush or go all out for night time smokey eyes by covering the lid and blending towards the crease softly with a blending brush.

It needs 1-2 minutes to set and complete your blending by then, once set, it stays put for quite a few hours. I won’t say it is completely smudge free, if you smudge your eyes a lot, it will spread a bit. But when undisturbed and eye has a primer base, it stays for a good 7-8 hours with very light fading.

The qty is half as that of lip crayons but then the qty you use for a lip product on every use is a lot more. This would stay a long time, though I don’t like the fact that a lot of product goes waste in sharpening and I prefer retractable option.

It is manufactured by Schwan Stabilo Cosmetics in Germany who make the best eye and lip products and most of the brands here get their products manufactured there.

Overall, I really like this and these are quite value for money, easy to use, convenient, travel friendly and economical. Highly recommend this. I would love if it was available in more colors though, Faces should launch more options in this.

Faces Canada Ultime Pro Lip Creme Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: ULTIME PRO LIP CRÈME is an absolutely super soft, smooth and moisturizing lipgloss that promises one stroke hi shine coverage. It is completely opaque, highly pigmented, does not transfer, bleed or feather and stays on for hours at a stretch. Inspired by the colors of mesmerizing cocktails, LIP CRÈME gives you the color intensity of the lipstick and luster of a gloss.This non-sticky LIP CREME comes with a doe-foot sponge applicator. It picks up the right quantity of the product.

MRP: Rs.649/- for 4.6ml

Shades Available: 6

  • Fuchsia Sparkler
  • Grape Martini
  • Hawaian Orange
  • Red Mary
  • Nude Mojito
  • Pinka Colada

Ingredients:

I am reviewing the shades Fuchsia Sparkler and Grape Martini today. It comes in a normal transparent round gloss packaging with a doe foot applicator.

Its like a liquid lipstick in texture. Super pigmented and rich, you need just one-two swipes for complete opaque color. It gives a glossy look which goes away after some time and the color stays on for 2-3 hours after which it fades away evenly. Its hydrating and does not require separate lip balm, non sticky and feels very light on the lips.

Fuchsia Sparkler is a bright fuchsia pink.

Grape Martini is a gorgeous grape color. (nothing like this in my stash) Unique and pretty.

So the pinks,reds and nudes might be common shades, I definitely suggest getting this for Grape Martini. I haven’t seen Hawaian Orange but that sounds good too.

Top- Fuchsia Sparkler, Bottom- Grape Martini

These are travel friendly too. Also the quantity is superb, though the price is slightly higher. I wish all brands came up with half quantity and price and mini versions, so that we can try to finish the products too,which usually never happens!

Left- Fuchsia Sparkler, Right- Grape Martini

Overall, I love the shade Grape Martini. I like the pigmentation and ease of use of these Lip Cremes. These are indeed like rich,creamy liquid lipsticks. Though the staying power is normal, you can reapply them anywhere with ease. Definitely recommend!

Faces Canada Hydro Range-Makeup Remover,Cleanser,Toner Review

Faces Canada Hydro Range-Makeup Remover,Cleanser,Toner Review

What the Company claims: Faces Hydro Makeup Remover: This gentle, water based formula works quickly and gently removes face and other makeup. It is an excellent antioxidant agent which prevents skin from free radicals & improves tone to give you a perfectly cleansed & rejuvenated face.

Faces Hydro Cleanser: This extremely hydrating formula cleanses skin and maintains it’s natural moisturizers. It is a deep cleanser that gently protects your skin while keeping it fresh, clear and radiant.

Faces Hydro Toner: This gentle and soothing toner hydrates the skin keeping it perfectly clean & soft. It tones the skin and defines pores for a clearer complexion.

MRP: 

FACES Hydro Makeup Remover- Rs. 399/- for 100 ml
FACES Hydro Cleanser- Rs. 399/- for 100 ml
FACES Hydro Toner- Rs. 399/-  for 100 ml

Ingredients & Directions:

All three come in a white bottle with a tight cap packaging. The cap is very tight and although that makes it good for travelling, a little difficult to shut it close daily when using it. The Makeup Remover and toner have spray nozzle and the cleanser has the small pump dispensor.

Makeup Remover is a watery liquid in spray form and does remove the makeup effectively. All three a part of the same regime and are followed one after the other. Removing makeup is the first step of course. Only issue is the eyes need to be shut tight and the lips too, or else it tastes horrible bitter when goes anywhere near the lips and stings a bit near the eyes. I use a separate makeup removing cream for eyes.

Makeup Remover, is followed with the Cleanser. Its a white colored lotion like a cleansing milk, which is just massaged on the skin and wiped off with a moist cotton. It helps in removing any extra dirt or makeup left behind from the makeup remover and cleanses completely well. Its not a foaming cleanser but just a cleansing milk, which aids the process of deep cleansing or removing any residue.

Last step is the toner, which is just sprayed all over the face. (You can either use it directly or spray on a cotton first) And then at the end I soak everything up by just pressing a tissue on the face. A Clarins skin care expert told me never to let toners or face mists dry on the skin as I usually did before, as that leads to more drying skin. It needs to be blotted out and never left to dry. The toner is very very mild and alcohol free. It tastes bitter too when goes near the lips, so mum your lips when spraying.

Overall, its a nice three step system that works decent and good to carry around too. I am not much of a toner person, but the spray ones still make me give them a try and I liked this one. The quantity of 100ml would last a good time and they are not very highly priced. Economical, and also make good travel companion.

Pantene Pro-Vitamin Oil

Step Out In Style with the All New Pantene Pro-Vitamin Oil

Get the 24 – hour nourishment of the

 non-sticky hair oil inspite of staying outdoors!

v  The new Pantene Pro-Vitamin Hair Oil instilled

with an almond oil formula which gives your hair 24-hour nourishment

v   Its non-sticky  nourishing quality  infuses the hair with strength and prevents hair fall

Gone are the days when one would refrain from stepping out of the house with the fright of embarrassment caused by oily hair. Pantene, for the first, launches a Pro-Vitamin Hair Oil instilled with an almond oil formula which gives your hair 24-hour nourishment, infusing it with strength and thereby, preventing hair fall. More importantly, its an amalgamation of completely non-sticky and nourishing qualities, making it an ideal oil meant for outdoors – almost like a fashion accessory, you’d love to flaunt without any embarrassment! Apart from the wide gamut of benefits it lends your hair with, the oil is a perfect accomplice for styling, strengthening, nourishing and reaping the benefits of the advanced Pro-V almond oil formula all at the same time.

“Pantene’s Pro-V Hair Oil is not just any ordinary oil that you apply, but one that enhances your look and ups your fashion quotient; Oil that you can step out with because it’s stickiness is barely noticeable,” says face of Pantene, Shilpa Shetty.

The key behind the efficacy of all Pantene products lies in Pro-Vitamin B5, otherwise known as Panthenol, which has remarkable qualities to improve and maintain healthy hair, its strength and elasticity. Studies have revealed that Pro-Vitamins penetrate deep into the cortex of each hair strand. The two ingredients that make-up Pantene’s Pro-Vitamin complex – Panthenol and Panthenyl Ethyl Ether – are carefully coupled in the formulation to restore health and shine from within.

Explains Pantene Hair Expert Coleen Khan, “I personally am of the opinion that oiling is extremely beneficial for your hair but I have seen many girls refrain from oiling due to the stickiness. Almond oil in particular has exceptional benefits! Being a rich source of magnesium it works wonders in preventing hair fall. What’s more, Pantene’s Pro-V oil promises to nourish your hair and prevent the stickiness altogether!”

Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lipstick Peach Blush Review, Swatches

FACES Ultime Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick 05 Peach Blush Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Matte finish for the uber chic! A vivid color burst that lasts more than 8 hours. Enriched with Vitamin E and anti-aging oxidants. Creamy texture gives smooth, water proof high coverage. Available in a range of swanky shades.

Comes in 10 shades..

MRP: Rs.599/- for 2.5g

It comes in a long sleek matte packaging..quite chic..

Peach Blush is no peachy peach..its a dusty pink brown shade..an MLBB for me..very wearable..I guess it will look good on everyone..

The finish is semi matte..not as matte and drying as the Maybelline 14H Superstay but not those moisturising and creamy types too..but since this shade is light..it does not stay on for long..max 3-4 hours..and fades away later..

T: 2-3 swipes, B: 1 swipe

Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Chic packaging.
2. Semi matte finish.
3. Stays for 3-4 hours..darker shades would stay on longer.
4. Very comfortable finish..non drying.
5. Peach Blush would suit everyone..an everyday wearable shade..to the office or anywhere..an MLBB for many.

Cons:

1. Qty offered is too less..just 2.5g 😮
2. Expensive for this qty.
3. All shades have same black packaging..no differentiation.
4. Lighter shades like these have less staying power.

Overall I do like the texture and finish..love the shade..I only wish it was priced lower..I notice everything in Ultime Pro range is priced high..I wonder why..and also the qty could have been a little more..atleast 3.5g..check this out at the store and try if it works for you..I am eyeing the shade Read My Lips..

Faces I Shine Quartet Eye Shadow Review, Swatches

Faces Cosmetics I Shine Quad Pink Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Go creative with these gorgeous shades which are easily blendable. High-quality formula provides crease-free uniform coverage. Vitamin E and almond oil enriched for added nourishment and comfortable wear.

Available in 4 Shades:

Pink
Blue
Green
Purple

MRP : Rs.599/- for 4g

Directions and Ingredients:

I love the round shape of this quads..inspired by Giorgio Armani Beauty Eyes to Kill Eyeshadow Quads 😀 Only difference is the sponge tip applicator in this..in the centre..But the shape surely makes it attractive, easy to carry and they clasp tight..so no breakage issues..

All shadows are frost or satin finish..shimmery but not glittery..they are buttery smooth in texture and blend well..decently pigmented too..stay on for 5-6 hours without a primer..wit minimal creasing.

Shades are:

  • Frosty lavender pink
  • Satiny cranberry pink
  • Satiny pale pink
  • Frosty ivory pink

Dual sided sponge applicator is not of much use though..I did an EOTD with this quad for the Valentine’s look..check it out HERE

Pros:

1. Nicely pigmented.
2. Attractive packaging.
3. Buttery smooth in texture and blends well.
4. Stays on for 5-6 hours.
5. Cranberry pink works with many Indian outfits.

Cons:

1. I think these should have been priced around Rs.450-500/-
2. I wish there were 1-2 matte shades and a beige-ish highlighter too..that would have completed the quad…instead of similar frosty pinks.

Overall I do like these quads.the quality is nice..and they look good and work well too..only if 1-2 shades were replaced..I think I would have liked this quad more..

Do check out the blue one..its quite gorgeous.
