Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lipstick Peach Blush Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,
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..

EOTD: Hues of Pink

Valentine’s Day Special EOTD: Hues of Pink

Its that time of the year again..yes its valentine’s day tom..the day when we all adore everything red and pink 😉

Pink eyeshadows are very difficult to carry..and not all pinks suit everyone..its like test and try to know..I did a soft romantic pink look last year this time..check it out HERE..this time the pinks are deeper and slightly frostier..

I used all the colors from Faces I Shine quad in Pink for the look..

I used the fourth shade all over the lid as a base..and the 3rd in the crease..and the 2nd in the outer V..and the first to highlight brow bone and inner corners..I lined eyes with an aubergine eyeliner (L’oreal Paris Super Luminizer)

I did think of adding a purple or brown..but then thought of sticking to one palette..and to the theme of pink 😀

Did you like the look ? Do let me know in the comments below..

Faces Go Chic Lipgloss 14 Sheer Coral Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Light, glossy lip tint.
A sponge tip applicator for easy and quick application, with several shades to choose from.
With soothing Vitamin E for extra moisture.

MRP: Rs.199/- for 7.5ml

Available in 15 shades..

Ingredients:

It is the most economical lip gloss offering the most qty..just like the Go Chic Lipsticks..see review HERE

I am loving the Go Chic range..

They come in a normal sleek packaging with the sponge slant applicator..

These are quite sheer and not at all sticky..but very moisturising..can replace lip balms too..

Sheer Coral is a sheer true peachy coral..no shimmer or sparkle..almost colorless on lips..stays for one-two hours without eating or drinking.

Only issue is it would not cover pigmented lips as they are quite sheer and almost colorless with just a hint of color and glossiness..

Here it is on me..

Pros:

1. Super moisturising…coz of the castor oil and beeswax.
2. Very economical.
3. Non sticky.
4. 15 shades to choose from.
5. Easy to use packaging..and travel friendly.

Cons:

1. Very sheer..would not cover pigmented lips.
2. Staying power is less..as with all non sticky lip glosses.

Overall I quite like these..I love the price and qty..and the shades to choose from..I wish they were tad more pigmented..

Available for Rs.169/- HERE

Faces Go Chic Lipstick 31 Prairie Pink Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Long stay, extra-shine lip colors.
Super stay, easy to apply Lipstick gives uniform coverage. Repair your lips against climatic changes. Get ready for rich, long lasting color in just one swipe.

MRP: Rs.199/- for 4.5g (Available for Rs.169/- on flipkart and medplusbeauty)

Ingredients:

It comes in a simple no fuss metallic silver body..has a somewhat sweet smell..but not too bothersome..

Prairie Pink is a coral peachy pink..it has a hint of all..quite a unique shade..despite having so many lippies I do not think I have any shade like this..I love how the shade brightens the face..it will suit medium and fair skin tones..not too sure about dusky..

I thought Colorbar Take Me As I Am Flirtatious Pink could come closer but this is much deeper..and that has hint of brown and no coral..

It goes on super smooth and is quite moisturising..no need of a lip balm beneath..it gives a semi matte finish..I am amazed by the pigmentation and staying power of this ! It is super pigmented and in 2 swipes comes up full bright..and stays for 4-5 hours leaving behind a strong tint..even the swatch on my hand did not budge easily..

T:1 swipe, B:2 swipes

Pros:

1. Super pigmented.
2. Very creamy and moisturising.
3. Stays for 4-5 hours.
4. Simple no fuss packaging.
5. Super economical..its the cheapest in terms of price and with the most qty amongst all drugstore lipsticks and being so good.
6. Comes in 34-35 shades !
7. The shade Prairie Pink is the most unique shade in my stash..would suit medium and fair skin tones..and brightens the face instantly.

Cons:

1. The bottom of the lipstick feels a little shaky..so it should be handled well..or would break off.

No other cons..I am amazed and so loving this lipstick..Lakme and Maybelline Moisture Extreme are also priced more than this..and still do not have this amazing pigmentation and staying power..and at 169..this is so fab..and perfect for gifting too..plus more than 32 shades..there is one for everyone..Surely recommend this !

I know a few shades like Mulberry, Hazelnut, Fig, Poppy Red and Candy Floss are quite popular..surely checking them out..

Faces Styling Brush Large Review

Faces Anti Static Premium Styling Hair Brush Large Review

What the Company claims: Styling Brush- Large

Smooth, round-ended bristles penetrate hair safely for gentle styling. Anti-static rubber pad gives maximum grip and control. Suitable for all hair lenghts and textures.

MRP:  Rs.179/-

Faces has a huge variety in hair brushes..Check them out here



Its a white colored brush…perfect to carry along..it has a similar smaller version too..the rubber pad does have a good grip and the smooth, round ended bristles make styling easy..it goes on smooth without causing much of hair fall..and helps get rid of tangles
easily..


Though I like cushioned and broader brushes more, and I would have preferred it to be cushioned, but since its not broader, its good for travelling as it does not occupy much space..

Overall, if you are not into cushioned brushes or you finding one good brush for travelling, then you should check out this or the smaller version..

Faces Glam On Lip Gloss Cupcake Review, Swatches



What the Company claims: Get the color and vanilla flavour on your lips!

Enriched with Vitamin E, it is engrossed with high moisturizing emollient that apart from adding diva factor to your personality nurtures your lips. It is easy to apply and leaves a trail of high shine lip gloss, so no need to add on shine. Moreover it leaves your lips fragrant with a slight flavour of vanilla, which all the way makes them more kissable.

MRP: Rs. 449/- for 5.6ml

Shades Available:

  • Bare It All Pin
  • Charity
  • Chilled Cherry
  • Coral Fusion
  • Crystal Clear
  • Cupcake
  • Icicles
  • Innocence
  • Luxe
  • Maple Fudge
  • Tickled Pink

I am reviewing the shade 051 Cupcake..its a sheer baby pink gloss with some silver shimmer..it has a sweet vanilla smell..which I loved..but no taste..

Its a long sleek normal lip gloss packaging..and has a slanted applicator..its non sticky and quite moisturising…stays on for 2-3 hours which is good enough for a lip gloss..
Here is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. Has a nice vanilla smell.
2. Quite moisturising.
3. Many shades to choose from.
4. Stays for a good 2-3 hours.
5. Non sticky.
6. 5.6 ml is a huge quantity for a lip gloss.

Cons:

1. Expensive. I know Revlon Colorburst are priced the same..but those are much more pigmented and better.
2. Availability is an issue.

Overall these are decent lip glosses..if they were priced at around 300-350..it would have been better. I quite like the vanilla smell…the shade Cupcake is sheer baby pink..and can be used to top up all lipsticks..and can even be used alone..perfect to be paired with smokey eyes.
