Illamasqua Lipstick Immodest Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Let your lips speak volumes. Indulge in colour-intense lipstick with a highly pigmented formula, available in a choice of flawless finishes, from creamy matt to iridescent finishes. Illamasqua Lipstick glides on smoothly and doesn’t give up without a fight for the perfect all-night pout. A must have for professional make-up artists, and those who want to make a statement.

NET WT. 4g 0.14 OZ.
price per 10g £40.00

MRP: £16.00 (Approx Rs.1320/-)

Artist Tips: This formulation provides immediate intense pay off from the initial stroke and it can also be applied lightly as a lip stain that wears all day. Apply with an Angled Eye Liner Brush for a super sharp cupid’s bow.

Immodest is from the latest Illamasqua Spring ’13 Collection I’mPerfection..

It comes in a classic black packaging..with an Illamasqua edge on the ends..

Illamasqua website describes it as Vivid Pink, matt finish..its a true matte finish indeed..

I was surprised at the color at first..coz its a bright cool toned barbie pink..and  I thought it would not suit me..even after the hand swatch..but once applied on lips..it actually looked good and brightened the whole face..it did not wash me out as I expected it to..as generally barbie pink lipsticks do on warmer skin tones..

Quite similar to MAC Silly lipstick..which is an LE..yet to be launched in India..

This shade after seeing a lot of swatches and LOTD’s, I realise is a universally flattering shade..and would look equally good on both fair, medium and dusky skin tones..don’t go by the look of it..

T: 2 swipes, B: 1 swipe

Formula being a powdery matte finish..is very drying..and needs properly scrubbed and well moisturised lips..it does settle into fine lines..and is very unforgiving..not for those with dry lips..

Please excuse my messy hair and no makeup face..I was just playing around with the lipstick..and thought a lip swatch would not do justice to this color..and show as how it actually looks..

Topped with Revlon Colorburst Fuchsia

I wore it as it is…and topped with Revlon Colorburst Fuchsia..a brighter creamier hot pink..I loved the effect..and the color stayed longer too..

Pros:

1. Universally flattering shade.
2. Quite pigmented..two swipes gives fully opaque coverage.
3. Classy packaging.
4. Travel friendly.
5. Lasts for 4-5 hours.
6. Does not tug or pull like normal matte finish.

Cons:

1. Stains unevenly.
2. Quite drying and unforgiving..needs moisturised lips.
3. Not available here..you can buy it online HERE
4. Expensive.

Overall I would say its a perfect matte pink lipstick to have in your stash..I do not have any such shade in my stash..just as a girl needs a matte red like Ruby Woo, she also needs a matte pink..is’nt it ? 😉 Highly recommended.

FOTD: Gold and Berry Eyes for Indian wear

Hey guys, I am back with an FOTD..after many months I guess 😀

I wore a red and green punjabi suit to a friend’s wedding and went the gold and berry way with the eyes..well gold always looks good with our Indian dresses..and a tinge of plum, green or berry pink shades add some color to the gold and the combo looks pretty good..

I used the Sleek MakeUP Sparkle 2 Palette for this look…gold (Gold Ribbon) in the inner half and the berry wine with gold shimmer (Mulled Wine) in the outer half and crease..lined with a black liquid liner, kohl on the waterline and curled lashes and used Deborah Milano Absolute Hi Tech Mascara

Completed it with a rosy pink lipstick and a peachy gold blush..used Sleek MakeUP Rose Gold here..

Did you like it ? What combo do you use with gold ?

I have no words to describe this lipstick actually ! In one word its AWESOME..!

It has this long slender black square packaging..and shaped as a slim lipstick..super creamy..quite pigmented..and it has no smell at all..

Rose Brown as the name suggests is a medium pink with a hint of brown…a perfect MLBB for me..I am wearing it each and every day..I am so addicted to it..

Here is the swatch..

And here is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. Super creamy..I just love the texture..as good as a lip balm.

2. Its quite pigmented and I need just one swipe and can build up the color..but the shade is such that it never looks too bright.

3. The staying power is pretty good..and it leaves behind a tint even after a full meal.

4. No fragrance.

5. I am so in love with the shade..its perfect for Asian skin tones..and if you, like me, are addicted to MLBB shades..then this one is made for you 🙂

6. I loved the entire collection of shades..and also that it has more of pinks, corals, rosy browns and nude pinks and browns.

7. It does not settle into fine lines and gives a creamy finish to the lips.

Cons:

1. It gets collected at the outer edges..a common problem with these slim lipsticks.

2. Not available here..:(

I cannot think of any other cons..I am so in love with it..This is surely a must try..And it has 97% recommendation by users on its site too..Apart from Rose Brown, I also like Twilight, Uber Pink, Pink Buff, Coral Pink…sigh..so many !

  • Sienna Sparkle
  • Gold Dust
  • Hot Pink
  • Bronze Shimmer
  • Rose Pearl
  • Crystal Lilac
  • Orchid
  • Pink Ice
All of these shades have little shimmer..but not all are OTT..I loved the shade Papaya the most followed by Strawberry and Rose Gold.
Papaya is a true coral orange with very fine golden shimmer which are not much visible or do not bother much.
These glosses are non sticky and quite moistursing. I love the long sleek packaging of these..and the applicator is such that it exactly fits the shape of your lips. They have a sweet vanilla smell.
And this is how it looks on me..
You can buy it from Healthkart..they usually have discounts on it..
Pros:
1. These are totally non sticky and very creamy and moisturising.
2. Being a gloss they are quiet pigmented and stay for a good 2-3 hours on lips.
3. Though they are priced higher than other glosses the quantity they offer is also huge..I guess no gloss offers 5.9 ml of quantity.
4. These have a shelf life of 3 years..so do not worry if you have too much makeup and think you can never finish stuff.
5. The applicator wand is shaped to exactly fit the shape of your lips.
6. All the shades offered are pretty good.
7. The shimmer is very fine and not OTT and neither does it stray away from lips.
8. I like the long sleek packaging.
9. It has sweet almond,olive,chamomile and avocado extracts.
Cons:
I did not find any cons with it actually !
Overall I am in love with this…the shade, the texture, packaging, everything..

Lakme Lip Love Lipstick Aphrodite Blush Review,Swatches,FOTD


What the Company claims:

MRP: Rs. 550/-

Lakme had launched their Lip Love lipsticks last December…these are by far the costliest lipsticks Lakme has..but are they worth it..read on..

They have this metallic red ‘love’ embossed packaging..even the lipstick bullet has LOVE written on it..:p But the packaging is quite sturdy and nice and not the usual Lakme..

They come in 12 shades and have both lighter and darker shades to choose from..They have SPF 16 and are super creamy and hydrating.

The shade Aphrodite Blush is a peachy brown shade..which goes from a light to dark as its quite buildable..it can look more on the brown side on a few..

And here is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. These are quite pigmented..you need just a single swipe for the color which you can build up depending on how you like it.
2. Very creamy and moisturising.
3. Feel super light on lips.
4. I liked the packaging…and its quite sturdy too.
5. They do not have any particular taste and just a light scent.
6. SPF 16
7. These stay on for 2-3 hours on my lips which is fine.
8. These do not settle in my fine lines and do not accentuate them.

Cons:

1. Expensive…but these are quite good quality wise.
2. I would have liked more shades..in fact pinks and corals.

Otherwise no cons..I quite like them..and for the above question..yes these are totally worth it !

FOTD- Lakme ABSOLUTE Makeover

Uncategorized, , , ,
I got a makeover done at the Lakme Fab Lab using the new Lakme ABSOLUTE range of products.

The products used were

Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse
Absolute Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush in a soft pink shade
Absolute Plump and Shine in pink
Absolute Eye Chromatic Baked Eye shadow in light pink
Absolute Flutter Secrets Dramatic Eyes Mascara
Absolute Forever Silk Eyeliner in Blue Cosmos on the upper lash line and Black Last on the lower lash line

These pics are taken after 3-3.5 hours and after travelling..still the make up is quite proper. I loved the Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse..gives a nice dewy finish to the skin and is super light..gives medium coverage which is buildable. And also the Plump and Shine glosses..there is a tint on the lips even after so much time. The Flutter Secrets Mascara felt pretty good too. This range does last quite long if not upto their 16 hour claim.
