Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon Peach me Review, Swatches, FOTD

By Pallavi

Hello Beauties,

I had some earlier lipstick collection. But they all had been quite boring for me. So, decided to dump my earlier lipstick stash and buy some new recent launches. I divided my current lipstick collection in 2-3 broad categories – nudes, everyday pinks, hot pinks and everyday reds. And with this intention in my mind I went for shopping. I had no plans of purchasing anything from faces but while I was passing through the faces store, I saw their recent launches. Any I thought why not update my lipstick collection with some recent launches. And thus, I jumped to the store. The SA was well informed and gave me time to try all the lipsticks which ever I liked. And finally I bought this new beauty.

So, here comes Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon – Peach me 08 for all you beauties. Read along to know if the product is worth purchase or not.

Price : Rs. 799 for 2.8 grams

Shelf life : 36 months from the date of packaging

Directions to use: Scrub your lips with either baby brush or sugar crumbs. Now, apply a lip balm underneath. Take the lip crayon and sharpen it to get the perfect crayon tip. Re-apply to get that perfect opaque finish.

Colour: Muted peachy pink

What Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon – Peach me 08 claims: A collection of lip crayons featuring timeless matte shades with superior color pigment & hydration.

From beautiful nudes to striking reds to shades of pinks and corals there’s a shade for everyone. Dresses up lips in statement shades in matte finish with rich, color-bright pigments, while being super comfortable on lips. Four super hot matte shades with light shimmer inspired from the backstage makeup.

My experience with Faces Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon – Peach me 08

This lip crayon from the house of faces comes in very attractive packaging. It is a thick crayon with product name, shade and other details mentioned on the crayon itself. The body of the crayon is in the shade of the lipstick. The cap is transparent so that you can see the tip of the crayon. It comes with a sharpener which can be used to sharpen the lipstick.

This lip crayon from faces comes in the pro matte range. The shade is peach me 08 which is perfect everyday peach. It is perfect for office wear as well as day outings. It will suit a number of skin tones and can serve as an MLBB shade for many girls. The lip crayon is matte but even then it is moisturizing. It does not settle into lip lines even after many hours of application. It stays evenly on lips. It easily survives lighter meals but fades away with heavier meals. It can stay with lighter meals and drinks. Anyways the shade lasts easily for 6-8 hours. The crayon is thick and it needs to be sharpened with daily usage. Now, this is the bad part. At least you need to sharp the product on every alternate day. I feel it’s too much of product wastage. Pigmentation wise the shade is pretty fine. Single swipe gives good amount of colour. But anyways you can re-apply the colour to build up the finish.

Conclusion – I am loving this shade and range both. This has become my everyday colour to office. Looking forward to trying more colours from this range.

  • No bothersome smell

Maybelline India Lip Gradation Info, Price, Shades, Swatches

Hi guys,

So finally Maybelline launched ColorBlur lip pencils/lip colours in India with the name ‘Lip Gradation‘. I rushed to the nearest Shoppers Stop today and found these 8 shades.

A little more about Lip Gradation: NEW COLOR SENSATIONAL LIP GRADATION

Go Bold Or Graded And Sexy On Your Lips With The New Color Sensational Lip Gradation. It’s time to experiment with your lip makeup. For the sexy, bold and adventurous woman, Maybelline New York brings international trends with the newest Lip Gradation. Available in 8 bright, matte shades, this double-sided lip product will inspire you to experiment with your looks and bring out your unique style and personality. The color stick at one end will give a gorgeous pop of color while the cushion blender tool at the other end will give a sexy, graded look. For a complete trend-on look, apply color on the centre of your upper lip and use the sponge smudger to extend the color to the outer edges till the contours of your lips or use it as a matte lip color or a lip liner.

Here’s why you will love it:

  • 8 bright, matte shades
  • Easy to apply
  • Fun, flirty, versatile way to color your lips
  • Innovative product with cutting edge technology

For Best Results: Apply Lip Gradation in the center of lips and blend outwards using the cushion blender.

Shades Available: 8

  • Red 1
  • Red 2
  • Pink 1
  • Pink 2
  • Fuchsia 1
  • Mauve 1
  • Orange 1
  • Coral 1

MRP: Rs.500/-

They come in a twist up crayon packaging and have to be twisted from the end, from where the blender is. There is a white blender on the other side. The crayon has a black cap and the blender has a transparent small cap.

The texture is super creamy, it feels like butter and the pigmentation is amazing too. And amazingly they have a nice, comfortable, matte finish.

You can either apply it to inner half and/or outer half and create a shaded effect with the blender or mix two shades for an ombre lip.

The shade names are very funny, how and why Red 1, Red 2 :/ Could have had better names.

Here are the swatches:

I got the Mauve shade, coz the reds and pinks looked pretty similar to lip crayons I already have. Loved Coral too, and was loving the look of Orange too. Maybelline has again not launched the super pretty burgundy and wine shades the ColorBlur Lip Pencils have 🙁

These are slightly priced on the expensive side for Maybelline, I think around 400-450 would have been an ideal price but nonetheless I have tried it once and like it, will update with the full review super soon 🙂 For all others who are looking to try this out, I would suggest getting the Coral and Mauve as both the shades are quite different.

Faces Ultime Pro Lip Matte & Starry Matte Crayons Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

After the Faces Ultime Pro Eyeshadow Crayon, today I am reviewing the Lip Crayons.

What the Company claims: The velvety texture of FACES Ultime Pro Lip Crayon helps the crayon glides effortlessly on the lips for a rich, creamy look in just one stroke. This lush, long lasting lipstick also gives you complete coverage for smooth and supple lips, while being super comfortable on lips. A waterproof formulation, FACES Ultime Pro Lip Crayon is also dermatologically tested and paraben free, and hence complete safe on your lips.

What’s more is that its long lasting stay ensures you do not have to do multiple touch-ups!

Available in 10 shades:

FACES ULTIME PRO STARRY MATTE LIP CRAYON- Obsession

FACES ULTIME PRO STARRY MATTE LIP CRAYON- Hot Wired

FACES ULTIME PRO STARRY MATTE LIP CRAYON- Sugar Coated

FACES ULTIME PRO STARRY MATTE LIP CRAYON- Lasting Kiss

FACES ULTIME PRO MATTE LIP CRAYON- Really Rust

FACES ULTIME PRO MATTE LIP CRAYON- Peach Me

FACES ULTIME PRO MATTE LIP CRAYON- Wrapped Up

FACES ULTIME PRO MATTE LIP CRAYON- Irresistible Pink

FACES ULTIME PRO MATTE LIP CRAYON- Smokin’ Hot

FACES ULTIME PRO MATTE LIP CRAYON- Midnight Rose

MRP: Rs.799/- for 2.6g (You get a sharpener worth Rs.125/- free)

It comes in 2 formulations i.e. Matte & Starry Matte, Matte is your normal matte crayon & Starry Matte has some shimmer. Today I am reviewing the shades Sugar Coated in Starry Matte & Midnight Rose in Matte.

It has the same packaging as the eyeshadow crayons. The crayons are colored according to their shades and have a transparent cap, they need to be sharpened.

The packaging is convenient and nice, but would have been better if these would have been retractable coz you will need to carry a sharpener everywhere along.

The texture is super creamy, they glide on like butter and are very pigmented too. You just two swipes for complete, opaque coverage on lips.

L-R: Sugar Coated, Midnight Kiss

These are not transfer proof and transfer a lot on cups, glasses, etc. Also they do not survive meals and fade off from the centre. They stay for around 4-5 hours if you do not eat or drink. They will need to be reapplied after a complete meal and will stay for 2-3 hours with drinking or light snacks.

I would have like a better staying power though and also it not getting transferred on everything every time.

L-R: Sugar Coated, Midnight Kiss

The shade ‘Sugar Coated’ is a bright neon peach with some fine gold shimmer. It goes a little patchy on the lips and accentuates dry patches.

The shade ‘Midnight Rose’ is a beautiful burgundy red, it goes super smooth and looks amazing. This shade would work on all skin tones and is also the most loved shade in this range.

Overall, I would say I like the Matte range more than Starry Matte, I am not a fan of shimmer, not sure if it is only this particular shade which looks a little patchy or all Starry Matte ones. These are again manufactured by Schwan Stabilo and are priced almost the same as other lip crayons in the market. Only issue is transferring and staying power.

I would recommend checking out the Matte Lip Crayons, especially the shade Midnight Rose.

December 2015 ‘The Party All Night’ Fab Bag Review

December 2015 ‘The Party All Night’ Fab Bag Review

Hi guys,

So I just now received the December Fab Bag and let me tell you it one of their best bags! One of my personal favourites.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.699/- per month

It’s ‘The Party All Night’ edition for the party season this month. They had an option to choose one bag of our choice of all the previous bags of 2015 and one product of our choice.

I went with this black heart bag which was their February Valentine’s Special since I did not have this one. And the product I chose is the Spa Ceylon Jasmine Face Masque as I had received the Foot Scrub from Spa Ceylon in October and I wanted to try out this masque.

Products in the bag:

  • Spa Ceylon White Jasmine Facial Masque -50g (Full size: Rs.2150/- for 100g)
  • Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon- Full size (Rs.799/-)
  • Bioderma Sensibio H2O 10ml sample (Rs.599/- for 100ml)
  • Kronokare The Frizz Kiss Cooling Explosion Lip Balm-Full size (Rs.95/-)
  • Aayush Headache Naashak Roll on 2ml bottle (Full size Rs.195/- for 10ml)

They have included Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon which I have reviewed HERE. The full sized one! That itself is priced at Rs.799/- plus it’s own sharperner. I already had the wine shade i.e. Poison Ivy and I was hoping and praying that I do not receive that, they are sending any one of the four shades at random. I really wanted to check out the Holly Golightly i.e. the nude shade as I do not own a nude lip crayon yet.

Another interesting product is the Kronokare Cooling Explosion Lip Balm which is in tube form and has a slanted applicator to directly use on lips and is in the form of clear jelly, but has a strong peppermint smell and as soon as you apply it, you actually feel the cooling explosion on the lips for about 10 minutes. It also claims to be used as a lip primer before using lipsticks, will test that out. But for now, I am really liking it coz my lips are so chapped that they hurt.

I loved the ingredients of the Spa Ceylon White Jasmine Facial Masque and immediately used it. I have this mask and the Kronokare lip balm ON right now while I review the bag 😀 I will do a complete, separate review of the masque after using it a few times.

A Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water 10ml sample. (Read complete review HERE) This is good to carry for travel but once opened, entire pack needs to be used as you cannot store and 10ml is good for 2-3 uses. But it’s a really nice makeup remover, so good to try out if you haven’t yet, be careful around the eye area though.

I have the Aayush Headache Naashak 10ml full size roll on and it is really good for headaches during cold, congestion and feels quite relieving, this small 2ml roll on is perfect to carry along.

Some also received a Clovia scarf, I am not sure if this bonus product is added randomly or how.

Overall, I have either used all the products in the bag and loved them or really wanted to try them. It’s a full value for money bag this time!! Definitely recommend getting the December bag, your Sugar Cosmetics Lip Crayon will only cover the cost of the bag for you. And for me the Spa Ceylon Jasmine Masque is also about Rs.1075/- additionally. Total value of the products comes to around Rs.2070/- plus the bag for the price of Rs.699/- 🙂

Totally worth it.

Did you get your December Fab Bag? What products did you get? Do let me know in the comments below.

Ingredients:

Made in Germany.

Size: 2.8 gm.

MRP: Rs.799/-

So I received this Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon last week, I have tried their Eye Told You So Eyeliner before which was a part of Fab Bag and quite liked it. Matte Lip Crayons are all the rage right now and I am glad they have come up with these and some interesting 4 shades. I have a lot of reds and pinks in Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tint and Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms, so I wanted to go for either nude or wine. Since it is fall/winter already which is perfect for deep burgundy/wine/berry shades, I went with Poison Ivy which is a beautiful berry wine shade.

It comes in this black fat crayon packaging with the base matching the shade. Sadly it is not retractable and one has has to sharpen it which leads to quite a lot of product wastage. Other than that, it is quite travel friendly.

Coming to the texture, it is very, very creamy and buttery. It glides on easily on the lips but that also means it does bleed and go out of the lines easily, so one has to be careful while applying. It is very pigmented and covers the entire lip well in 2 swipes.

It is on the creamier side and not completely matte, even after some time, you won’t see or feel a complete matte finish. It is not transfer proof and transfers a lot on cups, bottles, etc.

Staying power is ok, it stays for 4-5 hours without eating or drinking, but just 2-3 hours if you eat or drink and will fade and transfer while eating or drinking.

It does feel very light and comfortable on the lips. It is quite moisturising and will work on dry lips too, quite forgiving.

Poison Ivy is a beautiful wine/berry shade and perfect for this season, definitely a unique shade and not that other brands have in this category.

Price wise it is definitely priced higher. At 800, it is more expensive than Lakme too which is priced at 650 and offers 3.5g. I have not sharpened it yet, so not sure how long this would last, the qty is reasonable.

Overall I would say I am not very happy with the staying power and transferring, though these are moisturising and light. Also these are priced higher than other brands in this category and the qty too is lesser than them. But what Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon has, are two shades nude and wine i.e.Holly Golightly and Poison Ivy which other brands do not. So if you want a matte nude and/or wine lip crayon, I would suggest checking this out. For reds or pinks, I would suggest other brands. But if you have dry lips and are looking for matte yet creamy and moisturising lip crayon, then go for this.

You can buy it from their own website HERE or on the Fab Bag website HERE.

Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Pouts Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

I mentioned about the launch of the new Lakme Absolute Lip Pouts HERE. They have launches it in 6 matte and 10 creme shades. The matte shades are out already and the creme ones would follow soon.

What the Company claims: Lakme Absolute Lip Pout are a playful take on lip tints with excellent colour pay off. Lip Pout is your go-to lip tint for that effortlessly vibrant and playful look. So play with your pout & experiment with different lip trends.

MRP: Rs.650/- for 3.5g

Shades Available: 6

Tangerine Touch
Scarlet Rose
Magenta Magic
Raving Red
Pink Fantasy
Victorian Rose

Today I am reviewing the shades Tangerine Touch, Pink Fantasy and Raving Red.

On the pencils, they mention ‘Lip Tint’, I guess it is their old product Lakme Absolute Lip Tints which they have now re launched in these matte and glossy Lip Pouts version with a new name.

These come in a lip crayon format and have a twist up mechanism. The outer colors are according to the shades and all have a silver cap. The crayon format is very travel friendly too.

The texture and finish of this is completely matte and it kind of reminds me of the Inglot AMC Lip Pencils. These are decently pigmented but as expected very dry. You will definitely need a lip balm underneath and they are very unforgiving if you have dry lips and will accentuate them. So scrubbing lips is a must with these.

They stay for around 5-6 hours but do not survive meals, thankfully they fade off evenly. I think I expected more in terms of staying power and pigmentation. They transfer 1-2 times at first when they are not set which takes some time.

Pink Fantasy is a blue based rose pink

Tangerine Touch is a bright orange

Raving Red is a pinkish red

L-R: Tangerine Touch, Raving Red, Pink Fantasy

The colors are not something very unique or different, the usual normal basic shades, I feel there should have been 1-2 more shades like mauves, plums or bright Ruby Woo kind of red.

L-R: Pink Fantasy, Raving Red, Tangerine Touch,

I swatched the Pink Fantasy first, hence it looks better on the lips. By the time I swatched Tangerine Touch last, the scraping/removing the previous swatches made lips very dry, hence the Tangerine one looks patchy.

Here are these on me..

L-R: Tangerine Touch, Raving Red, Pink Fantasy

I also like Magenta Magic and Victorian Rose and would love to try those too. I absolutely love matte lipsticks and Pink Fantasy is my favourite out of these three, followed by Tangerine Touch.

I am so glad these are priced at Rs.650/- coz all new Lakme Absolute launches have been priced at around Rs.800 since quite some time.

Overall I would say, I am very happy that Indian companies are coming up with matte lipsticks and these convenient crayon forms. I only expected a bit more in terms of shades and staying power, I hope they come up with more shades. But at least they are priced decently, these are already out in the market and also available online.

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms Vivacious, Ingenue, Tease Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: High Shine Lacquer. Moisture Rich Balm

A lacquer finish that’s beyond brilliant. Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 8 collectible, craveable colors

EXPERT TIPS LIPS: For a polished and perfect lip look, apply foundation on and around the lips before lip color. Foundation helps to prep the lip area for a more flawless application and helps lip color last longer.

MRP: Rs.800/- for 2.7g

Shades Available: 8

  • Vivacious
  • Ingenue
  • Whimsical
  • Flirtatious
  • Tease
  • Coquette
  • Enticing
  • Coy

I guess Demure and Provocateur are not launched in India.

Both these Lacquer Balms and the Matte Balms launched together..see the review and swatches of the Matte Balms HERE.

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms come in a beautiful glossy metallic packaging. These are glosses in the form of lip crayons..super glossy but still pigmented.

If compared to the Revlon ColorBurst Kissable Balm Stains, these are more lighter in texture and glossier.

The composition of three butters Shea, Mango and Coconut make these super hydrating and moisturising..

They are quiet light in texture..you do not feel like you have applied anything on lips..feels like a lip balm. These are quiet pigmented..the swatches are just one swipe..and after the glossines fades away..the color stays for more hours..especially the deeper colors like Vivacious here.

These have the same peppermint smell like in Kissable Balm Stains and Matte Balms. All of the shades have super fine minute shimmer which is not even visible unless seen very very closely..but this helps giving the shades that glossiness and high shine.

L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious

145 Ingenue is a perfect MLBB shade for me..a nude brown..its an everyday shade.

130 Tease is a beautiful coral orange..it looks amazing on warm skin tone..my favorite of the 3..also wore it HERE.

120 Vivacious is a pretty rosy pink (None of those fuchsias or blue undertone pinks)

Here are the swatches..

T-B: Vivacious, Tease, Ingenue

And here are they on moi..

L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious

And an FOTD with Vivacious..

Pros:

1. Super glossy.

2. High pigmentation.

3. Moisturising.

4. Deeper colors stay longer.

5. Like the glossy packaging.

6. All 8 shades are quiet nice..there is one for everyone.

7. Feels quiet light on lips.

Cons:

1. Little expensive.

2. Not transfer proof.

3. Lighter colors don’t stay that longer.

Overall, I would say I like the light texture and glossines..and the shades too..all three and in fact all 8 are pretty and nice..and perfect for all occasions..the one like Ingenue works for your everyday wear, formal wear too..Tease is a must have according to me..my favorite of the three..it looks beautiful on warm skin tones like ours..Vivacious is a clean, pretty rosy pink..one of the natural pinks..that would look good on everyone..I recommend all three !  In fact Flirtatious, a nice deeper pink and Enticing, a pretty red, are also nice shades from this collection. If you are a red lover..or want to try reds..you can try something glossy and light like Enticing.

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balms Sultry and Unapologetic Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Velvety Matte Look. Moisture Rich Balm

A Matte finish that’s beyond plush.Balm that’s beyond comforting. Our Triple Butter Complex of Shea, Coconut and Mango butters nourishes lips. In 8 collectible, craveable colors.

MRP: Rs.800/- for 2.7g

Shades Available: 8

  • Elusive
  • Sultry
  • Unapologetic
  • Shameless
  • Audacious
  • Mischievous
  • Striking
  • Standout

The packaging is almost the same as the Revlon Kissable Lip Balm Stain..the retractable chubby pencils..the outer finish is though matte and darker..

They have the same peppermint smell and flavour as the Lip Balm Stains..though these Matte Balms and the Lacquer Balms have a blend of 3 butters..Shea, Mango and Coconut..which makes them more hydrating and moisturising..

Matte lipsticks and balms are not easily available across all brands..MAC makes good matte lipsticks..Revlon has a matte range..but very selected matte lipsticks are that good and hydrating too..these are matte with a velvety finish.

Revlon has almost nailed it with these Matte Balms..pigmentation- check, matte texture- check, staying power- check. Almost all good qualities of a matte lipstick/lip product..only thing is its not completely transfer proof..and cannot be layered for touch up..as it can go patchy..it needs to be removed and reapplied..

L- Sultry, R- Unapologetic

225 Sultry is a deep pink brown..supposedly MAC Twig dupe..but I am not really sure.

210 Unapologetic is a bright reddish coral pink..dupe of MAC Lipstick in Impassioned (Impassioned its slightly deeper) and Party Parrot – Limited Edition (Almost similar.. 95%)

I think Unapologetic is also the most loved shade in the Indian blogosphere..I personally love it ! Totally brightens up the face.. Also wore it HERE.

U- Sultry, D- Unapologetic

Here are the shades on me..

L- Sultry, R- Unapologetic

Lips look a little drier with Unapologetic coz Sultry was removed completely which left lips little dry..

And an FOTD with Unapologetic..

Pros:

1. Love the velvetty matte look.

2. Amazingly pigmented.

3. Staying power is pretty good.

4. All 8 shades are quite pretty..there is one for everyone..red lovers, pink lovers, especially Unapologetic is beauty bloggers’ favorite !

5. Hydrating..even though its matte.

6. Feels light on the lips.

Cons:

1. Not transfer proof.

2. Cannot be layered as goes patchy.

Overall, I am in love with the feel and texture of these matte balms..they score on all levels..Highly recommended !

Unapologetic is my most worn shade these days..I also love Audacious, Striking and Elusive..oh I think I love all the shades..the colors are all fab..

It stays on for 2-3 hours..the shine fades in an hour or so..but the color stays..and leaves a tint behind.

Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Nice packaging,

2. Easy to carry around.

3. Super glossy and moisturising..no need of a lip gloss or lip balm with this.

4. Quite pigmented.

5. Stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a tint.

6. Most reasonably priced lip crayon in the market.

Cons:

1. I would have loved more shades in this.

2. I wish it was sans shimmer.

Overall, its a nice buy..value for money..this shade Pomegranate Punch is the brightest and would look good on all skin tones..Recommend it !

So after the Revlon Kissable Balm Stain and Lakme Pop Tint, I tried the MUA Power Pout..


Packaging wise its exactly like the Revlon Balm Stain..retractable packaging with a cap and shade wise outer body..and even has that peppermint smell..and cooling feeling..


Texture wise, its veryy balmy..super glossy..its so much like a balm..that it melts and breaks..as you can see..more balmy than the Clinique Chubby Sticks too..it even repairs chapped or dry lips..

But color wise, its not as sheer as the Chubby sticks..and more pigmented..and once the glossiness settles, it gives a nice color..and stays for 3-4 hours and leaves behind a stain..

Crazy in Love is a bright juicy raspberry shade with some shimmer..I just love it..how it looks all glossy and juicy on the lips…I do not have a shade as fresh and juicy as this, in my stash..

Pros:

1. Super balmy and moisturising..it even heals dry lips.
2. Pigmented..and leaves behind a stain..not sheer kinds.
3. Super affordable.
4. Decent quantity.
5. 6 shades to choose from.
6. Love the shade..very fresh and brightens up the face.
7. Does not settle in fine lines.
8. Has castor seed oil, jojoba oil, shea butter and waxes in ingredients..so obviously works great as a balm too.

Cons:

1. Available online.
2. Melts and breaks.

Overall I love these..I wanted to try one but now I regret not getting all :p These are super balmy yet pigmented..and super affordable..Highly Recommend !
