Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick in 11 Greige Rage (Rs.499)
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask (Rs.250)
Kronokare City Detox Face Wash 30ml (Rs.150)
Yuana Premium Hair Oil 50ml (Rs.337)
I had an option to pick one Sugar product from all the Sugar products and shades including the new Creme Lipsticks and the Smudge Me not new 10 shades.
I liked 1-2 shades in particular from the new additions and picked Greige Rage. I quite like this shade and happy with my choice 🙂
Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick Greige Rage
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask looks interesting, I haven’t tried it yet and look forward to trying it out.
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask
Rest two are deluxe sized samples, the Kronokare City Detox Face Wash is a repetition which I am not happy with. Yuana Hair Oil looks decent but it has mineral oil in ingredients which I am not too excited about.
The total value of the products in the bag comes to Rs.1236/-
Overall I would say it’s an ok bag. If you are looking to get a new Sugar product anyway, then you can go for it as you get your product plus three additional things. Otherwise you can skip this month’s bag.
Did you get your October Fab Bag? What did you receive?
After nail paints, Stay Quirky has launched lipsticks now. I got all 24 shades and have reviewed and swatched for you all.
MRP: Rs.275/- for 4.2g (Currently on sale at Rs.199/-) (Buy HERE)
They come in a small, rectangular packaging. The names are all super quirky, the shade options are really good. They have conventional neutrals to bold reds and berries to unconventional yellow, blue, green.
The best part is the price, they are pretty affordable and offer a pretty good qty.
The formula is semi matte, it does have a little shine initially but it settles off in some time. These are creamy and moisturizing and comfortable on the lips.
They are not transfer proof and stay for about 3-4 hours, the darker colours do leave a nice stain.
I highly recommend trying them for the price, especially if you wanted to try an unconventional shade or experiment a bit.
Here are all the swatches..I have divided them into 4 parts of 6 each i.e. from 1 to 6, 7 to 12, 13 to 18 and 19 to 24

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.

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
Have you tried the new Sugar Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks?
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
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
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 😀
Which shade did you like the most? Do let me know in the comments below.

Hi guys,
So I attended Lakme Fashion Week today and saw the new Lakme Absolute launches: Lakme Absolute Oil-in-Serum, Oil-in-Cream and Serum Foundation. Also the new Luxe Matte Lip Colours, I have swatched them all for you guys.
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.

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
Dewy Spring
Mauve Silk
Grand Fuchsia
Red Velvet
Rosy Lips
Peachy Carnation
Crimson Town
Rich Cocoa
MRP: Rs.800/- for 2g
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.

They are one of my most favourite lipstick collection from Lakme, Pink Fantasy is a forever favourite. I am glad they have added interesting shades in this range.
Pigmentation and staying power is pretty good, the orange shade is still a little patchy like last time. Even the Role A Cola. Loving the nudes in this range.

Cherry Bite is a cool toned medium red

They come in a square black packaging and have a round, flat bullet. These are not matte but not extremely glossy either, a normal semi matte finish.
I love the pigmentation and staying power of these, they do survive meals and don’t go away completely. With touch up you can pretty much wear them all day. And they are very light and comfortable on the lips.
The five new shades launched are:
L-R: The Twilight Rose, Brownton Abbey, Call Me Salmon, True Oxblood, Six Feet Umber
07 The Twilight Rose is a medium neutral rosy pink. Perfect everyday wear shade
08 Brownton Abbey is a medium milk chocolate brown, can be a good MLBB for deep skin tones
09 Better Call Salmon is a peachy nude (pink brown mix) Another MLBB for fair to medium skin tones
10 True Oxblood is a berry with pink undertones, good night time shade.
11 Six Feet Umber is a berry brown mix and my absolute favourite. This shade is universal and will work on all skin tones

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.

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
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.
