Avon Glimmersticks Ultra Brights Eyeliner GD008 Purple Punch Review, Swatches, EOTD

What the Company claims: Brighter and more intense color for electrifying eye look.

Lasts upto 12 hours waterproof and smudgeproof
Automatic sharpening for precision Lining

Shades Available: 4

  • Purple Punch

MRP: Rs.399/- for 0.28g

Avon already has Glimmersticks eyeliners and they are pretty known and famous and quiet good..I had reviewed the shade Nocturnal HERE.

They have launched these Glimmersticks Ultra Brights now..but not sure why the prices increased so much from Rs.259/- directly to Rs.399/- though they are mostly on offers..

Glimmersticks are generally metallic shades or ones with shimmer..these are matte but bright..

It goes on smooth and is quite creamy..no tugging or pulling..but requires layering for the intensity..atleast 2 swipes..not multiple though. Stays on for 6-7 hours before fading off.

Purple Punch is a matte bluish purple shade..

Pros:

1. Pretty brights.
2. Smudge proof and does not spread around.
3. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
4. Mechanical and retractable..so no wastage.
5. Matching shade at the end to identify.

Cons:

1. Needs to be layered twice for the intensity.
2. Only available through an Avon rep.

Overall I liked this shade..but would have loved it more had the pigmentation been better..the previous Glimmersticks were more pigmented..or may be its just this shade..I am not sure..but definitely worth a try..especially on offers.

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: No..not this shade..may be some other.

Have you tried the Avon Glimmersticks Ultra Brights Eyeliners ?

Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreens Review

Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreens SPF50-Hydrating and Mattifying Review

I had mentioned about the launch of these Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreens HERE

What the Company claims: Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen is apt for women with very little or no time to layer their skin with multiple products. What makes this new Sunscreen from Lakmé “super” is the fact that it feels great on your skin and does not leave a white patchy appearance. For the first time, a sunscreen by India’s no 1 brand, Lakmé, is giving you dual benefits. Its sheer lightweight formula gets absorbed so easily that it can be worn alone, over a moisturizer or under your Lakmé 9to5 make-up.

The new Lakmé 9to5 Super Sunscreen comes in two variants:
·         Lakmé 9to5 Hydrating Super Sunscreen – for normal to dry skin
·         Lakmé 9to5 Mattifying Super Sunscreen – for oily skin

NORMAL TO DRY SKIN- Lakmé 9 to 5 Hydrating Super Sunscreen + SPF 50 PA +++ : Beautify your skin with nourishing vitamins along with broad-spectrum UV protection.

Enriched with vitamins, it helps you reduce spots and lightens your skin tone. SPF PA 50+++ keeps you away from tan and sunburns caused by the harsh sun rays. This summer, acquire a nourished, hydrated and even skin tone.

  • Contains Vitamin B3 and Provitamin C
  • Fights against UVA and UVB rays

Hydrating Sunscreen Ingredients:

OILY SKIN- Lakmé 9 to 5 Mattifying Super Sunscreen + SPF 50 PA +++ Prevent your skin from tanning and sunburns with oil control benefits and flaunt an even skin tone.

Specifically designed for oily skin with oil control benefits, its non-sticky formula leaves your skin feeling non-greasy. SPF 50 PA +++ fights against the harsh UVA and UVB rays to protect your skin from tanning and sunburns. Flaunt your flawless even toned skin this summer!

  • Dermatologist tested
  • Non-comedogenic (Does not clog pores)
  • Hypoallergic

Mattifying Sunscreen Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.500/- for 30 ml (each) (Buy on Flipkart here)

Both come in a beige colored packaging with a golden cap. Both also have SPF50 PA+++ and UVA/UVB protection.

It has the same lemongrass kinda smell that Lakme’s sunscreens have. Both are white in color..the mattifying one is like a thicker cream and the hydrating one is normal..slightly runny lotion.

I have used either/or/both and in all possible ways..like only this and only that and both in combination too..for my oily T-zone the mattifying..and for rest the hydrating.

Both are non sticky and did not sweat me out or anything like a few sunscreens do..mattifying one needs a lot of blending as it leaves a whitish cast behind.

I have worn it under makeup and there were no issues at all..I love the texture of both of these..mattifying one does really control oil !

Hydrating one also has Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and Provitamin C which also helps in lightening dark spots, etc.

And the best part is, it helps in controlling tan too..I have been out in scorching heat,wearing this, a few times..and I did not get tanned at all..

Though, I would agree its slightly overpriced..I mean it could have been priced at around Rs.350-400/-

Overall, I would say I like them..how non greasy and light weight they are with the sun protection they offer and protect from tan too. I would recommend the Mattifying one for oily skin and the Hydrating one for dry skin..and for combination skin like mine..Mattifying for summers and Hydrating may be for winters..

Maybelline Colossal Kohl Turquoise Review, Swatches, FOTD

Maybelline The Colossal Kohl/Kajal Turquoise Review, Swatches, FOTD

So, if you follow me on my facebook page or Instagram, you must have seen this already ! The new Maybelline Colossal Turquoise Kajal..I had done a look with it..I received it in Feb but since I was supposed to be hush hush about it before, I was mum :p

Ok anyways, now since its officially launched and you can lay your hands on it too..let me review it for you guys..

What the Company claims: Go all out with glamourous eyes in the most exciting Colossal Kohl- Turquoise which LINES like a kohl and DEFINES like a liner. Turquoise kohl is a refreshing twist on the conventional black kohl and a must have fashion and beauty accessory. Here’s why you’ll love it:

Provides 12 hours of smudge free turquoise intensity
Color doesn’t smudge or fade
Enriched with nourishing ingredients and Vitamin E to soothe the eye
Features a unique tip that glides smoothly for an even application
100% suitable for your eyes

MRP: Rs.249/- for 0.35g (Buy on Flipkart here)

It comes in the same yellow retractable pencil packaging as the Maybelline Colossal Kajal Black..only with the metallic blue script on it..

Since turquoise blue is perfect for summers, Maybelline came up with this shade..

Its a metallic turquoise blue shade with some minute shimmer..I would not say its as pigmented as the black kajal..though its smooth but needs to be layered for the color to show up.

Also its a little soft and breakable..

The color stays for a good 6-7 hours on the upper lashline but on the lower lashline, it stays for 2-3 hours..before it fades off..there is no smudging or flakes issue.

Here I have done a winged liner with it on the upper lashline..and connected it to the lower lashline..and used the black Colossal Kajal on the waterlines..

And an FOTD :p

Pros:

1. Nice bright summer color.

2. I like the fuss free, travel packaging as the black kajal..with the metallic blue script.

3. Pops up the eyes.

4. Is smooth to use…no tugging.

5. Stays for 6-7 hours on the upper lashline.

6. Does not smudge or flake.

Cons:

1. Not that pigmented..needs to be layered.

2. Does not stay longer on the lower lashline.

Overall, I would say its a nice refreshing change from the usual blacks and browns..also this bright blue is actually perfect for summers for popping up the eyes. Definitely worth a try !

L’oreal Paris Rouge Caresse Lipsticks Review, Swatches

L’oreal Paris Rouge Caresse Lipsticks Mauve Cherie and Irrestible Espresso Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: The Rouge Caresse lipstick has a flutter of kissable, soft, colour. Its delicate texture glides onto lips creating a veil of colour with a luminous shine. It adds a desired pop of color with a meltingly soft application. The lipstick contains light oils, crystalline wax, transparent blenders and pearl pigments that deliver true color with a weight-less comfort.

MRP: Rs.499/- for 2.5g

Shades Available: 10

  • Mauve Cherie
  • Cheeky Magenta
  • Sweet Berry
  • Dating Coral
  • Hypnotic Red
  • Impulsive Fuchsia
  • Irresistible Espresso
  • Rock N Mauve
  • Rose Mademoiselle
  • Aphrodite Scarlet

First of, I love the packaging..the gold L’oreal Paris panel at the centre..where it shut clicks..and the transparent outer..looks nice..it has a sweet fruity smell but not too overpowering..

There are reds,corals,mauves and browns in this range.

It has this super glossy sheen to it..and the color in the tube looks like so bright but when you apply them, they are just like glosses..goes smooth and gives that shine and colour..

They are quite moisturising too and easy to apply..you don’t even need a mirror with these lipsticks 😀

They stay for around 2 hours without eating/drinking..staying power is the only issue with these..but then you can easily reapply..super easy to touch up as I mentioned before..it leaves behind a soft stain which stays for another 1-2 hours.

L- Mauve Cherie, R- Irrestible Espresso

102 Mauve Cherie is a true mauve shade.

602 Irresistible Espresso looks brown in the tube..but its quite a wearable glossy milky brown..good for office wear.

T- Irrestible Espresso, B- Mauve Cherie

And here are they on me..

L- Mauve Cherie, R- Irrestible Espresso

Pros:

1. Lip gloss in lipstick form.

2. Moisturising.

3. Wearable colors..there is one for everyone..reds,corals,pinks,mauves,browns.

4. Very glossy.

5. Easy to apply and for touch ups.

6. Chic packaging.

7. Economical.

8. Feels light on the lips.

Cons:

1. Transfers.

2. Staying power is not so good.

Overall, I would say, these are good for daily use..when you need a light wash of color with the sheen..or even for your formal everyday wear..and something you don’t mind touching up. But not for days when you need full impact color or long staying pigmented lipstick. Not a must have but worth a try.
