Sugar Cosmetics Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics is adding new products to their collection and this time it’s matte liquid lipsticks! I love Sugar lip products and hence was quite excited to try these out. Read on to know how they fare..

There is also a video if in case you are interested in that..

Claims: If you’ve ever lusted for a “one-coat wonder” product for your lips, your search ends here. Get a full-blooded burst of pigment with just a single swipe of the SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick that will stay the day and right up till the night! Wine, coffee & date-proof – this is a matte lipstick that is guaranteed to last longer that your longest day. Available in 10 stunning shades that will make it difficult to choose – the question is, are you ready to commit to a lipstick that is built to last?

How to Apply: For precise application, apply it to your bottom lip first and then tend to your upper lip. Since the formula is very pigmented, we suggest applying the colour to the bottom lip first, pressing your lips together and then filling in your Cupid’s bow.

Our favourite mattifying fix contains a generous helping of Vitamin E and comes in a full range of 10 gorgeous shades that is guaranteed to make your OOTDs stand out!

Size: 4.5ml

Shades Available: 10

  • 01 Brazen Raisin
  • 02 Brink of Pink
  • 03 Tan Fan
  • 04 Plum Yum
  • 05 Rust Lust
  • 06 Tangerine Queen
  • 07 Rethink Pink
  • 08 Wine and Shine
  • 09 Suave Mauve
  • 10 Drop Dead Red

I have 4 shades with me..

Brazen Raisin: Looking to announce every entry of yours without saying a word? Up your lip game to bold burgundy with the Brazen Raisin shade that’s as addictive as it is badass!

Brink of Pink: Raring to have a carefully careless day with your BFFs where good times aren’t measured by the hour? Sport Brink of Pink with its dusty mauve hue to amp up the smile on your lips and the laughter in your heart!

Tan Fan: A fan of deep-toned taupe that defines the timeless nude of the 90s? Get your hands on Tan Fan with its muted brown and pink that will give you the perfect look to pair with smokey eyes

Rust Lust: Walk into every room like you own it with Rust Lust – a terracotta red shade that strikes a delicate balance between the reds and the browns to make your pout stand out without a hint of doubt!

The packaging is exactly like the Maybelline Lip Polish. It is transparent with a black cap and the clear product inside in the shape of a lipstick bullet at the end.

The wand is slightly small and not doe foot, but that help in being precise on the corners though. You do not get a lot of product in one dip as the dispensing hole is narrow and you may have to dip twice to cover the lips well.

It has a faint vanilla scent which is quite nice. Formula wise, it is super pigmented and neither runny nor too goopy. Glides on well and easy to apply. It takes about 1-2 minutes to dry completely and once set, it won’t budge or move. So be careful while applying.

Initially it may feel super drying, but lips get used to it in about 10-15 minutes, if you are used to matte liquid lipsticks though. If you prefer satin, creamy finish liquid lipsticks, this is not for you! These are drying and you need exfoliated, moisturised lips for using these. If you have very dry lips, these would accentuate the dryness even more.

Sunlight
Indoors

The formula is pretty similar to Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks. If you prefer the Ultra Satin ones, you will find these drying. Once dried, these don’t budge at all! No transfer, no smudging, the color ain’t going anywhere. In fact, even while removing these, you would need a good oil based makeup remover to take them off.

T: Brazen Raisin, Brink of Pink
B: Tan Fan, Rust Lust

They do fade away from the inside part of the lips though, like all matte liquid lipsticks. Especially when you have oily, greasy food. They stay for 4-5 hours before fading from the inside part, but still look as good overall. You will just need to reapply on the inside part.

I love the fact that they have nudes, pinks, reds, plums, all colors. And also they have priced it very reasonably! I was expecting 699-799 as they usually have that range, I am glad it is around 500 this time.

I would recommend the Sugar Liquid Lipsticks only if you are used to wearing matte formulas and are ok with the drying part. But that does come with the advantage of long staying, non transfer color and no touch ups 😀

I love each of the 4 shades, but Tan Fan and Rust Lust are just amazing! I definitely recommend these two, they are must haves.

Also if you order Fab Bag, you would be getting one of these next month 😀 You get to choose your own shade and I have chosen Suave Mauve. I would be swatching that in the Fab Bag post or adding it here, so watch out for that shade.

These were the shades I found a little unique and different, apart from the usual reds and pinks.

What do you feel about the new Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks? Your favourite shade?

Jan 2017 Fab Bag Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

I know I am a little late this time in the unboxing of Fab Bag. I am at my parents’ place and the Fab Bag gets delivered at my place and from there I got it here today.

The theme this month is ‘Bring It On’. The bag is a bright pink clutch, it’s nice to travel along with and it fits many things in.

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

Products I got:

  • Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon in Mary Poppins (Full size- Rs.799/-)
  • O3+ Derma Fresh Mask – 50g (Full size- Rs.425/-)
  • MCaffeine Neem Caffeine Face wash (50ml) – Full size Rs.449/- for 150ml
  • The Nature’s Co. Fucus Anti-Ageing Cream (20ml)- Full size Rs.895/- for 50ml
  • Wella EIMI Perfect Me BB Lotion (6ml)- Full size Rs.900/- for 100ml

I had an option to choose one makeup product and Sugar Matte Lip Crayons were also a part of those options. I was confused between Mary Poppins and Rose Dawson and didn’t have both, but finally went with Mary Poppins as I have many nudes and this is a very unique bright pink.

Also liking the full size face mask, would be trying it out right now. Rest three products are deluxe sized samples. The face wash looks decent, not very happy with the anti-ageing cream, I would have liked a scrub or day/night cream.

I have the full size bottle of the Wella Perfect Me BB Lotion and it’s really good! The 6ml sachet should be worth Rs.54/- but the sachet mentions Rs.150/- which is more than 3 times the value.

Overall the value of all the products comes to around Rs. 1790/- I am happy with the lipstick and face mask. I love the Wella BB Lotion and would be carrying this sachet the next time I travel. I am not sure about the face wash and anti-ageing cream but I don’t mind trying those.

Also got a special discount coupon from Housejoy, INR 500 off on beauty services worth INR 999 and above.

The bag is pretty decent, not bad. Definitely worth buying.

Sugar Lash Mob Limitless Mascara Review, Pictures

Hi guys,

I love Sugar Cosmetics lip products, their lipsticks and lip crayons are really good. Even the kajals and eyeliners are of great quality, considering they manufacture at Schwan Stabilo in Germany where majority of the brands do.

So now they have launched a mascara. This is the basic black shade called ‘Black with a Bang’, I feel they will be launching more shades in mascara real soon and that would be interesting as we don’t have many colored mascaras in India.

Claims: Looking for a magic wand that will transform you from Plain Jane to Queen Bee in seconds? The all-new Lash Mob Limitless Mascara from SUGAR gives you just the drama your eyes need! Whether you’re a fan of super volume or clump-free formula, we bet that your lashes will thank you once you’ve had your first date with this beauty. Creamy-textured and incredibly easy to apply, this paraben-free Mascara does a stellar job of separating, defining and combing through each lash so you’ll experience lashes like never before!

Benefits: This wonder mascara houses specially designed micro-bristles that lift, separate and unstick every lash hair and coat it with our clump-free volumizing formula. That’s not all! This game-changing makeup product also boosts the growth of your natural lashes thanks to the nourishing vitamins in the tube and contains anti-oxidants that protect them from pollutants. How’s that for packing so much punch in one miracle product!

MRP: Rs.699 for 9ml (Buy HERE)

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Synthetic Beeswax, Paraffin, Iron Oxides CI 77499, Stearic Acid, Acacia Senegal Gum (Acacia Senegal), Triethanolamine, Butylene Glycol, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax (Cera Carnauba), Polybutene, Triacontanyl PVP, Glyceryl Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Sodium Stearate, Polyquaternium-65

It comes in a slender matte black tube packaging. The brush is nice and thick and I thought it would be quite volumizing looking at the brush.

I prefer slightly wet formulas in mascaras because that helps coat lashes well. The formula of this is dry, not stiff dry but not wet either.

It lengthens and curls the lashes but does not give enough volume. If you try to layer with multiple coats for volume, it clumps up the lashes.

I am not sure of the lash growth claim as I am not using it everyday. But if you just need some curl and length on an everyday basis and it also helps in the growth of the lashes when used everyday, this is a good work wear option.

It comes off very easily at the end of the day as it’s not waterproof, but this makes this easily smudgable. It transfers easily on lower lashline and smudges with even slight rubbing.

Before, 1 coat, multiple coats

Here you can see my before-after with one coat and 2-3 coats. I like how it defines and curls with one coat, which is good enough for everyday. But as you can see here, it clumps with more coats and transfers on lower lashline.

It is decent for everyday use, but considering the price, I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s very expensive. I love my Essence mascaras which are fabulous and very affordable.

Have you tried the Sugar Lash Mob Limitless Mascara? What do you feel?

Sugar Cosmetics It’s A-Pout Time Vivid Lipstick The Big Bang Berry Review, Swatches

By Sanchita

INTRODUCTION – Winter is almost here and it is that time of the year when we are going to sport the deepest, darkest bold lip colors all day long. Warm Indian skin tones and bold lip colors are the best combination and thus for this winter I wanted to add a plum/berry kind of lip color. While I have tried every other brand in the market, I was yet to try the Sugar Cosmetics. I have heard so many praises for their collection that this time I decided to purchase this pretty wine color for winter. Read on to know my review on it.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Creamy and moisturizing, SUGAR It’s A-Pout Time! Vivid Lipstick combines the look of a classic matte lip with the benefit of incredible comfort. Enriched with micronized pigments and silica micro-beads, this matte lipstick glides on easily and settles to a gorgeous matte finish. FDA approved, this lipstick is free of mineral oil and parabens.

PRICE – Rs. 599 for 3.5 g (Buy HERE)

MY REVIEW

Packaging – The Sugar Cosmetics It's Pout Time Lipsticks are encased inside a cardboard box. It comes in a slender rectangular matte black body with the brand name and shade name written on the lower portion. The packaging is extremely classy and easy to carry around. It has the usual twist up packaging, shuts with a click and relatively light weight yet sturdy. Overall, the casing is worth the product.

Shade – The shade 01 The Big Bang Berry has been named after the TV Series The Big Bang Theory. In fact, every shade of this series is named very interestingly as well. Coming back, the shade has been described as ‘wine matte’ color as per the website. Taking a close look at it, the shade The Big Bang Berry is a deep plum berry with wine undertones. It has no shimmer or frost at all and can be described as the perfect deep plum fall shade. The color is a great option for night wear and compliments the warm skin tones really well. For dusky to deeper skin tones, it can be a great everyday deep color.

Pigmentation – The pigmentation is a bang on! It goes on giving a wonderful saturation of color to the lips with a single swipe and with another layer, the full saturation of color is seen and gives a neat look as well. You won’t need any lip liner or concealer to bring out the best of the color. Therefore, I am thoroughly impressed with the pigmentation.

Texture and finish – The texture is the lipstick is smooth, creamy and glides like a dream. The texture leans towards the gel-matte kind of lipstick and feels light and comfortable. No matter how many layer you go for, the lipsticks wont bleed or feather at all. It doesn’t accentuates on fine lines of the lips and neither dries out. It is surely the most comfortable matte formula I have worn till now. To summarize, I would say the texture is something between satin-matte and dry-matte.

Formula – The lipstick is formulated with silicones and that is why it doesn’t have the glossy creamy touch but feel super smooth against the lips. It is better to exfoliate the lips to get a neat and proper look. You don’t need lip balm on top or underneath as the lipstick is hydrating enough. In fact, the lipstick is free of mineral oil and parabens as well. However, the lipsticks transfer a little.

Staying power – The lipstick is surely long lasting and lasted on my lips for around 6-6.5hrs. After meals, it will fade off and get removed from the centre easily. That is why you need proper retouch after food intake. The lipstick does stain the lips slightly.

WHAT I LIKED

1. Classy matte black and sturdy packaging.

2. The shade The Big Bang Berry is a deep plum berry with wine undertones.

3. Perfect shade for fall/ winter.

4. Good pigmentation.

5. Creamy soft texture and light weight.

6. Hydrated yet matte.

7. Doesn’t accentuates fine lines, dry patches.

8. Neither bleeds nor feathers.

9. Semi-matte comfortable finish.

10. Formulated without mineral oil and parabens.

11. Staying power is around 6-6.5hrs.

WHAT I DISLIKED

1. Transfers a little.

2. Stains the lips slightly after a whole day.

RATING – 4.3/5

OVERALL and RECOMMENDATION – The Sugar Cosmetics It’s A-Pout Time Lipstick The Big Bang Berry is a beautiful plum berry-wine color with comfortable gel-matte texture, good pigmentation, semi-matte finish and paraben free formula. The lipstick is also long wearing and a perfect shade for the fall/winter. I would highly recommend the shade for every skin tone.

July 2016 Fab Bag Unboxing & Review

Hi guys,

I finally got the July Fab Bag today, many of you have been asking me about it since 1st but it was late by 2-3 days this month.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

This month’s theme is ‘Hello Gorgeous’

It’s a cute bag, blue faux leather smooth finish bag with pastel pink lips print all over the bag, I quite liked the bag.

Products I got:

  • Sugar It’s A Pout Time Lipstick in Peachy Little Liars- Rs.599
  • Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram Exfoliator- Rs.425/- for 50g
  • Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo- Rs.119/- for 50ml
  • Johara Instant Radiance Face Scrub- Rs.100 for 15g

Total value of the products: Rs.1245

Starting with the Sugar Lipstick, I am very happy to get this one in this month’s bag, I think I had got one earlier in March or April when they had launched, the shade was Mad Magenta. This time I got a chance to pick the shade and I went with Peachy Little Liars, they have added two new shades, one this and the other red.

I absolutely love the shade, it’s not a peach but more of a pink brown nude. I will be posting a pic wearing that on my Instagram soon.

Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram exfoliator is a clay based face pack which needs to be rubbed after it days, so that it even exfoliates skin. It is on the lines of a ubtan, and can be used both for the face and body. Though it is very expensive to be used for the body and you will need the whole pack for one time use, I will be sticking to using it for the face. It has multani mitti, turmeric, gram flour, rice flour and sandalwood powder.

I have the Johara Instant Radiance face scrub before (full review HERE) and quite like it, this sample is very tiny though, but this is good for travel and might last 3 uses.

I have never tried Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo, this has Oat Proteins and claims to make hair very soft and manageable in few uses. This 50 ml bottle should last 7-8 uses, again perfect for travel. I am looking forward to trying this out.

I like the Sugar Lipstick and Neemli scrub, both the full sized products in the bag. I won’t say it’s a must buy, but you can if you want to try Sugar lipstick.

Also only members with 3,6 or 12 months subscriptions will get a chance to choose the shade, while others who buy only for this month, will not get the option to choose the shade.

Sugar Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick 02 Mary Poppins Review, Swatches

By Devika

Hi lovely ladies!!!

I hope you all are doing well in these bad summer days. As it’s said, if you are having a bad day, fix it up with a lipstick 😉 and when it comes to lipsticks, it’s hard to control and I end up trying every new shades and formula. Though I prefer neutral colors and remain loyal to soft pinks, browns and nudes I decided to go for a bold one this time by SUGAR COSMETICS MATTE AS HELL CRAYON LIPSTICK in No.2 MARY POPPINS and believe me it has become the most worn color of my life. So should you be giving it a try, let’s find out.

PRICE 799 INR for 2.8 gm.

SHELF LIFE is for good 3 years

PRODUCT CLAIMS

If excellent coverage and high color pay-off is what gets you going, you will absolutely love our new Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick that is available in 4 gorgeous shades to suit your taste & your ever-changing mood! Super long-lasting and highly pigmented so you don’t have to worry about constant re-application, this must-have crayon lipstick has a soft texture with a silky matte finish.

Ingredients:

SHADES AVAILABLE:

The company has very candidly sorted shades into following four:

Feeling confident & sexy? Flaunt a classic red pout with the Scarlett O’ Hara shade – that’s guaranteed to make heads turn

Want to go bare-faced with a pop of color? Say hello to Mary Poppins It is an eye-catching Fuchsia shade that can never go unnoticed

A classic shade that can instantly add a touch of mystery to your entire look, Poison Ivy is hot on the runway and a must-try shade for those who love to experiment. (Review & Swatches HERE)

Want to pull off dramatic eyes and come out as a winner? Holly Golightly is the way to go! This peachy shade goes well with elaborate eye make-up & can also be used every day for a natural look

All shades are universally flattering and would suit all skin tones.

PACKAGING

The lipstick crayon comes in a beautiful abstract art cardboard box with the shade name, ingredients and other information printed. As the name suggests it’s a non- retractable crayon lipstick which is black with matte finish. The bottom of the lipstick has a color coded band to depict the shade and is easy to locate in your stash. Brand and the shade name is printed in white.It has a pop up cap which fits in tightly though doesn’t close with a click .The packaging of these lipsticks is quite good, travel friendly .The tip of the crayon lipstick is pointed and sturdy. I don’t find them finishing or becoming blunt fast as they’re well pigmented. These come along with a chubby sharpener and it’s advisable to only use that to prevent product damage or wastage.

TEXTURE AND FORMULA

It’s a wax-based formulation and has soft smooth and moisturizing texture, easy to work with, glides smoothly on to the lips without tugging or pulling and settles into a matte finish without being patchy, neither do they dry up your lips But sometimes I do find it accentuating fine lines so I would recommend exfoliating and moisturizing your lips, as it will make your lips more comfortable while you have this lipstick on. It gas no peculiar smell or taste to it. I don’t find them becoming blunt fast as they’re well pigmented

PIGMENTATION

Impressive pigmentation as it only took me just one swipe to get an excellent color payoff. Color is buildable. Be very cautious in applying this as it gets difficult to get off the stain if in case it goes beyond the lip line. It does leave a stain post removal but I am okay with it.

SHADE

Mary Poppins no. 02 is an intense fuchsia color with blue undertones to it. It instantly brightens and pops up my face without having anything else on 🙂 Will look good on all skin tones from lightest to darkest.

STAYING POWER

It has good staying power. On me, it stayed on for good 5 hours with intermittent meals without any need of touchup. After that it starts loosing color from center of lips but can be fixed with a hassle free reapplication.

PROS

  • Lovely matte finish
  • Creamy and glides on easily on lips.
  • Super pigmented and non-transferrable
  • Lightweight formula
  • Stay on for at least 4-5 hours and the stain stays until you remove the lipstick with a makeup remover.
  • Do not dry or tug the lips but always use matte lipsticks on well exfoliated moisturized lips
  • Survive the meals easily
  • Sleek and travel friendly design
  • Tips are color coded so they are easy to store and locate.
  • Do not have any smell or taste to them.
  • Appropriate for most of Indian skin tones.
  • Does not bleed or feather out.
  • Does not contain mineral oil, parabens, paraffin, phenoxyethanols, volatile cyclomethicones (D4, D5, D6) and animal derived ingredients.
  • I love the unique and pun names given to all shades

CONS

  • The brighter shades of the lipsticks smudge after you eat a full meal. So you definitely need a lip liner underneath
  • Costly
  • Has to be sharpened that leads to product wastage but then I also understand that when the formula is this soft and creamy it’s difficult to put it in a retractable form
  • It does accentuates fine lines.

OVERALL

Overall, I am so badly obsessed with this lipstick crayon. I highly recommend it these if you are a matte lipstick lover. It is easy to apply, extremely smooth, super pigmented, stays on for long and does not make the lips uncomfortable. Price tag is a concern, but if you do not mind that, you must give it a try. The brand offers universally flattering and unique shades to try.

RATING 4.8/5

WILL I REPURCHASE?

Yes, I will end up buying all shades from this range soon. 😀

Stay happy stay gorgeous!!!

Editor’s Note: Absolutely agree with your review Devika. I have Poison Ivy and Holly GoLightly which I absolutely love. Holly Golightly I wear almost everyday! And as always, I love your pictures <3

March 2016 ‘More Power To You’ Fab Bag Unboxing & Review

Hi guys,

I just now got the March Fab Bag, it’s the ‘More Power To You’ Women’s Day/Month theme.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

It’s a metallic silver textured bag and I knew the Sugar Cosmetics Matte Lipstick is a part of the bag coz I saw it on their Instagram page and assumed it would be this brand.

Let’s see what all I got:

  • Sugar Cosmetics ‘It’s A Pout Time’ Matte Vivid Lipstick in 03 Mad Magenta (Full sized)- Rs.599/-
  • Wella Professionals Elements Shampoo (30ml)- Rs.175/-
  • Wella Professionals Elements Conditioner (30ml)- Rs.200/-
  • Nykaa Strawberries & Cream Nail Enamel (5ml)- Rs.149/- for 10ml
  • Nyassa Tiramisu Body Scrub (30g)- Rs.900/- for 200g

I really like the Wella Pro Elements Range, read my review HERE. It is SLS and paraben free and perfect for colored/treated hair, this deluxe sample size is perfect to try out and/or for travel.

I am loving the Sugar Matte Lipstick, love their Matte Crayon too, so was looking forward to the lipstick. Quite excited to try that out. It comes in this magenta pink shade, a muted berry, a nude and a coral.

I have 3-4 of Nykaa nail paints and they are quite decent, I love this summery shade and would definitely be wearing it.

The Nyassa Tiramisu Body Scrub smells amazing, but since it’s a body scrub, this 30g sample would only work once.

Overall, I would say it’s a mixed bag, not a must have but pretty decent if you are into matte lipsticks and wanted to try the Wella Pro Elements Range, a nail paint and bag are added bonus 😀

The value of the products come to around Rs.1200/- which is still not bad and the deluxe sizes are decent too.

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.

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.
