Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 15

By Sharon Monis

The Product used is Maybelline ColorSensational Lip Gloss in the Shade 110 Mirrored Mauve. Before I ever got this Gloss, I was never a Lip Product fan.

This particular Gloss was a gift to me on my 18th bday, and since then I am a crazy about Lip Color and Glosses!

Editor’s Note: Those are some nice fun clicks Sharon..and Mirrored Mauve is one of my favorites too 🙂

To start with, I lovee the packaging ! The gold pacakging..and click through mechanism..alike Chanel Rouge Allure..at this price is fab..


The formula is super moisturizing..with the number of oils in the ingredients..it has to be that moisturizing.



It is super duper bright and pigmented..with two swipes you have perfect opaque coverage..and would work for pigmented lips too.

Coral Red is a bright orangey red..actually more of orange than red…this shade would look fab on all skin tones.

It stays for 4-5 hours and leaves behind a pretty tint..

Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Amazing packaging.
2. Superb pigmentation.
3. Very creamy and moisturising.
4. Stays for 4-5 hours and leaves behind a nice pretty deep tint.
5. 3 beautiful reds in this range..red lovers definitely need to get one !
6. Though its expensive..but mostly on offers..and quite a steal when on a offer ! Don’t miss.

Cons:

1. Available through reps.
2. Would have loved more shades..peaches, plums, corals, mauves, rose pinks..
3. Transfers.

There are 3 shades of red, one pink and one brown..I am loving the sound of the Pink one..Pink Drama…love the Pink Drama Nail enamel of this range !

Overall, I would say its amazing in quality and texture..and a must try..all three reds are pretty nice..and the pink one too..Highly recommended !

Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 14

Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 14

By Agnibanya

Hi Everyone,
My lip color favorites do keep changing with seasons and my mood, but these days I enjoy sporting a deep dark lip as is the fall trend this season.  And MAC’s Satin Lipstick Rebel sort of tops the chart this time. This is a simply stunning deep bright plum which looks gorgeous on all skin tones.

With Rebel on my lips, I usually like my makeup to be clean and sharp, like a pale frosted pink on my lids and a sharp winged liner, or deep bronze on the lids with loads of kohl. I like to pair it mostly with Indian ethnic wear. 

Have a great day everyone!!

Editor’s Note: Its indeed a fab shade..and loved your pics !

Lakme Eyeconic Kajal Green, Blue, Brown, White Review, Swatches

Lakme Eyeconic Kajal Green, Blue, Brown,White Review, Swatches
If you follow me my facebook and/or twitter..you would be knowing how I got the box torn from one side..and the pen drive was missing..
 
And instead of the grey, I got two green shades..
 
So lets review the four I have..

What the Company claims: Reinvent your everyday look with the all new Lakme Eyeconic White. With a deep colored stroke in an easy twist up format, it gives your eyes a long-lasting, Eyeconic look throughout the day.Smudge proof, water proof and dermatologically tested; Lakme’s Eyeconic White accentuates your eyes and makes them look bigger and brighter.

Key Features:

Smudge proof
Water Proof, Lasts up to 10 hrs
Safe for eyes
Convenient Twist- up format
 
MRP: Rs.250/- for 1.3g


It comes in the same retractable kajal packaging as Lakme Eyeconic in Black or other kajals in the market..its a tough competition in kajals category, I tell you..

 
White is a pure white shade
 
Brown is a dark chocolate brown
 
Green is a deep forest green
 
Blue is a light forest green (?) (I have no idea why the blue is a green..Lakme has released blue which is almost similar to the green..just a tad bit lighter..I had first thought I got three greens..but it was named blue..and when I saw online, I found that their blue is just like the green..I wish it was a navy blue or a nice peacock or turquoise blue..why the same blue as green, Lakme ?)

Anyways, so here you see only white and brown different..and two similar greens :p

T-B: Brown, Blue, Green, White

These are so super soft..these just break ! Two of the pencils’ tips broke while swatching..and again while trying..I have no idea why these are so soft..do they need to be kept in fridge or something ? It is as it is quite cold..this is only leading to product wastage..and after breaking the tip again and again, you will be hardly left with any product :/

One has to be super careful with this..
 
These do glide on smoothly and are too soft..no tugging or pulling..pigmentation is quite good too..
 
They stay on for 7-8 hours on my upper lashline and for 4-5 hours on my waterline..there was not much smudging..but just that they collect at the edges of the eye..but no raccoon eyes issue..
 
White looks too stark white..I prefer nudes on my waterline..I like using the white in the inner corners of the eyes..
Here I have used brown on my upper and lower lashline and waterline and white slightly in the inner corners..


I like the green one too..

Overall, I would say these are new in the market and colored kajals are a nice thing to have..and budget friendly too..only issue is too much product wastage..and not many shade options..
 
I would recommend the Green and Brown ! And if you like using white on the waterline..White too..

P.S: I am loving the songs ‘Ye Kudi Badi Drama Queen Hai’ and ‘Tune Maari Entry toh Dil Me Baji Ghantiya Re Tang Tang’ 😀 Do you like them too ? Soo catchy !

Revlon ColorStay Nail Enamel 230 Bonsai Review, NOTD

Revlon ColorStay LongWear Nail Enamel 230 Bonsai Review, NOTD
What the Company claims: – We are thrilled to announce Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Ena mel, a nail innovation that provides up to 11 days of lasting color* and gel-like shine. 
 
*When worn with Revlon Colorstay™ base & top coat 
 
KEY FEATURES/BENEFITS/INGREDIENTS: 
Inspired by Salon Gel Nails- gel- like shine- no UV light 
ColorStay technology instantly wraps nails in a shatterproof shield of color 
Easy to remove, gentle on nails
Unique double barrel brush for a smooth, even, streak-free application 

 

A complete wardrobe of 16 timeless shades, plus a base and top coat SHADES: The ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel is available in 18 exciting and vivacious shades like Red Carpet, Delicious, Velvet Rope, Passionate Pink to name a few. 
 
EXPERT TIPS:
– Apply Revlon ColorStay Longwear Base Coat
– Apply two coats of Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel and let dry.
– Apply Revlon ColorStay Longwear Top Coat for 11 days of lasting color!

MRP: Rs.350/- for 11.7ml
 
These are formaldehyde, toluene and DBP free and also UV sensitive which is the first..
 
Comes in a long bottle..and the quantity is quite good (11.7 ml is what no brand offers !). The brush is perfect..and 2 coats give a nice opaque perfect coverage..

And these indeed stay for 11 plus days as claimed..I have applied it from more than 10 days…and it has only chipped a little from the tips..
 
Only issue is it takes forever to dry ! Like forever..I waited for sooo long..and still messed up a little..and also takes some time to remove..

But otherwise, these are just perfect..a little on the expensive side..but if you are someone who is always pressed for time..and do not have the time and patience to change nail paints regularly, this is a boon for you !


230 Bonsai is a grass green shade with gold shimmer..

Something which I have never tried till date..quite a different shade..and it looked so fab ! I even received compliments for the shade 😀
 
I lovee the shade Passionate Pink, Blue Slate, French Roast, Sequin, Vintage Rose..I think I love all the shades ! Such unique, interesting and fab shades..but they have released 30 shades in the US and only 16 here..I am disappointed 🙁 I hope they have some good shades for us here too..
 
Highly Recommended !

Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 9 

By Nidhi Gautam

I have chosen Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids ‘Hot Plum’ as my lipstick for your contest entry just coz I love the unique gorgeous plummy pink color with the added intense shine that looks fab on festivals/parties. 

I like to wear this shade with my ethnic wear, specially blue n pink dresses n even lightly for a more toned down look when going out with friends. A soft pink blush and a blue/black eye liner is all that is the other makeup needed. 

Editor’s Note: Thats a super hot shade Nids..and loved the pout pics as always 🙂
