I am reviewing the shade Raspberry Sorbet…The other shades available are:
It comes in a rectangular slender packaging with slanted applicator. Quite opaque..non sticky..have a nice smell..and stay on well..
Raspberry Sorbet is a frosty raspberry pink…very pretty pink..gives a nice glossy pout.
Here is a comparision of Raspberry Sorbet and Hooked on Pink..
T: Raspberry Sorbet B: Hooked on Pink
Raspberry Sorbet on me..
Pros:
1. These are densely packed colors and are very opaque..so would work well even on pigmented lips.
2. Non sticky.
3. 6.8 ml is a good qty.
4. Slim square packaging which I kind of liked 🙂
5. Various shades from pinks to reds to wines to browns to bronze.
6. Stay for 2-3 hours..decent enough for a gloss.
7. They have a nice sweet smell.
Cons:
1. No peachy or coral shade..more shades should have been in this range. 2. They increased the price from 250 to 300 :/
Overall I love Maybelline Colorsensational lip glosses..these are quite good..and a total value for money..surely recommend these..Totally Toffee is next on my list..
Sleek MakeUP is out with their new Spring 2013 collection called Aqua Collection..it consists of LE i-Divine called Lagoon, a blush in Mirrored Pink and a nail set in Deep Waves..you would see a lot of aqua blues and greens in this collection.
It is priced slightly higher at £7.99
It comes in the usual black case packaging with a mirror and 2 sided sponge applicator…the shadows are well pigmented, blend smoothly and stay on for 6-7 hours with a primer…the matte shades are a little drier and shimmery ones have some fall out though.
Sleek MakeUP i- Divine Lagoon boasts of 12 shades that pop on all skin tones..9 shimmer and 3 matte shadows..
Sassea is an aqua blue shade with gold shimmer Deep Water is a matte grape purple Reflection is a pale shimmery lilac Emerald is a light emerald green Oyster is an off white pearl..makes a good highlight Black Pearl is deep rich black with some shimmer…gorgeous pigmentation..the best in the palette.
Pink Jewel is a rose pink with gold shimmer..very pretty shade Sand Dollar is a warm yellow gold Underworld is again an aqua blue with gold shimmer..but more bluer than Sassea Sea Shell is a light copper bronze..a good neutral Night Sky is a matte dirty purple..not that pigmented. Ariel is a matte coral red..can double up as a pretty blush
Some of the shades are pretty pigmented while some are ok..matte shades are a little drier and less pigmented in comparision to the shimmery ones…overall a good mix of shades..
My favorites are Reflection, Oyster, Black Pearl, Pink Jewel and Sea Shell..yes I love my pinks and neutrals 😀
Aqua Collection launches on 13th March, 2013..in Superdrug stores and online at sleekmakeup.com

What the Company claims: Give your skin a velvety finish with Colorbar’s Ultimatte’ Mousse Foundation. It’s smooth, matte and lightweight formula will keep your skin shine free all the day. This magic pot is perfect for women to prep up on the go, and is perfect for all day wear, as well as an evening out. Blending foundation was never so easy, use your fingertips to create that super matte skin and you are ready to go.

This product is oil free, fragrant free and dermatologically tested. You can choose from the three shades available Frappuccino, Café Misto and Caramel Macchiato. You just need to hydrate your skin properly before application and pat lightly onto the places where you need to cover. You can also give a finishing blend with a foundation stippling brush.
I had mentioned about the new launches of Colorbar HERE. The Ulimatte Mousse Foundation is one of them..
It comes in a small flat plastic jar..which is very light weight and easy to carry..has a transparent separator in between the cap and the product.
Its quite creamy and mousse like..more like a tinted moisturising cream. It blends very easily and sinks into your skin..and settles to match with your skin tone..it has a good amount of silicones..so has a velvety finish and is smooth to touch and acts as a primer too..and reduces the appearance of lines and pores a little. Gives a matte finish.
The coverage is sheer..quite light..it does not cover scars or acne spots..and you surely need a concealer over it..if you have a flawless face and just need some evenness..this would be a good foundation for your everyday use..
Unblended
Blended
Pros:
1. Super creamy and easy to blend. 2. Convenient packaging..good to carry along. 3. Blends easily with your fingers. 4. Sinks into the skin and matches the skin tone well. 5. No whitish cast issues. 6. Reduces the appearance of pores and lines. 7. Acts as a primer too..and gives a velvety finish and stays well for 6-7 hours with minor touch ups. 8. Very light weight..does not feel like foundation at all. 9. Evens out skin tone. 10. Gives a matte finish..good for oily skin.
Cons:
1. Only 3 shades available. 2. Light medium coverage..you do need a concealer over it..does not cover scars or spots. 3. Dry skin would need a moisturiser underneath. 4. Jar packaging..so have to dip hands.. 5. Has a good amount of silicones.
Overall its a nice foundation for everyday use..gives a very light weight feel..and you do not feel like you wearing a foundation…but just a tinted moisturising cream which gives some evenness..if you in need of a good daily wear foundation for your office, etc you should surely check this out.
Frauppiccino would suit lighter skin tones..from NC 30-37, Caffe Misto for medium skin tones..from NC 37-42..and Caramel Macchiato for NC 42 and above..
Faces Cosmetics I Shine Quad Pink Review, Swatches
What the Company claims: Go creative with these gorgeous shades which are easily blendable. High-quality formula provides crease-free uniform coverage. Vitamin E and almond oil enriched for added nourishment and comfortable wear.
Available in 4 Shades:
Pink Blue Green Purple
MRP : Rs.599/- for 4g
Directions and Ingredients:
I love the round shape of this quads..inspired by Giorgio Armani Beauty Eyes to Kill Eyeshadow Quads 😀 Only difference is the sponge tip applicator in this..in the centre..But the shape surely makes it attractive, easy to carry and they clasp tight..so no breakage issues..
All shadows are frost or satin finish..shimmery but not glittery..they are buttery smooth in texture and blend well..decently pigmented too..stay on for 5-6 hours without a primer..wit minimal creasing.
Shades are:
Frosty lavender pink
Satiny cranberry pink
Satiny pale pink
Frosty ivory pink
Dual sided sponge applicator is not of much use though..I did an EOTD with this quad for the Valentine’s look..check it out HERE
Pros:
1. Nicely pigmented. 2. Attractive packaging. 3. Buttery smooth in texture and blends well. 4. Stays on for 5-6 hours. 5. Cranberry pink works with many Indian outfits.
Cons:
1. I think these should have been priced around Rs.450-500/- 2. I wish there were 1-2 matte shades and a beige-ish highlighter too..that would have completed the quad…instead of similar frosty pinks.
Overall I do like these quads.the quality is nice..and they look good and work well too..only if 1-2 shades were replaced..I think I would have liked this quad more..
Do check out the blue one..its quite gorgeous.
