Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Strawberry

Hi Friends, 

this post is about Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Strawberry. In the past I have been very tempted to buy more from this range but the price stops me. I am usually very careful with what I spend on makeup.

So anyways, this is:

  • A pretty, strawberry pink lipgloss with lots of shimmer and bling to it. I really like it so far.
  • It has a bit of a berry taste and smell to it which is pleasant.
  • It has super-smooth application and no issues with bleeding.
  • Lasting power - tough to say. If you are good and don't meddle with your lips too much I can say the colour lasts for a couple of hours and the overall product stays for ~4 hours.
  • It leaves behind tiny particular shimmers on your lip even when you eat up the gloss, like I do.
  • Nice applicator, total amt of product = 5.9ml)
  • Price: Rs. 500 (or 550, I can't remember)
A little pricey but worth it! Here are some pics! 







And this is just me messing around with Paint, lol :)




So I hope you enjoyed this post and do try to get one of these glosses in your stash if you don't already one! Until next time, tata and thanks for stopping by!

A look with Sugarpill's Poison plum

Hi everyone! 


This is a look using my newly acquired e/s from Sugarpill Cosmetics, Poison Plum. I'm going to throw in a mini-review as well. But I don't think I can come up with anything that has not already been said about this product so I am going to do this review a little differently. :) 


Starting with some basics about this e/s


  • Sugarpill describes it as "Dramatic purple with semi-pearly sheen" I completely agree. Dramatic is a great way to describe this purple. 
  • Price: $11.99 = Rs. 608 without taxes, shipping etc. So it's around what we in India pay for a single e/s pan from MAC. 
  • So what else can I say about this product? Blends well, easy to apply, no noticeable fallout....
  • Oh yes, one more thing, it leaves behind a faint stain on skin after removal, so that should give you an idea of how it performs in the pigmentation department.
Pictures:
PACKAGING etc. :)




SWATCH

Here is a look I did with the eyeshadow which I reallllly like. 
I used: 

  • NYX jumbo eye pencil in MILK as base, on lower lash line.
  • Sugarpill's Poison Plum on lid
  • MUG e/s in Mango Tango to blend out above the crease
  • MUG e/s in Cinderella as highlight
  • MAC Fluidline, Blacktrack
  • Maybelline mascara, Great Lash









The colour on my lids is how the colour actually swatches on skin. It's a little more intense in the pan. But this is a colour that can be built up or really sheer-ed out if that makes sense. All in all, I am happy to have finally caved in and bought it. 

So I hope you like the review and the look, do leave your comments and suggestions. Until next time, tata and thank you for stopping by!

Yellow and blue!

Hi Folks,


As the weather turns warmer, I want to start moving away from dark coloured looks and do some light and fun summery looks. So this is the first of the summer looks that I am going to do. Hope you enjoy!


I used:


  • MAC Painterly Paint Pot as a base.
  • NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Milk as a second base.
  • MUG e/s in Cinderella & Taupe Notch in crease.
  • NYX Jumbo eye pencil in yellow in the first half of my lid, and baby blue in the outer half of my lid.
  • Inglot e/s in AMC 60 and MAC e/s in Sky Blue.
Hope you like it :) Here are some pics.

So I hope you like this yellow and blue combination! I really like it as it is soft and a unique combination.  Thanks for stopping by and until next time, tata!
