Bourjois Paris Color Boost in Orange Punch 03

2013-09-25T21:23:00.000+05:30

Hello Girls,

Today I am going to be reviewing another lip crayon but from a different brand.

Its Bourjois Color Boost in Orange Punch. Lately, I just love using lip crayons because they are so easy to apply and also because they keep my lip moisturised through out the day and feels so light.

Bourjois as a brand has never failed to disappoint me or let me down. :))))

What it promises:

Color Boosting.

Water Proof.

Glossy Finish.

spf 15.

Comfort and Hydration for upto 10 hours.

The lip crayon comes in a tube of the same colour as the actual product. To get more product simply twist the bottom of the tube.

Orange Punch is an orange tint that almost transfers as a coral when applied to your lips. This is a very pretty everyday orange shade and is good for those who wouldn't want to wear a bold bright lipstick.

Ingredients:

POLYBUTENE, POLYETHYLENE, SQUALANE, POLYGLYCERYL-3 DIISOSTEARATE, HYDROGENATED POLYISOBUTENE, SYNTHETIC WAX, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, OCTYLDODECANOL, DIMER DILINOLEYL DIMER DILINOLEATE, ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE, DIISOSTEARYL MALATE, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, POLYMETHYLSILSESQUIOXANE, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL, LECITHIN, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), DIPENTAERYTHRITYL HEXAHYDROXYSTEARATE, LIMONENE, TOCOPHEROL, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, CITRIC ACID, ALCOHOL, AQUA (WATER), SERICA EXTRACT (SILK EXTRACT).[+/- (MAY CONTAIN) :

CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), MICA, CI 15850 (RED 6), CI 15850 (RED 7 LAKE), CI 12085 (RED 36), CI 15985 (YELLOW 6 LAKE), CI 19140 (YELLOW 5 LAKE), CI 17200 (RED 33 LAKE), CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE), CI 45410 (RED 28 LAKE), CI 42090 (BLUE 1 LAKE), CI 45380 (RED 22 LAKE), CI 47005 (YELLOW 10 LAKE), CI 73360 (RED 30 LAKE), CI 75470 (CARMINE), CI 77163 (BISMUTH OXYCHLORIDE), CI 77742 (MANGANESE VIOLET)].

Price: 785 INR for 2.75 gm.

Swatches

My take on the product

These lip crayons are kind of like a mixture between a lipstick, lip balm and lip gloss. They have a very soft and smooth formula which gives colour and shine to the lips. They're not at all sticky and just feel like you're wearing a smooth lip balm.

In terms of the colour lasting for 10 hour is a long time but the colour does leave behind a tint of stain while the glossy finish disappears.

They are very easy in application because of the Sunflower Oil and Silk extract.

It is a very appealing lip crayon for the summers because of the added SPF to take care of your lips.

It doesn't stay that long as it claims too. It lasted for about 3 hours on me.

Rating: 4.75/5 (0.5 for the staying power)

Overall I am impressed with these lip crayons.

I would highly recommend you all to try out these cute lip crayons as they will add a hint of colour for the summer.

Have you tried the Bourjois Color Boost Lip Crayons?

Which is your favourite shade?

Online Jewellery Shopping from Drop Dead Gorgeous- Review

2013-09-20T15:58:00.000+05:30

Hello Girls,

Recently I came across this page named Drop Dead Gorgeous on Facebook, and like I do for any other page that interests me, I liked it.

I randomly browse an online store and if I come across an item that I instantly fall in love with I will end up buying it. :d

This was what happened when I stumbled upon Drop Dead Gorgeous store browsing on Facebook. Jewellery from this store are very beautifully handcrafted. I am a huge pearl fanatic and I own lots of little jewellery pieces.So here's what I picked up from them....

(P.S- I ddnt get this box with the product.)

I placed an order request with Shraddha and she was so cooperative and kept me updated about my order.

I received my order in a weeks time and am I am so happy with their service.

It was packed in a plastic cover, my only suggestion to them would be to work on the packaging of the product.

Price: 775 INR (inclusive of shipping)

Rating: 4.5/5

Overall I am in love with this neck-piece. They have a variety of accessories and I recommend you all to have a look at their page.

Happy Shopping :)

Do let me know your views on my Pearly Neck-piece :d

L'Oreal Paris Glam Sine Balmy Gloss in Pomegranate Punch (909)

2013-09-19T17:35:00.000+05:30

Hello girls!

My net wasn't working for the past few days. Sorry for being Missing in Action (MIA)

So back to the post, todays post is all about L’Oreal’s introduction of its first glossy balm that looks after your pout.

Product Description

L’Oreal Paris introduces its first glossy crayon format for that looks after your lips. Balm and Gloss finally combined in a playful crayon format for mirror free application. Lips feel moisturized, look shiny with a sheer fresh looking colour off.

Price: 400 INR for 2.5 gm.

My take on the product

Pomegranate Punch is a berry pink color with silver shimmer, the color is very beautiful and also leaves your lips moisturized. There isn't any need for exfoliation prior to application. It looks glossy on application.

The shimmer doesn’t cause any difficulty in application. It glides on lips very smoothly to give it a beautiful shine and color. It also feels very light on lips and doesn’t settle into fine lines.

The best part is that it’s such a versatile color that it will suit all skin tones

The pigmentation of this particular shade is better than the other shades.

It requires 2 swipes to cover pigmentation. Staying power is less, stayed for about 3 hours for me without a meal L

The price tag of INR 400 is super reasonable for the quality of product you get.

As far as the packaging is concerned these glossy balm come in the same color as that of the color of their stick with a silver cap.

Swatches:

Like:

Moisturizing.
Light on lips.
Glossy finish.
Color will suit all skin tones.
Pocket Friendly.
Pigmentation.

· Dislike:

Staying Power.

Rating: 4.5/5

I am completely loving this lip crayon and its worth trying out.Have you tried any from this range, do let me know.

Bdw its getting hotter and hotter here in Mumbai…phheww

So today's post is about Herbal lip glosses in 7 beautiful shades from Palladio.

Got these sometime back from my uncle in USA..All thanks to him that I was introduced to this lovely brand so here we are with the shades I got:

5) PGL59 - Bezel.

6) PGL09 - Copper.

7) PGL27 - Sheer Bronze.

Incase if you have never heard of Palladio I will give you a little insight as to what it is:

“Pretty”, “Colorful and easy”, “High quality” and “On-trend” - that’s Palladio

Palladio Beauty Group is a company based in Hollywood, Florida formed by a group of experts in the cosmetics and beauty industry on November 1^st 1999.

Price: $5 (Not available in India)

Order Online here: http://www.palladiobeauty.com/

My Thoughts

The packaging is the usual lip gloss tube packaging with a doe foot applicator which helps in easy application. You can see Palladio written on the tube and the shade beneath, so nothing extra ordinary here.It is soft , light on lips, easy to apply and has sheer coverage but that’s buildable. The glosses are not at all sticky . There are tiny sparkles in the gloss, which is not noticeable but gives a beautiful shine and that doesn’t create any issue in application. It feels moisturizing on the lips, which is a huge plus. There is a slight fragrance and taste (similar to cupcakes) but it doesn’t bother me. The gloss stayed with me for 2-3 hrs leaving behind a beautiful shine and also because this stuff tastes yummy I was tempted to eat it ;) .

Swatches:

1) PGL68 - Burnt Copper.

2) PGL03 - Icy Mauve.

3) PGL04 - Rose Brown.

4) PGL26 - Iced Rose.

5) PGL59 - Bezel.

6) PGL09 - Copper.

7) PGL27 - Sheer Bronze.

Like:

Sheer Coverage.
Not Sticky.
Cruelty Free.
Pocket Friendly.
Pigmentation is good.

Dislike:

Not much long lasting.
Not available in India.

Rating: 4/5

My August Vellvette BAG .....

2013-09-03T19:22:00.001+05:30

This time its a BAG ...yayyy

I was so excited to see a black bag which is way better than the pink one sent earlier. But this time the bag arrived pretty late :((((.

Anyways getting a bag compensated for the delay.

A beautiful black bag very useful while travelling to store your makeup.

So the theme for the month of August was " Ticket to HOLLYWOOD", a blockbuster that will unleash the celeb in you!

So lets see how satisfied I am with what I have received this month.

Brocato Curlinterrupted Smoothing & Hyderating Shampoo.
Brocato Curlinterrupted Smoothing & Hyderating Treatment.
h2O+ Face Oasis Shine Neutralizing Gel.
Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme in Sheer Cherry.

Brocato Curlinterrupted Smoothing & Hyderating Shampoo and Brocato Curlinterrupted Smoothing & Hyderating Treatment-

I have frizzy hair so this product softens and smoothens any kind of coarse or frizzy or curly hair so I will surely be using this product and I am happy that I have received this :)))

h2O+ Face Oasis Shine Neutralizing Gel -

This gel naturally absorbs excess oil, minimize pores, visibly refines skin texture and diminishes surface shine. It can also be used as make-up base for a smoother finish. I have normal skin so I will be using it as a make-up base.
The sample size is so small to decide on buying the full size product. Vellvette should have sent more samples of this to perceive results :((((

Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme in Sheer Cherry-

This is a full size product to achieve a lasting pout like that of Angelina Jolie.I am happy to get this as well.

So, overall I am happy with what I have reveived.

Reviews coming up soon.So stay tuned.

Maybelline Color Sensational Bold Matte Lipstick "MAT 2" Review and Swatches

2013-08-20T20:35:00.001+05:30

I love trying out different lipsticks but that’s not the case when it comes to matte finish ones but this time my favourite drugstore brand has surprised me by their very creamy range of Bold Matte Lipsticks.

The bold Matte lipstick by Maybelline come in five shades ranging from MAT 1- MAT 5.

There was so much hype about the release of this lipsticks that I had to pick them up on my visit to NBC. I chose the "MAT 2"lippy :), a beautiful coral shade with orange undertones and it looks fabulous on swatching it.

They are priced at Rs 375 for 3.9 gms with a shelf life of 3 years.

Maybelline has assigned names to these lippies in the international market but this is not the case here :((

By the way I love coral lipsticks and that is the reason I am reviewing another coral shade from my lippy collection.

So coming to the packaging of the product, the lipstick comes in a seal with BOLD MATTE by Color Sensational written on it.

The lipstick comes in a clear matte case which looks sleek and classy.

Though the company mentions Matte but it is not matte its semi matte. In fact it is creamy which makes the application very easy.

At first I was reluctant to buy this lipstick as I have dry lips and matte formula is difficult in application but I am happy that I gave it a try.

There wasn’t any need to apply lip balm and still it felt creamy, so for me formula wise it just AWESOME.

Its semi matte and the color is buildable depending on how you prefer.

The staying power is around 4-5 hours after a having a light meal and it leaves behind a slight stain which looks beautiful not that bold.

Fragrance free lipsticks which is a good thing especially for me.

Without Flash

With Flash

What I liked

Creamy Formula, easy application and feels light on lips.

Fragrance free.

Buildable color.

Pocket friendly.

Staying power for 4-5 hours.

Dislike:

It is not matte.

Names would be better to Mat 1,2,3,4,5.

I would rate this 4.5/5
You guys should definitely try it out and I can’t wait to try out more shades from this range.

By the way any suggestions for naming Mat 2 ??Have you tried any from this range , do let me know by dropping by your comments.

Thanks and keep supporting.
