Lipstick Love: Bourjois Levres Contour Lip pencil in Peche Voluptueuse Review and Swatches!

I am not a fan of lip pencils courtesy my dry lips.But I can assure you the bourjois levres contour lip pencils are the bomb!They are soft and glide like honey baby!

Lip pencils are usually used to arrest the bleeding of lipsticks.They hold the lip color in place along with providing a better appearence.Actresses use the layering technique whereby they layer multiple lip products of similar/exact shades so even when the lipstick wears off they have color on their lips :)

Coming back to this lip pencil I got it because they didn't have Faces french rose lipstick/maybelline bronze orange/Colorbar obsessed orange/maybelline orange lipbalm/Lipice in orange anywhere :( The Bourjois SA asked me to try this and I liked it :)

Price: Rs.250/-





  • It is a solid wooden pencil.The color of the pencil is same as that of the lip color :) The eye pencils from this range are also made of wood.Simple and classy but environment :'(


  • The color is a peachy orange with lil red undertones :)
  • The texture is smooth..it does not tug and glides easily over lips.
  • Forms a matte finish.
  • Is super pigmented will cover the discolorations on the lips.
  • Tends to enhance the flaky part of lips so be sure to exfoliate your lips beforehand.
  • Dry lips definitely need a lipbalm underneath.
  • Stays put for 4 hours solid after which it starts fading.
  • Helps prevent lipstick from traveling from north to south :)
  • More suited to fair/medium skin.Might look harsh on deeper skin tones.
Verdict:
A peach shade that can brighten up ur face and day ;) A budget product u need to own atleast one of these :)

Blush Lust: Faces Glam On Powder Blush in Crimson Swatches and Review!

Do you like me shy away from shimmers??But still want that extra oomph for occasions??Then look nowhere, but here!Presenting Faces Glam On powder Blush in Crimson..bam bam bam (guitar duh!)

I have never been a fan of shimmers!I remember wearing the Maybelline frosted blush with silver shimmers for my bro's wedding.It gives me nightmares.Okay don't look at me like tat.I was hardly into makeup that time and didn't know what I was dng :\ 
 But shimmers are MANDATORY for Indian weddings and festivals.So here am reviewing the blush u anti shimmers might give a thot ;)
 

  • Will set u back by Rs.400/-
  • It is encased in a tiny round box and has a small mirror inside which is very useful.
  • The packaging is sturdy and the case itself is highly reflective that U can use it as a mirror :) 

  • Faces blush in Crimson is a beautiful  bright warm pink shade with *obvious* golden shimmers.The shimmers look OTT in the pan so much so I nearly regretted it.


  • But on application and proper blending it turns out to be an enticing flush with a superb glow.The shimmers are not obvious if u don't stand under direct light.So they add glow needed for the festive season without gng overboard :) 


  • The pigmentation is insane.U can easily look like a clown.So I wud suggest starting with a light application and then building up d intensity :)
  • As I mentioned before, Blending is the key.U need to blend blend blend otherwise the blush looks patchy.
  • The texture is powdery and there is substantial fall out.

  • The finish is a between satiny to subtle shimmery.
  • It lasts for about 6-7 hours on me :) I wore this on the morning of Diwali and it lasted on me till evening after which I did a touch up for the puja.
VERDICT: 
Will suit fair to dark skintones :) Fair skin tones need to use it sparingly.
I evidently won't use this for everyday wear but IMO this is the best for party wear if u are on budget and are not much inclined to shimmers.And beginners would find it ominous to work with but I love pigmented blushes so this one gets a Thumbs Up from me :)

Blush Lust : Inglot Powder Blush In No. 27 Swatches and review!

If being obsessed about blushes was a crime I would be serving life sentence :) 

Inglot is one of the best cosmetic corporate according to makeup junkies :) They provide quality makeup and have the famous freedom system where u can create ur own palette for lipsticks/blushes/eyeshadows :)
U can get the 6g blush in a pot for Rs.720/- or get the refill that houses the same amount for Rs.350/-. But the hitch is, in the stores it is mandatory for u to buy the palette which is a lil expensive.So it is wiser to order it online from www.majorbrands.in .




Packaging:
The blush is housed in a metal pan placed inside a plastic container.I wouldn't call it secure but if u r scrupulous unlike me u won't need the palette.U can also get the Z-Palette.Find details at this link on wiseshe :) Or better get a magnetic strip and fix it to ur old geometry box ;) 


Color:
The Inglot face blush no.27 is a rosy pink shade with lil peach thrown in.Has a satin finish to it.I couldn't locate the shimmers in the lush until I took piccys for this post :) The shimmers are not visible even under the sun and give a subtle flushed glow.U can totally wear this to the office/college.






 I have no idea y it shows reddish and warmer in the snaps :\ So I am attaching my haul pic which shows the true color of the blush :)


Swatch:


Texture:
The texture of the blush is soft and smooth.better than any other blush that I own(mayb nt kryolan).It has some fallout problems cuz of that.So I suggest u  to press ur brush gently on the surface instead of swirling it.Blending is easy :)


Pigmentation:  
Well pigmented.Kryolan fairs better here.But this one is apropos for beginners :) U might need more swipes if u r on the dusky side.

Longevity: 
It sticks to my cheeks fervently for about 5 hours after which it starts fading without patchiness ;) 


Extras:
I have done a comparison of it with Colorbar Cosmic Rose which is another fav everyday blush :) Check out d results urself  ;)




VERDICT:
I can see this blush working on fair to dusky skin :) This one is definitely a keeper for everyday wear.I have ditched my cream blushes this winter in its favour :P
