Motives Shape & Sculpt Duo- Review, Swatches & FOTD

Hello everyone,

Today I’m going to review an amazing product for you which is tremendously useful for a makeup lover. This product was provided by Motives a couple of months before. I wanted to review it in detail and tell the utility of this product after using it on my face but I know it has been a long time due to my busy schedule.

Motives Shape & Sculpt Duo

It is pressed duo with one light & one dark shade, both matte.It multipurpose & can be used as a pressed powder, highlighter, bronzer & contour. Very helpful to define the cheekbones, are around the nose & even as a shadow! The light beige shade is almost similar to my skin tone so I sometimes prefer using it as a highlighter while the dark brown shade works well as a bronzer & contour.

What it claims



Two-in-one highlighter and matte contour powder

Luxurious formula that glides on smoothly to highlight and sculpt

Designed for all skin types

Non-irritant formula

Paraben, oil and fragrance free



Price

$21



Packaging



This shape & sculpt duo comes in a very sturdy packaging which is a bit bulky but safe to handle. Inside there is a wide mirror which is very helpful while using this duo.

It is travel-friendly because although a bit bulky it is safe to keep in your makeup bag.







In the mirror of my own experience





The first time I saw this duo, I understood that this is surely gonna be very useful for me. As I've already mentioned above that I can use it as an eyeshadow, highlighter, pressed powder & bronzer as well which makes it almost a complete thing to carry around. So you can imagine that if one just carries this duo along with an eyeliner & gloss she has everything for a beautiful & wearable look.

This duo is also very helpful for those who have prominent cheekbones & would like to expose their facial features clearly. I particularly love it as a bronzer as it gives a different look overall!



Good points



I love its handy packaging. It's so easy to apply & is well pigmented too.

Shows up well as a bronzer & even the light beige one gives a healthy glow to the face!

The staying power is for about 5-6 hrs which add to it's positive features.

The fact that it is matte makes it even more comfortable for use although I don't have much problem in using shimmers on my face but many don't like much of shimmers.

The wide mirror inside is very helpful while using this.

No breakouts, paraben, oil & fragrance free makes it an ideal pressed powder.

The product is worth the price.

Below are some pic showing the blended swatch of each:

Bad points



Once again I would lament over the fact that it is not available in India :(

The case is a bit bulky.

It could have been made even better if a brush was provided along.

I created a look using the bronze shade mainly:

Motives by Loren Ridinger Lustrafy Mascara-Review & pics

Mascara is an essential part of makeup without which makeup can be truly called incomplete. Imagine that you have no eyeliner, not eyeshadow etc but if you have a mascara with you can very easily change your eyes' look & give them a beautiful shape making them bigger, brighter & wider.
So today I'm here with the review of Motives Lustrafy High Definition Mascara. A perfect mascara!!


What Motives Lustrafy mascara claims:

Primary Benefits of Motives® Lustrafy High-Definition Mascara:

• Will not clump, flake or glob
• Long-wearing
• Patented brush provides superior lash definition

What Makes Motives® Lustrafy High-Definition Mascara Unique?

Brushes make all the difference with makeup application, especially with mascara! Motive's new Lustrafy High-Definition Mascara will define, separate and lengthen your lashes like never before. The secret is in the revolutionary High-Definition brush with rubber bristles that fans out and lengthens each lash as it sweeps on mascara from root to tip. No more clumps or globs, just beautifully defined long lashes.

Price
$16.95

In the mirror of my own experience
I usually prefer a black shade mascara for my eyes as my natural lashes are quite thin & although i would like to use, but a transparent mascara doesn't suit me. As far as a brown mascara is concerned, I had tried it once before but because my lashes are naturally dark brown in color so it couldn't make my eyes any better.
So when i received this Dark Chocolate Mascara from Motives I was not very excited to see it & try it out. But when i did apply it for the first time, only one coat on my lashes & there was such a clear difference in them. My eyelashes especially the above ones are very thin...as you can see for yourself in the pics....and this mascara brought a clear difference in them in just one coat. The shade of this mascara is a bit darker than my natural lashes color which makes it a perfect brown mascara.
Another thing that i noticed was about it's applicator. The bristles are quite gentle & part of this applicator easily bends giving it a better angle & making application easy.

A closer look:

Good points

It's available in three different shades- Dark Chocolate, Onyx (black) & Midnight Blue. So you can choose the shade that suits you well.

Love it's sophisticated packaging. Very handy, slim & beautiful.

My lashes do not get clumped up on applying it. It separates them out easily leaving out a noticeable difference.

The wand is a great one as it can be bent in any angle. The bristles are also quite soft all of which contributes to the fact that application of this is very easy.



Although one may consider it non-waterproof but with water it does not come of that easily so it's a bit waterproof which is a good thing.

Not with bare water but comes off easily with a remover or almond oil without much effort. Does not break my lashes.

Decently priced.
Bad points

One thing that i noticed & should be mentioned here is that on applying 2-3 coats of this mascara it made a part of my lid just above the lashes a bit messy which I had to clean up carefully.

Would have loved the fact if it was available in India as it's one of the best mascaras that I've tried till now.

below are some pics that show how this mascara look on me:

Naked eye

With the mascara (1 coat) I know my eyes are looking a bit weird :p

Finally...
Overall it is an awesome mascara, does what it claims & is a great product at such a cost. I'm very glad to have tried it & would highly recommend it to others also.
