Nature's Brilliance By Sue- Butter lipstick, Mineral Blush/Eye color- Review & swatches

Hi ladies,
Hope everyone is doing well!!

Today's review is all about these lovely products so take a look:


They are a Mineral Color Set including:
Cranberry Butter lipstick
Mineral Blush/Eye color



So firstly I'm gonna review this Cranberry Butter Lipstick in the shade: 002LS Bronze Star

Ingredients:
Ingredients: Pure Cranberry Butter (Pure Cranberry Fruit, Shea Butter, Jojoba), Certified Organic Jojoba Oil, Lecithin (Vegetable Source), Castor Seed Oil, Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol (Vegetable Source), Olive Fruit Oil, Beeswax, Soybean Lipids, Carnauba Wax, Candelillia Wax, Natural Vitamin E, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Mica, Iron Oxide.


Packaging:

The packaging is pretty impressive...comes in a black covering packing body and opens easily with a click....something like revlon matte lippies!!

Price:
$10

Shade

It’s a tea rose pink or some kind of dirty brownish pink shade with shimmers. The shimmer with this shade looks so pretty!!

Texture

The texture of this lipstick is creamy and buttery. The pigmentation is wonderful. It spreads so softly on my lips in only one or two swipes.

In the mirror of my own experience

To be honest when I first opened this lipstick I was not much impressed because I don’t like shimmery lip colors and I have often noticed that the lipsticks of many famous brands which include shimmers in them are not much pigmented. Sometimes after applying only shimmer particles show on the lips which looks quite weird. And that was my first impression about this lipstick as well but after applying it on my hand, I was totally proved wrong because it’s highly pigmented with such a creamy and buttery texture. The shade looks so pretty…God I’m very impressed. I have used it 2 times. The lasting power of this lipstick is also quite impressive. This lipstick is available in 22 different shades HERE.

Good points

The texture of this lipstick is creamy, soft & velvety.

Pigmentation is amazing.

The required shade only needs one or two swipes.

I love its lasting power: 5-6 hour without reapplying.

The ingredient of this lipstick is totally natural so there is no need to fear for harmful chemical on your lips.

Very light weight.

Can be worn with both light or dark outfits.

It’s water proof. You can drink your favorite drink without any tension of your shade getting fade.

Bad points

Just a small bad point which I feel should be mentioned and that is, the silver shimmers in the lipstick are not easy to remove using a common cleanser.

Final thoughts

I love this lipstick. Love its texture, its shade and pigmentation. This lipstick can make your evening pleasant.

Rating

4.5/5

So now let's come on to the Mineral Blush/Eye color

It’s a mineral blush plus eye shadow. One can use it in both ways.

Shade

It’s a light tea rose pink shade very much similar with lipstick with silver shimmers. The shade is quite incentive.

Texture

It’s a mineral powdery texture which is very easily spread on both of the eyelids and cheeks.

In the mirror of my own experience

During applying at first time, it seems quite shimmery on my eyes and on the cheeks which was a bit uncomfortable. But next time when I applied it, I was careful about it and gave a light touch on my lids and cheeks. Then blended it with my Revlon mineral powder. And the result was quite impressive. The light shimmers gave my face a healthy glow and it looked natural as well. So I have decided to apply it lightly in the future. But for any festivals or special occasions, the shimmers will look adorable.

Good points

It's mineral so won't harm your skin.

Works as a blush and eye shadow at the same time so no need to take an extra blush or shadow.

Gives a very pretty and healthy glow to your cheeks and eyes.

It absorbs so wonderfully in your skin as if a part of your skin’s natural glow.

Bad points

The texture is powdery so there is a lot of fallout but as you can use it as a blush so you can blend it after applying on the lids.

If you don’t want to apply it as a blush you have to remove it with your foundation. So if you want to save your foundation, apply your foundation after applying the shadow on your lids.

It’s so shimmery so you shouldn't wear it with a daily wear or for office.

Final thoughts

Finally I can say that it’s a lovely product. Being a mineral product I can use it without any tension. It can make your festival look beautiful.

3.5/5

Makeup For ever Rouge artist lipstick- review, Swatches & pics



Hi ladies

Today I’m reviewing about my first Make up for ever lipstick which I bought from Sephora.com. I received it yesterday only and now I’m very much in love with this lippie. So today this is just a quick review about this lipstick. Check it out!!

Rouge Artist Intense lipstick


What it is:

A highly pigmented, long-lasting lipstick that delivers rich color in one stroke.



What it does:


Formulated with 50% more pigment than the traditional lipstick, Rouge Artist Intense gives an immediate true-to-color result. A blend of three natural waxes, the creamy texture glides on effortlessly for a long-lasting hold. The extensive color and texture range provides unlimited creativity.

Rouge Artist Intense lipstick-


Shade-

This is a satin orange beige shade 24. Very different from the other nude and orange shades that I have. It is not an exact nude color but quite close to it.

Packaging-

The packaging is not as impressive as the quality and shade. In my opinion it should have been even better.

Price- $19

My experience-


When I ordered this lipstick, I was afraid about the exact color which I wanted, because I was not sure that the shade would be the same as I had seen in the shade card list but when it came and I opened it, I jumped with joy because the shade was exactly the same. :D ?I’m very happy to get the perfect shade that I have always wanted. Today I quickly wanted to show it to all my readers so this is just a quick and short review about this lipstick. Till now I’ve only tried it on my hand for the swatches but as soon as I do a look using it I’ll show it to all of you.


Some reasons to love this lipstick-

It’s very much pigmented. Only one swipe is enough to get the right color.

It gives a satin effect to my lips.

The texture is smooth and soft.

It’s quite moisturizing.

I’m really in love with the shade of this lipstick.


The shade is wearable for daily basis so I can use it often.

Staying power seems to be good.

Here are the swatches-


Some reasons why I don’t love this lipstick-


I don’t like the packaging as mentioned above also.

The price is not reasonable.

It’s not available in my city.

Overall this lipstick is great; especially the shade and the pigmentation.

Rating- 4.25/5

So what’s your opinion about this lipstick? Have you tried this lipstick or this shade? Would love to know ?

Mac Dazzle lipstick( Hellraiser)- Review

Hi cuties, hope you all are fine.

It is said that when you do something wrong once, you don’t stop there, you rewind your fault sometimes again & again…hey don’t you worry girls there is nothing anything serious, I’m just kidding Lol!:-)
I’m talking about me purchasing Mac once again and this time MAC Dazzle Lipstick in Hellraiser, was my choice. I can’t say that this is my best lipstick but it’s special because this is my second/first Mac lipstick( first one I got it about 5 years ago so let’s consider this the first one in my current collection).


This lipstick is little bit different from my other lippies. It has shimmers but these shimmer will not make me loud. It gives you a glossy effect with multi colored sparkle which is so beautiful. I really love the multi-coloured sparkles in the pearlised lavender base.

Purple and peach are my favorite shades after pink so these shades also attract me.
This is especially for the special occasion because you can’t wear it for daily use dresses.

MAC Dazzle Hellraiser Lipstick

It comes in a very cute packaging as all Mac lippies. The quality is amazing of this lipstick. It is a light lavander colour with blue, golden and silver shimmers, which look very beautiful on the hand when swatched and no doubt they can make your lips beautiful and special.

Price- Rs 990 ( $12 approx.)
Why this lippie attracts you-

Mac has made it really very different and pretty, not only the shades are amazing in this range but also the quality of lipstick is fabulous.

It is very pigmented despite of its shimmers.

The shimmers make your lips beautiful not gritty.

You don’t feel awkward after wearing this lipstick with shimmer because it doesn’t make your lips loud.

Blending power of this lipstick is amazing.

You don’t need any lip balm before applying it and not any gloss after it.

It is glossy, but not like a lip gloss.

It’ll be very pretty for festival season and will go very nicely with Indian wears.

Here are the swatches-

A close up-

Why you should stay away-

First big con is the price. I have already written about it.

You can’t wear it with daily wear so it’ll be consumed less.

But if you want to look special on any special occasion, you can try it. Hey
girls, most of you must have used it already so I really want to know your opinion that I have bought something good or not?
Your positive opinion will give me some satisfaction. Have a great week
