Annika Maya Luxury Matte lipstick- review, swatches

Hi everyone,

Most of us love wearing nude lipsticks. The belief that nude lipstick can wash us out is not always true. There are so many varieties of nude shades and different colours suit different skin tones. I love wearing nude pink shades that aren't too light to wash me out. These days, I'm using two-three shades as my go to ones, one of which is this Annika Maya Luxury Matte lipstick in KATE. 

Annika Maya products are exclusively available at Brigette’s Boutique which is a great online store that carries numerous brands' products at low discounted prices including, cosmetics, nails care, bath and even bags. Another great feature for shopping at Brigette’s Boutique is they have reward points for all customers on every single dollar spent with over 4000 products to choose from.

MAC Up the Amp Lipstick - Review and swatches

A while ago I was crazy about the colour purple. I had many purple dresses, shoes and lipsticks in that color. I had been loving every kind of purple shade; lilacs, lavenders, mauves, violets, plums and purples. It was during that period when I visited the Mac store and got hold of this shade- Up the Amp and to be honest, this shade adds variety to the usual pinks and reds that my makeup drawers are overflowing with! 

So let's get started with the review of Mac Up The Amp lipstick.

FOTD using Sleek Makeup

I recently reviewed some of my latest picks from Sleek Makeup. The new i-divine & CC cream proved to be at par with the quality one expects from Sleek Makeup!

After using both products, I would love to share my experience with you all now! Let's start with the lipstick.

Lakme Nine-to-five Day Perfect lip color - Review,Swatches and LOTD

Hi lovely ladies

Today, I'm reviewing a daily wear shade from Lakme’s Nine to Five range - Toffee Nexus. Currently, it's one of my favorite shades as I love wearing it on a daily basis! 

The packaging, I believe, has changed but it is more eye catching and beautiful now. Lakme Nine-to-five Day Perfect lip colors come in a sleek pink metallic packaging which is so sturdy and looks pretty. In terms of appearance it's my favorite packaging from Lakme. The bullet has a flat tip instead of the regular pointed ones. It doesn't bother me but I think a bit pointed tip is easier to work when it comes to the corners of the lips.

Illamasqua Immodest lipstick- review, pics

One of my most loved pink shades is this Immodest lipstick from Illamasqua's Imperfection collection! I'm sure most of you are aware about this collection & the beautiful products part of it! The remarkable speckled nail varnishes, blush duos etc everything looks so impressive & as a result it was a pleasure to try this only lipstick shade part of the collection.

Frontcover Cosmetics Lipstick- review, swatches & FOTD

Hey everyone

Hope you all are doing well. Today's post is about a lovely cute lipstick from FrontCover cosmetics.

This is a cute small lipstick in a beautiful pink shade. These days I'm loving this lipstick which is really perfect for springs. But at first I would like to give a small introduction of this brand to my readers.

FRONTCOVER COSMETICS

All the lip gloss, lip stick, nail polish, eyeshadow, pencils, brushes, mirrors and accessories you need to get the very latest look plus step-by-step make-up artist instruction in every palette.

Emaze lipstick- review, swatches

I've already introduced you all to Emaze Cosmetics, a lovely French brand with a number of promising products! Today, I'm reviewing a shade of Emaze lipsticks: 522 Plum berry. Emaze lipsticks are available in 40 shades...yes, that's a pretty vast collection!

 Very true to its name, this shade is a deep berry color. Perfect for chilly weather, I'll write about its quality but let me come first on its packaging.

As you can see their beautiful packaging which can be compared some luxury brand's packaging. It comes in a black packaging box, inside the lipstick case, matte black, is also very beautiful with the brand name written boldly...the cap makes the case airtight & you can feel that while opening & closing it. Very secure, travel friendly packaging!

 

The formula is not completely matte but almost matte with slight shimmer. Though I don't usually admire a shimmery texture but in this lipstick you hardly notice the shimmers so it's nice. Though it looks quite shimmery in pictures but actually is not.The texture is quite moisturizing too so if you do not have very dry lips, can apply without any lip balm. 

It is super pigmented, just one coat will be fine on your lips. The shade is quite deep so one coat of application will be perfect if you are not fond of too deep a shade. 

I recently applied it on some occasions and came to know that it has an impressive lasting power too. It can last 5-6 hours easily without fading. I didn't notice any dirty patches even after the lipstick faded on my lips so it has tremendous lasting power.

Finally, I love this brand's lipstick, not only this product but also the other products from this brand, that my readers have read about. I would love to buy their products especially the lipsticks and glosses in some other shades. They are reasonably priced too!

PRICE

Available for €14 each

Sleek Makeup True Color Lipstick-Review, swatches & LOTD

Hey beauties

I've been much into fashion posts these days and I'm sure my cosmetics junky readers are missing a post of their interest so today I'm back with a lovely product from Sleek Makeup and I'm sure it'll make you happy.

I have previously used one of their lipsticks in a really dark shade from Berry collection  I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, richness of colour and longevity of the lipstick, so much so infact, I recently bought another one, but this time in  a light shade. I bought a peachy pink shade 'Bare All' from Sleek Makeup True Color Lipstick range.

There are 20 shades available in Sleek Makeup True Color range.

It comes in a box whilst the box itself isn't so appealing, the matte case of the lipstick is really chic and looks cute in any makeup bag. The size of lipstick is a bit small but in my opinion it's good because we can't stick with one lipstick and this size is enough for using it sufficient time. It's very light weight so it's pleasant to keep in my handbag always.

 



Bare All is an orangish peach shade. It's not nude but it's in between nude and peach. For dark skin it'll be a good peachy nude color.
The texture is completely matte, it is enriched with vitamin E but it doesn't moisturize your lips so  you always have to be sure that your lips are in good condition before you apply this. You can use a lip balm to moisturize your lips especially in winter because the texture of this lipstick is not moisturizing.

It is really impressive how pigmented this lipstick is, just one or two swipes gives you the sufficient color. I'm really surprised to see its pigmentation.



It has a fantastic staying power throughout the day, although it will come off if you eat, but not if you drink. The color itself is a bit bright so is perfect for day wear, but I think would also look great for night wear too with heavy eye makeup.
You have to pay just $6.49 for this fantastic lipstick, don't you think its like a steal?
I love its effect on my lips, I can wear it with many outfits especially with my black, blue and white color outfits.
Finally, I'm happy with my latest pick, I would love to buy some more shades from True Color range, I would also love to try out some shimmery light shades from this range.

PRICE- 

Sleek Makeup True Color Lipstick 'Bare All' is worth $6.49

AVAILABILITY-
Sleek Makeup True Color Lipsticks are available on Sleek Makeup Website and many super drug store in U.K

COB RATING-  4/5

Silken Peach 816

I'm reviewing this shade which is my favorite shade. Silken Peach is a dark peach brown shade with a hint of dull pink, I didn't find any hint of shimmer in the shade, it's really my favorite shade and I love it. 

In the mirror of my own experience

I have used some of Faces Canada lipsticks before and have reviewed one too, but this one my most most favorite!

Like other products of Silk Range this one is also an exceptional product from this range. I've used it many times and each time I found it excellent.

  

Packaging

Like all products from this range, the packaging of Faces Glam On Lipstick is beautiful and elegant. As you can see it comes in black metallic shining case which looks

stylish and eye-catching. 

The packaging is not only beautiful but sturdy and light weight too, very easy to keep in purse while traveling.

Texture

The texture is soft, silky and quite moisturising. It glides on lips very smoothly. It's between the matte and glossy and just perfect for the lips in every season. A silky feeling remains in my mind whenever I apply it on my lips because it insists me to feel due to its silky texture.

Pigmentation

Its a super pigmented lipstick just one or two swipes can give the right color. When I saw it at first, I thought it’s quite deep for me but after applying it, it proved to be one of my favorite shade lip color. It doesn't settle on fine lines and gives a soft look of lips. No need to apply a lip balm but in case you have super dry lips, apply a light coat of lip balm before using it.

Application

The shade is amazing and can be used with both light and dark eye makeup look because it's a shade that lies between dark and light. You can realize this only after applying it on your lips. I always apply it  after applying a same color lip liner, just two or three swipes give me the right color. I take a tissue paper, press on my lips and become ready for going out any where.

Effect

I just love the effect after applying it. I remember when I first applied it with a slight hesitation because the lipstick seemed to be a bit deep but I was happily surprised to see the actual shade and effect. The shade is so beautiful that it will go with every skin tones from fair to dark and also perfect for all ages from young to old ladies.

Lasting power

The lipstick also has very strong staying power, it lasts almost for 5 to 6 hours easily without fading. Even in this season, I found it very  long lasting. I think in summers very few lipsticks give such staying power.

Inside

Outside

Good points

It comes in a nice sturdy packaging with a glossy cover and secured locking system.

 The lipstick is quite moisturizing to my lips.

 The texture is very silky and it glides easily on my lips.

 I like the floral fragrance it has.

The price is not unreasonable to see its quality and quantity.

Bad points

If your lips are super dry, you need a lip balm before applying it.

Finally...

As i have told that it's one of my favorite lipstick so there's no need to write much now. The lipstick has all the qualities of a high class product. From packaging to smell, texture to pigmentation, lasting power to quantity everything is perfect. You can ignore some faults after getting so much advantages.  I really love this lipstick and appreciate Faces for giving such a lovely product to their customers.

Rating

4.9/5

Recommendation

Of course I want to recommend it to all my readers and friends, it's a high class product and
