LOTD: Back to Work Look: Soft Smokey Eye with a Nude Lip

Hi All!

Today I'm doing another 'back to work' look. The last one was a nude eye and dark lips. This one is the opposite. The eyes are smokey, but quite soft since you are wearing it to work! The liner is kept close to the lashes and not too thick. For the lips I used not an absolute nude colour, but a light brownish colour. Lets have a look...

Products Used for this Look:

1. Lakme CC Cream in Bronze
2. Maybelline New York Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Honey
3. Maybelline New York Clear Glow All-in-One Compact Powder in 02 Nude Beige
4. Makeup Revolution London Redemption Palette Hot Smoked
5. Elle 18 Liquid Eye Liner in Black Out
6. Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner Pencil in Nocturnal (to lightly line the lower lash line)
7. Maybelline new York Volum Express The Falsies (Washable) in Black
8. Bellapierre Mineral Blush in Autumn Glow
9. Avon Ultra Color Lipstick in Buttered Rum

Avon Ultra Colour Lipstick Swatches: Pinks Corals and Reds

Hi All,
I had done a quick review of Avon Ultra Colour Lipsticks yesterday. You can find it here.

Today, I'm posting the pictures of how these lipsticks look on application. Lipsticks look different on different people. My lips are not too pigmented, so this is how these lippers look on me.

 I've tried to click the pictures to give the truest colour. I stood facing and open window, out of direct sunlight to get this result.

Tangerine Tango

Lava Love

Sun Coral

Hot Pink

Red 2000

Perfect Red

Wild Ginger

Hibiscus

Ripe Papaya

Twinkle Pink

So which ones are you ordering today?

Product Swatches: Avon Ultra Color Lipstick SPF 15

Hi All!

Today I'm doing a quick swatch and review of Avon Ultra Color Lipstick SPF 15.

Price: INR 359/- for 3.8gms

 

The product comes in two varieties, Satin and Shimmer. There are 20 shades in this category.

My Take on the Product:

The lipstick comes in a plastic black twist up packaging with a window on top which makes it easy to identify the colour. The packaging is sturdy with little dimples at the base of the cap to prevent it from coming loose in your purse.

The formula is creamy and moisturising. It applies well with a semi opacity in one application. You get true colour in 2-3 swipes. It is not a very long lasting lipstick, on my lips it lasts for about 4 hrs. The product also transfers to cups while drinking. But then the product does not claim to be long lasting or non-transferable.

However, the darker shades of the  lipstick does leave a lovely stain.

The Shimmer variants have tiny shimmer particles. They are not overpowering, nor does it feel gritty.

At this price point its a good lipstick to have!

My favourites from the selection of Corals, Reds and Pinks are
Lava Love (Satin) which is a nice brick red
Tangerine Tango (Satin) : it is a burnt orange which will suit a wide variety of
Hot Pink (Satin): is a bright pink which would suit a wide range of skin tones.
Sun Coral (Shimmer): Its a sheer, nude brown, great for daytime wear.
Perfect Red (Satin): Its a deep maroon, great fall/winter shade.

Two shades do not go with Indian skin tones unless you are really fair, close to NC 25 or under, Twinkle Pink and Ripe Papaya

Pros:

1.  Good selection of colours.
2. Creamy, moisturising formula.
3. Contains Vitmain E  and SPF 15
4. Gives true colour in 2-3 swipes
5. Fades out to a pretty stain.
6. Do not need to exfoliate lips before application.
7. Does not settle in creases
8. Does not feather or bleed.
9. Shimmer particles are smooth and non-gritty
10.  Good Sturdy packaging
11. Transparent window on top to help identify colour easily.
12. Good price point

Cons:

1. Transfers to cups while drinking.
2. Needs to be reapplied after eating.

Overall Verdict:  4.5/5.  Its a great product to have at this price point. I'll definitely be picking up a few of these shades.
