Lakme Absolute Matte Melt Liquid Lip Color Review & Swatches

July 28, 2018

Matte liquid lipsticks are my jam and you guys must be knowing how much I love them. It is tough to list my favourites because there are quite a few of them but in Indian brands, I really like the Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick and the Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color. I like these products because of quite a few reasons – they don’t make the lips super dry, they are very well pigmented and they stay on for a very long time. Does the new Lakme Absolute Matte Melt Liquid Lip Color (Rs 750) range match up to these favourites? Read on to find out.

Lakme Absolute Matte Melt Liquid Lip Color Review

The new Lakme Absolute Matte Melt Liquid Lip Colors are available in eight shades and I have four of them, sent by the brand. The formula is more or less same as the Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Colors but the Matte Melts are thinner and slightly lighter in texture.

From the 4 shades that I have tried, I’ve seen that the pigmentation is varied and that is the only issue I have with the formula. Mild Mauve and Crazy Tangerine does not go opaque in even 2-3 swipes while the darkest shade, Wine n Dine goes opaque in just one swipe. For Vintage Pink, couple of layers are good enough to get even, opaque coverage. I hope Lakme improves the pigmentation in the range soon enough.

The formula feels very comfortable on the lips and the best thing is that the lipsticks don’t dry out the lips. They last for around 5-6 hours depending on how much you eat and drink in between. Overall, I would say a pretty good product from Lakme and they have come out with some lovely shades in the range. Mild Mauve and Vintage Pink are great for everyday wear, Crazy Tangerine is for the orange lipstick lovers and Wine n Dine is the perfect evening and autumn/winter lipstick. Take a look at the swatches.

My Kiko Milano Makeup Haul + Swatches

July 27, 2018

I’ve not done a haul post in a really long time so this is basically one. Earlier this month when I was in London, Kiko Milano was having a fabulous sale where they were giving two products free with two products on practically everything in the store. It was an opportunity I definitely did not want to miss so I ended up buying some stuff. If you are interested to see what I got, read on.

Kiko Milano Water Eye Shadow 218 Grapefruit Pink 

Kiko makes some incredible eye makeup and I absolutely love their Water Eye Shadow range. These can be used both Wet and Dry and they have very good pigmentation and finish. It also helps that the shadows look gorgeous. They come in a sleek, black square compact and when you open, the eye shadow looks so pretty with its swirly wave effect.

The color I went for is Grapefruit Pink (218), a gorgeous peachy pink with golden frosted sheen. It is kinda similar to MAC’s Expensive Pink eye shadow. The colour is excellent as an eye shadow for sure but it is also very pretty as a highlighter and that is primarily the reason why I bought it. You can also check no 219 Flamingo Pink which is similar but has more pink in it. Both these shades are really worth buying.

Kiko Milano Long Lasting Stick Eye Shadows – 20, 37, 11

My introduction to Kiko Milano was through their range of Long Lastick Stick Eye Shadows. These are very creamy, easy to wear, glide on smoothly with excellent pigment deposit and stay on for nearly the entire day without creasing or fading. I use these sticks both as eye shadow and eye pencil and absolutely love them. This time I picked up three shades – Black (20), Burgundy (37) and Teal (11).

Kiko Milano Smart Colour Blush 05 Coral 

I picked up the shade Coral because the colour usually looks very good on medium to dark skin tones. It has a matte finish and while I have only swatched it till now, I am very impressed by the texture and pigmentation. It feels super smooth and colour payoff looks great.

Kiko Milano Full Coverage Concealer 06 Caramel 

I was in need of a full coverage concealer, I saw this one on sale, I tried it in the store, liked the result so bought it. It is a cream concealer but is not greasy at all. I’ve not used it yet so can’t say how good or bad it is. Will share my thoughts later.

Kiko Milano Skin Tone Concealer 07 Caramel 

This is supposed to be a “Fluid smoothing concealer with natural finish“. It gives medium coverage and is said to be perfect for everyday wear. I picked this up because I needed an everyday use concealer and also because I liked the description. In this range, there are two corrective shades as well -green and peach, suitable for all complexions. Will share my thoughts on this once I start using it.

Kiko Milano Radiant Fusion Baked Powder 06 Cocoa

The MUA in the store used this powder on me and I loved the finish. It gives a subtle glow to the skin but does not make it look too glittery or oily/greasy. It feels really silky and ultra-fine and goes on smoothly. The powder gives medium coverage but makes the skin look really nice.

Have you tried Kiko products? What are your favourites? I’d love to know.

MACxPADMA Collection – Sumac Lipstick + Powerpoint Eye Pencil Bordeauxline/Molé Brown

April 25, 2018

MAC has been one of my favourite makeup brands for years and there was a time when I would eagerly wait for each and every one of their collections. There was a maddening urge to grab atleast one Limited Edition piece simply because it was from MAC. But then they started releasing collections faster than I could cope up with and with every new launch, my interest and excitement levels also started going down. The shades looked the same, there was nothing new that was coming out and with much grief, I was forced to take a break from my makeup love. The break lasted for about a year. And then the MACxPADMA Collection came out. One look and I fell hook, line and sinker for that gold packaging.

I was in Sheffield when the collection launched in Nykaa and unfortunately because of the time difference, almost all the products were sold out before I could check the app. Hence, I settled for two pieces – Sumac lipstick (Rs 1500), a dark plum and Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Bordeauxline/Molé Brown (Rs 1320), a dark purple/ plum and cool brown.

Apart from the luxurious and eye-catching gold packaging which I read came right from her kitchen (the design is a copy of her Turkish plates), the best thing I feel about the collection is that it is very brown girl friendly. But do the products actually perform? Read on to find out my views on the stuff that I have.

5 MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour Swatches

January 1, 2018

Happyyyy New Year pretty people!! Did you have a great celebration last night? I sure did chilling at home eating good food, drinking wine, and spending time with my family :). And today, so far, I am doing exactly the same things and loving it! I have a lot of hope for 2018 and I wish you all the very best of everything this year. It is said that if you start off a new year doing things you love, you will do it all through so here I am doing something I love. Blogging. And writing about something I love. Lipsticks. Specifically, MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolours. I have written about them multiple times on the blog and if you have read this post, you will know that they were one of my favorite liquid lipsticks of 2017.

I really like the MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour formula now. When they were first launched, the formula was very drying but the brand has changed it up a bit since then and now it is a lot better. Excellent pigmentation, a flat matte finish and very good staying power are the reasons why I advocate these liquid lipsticks. And I also like the color palette. From neutral to dark colors, there’s something for everyone and it is also fun to mix and match. You can mix as many colors as you want to create your unique shade, you can do ombre lips and you can also them as eye shadow and blush.
