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.

My Favourite Makeup Products of 2017

December 31, 2017

Favourite Makeup Products of 2017

Favourite Makeup Products of 2017

2017 was a good year in terms of makeup. Number of new products were launched and the best part was that we got access to many international brands. For me, along with trying a lot of new launches, I re-discovered my love for some old favourites and they make it to the list as well. Without further ado, here goes my list of Favourite Makeup Products of 2017. 

Favourite Makeup Products of 2017

Face Products :

Favourite Primer and Concealer of 2017

Favourite Primer and Concealer of 2017

Primer – Milani Prime Shield Mattifying + Pore-Minimizing Face Primer

I don’t use primer on a regular basis but this year, when I felt the need to use one, the product that I reached out to the most was the Milani Prime Shield Mattifying + Pore-Minimizing Face Primer. Not a new launch but I was quite intrigued by the description. The product claimed to ‘soften the appearance of fine lines, large pores and flaws and create a smooth canvas for makeup application‘.

I used the primer quite a bit during summer and really liked the texture. It is light, blends easily, mattifies the skin and gives a smooth canvas for makeup products to cling onto. 

Concealer –  Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer & LA Girl Pro Concealer

These are the only two concealers I used the entire year. Kat Von D Lock-It has everything you want in a concealer – super creamy, brightens the under eye area, blends easily, provides full coverage, does not crease or fade and lasts for nearly 12-13 hours. The LA Girl Pro Concealer pretty much does the same things at a much lower price. The only difference is that it is not as thick, does not last for as long and is not as full coverage but an excellent concealer no doubt if you are looking for one to wear on an everyday basis.

Compact Powder – Lakme  9 to 5 Primer + Matte Powder Foundation

I really liked the Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Powder Foundation. The texture is very creamy, gives decent coverage which is good for daily use, does not give a white cast and lasts for a long time as well. 

Foundation – Deciem The Ordinary Lightweight Serum & High Coverage Foundation 

Deciem The Ordinary Serum and High Coverage Foundation

Deciem The Ordinary Serum and High Coverage Foundation

Remember the foundation with a 25,000-person waitlist? Thankfully, I managed to get my hands on them and they are so worth the hype. The Serum Foundation has a lighter, liquid-y consistency and provides medium coverage. The HIgh Coverage Foundation is super concentrated and the best thing about it is that even though it provides excellent coverage, the face does not look unnatural or cake-y. The foundation stays put nearly the whole day and gives a matte finish. And the best part is that both foundations cost only $6. 

Blush – ColourPop Super Shock Blush & Milani Rose Powder Blush

Favourite Blushes of 2017

Favourite Blushes of 2017

The brand I used the most in 2017 was ColourPop. They came out with very good quality products at low prices and apart from their lipsticks, I also loved their eye shadows and blushes. The Super Shock Shadows are super soft, have excellent pigmentation, do not look powdery on the skin and lasts pretty long too. The Milani Rose Powder Blush is another favourite. Gorgeous packaging, not too expensive, gives a matte finish, blends really well and gives a natural look. 

Highlighter & Bronzer – theBalm Manizer Sisters Luminizing Palette

Favourite Highlighter of 2017

Favourite Highlighter of 2017

I tried a lot of highlighters this year. From Becca to Faces to Lakme to Wet n Wild etc but my all-time favourite will continue to be theBalm Manizer Sisters Luminizing Palette. Click the link above to know why I love these three sisters so much.

Setting Powder – RCMA No-Color Powder 

RCMA No-Color Powder

RCMA No-Color Powder

The world went gaga over the RCMA No-Color Powder and so did I. It is a lightweight, finely milled powder that sets foundation without changing its colour. 

Eye Products:

Brows – Maybelline Fashion Brow Pomade Crayon 

This is the only brow product I used the entire year. The crayon is very easy to use and in only a couple of strokes, it covers empty patches and also sculpts and shapes the brows. Also, lasts for nearly the entire day.

Eye Shadow – ColourPop Super Shock & Pressed Powder Eye Shadow 

ColourPop Eye Shadow

ColourPop Eye Shadow

For the price, these are the best eye shadows available in the market. Excellent pigmentation, no fallout, a wide range of shades and great staying power.

Mascara – Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara

I just started using this mascara after I got a sample in my November Sephora Play bag and it’s already become a favourite. This is an ultra-volumizing mascara that gives thick, mile-long lashes. Too good!

Other mascaras I loved are from Essence, BeYu and L’Oreal.

Kajal/Eye liner/Eye Pencil – Colorbar Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick, Colorbar I-Glide Eye Pencil, Plum Naturstudio Kajal, Nykaa Glamoreyes Liquid Eyeliners

Favourite eye makeup products in 2017

Favourite eye makeup products in 2017

When it comes to eye pencils, Colorbar has always been a favourite and this year, I’ve used a lot of their products. The Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick is excellent as a cream eye shadow and an eye liner and I love the I-Glide pencils for their range of shades, pigmentation and longevity. 

The best kajal has got to be from Plum. It is jet black and stays put without fading or smudging. This year, I also used a lot of liquid eyeliners and I loved the Nykaa Glamoreyes Liquid Eyeliner range. Lovely jewel-toned shades and good quality. 

Lip Products 

Lip Balm – Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Rush Lip Balm

An old old favourite. This year, Maybelline came out with quite a few variants in the Baby Lips range and I loved the Candy Rush balms. 

Lip Liner – MAC Soar, ColourPop Lippie Pencil

MAC’s Soar Lip Liner will make it to each and everyone of my favourites list year after year. It is the perfect pink nude shade and I not only use it as a lip liner but also as a lipstick. ColourPop’s Lippie Pencils are also a favourite because they are really creamy, go on easily and stays put. The only problem is that they are not retractable pencils so you do need to sharpen them.

Lipstick – Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick

Undoubtedly, the best matte lipstick formula out there. My favourite is the shade Queen, a gorgeous bright pink-red. I love the formula of the Matte Revolution lipsticks because they apply like a dream and not drying at all. If you love matte lippies, this is one range you must try.

Liquid Lipstick – MAC Retromatte, ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lips, The Body Shop Matte Lip Liquid, Sephora Cream Lip Stain 

Favourite Liquid Lipsticks of 2017

Favourite Liquid Lipsticks of 2017

I’ve tried a lot of liquid lipsticks but these are the ones I go back to most of the time. MAC Retromattes now have a new formula which is not as drying, The Body Shop Matte Lip Liquids have a lovely mousse like texture, apply smoothly and dry down to a velvet matte finish. If you have not tried any lipstick from the Sephora Cream Lip Stain range, you must get one now because these lipsticks with their excellent pigmentation and staying power are one of the best in the market. And if you like the stained lip look, try the ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lips. Less opaque than the Ultra Mattes and Ultra Satins but they last for hours. 

That’s it folks.  These were my Favourite Makeup Products of 2017 and I’d love to know your list. Do share in the comments below. And whoever is reading this, I wish you and your family a brilliant 2018. May all your wishes come true 🙂

P.S – I have only included products that I use so you won’t find a contouring product, eye shadow primer or BB/CC cream on the list.

MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick Topped With Brandy & Chocotease

January 12, 2017

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you will know that MAC Cosmetics is finally available at Nykaa. The concerns I had after hearing the news was whether 1) the prices would be the same as in the stores and 2) if they would have the same collection and not a capsule one. I am happy to say yes to both and in fact, online they are actually launching products that have not hit the stores yet. I am talking about the twelve new MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick shades that are part of the Spring 2017 collection. These are as of now only available at Nykaa and I picked up two of them – Topped With Brandy and Chocotease. The liquid lipsticks are priced at Rs 1850 each.

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip And Cheek Color Review & Swatches

December 4, 2016

When I went to Mumbai late October to attend the Pond’s event, I was told by the Lakme team about a new launch from the brand that they were all very excited about. I didn’t get too many details except for the fact that it would be the Lakme’s first lip and cheek color. Mention lip color to me and my interest level immediately shoots up so I was definitely curious to know what’s coming. One week later, I got the deets. They were talking about the new Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color. I was sent three shades to try out – Blush Velvet, Burgundy Lush and Pink Plush. Read on to know more…

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color

About Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color

The Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color is the brand’s first ever lip and cheek product in a light weight liquid mousse texture that comes in 10 intense and vibrant shades. It is easy to use, easily blends, and has a great colour payoff. All the shades leave a beautiful dewy tint on the cheeks and gives the lips an opaque matte finish that won’t budge throughout the day. Use the soft applicator tip for speedy application and for creating a defined look without looking ‘over done’.

Price – Rs 575
