Revlon Superlustrous lipstick Chocolate Velvet review, lip swatches

Remember the good ol days of makeup in India when any departmental store worth its salt had the holy trinity of makeup brands on display- Lakme, Revlon & L'oreal. Thanks to the entry of so many newer & International brands in India,now we girls have a whole wide variety of choice of makeup.While the competition has been slowly making inroads, it might be too early to bid adieu to the old (makeup) war horses.

In my experience Revlon Super lustrous lipsticks are one of the best drugstore lipstick formulations available in India.Infused with mega-moisturizers to seal in color and softness.These are nice and creamy, impart rich glossy color and stays put for 3 hours on my lips.

Chocolate velvet is a smooth creamy cocoa shade and its best suited for medium to dark skin tones.Its neutral muted looks make it a great everyday / work wear lippie. The pigmentation and the hydration is quite good in these lippies.

Eye makeup look of the day- 'Drunk & Bruised'

I know the melodramatic post title would have left you wondering if I've turned in to a victim of domestic abuse or joining up 'Alcoholics Anonymous'. Absolutely not I'm not heading in Ms. Lohan's way.

This amazing eyeshadow from Glamor Doll Eye called ' Bruised' has been sitting on my vanity for ages & begging for my attention.So to do justice to it I wanted to create a Blue-n-Black EOTD. I decided to couple a shimmery black shadow from Deborah eyeshadow trio with  Bruised which is a purple based eyeshadow with turquoise and aqua green reflects

Here's how the 'Drunk & Bruised' look turned out.

Products Used-

NYX HD eyeshadow primer

Revlon eyeliner pencil-Black used on upper & lower lashline

Deborah Milano Trio High Tech Eyeshadow- Black Dahlia- glittery black color used all over eyelid

Glamor Doll Eyeshadow Bruised- Used on lower lash line and inner corner

Maybelline Colossal Mascara

KKCenterHK False eyelashes 812

QVS Lash glue

Oriflame eyelash curler

Hope you enjoyed the look- leave a comment behind & share your thoughts :)

Faces satin matte lipstick berry brown,review and lip swatch

Faces  lipsticks are fast becoming a favorite with me and have totally usurped my other drugstore lippies. Berry brown is a intense shade from the Satin Matte lipstick and true to its name the lipstick  is a brown with deep berry undertones, the shade will suit medium to duskier skin tones. On fairer skin tones this would look too deep.

Its a very comfortable matte lipstick with satin texture.So no worries of lips drying out but the staying power is only around 3 hours.

The satin matte range is good for office wear, where you don't want glossy finishes but don't want lipstick drying off your lips. Though re-application can be an issue with these.The lippie has a nice coconut cookie kind of faint smell and no flavor.
