Ellis Faas Creamy Lips-'Ellis Red' LC 101 Review and lip swatches

A few months back I posted about my meeting with Ellis Faas,Celebrity Makeup Artist who has worked with the world's most pre-eminent fashion designers, photographers, stylists, hairdressers and models & has been featured in top magazines in the world. Ellis has worked for make-up brands, such as Clinique, Lancôme and MAC Cosmetics – and she was asked by L'Oréal to create a make-up line for their skin care brand, Biotherm.

Ellis decided to put her insight and technical expertise to use while creating her own makeup brand-'Ellis Faas'.Today I'm reviewing a beautiful lipstick from Ellis's range its called Ellis Faas Creamy lips.
It is a long-wear lipstick that provides pure colour, and a shiny finish that lasts overtime. It gives superior comfort both in application and on lips. Plumping actives improve hydration and smooth your lips.

Ellis Red a.k.a. LC 101 is a rich sumptuous color,this blood red lipstick transcends age and color and is universally flattering. This is a retro shade and an Ellis Faas cult classic.Its “Human Colour” and therefore suitable for each skin tone, age or style.

For classic definition: the texture of this highly pigmented, covering lipstick gives great definition to your lips, both as a fully covering shade, but also as a mere stain. ACTIVE INGREDIENTS - Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Candelilla Wax, Prune Seed Extract.


It has No scent. No taste. No parabens. No animal testing.

How to apply-Use Creamy Lips with the spongy applicator first by painting the lips with just a small amount of lipstick, then fully load the applicator to fill inside of the lips. Creamy Lips is also great for a more stained effect: just load a tiny bit of the lipstick onto the applicator, apply and blot for a matte stain.

The Comeback Post & What have I been up to these past few weeks?!

'Comeback'  was a word I only associated with aging movie stars hopelessly trying to get their groove back.I never quite imagined that I'd be writing a 'Comeback Post' I guess I had underestimated inertia & Newton's first law of motion.

I have spent quite a few hours these past few days staring blankly at my computer screen willing myself to write, but writer's block coupled with tons of very important things going on in my life had forced me to let blogging take a back seat for a while.

I've received tons of mails, comments from readers,fellow bloggers and PR reps asking me-'Where have you been?' 'Why are you not blogging?' 'When will you start posting?'

So I thought while we are on the comeback post, I'll share with all of you what have I been up to...
I hope some of my experiences will give a bit of motivation and inspiration to other women out there take professional risks and grab good career opportunities when they come their way.

Few months back I got an exciting career opportunity within my company, based out of the Head Office in Mumbai.The role had a much wider canvas and many learning opportunities.
I was very excited about this new role and my Hubby understood and shared my passion and decided to support my move.Contrary to everybody's expectation & common wisdom, I said YES! to the new role in a new location.
(Lesson learned- Take calculated risks & grab the opportunity)
