NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment - Review

In my quest for deep pinks, I stumbled upon the NARS Powermatte Lip Pigments on the Sephora website. However, they were a little out of my budget and I was a little disappointed because the swatches looked exactly what I was looking for. Fortunately for me, it was holiday season and brands were churning one holiday set after another and I managed to get hold of this set from NARS which had two mini Powermatte Lip Pigments for less than the price of a full size one.

Jouer Cosmetics Long-Wear Lip Creme Liquid Lipstick in Fraise Bon Bon - Review

Jouer Cosmetics is a fairly young brand and has recently become popular thanks to their stunning variety of liquid lipsticks and blinding highlighters. The brand had intrigued me for quite a while and when my friend tried and raved their lip cremes, especially Fraise Bon Bon, I was sold.

tarteist quick dry matte lip paint in Bling - Review

tarte is definitely one of my favourite brands considering how great their products are especially their blushes and eyeshadows. I had been wanting to try their new quick dry matte lip paints for a while now but never got around to ordering one until recently when Dermstore was having their Spring Sale and I decided to sneak in one of these into my order. In any case, after seeing this shade on Temptalia, I was sold.

Lets Talk Liquid Lipsticks!

Liquid Lipsticks are the rage these days with every brand having their own version of them. I personally love a matte lip and what better way to get that than with a liquid lipstick. I have tried my fair share and while some I have come to love, others have not been too great. In this post, I will round up all the liquid lipsticks that I have tried along with mini reviews and shade suggestions. For reference, I have a wheatish complexion (MAC - NC 30) and yellow undertones.

Wet n Wild Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick - Review

Wet n Wild has got to be one of my favourite drugstore brand and currently they seem to be on a roll, releasing one appealing product after another. Though I definitely want to try their entire range, I decided to start by trying out their liquid lipsticks which were raved about by one of my favourite bloggers, Shehrbano on her blog, From The Other Side of Mirror.

Huda Beauty Lip Contour Set - Review

Huda Beauty, the Instagram/Youtube makeup guru created waves last year when she released first her Lip Contour Pencils, followed by Liquid Lipsticks and finally an eyeshadow palette. The Liquid Lipsticks were probably the craziest release as they were sold out within minutes. I, initially did not give into the immediate hype (to be honest, you don't have much choice when you are an unemployed blogger with a diminishing bank account). Anywho, when my holiday shopping was complete and I ticked off my wishlist (thanks to all those uncles and aunts who come from abroad and get lots of gifts), I had some spare cash so I decided to get this Lip Contour Set. Not to forget, the shade Famous was my berry dream come true. By this time, the set, which was a holiday special had obviously been sold out and the pages were asking for atrocious amounts for the set and I felt a little deflated. But like they say, agar kisi cheez ko sachay dil say chaho toh poori kainat conspires to get it for you, and I luckily found an independent seller who was selling this for a reasonable price. I immediately placed my order and I received my set soon after.

Kylie Lipkit in Kristen - Review

I'm probably the last person to finally get hold of the Kylie Lipkits. The Kardashians/Jenners are some of the most popular people in the world and when Kylie Jenner released her own line of makeup, the world naturally was ecstatic and every time she launched a product, it would be sold out within seconds. The initial colours did not attract me very much so I happily gave them a pass, given how costly these are. If you guys regularly follow by blog and Instagram, you would know that I am weak where berry/pink lip colours are concerned and lighter shades don't really appeal to me. Kristen seemed like my ideal colour and although I tried very hard not to give into the temptation, I somehow ended up ordering it and the rest, like they say, is history!

the Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes in Trustworthy - Review

This is definitely the year of liquid lipsticks given that this is the third review I am writing on a liquid lipstick in the past 2 months. You can read the previous reviews here and here. The Balm is definitely one of my favourite brands given their superb quality and quirky packaging so their liquid lipsticks were definitely on my wishlist since long. It was difficult to choose from the colours but I wanted a nice brown, so I chose Trustworthy which is a new release.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Berlin - Review

Lolita was definitely Kat Von D's claim to fame as far as their liquid lipsticks are concerned, but after trying my friend's Lolita, I decided that the shade was a little too dark for me. Nonetheless, I still wanted a Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in my collection because of their formula which is supposed to be one of the best.

Ofra Liquid Lipstick in Santa Ana - Review

No amount of lipsticks can satisfy a makeup addict and with new lipsticks launching every week it is impossible to resist them. In my quest to find the perfect pink-red plum lip colour, I stumbled upon Santa Ana on Makeup4u's page. It looked close to what I wanted so I immediately placed an order for it.
