My Experience:
Shade: 480, Red Said Black. It's a coffee brown with heavy reddish-blue undertones. It looks like the darkest shade available in the collection in my opinion.Perfect for the winter season. I lover dark shades and that's why I chose this particular shade!It will suit all the skin tones well.Especially medium-complexioned Indian skin tones.

The lipsticks in the Ultimate Colour collection come in a black coloured plastic tube.Details like shade number,name,quantity and shelf-life are mentioned on the tube-packaging.The bottom of the lipstick has a colour-coded sticker that matches the lipstick's shade the tube holds.It comes in very handy if we have more than one lipstick from this collection.The packaging is sleek,sturdy and travel-friendly.

                                     

         

                                     In Pic: Shown colour-coded sticker at the bottom of the lipstick

Formula & Texture:

• This lipstick has got a creamy-finish
• Very pigmented.One single swipe is enough to cover-up any lip-pigmentation
• Satin-finish of the lipstick makes the lips look luscious
• Very comfortable on the lips and doesn't bleed.
• Doesn't settle into the fine-lip lines.Keeps lips moisturized for a really long time
• Sets quickly on the lips and after few hours looks kind of matte on the lips.Yes,the sheen goes away as the time passes
• Survives light snacks.After a heavy meal,we need to re-apply the lipstick Stains the lips as it's a very dark shade.
• Re-application is easy and layering up the product doesn't look patchy.
• Doesn't flake or feather unless you have chapped lips
• Not transfer-proof. Transfers a lot.
• Not smudge-proof

Longevity:
Lasts for about five hours (max).This lipstick can be removed easily using a makeup-wipe or a remover.Long lasting lipstick...I must say.

Con:
Transfers a lot!

Overall,I love this lipstick and you must try at least one shade out of the fifteen shades available.The lipsticks in the Ultimate colour collection are very pigmented and long-lasting at the same time.There are awesome shades available...from nudes to bold reds they have it all.Cool collection!

Will I re-purchase?
Yes. Also, this shade is an addition to my existing Catrice Ultimate Color lipstick collection. Would love to try out other shades from this range.Love the formula to bits!

Rating : 4.5/5

Tips: Lining out lips before applying the lipstick is a good idea.Also,don't forget to prep-up the lips by exfoliating and applying a generous amount of lip balm.Then,wipe off the lip balm exactly before applying the lipstick

Availability:
In UAE,available at the V Perfume stores.

Top Six Nail Paints : Spring-Season Inspired!(Affordable)

Hi All,

Today I am going to share with you top six nail-polishes that are appropriate for the spring-season!

I love spring season,it's a transition period between cold winters and hot summers.

I love nail-paints and that's why I thought of sharing with you my top six picks that I have been enjoying thoroughly this season!

Let's get started! But,don't forget to check out the swatches at the end of the post.

My picks are the shades from pink,lavender,green,blue & grey families.If you love nail-paints like me,then read on to know more.

                                         

                                In Pic - Clockwise order:13,Essence; FC14,Flormar; GR13;

E7311,Wet N Wild; 114,Catrice & 921,Eveline Cosmetics

My first pick is a mauvy-pink nail paint by Essence Cosmetics.Essence is a cruelty-free brand.

Pink is the colour all girls love and so do I.I love pink nail-paints be it mauvy,fuschia,baby pink ,coral pink!This nail-polish by Essence is a soft mauvy-pink shade which is apt for the spring season and would suit all the skin tones.This is a lovely shade and you will instantly fall in love with it.I assure you that.Love it.                                                     

Shade-name: 13,Forgive Me,The Gel Nail Polish Collection

Price: AED 7 / INR 199

Quantity: 0.27 fl oz/ 8ml

Second shade is a lavender shade from Flormar Cosmetics,Turkey. Flormar is an affordable makeup and body-care brand.This lavender shade is very feminine and not over the top.It is soft and classy!

                                        

Shade-name: FC14, Lavender Relaxation,Full Color Nail Enamel Collection

Price: AED 12

Quantity: 0.27 fl oz/ 8ml

Third shade is a pista-green coloured nail paint from Missha Cosmetics,Korea.

I love Missha as ir is a cruelty-free and they have a huge variety of products available.From skin-care to makeup they have it all.Korean skin-care are popular across the globe.

Coming to the shade,it's a very nice pista-green/grass-green shade that will suit mostly all the skin tones.                                                                    

                                       

Shade-name: GR13,Lucid Nail Polish Collection

Price: AED 36

Quantity: 8ml

Fourth shade is  my absolute favourite and is truely nature-inspired.It's a pure pastel-green

or mint green shade from Wet N Wild Cosmetics.Wet N Wild is a famous cosmetics brand and all the products are affordable.It's a drugstore brand which has many products that are much better than any high-end brand.True.

                                          

Shade-name: E7311, Pretty Peas,1 Step Wonder Gel Nail Color Collection

Price: AED 18

Quantity: 0.24 fl oz/ 7ml

This shade is very light and it gives a cool look when paired with any floral dress.

This shade gives such a calm and soothing effect to eyes.Love this shade and it's really apt for the spring-season.

Fifth shade is a blue shade from Catrice cosmetics.Again,this is a very affordable,drugstore brand.It has some amazing products that you should check-out e.g.  it's single eyeshadows etc.

It's a sky-blue shade.It is very different than a pastel-blue and a normal-blue shade.I love this shade because it looks so different.If you don't like deep blues and pastel blues than you can try this shade out.

Shade-name: 114, The Sky So Fly,Ultimate Nail Lacquer Collection

Price: AED 13

Quantity: 0.33 fl oz/ 10ml

In the spring-season,mostly pastel shades look good(experts say so).and that's my last pick.It's a pastel cement-grey shade from Eveline Cosmetics.Eveline Cosmetics is a European brand.It is very much affordable.I like their nail-enamels apart from the lipsticks.

The shade is a grey-shade that simply looks amazing.You can top it up with a matte top coat or wear it as it is.It will look good in both ways.

                                           

Shade-name: 921,Colour Instant Collection

Price: AED 25

Quantity: 0.42 fl oz/ 12ml

Swatches:
