Review : Milani Cosmetics Amore Matte Lip Creme Lipsticks

Hi Beauties!

Hope you are having a great day!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the Milani Cosmetics Amore Matte Lip Creme liquid lipsticks.There are around thirty three shades available on their website.I purchased two lipsticks.Shades Amore & Emotion.So let's get started!


About Milani:
Milani cosmetics is a cruelty-free makeup brand based out in Los Angeles,USA.

Product Description:
It’s time to put your lipsticks on notice. The Amore Matte Lip Crème has arrived. This revolutionary, highly saturated liquid-to-matte formula dries to a soft, velvety finish for fuller-looking lips. Its double-sided, flexible plush applicator hugs the contours of lips, working to lock in bold, opaque color. Non-sticky, smooth and ready for all-night wear (up to 16 hours!) our Amore Matte Lip Crème is the ultimate transfer resistant kiss-me-matte.

Price : AED 45-50

Quantity : 0.21 OZ / 6g

Shelf-life : 12 months

Ingredients:
Isododecane, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Kaolin, Flavor (Aroma), Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Synthetic Beeswax, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate. +/- May Contain: , Red 30 Lake (CI 73360), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Red 6 Lake (CI 15859), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Red 27 Lake (CI 45410), Red 28 (CI 45410), Iron Oxide (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).

My Experience:

Shades:

• 32, Emotion : It's a brown lipstick with a hue of red in it. Looks pretty and definitely not for the faint of heart.It's a vampy deep brownish-red that elevates the mood.If you enjoy wearing bold lipsticks, you might wanna check this shade out.

• 22, Amore : It's a beautiful and vibrant red with a hint of pink. Looks like a reddish-pink shade and brightens up the complexion / overall makeup-look. I love this shade to bits.Perfect for party wear or any festive occasion.

Swatches:

Packaging:

The lipstick comes in a rectangular acrylic-tube packaging. It's a see-through tube,so we can easily see the lipstick-colour through the packaging.The important details like shelf-life ,product quantity etc are mentioned on the tube.The shade name and number are mentioned at the bottom of the tube-packaging.The twist open lid is plastic and of pure yellow gold colour. The flat-sponge tip applicator is very easy to work with.It actually helps in lining out the lips.Overall , the packaging looks very classy and attractive. The packaging is sturdy and can be carried easily while travelling...on the go i.e. travel-friendly packaging.

Formula & Texture:

• The lipsticks in this collection have got a slight vanilla-like smell.Not strong.The smell goes away as the time passes and is definitely not bothersome
• Creamy formula with powder-matte-finish
• Non-sticky formula
• Quickly dries up on the lips (around one minute)
• Soft to touch and very pigmented!
• One dip into the tube is sufficient to get full opaque coverage on lips.Girls having pigmented lips can rejoice! Wait wait wait...this is the case with the shade "Emotion".When we apply the shade "Amore" we can clearly see the lip-pigmentation peeping through the lipstick.Definitely need two coats of the lipstick in order to get full opacity.
• Re-application  is very easy.No need to remove entire layer and then re-apply, just apply on top of the already existing lipstick.It doesn't make the lips look crusty or pathetic.The lipstick sits beautifully on the lips.

Effective/ Worth?

• The product glides like a dream on the lips
• Non-patchy application.Very easy to apply and distribute over the lips...evenly
• The powder matte finish looks really very pretty and I love it
• Comfortable to wear , but, a tad bit drying
• Completely transfer-proof to a great extent.99%.Yay!
• Smudge-proof and water-proof
• Doesn't enhance lip-lines severely
• Very lightweight formula,feels like nothing is there on the lips
• The applicator is awesome.Easy to hold(grip) and apply the product
• Both the shades stained the lips (whenever applied)
• The shade range is amazing...I must say.

Longevity:
The lipsticks in this collection have an average staying power of about three to four hours(max).
Survived light snacks very well.These lipsticks don't really survive heavy meals.Post-meal,the lipstick goes away from the center of the mouth and you need to do a touch-up.
In case you don't eat oily or greasy food then the lipstick will stay on the lips for about 
5-6 hours(depends) and then fade away evenly leaving a slight stain behind.

Cons:

• Enhances dry patches/flakes on the lips
• Lips feel somewhat dry. Solution : Exfoliate your lips beforehand. Apply a lip-balm underneath. 
• Gives butt-hole lips after having a meal.Oily food breaks down the product easily.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,if ever I get through a full lipstick-tube. :D
I like the formula of these lipsticks.On a side note, both the lipsticks will surely suit all the skin tones across the globe.Take my word,but, only if you like to go that bold and bright.I personally love wearing all sorts(well, there are exceptions...of course!) of shades that tend to suit my apricot-skin tone.Just because of this reason I went ahead and picked up these two shades from the entire collection.I am happy with these lipsticks.  But, yes would like to let you all know that these lipsticks
make my lips feel a little dry (bearable).Layering after finishing off the meal is a necessity for sure. I would like to purchase a different shade from the Amore Matte Lip Creme collection called
"Gorgeous". :)

Rating : 3.5/5

Review : Loreal Micellar Water

Hi Lovelies!

Hope you are doing great!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the Loreal's Micellar water. First of all, lemme tell you why I chose this product.I love L'Oreal Paris Dermo Expertise Lip And Eye Make-Up Remover,it's one of my holy grail products.Have been using it for a really long time.So, when Loreal came up with their micellar water version, I thought of giving it a try.Hence, this blog-post! :D

Let's get started with the review.Shall we?

About Loreal:
A global beauty care brand, L’Oréal Paris believes in the essence of helping every woman embrace her unique beauty while reinforcing her innate sense of self-worth with their internationally renowned, diversive products. The brand has wide range of affordable luxury, high-quality products in categories like skin care, hair care, hair color and makeup.

Product Description;
With the new L'Oreal Paris Micellar Water, now remove every trace of make-up, dirt, oil & pollution effortlessly and on the go, in just one swipe. Unlike other cleansers, Micellar Water requires no rinsing. Powered by micelle molecules that cluster together to surround and lift away impurities and makeup with no rinsing or harsh rubbing.

• Cleans dirt and impurities.
• Hydrates and softens skin.
• Removes every trace of makeup.
• Suitable for all skin types.

Price : INR 475

Quantity : 95 ml

Shelf-life : 6 months                           
                         

Ingredients:

What's a micellar water?
According to board-certified dermatologist Hadley King of Skinney Medspa, micellar water is made up of micelles (tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules) suspended in soft water. “The idea is that micelles are attracted to dirt and oil, so they are able to draw out impurities without drying out the skin,” she says. Therefore, micellar water can be used as a facial wash, makeup remover and moisturizer all in one.
“It looks like water, it has the viscosity of water but when you put it on your finger and feel, it has a different texture than water,” says Tabasum Mir, a skincare physician in cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic laser surgery.
Instead of foaming and stripping your complexion like soap and cleansers, micelles dissolve the bad stuff, while keeping the good stuff on your skin intact.

Source : http://stylecaster.com/beauty/what-is-micellar-water/

In layman's terms, micellar water is a product apt for removing makeup,dirt,gunk etc. from your skin.

My Experience:

Packaging:
Attractive packaging.Product comes in a plastic cylindrical bottle that has got a pink coloured plastic cap.We need to squeeze out / tilt the bottle to get the product from  the small nozzle.The packaging is very travel friendly and sturdy.Easy to carry along while travelling.The details like ingredients,quantity,shelf-life etc are mentioned on the packaging itself which is a good thing.

                                             

In Pic : Shown the opening on the head of the cylindrical bottle

In Pic : Shown product details and how to use directions

Formula & Texture:
The micellar water has a liquid-consistency(obviously).It doesn't smell of anything in particular.The texture is not oily or greasy,it's somewhere in between.Non-sticky.Love the formula,it's very lightweight and effective.Not strong or harsh on the skin.
Glycerin is one of the key ingredients and may be that's why this product keeps the skin moisturized.

Fragrance:
No fragrance.

Effective?
Yes,definitely.

• Firstly,the consistency is liquid(y) so,it becomes very easy to work with.Easy to apply on the cotton pad and clean out the skin.
• It didn't break out my sensitive skin.Skin felt soft.
• Didn't cause any skin rashes.Be careful and don't rub the cotton pad too hard,else skin-irritation might happen.Be gentle.
• Didn't leave any sticky cast on the skin.
• Very lightweight and comfortable
• Didn't strip off any essential oils from the skin
• For eye/lip makeup : use one-two cotton pads...that's sufficient.Take the product on a cotton pad generously and apply gently on the eyes/lips.Wipe in circular motions.
• Removes waterproof makeup in a jiffy! Might need to use more product on the cotton pad to remove makeup(full face). Ideally, two to four cotton pads are sufficient(depends though).
• Suitable for combination skin.Tested.
• This micellar water requires no rinsing.Very true.

Con:
Nothing in my opinion

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,definitely.Bottom line is cleanse, remove makeup and soothe as per the product-claims.I totally agree with it.This product works fine.

Overall ,I would like to say that this micellar water has become my new favourite.
I highly recommend checking this product out!

Review : The Body Shop's British Rose Instant Glow Body Butter

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well!

Body care is very important and what better can be than using a good body butter which has rose - extracts!Sounds interesting...yeah!Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the The Body Shop's British Rose Instant Glow Body Butter.

Let's get started!

Product Description:

Indulge in dewy hydration with our first Body Butter with glow enhancing rose essence. Beautifully pearlescent, this velvety-soft moisturiser is light to the touch but rich on moisture. Non-sticky and perfect for normal to dry skin, it transforms instantly on skin to give you an instant all-over healthy looking.

• For normal to dry skin
• 24H moisture
• Transforms on skin revealing an instant healthy looking glow
• With the essence of hand-picked British roses

Price : AED 82 /  Rs 1150 for 200 ml (Available in two sizes 50 ml and 200 ml)

Shelf-life : 12 months

How To Use?
Massage into skin daily and allow to sink in before dressing. It works especially well after a shower with our British Rose Shower Gel.
                                     

In Pic : Shown the outer packaging of the product

Ingredients :
Aqua/Water (Solvent), Glycerin (Humectant), Glycine Soja Oil/Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil (Emollient), Cetearyl Alcohol (Emulsifying Agent), Ethylhexyl Palmitate (Skin Conditioning Agent), Myristyl Myristate (Emollient), Butyrospermum Parkii Butter/Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (Skin Conditioning Agent - Emollient), C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate (Emollient), Glyceryl Stearate (Emulsifying Agent), PEG-100 Stearate (Surfactant), Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Oil (Emollient), Parfum/Fragrance (Fragrance Ingredient), Panthenol (Skin Conditioning Agent), Mica (Opacifying Agent), Caprylyl Glycol (Skin Conditioning Agent), Dimethicone (Skin Conditioning Agent), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Carbomer (Stabiliser/Viscosity Modifier), Tocopherol (Antioxidant), Sodium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster), Benzyl Salicylate (Fragrance Ingredient), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Citronellol (Fragrance Ingredient), Geraniol (Fragrance Ingredient), Rose Extract (Skin Conditioning Agent), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone (Fragrance Ingredient), Citric Acid (pH Adjuster), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), CI 77891/Titanium Dioxide (Colorant), CI 17200/Red 33 (Colorant).

My Experience:

Packaging:
The product comes in a plastic-tub packaging.The packaging is really very attractive.Tub is of pink colour and the plastic lid is of black colour with matte-finish. All the details like quantity,shelf-life,ingredients are mentioned on the packaging.Tub-packaging is sleek, firm and very much travel-friendly.The twist-open lid gets closed tightly enough to avoid product-spillage.Overall,nice packaging...I must say...thumbs up.

                                         

Formula & Texture:
Firstly,as soon as we open the black-lid we can smell the rosy-scent which is very calming.The pale pink coloured body butter has a silky smooth texture.The body butter is of white colour with pink hues to be precise.The product has a whipped cream like consistency which is not thin or runny.It's not thick at all and is just the way I like.The body butter has awesome ingredients like Glycerin ,Soybean oil,shea butter and rose extracts.Glycerin and shea butter are meant to keep the skin healthy and glowy. Soybean oil helps in protecting from the harmful UV rays.It helps in calming the skin that was damaged due to sun rays.Soybean oil is very beneficial in the treatment of skin damages which are occurred due to air pollution as well.How cool is that!!!Really nice.Rose extracts have been used in appropriate amount,just the perfect amount that's not over powering and artificial.In fact it's very real,feels like we are somewhere near a rose-garden!I basically purchased this body butter because of it's rose-fragrance.But, I'm loving the product as well.

                                         

In Pic :  Actual product - The British Rose Body Butter

In Pic : Shown the texture of the body butter

Effective / Worth?

• Scoop out the product and apply on the skin ,rub in circular motion.It gets absorbed into the skin very quickly and seamlessly.
• Very lightweight body butter
• Not at all greasy.I would say less is more.Do not apply a lot on your skin.Scoop out less product at a time and apply.Scoop again only if required or you feel like.If we apply a lot of product,it tends to get oily/greasy.As the time passes the greasiness goes away though.
• The body butter doesn't leave any sort of cast on the skin (after application)
• Leaves the skin feeling really silky soft and supple.Using this product regularly definitely gave good results.
• We only need to apply the body butter once and never felt the need to re-apply throughout the day...ever again
• The rose-scent of the body butter is very nice and lingers for a long time on the skin.Love it.
• Can be used anytime , any season , be it summer or winter.

Cons:

• Tub packaging allows easy product contamination.Always use a spatula to scoop out the cream from the tub.
• No SPF mentioned as such
• Not budget-friendly,but,it's The Body Shop.We are paying to get a good quality product...aren't we?

Overall,I really enjoy using this body butter.The rose-fragrance is very soothing and refreshing.The texture is smooth and product gets absorbed into the skin quickly.Makes skin feel soft and healthy.Takes care of the skin and cures skin-dryness very well.I highly recommend this body butter to people with normal to dry skin.I am very sure that you will love it too and enjoy it thoroughly.No wonder this is my current favourite body butter.Also,do check out all the products in the British Rose collection.The body scrub,shower gel, body mist are etc. fantastic and worth trying.

Have you tried this body butter? What's your favourite body butter? Do share

Rating : 4.5 /5

P.S. Recently I restocked this product and I had used this product in the past as well.Loved it to bits.That's why, I am here to share the product-details and my experience with you.

Review : Colorbar's Velvet Matte Lipstick,Shade# 12,Pure Innocence

Hi All!

Today I am going to share my thoughts on the Colorbar's (India)Velvet Matte Lipstick in the shade :12, Pure Innocence.

About Colorbar:
Colorbar is one of India’s leading beauty brands today. Positioned in the premium segment, we promise to make every woman feel beautiful with our best in class, innovative, international standard beauty products delivered in a uniquely Colorbar experience at our own stores as well as our partner outlets. Launched in 2005, today Colorbar is the fastest growing beauty brand with a strong geographical footprint through 65 exclusive stores, 900+ multi brand outlets and through partner chains – Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, New U, Pantaloons. In addition to our rapidly expanding footprint in India, Colorbar has also established itself in the Middle East with stores in Dubai.

Product Information:
For a rich lip color with a creamy shine, the Velvet Matte Lipstick, available in stunning shades infuse the lips with vibrancy. Its unique 2-in-1 formulation gives the lips a creamy, yet matte finish. A one of a kind product in India, it has super softening agents that give the lips a soft and supple appearance while keep them nourished with Vitamin E. Staying on up to 5 hours on application, the Velvet Matte Lipstick can be further accentuated with lip gloss and lip liner.

How to use?
Line the lips with a suitable lip liner. Press the bullet to the lips using even pressure to apply color on both upper and lower lips: To refresh and even out, press lips together.Using a lip brush gives a richer and more precise color application.

There are twenty five shades in the Velvet Matte Collection.Available on the www.colorbarcosmetics.com website.
I picked only one shade which is called Pure Innocence.
                                        

Price : INR 325

Quantity : 4.2 g

Shelf-life : Not mentioned anywhere on the website or the product-packaging

My Experience:
Shade:

12,Pure Innocence :  Oh my god!The moment I saw this shade I went cray cray.It's a brown shade with mauvy undertones.It's a beautiful shade and will suit medium skin-tones pretty well.On fair skin-tones,this might look like a very deep brown-shade.Yes,I love deep browns and this shade screamed my name ,I had to buy it :D

Swatch:
                                

In Pic : Swatch of the Velvet Matte Lipstick(Shade : Pure Innocence)

Packaging:
The lipstick comes in a steel tube with a pull-up ,transparent plastic lid/cap.The shade number,name ,weight are mentioned at the bottom of the lipstick-tube.The bottom of the tube is a transparent plastic through which the exact shade can be seen easily.So, in case we have more than one lipstick from the Velvet Matte collection it's easy to locate different shades in the vanity.The packaging looks very different than a regular lipstick-packaging.I love the way tube looks,it's sturdy and lid closes tightly enough to save the product from any mishaps.Sleek and travel-friendly packaging.
                                 

In Pic : Shade # 12 mentioned at the bottom of the lipstick-tube

Formula,Texture & Worthiness?

• The lipstick has a buttery-soft texture.It's so soft.The first time I used it,I was amazed at the smoothness of this lipstick
• It glides on really well on the lips without tugging or pulling
• It smells sweet.The scent is very mild and fades away as the time passes
• It's very pigmented and comfortable on the lips.One swipe and we are good to go.Nice colour -payoff at this price point
• The lipstick has a velvet-matte finish indeed and as the time passes it dries down further to a kind of matte finish.This might dry-out the lips to some extent
• It is not transfer-proof or smudge-proof.But,it really didn't transfer to the cups crazily.
• Initially, the lipstick doesn't sit into the lip-fine lines.But, as the time passes it starts enhancing the lip-lines!Not extremely though.
• Doesn't flake , feather or bleed.Please exfoliate your lips in advance.Apply lip balm underneath the lipstick,doing this will keep the lips moisturized and prevent lips from drying-out extremely.

Longevity:
Stays on the lips for about four hours (max).Survives light snacks. Doesn't survive oily food and goes away from the center of the lips like any other regular lipstick.

Con:
Nothing as such except that the lipstick stains the lips which might annoy some people.We definitely need a good makeup remover to remove the lipstick.

P.S. Yes,this lipstick leaves a stain behind which I don't really mind(personal opinion)

Overall,I love the formula of this lipstick.Pure Innocence is such a gorgeous shade.It can be worn anytime and everytime.Pigmentation of this lipstick is top notch.We are getting a lot of product for just INR 325.Budget-friendly lipstick! I highly recommend checking out the entire collection .In the Velvet matte collection,there are amazing shades ranging from bold browns to beautiful coral-pinks. You can use a lip liner to line out your lips and then fill in using the lipstick.This will ensure that the lipstick stays for a little longer than usual.Purchase this shade only if you are into wearing brown and bold lipstick-shades.

Will  I re-purchase?
Yes,it's totally worth re-purchasing.

Mini Haul : Karaja Makeup Products(Life Cosmetics),Italy

Hi All!

Hope you are doing great!

Today, I am going to share the details of a mini makeup haul.So,recently I had ordered few products online from www.lifestylestores.com. It's a great portal for online shopping.Be it cosmetics or home decors they have it all.I purchased few products which are from an Italian makeup brand called Karaja.Let's get started with the haul!

Review : Misslyn Lipsticks(Shades : Russet Maroon & Raspberry Sorbet)

Hi All!

Hope you are doing well.

The airy texture adheres to your lips like a second skin and can barely be felt. Give your lips that something extra with the matching lipstick for your makeup.

My Experience:

Shades:

• 101,Russet Maroon: As the name suggests,it's a flat out deep reddish-maroon shade.I love bold shades and that's why I picked this shade.I love it.It will really suit all the skin tones and can be worn during day time easily.

• 207,Raspberry Sorbet: This is a shade that every girl should have in her vanity!It's a true-raspberry pink shade with micro-shimmers.I love this shade and.The shimmers in it glamorize the look altogether.Awesome.Will suit all the skin tones,can be worn on a daily basis as it's a raspberry pink shade that is not loud-out there.

Swatches:

Packaging:
The lipsticks come in a black plastic tube.There is a colour coded sticker at the bottom of each lipstick.Also,the lipstick's shade number,name quantity shelf-life are mentioned on the tube-packaging.Classy,sleek,sturdy and travel-friendly.I like the packaging.
The tube is not heavy or bulky and hence can be thrown into the purse easily.The sturdy/firm packaging avoids the spillage of the product.No mess.

Formula/Texture/Worth:

• The lipsticks in the Satin-lipstick collection have a creamy texture and a true-satin finish
• The lipsticks are very light-weight,pigmented and comfortable 
• These glide on very smoothly onto the lips without tugging
• Melt like butter on the lips and lips look full and luscious
• Looks delicate and beautiful at the same time
• Abundant moisture thanks to coconut oil.The key ingredients like castor,coconut,sweet almond oils and shea butter extracts are really helpful in keeping the lips healthy in the long run
• Hyaluronic Acid - Moisturizes and hydrates the lips.
• Dermatologically tested for skin compatibility & suitable for sensitive skin.How cool is that!
• Doesn't sit into the lip-fine lines
• Not smudge-proof
• Not transfer-proof.As these are satin lipsticks these get transferred to the cutlery easily.
• Survives light meals easily.When it comes to heavy meals,it survives that too to some extent .After heavy meals the lipstick totally goes away from the center of the mouth ,re-application of the lipstick is a better option.
• Re-application is easy it doesn't look patchy on the lips.But,I highly suggest exfoliating the lips beforehand.
• Totally worth giving a try in my opinion!

Fragrance:
Sweet fragrance that's very mild and really not bothersome.

Longevity:

The lipstick lasts for about four hours(max) on the lips and fades away evenly(i.e. In case we don't eat anything heavy or greasy).

Con:

Nothing except the fact that in case a hair strand touches the lips(while the lipstick is on),it might smear the product.Gotta be careful!

Overall,after using all the liquid matte lipsticks it was really nice using these lipsticks.The buttery-soft formula keeps the lips moisturized and makes them look-luscious.These lipsticks are very pigmented and creamy...love!I highly recommend checking out Misslyn Lipsticks as there are awesome shades available out there.They have shades ranging from elegant nudes to bold purples.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes

Rating: 4/5
