My Experience:

Shades:Purchased three shades,Ruffle Trim,Exotic & Teddy

Ruffle Trim : True peach shade.Suitable for all skin tones.I like to line my lips with a dark lip-liner and then apply this lipstick.

Exotic : Muted dusty rose pink shade.Really very pretty shade.Can definitely be used on a daily basis as it gives a feeling of My Lips But Better.

Teddy : It's a true brown shade,however it's not a deep vamy brown and can be worn easily,if at all it's a cup of your tea.Personally,I love dark shades and I love Brown lippies.Hence,I picked this one up.
It's a beautiful shade.Suitable for all skin tones.If you don't like wearing such sort of shades then you can mute it down by using a more neutral colour like ruffle trim or so.


Swatches:
                                 

                                

Packaging :

• Nice packaging.Sturdy and travel-friendly
• Clear acrylic packaging ensures that we can see the shade.
• Black colored lid with glossy finish.The lid closes tightly and product leakage was never experienced
• The flat-foot applicator helps in lining out the lips perfectly and product can be easily applied
• Labels shade details ,weight and product-expiry etc are mentioned on the tube itself.That's great!

Formula & Texture:

• Soft to touch,not gritty
• Moussy-texture,not runny liquid formula
• After applying the lipstick it dries down to a complete matte finish
• Pigmented enough to cover up the pigmented lips,gotta swipe twice/thrice at least to get the full opacity.
• Doesn't stain the lips for sure                                  

Fragrance: Chemically-scented.Fragrance which fades away with time.Not bothersome.

Longevity: Lasted on the lips for 4-5 (had meals in between).If greasy food item will be avoided,It will last for 8 hours.However,in my case,lips felt dehydrated and undernourished....and let's be real we cannot leave eating Burger and French fries...hehehe.
Re-application is easy tough as there will be no product as such on the lips after eating greasy food,so,apply a generous amount of lip balm and top it off with the lipstick.

Pro:
Shades are to die for as these sort of shades can be used on a daily basis.Pretty shades indeed!

Con: Not that long lasting and definitely lips will feel parched at the end of the day due to the formulation.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,wanna try out this lipstick in the shade Cabaret Show.

Have you tried out these lipsticks? Do share your thoughts,would love to know.

Yes,I love it so much.It's an amazing shade that can be worn on a daily basis.Very impressed.It looks dark in the tube , but , when applied on the lips it looks muted brown-red kind of shade.Perfect.Love it. Do check this shade out girls!

I highly recommend this lipstick and do check out Velvet Touch Matt lipstick-collection

Review : GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Black Spiral Volume XXL

Hi Beauties!

Hope you are doing great!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Spiral Volume XXL.Shade name : Carbon Black.

About GOSH Copenhagen:
GOSH COPENHAGEN is a young and innovative cosmetics, bath & body and fragrance company based in Denmark. Founded in 1945 as a pharmaceutical company, GOSH COPENHAGEN quickly moved into the cosmetics industry. GOSH COPENHAGEN products are currently sold in more than 75 countries throughout the world.

All product development, production and distribution take place from our head office in Denmark, as we see no better way than overseeing all the steps ourselves. This way we ensure all products under the GOSH COPENHAGEN brand embody our identity and values.

Product Description:

Boombastic Swirl Mascara gives lashes XXL volume and spectacular length. XXL Swirl up volume and spectacular length and a giant swirled rubber brush are the keywords of the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara. The formula of the Boombastic Swirl mascara is full-bodied, creamy and really spreadable. It blackens and thickens the lashes without making them look clumpy or spidery. The added Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract gives lashes a boost whilst a synergy of waxes and olive oil adds nourishing properties to the formula.

The vibrant green container reflects the infused bamboo extract while the artwork brings the swirled brush to mind with the discreet swirled O in Boombastic. The present Boombastic mascara is one of the bestselling mascaras within the GOSH Cosmetics mascara assort­ment and with the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara now added to the Boombastic mascara range, anyone can find a Boombastic mascara for every look and mood.

The brush:
A giant swirled rubber brush with bristles at the tip grabbing even the tiniest lashes for application. The unique spiral shaped combination of bristles and discs creates spectacular volume and length.
• XXL Volume
• Spectacular length
• Giant swirled rubber brush
• Bristels at the tip allows even more precise application
• Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract improves lashes volume and vitality and makes them stronger, nourished and moisturised

Price : AED 80

Quantity : 13 ml /  0.4 fl oz US

Shelf-life : 6 months

Source : https://www.superdrug.com/Make-Up/Eye-Makeup/Mascara/Gosh-Boombastic-Swirl-Mascara-13ml-Black-001/p/499204

My Experience:

Packaging:
The first thing that attracted me towards this product was the packaging indeed.The vibrant neon-green coloured bottle looked amazing and appealing.The details like quantity,shelf-life and shade name are mentioned on the packaging itself.The twist open cap is easy to remove.The mascara-applicator is very different and swirly unlike any other normal looking mascara.Interesting. Sturdy and travel-friendly packaging.Easy to carry in your handbag.

                               

In Pic : Shown GOSH's Boombastic Swirl Mascara Black Spiral Volumn XXL

Formula & Texture:
The formula is neither very wet nor dry,it's just somewhere in between and perfect.It's well balanced.
It dries quickly.The moussy-textured mascara is nicely pigmented and easy to work with.
Need to apply a coat and then wait for it to dry.Then re-apply the product on the lashes.This ensures that we get that desired length.

Effective?
Yes.Kind of.

• Firstly, the formula is so nice that it becomes very easy to play with the mascara.
• The wand is long and the swirly-bristles help in coating each and every eye-lash.
• The bristles at the front of the applicator helps in reaching out the lashes around the inner corner.Be careful and do not poke your eyes.
• Applying two to three coats of the mascara helps in getting lengthened lashes.
• In order to get volume, we need to apply the mascara for about three to four times.
• It holds the curled lashes very well.
• Smudge-proof : Didn't smudge a bit and stayed put whole day.
• Didn't flake at all.Avoid layering a lot of product,else, It will certainly flake.
• Key Ingredients : Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract improves lashes - volume and vitality and makes them stronger.Argan Oil helps in strengthening the hairs in the long run and bamboo extract keeps the lashes moisturized.How cool is that! Makeup that has skincare-ingredients.Amazing.
• It's water resistant to a great extent.Not really waterproof as such.Not that easy to remove using lukewarm water.Need to use a good makeup remover.

                                   

                                                            In Pic : Shown mascara-wand

Con:

• The actual applicator is very huge and it becomes very difficult to push into the bottle at times.Be patient.
• Messy application due to the huge applicator
• Need to keep layering to get desired volume and hence the product starts clumping on the lashes
• Gives no volume to the lashes
• Some people might find this mascara pricy

Will I re-purchase?
No, as I wanna try other mascaras from the same brand. I had tried Crazy Volume mascara earlier and liked it.
But, I recommend Boombastic Swirl mascara to people who are looking for a decent mascara that gives average length to their lashes.It separates the lashes beautifully.Holds up the curls well.

Rating: 3.5/5

In UAE,Lifestyle , Centrepoint stores.

Review : Kiko's Active Fluo Neon Lipstick(Shade# 02,Powerful Fuchsia)

Hi All!

Hope you are doing great!

Recently, Kiko Milano(Italy) had launched their Active Fluo Capsule collection designed by the famous fashion designer Arthur Arbesser.The Active Fluo collection is all about neon shades and hence the name.There are three lipsticks in this collection apart from other products.I picked the shade 02,Powerful Fuchsia out of the three shades available.I love wearing bright lipsticks during hot summers and that's why I picked this one.

About the #ActiveFluo collection by Kiko:
"

 Neon effect make-up with pop colours. A fun, high-performance make-up. Energy, dynamism and irony.

Introducing Active Fluo, the third KIKO MILANO capsule collection, created by fashion designer Arthur Arbesser. The designer has created a unique collection that combines bold graphic motifs, patterns and colours with clean, minimalist shapes.

The make-up is vibrant and the fluo colours brimming with energy, for looks that steal the show. The passion, energy and technical performance inherent in sports are revived in specific products designed to maximize make-up hold. Comfort is at all times a must.

In addition to designing the Active Fluo product packaging, Arthur Arbesser has also designed a playful, summery pochette and a handy smartphone holder to take with you while playing sports.

My Experience:
Shade:
02, Powerful Fuchsia  : It's a very neonish,true fuchsia shade(pink with slight purple-undertones) that will brighten a dull face.It will suit all the skin tones well.It's a very bright shade ,perfect for summers.If you are looking for a bright and bold shade then your search end here.It's a gorgeous and wearable shade which can be worn anytime...I must say!:)

Swatch:
                                           

Packaging:
Oh my God! I got attracted to this lipstick mainly because of it's packaging.The outer packaging is so cool,It's made up of translucent material on which all the details like product-ingredients,quantity,shelf-life are mentioned clearly.I love the neon pink and green strips all across the outer packaging.Lovely!
The lipstick comes in a pink coloured plastic tube.The tube has a twist open lid which is of pink colour as well.The packaging is very chic and modern.Also,it's sleek,sturdy and travel-friendly.The shade number is mentioned at the bottom of the lipstick.

Formula & Texture:

• The lipstick has a creamy-waxy texture.Very much comparable to the texture of the L.A. Color lipsticks
• The lipstick glides on smoothly like a dream without tugging onto the lips
• If you press your lips,you can feel the waxy-texture of the lipstick in between your lips
• The lipstick has a velvet-matte or a semi-matte finish
• Two swipes of the lipsticks are required to get full opacity.The product is decently pigmented
• People with pigmented lips , might need to build up the colour by swiping more than two times
• Lightweight formula.I like it.
• Very comfortable on the lips.Comfortable velvet-matte lipstick.
• Not transfer-proof.Transfers to the cutlery to some extent,not crazily.
• Not Smudge-proof
• Doesn't bleed or feather from the lips.                                                 

In Pic : Active Fluo Neon Lipstick in the shade 02

Fragrance:
Very mild sweet floral scent that's really not overwhelming.

Longevity:
It stayed on the lips for close to four hours.I am impressed.It survived light snacks and later on faded evenly from the lips.It stained the lips.
Doesn't survive heavy meal(s) at all like any other normal bullet lipstick.It goes off completely from the center of the lips.Re-application of the lipstick is easy, it glides on smoothly and sets to a velvet-matte finish.

Con:
Note to people with dry and dehydrated lips:The only downside of this lipstick is that  it dries out the lips to some extent as the time passes.This enhances the dry-lip-patches on the lips(if any).Also,it enhances fine lip-lines.


Overall,I like this lipstick.Love it's buttery-soft texture.Exfoliate your lips well in advance prior to applying this lipstick.This will ensure a smooth application and as the lipstick dries and settles down,it will not enhance any dry patches on the lips as the time passes.Also,you can apply a lip balm underneath for keeping the lips moisturized throughout the day.

Having said that,I would say that you should check out the #ActiveFluo collection and specially this lipstick.This shade is to die for.The lipstick is non-comedogenic ,it means that it won't cause any skin-irritations/ pore-blockage etc. highly recommend this shade if you love using bright lipsticks during summers.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes

Rating : 3.5/5

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:

(L to R) 101,Russet Maroon & 207,Raspberry Sorbet

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
