Review : Lipsticks By Prestige Cosmetics

Hi All,

Today I am going to review two lipsticks by Prestige Cosmetics.These lipsticks are from two different collections by Prestige Cosmetics namely classic & luminous lipstick-collections.

About Prestige Cosmetics:

Thanks to the high quality ingredients, selected with great attention and care, Prestige products adapt to every woman need with a wide range of fashion shades, feeling beautiful and comfortable all day long in every occasion!

Prestige is used and appreciated by the best international make-up artists: thanks to its long lasting and waterproof products, no touch ups during the day… even under hot reflectors!

Product-Information:


1.Classic lipstick collection

Prestige Classic Lipstick offers intense color depth in a lightweight, creamy formula. Comfortable, long wearing shades with moisturizing ingredients keep lips soft and smooth. 
There are 20+ shades in this range.

Price : AED 55
Net Wt : 0.15 oz e 4.2g 

2.Luminous lipstick collection:
Innovative lipstick, highly sensorial and comfortable, with spherical powders for an extremely smooth and easy application.
  • The new formula contains latest generation ingredients for a comfortable and velvety texture. With argan oil, rich of linoleic acid, helps nourishing into the deep and preventing skin-aging thanks to the precious vitamins E, A and F.
  • Shea Butter gives elasticity and helps protecting lips from the external aggressive actions.
  • Paraben free
  • Pure and bright finish
  • The different 8 nuance perfectly mirror the actual trend: you can realize NUDE look, fresh and natural, or give a touch of shiny RED on your lips for your special occasions.
                                             
In Pic : 06,Risque,Classic Collection & 06,Venus,Luminous Collection
Price : AED 55 /(EURO 9,90)
Net Wt : 0.15 oz e 4.2g 

How to apply:

  • Before to apply the lipstick it is a good habit to prepare your lips: in fact, if they are smooth it will be more easy to apply the lipstick with long lasting results! Once a week it is useful to do a soft-exfoliative massage with a specific peeling.
  • Apply a lip pencil to define the outline and blend it with a small brush, this will ensure a perfect make-up base.
  • For a perfect application: on the lower lip apply from the corners towards the center, on the superior lip apply from the center towards the outside.

My Experience:
Shades:
  • Risque : Bright fuschia pink.Pink with purple undertones will suit all the skin tones
  • Venus: Reddish-orange that is a really bright but,wearable shade.Bold lipstick shade.I love it.
Swatches:
                                          

Packaging:
  • The lipsticks in the Classic lipstick collection have a very different packaging than any other lipstick.The outer-body looks like silver steel
  • The lipsticks lid id of silver colour too
  • The shade name,number,shelf-life are mentioned on the lipstick-tube
  • There is a colour coded stick at the bottom of the tube that matches the lipstick-shade
  • Also,shade number is mentioned on the colour-coded stick
  • This comes in very handy while checking out the shades if we have more than one lipstick from this collection
  • Classy,sturdy & travel-friendly packaging

Formula & Texture of both the lipsticks:
  • Both the lipsticks are very similar texture-wise.I like the formula.
  • These lipsticks are creamy and very pigmented
  • Velvety or satin-finish lipsticks
  • Very opaque.In one single swipe we get full colour-payoff
  • lips look full and luscious
  • light-weight formula
  • long-lasting
  • very comfortable
  • No dryness was experienced
  • Didn't flake or feather but might bleed
  • Very surprisingly these lipsticks did not sit-into the fine-lip lines
  • Also,these lipsticks did not enhance and patches on the lips
  • Stains the lips
  • Not transferproof
  • Not smudge-proof
  • Paraben-free
  • Luminous Lipstick range : lipsticks in this range have vitamine A,E,F which are very helpful in keeping lips healthy.With argan oil, rich of linoleic acid, helps in nourishing the lips
Fragrance:
Strong fruity-chemical fragrance that fades away a little as the time passes

Longevity:
These lipsticks last throughout the day and survive light & heavy meals.Stay for about 5-6 hours(max) on the lips.

Cons:
  • Both the lipsticks have a strong fruity-chemical smell that might bother people with sensitive nose
  • Layering up the lipstick makes it look streaky/patchy,try to avoid layering
  • Transfers to cutlery etc.
Will I re-purchase?
Yes,because the lipsticks in both the ranges are very pigmented and long lasting.Also,there is a huge variety of shades to choose from.I love the shades available in both the collections.
I don't find the fragrance over-whelming and it's fine with me.Also, I love the pigmentation of these lipsticks.Will purchase other shades from these ranges.I highly recommend these lipsticks if you are looking for lipsticks that are affordable,paraben-free and rich in vitamins.

Note :Ingredients are not mentioned anywhere on the packaging.

Availability:
In UAE,available in Lifestyle Gulf and Centrepoint stores

Ingredients :
                                     

My Experience :

Packaging:
  • The body moisturizer comes in a transparent plastic bottle that has a black cap
  • The lid of the bottle is a flip-open lid that has a nozzle 
  • Nozzle-size is appropriate for the product to get dispensed
  • You need to squeeze the bottle really hard to get the product out
  • I like the packaging,it's very sturdy & travel-friendly
  • All the ingredients are clearly mentioned on the packaging
  • The shelf-life,directions etc are mentioned as well on the packaging...nice!
                                     
Formula & Texture :
  • The product looks like a baby-pink-coloured cream in the bottle,but,in reality it looks more of a white-coloured cream with pink hues...no issues
  • The product is made up of all herbal-ingredients which is really cool
  • This moisturizer is made up of awesome ingredients like shea butter , kokum butter, beeswax,aloevera extract,olive oil,jojoba oil,rose extract,honey and the list goes on.These elements are meant to keep the skin smooth and moisturized

Fragrance:
Yes, the product has a strong rosy-fragrance(roses) and it smells divine.I love the scent of this moisturizer.The scent lingers for some time and then fades away as the time passes.

Effective?
Yes
  • My skin type is normal to dry.The moisturizer instantly moisturizes the skin
  • The moisturizer gets absorbed into the skin easily
  • But,I would suggest to use less amount of the product at first and if required then re-apply...less is more you see
  • If we squeeze-out a lot of product at a time then we need to rub it very nicely to get that absorbed(seamlessly) into the skin 
  • Post product-application,there is no cast left by the product which is really nice
  • The moisturizer makes the skin soft and glowy...thanks to it's key ingredients : shea butter,kokum butter,honey etc.
  • Also,this product is made up of all the good ingredients that are required to keep the dry skin moisturized and healthy...awesome:)
  • The effect of the product stays for long and skin feels moisturized throughout the day
Overall,I like the Khadi Natural's Herbal Moisturizer in the Rose & Honey variant.

Con:

  • Just a little greasy as per my liking.
  • The scent of the body-moisturizer might be over-whelming to people with very sensitive nose
  • The bottle needs to be squeezed-out really hard to get the product

Will I re-purchase?
  • Yes,because it moisturizes my skin well & it's paraben-free.
  • I recommend this to people with dry/very dry skin and also,to all those who are looking for a budget-friendly and paraben-free body-moisturizer...do give it a try
  • This product can be used in any season depending on skin-needs
