L.A Colors Pout Matte Lip Gloss Sweet Lips Review 3

Today I am here with to review a lip gloss from a new international brand which has just been launched in India and I am talking about the L.A COLORS POUT MATTE LIPGLOSS. I just wanted to try something new and still being on a budget (pros of being a college student). So I surfed the internet for some swatches and decided to try this particular shade “SWEET LIPS”.  Read on to know more about it in detail.

Basic Info about L.A Colors Pout Matte Lip Gloss Sweet Lips

L.A. Colors Pout matte lip glosses are every gloss lover’s dream. The long-wearing matte formula goes on like a traditional gloss and dries to a long lasting, wearable matte finish. These creamy and highly pigmented lip glosses are extremely comfortable to wear, non-drying and apply beautifully matte!

  • Long wearing creamy matte finish
  • Non-drying formula
  • Available in stunning shades

L.A Colors Pout Matte Lip Gloss Sweet Lips Review

My Experience With The L.A Colors Pout Matte Lip Gloss Sweet Lips:

Starting with packaging these come in very cute little short tubes which make them very travel-friendly. The top of the tube is black and the bottom is transparent so you can easily make out the shade from your lipstick stash. It has the same old doe foot applicator but a shorter version of that which I think is good as it helps in precise application of the product.

Now heading over to the pigmentation, these are insanely pigmented like just one layer is enough to give you opaque finish.  The shade sweet lips is a dark magenta kinda plumish color but because of being so highly pigmented these tend to end up looking streaky and uneven on the lips. These are a bit patchy too.

Texture wise these have a creamy mousse like texture. When applied they look glossy but they dry down completely matte. Once dry these do not transfer at all and taking them off is a pain, I have to use baby oil to take these off my lips. Even though the shade is so pretty plum shade, these are so horrible that I just can’t work with them at all.

The staying power of these are very good, they stay for about 4 to 5 hours on your lips after which they tend to fade away from the center of your lips so touch-ups are needed.

To sum up I do not like these even a little bit as using this is like putting my lips through hell. Buying this was money down the drain for me.

Overall Performance of L.A Colors Pout Matte Lip Gloss Sweet Lips

PROS:

  • Cute, travel-friendly packaging
  • Affordable
  • Insanely pigmented
  • Good staying power
  • Very pretty shade collection

CONS:

  • Patchy on the lips
  • Dries out the lips
  • Removing these is a pain

Recommendation?

No, I don’t recommend using these and I have tried one shade and I am damn sure I don’t want to try anymore.

Hi my beauties,

Today I am going to review the clean & clear pimple clearing face wash for guys. Pimples are a girl’s worst nightmare coming true and every day you try to do every possible thing to avoid seeing that little zit your face. Earlier I used to use the Himalaya neem face wash but was working pretty well for me but I wanted to try something new so I bought this. You can see the review of foaming face wash, berry face wash, and daily scrub too!Read on to know more about it.

My Experience With Clean and Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash

The face wash comes in a cute green squeeze tube with the directions & ingredients mentioned at the back of it. The tube is sturdy so it is to carry it around. The product has a very nice but mild neem smell to it which does not linger on the face for more than 2 minutes after washing it. It has a gel type of consistency which doesn’t lather up really well but a small amount is enough to wash the whole face.

Just after the first attempt I could feel that my skin was more clear and fresh but after some time my skin started feeling stretchy (thanks to combination skin issues) but I am sure that all the oily skin beauties are going to love it as it does leave the face looking oil-free and clean. I don’t think that it will work for acne-prone skin but it does help in avoiding pimples on my skin by keeping it oil and dirt free.

PROS:

  • Affordable
  • Travel friendly
  • Suits all skin types
  • Leaves the skin looking fresh and oil-free

Will I Recommend Or Repurchase It?

I think it is a good everyday option to keep the face oil free and fresh looking in this hot weather, so I will totally recommend it and repurchase it for myself.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer Review 3

My Experience with Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

When these concealers were launched, there was a lot of hype about them. These are considered to be the dupes of the NARS RADIANT CREAMY concealers, which made them more appealing to buy for me.

These concealers come in a slim rectangular tube (just like the Nars creamy ones). It has a regular wand with sponge doe applicator which picks up the right amount of products every time. The tube is transparent which makes it easy to identify the shade & the shades are also mentioned on the bottom as well. Now coming to the texture of the concealer, it is very creamy, neither thick nor runny. You just apply it with the wand & blend it away with your fingers or your brush (whatever suits you). It provides full coverage hiding all types of marks or dark circles. I have mine in shade sand 20 which suits me perfectly.

It does not look cakey or creases under the eyes & does not settle into fine lines. The lasting power of these concealers is excellent; they last up to good 5 to 6 hours under the eyes after which they need to be set with powder.

The only problem is that it is only available in three shades in India.

L A Girl HD Pro BB Cream Review 3

L A Girl HD Pro BB Cream Review

by Navdita Rathore

Hi my beauties,

How are you guys?

I am a person who has to go out every day of the week either for college on weekdays or to meet and hangout with friends on the weekends and I personally don’t like to use foundation everyday on my face. So I rely on BB creams for my daily makeup routine.  This time I am here with the review of the L.A girl HD PRO bb cream.

No

My Experience with L A Girl HD Pro BB Cream

L A Girl HD Pro BB Cream Review 3

 

The L.A. HD PRO BB Cream comes in a little black tube, simple and handy packaging with all ingredients & shell life mentioned on the back of it. It comes in 8 different shades to suit every skin tone. The nozzle of the tubes dispenses a sincere amount of product every time I squeeze it.

All I do is prep my skin and take it on my fingers and just blend it away on my face. I have to say that it blends like a dream and it also provides a decent amount of coverage too. I sometimes build it up if I want any extra coverage and it does not make my face look cakey at all. It does not feel moisturising to me because of the fact that I have dry skin but oily skin beauties can totally skip the moisturiser while using it. All I had to do was to be a bit careful about the amount I use in one go, too much can make the face look chalky. Coming to the staying power of it, I will stay that it stays on me for 5 to 6 hours in the winters but I think in summer it might stay for a few hours less.  I’ve been using it for my daily makeup for the past two months and so far I’d say it is nice , more than average BB cream(definitely in my fav ones).

PROS:

  • Affordable
  • Blends like a dream
  • Travel friendly
  • Even outs the skin
  • Does not makes the face look cakey
  • Easily available online

CONS:

  • Be a bit careful about the amount of product you use in one go, might makes you look chalky if used too much.
  • Not that moisturising for dry skin.

Would I recommend/repurchase it?

Yes I will recommend it to those who want a decent coverage but doesn’t want the skin to feel heavy. For repurchasing it, I will say no as I would like to try out other BB or CC creams.
