Loreal Colour Rich Collection Exclusive Reds–Freida's Red

Hi Girls,

Happy Friday :) Today we are talking about this new exclusive red lipstick I picked up recently from Walgreens.

L'Oreal has come up with new Collection Exclusive Red Lipsticks, which are Limited edition of tailor made red lip color. Shades for every skin tone. There are 8 shades in this range inspired by celebrities. I got two of them as I think I have most of other colors in my collection. When I saw this display at drugstores, I had to get them for sure, as I love red lipsticks.

There are 8 shades:-

400 Doutzen's Red
401 Julianne Red
402 Blake Red
403 Eva Red
404 JLo Red
405 Frieds'a Red
406 Joey's Red
407 Liya's Red

This is one of the lipstick I picked up, Freida's Red. When I saw this color in the display I had to get it for sure, its was so different from other Red's, it is actually a pinky red not red. It is dark Fuchsia color, to be precise not pure red. But I really loved this, it reminds me of Relentlessly Red from Mac so much. I don't have that, so I am not sure if it is a dupe or similar. But it does look like that color. They normally range from $7 to $11 depending on where you buy it. I have heard from my friend she got from Wal-Mart for just $6 something. I got from Walgreens from downtown location so it costed me $9.90, which is very expensive for drugstore lipstick but I went through three Walgreens to get this color and had to buy it as soon I found it. There was no sale on these at that time.



Lets talk about packaging first, they have kind of velvety texture on the tube outside with gold packaging inside. This made it feel so luxurious , but if you think practical, this packaging gets dirty so much so quickly if you have anything on your hands with white cast, it will leave your tube white patchy which is not pretty at all. All the lipsticks have names mentioned on the outside packaging which makes it easier in storing the lipsticks. The cap is sturdy and will lock the lipstick well.



It is matte finish lipstick but not at all drying on the lips like few matte lipsticks, specially the new liquid matte lipsticks which I have been testing for some time, will be posting about them soon.
Its easy to glide on to the lips, and does not tug the lips. It has a light fragrance to it, goes away after wearing it. Its very flattering to all skin types, it is bold and beautiful color. Its very pigmented but you can build up more to get rich color. It does not feather off, but with these bold colors, its advised to use a lip liner always if you ware wearing for long time. Without lip liner it gave me around 4 -5 hours with eating and drinking. It had light stain, but it can be reapplied well too.



I would totally recommend this to my girl friends. This is gorgeous color for every day or for a special occasion.

Spring Favorites

This is the first time I decided to share my beauty favorites. I have been wanting to share these posts with you for along time, but I was not sure whether I should do monthly and seasonal favorites, so finally I decided to do this one to start with, what do you guys think?

I will try to post every month my favorite beauty products, hopefully I can keep up with it.

I am also going to do small mini reviews for them in these posts. These are just my opinion for these products, it can differ from all skin types.

Today I am going to share some of my Spring Favorites. When a new season begins to change your make-up routine is as important as re-arranging your closet for the new time. Independently of your skin type, the weather change affects all the beauty tools you use that maybe for winter were okay, but with the heat getting closer and the skin trying to moisturize by itself, new methods and products are needed.

One thing always happens with the change of warm weather is that make-up tends to soften a lot, while in winter a heavy foundation may stay intact, on spring-summer is hard to maintain, not to mention unnatural.

1. This season is where I use the most is BB/CC Creams, and if you want more coverage you can always mix 50/50 with your usual foundation. I use this L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder which is medium coverage foundation, but its perfect for spring and summer season. I am in shade Classic Ivory. I think they are discontinuing this line, its such an amazing foundation, If you find it better grab it now. I already have two backups.

   

2. I use this WetnWild Coloricon Bronzer in Reserve your Cabana as over all setting/ face powder. I know it’s a bronzer but I use it as face powder because its perfect shade for my skin tone. It has SPF 15 for  protection which is a great deal two in one product.

3. Pixi Color Corrector Concealer in Brightening peach. It’s a salmon peach color corrector which diminishes my purple/blue tone under eyes.

4. Milani Baked Blush in Delizioso Pink. It’s a perfect blue based pink matte bush without any shimmer. It has great pigmentation, is not powdery, and has a silky application with nice coverage. This is such a gorgeous blush. It looks really bright in the pan, but you can apply it lightly and it gives your skin a beautiful, natural glow. I have cool toned skin and this complements it so well. This looks so natural and really brightens up your face. Great staying power too.

   

5. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips All-in-One Custom Palette for Face & Eyes in Natural Nude. I love using it as a highlighter on my cheeks and on my eyelid and inner corner. I also some of the shimmer shadows as overall eyelid color. Its such a great multipurpose product.  

6. Rimmel Gel Eyeliner and Kate Moss Green Eye shadow stick in Green These are such long wearing eyeliners. This black eyeliner is my holy grail gel eyeliner. Its such a great easy wear liner. In Spring season I wear a lot of colorful liners too, this season have been using green color. I have been using green liner as lid color or tight line or lower lid.

7. Essence I love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara. I really love this mascara. It gives great volume, length, and darkness. Clumps a little bit but not bad at all, the brush is good. I use it everyday and would definitely buy it again.

 

8. Epille Green Tea Cleanisng Tissues, These are amazing. They work really well and they're so cheap. They leave my face feeling so soft, and it removes all the oils, dirt, and makeup. It's also so amazing because  $1 for 30 wipes and $2 for 60 wipes, rather then having wipes around 5-7 dollars that don't even work. Plus it works for all skin types,it cannot beat that. I love that they come in variety of choices from cucumber, aloe, green tea, and others. I would totally buy these again.

9. Sexiest Fantasies body mist in Fireworks , its such a perfect body mist for spring season. Its pretty sensual odor. Its just $8 at CVS.

 

10. Lipsticks:- This spring season I have got some new lipsticks in my stash and have been using them every day.

a. Jordana Matte it Girl

b. Milani Matte Passion

c. Milani Rose Hip

d. Milani Pretty Natural

e. Black Radiance Hibiscus

f. Maybelline Color Elixir in Rose Redefined

11. Nail polishes In spring season I start using all bright orange , pink colors. This season I have mostly used these a lot. I have already posted a Manicure before using the lavender nail polish from Poparazi and glitter.

Forever 21 in purple Clear, WetnWild Blazed Poparazzi in Lovely in Liliac, Essie 1095, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Big Teal 325 , Essence Ultimate Pink , NYC Grand Central clear coat and Poparazi Cuticle Oil

  

12. Jergens BB Protect and BB Body, in spring don’t need any heavy sunscreen coats, just a sheer protections is good enough. I use this Jergens BB Protect cream which has SPF 15 which is good for over all body. It has sheer color like bb cream but does not change your skin color by any means. It smells really nice. I have already reviewed this on my blog, click here for detailed review.

13. Carmex Vanilla lip balm with spf 15, you always have to protect the lips also from sun. This is a perfect lip balm for spring, as it has sheer vanilla flavor.

Have any beauty suggestions for me or products you’ve loved this spring? Share in the comments below…

Thanks for reading!

Day 7 - Review and Swatches Loreal Project Runway Colour Riche–Sultry Raven’s Pout 785

Hi Girls,

Welcome to Seventh Day of Nude Lipstick collection. As promised I will pick one Nude Lipstick for Fair to Medium or Tanned skin tones girls from my lipstick collection.

Today post is about Loreal Project Runway Colour Riche–Sultry Raven’s Pout 785 got for $7 from CVS
This is not one of my favorite, as you can see I don’t use this so much. I usually mix this lipstick with dark colors if I want to to have another shade. This is brown nude color. I am sorry, but this is also a discontinued color, but I am sure you can find a color like this in drugstore. It has a strong scent which goes away after a long time, sometimes it bothers me so much, that I just remove this lipstick. It is perfect shade for Smokey look, you can top with a gloss and you will get your desired look. This is very much wearable shade for work. It is very moisturizing. It does not last for that long, but does not dry your lips. This will not look good, if your skin tone is darker than me.

 Enjoy the swatches:- In the last photo if you notice, I used a pink gloss over it.
Cheers Chitra

Loreal Colour Caresse - Colour Riche collection in Violet Chiffon 175

Hi, how are you beautiful women out there
Today I am reviewing a very pretty color from Colour Caresse -Loreal ColourRiche called Violet Chiffon.
As the name suggests it is a very beautiful violet color, perfect radiant orchid color, which is the color of the year 2014. But it is not very purple color, it has violet color with slight pink undertones to it. It claims to deliver a feather-light finish without being sticky or heavy. 100% color. 0% compromise.

My Review:-

• First of all, we should talk about this packaging, It is so luxurious, the golden color attracts me. Its very classy but also sturdy looking and its very travel friendly as it closes in that magnetic socket, so it will not open on its own.
• The product, is very pretty lavender shade, quite buildable. It comes on very sheer, but you can use more than one swipe and build it to get your desired shade. The pigmentation is not that great, but I am not sure it is only this shade or other colors from this lien are same.
• It smells ok not that great or strong also.
• It is very light on your lips. Glides on easily and does not feel sticky or heavy at all, but its gives quite shiny look.
• It does not last more than 3 hours, will not survive heavy eating at all. Its does not stain your lips. It does not bleed.
• I will totally recommend this color, if you can still get in your drugstore, grab them. I think they got another line, and this one is discontinued. Its perfect for spring and summer and also for fall. You can wear this at your work daily.

Swatches:-

It was originally for 11$ but I picked up this from CVS 50% clearance sale for around $5 and change.
Just two light swipes.
