Ulta Extreme Gel Eyeliner in "Ink"

Happy Friday Girls:)

Today I am going to talk about Gel Eyeliner from Ulta called "INK"

Review :-

Recently I got this eyeliner from Ulta. It was on clearance at $2, but it was marked down from 8$. Which I think is overpriced for this gel liner.

It is 3g / 0.11 oz. This color is called “ INK”. It is cobalt blue color.

It is very soft in texture, as for gel liner texture. Normally I have used gel liner which are little thick and buttery in texture. Due to this thin and soft texture, it is hard to apply gel liner on your eyes. Let it dry for two seconds and then reapply on the same line. It will give more color. It gets on lashes also while applying but dries pretty quickly if you want to use two coats.

As you see below, I have literally digged in to get some color on my brushes. I got this color as blue is my favorite color. There were three more colors I saw one was deep purple, brown and black.

You can use eyeliner brushes like these two seen below. Both brushes are good in applying gel liner. They are really easy to use.

I have used Elf Angled Eyeliner Brush in first picture of swatches below  (with glasses). I have used Real Technique's fine liner brush in my second picture.

Swatches on Eyes:-

I do wear glasses, so I just wanted to show you my picture in glasses, so that girls who wear glasses can get an idea how it will look in glasses. This is very good makeup for glasses.

Overall I was not impressed with this gel eyeliner. Also the original price for this as 8$ is overpriced for this quality of eyeliner. You could try other cheap eyeliners in market. It was hard to remove it, always use oil base eye makeup remover for these.

Chitra Pal Essence Stay Matt Silky Red 04 (2)

My two recent posts are other shades in this line (01 and 02), please have a look. For just $2.99 a great matte/satin lipstick for matt lipstick sucker/ addicts. I got these from HEB Stores in Austin, I am not sure if they have these store anywhere, but you can also find them in ULTA or online on Essence website, I think some of my friend told me its available in Canada also.. You can get them from Germany otherwise, if you have any friends there Smile

  1. Review and Swatches for 01 Velvet Rose 
  2. Swatches for Essence Stay Matt lip cream in Smooth Berry 02

Review:

  1. It has a doe foot applicator, which makes it easier to work with. Don’t get too too much product on the applicator, otherwise you tend to bleed from the lips.
  2. It has a nice vanilla toffee like smell.
  3. The packaging is not that great but gives true color.
  4. The consistency is definitely very creamy, it feels very smooth on the lips.
  5. It did not dry on my lips, I always use lip balm underneath, so may it helped.
  6. Long lasting around four hours.Smooth Berry in same line does stain, but this one does not.
  7. I personally think the Essence Stay Matt lip creams are great.  If you can get your hands on them, definitely check them out.

Swatches: Enjoy the Swatches girls:-

Review and Swatches for Essence Cosmetics - Stay Matt lip cream - in 01 Velvet Rose


I got this lipstick from Ulta long back 4 months ago, but somehow I lost in my drawer and when I found it, I decided to swatch and post it for you. It was $2.99 in Ulta and I think this is the price for this matt lipstick in other stores also. I am sucker for matt lipsticks, so I keep on searching new matt everywhere. They come in 3 more shades, 02 Smooth Berry, 03 Soft Nude, and 04 silky red .
I have 3 , will be posting the swatches for other 2 soon. They are very similar for NYX Soft Matt Lip cream which I didn’t find great, but I love these, they are cheap and better quality then NYX ones. I would totally recommend these over NYX.

Chitra Pal NYX Matte Alabama  (4) Chitra Pal NYX Matte Alabama  (1)
As you all know by know I am big fan of matte lipsticks, I always want to buy some red color and if it is matte its the best deal for me. So I have heard a lot about this #NYX Matte Lipstick ranges. I decided to pick the famous one, which is Red called #Alabama #MLS07 which is amazing blue-based dark red.
This is clearly a matte shade, and very pretty red color. This is something you can wear to transform normal work day to date night or girls night out or just for normal office party.Gorgeous red matte color, incredibly pigmented. These lipsticks are wonderful and inexpensive around $6.50 in CVS depending on location.It apply evenly on your lips and are long-lasting. Alabama is a vibrant dark red lasted 5-6 hours with minimal touch-up after eating. Would totally recommend this color to everybody, one red everybody should own.
Here are swatches for you:-

NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream

 

Hi Girls,

Recently you saw I posted small haul drugstore haul photo on my Instagram. I got two NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa and Milan. They were buy one get 50% off in CVS during that week, it was for $6.29 and the other one was for $3.14 I did not have any NYX in my collection and I have heard a lot about these, so I decided to get two mates, as I love matte lipsticks. I used them both one by one during my work days. Below is my review and swatches for both. I also listed some similar shades I have in my collection. I am not claiming as exact dupes, but they are similar shades. You can choose the similar shades if you don’t have these NYX Matte cream.

Review for NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

  1. They cost around $6.50 depending upon location you are buying. For drugstore lipsticks they are of similar price with Maybelline, Revlon and Loreal.
  2. They are very light weight matte cream lipsticks and smells like vanilla.
  3. The doe foot applicator isn't hygienically ideal, but makes for simple and great for on the go application. 
  4. The texture is a velvety cream with an apparent silicone feel that disappears when dry.
  5. It's important to exfoliate and moisturize lips before application otherwise it will settle in your fine lines or cracks.
  6. There are very pretty colors available in whole line suiting all skin tones.
  7. They are around 0.27fl oz. 8ml in size, good for having them in your collection.
  8. They are very convenient containers to carry them in your purse or on your vanity.
  9. The containers are very true to color very well pigmented.
  10. They are kind of even application, you have to swipe at least twice for getting them evenly distributed on your lips.
  11. They don’t last for long, you may have to touch even after coffee or water.
  12. It does not stain, but completely wears off if you eat or drink.

They are not at all long lasting. I will not recommend to my friend if you already have mattes in your collection, you can pass it on this line. I didn’t really care for them, I think Revlon matte lip crayons are also similar to this range or you can always choose wet n wild mega last lipsticks which are pure matte’s but little dry.

Similar Color alert :- “Don’t Blink Pink” "- 966 from Wet n Wild Mega last is similar color for this NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream “Addis Ababa”. Wet n Wild is around $2.99 and NYX Soft Matte Lip cream one is around $6.50 depends on your location you are buying. Also you can buy both in less price during weekly drugstore sales/deals.

Here are the Swatches :-  Addis Ababa is on top and Don’t Blink Pink is bottom swatch.
