Review : KIKO Double touch 10 hour lipstick in shade 09 !!

i love wearing lipsticks with good staying power..as i am very lazy for touch up's.KIKO ia a really good brand with affordable prices for the quality.This is my 2nd product from KIKO..i already reviewed an eye shadow which i love a lot !! you can check the review Here

coming to the lipstick its a is beautiful wine shade/close to plum , a perfect daily wear lipstick ...i think they discontinued this shade now . they have different shades from this range ..now available..you can check KIKO website Here





Price : £6.90
Description :

Liquid lipstick duo with shining effect. Lasts up to 10 hours.

An extraordinary combination of colour base and lipgloss with an intense, luminous finish. The colour adheres to the lips and stays on for hours.



Colour base

its formula, enriched with a combination of film-forming polymers, ensures maximum comfort, exceptional adherence to the lips and an even, ultra long-lasting colour. Its soft, flocked applicator follows the contour of the lips and outlines them with maximum precision. 
Special no-transfer texture that is smudge-proof and dries very quickly.



Lipgloss

a soothing-action formula to give the lips a luminous and shiny finish.Its bristle applicator makes it easy to apply and ensures the use of just the right amount of product.

Hypoallergenic product = formulated to ensure minimum instance of allergic reactions. Paraben free.




How to use :

To get perfectly made-up and moisturized lips all day long:
1) Apply the colour base and wait two minutes to enable the product to dry thoroughly. 
2) Apply the moisturizing lipgloss to get a super-luminous result. Reapply several times a day to renew moisturizing and shine.
To better remove the product, use an oil-based or bi-phase make up remover for the lips.

The swatches :





My experience :

First of all..i love this particular shade called KIKO Double touch 10 hour lipstick in shade 09 ..its wearable everyday shade.i love the concept of double ended lipstick and gloss.The lipstick is like a cream glides smoothly....it takes few seconds to dry..after that i am using the gloss...wooww..love the effect but sadly the gloss doesnot stay for long time..only the glossiness stays for 1 hour ..but the lipstick stays after a full meal too..very impressive...but i wish the glossiness also stays for long time !!

me wearing..:)



Final Note :
If KIKO is available in your country,definitely try at least one of their products ..you love them

( I am not sponsored to do this post..i am sharing my honest opinion )

Maybelline Colour 24Hr Tattoo Collection : 4 shades Review !!

Friend post By Tej :

Maybelline Colour 24Hr Tattoo Collection: 

Pink Gold,Turquoise Forever,Eternal Silver,On and On Bronze

/* Today I come up with quick post of my Maybelline Tattoo
collection /*










What product claim?

Cream Gel Eye Shadow

24 hour Staying Power

Vibrant Colour that does not fade

Maybelline Colour Tattoos come in a pretty solid glass jar with a screw-off lid.
Being small, sturdy and portable they fit easily into bag while travelling. The
pots have a coloured sticker matching with the colour inside and a clear view of the shade from jar making it easy to locate colour if you have number of shades.




It’s very affordable and best product Maybelline has. I bought these a while back from Boots and having used them a number of times, I love them to the core.
So let’s start with the description of each and every shade.

Quantity: 4g

Price: £4.99

Availability: Boots /Super drug in UK

Description of my collection:

Pink Gold: A metallic, neutral pink with golden tones which makes your eyes
looks very gorgeous and stunning. Really pigmented and blends out nicely. Very creamy in texture but lasts at least 7-8 hours on my lids. Perfect for spring.It is regular wearable colour and looks really pretty on its own just all over the lid. I would definitely recommend it to everyone as it is very gorgeous eye colour. This gel cream tends to dry and stick to eye lids really very quickly after applying.

PINK GOLD eye tatooReview by me Here

Turquoise Forever: Very pretty blue colour. This is superb pigmented as one
swipe builds up colour. Stays whole day without fading or creasing, which I
absolutely like. It can be applied on its own or create Smokey look as well.
I am super impressed with this. This is really fab and good value for money.
Very easy to put on as small amount is enough to blend out nicely. Because
of creamy texture does not fall out while applying and dries quickly and my
favourite colour as well among my collection.

Eternal Silver: A beautiful silver shade that is slightly greyish and contains a lot of shimmer. The formula is perfectly creamy and blend able. Eternal Silver looks quite grey in pan. Perfect for wearing in evening parties or would make a great base shade for a Smokey eye or even just a corner highlight.

On and On Bronze: It is a beautiful true bronze shade with gold shimmer in it which can be worn through the daytime or with Indian attires.

Swatches ( with Flash )





Pros:


Creamy eye shadow that stays on all day without creasing or fading

Doesn't dry out the delicate skin on the eyelids

Easy to apply with a small flat brush, and then blend it in with finger

Superb pigmentation

Stays longer almost 7-8 hours

Amazing range of colours available, 11 shades in UK

Sturdy and chic packaging

For such an amazing quantity and quality, the price is very affordable

They are designed to be used as long-wearing eye shadows, eyeliners or
even bases and primers for other eye shadows.

eye looks ( with flash on) 












Cons:

Needs quick blending as they are tends to dry up on the eyelids fast.

I personally wouldn't recommend them for use on the waterline as
they tend to slip off easily.

Overall rating: 4.5/5

PINK N PURPLE says :

Today I am going to share my experience with Faces Go Chic Lipstick of Claret cup. I bought this one from India from my own town. Wish I could buy more because I’m really in love with this lipstick.

What the product claims?? 
Long stay, extra-shine lip colours.
Super stay, easy to apply Lipstick gives uniform coverage.

Colour:
Reddish brown Colour. Would Suited to all skin tones.

Start with Packaging:

These Lipsticks comes in a sexy and gorgeous shiny black tube with “Faces “endorsed across the silver part of the tube. The shade number, shade name and quantity are written on the white sticker pasted on the bottom of the tube. The black case is very sturdy and travel friendly. There is no any chance to create a mess in your bag. There is only one thing which bothers me a lot, No colour indication on outside of the tube. Need to open the lid every time to locate the colour.




Texture: 
Lipstick is very soft, Smooth and creamy in texture. It can be applied easily on the lips without smudging. Very bright shade and would suit to all skin tones. Fragrance is very mild and pleasant. It is very rich in moisturizing and doesn’t dry out the lips at all.

Staying Power: 
Staying power is quite good. Does stay up to 5-6 hours without eating or drinking but leaves a beautiful tint while fading. Yes it transfers easily on cups and glasses as very soft and creamy in Texture. I love the texture and feel of the product. Best for evening parties or you can wear regular in office as well and yes it does not bleed at all.
