Huda Beauty Matte Liquid Lipstick in shade "Icon" Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewing Huda Beauty's Liquid Lipstick in shade "Icon", it comes in a frosty transparent tube which looks chic and elegant.

Since I have been reading so many mixed reviews about this liquid lipstick so thought to buy only one color to see how it really works, is it worth buying or not.

My Experience:

The formula is extremely  runny but still very pigmented at the same time. You need only one single swipe to get a perfect pout. Although its not really long lasting as compare to other liquid lipsticks, but surely the formula feels really comfortable on lips and does not feel sticky or drying at all.

If you want to wear theses lipsticks and want them to stay long enough then try to use a lip liner because with a lip liner it stays more longer than usual. Huda Beauty liquid lipsticks comes with a huge variety of colors which is great. I love this particular color because its a beautiful dusty rose nude color, I hope it makes sense :P. Its a beautiful go to color which you can wear while going university, office or for shopping.

Application:
For smooth application make sure that your lips are moisturize enough, and then apply it directly from the tube or you can use a brush as well.

Swatches:

Thumbs Up:

• Comfortable on lips
• Extremely pigmented 
• Comes with huge variety of colors
• Goes on smoothly

Thumbs Down:

• Not a long lasting formula
• Runny 
• It took quite some time to dry off completely

Texture:
Runny

Jeffree Star Summer 2016 Limited Edition Velour Liquid Lipstick in Watermelon Soda & 714 Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewimg these two beautiful shades from "Jeffree Stars Summer 2016 Limited Edition". I bought these lipsticks in July but after that I was in Pakistan for holidays and then came back and stuck in house chores.Well I got these lipsticks in the shade "Watermelon Soda" & "714". they came in this clear tube but with a different color opener which makes it so summery and fresh.

My Experience:

Watermelon Soda:
Its a bright coral pink shade which looks beautiful on almost all skin tones. It lasts on lips for hours which is a plus point. It does not dry out my lips at all.
It beautifully covers my entire lip in one single swipe. Its really smooth and does not streaky on lips. I love how versatile these lipsticks are, you can totally rock this lipsticks as a eyeliner which is amazing.

714:
But when it  comes to 714 which is a pastel neon pink with purple undertones, it washed me out. So if yore fairer then me than this 714 is definitely your shade but otherwise you have to mix this color with any other color to get the desired shade. Its a lil bit streaky to work with, and also you need 2-3 layers to get the exact color.  So a big no to this color otherwise I love "JS Velour Liquid Lipsticks".
If you're a person who is on the light side then go and give it a try otherwise I suggest you not to buy this color although watermelon soda looks beautiful on both dark & light skin tone.


Application:
Exfoliate your lips and then pat dry with a tissue paper or towel and apply it direct with the wand or you can use a lip brush as well.


Swatches:


Thumbs Up:

• Pigmented
• Long lasting
• Beautiful shades
• Not drying at all

Anastasia's "Modern Renaissance" Palette Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Since this palette launched I had my eyes on it, and really wanted to try it out so I ordered this palette from facebook page "Fashion & Makeup Riyadh" and started playing with it. The packaging is classy and elegant at the same time, it came in this velvet soft pink case along with a dual ended brush and mirror in it.

My Experience:
In this Platte you re going to get 14 eye shadows. All shades are equally pigmented and beautiful. The eye shadows are very soft and they blend easily on crease. It comes with 11 matte and 3 shimmery/metallic colors in it, which makes it an all rounder. You can create a soft brown eye makeup look for office/university or you can simply rock it with creating cut crease and smokey eye makeup look for parties/weddings. I love all the colors in this palette but my most favourite colors are "Burnt orange, primavera, red ochre. Realgar and Cyprus amber.  This pallet comes along with a dual ended brush which is great, with that brush you can apply your eyeshadow and blend it out as well with the other side of the brush.

Application:
If you want to last your makeup all day long than put any eyeshadow base/primer first and then apply eye shadows on, and if you want to avoid any fall out then make sure after taking shadow on your brush tap it a little.

Swatches:

Thumbs Up:

• Elegant packaging
•  Easy to blend
• Pigmented colors
• Not Chalky at all
• Going to get all beautiful warm shades in it
• Comes with dual ended brush

Thumbs Down:

• Fall out a bit

Rimmel Provocalips in Skinny Dipping Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewing this inexpensive and long lasting  liquid lipstick from "Rimmel London" which is  "Provocalips 16HR Kiss Proof lip color in shade "Skinny Dipping".
I got this product a few months back and can't tell you how much I'm in love with it.

My Experience:
I was in a searcrh for a perfect nude color and then I came across this provocalips by Rimmel, Love the fact that how beautiful it is. It last on my lips literally for hours which is great. Its a water proof formula and it doesn't transfer at all, doesn't tug or makes my lips dry, one application is enough to cover your entire lip. Although it is a nude color which makes it not as pigmented like the other colors from this range are. If you want an opaque application then  put two layers of it on your lips and you're good to go. I love wearing this shade with a smokey or bronzy eye makeup and I also use it on top of my dark lipstick to lighten up a lil bit, and sometimes use it with different shades to get the desired color. And with its other side lock and seal you can seal any lipstick and trust me it will lasts for hours.

Application:
Exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub and then apply a lip balm for a minute, and then wipe it off with a tissue or towel and use this provocalips over it.

Thumbs Up:

• Last for hours

Morphe 35E Eyeshadow palette Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Since everyone is talking about Morphe Brushes palette, so I thought to give them a try and hence today I'm going to review this beautiful palette which is "Morphe 35E".
Want to know more then Scroll down a little bit:

My experience:
I got this palette in shade "35E" which is a satin one, all color in this palette are shimmery/blingy and highly pigmented. In this palette you can get all the champagnes, frosty snow, copper, pinks, and deep mauve colors to play with. This palette is a must have if you are a party person, with this palette you can rock any glamorous look just like that. Love the pigmentation, but I have noticed if you wear these eye shadows without any primer it wouldn't last long.

Some of the shadows falls a lil bit which I'm not a fan of. If you live in Riyadh and  want to buy "Morphe" then check at Taiyaba market near Olaya street, or you can buy this from nectar cosmetics at kingdom mall, they deal in original cosmetics but the thing is they sell this palette quite expensive, so I suggest if you are want to buy any Morphe cosmetics then check out Taiyba market or check some online pages as well.

Application:
If you have extremely oily eyelids then prep your eyes with a eyeshadow base/primer and then put your eyeshadow over it for long lasting effect and without any creases.

Swatches:

Swatches without any primer

Thumbs Up:

• Pigmented

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip Kit In "Kitty" Review+Swatches

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm reviewing this beautiful Ultra Matte Lip Kit by Colourpop in shade "Kitty". There are two kits available online, one is with their best sellers lip shades and the other one is "Kitty" with the all new shades. It comes in this metallic magenta box with 5 small liquid lipsticks in it.

My Experience:
It comes with five beautiful colors from nude, to pink, to dark, so you are going to get five different shades those are great for the daily wear, office, school and party. All these colors are very pigmented, you need only one swipe of it and yep you are good to go. The only down side which I have see in these that, their formula is lil bit dry. But if you want to avoid that dryness then, exfoliate your lips before applying these liquid lipsticks and you are ready to roll. They are travel friendly because of their size you can just put it in your purse or pocket as well. Its pocket friendly for those who lives in USA, because here in Riyadh its very expensive guys like seriously.

Last Dance:
Its a brick orange color with red undertone, which looks absolutely gorgeous on lips and which is wearable at both day & night time.

Bianca:
Its a dusty pink color which you can pair with a dark makeup look or can wear for daily basis. Only this shade in this kit flakes a bit.

Be Marry:
Its a bubble pink/coralish color which enhance your features and give you a instant fresh look, and which you can use for your university, office etc.


Time Square:
So its is a perfect nude color everyone looking for, it looks great on medium to olive skin tone but if you are fair may be it washes you out so it looks good if you balanced it with your eye makeup.

Glitter:
This is the most interesting color in this kit which is very bold & sexy. Its a gorgeous purplish color which looks beautiful on all skin tone.

Application:
These are liquid lipsticks so they can make your lips dry a bit, so do wear a lip balm underneath your liquid lipstick. It protects your lips from getting dried and patchy.

Swatches:

Thumbs Up:

• Pigmented
• Beautiful Colors
• Travel friendly
