Review - Elf All Over Color Stick in Persimmon!

Hello Sweet Angels,

How are you guys doing? Pretty good I'm sure :) I am doing great as well! Yesterday we had a little get together at home and we made some mouth watering delicacies and that included the royal dish - chicken tandoori! I'm amazed as it turned out to be quite delicious! Anyways, I'll no longer keep you guys waiting for the review of "All over cover stick" from elf cosmetics neither give you guys hunger pangs :P

I purchased this product from Target! "oh yea"(Bethany Mota a.k.a Macbarbie07 style) ;) Having said that, I have a news for all the Bethany Mota lovers/fans, she'll be here in Atlanta -GA between 4-6PM at the Lenox Mall on feb 4th. So guys reading this from Atlanta can rush in and meet her!!!!

Okay, so coming to the review, I bumped into this lil thingy while I was getting some makeup stuffs at Target.

Price - $2 in the US (~ Rs 122 INR)

As you can see, the print on the stick has already fading :( I bought this few days ago. The color available at the time of purchase was "Permisson" alone(at Target) which is a champagne pink color. I checked on the internet and found some more shades as well. When I bought this product I really had no idea what will I use it for :P But after experimenting, I think I'll use it over my eye-lids and as a cheek-bone highlight.

The content is cream based. This color you see in the picture has some sheen to it and does a good job blending.

My Experience with elf -All over cover stick:

As I said, I had no idea what will I use this stick for. I use it when I have no time to get ready or I am in a hurry to go out. I apply it on my eye lids and it acts well, like an eye shadow! Also I use it over the lipstick in the center of my lips. It does not have any fragrance.

I am not so happy with this product because:

1. The print on the packaging fades out quickly.

2. This is a twist and turn stick but very little portion of the stick pops out :(

3. As it is cream based, using the content with the brush seems difficult. Therefore, I use my finger to dig out the cream and doing so is not very hygenic in my opinion. :(

What I like about this product:

1. Helps me whenever I'm in a hurry to apply any makeup. I just use this to touch up and it kind of prepares me to go out.

2. Can be used as a highlighter.

3. Blending is easy.

4. Affordable!

Look at the swatch:

Light pink champagne color

Overall rating: 2.5 stars

I don't think I'll look for this again :P

Have fun girlies!

Review: Maybelline Super Stay 14-hr Lipstick

Hello Birdies!!

How are you guys doing?! Yesterday I experienced the first snowfall of my life. It was incredibly beautiful. I jumped, I sang, I laughed, I was totally insane. That was indeed such a lovely experience. Hoping to see more snowfall and cherish every moment! :). Anyways, today I'd be reviewing about the lipsticks that has been with me for more than 6 months now and I love how they turn my lips into, very vibrant.

I am talking about the Maybelline Super Stay 14-hr lipstick and particularly about two of them from this collection.

1. Stay with me coral ( no.430)

2. Infinitely Fuchsia(no.160)

Alright!! lets get started.

I got these lipsticks while I was in India and ever since then I love the lipsticks from this range. The colors are absolutely the must haves in your vanity and are damn gorgeous. I wear them most of the times and would definitely try out other colors for sure.

Lets check the swatches and see how deep and pigmented these colors are:

See!! very pigmented and they are kind of having a matte finish. As the product claims, the longetivity of the color is pretty good. It stays intact for about 9-10 hours.

Price: Rs. 525/- INR and about $6.94 in the US.

Okay, talking about the colors that I own, I love Fuchsia!! and this color that you see above called Infinitely Fuchsia is so perf for almost all skin tones. I highly recommend this color, it blends well and can be used on all type of occasions and it'll make your lips look vivacious.

The second color, coral of course!!! As you guys know coral has been trending these days and you see so many varieties of corals available in the market it is very difficult to find that perfect coral. It was hard for me too. I would dig every corner of the drug store to find that "Oh so coral' color and finally one day I found this lipstick that was waving at me :P I fell in love the moment I saw this gorgeous beauty. As you can see in the pics above the Coral is equally vibrant as the fuchsia, that's the specialty of this range. Perfect for parties and a must have color for spring and summer.

My experience with Maybelline Super Stay 14-hr:

1. Longetivity is really cool. Lasts for 9-10 hrs perfectly.

2. Makes lips dry. I have to apply chap sticks over the lipstick to prevent my lips looking chapped.(you can see it in the lip swatches below)

3. I love the taste :P It has peppermint-y taste and smells like some peppermint candy.

4. May be I've already said this a thousand times, the colors are super pigmented and very vibrant.

5. Packaging is simple, you can see the colors through a transparent case of the lipstick.

6. Very matte, so guys please moisturize your lips before you apply this lippy on. Else you'll end up having flakes showing up on your lips which is aweful. Apart from that I am totally loving both the lippys :)

And I guess that's pretty much all I have to say about this product.

Overall rating: 4/5 stars!! - Very Good

And yes!!! I'd love to purchase more from this range.

Hope this review was useful!
