M.A.C Lipstick - M.A.C Captive

M.A.C Lipstick - M.A.C Captive - Satin Finish

Who doesn't love M.A.C, right?

If there is one makeup related item which I cannot get over, it has to be LIPSTICKS! (lovingly called, Lippie)

Ok, Ok! Now to M.A.C Captive Lipstick:

I can go on and on and brag about how this lip shade is one the best shades to suit Indian skin tone. It is a berry-pink kinda shade. It is a satin finish formula, which is more matte than creme-sheen finishes from M.A.C, yet it is not a proper matte-matte finish, which means that it will remain put for a longer duration.

Having said that, it still lasts long and leaves back quite an even tone layer of color on the lips, being the shade that it is, the stain on the lip looks good without any hassle of re-application, so YAY! if you are on the GO!

Pros in terms of usage:

*Everyday color
*Easy formula to work with - Easy application
*Compliments most Indian skin tones
*Smells wonderful (well all M.A.C lipsticks do!)

Cons in terms of usage:

*Fair skin toned girls might find the shade more party or evening/night appropriate
*Not appropriate in terms of formula if one is not comfortable wearing brighter shades in a creamy/satiny formula.

My Take on the product:

I wear this shade both day and night time. Formula wise - Satin finish is my fave! I won't say this is the best lipstick I own from M.A.C, yet its one of the shades I am most inclined to when I want to portray that I have taken some effort on my looks, ha ha! :)

Overall its a lipstick purchase, which has a fair chance to be added back in my stash!

M.A.C Lipstick Review - M.A.C Matte Lipstick - Shade Diva

My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades. Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone. I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color. My First Impression: My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!" My...

Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum Review

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters. I started using the Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days. I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it. Now abou...

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage. About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightl...
