Sephora Cream Lip Stain Review

Shade 03: Strawberry Kissed 

After I saw so many of you beauties rave about this amazing liquid lipstick, all I could do was wait for it to enter in my life. I got this lipstick just before the festive season last year, with a lot of burgundy and violets dominating my festive look, I realized I needed a catchy day-time lip shade. Well, you clearly know it was an excuse to go to Sephora, yet again ;)

 Well now to the review:
Packaging 

When it is a long lasting matte liquid lipstick, I think one must worry about the packaging. This one is a slender 5ml plastic tube with black lid and transparent tube which helps you to see the actual shade. This is helpful while making online purchases as for most shades the tube color matches exactly with the lip cream. The outer appearance is simple and chic. It can be easily tossed in your bag without the fear of any leaky bits and also it doesn't take too much space. The doe-foot applicator is perfect for applying a serious matte lipstick with precision and also ensures no product wastage.


Shade, formula and staying power

This shade is known as 03 Strawberry Kissed. You can carry this shade for both day and night time. If you are not comfortable with proper red lipsticks, this shade can easily give you the feel of a red lip without making it look too red as it has pink undertones. The formula is pure matte and very long lasting. It glides on very easily and does not dry out your lips. It stays put for good 4-5 hours on application, without any heavy eating or drinking. It can start feeling slightly worn out after that and it is not recommended to re-apply the lipstick for touch ups. You need to take off the entire lipstick as it stains and can get in between the lines of your lip. 



My overall take

It is one of the best lip cream formulas available in the market. It will cost your pocket about INR 1090 -1150 depending upon the shade you choose. Also, the price is justified for the quantity, as very little product is enough for each application. It stays true to its claims of being long lasting and not dry out your lips, but for any heavy matte product, it is only wise you scrub and moisturize your lips well for that smooth look. There are several color options in this collection, that means there is one out there for everyone. Saying that, I also need to warn you most of them are always out of stock - so be prepared for online options. I am not sure you will end up buying more than 2-3 shades at a time, even though there is a huge variety, because the colors are very predictable and there is a possibility you may find similar shades with other more affordable brands. 


Which is your favorite Sephora Lip Stain?

Bioderma Node DS+ Shampooing Review

Bioderma! A brand every skin/hair care fancying woman greedily hoards. Well in my case I needed to pick this "heaven sent" product to heed to my never-ending, every stalking dandruff problem. I have been facing persistent dandruff right since I was a kid, but with time and changing products the flaky snow on my head just got worse. I had been using The Body Shop - Ginger Anti Dandruff shampoo, as mentioned in my earlier post here , I never swore by it that it did any good or bad to my dandruff situation, but I still continue using it every once a while and avoid using it on my scalp off-late. I was recommended this shampoo by my dermatologist as  I recently had some problem with an allergy on my lip (about that I will cover in another post - coming soon!) which was triggered by dandruff *sighs*. Ok back to Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo Claims of this product: - Reduces rapid increase of Malassezia yeast which triggers dandruff - Prevents recurrence of da

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 slightly off

A Marks & Spencer Beauty: Mini Perfume Haul

I am all into miniatures these days and when I saw these beauties, I had to dig in. I have never been a perfume purchase person, as mostly they were gifted to me. I love a real good mist and was quite committed to Bath & Body Works and The Body Shop ones for a long time now so I decided lets switch that up and that is when I found these lil' devils and whats better than carrying these dinky yet amazing perfumes around for a spritz! There was an ample collection in all different sizes and notes, I am sure there is something for everyone. I was looking for an everyday type of a scent, so I picked up a day scent, an evening scent and a floral scent.  Since they are so dinky and sturdy you can easily carry them in your smallest purses throughout the day. 1)  Marks & Spencer Beauty:  Lavender Eau De Toilette - This scent is from their floral collection, I never owned an ONLY lavender scent before, I sniffed it I loved it, it is a typical lavender subtle scent, yet it makes
