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 recurre...

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...
