L'OREAL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK IN FOREVER FRAPPE 814 REVIEW AND SWATCH

Hello everyone,
For today's post I am going to be reviewing the L'oreal Infallible lipstick in FOREVER FRAPPE 814.
When it comes to L'oreal I would say its lipsticks are my most preferred makeup items proceeded closely by other products.
I have one more lipstick from this range its the REFINED RUBY, which let me say is my most favorite red lipstick, okay not favorite but amongst my most most most favorite red lipstick of all time.
And this shade is no exception. This is my no nonsense go to lipstick for smokey eyes, I never think twice before using this one.

Off to the review:
PRICE: INR 900

PACKAGING: It comes in a plastic lipstick case transparent all the way including the cap, the cap snaps shut tightly which make sit very travel friendly. But I am not a fan of the packaging, it looks rather cheap compared to the other lipsticks L'oreal has, but it isnt so bad the plastic casing is quiet sturdy, you can see the lipstick and on the bottom the number and color is written, the bottom is color coordinated with the lipstick.

TEXTURE: These lipsticks are creamy and go over smoothly on your lips, and they dont settle into the lines , but if your lips are chapped you better exfoliate them before using any lipstick, that is a given. The finish is semi matte, with just the right amount of sheen.

PIGMENTATION: I get the desired color in a single swipe as these lipsticks are creamy I dont want to layer up too much product, beside it doesnt come to that as the lipstick is pretty pigmented and stays true to its color in a single swipe.

STAYING POWER: These are fairly long lasting lipsticks, a good 5-6 hours after light snacks, bu its not infallible, it does wear off after 5-6 hours and you need to reapply, but it doesnt dry the lips during the course of the day.

So overall nothing much to complain about.
I love these and would love to pick up few more shades from this range.
Do try these you wont be disappointed. Both the shades that I have are not available in India:( But the shades launched in India are all very nice. Do check.

DRAMATIC SMOKEY EYES MAKEUP TUTORIAL SILVER AND BLACK

HEY EVERYONE,
This post is a pictorial tutorial of an all out SMOKEY EYES using silver as the base color.
I love this kind of makeup its all out there and definitely not for day time. SO without much ado lets begin:

1. After priming the eyes with NYX EYESHADOW BASE I applied NYX JUMBO eye pencil in silver on the entire lid laeving the outer corner.

2.On the outer corner I applied NYX Jumbo eye pencil in BLACK BEAN.

3.On top of the silver base I applied a metallic silver shade from the Milani Runway Eye shadow palette except for the outer corner.

4.On the outer corner I applied black eyeshadow from the same palette, creating a "v" shape and then I took the same eyeshadow on the lower half of the lid, and on the inner part of the lower lid I applied the same silver  eye shadow.
After this I started blending blending everything in small strokes with soft hands.
5. I then added a white matte eyeshadow as the highlight shade and also applied in the inner most corner of both the top and bottom lids to open up the eyes.

At this stage I also tightlined my upper lashline and applied gel eyeliner on both top and bottom lash line.

I curled my lashes ans applied mascara on both top and bottom lashes. Here is the final look on both the eyes.

For the rest of the face I kept it simple and I contoured my face slightly with PHYSICIAN'S FORMULA BRONZER.

And lastly I added nude lipstick and used a powder to give it a matte finish.

Here is a list of all the products use for this look:

L'Oreal Infallible Lipstick In Refined Ruby 337 : Review

Hello everyone,
I am back with another review. This one is going to be on Loreal Paris Infallible Le Rouge Lipstick in Refined Ruby. Refined Ruby is my most worn and most loved and most favorite Red lipstick. I love it too too much.
Its priced at INR 900 and USD $9.99.
Lets get the review started.

PACKAGING: The lipstick is packaged in a clear and transparent tube and it quiet sturdy. Being transparent allows you to see the color without opening it. All the lipsticks in this range have a red color coating on the top of the lid, which doesnt make much sense to me, the packaging should be able to help identify the color of the lipstick not misguide you. Also for the price the packaging isnt up to the mark. But looks aside the packaging is secure and sturdy so the lipstick is travel friendly.

TEXTURE: I own a couple of shades of this line and can safely say that texture of the lipstick is soft and smooth. Its formula is thicker so its not buttery smooth but smooth enough. Being a red shade it is very pigmented shade and color payoff in a single swipe is exceptional. Its a creamy lipstick and it has semi matte finish so its not exactly glossy or shiny. (If you do prefer that kind  look then I suggest using a lip gloss.)

COLOR AND STAYING POWER: Ooooo...where to begin.Its a darker red with blue undertones. Its not on the orange side and thus makes it all the more flattering for almost all skin colors. Its vibrant and a bold red which sure makes a statement. The staying on this lipstick is A-M-AZ-I-N-G. It is infallible literally...of course in between meals it does fade away but ever so slightly. It stays for a good 7-8 hours on the lips without having to reapply.

APPLICATION: As with any bold and bright shade ans especially with reds its best to start with a lip liner. This lipstick is very pigmented and thus for most part one swipe is sufficient. Since it is not buttery smooth it is advisable to keep your lips moisturized.

OVERALL VERDICT: I am very pleased with this lipstick right from the texture to the formula to the staying power to the color everything is bang on. Its true to its claim , its a long wear lipstick but what is surprising and wonderful is that its still easy on the lips. The lipstick doesnt dry out even after hours of application as most long hour lipsticks do, they get dry and uncomfortable on the lips they get between the lines. Not this one mam, no no no...I would definitely repurchase this particular shade, and would most definitely try out other shades in the line. I am HAPPY girl! This product is worth spending the money on...because I'm worth it! okay kinda cheeky...but what...(just writing about this stuff makes me happy).I would definitely recommend you all to try this lipstick. Even if red is not your color do check out other colors in the line, they have an awesome selection.

Good job L'Oreal keep 'em comin.....
Until next time.....
