Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Shade Red Stop Review and Swatches.

Hello Friends ,So its been long I have reviewed a lipshade. So today I have the newly launched Lip crayons from Lakme .And the shade is Lakme Enrich Red Stop.So these crayons fall in category of Creamy Matte as they are moisturizing and have matte finish too.What Lakme claims:Get smooth and matte finish lips with this lip colour crayon by Lakmé that is infused with mineral powders. It has a soft texture and is available in 10 gorgeous shades that suit all Indian skin tones. It also has a rich blend of olive and jojoba oil that simultaneously conditions your lips. For your convenience, the all new Lakmé Enrich Lip Crayon comes with a sharpener.

Link To Buy

Red Stop is a beautiful orange with red hint.It is nowhere red as what name says.It instantly lightens up the face.The shade will go for all skin tones.It looks bright Orange in day light and light red at night. 

Packaging:The crayons come in shape of cute crayon sticks same as those we use to use in school days   They come with a sharpener as you need to sharpen them once they loose the tip.The black cap is sturdy and travel friendly.

Price : INR 185 for 2.2 gms.

Texture & Staying Power:
The texture is smooth to apply on lips but have wax like feeling which could be turn off for some.
The Staying power of these lippies is less.Without meals and drink it stayed for 3hours on my lips.They wear off easily and are not transfer proof.

Pigmentation:
The pigmentation of Red Stop is pretty decent.You would need atleast 2 swipes to get good color buildup.

Direction to apply:

• Step 1: Open the cap and start applying the product from the centre of your upper lip.Step 2: Worked from the centre towards the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth.Step 3: Glide the product across the entire bottom lip.Step 4: This step is optional but you could use a tissue to blot out the extra product.

Lip Swatch:

Cons:

• Have to sharpen the crayons ,Gives a waxy feeling to the lips and Easily Transferrable

My Take:I was super excited when I heard that Lakme is launching Lip Crayons.But Believe me I am not very happy with my experience.It did not meet my expectations.The staying power is very less also the texture is waxy sort of. The crayons do not dry up lips and are moisturizing.They do transfer hence reapplication would be required post meal or drinks.They are neither creamy nor matte hence fall under Creamy Matte category.If you like to experiment with various types of lippies in market you can definitely give it a try or else skip it.

Lakme has many good shades and series in their bag.
Will I be repurchasing the shade ?  Nopes.

Sleek Facial Hair remover wax:Katori Wax Usage and Review

 

Maximum Indian girls face issues with facial hairs either due to hormonal imbalance or genes.
So What do you prefer, face threading or facial wax??
Well from last one decade I had always sticked to generic facial threading only but due to sudden hormonal imbalance in my body I realized that the growth of my facial hairs has increased a lot .
Well that was alarming and I was not very comfortable with threading all over face.
So thought of trying out facial " Katori Wax " popularly called .I researched a bit on it and then got "Sleek Katori Wax" .
So lets find out how it turned out to be.
Product: Sleek Facial Hair Remover.(Pliable Wax)
Quantity: 80gm
Packaging : Comes in a metal bowl or Katori which can be directly placed in wax heater with a strong plastic spatula.

 

Method to Use:
Place the metal bowl or Katori in hot water or in wax heater .It warms up quickly.Once it liquidify check the temperature and apply on face in the direction of hair growth.
It cools down really fast.Once it cools down and solidify within 30 seconds Pull off the wax layer in direction Opposite to hair growth.
Clean with cold water or rub ice cubes.
Apply Aloe Vera gel on the area and massage for 2 minutes.
Links to buy .
Click to Buy
My Take :
I was very scared and skeptical about using Facial Wax as I have never used it before.To be on safer side I did a patch test on my neck area and when I was completely assured I did on face.
I used this wax for Upper Lips ,Chin and Side Locks.

For me the pain was much much less as that compared to threading.And the results also were amazing.Since there are no strips required the process is very simple.
Just apply the wax once cool pull it.
Only thing to take care about is it cools down very quick so one has to be quick in doing the process.
The wax has typical honey smell which is not at all overpowering .
I did not get any type of allergy or side effects post this usage.
But once wax was done my skin was baby soft.
I have never felt this feeling before.The face was so clean and soft that I actually kept touching my cheeks whole day (hehehe)
I have totally loved the overall experience and definitely this is in my routine now.
I just wonder why I dint discover it before. :)
So big thumbs up to this product and yes I will definitely repurchase.

Products I tried :Chocolate Powdered FacewashGreentea Powdered FacewashCoffee Powdered Facepack
So the below review is based on my one week one brand regime.I used facewash twice a day and pack once in 2 days .
Chocolate Powdered Facewash
Method to Use:So I mix the required quantity with rose water and massage on face for 2 minutes in circular motion.

Since Its chocolate the aroma is so strong that I literally felt like eating it while applying.You can actually feel the presence of natural ingredients as it feels so fresh and relaxed after washing face.The best part of the facewash is it does not dries up your skin .It helps in retaining essential moisture of skin.So it works great for people with dry skin like me.
Greentea Powdered Facewash
Method to Use:mix the required quantity with water and massage on face for 2 minutes in circular motion.

The Active Ingredient of this Facewash is greentea.And we all know the innumerable advantages of Green tea for body and skin.It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body and skin.This Facewash suits sensitive and acne prone skin too.Many times when my skin craves for heal I use this facewash.It helps in soothing skin killing bacteria and shields from any new pimples popping in.Out of the lot this Facewash is my favoite so far.Its very gentle on skin and provides perfect lather to deep clean the skin natually.Its very helpful for pigmented skin.With its continuous use I have noticed my acne marks and pigmentation has reduced to great extend.
Coffee Powdered Facepack
Method to use:Mix the required quantity with rose water ,make a paste and apply a thin layer on face and neck.
[caption id="attachment_6284" align="alignnone" width="509"]
I have tried many chocolate facepacks in paste form but powdered form I tried for the first time.The fresh strong aroma of this facepack tempts me to eat the pack.heheheCoffee helps in rejuvenating and refreshing skin .It instantly provides hydration and gives a healthy glow to skin.Since I have dry to normal skin this acts as a great moisturiser for my dull skin.I usually prefer using coffee packs when I feel too tired and need instant freshness.It's a wonderful product and must must try .

M.A.C MATTE LADY DANGER LIPSTICK REVIEW and SWATCHES.

Hello Everyone,This is my second review for a MAC Product.So the product today is the most known ,famous and talked about shade MAC Matte lipstick "Lady Danger".(my personal all time favorite Shade :) ) Have already reviewed one more M.A.C lipshade Matte VIVA GLAM 3 MAC MATTE VIVA GLAM 3 LIPSTICK REVIEWI have been eyeing on this shade since sooo long and can't wait to share my happiness .Lipstick Category : MatteWhat MAC Claims:Formulated to shade,define and showcase the lips.Hundreds of hues,high fashion textures.The iconic product which made M.A.C Famous.Shade:The shade I am reviewing today is MATTE  LADY  DANGER." Lady Danger "is a gorgeous BOLD Orange  shade with Red undertones .Its a matte finish lipstick which is very smooth and  moisturizing on lips. However I would recommend to exfoliate your lips and apply lip balm underneath lipstick.This shade looks awesome on any and everyone who loves to carry bold colors confidently. This lipsticks are not transfer proof hence transfer a bit.This shade is for all skin tones .

Price : 1500 INR  for 3 gmsPackaging:The  packaging of MAC lipsticks is really cute, travel friendly twist up bullet and unique and most of the brands are coming up with similar packaging.

Pigmentation and Texture:This shade is from Amplified series of M.A.C. Its  insanely  pigmented with high coverage finish in just one swipe.One swipe is enough for a perfect look with minimal make-up just an eye liner and it brightens up your face instantly.When applied they are creamy, but within few minutes of application they settle down to perfect matte .But they are not transfer proof .This shade does not settles in fine lines of lips.It does not bleeds and hence can be applied directly from bullet.Outlining with a liner is not much required.Lips do not feel heavy at all, you wont feel that there is something applied on lips.They are moisturizing but I would recommend to exfoliate your lips and apply lip balm before applying this lipstick since it might  feel bit drying after few hours.This shade has very light vanilla fragrance hence its very comfortable to use as I have sensitive nose.Staying power :The staying power of these lipsticks is around 5-6 hours  with food and drinks break.It sustains for a good time .It starts fading from the center of the lips and leaves a beautiful coral tint on lips.It can be easily removed using cleansing milk/make-up remover or my personal favorite Coconut oil.

Lip Swatch:

Availability.Earlier I was always skeptical to buy MAC products online if I would be receiving original ones.Since they are bit on higher end.
But there 's a great news NYKAA has now launched exclusive MAC products in India .The link is mentioned below.
http://www.nykaa.com/luxe/m-a-c-amplified-lipstick-lady-danger.html?skuId=90112

Final Take:If you looking for a bold and beautiful shade to grab attention of people around you ,you must try this shade .I am totally in love with this shade .It is perfect for evening and party wear .On days when I dont feel like doing makeup I simply apply this shade and it brightens up my face and makes me feel confident.This is not an office wear shade .However I would recommend a trial before purchasing the shade since it might be very BOLD for few people .So for people who are lipstick junkies like me dont think just give it a try and I am sure you would not regret buying.I would definitely  repurchase it till M.A.C stops making this shade. :)

Poison on Lips!!!Is your lipstick Lead Safe?

Hello EveryoneWhich is your favorite Lipstick brand? Lakme,Maybelline,Loreal,BodyShop,Avon,Oriflame,Miss Claire's???

I am sure there are many lip junkies like me out there.But recently a wattsapp message actually gave me a shock .The message had small test to identify if lipstick contains lead.Since I use lipsticks a lot I quickly took few lipsticks from my vanity and gave this test a try .And to my surprise it does work.And broke my heart!!There was Lead in few brands I had been using since years!! :( Here is the test you can do yourself:Put some lipstick on your hand,Use a 24k-14k Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.If the lipstick color changes to black then you know the lipstick contains lead

So as you can see in the pic above few colors became black.The brands I tested were Lakme,Maybelline,MAC,Missclaires,7HeavensChubbylipcrayons,Loreal,ELL18The Brands  which failed the test and contains lead are Loreal,7heavens ,Miss-claires and Elle18.Now why is this thing worrying?There are various heavy metals used in lipsticks for increasing their lasting power ,texture and pigmentation.As per FDA only a limit quantity of these metals is allowed in the making.Lets check the harmful effects of various heavy metals in Lipsticks.
Lead : Affects  the nervous system, immune system and the kidneys.  Lead poisoning is difficult to diagnose as it can manifest in may ways including fatigue, insomnia, fertility issues, headache and joint pain, loss of appetite, and irritability.  Children as especially susceptible to lead poisoning.CadmiumCauses kidney damage and possibly also bone effects and fractures.Arsenic Increased risks of skin, bladder, liver, and lung cancer.Mercury Causes damage and disruption to the nervous system.  Chronic poisoning is characterized by neurological and psychological symptoms, such as tremor, changes in personality, restlessness, anxiety, sleep disturbance and depression.Manganese Leads to  nervous system issues and can cause learning difficulties, behavioral changes, brain injury, and slow and clumsy movementsSo coming to Lead Exposure to lead from lipstick is mainly by swallowing, such as licking lips after applying lipstick  .It is nothing but a slow poison which we are inducing in our body by ourselves.As per FDA Analysis exposure to 10 ppm lead from incidental ingestion of cosmetic lip products is very small and cannot be measured in routine blood testing.Exposure to lead from other cosmetics is by absorption through the skin, but the amount absorbed is very small. This means that exposure to lead from a product such as eye shadow or body lotion is even lower than exposure to lead from a lipstick or other lip cosmetic, and also cannot be measured in routine blood testing.Based on these factors, we can say that up to 10 ppm lead in cosmetic lip products and externally applied cosmetics would not pose a health risk. 
Check out the lead content in various brands (Report taken from FDA analysis report).

My Take:So As you can see there is glow on my face especially cheeks and nose.My face felt so clean and smooth post face wash.Tanning got removed from hands and feet too . :)Definitely  it removed all the dirt and also I could feel that some tan is removed from forehead area.The powder did not cause any sort of irritation,burning sensation or redness.It makes skin soft and clear .I used Patanjali Moisturiser post drying face .Since Mine is dry and sensitive I was skeptical to try ,but I am really impressed with this .Since there is no overnight magic , I would be using this pack once a week now.Overall I am happy with the product and would definitely recommend it to people looking out for trying activated charcoal face packs/masks.A big thumbs up to the product.
