CLAZONA 24- HRS LIQUID LIPSTICK

Liquid lipsticks were such a hit in last few year that almost everyone wanted to increase their stash from liquid lipsticks of all brands available. The real joy was when we found a local brand selling them in such a low price and top notch quality. Clazona has been known in blogger's community for its liquid lipsticks from last few years but I didn't know it as was a unknown brand to me until Sana found them in a local store near our home. She grabbed a couple to try and after being satisfied we went to grab a couple more.

About the product

Clazona liquid lipstick comes in a glass tube with the tight black cap and the applicator is the regular doe face which is found in most lip glosses and liquid lipsticks. On the bottom of the tube it is written as "LONG LASTING, Vitamin E & A & C . 2 in 1 NET: 6 g 24 hours Lip gloss". Except for that there is no information about ingredients on product, which is a little turn off if the mentioning of ingredients matters to you.

My views

I will be honest here that I didn't expect a local brand to make such exceptionally well liquid lipstick, the formula, the pigmentation, the staying power, the consistency and the color pay of is just so good. It glides on smoothly on lips, the formula is more on creamier side instead of liquid like Color pop LLs, it dries matte completely within few secs, which also means you have to be careful and quick to apply it. It stays 5-6 hrs on me even with eating and drinking (as long the food isn't oily a lot ). Even upon reapplication it doesn't blot or becomes scaly. The thing I liked most about it is its finish,it doesn't settle in fine lines and give you a smooth beautiful finish. For the price I will say it is a pretty decent product.

Pros:

1- Locally available

2- Economical i.e 150 Rs.

3- Awesome pigmentation.

4- Stays for 5- 6 hours with eating and drinking.

5- Easy to apply

6- Faint scent, almost undetectable.

Cons:

1- No information of ingredients on product.

2- The writing/ design on bottle seems to come off very soon.

How many of you have this product in your bucket list, do tell us in comments below :)

NARS Limited Edition Blush- ORGASM

If someone ask me what are my 3 beauty essentials that I can never live without, my answer always its 1) Mascara 2) Blush on 3) Lipstick. All these essentials and  I can survive a day outside with friends and family. In this post I will be reviewing my newest addition in blush family that is one of its kind. Please keep on reading to know my reviews and experience with NARS ORGASM Blush.

I had been skeptical about NARS ORGASM for the past 3 years? YES you heard that right!!!. The price tag always made me wonder if it is a worth purchasing or not. But the moment I saw it in a Brand new Limited Edition packaging I broke through and with fingers crossed, went for it.

As on their site:

More Blush-More Rush!

Introducing Nars Biggest Orgasm yet- an Out sized Limited Edition compact so irresistible. Its enough to make you blush.  Same iconic, universally flattering shade. New insatiable experience.
 • Nars special edition orgasm blush 3.04oz
 • Nars original orgasm blush 1.92oz

On the sephora website:

What it is: A soft, sheer, pressed powder Blush. 

What it does: NARS blush offers a translucent, natural shades, each with a subtle pink for a natural looking blush undertone to highlight the complexion. Designed to be worn alone or layer together for more depth, it provides a healthy glow that flatters any skin tone.

What else you need to know: Orgasm blush gives cheeks a perfect pinky-peach flush and subtly highlights with accents of golden shimmer. The perennially pleasing, universally flattering shade is a repeatedly a makeup artist and beauty editor favourite.  

MY EXPERIENCE: 

The special edition blush comes in a same rubberized NARS compact. But it has NARS ORGASM imprinted on it which basically is the feature of this limited edition.

 Inside the mirror has the Hashtag #WhatmakesyouBlush imprinted on it. Actual blush is covered by a removable plastic film, which mimics the outer box features a beautiful young lady.

Now on the blush itself, On the Nars and Sephora website it is described as "peachy pink blush with golden shimmer" and I strongly agree with that. It is a warm peachy pink with loads of golden sheen running through it. Shimmer is very finely milled that it doesn't bothers me at all, in fact I kinda like it, as it subtly highlights the cheekbones at the same time.

 Orgasm is their best seller due the fact that it suits a wide variety of skin tones. To be honest I don't have anything similar to this in my collection before. Lets talk about pigmentation, it is very pigmented and glides smoothly on cheeks too although it doesn't have creamy texture and requires few swipes to put product on brush. But if you want to build it more, the only thing that seems to get stronger is the golden sheen, which is a little annoying for me that all I wanted was to have naturally flushed cheeks. But the plus point is there is no fallout, Absolutely NOT!! And on my combination skin it last for well about 6-8 hours which is very decent. I am wearing it constantly the day I got it and loving every time I apply it. 

Overall I think it is pricey but the shade it self is beautiful. 

Price, Availability, Quantity:

I bought mine from Shopaholic for $39. And you get 3.04oz which is almost double the quantity of a regular NARS blush and you pay $9 more. 

Pros:

 • Comes with a huge mirror. 

 • Zero fallout. 

 • Universally flattering shade.

 • Highlights the cheekbones as well. 

Cons:

 • Hefty price tag. 

 • Not easily available.

 • Visible shimmer can bother someone.

 • Compacts get messy easily due to the texture of the outer material.

 • Not practical for travelling. 

Please do share in comments about your favourite blushes and wish list :)

With Love,
Sana.

THE BALM MARY-LOU MANIZER. Swatches and Review

Hello Ladies sorry for being MIA from blog from last couple a month.

I hope Ramadan is treating you all well too.We are living in the world of highlighters, I mean SERIOUSLY look around and you will see every brand, drug store or expensive is launching their innovative highlighters in different forms and shades. The one brand that is been IN in this current chaos from the very start is THE BALM. Yep we all have heard of it, drooled over it and have many of its products in our wishlist. Today I will be reviewing the most talked about highlighter from its series of "THE MANIZER SISTERS" highlighters i.e The Mary Lou Manizer aka The Luminizer.

:).

As on their website:

"Meet Mary-Lou Manizer, a seemingly innocent honey-hued luminizer that catches everybody’s eye. This highlighter, shadow and shimmer diffuses light so your skin looks softer and younger while adding a subtle glow."

INGREDIENTS/NET WEIGHT: Net Weight: 8.5G/0.3OZ.

INGREDIENTS:MICA, ISOEICOSANE, POLYETHYLENE, BORON NITRIDE, POLYISOBUTENE, PTFE, SILICA, SYNTHETIC WAX, DIMETHICONE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE (CI 77891), IRON OXIDE (CI 77491).

Pacakaging:

It comes in a beautiful card board packaging which has a pretty lady imprinted on with golden hued hair, which also depicts the shade of the highlighter itself. It appears like they are taking a criminal's mug shot as the little board the lady is handling says charge with being too pretty, too popular. Well I do like this creativity, I wont lie. Inside the highlighter is in a metallic round container with a tight lid that closes with a click and a mirror. It contains 8.5gm of product, which is quite much as compared to what other brands are offering in this price.

My views:

I have been using this highlighter from last year and I love it every time I use it. The shade can be described as soft champagne. Its consistency is really finely milled, soft and glides very smoothly on skin too. One of the thing I love the most is it doesn't heighten pores and gives almost air brush finish. Pigmentation is super intense, one swipe is enough to give to goddess like glow, or if you like extra glow (I know Sana does), you can definitely apply more and I am telling you it still would not look too bright or too out of the place if blended properly. I heard some girls saying it looks patchy but I haven't observed anything like this and I believe if you apply it properly, you will be pleased to see the results. It stays 6-8 hours on me during day, thought I really love to apply it on night functions due to radiant glow it gives me. I also enjoy applying it in inner corners of my eyes, cupid bow and brow bone.The packaging is travel friendly and you can toss it in bag without any fear of opening. I will certainly recommend it to everyone as it really compliments Asian skin tones.

Pros:

• Universal shade which really compliments skin tones.
• Easily available through Facebook pages.
• Large pan and travel friendly.
• Minimum to zero fall out.
• Intense pigmentation.

Cons:

• Not locally available.
• A little pricey.

Availability and price: It is available on almost every makeup selling Facebook page now. Its retail price is $24, as on their site

Rating: 4.5/5

With Love, Maria.
