Essence Look at Me Lipstick 40 Review & Swatches

Essence 40 Look at Me  Lipstick Review

Guest Post by Christina
This is a product that I got as a gift from my sister in law who lives in Belgium.  I am not familiar with their products but after using the lipstick and reading others reviews I found it to be a good product. It is produced in Germany and is mostly sold in the E.U. and in the U.S.  The one reason I decided to review this lipstick was because of their devotion to the 'cruelty against animals' cause.  For those of your who do not know me I am an animal activist and I have stopped using animal tested products.  Essence is strictly against any kind of animal testing whatsoever.  It is absolutely awful to torture animals for the sake of beauty products



Their products stand for trendy and high quality cosmetics at a sensational low prices because they do not use costly advertisements using models or celebrities, expensive tv spots or print ads in magazines.


Product Description:
# 40 Look at Me is part of the 2012 spring/summer collection.   I used an Essence  product for the first time.  I liked how it felt and if given a chance I would like to try out other colours and a different finish, because frosty lipsticks are for a younger lot than me.  I would not even feel guilty about over spending because essence products are a  fantastic buy for makeup fanatics looking to stock up on a budget. 
  
They have added two more shades to their spring/summer collection and so all of the 16 colors have been bumped up to the fall/winter season 2012.  

 
Price & Quantity: $ 2.49, $4 AUD  for 4 gms
 

Key Ingredients: Not mentioned on the tube but it is mentioned in a PDF file on the site.  Few key ingredients would be castor seed oil, lanolin, paraffin,carnauba wax and avocado oil. The rest are chemical names.

 

My Experience with Essence 40 Look at Me Lipstick :


Packaging: These lipsticks come in color-coded packaging.  That means the lipstick tube is the exact same color as the lipstick making it easy to reach for your favourite shade. When you open the tube, the top half of the inner tube is plastic and it is not a problem really.  You can see how much product is left at all times.  My only problem is that these lipsticks do not come with any kind of seal!


 
Colour, Consistency & Texture: It is a sizzling sheer beige-brown that lights up your lips with a soft gleam.  It is a frosty lipstick with some shimmer but it is not over the top at all.  If you are looking for a creamy nude color that doesn't lean too pink or too beige this is definitely it.  Almost close to MAC blankety lipstick excluding the frost and the cheap price.  I hardly got any smell when I used it.   In the pictures I have also lined my lips with a bit of a rose coloured liner and that totally changed how the colour looked on my lips.  I was quite happy to use it like that.
 


How it works: This lipstick is soft and velvety to apply.  It does contain shimmer along with being frosty.  It does not settle in lip lines but one must exfoliate the lips before using this.  Frosty colours do tend to draw an audience and you wouldn't want dry flaky bits of skin peeking out from beneath it would you?

Pros of Essence 40 Look at Me Lipstick:

  • Inexpensive - Budget brand
  • Easy to use
  • Does not test its products on animals
  • Does not settle in lip lines
  • Pretty nude colour
  • Goes on smoothly
  • The shimmer is not gaudy
  • Colour co-ordinated container
  • Even Application
  • Long Lasting
  • Moisturizing
  • Pleasant Tasting
  • True colour swatch
  • As good as a high-end brand

 

Cons of Essence 40 Look at Me Lipstick :

  • Limited selection of colors
  • Not available in India
  • Frosty shade that most Indian skin tones cannot carry off
  • Availability is limited
  • Not available online yet
  • Not suitable for work because it's frosty
  • Does not come packed or sealed.  It can be tested at the store


Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 3.55


Would I Repurchase Essence 40 Look at Me Lipstick ? Yes and no.  No, not that colour but yes different shades and other products by the brand. 


A note of warning: Frosty and shimmery high gloss lipsticks look best on the young because these draw a great deal of attention to lips so becareful when you select lipstick.  It is not just about color but also about the finish. As you age you cannot ignore the fact that certain colours become a total no no. Matte lipstick is best on certain age groups and so are glossy, high sheen lipstick styles.
                     It's only a while before you will start seeing this brand on our online cosmetics shopping sites, something like ELF that has flooded the market.  You can visit the website for more information. It is a very, very pretty and fresh site and I am sure all of you are going to go bonkers looking at it.

Avon Simply Pretty Color Last Lipstick Almond Beige Review & FOTD

Guest Post by Barisha

Avon Simply Pretty Color Last Lipstick Almond Beige Review

Hello lovely ladies.. How are you all? Hope you all are fine. I am back with another review today and this review is on an Avon lippy. To be very frank I am not too much into makeup. For me applying a lil compact, eyeliner and kajal is more than enough. Somehow I always think whenever I apply lipstick it makes me look more ugly :P But this lippy just proved me that was wrong: and I am really happy for that. Today I am going to review this on my favorite blog, of course here at  Makeup and Beauty Home :D Okay, now let us see how it works on me. Keep reading!





Product Description:
  • Get velvety color that lasts long, stays fresh and keeps lips soft and moisturized.
  • Gentle long-lasting lipstick with anti-oxidants and SPF 12 UVA/UVB
  • Lasts up to 4 hours
  • Transfer resistant

Price: Rs.299


Shade: Almond Beige


My Experience with this Product:


Packaging: It comes in a dark violet pack. The packaging looks okay and it is sturdy enough to be travel friendly; no complaints.



Colour and Texture: The colour of this Almond Beige lipstick from Avon justifies the name. It actually looks like almond but after applying on the lips it looks so different. Sometimes it looks pinkish brown sometimes orangish brown. Sometimes brown! No I am getting confused :P I am very poor at describing colours so have a look at my swatch and FOTD. The texture is of lipstick is so creamy, buttery and soft. It is so soft that it tends to break or melt if not stored in refrigerator.



How it works: One can easily apply this lipstick over their lips without any hardness as it glides in a smooth manner. This lipstick is nicely pigmented and stays on my lips for 3-4 hours as per the claims. This shade suits almost every Indian skin type and thus can be wore daily for casual outings and even for work. Overall, this lipstick suits everyone beautifully and the lippy beginners out there can pick this without any second thought.


FOTD:

This is how it looks on me and sorry I was damn tired at that time!



Now come, let us discuss about the pros and cons.

Pros of Avon Simply Pretty Color Last Lipstick in Almond Beige Shade

  • Beautiful colour which brightens up the face.
  • Sturdy and travel friendly packaging
  • The shimmers are very subtle, making this lipstick as a perfect daily wear one
  • Will suit almost every skin tone
  • The lipstick does not bleed
  • Suitable for office wear too
  • One of the best shades for lipstick beginners
  • Not drying as it has a buttery texture
  • Contains SPF
  • I think its affordable for the worth. Avon products are available on discounts most of the time.
  • Good staying power, This particular shade will stay for 3-4 hours without the need of reapplications.


Cons of of Avon Simply Pretty Color Last Lipstick in Almond Beige Shade

  • The ingredients list is missing.
  • Availability is a problem for many.
  • Might melt in hard summers; you can store it in refrigerator though


Recommendation: I will recommend this to lipstick to every lipstick loving girl. It looks good on all skin types and perfectly suitable on both day and night.

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Misty Cocoa Review

Guest Post by Smita

Hey gals,
Lip colours and girls cannot be separated from each other. In my college life, I used only pink lip glosses. Never thought of putting on lipstick, because I was very shy gal. But now I am so much into makeup and skincare that I have collected so many lipsticks in my vanity. My lip colour range consists of matte, glossy and ultra moisturizing. I am so much in love with colobar these days. So here I will be reviewing One of them here.





Product Decription:
For a rich lip colour with a creamy shine, the Velvett Matte Lipstick, available in stunning shades infuse the lips with vibrancy. Its unique 2-in-1 formulation gives the lips a creamy, yet matte finish. A one of a kind product in India, it has super softening agents that give the lips a soft and supple appearance while keep them nourished with Vitamin E. Staying on up to 5 hours on application, the Velvett Matte Lipstick can be further accentuated with lip gloss and lip liner.
    
Shade: Misty Cocoa

Price: Rs.225

My Experience with this Product:

I am a complete lover of Colobar velvet range, they are good on pocket and lips as well. Their entire range of colors is meant to suit all complexions. I myself have 5 from this collection.
      They are good enough to cover pigmented lips in one or two swipes. Staying power is additional bonus of having Colorbar in your kitty. After having meals they stay as a stain on your lips, so they won’t let you down anyway.
I have read many reviews saying this lipstick has flimsy packing, but girls that’s not the case.  It’s quite sturdy. For me it’s cute transparent packing. Even VOV has same packing for lippies.
     Misty cocoa color is good to wear with saree and salwar kameez in evening parties. It will suit almost all complexions. I like to wear this shade with my black tee’s. Though this is not as good as other browns but it doesn’t make me look dull also.








PROS:

  •     This lippy is quite economical.
  •     Transparent packing and colour swatch at end of tube makes it easy to stack.
  •     There is a little fragrance but not that prominent, for me this fragrance has no problem.
  •     It stays even after having light meals, and it can be seen as stain on lips.
  •     Just One swipe is required to cover pigmented lips.

CONS:

  •     This color may not be choice for all, it can add few years to your age.
  •     Fragrance can be problem for some gals.

Rating: 4/5


Would I Repurchase:
Yes I will buy this again, as it goes well with my sarees for a simple evening look.

Deborah 24Ore Power Extreme Long Lasting Lipstick Shade 07 Review

Deborah 24Ore Power Extreme Long Lasting Lipstick

Pink lipsticks are always said to be girly, cute and pretty. Today we are going to check a review about one of the pink lipsticks from Deborah Milano. I just now had a steaming bowl of rice with mint chicken gravy and came back to my PC again. I received this lipstick along with some more makeup goodies from the brand long back. It's really 'long back' but lazy me didn't review it earlier. I have been using this lipstick now and then, for outings and nearby shopping visits. Let us move on to my detailed review now.


Deborah 24Ore Power Extreme Long Lasting Lipstick


The number is the shade is mentioned on the top and base of the lipstick. The 'shade' too can be easily identified.




Product Description:
Long lasting lipstick that feels satiny soft on lips
Want a settled matte look for your lips! Try on the new 24Ore Power Extreme Long-Lasting Lipstick that comes with a special glide-on formula. It applies smoothly on lips without emphasizing lip lines while keeping them soft and supple.


Price: Rs.595 (You can get it on great discounts from leading online shopping sites)


Shade: 07 [They didn't name the shades, but numbered it]


This lipstick has a flat end tip


Swatch:



Experience with this Product:

This lipstick is packed in a simple and attractive off brown thick plastic tube and the cap is sturdy enough making the product travel friendly to use. The shade is pink, somewhat fuchsia-sh with blue undertones. Soon after application, it looks bold and bright on lips but after 10-20 minutes the shade becomes subtle and soft pink, which looks pleasant and fresh. You won't find that it is a shimmery lipstick until your wear it. Yes! It has very tiny shimmers but don't worry they are SUBTLE and hard to notice. With a lip balm beneath, this lipstick spreads evenly onto the lips and covers imperfections good with 4-5 swipes [Don't expect opaque finish in a single swipe]. But yes! this lipstick shows on your lips as how you wear it. If you do 3-5 swipes, it covers all the imperfection and goes opaque pink. Whenever I am stepping out for nearby shopping or outing, I just make a single swipe on my lips and all set! I get that natural pink lips.
         While coming to the 'long lasting' claim, YES it lasts longer! With decent swipes, it lasts good for 6-7 hours leaving a mild tint. It stayed on my lips even after having boost that my mom gave :P So, in this factor, I give full marks to this lipstick. Once in a cold day, when my lips were dry I tried to put on this lipstick and failed to get even the tint. Your lips should be naturally normal [not dry or flaked like mine] or moisturized with your lip balm before applying this lipstick. for better finish. Overall, this lipstick stays long, doesn't settle into lines, doesn't dry out lips [Of course you need a lib balm yet] and for all these good factors, the price cannot be taken as a big can. This 24Ore lipstick from Deborah Milano is surely a great buy! Go ahead pinkies.


PROS
  • Super PINK shade with cool undertone
  • Subtle shimmer adds a nice fresh shine to the lips
  • Long lasting as per the claim. You can expect it for 6-7 hours or even more depending upon food intake.
  • Doesn't spread easily without a lip balm but on the other hand, it doesn't actually dry out the lips
  • Even after fading, it leaves a beautiful subtle pink tint behind
  • Daily wearable shade; you can either wear it sheer or pigmented as per your wish
  • You have decent number of shades to choose from.
  • Doesn't settle into fine lines
  • Simple,attractive, easy to use and travel friendly packaging
  • Worthy for the price

CONS
  • Not much pigmented. You will need 4-5 swipes for an opaque coverage
  • Even though it doesn't dry out lips, you need a lip balm beneath for better application; exfoliation helps too
  • The fragrance of this lipstick is not bad but greedy  me expected a sweet fragrance :P

Overall Rating: 4.5/5


Recommendation: Yes! Pink lovers, go for sure. This lipstick is worth a try and the shade is daily wearable as well. [Don't get afraid of the swatch, it perfectly suits the lips without looking OTT pink] The pay off of the shade depends on how much you apply it.


Would I Repurchase?: Is that a question? Yes I would! I am eying out for other shades from this range.

5 minute Party Makeup Tutorial for Beginners - FOTD & EOTD

Hey damsels! I am here with a makeup look today after a long time. Nothing hard, it's just a simple makeup look for beginners to wear for birthday parties and other such occasion. Let me instruct you now how to get this simple look in 5 minutes.

5 minute Simple Makeup Look - FOTD and EOTD

 

Face






Lips



Eye Look



Instructions:

 

Face

  • Cleanse and moisturize your face. Make sure to use a matte moisturizer if you have oily skin, to control excess oil secretion for long hours. Dry skinned people should go for a nourishing moisturizer to avoid tight stretchy feel or white patches while applying makeup. A good nourishment in dry skin leads to smoother application and flawless finish.

  • After moisturizing your skin, start applying your concealer on the areas near nose, under eyes and flaws. Blend it well with your concealer brush without any streaky patches. You can also skip your concealer if your face is flawless.

  • When the application of concealer is done, you need to put on your foundation. You can use a powder foundation or a water based one if you have oily skin. Dry skins can go for cream foundation to get blended easily on the dry and rough parts. Make sure to select a waterproof foundation whatever your skin type is, to save your makeup from sweating.
 
  • Brush and dust your facial skin with a loose powder or a compact to set the foundation and even out your skin tone. 

  • You have finished your base makeup now. The other things should be done are eye makeup, lipstick and lip gloss application and blush application (Optional). This makes a perfect and simple party look when worn lovely jewels along. Grand jewels suit with simple makeup look well than the overdone makeup.

Eyes



  • We have already applied a concealer to hide those dark circles and flaws around eyes, so no need to add anything extra for this simple makeup look. For a long staying powder of your eye makeup, do use a primer and set it with a loose powder again. One can also skip this step as this is optional.

  • If you are a beginner in using eye shadows, start with a single shade. Gently stretch your eyebrows with fingers upwards and notice your eye area. The entire skin covering your eyeball is the "Eyelid". Eye shadow shouldn't be applied over the eyelids as it may result in overdone look. Using your eyeshadow brush, give a washout of any subtle shade on your entire eye lid.  I have chosen a light pink shimmery shade here.

  • For double shaded eye look, mix a dark shade with your light one.  Gently apply a dark brown or ash eyeshadow near the outer corner of your eyes and blend both colours carefully with a plain brush. I have used a choco brown shade from Deborah Milano Trio Eyeshadow set and a pink shade from the same one. The pink is a light milky shade with visible shimmers while the brown is deep and less shimmery.

  • After the eyeshadow application is done, line your eyes as usual with your eyeliner and use kohl to highlight your waterline as per you wish. If you are planning to apply a coloured eyeliner to the occasion, make sure to draw a thin line with your black eyeliner first on the upper lash line before lining with the colour eyeliner. This trick will define your eyes beautifully! Put mascara and allow it to dry (optional). Your eye makeup is done.

Lips and Cheeks

I have done the lip makeup very simple here. I didn't even line my lips as I was in hurry to step out. I have just put on my Deborah Milano long lasting lipstick shade 07 along with Nivea Glamorous Gloss Pink Sugar Lip Gloss. Wearing a lip liner before putting on your lipstick is highly recommend. This will prevent bleeding of your lip colour.  I have used a light coral shaded blush from Nature's brilliance by sue here. Simply blend little amount of blush in your cheek apple, if necessary define your cheekbone.

Tit bit: Carry a compact and tinted lip balm on your handbag always. This will prevent your oily look and help you when your lipstick fades. Soft wiping tissues should also take place in your bag throughout the day.

Hoped your enjoyed this simple makeup tutorial. Do share your views and comments about it. Do also let us know if you have any particular makeup tip that you swear!

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Peach Review
Price: Rs. 580 for 3.7g

My Experience with Revlon Colorburst Lipstick
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick range is one of the very famous range. Packed in a standard twist plastic case, the case is all black with just the color indication on top of the cap. The cap has cross wires like mark which makes it very attractive.     

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Peach Review

Peach is one shade that is a perfect peach. No mixture of other colors is found in this shade. A very good color that all skin tone ladies can flaunt easily. Lipstick is very smooth and moisturizing. Since it is very creamy, it does not stay on for long. It puts up for a maximum of two hours. In spite of this low staying power, I am liking this range of lipstick.

Pros of Revlon Colorburst Lipstick:
  • Very smooth & moisturizing.
  • Value for money.
  • Easily available.

Deborah Milano Rossetto Atomic Red Lipstick Shade 07 Review and Swatches

Hello buddies! I am reviewing a lipstick from Deborah Milano called the Rossetto Atomic Red lipstick today. I got this lipstick a week ago and using it everyday to observe its goods and bads. Before going to the review, let us see few lines about the brand Deborah Milano. As per the site: Deborah Milano, the brand that embodies Italian Excellence since 1962 Description     Creativity, Glamour, Design and Fashion: In a nutshell, MILAN! But the same four words also describe the 2011 Style & Color range by DEBORAH, Italy's leading make- up brand. Deborah Milano, the brand that embodies Italian Excellence since 1962. Offering creativity, beauty, passion, attention to detail and superb taste. As well as that uncanny Italian knack for creating unique designs reflecting that complexity of craftsmanship at mass production prices, transformed by designer genius into amazing "Objects you want to touch. 

Deborah Milano Rossetto Atomic Red Shade 07



Price: Rs.560

Product Description
Lipstick with a luminous, silky finish.
Innovative formula produces pure, vibrant colour. Glides on easily and feels comfortable all day long

My View about this Lipstick
The lipstick comes in a very classy black metalic case which is firm and travel friendly. The colour is somewhat pink mixed with peach, has a sheen but it faces quickly giving a super matte effect. The fragrance is not at all over powering, it is mild and even sensitive noses will okay for it. The first time I used this lipstick, I got really impressed about how it spreads. It spreads smooth ans silky like a butter on my lips without any hardness. Soon after application, it covers imperfections greatly and goes opaque as it is highly pigmented. Staying power of this lipstick is also in a safer side. It stays for about 4 hours and fades eventually after that leaving a lovely pink stain. I just expected a little more staying power but this is perfectly okay because the texture is so creamy and smooth. There are many shades available in this range for you to choose one for your skin type. This is one of the best lipstick for dry lips and I recommend it highly to everyone who want a highly pigmented, long staying and cutely packed lipstick. 

 Swatches



PROS
  • Creamy and smooth consistency which is great for dry lips.
  • Shows a sheen at first but it disappears and give a perfect matte effect.
  • Many number of shades available. 
  • Staying power is pretty good. It leaves a lovely pink stain behind.
  • The case of the lipstick looks really very classy. No one can say no for this.
  • Fragrance is mild and bearable.
  • Sturdy packaging and hence easy to carry around.
  • Highly pigmented. It covers the imperfections and uneven tones.
  • Goes opaque with single swipe. The lipstick is shiny too.
  • Smooth and silky finish as per the claim.

CONS
I just expected a little more staying power (Greedy me ) :P

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

My Recommendation: If you are looking out for a highly pigmented, creamy but yet matte lipstick go for it. You will surely love this lipstick for it's shade too. The would shade perfectly suits all skin types I guess. A great buy for dry lips.

Will I repurchase?: Yes! But other shades from this range. A single lipstick will last longer.

Colour, Texture and Fragrance
The whole range of these lipsticks is entirely different. This Silken Peach one I got looks deep peach mixed with slight pink in colour, with tiny peach glitters in it. I can hardly see the glitters though. It has a very smooth texture and a lovely vanilla + chocolate fragrance which is so sweet and romantic!

Faces Glam On Lipstick in Silken Peach Shade Review and Swatches

How it works on Me
Sorry, I am not showing the swatch on my lips due to my laziness as usual :D but I do have a lot to say about this peach lipstick. It glides onto my lips so smoothly without any hardness and gives a opaque effect with just 2 swipes. The lipstick is highly pigmented and super peachy in colour. A great boon to dusky and dark beauties yippee! The fragrance is so yummy and stays for a hour or so, after that no fragrance but the colour stays for decently time of 5 to 6 hours even with mild food intake. If used with a primer, you can expect it all day long! It gives a semi glossy finish which is also satisfying but the only thing I wanted is some moisturizing power because it doesn't moisturize at all, it doesn't dry out as well. But dry lips will need a lip balm before applying it. Overall, a nice peachy shade with a lovely choco vanilla fragrance and great staying power. Love it!
4.5/5

Hey don't forget to read the Faces Glam on Eyeshadow Duo HERE. I am sure you will love it too!

PROS
  1. Lovely Peachy shade which I admire most!
  2. Spreads on my lips like silk. No hardness in applying.
  3. Gives a fuller lip effect, the shade goes opaque with just 1 or 2 swipes.
  4. Great staying power.
  5. The range has so many different shades to try.
  6. A single pack lasts longer so the  price can't be consired as a con.
  7. Sturdy packaging, hence travel friendly.
  8. Super duper Choco Vanilla fragrance. No one can hate it. 
  9. Highly pigmented, gives a nice coverage.
  10. Dusky skins will love it!
CONS
  1. Need some moisturizing power. This lipstick might be drying for extremely dry lips.
Recommendation: Surely a beautiful peach shade. I highly recommend. Dry lips will need a lip balm though.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5 

Will I repurchase?: Sure! The peach shade suits my dusky skin well.
