Makeup revolution iconic pro lipstick in looking ahead

I have been feeling really down lately, so it’s quite hard to write down a blog post when one is feeling so unmotivated

These lipsticks have been quite rage in the blogging community so when these became available in Pakistan I bought one for myself, approximately two months ago and I have been using it ever since

Price : £2.49 or 395 pkr

Quantity : 3.8 g

Packaging:

This look very exactly like M.A.C lipstick , now I don’t happen to own a single lipstick by M.A.C but from the pictures I have seen on other blogs they are similar the only difference being that they are rose gold instead of silver

The packaging is not quite sturdy but for the price you cant really complain

About the product 

This is by far the creamiest lipstick I have tried.it smells strongly of vitamin E but once the lipstick is applied on the lips the smell gradually becomes less noticeable. My lipstick unfortunately arrived broken (looks wobbly in the picture) but I fixed it using a cigarette lighter 

Looking ahead is a brown shade lipstick with red undertones, for some odd reason it translates greyish brown on my lips (weird right???) so for me its not an easy shade to pull off with every colored dress

It is very pigmented once swipe gives off a decent amount of color to the lips however lasting power is not that good it stays on my lips for about 2-3 hours maximum without eating or drinking .  it leaves a plumy brown colored tint on my lips after the lipstick has worn off

I might purchase a couple of other shades from the range 

My rating 

I rate these 3.5 out of 5

Makeup revolution lip lava in tremor

Liquid lipsticks are quite rage these days as they stay longer on the lips. Many brands have launched liquid lipsticks in various formulations ranging from matte to glossy

This makeup revolution lip lava is actually a dupe of the famous too faced melted lipsticks in shade peony

Quantity: 12ml

Price: 500pkr

Packaging:

Color coded squeeze tube with a black cap. It has a fuzzy nozzle like end for the even distribution of product on the lips 

About the product:

It’s a dusty nude pink lipstick which has a creamy texture. When applied on the lips the formula changes into a semi matte texture

My thoughts:

This a smudge proof/budge proof product once applied on the lips its quite a task to remove it.(I had trouble removing it with soap and water ) The lipstick lasts a very long time. One think that I didn’t like was that it accentuates the lines the on lips or the flaky patches on the lip so exfoliating your lips before the application is necessary else it looks quite gross

this particular shade can look washed out on wheatish/olive skin so I would recommend this shade for girls with fair to pale skin. It has no scent and feels comfortable on the lips

You might like it:

If you like long lasting lipsticks

You are looking for a too faced melted lipstick dupe

You like matte lipsticks

You might not like:

It accentuates lines on the lips

It can be a bit drying on the lips

My rating 3.5 out of 5

Wet n wild megalast lipstick

Wet n wild is a very affordable American drugstore brand. for the past few years their megalast lipstick has taken the makeup and beauty blogging world by storm. Curious what all the hype was all about I too bought one lipstick when I saw it on sale at just4girls.pk

Shade: In the flesh

Price:  variable price ranging from 450-600 depends on the seller

Quantity:3.3 g

About the packaging:

It’s the usual plastic casing with a clear lid on top I found the packaging a lot sturdier than the Makeup Revolution and MUA lipsticks. The lid does not slides off the lipstick 

About the product:

In the flesh a my lips but better kind of shade its deep nude brick brown  shade with red undertones if that makes any sense.i find it quite similar in texture to Medora matte lipsticks (local brand) the only difference between the two is that Medora lipstick’s have a strong chemical smell to them while wet n wild has no scent at all.

Lately I have become quite sensitive to strong scent so I have stopped wearing Medora lipsticks but if you compare this Wet N Wild Megalast lipstick to Medora matte lipstick I see no difference

Pigmentation wise both are intensely pigmented. I found this lipstick drying in winter(its matte so obviously) however it glides on lips quite smoothly in summer

Lasting power is decent, this lipstick lasts on my lips for about 5-6 hours if I don’t eat or drink but when eating it rubs off leaving behind a stain

I would suggest exfoliating your lips before applying as it’s dry texture can enhance the lines and dead skin on the lips(not a pretty sight trust me)

Wet n wild Megalast lipstick comes in a lot of shades. I am thinking about purchasing "mauve out of here" and "pinkerbell" next

Pros :

Affordable

Intensely pigmented

Scentless

Cons:

The lid gets dirty very easily it gets lipstick all over it somehow

Matte lipstick sometime hard to apply however this can be fixed by using a lipbalm underneath

My rating :

I rate this 4 out 5

My summer essentials

Girls summer is on and the sun is blazing in its full glory. Summer is all about watermelon, peaches plum mangoes yummy!!  And of course the power outage which keep our sweat glands functional. And then can how can I forget the darling mosquitoes who sing sweet lullaby all night long and bite us to death

I thought about sharing my summer essentials for this year

MAKEUP:

It’s impossible for me to wear foundation in summer when I know all of my makeup is going to run down my face mixed with sweat

So I keep it simple by applying a thin layer of pressed powder the one I am using currently is by Maybelline read the review here

For lipstick I opt for a nude lip gloss or sometimes coral lipstick or a lip balm

For blusher: a coral blusher is my choice 

I like to use a pop of color on my lids colossal kajal by Maybelline in turquoise is what I use

Scent: 

I like to use this deodorant by fa. it has a very feminine scent and has a long lasting power also I does not stains the clothes

For skin care:

I like to use this peel off cucumber mask by freeman. So refreshing

For my nails

I find these nail paints quite bright and summer-y

That’s all!!  what are your summer essentials tell me in the comment box below
