Makeup revolution water proof liquid eyeliner





There used to be a time when I used to love liquid eyeliners but then I developed infection on the lids due to sharing my makeup . note to self never share makeup products which have a creamy or liquid-y texture as it spreads infection, from that day on ward I have been using pencil eyeliners as it can be sharpened before every application reducing changes of getting an infection but recently I have been yearning to try the winged eyeliner trend blame taylor swift here . so I purchased a liquid eyeliner

Quantity: 3ml

Price: 300 pkr




Packaging

  I was very disappointing by the small size of the tube    ( I am used to holding long thick eyeliner tubes by essence) but comforted myself by the fact it will be quite handy to carry in a clutch . black plastic somewhat conical shape

My thoughts:
This is the most disappointing product I have used by makeup revolution so far. A liquid Eyeliner must have two things 

1.    A good workable formula
2.    A good firm applicator

This eyeliner lacks both of the properties it is by no mean waterproof the formula does not dries fast and the applicator is a transition between a brush and felt tip. its terrible, hard and scratchy. I had to use an angled brush to apply it on my eyes



You might like it:
If you don’t have any other choice

You might not like it:

It hurts the eye
The applicator is hard
The formula is not waterproof


         Will I repurchase it ??
Never there are better  liquid eyeliners in the  market

 My rating :

I rate this 1 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
