Sweet touch England Matte Lipstick in shade 730

Sweet touch England is a local pakistani brand which has a lot of great makeup products in their arsenal. They are currently stocked up at makeup city and few other well known retailers across the country.

Today I am reviewing a matte lipstick 💄 by them which has a slight pearl finish. I have been attracted to metallic lipsticks for a fairly long time but no sadly when ever i tried out a metallic lipstick on my  👄  it turned out quite horrible. See the lipstick settled into the fines lines and made my lips look like dried up prunes. Ewww not the look I have in mind. But this matte lipstick by sweet touch England made my dream come true.

This lipstick has a matte finish so its slightly drying on the lips but the formula does not drags on the lips , rather the bullet  glides with easy. The color is a beautiful slightly metallic pink/rosy shade. The color is opague so one swipe completely conceals  the original lip color. I am happy to tell you guys that this lipstick does not settle into the fine lines at all. This has a good lasting power. 6-7 hrs without eating or drinking.

This has a pink mauve-y cover with a silver twist up casing. The cap shuts firmly so no fear of lipstick all over in the purse .

In case of eating this leaves behind a stain.

I have a few shades on my wish list already so expect a big haul post when I visit makeup city.

Jordana Matte Lipstick in shade Natural

I am always on a hunt for a nude/neutral everyday mlbb lipstick. Even though i do have a holy grail shade in my collection by makeup revolution called treat i am a bit disappointed by its staying power so my current goal is to find a lip product which matches my lip color and stays for 8+ hours

Matte formula tend to stay on the lips more than satin/hydrating lipsticks that's why I purchase this lipstick by Jordana in the shade natural

Price 1.5$ (in Pakistan from 250-400 Pkr)

Packaging:

 This is the most disappointing part because the packaging is absolutely fragile and cheap( my 1£ makeup revolution lipsticks have way more sturdier packaging). The plastic casing looks like its going to break easily. moreover some part  of the lipstick remains out of the tube so one has to be extra careful not to smash or injure the bullet when taking off the transparent cap

About the lipstick:

Onto the best part. Though the Casing was a bummer the product inside is amazing. The lipsticks is nude brown with a. Slight Peach/orange tinge. The texture is smooth and semi matte. I glides on the lips easily without accentuating dry spots or lines. As its not completely matte the formula does not dry out the lips. Lasting power is 5 hrs without eating anything.

I am comparing this lipstick with my favourite nude lipstick by makeup revolution

Jordana is an American drugstore cosmetics brand which has been making very  good quality affordable makeup, it was officially launched in Pakistan two years ago but for some unknown reasons they are priced exorbitantly so my advice is to either order them from a Facebook page or buy them for beautyjoint directly I will be purchasing a couple nor lipsticks from the same brand soon

My Favorite Makeup and Skincare Products of Year 2016

I know i am quite late to post my last year favourites but as they say better late than never so without further explanation here it is "My year 2016 favorite products"
Drumroll ☺

 Face

I am currently rotating two foundations in my makeup routine but the one which I particularly Enjoyed using was  this past year was holika holika sweet cotton bb cream. Its light in weight, smells like cotton candy and has very natural finish

Blush 

: MUA blush in Marshmallow  My fondness for this blush remains strong and I haven't found any blush which can replace this gem

Makeup Revolution matte effect concealer: this yellow based concealer is creamy and does not accentuates dry under eye area

Lips:

 Clazona matte Lipgloss
The local dupe of colorpop matte liquid lipsticks. Amazing lasting power and great pigmentation

Mua lip trio in temptress : I really like the balm like texture of the lipsticks and how one could create a sheer to very defined pout with these. Definitely one of most used makeup product of 2016

Eye shadow: the mos beautiful earth toned eyeshadow palette by MUA in shade Heaven and Earth

Eyeliner:
 Essence dip eyeliner  is by far the best liquid liner I have ever used. The felt dip is so soft and sturdy to line up the eyes. Its not waterproof but I like the formula

Mascara:
Essence Get Big Lashes

Gives the best volume  and length ever to the lashes I haven't found any other last which could perform as great as this mascara

Eyebrows :
 Sweet touch eyeliner pencil. This is long lasting pencil eyeliner which I use to fill in my eye brows. It does the job well and gives subtle definition to my eyes 👀

MUA pro base eye primer

and  Maybelline colossal kajal in turquoise 

for days when you want a little drama, this twist up eyeliner is the best option.

Face wash:

Duvi Stockholm green tea face wash 

I really enjoyed using this face wash all year long. It smells so good, lather well and cleansed skin without over drying it

Facemask:
 Sheet mask cracare best ever 

Of all the Korean sheet masks I used last year. This one without any doubt was the best. I moisturized my face well, didn't break out my skin. Brightened my complexion and smell nice too

Freeman oatmeal mask : To battle off my oily skin I used this mud mask. It performs quite well and reduces my pores appearance
 also kept the oil production under control too

 Face moisturizer :

 Oriflame tea tree

Having an over active skin which keeps on producing frightful amount of oil I rarely use moisturizer as it means clogged pores and comedones but this moisturizer gets absorbed into the skin immediately without leaving any. Sticky or oily residue behind

Circle lens :
Diamond green lens

Very vibrant. The design is beautiful and very comfortable to wear.
So these are all the products I enjoyed using last year
 lets see which new products will make it to the favorites list this year

Essence sheer and shine lipstick in BFF 03

 for the past few years the Revlon lip-butters have been quite popular among the you-tubers and the whole beauty community, despite the fact that Revlon is a drugstore brand the lip-butters are quite expensive in  here in Pakistan 

 a couple of years forward essence has come up with the sheer and shine lipsticks which are  similar in texture and pigmentation, also a lot affordable 

the sheer and shine lipstick has a wide variety of shades from sheer nudes to reds and pinks
i personally love wearing lipsticks having sheer formula as they require less effort during application, are hydrating give fresh and youthful look to the face 

Quantity:3.8 g

price 360 pkr

packaging:

this lipstick has a silver casing and a transparent lid similar to the shade to lipstick which makes it easier to locate in your makeup bag when in a hurry 
i feel that the casing  makes the lipstick look more expensive/ high end 

about the product :

BFF is a very beautiful watermelon pink/red colored lipstick. it is very sheer but the color is build able on multiple swipes, texture wise its like a lip-balm and hydrating 
the staying power however is poor it lasts for only two hours on the lips (average time a lip balm lasts on the lips) other thing that bothered me about this lipstick is the scent it has a strong vitamin E scent which is quite a turn off for me as i am quite sensitive to scents 

i purchased this lipstick from beautybar.pk 

you might like it:

if you like tinted lip-balms
you have chapped lips
you are starting out with makeup

you might not like it :

if you are looking for long lasting lipstick
you are sensitive to scents

i rate this product 3.5 out of 5

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
