The Moisturizing Matte

Hello,
Long time, no see. I know I know. I didn't post on Friday, for which I apologize. See, my cousin was here, and we were on holiday, and since I've been pretty regular about my blogging schedule during my 2 week holiday, I just thought I'd take a day off. So I did. But the holidays over now, reality has set in and a blogpost is here. :D
I thought the name for this post was pretty apt, but then I realized its pretty much what these lipsticks are called. The L'oreal Colour Riche Moisture Matte Lipstick are exactly what they say they are. A moisturizing matte lipstick. If you're someone who doesn't like the dry feeling of a matte lip, these are for you.
They're are soft. Completely opaque on application, leave your lips feeling moisturized and stay on for hours and hours! Seriously. These are awesome.
The only not so awesome thing? They cost INR 899, which is steep, but for these, I'd pay that price and then some.
And the packaging? Love!
I currently own only Raspberry Syrup, but I have a strange feeling I've found my "cannot live without it" Lipstick formula. THAT GOOD.
Still not convinced? JUST LOOK AT IT!

Buy it. Even if you don't like mattes. You'll love this. I assure you. 

A New Addiction

Lip Products. Previously my least used Makeup Product. Actually, let me rephrase, Lipsticks were my least used product... did you notice the "were"?
I've always loved my lip balm, so much so that I have entire post dedicated to it. However, over the course of the year (yes! Its been a year!) that I've had this blog, I've discovered a whole new type of lip product, what works, what doesn't... and it really helps that there have been some cracker lipstick releases!

First and most obvious one so far, MAC Matte/Retro Matte Lipsticks - Ruby Woo was my first love, and though its a great red, I don't wear it enough. Velvet Teddy is a great nude, Rebel (satin) is the best colour ever, regardless of season or occasion, and the brights... Don't even get me started, although I will say two words - Relentlessly Red.
I have safely dubbed the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams as the best lip product ever, but a very very close contender is the L'oreal Matte Lipsticks (I have Raspberry Syrup - a great dupe for MAC's All Fired Up, I hear), moisturizing and creamy, while being matte and clinging onto your lips forever and ever, I really want a few more of these - Lincoln Rose, I'm coming for you. 
Lets not forget this whole chubby stick phenomena, starting with the Clinique Chubby Sticks Intense (Curviest Caramel being an almost identical dupe for Velvet Teddy, let me tell you) and ending with the latest Revlon Colourburst Matte Balms which are unparalleled in terms of ease of application and on the go touch ups.
What's next? Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets? A few more L'oreal Matte Lipsticks, maybe even a gloss or two? Stunned? So am I.

What are your favorite lipstick formulas?

Night Out #6

Another weekend, some more going out, though, this week has been chaotic. Ever since I came back from Delhi, my cousin and I have been going out non stop, there's been a good amount of drinking (coming from a teetotaler, its ridiculous, but oh well you're 22 once right?) a lot of eating, and plentiful opportunities to dress up.
A new favorite of mine is the Bold Lip, which I've been sporting non stop - but more about that soon. For this night, I went with a pretty basic look, Bourjois Happy Light Foundation all over the face, with a bit of Bobbi Brown Corrector under the eyes. Some Chanel Loose Powder to set everything together.
For eyes, I went with MAC's Sable (really, best eyeshadow ever.. if that is a possibility), some Maybelline Gel liner and Max Factor 2000 Calorie Curved Mascara. 
And my favorite part - the lips. MAC's Relentlessly Red (new acquisition) which lasts through food, makeup remover and 8 hours of sleep. Impressed? I am.

Also, can we just discuss the little detailing in the dress I'm wearing? Its from Forever21, one of my few Delhi purchases. Just look at it... I'm in love.

So, this was quick, what do you think? :)
