MAC Lipstick O on deep skintone

I have already written about MAC's Odyssey. Today I am writing my experience with another Frost finish lipstick from MAC called "O". Yes it's just "O". I never tried this on me but ordered online after looking at some swatches.

Price & Quantity: $16 for 3g/ 0.1 US oz

Color & Texture: MAC describes this as Purplish-red with golden pearl and frost finish. I thought it would actually a kind of red. But when I opened the pack I was disappointed by it's dark bronze color. But I fell in love when I swatched at the back of my hand. On my skin to me it didn't look or have a tiniest bit of red. It was more of bronze plum shade. When i wipe the lipstick off it came off as plum color. Funny isn't it looks different in tube than when applied and removed. When it transfers on cups it comes off as plum.

I am a NC 45 in MAC and it compliments my skin tone very well although I am not a huge fan of brown lipsticks. I remember seeing this in store and I would never even in dreams try the swatch to see the color on me. I am liking this lipstick.

The lipstick has shimmery particles to it, decent coverage in single swipe unlike satin or sheen finish lipsticks. The copper bronze shimmer color goes well on deep skintone. If you have dry lips you would want to have a layer of lip balm underneath. I did a mistake here, I did my eyes and applied the lipcolor last. My eye makeup does not go well with this lipcolor. To fix it I then applied some blush over my cheeks to balance it.

The color looks so pretty in pictures and in light. I totally loved wearing it to work with my pale pink sweater. It lasted for 3 - 4 hours and then I reapplied post my meal. This is a different color than regular brown, red, purple and pinks. I am going to use this from time to time for a change.

MAC Technakohl Eyeliner - Superfly Review

Couple of day's before Thanksgiving received a newsletter from MAC about their Technakohl Liners.
I already have several colored liner's was in search of smudge proof liner's so thought of buying black liner. MAC Black liner in this collection is called Superfly. All the shades in the new launch are brilliant and vivid.

Quantity & Price: $16 for 0.35 g/0.012 US oz

About the liner - Superfly : I read reviews on their old collection, and people had written it as water proof. I bought Superfly online so I could try it on only after I got the shipment. People had mentioned about Graphblack but unfortunately that was not available and hence I bought Superfly. It comes in a twist/retractable tube, which I liked.

MAC describes this as a "Mechanical pencil-style liner. In formula, soft and creamy, with an intense, rich, colour deposit. Blends on application: dries quickly to a long wear non-smudge finish. Versatile. An easy way to line the top and lower lash line of the eye. When applied at a 90 degree angle, provides as thin precise line. For a thinker application, apply at a flat angle."

My Experience: On the pack or on the liner itself I did not see water proof or smudge proof anywhere. Superfly is a soft black color, not intense black. Application is easy, I had to run over twice to get the desired finish. I had eye primer underneath and it stayed well for straight 10 hours. I am yet to test in hot climate. It's water proof too. you would need a cleanser or eye makeup remover to take it off.

I am thinking of buying their Graph black too, it's now available on MAC's website. I am so obsessed with their Lipsticks and now Eye liners :)

Below are the swatches and liner on my eyes. Again, I am no expert on lining my eyes :)

MAC Sized to Go Tinted LipGlass - Rebel on Indian skintone

Today I am going to write my first experience with MAC Lipglass Rebel. I already have the most applauded Rebel Lipstick and absolutely love it. I am not a huge fan of Lip Gloss. I got an email from MAC about their Sized to Go Tinted Lipglasses which are travel friendly. I thought of giving a try as it's only 10 dollars. I ordered Rebel and Love Child online without trying.

Price & Quantity: $10 for 2.4 g / 0.8 US oz

About Rebel Lipglass: It's the same color as their Rebel Lipstick. It comes in a small plastic tube. Nothing classy about the case though. The gloss is sticky in the tube and not watery. Although in tube it looks very dark but it's a beautiful deep berry/grape shade. It's wearable by all skin tones although the results look different from fair to deep skin tone. The gloss is very sheer when applied by itself, build able to a opaque coverage with few layers. It's shiny without glitters which I like. The shine wears off soon. On my lips I didn't feel the gloss sticky like many other glosses I have used.

You would want to have a layer of lipstick or lip liner color underneath to have a lasting color. I didn't had MAC Currant Lip liner which is the perfect match for this so substituted with Lakme Black Currant(12). I am yet to try this with MAC Rebel Lipstick. It lasted for 3 - 4 hours leaving behind the bottom color.

If you are not a gloss person but looking to add some shine to your lipstick, then go for this. I wouldn't wear this gloss by itself.

MAC Lush life Vs All Out Gorgeous

Hello Everyone,

You might have some confusion with certain colors from MAC. Although at first glance the colors look similar in tube. MAC has several such colors in all it's collection. You might fond this helpful. I have compared two shades here. I will continue writing more such posts.

Both these lipsticks from MAC are similar in texture and everything. They belong to Mineralize Rich Lipstick collection. There is very slight variation between these two lipsticks. The difference is visible in the swatch. However on my lips you can make it out on close observation. For your information I am matched to MAC NC45.

Here I have posted my comments on individual posts.

Burberry Weekend EDP for Indian weather

Hi Gals !

Burberry Weekend fragrance is my second favorite perfume after Burberry London. I bought a 35ml bottle from a mall in India after trying the tester.

I am sorry I do not remember the price I bought it for. I wanted to start writing about the perfumes I use for several months and finally I am when the perfumes are getting over lol...It means I really like these fragrances.

The perfume comes in a classy check patterned glass bottle. You can see that in the pictures.

As I mentioned before I am not very familiar with the notes in a perfume, but can tell mild, pleasant or strong smell. Here is what Burberry has to say about it's notes:

A sheer fragrance with top notes of tangerine, tree sap and Reseda plant. Delicate floral heart notes of wild rose, peach blossom, iris and hyacinth, invigorated by a subtle splash of nectarine. The low notes of cedar wood and sandalwood add depth for a relaxed and fresh scent.

About the fragrance:
It's fresh, feminine, classy and suitable for all age group. As it's EDP it lasts longer than 6 hours on me and can smell the scent on clothes too I wear it to work, even in India on hot summer days. It's a anytime wear.

Burberry Body EDT Review

I have been a huge fan of Burberry ever since I first used Burberry London perfume.
After that I tried Burberry Touch followed by Weekend and then was looking for Body collection.
Oh my it was out of my budget in India, so settled for the 35 ml EDT.

I am sorry as I am not sure about the price at this point, and each websites have their own price.

The bottle looks beautiful, and it comes in a nice classy package as per Burberry's Standard.
It's a multi-faceted glass bottle with silver colored embossed check lid. This looks nice on the dressing table even if it's empty :) It's going to be 10 months since I bought this and no longer have the outer pack for pictured. As you can see I have almost finished this and in the hunt for the next one.

I am not very familiar with the notes in a perfume, but can tell mild, pleasant or strong smell. Here is what Burberry has to say about it's notes:

A light and fresh interpretation of the iconic Burberry Body Eau de Parfum fragrance
Fresh green apple complements green absinthe and illuminating peach
Floral heart notes are infused with a new aroma of seductive tea
Warm base notes of woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla and amber

The smell is not over powering, it's sweet and doesn't cause a headache to anyone.
The fragrance lingers on my moisturized pulse points for good 8 hours during winter and 4 - 5 hours on summer. Some times I just spritz on my clothes.

If you want to upgrade yourself to a nice perfume brand with pleasant smell, you can go for this. Pick yourself a 35 ml EDT it lasts for months.

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick - Quite the thing on Indian Skintone

While looking at the swatches from MAC Sheen Supreme Collection I liked few of their colors.
Being a big fan of plum colors, I added Quite the thing to my wishlist and bought couple of months later without even trying.

Price & Quantity: $18 for 3.6 g / 0.12 US oz in US

Color & Texture: This lipstick shade name does not give a slightest clue on the color :) It's a cool dark pinkish plum color. It looks as if it's a frost finish lipstick from tube but it's not. It's smooth on application, with the vanilla fragrance. It's sheer and looks like glossy lip balm on single swipe. You can build it up to get a opaque look with couple of layers.It has very fine shimmery particles that does not show off. It's not sticky and feels light on lips.

It's lasting power is less compared to their Satin/Matte finish lipsticks. The glossiness wears off soon in couple of hours. With opaque layers, the color lasts on me for 3 - 4 hours and after that the stain remains on my lips. I would have had several coffees and a meal by then. I re-apply post lunch so that I have it back for the rest of the day.

Below is the pictures of lipstick and how it looks on me. Sorry for the poor lighting.

This is a pretty dark pink color, suitable for all Indian skin tones. If you like dark pink or plum and shine this is for you. Some prefer to wear such colors during winter, to me it does not matter :) 

Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict - Berry Rose on deep skintone

Hello lovely girls,

Today I am reviewing another lipstick from the Lakme Gloss Addict collection called Berry Rose.
I have used it several times now but haven't had a chance to write as I started this blog last month.

About Lakme Gloss Addict Berry Rose:
As you all know all lipsticks from this range has a glossy finish with smooth buttery texture as the name emphasize. It's absolutely true with one exception the coverage varies from color to color. The lipstick case is a classy glass tube which is pretty and like about these lipsticks. The tube  has some mechanism that locks the lipstick down when you twist down with a click.

Price & Quantity : 4ml Rs.700 in Purplle and Rs.800 in Flipkart. I bought in Purplle few months ago for Rs560 with some discount in Purplle.

Color & Texture:
Berry Rose is a beautiful pale pink shade at least for me. It's goes very smooth on application with the buttery texture. Most often it's a mess due to it's texture it slips off my lip line. I some time apply lightly from the tube and use my finger and lips to blend it all over my lips. You can also lip brush to fill your lips if your are comfortable. A thin layer of this lipstick looks like having a lip balm with good glossy look. The glossiness wears out in less than 30 minutes. The good thing is it does not dry out my lips nor feel sticky. Coverage is not great if you have pigmented lips.

Wear time is too short less than 3 hours. I wouldn't mind reapplying when this keeps your lips hydrated. It transfers on cups easily due to its texture and would lose color soon.

This suits almost all Indian skintone from fair to deep skintone. This can be worn any time during the day or night.

Here is the swatch of the lipstick. You can see how sheer it is with single swipe. 

This is how it looks on me.

MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick - So Good on Indian skintone

Hello Girls !

MAC Mineralize rich lipsticks have become so popular and have received positive feedback in the past several months. I already have two of them and have posted my feedback about Lush Life and All out gorgeous. I picked up a different color this time called "So Good" as I could not find any grape/purple shade in this collection.

Price & Quantity: 3.6 g (0.12 Oz) costing $22. Think it's Approx.Rs 1650 in India . MAC regular lipsticks costs $16. Mineralize rich lipsticks are pricey making it the only disadvantage.

Color & Texture:

In tube it looked a bit like Fuchsia Pink. When I tried a swatch on back of my hand it looked like cool magenta which was beautiful. On my lips it appears like a deep magenta color. You might find So Good similar to Rebel but it's not. I will add another post comparing both these colors. So Good comes in the chubby lipstick case and looks classy. The lipstick has mild Vanilla fragrance like many other MAC lipstick has which vanishes soon after you apply. It's so smooth on application, great pigmentation and coverage on single swipe. You can build it up to more intense Magenta with multiple swipes. I used a lip brush this time. The finish has slight gloss/shine to it which goes off in an hour. It doesn't dry your lips.

It's staying power is pretty good too. I had it on for around 5 hours. I had several coffee and water too. It didn't transfer much which is a good think.I didn't had to reapply after lunch the color stain was there throughout the day.

I wore a deep green sweater and did green eyes, I think I over did with this bright lipstick. I will try to keep my eye makeup minimal when I wear this lipstick again.

Makeup:
Primed & applied concealer
Foundation & Setting powder
Eye liner & shadow with mascara
Lipstick without liner

MAC Odyssey Lipstick on Indian Skintone

Hello Gorgeous !

I spend some time in one of the MAC Stores nearby in my place and tried several swatches of plum / purple shades. I liked few of them but finally bought Odyssey which has a frosty finish. I liked Plumful, Plum Dandy, Amorous :) and Newyork Apple. All these colors looks different on swatches on our hand and on lips. Let's see how this one fared.

Price & Quantity : $16 for 3g approx. Rs.950 - Rs.990

Color & Texture:
As the name say it has a frost finish with less moisture. It's a nice color between pink & Purple suitable for all skintones. Although the outcome vary from fair to deep skintone. It's smooth, does not settle in line and gives pretty decent pigmentation in single swipe. It's not too glittery or shiny unlike other frost finish colors from MAC. I just loved the color and enjoyed wearing it to Church last Sunday morning. I paired this with long winter dress as it's cold out here.
I like this is as anytime wear day or evening, summer or winter.

The wear time is too short. You might find your lips dry if you do not have a thin layer of balm underneath before applying this lipstick.

Everything being said and done, this would be a great color to wear to work everyday for Indian Women who is so afraid of all bright and dark colors. This goes on with any attire so go grab your lipstick now if you are looking for one all time time :)

This is how Odyssey looks on me under different lighting.

Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict - Very Berry on deep skintone

Hello Ladies !

I have already written couple of posts on other shades from Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Collection. I have bought all of them online without trying out in a store. Although Very Berry is a pretty pink shade it doesn't go well with deep skin tone.

Price (4 ml): I paid 560 on Purplle after 15% discount. They still sell for 700 whereas in Flipkart its 800.

Color & Texture:
It's a bright pink shade according to me. Like other shades from Gloss Addict this too has a buttery texture. My lipstick fell and I made a mess after that I could not succeed with a smooth application and never bothered to try with a lip brush. As a result of this it always settles in lip lines and if your lip is not exfoliated well it does settle in fine lines anyway.  This is a great day time wear for Summer however it's your personal preference.

It's like a balm in single swipe you can make it out from the swatches below. This does not go well on deep skin tone, I am matched to NC 45 of MAC. It would look marvelous on fair to medium skin tone. To bring color you might want to do several swatches.

It does not stay longer, has a maximum wear time of 2 - 3 hours. Does moisturizes your lips, not sticky. The gloss disappears in less than 30 minutes.

If asked I would rate it as average compared to it's other shades from this collection.

MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick - Lush Life on deep skintone

Hello Ladies!

This is my second lipstick from the MAC Mineralize Rich Lipsticks Collection. I have worn it few times times now so here goes my feedback about it.

Lush Life comes in a neat nice package. This lipstick case looks chubbier than their regular ones and it's base has magnet attached which ensures the cap is intact while closed.

Price : 22 USD for 3.6 gm [It's bit pricey for extra .6 gms compared to their other 3g lipsticks :( ]

Color & Texture:

I am not good at describing the lipstick color tones. To me at first when I opened it looked like a nice dark pink. When you apply it kind of looks like red but it's not. It's a deep pinky berry or plum color. As far as texture is concerned it's smooth like butter on application. It has the mild vanilla fragrance which disappears quickly. Even one swipe gives a nice rich color which you can build on. It has that shiny glossy finish and keeps your lips moisturized. I didn't feel my lips are dry even during Winter. I have the habit of cleaning my lips everyday and apply a thin layer of lip balm before applying lipsticks.

The color looks just nice on medium to dark skin tone.It lasts for good 5 - 6 hours without a meal and leaves behind the trace of color after that. 

I am not sure how to use and store the lipstick in Indian Humid weather afraid if it would melt. As far as in US I didn't have to store in the refrigerator.

Eyes - Eye Shadow - Neutral shade from Maybelline Nude Palette
         - Eye Liner - Black pencil liner
         - Mascara
Face - Foundation: Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup (Ginger-23 )

MAC On Hold - Red Lipstick on Medium to Dark skintone

Hi pretty girls out there!

I am happy to write about another red lipstick from MAC called 'On Hold' (Creme Sheen). This one is from the same MAC Pro Lip Palette - 6 Editorial Reds.

Price: $16 in USA and Approx Rs.960 to Rs.1000

Color & Texture:

MAC calls this a mid tone yellow raspberry. I would call this as soft red :) funny. It's a creme sheen lipstick meaning it's supposed to have a sheer finish. But in actual it gives decent coverage in couple of swipes single layer alone. It's so smooth on application, does not settle in lines and has mild fragrance which vanishes immediately. I could feel it only while applying. It's moisturizing and did not dry out my lips. This suits dusky Indian skin tone too.

It stays for good 5 - 6 hours. I retouched it after my lunch which was after 6 hours since I wore it.  May be filling the lip with the same color pencil and applying two layers would give a longer lasting time. I haven't tried it that way yet. This is the first time I am wearing this color.

As I always write, when ever I wear red lipstick my personal rule is to have face makeup so that the lipstick speaks.

Below is the swatch:

I am on MAC On Hold Lipstick.

Face - Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in Place Makeup (Rich caramel - 5W2 )

         - Powder: Estee Lauder Lucidity Translucent Loose Powder (04 Medium deep)

Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipstick - Coffee Shot Review

Dear Ladies,

I am sure you have had love Lakme lipsticks and must be wondering to try the new collection or have already tried some. I didn't find any post about this shade so here it is. I bought this lipstick from Purplle Website and got it through offer for five hundred odd. I bought 6 shades from their Gloss Addict collection.

 Price : Rs.700 in Purplle and Rs.800 in Flipkart at the moment.

Quantity : 4 ml

Texture & Color: It looks like it has a frost finish and not very creamy unlike their other shades I used. It has a mild non bothering fragrance and disappears almost immediately. Coffee Shot as the name says is not really dark coffee brown when applied. When applied on dusky skin tone it almost appears like nude color with little shine. Not sure about fair complexion. Sometimes it might give a feeling of no lipstick. I would usually wear this on a casual day when I don't feel like doing makeup, or dull.

It lasts for around 2-3 hours leaving behind the slight tint of color and then you want to reapply. I am wearing this with just a Studio Fix powder, I just recovered from fever and for the cold weather here didn't feel like doing any real makeup.

Below are the swatches and the pictures of me wearing this lipstick.

I am not wearing any concealer or actual foundation in this except MAC Studio Fix Powder NC45.

Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict - Red Delight Lipstick Review

Hello Friends,

This is my first Red Red lipstick and I do not regret buying this. After Perfect Plum shade from Lakme's Absolute Gloss Addict this my second favorite among the 6 shades I own ( Berry Rose, Very Berry, Perfect Plum, Coffee Shot, Red Delight and Nude Glow). I bought all of them from Purplle sometime in May this year for discounted price it was a great deal. I didn't try any of these 6 shades directly bought online after looking at the swatches.

 Price : Rs.700 in Purplle and Rs.800 in Flipkart at the moment.

Quantity : 4 ml

Texture & Color:

It's a bright red color how ever do not have the same outcome on my skin as it was shown in the commercial worn by Kareena Kapoor. It's creamy and soft on application settles nice on the lip. A couple of swipes makes it opaque and you can build it up from there as you wish. It has the striking glossy effect which fades eventually. It does not stay. I usually use my finger or a brush to apply as I end up swiping outside my lip line most of the time due to the texture and the stick is so flat.

You can carry yourself well in confidence with a black liner on your eyes or smokey eyes which ever works best for you and a black/red dress. I usually pair this with Black dress/Shirt or white shirt. It looks so bold and sexy :)

It lasts for around 2 - 3 hours max leaving behind the slight tint of color and then you want to reapply. I fill my lips with a red lip pencil first apply two layers of lipstick to get the longevity of the color on my lips. I like wearing this during day and to work as well. Sadly it transfers to glass but can't help most of the lipsticks dose isn't.

Below are the swatches and the pictures of me wearing this lipstick.

Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipstick - Plum Perfect Shade Review

Hello Friends,

Perfect Plum shade from Lakme's Absolute Gloss Addict is a beautiful color. This my favorite among the 6 shades I own ( Berry Rose, Very Berry, Perfect Plum, Coffee Shot, Red Delight and Nude Glow). I bought all of them from Purplle sometime in May this year for discounted price it was a great deal.

 Price: Rs.700 in Purplle and Rs.800 in Flipkart at the moment.

Quantity: 4 ml

Texture & Color:

It's not really the dark plum but more pink and less plum blend together and comes out so nice on the lips. It's too soft on the lips and brings the glossy effect after applying which fades in less than an hour. If you want a intense pink you would want to go for couple more swipes. If you just want a lip balm feel use your fingers to fill the lips with this color. Either way it works for me. It keeps lips moisturized a bit.

It lasts for around 2 - 3 hours max leaving behind the slight tint of color and then you want to reapply. I have the habit of touching up my lipstick too after meals during office hours. If you don't you won't have a trace of lipstick. I like wearing this during day and to work as well. I carry the lipstick I use in the morning in my purse every time for a touch up lol.

Below are the swatches and the pictures of me wearing this lipstick. I have applied 2 - 3 swipes to bring the color. It's a must have shade for all girls.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss - Review (Brazen Berry, Wired Copper)

Hey beauties out there !

I thought of reviewing the lip glosses from one of the popular brands Estee Lauder. They have been applauded for their makeup. I got this lip gloss as part of their Limited Edition Color Portfolio Palette. I shall post pictures about the palette separately. These two lip glosses came along with that.

1. 04 - Brazen Berry (Shine)
2. 13 - Wired Copper (Shimmer)

As the name suggests one has shine and other has shimmery finish this can be identified through the glass itself. The outcome is very sheer, you can't actually make out the color. Although I have used them few times now, I am not very happy with these products. It's too sticky on lips though it dries out gradually. Do not have long wear power, I do not remember the hours but does not last beyond 4 hours. You would want to top it up.

I usually use them for days when I am in hurry or lazy makeup day where I don;t have to line my lips or apply lipstick. This comes in handy, goes with any dress without worry.

You might want to line your lips and fill with lip pencil before applying this gloss for a more bold look. I haven't tried though. If asked to rate I would give a 3/5.

I am wearing these lip glosses. Top 2 (Brazen Berry) and Bottom 2 (Wired Copper)

Unfortunately I am wearing Blue on both days, with the same blue eye makeup :)

Chambor Rouge Plum+ Lipstick 751 Shade review

Hello All,

I have been using this lipstick for close to a year not regularly though. Thought would write a review about it with pictures as there aren't any for this shade.

Chambor is a renowned brand in India and expensive too. I was then looking for lipsticks which moisturizes the lip yet stands out with color. This is my second lipstick from Chambor and I am totally loving it.

Price - I paid around Rs. 750 for 2.5 gm price seem to be over Rs. 800 now.

The lipstick color is a mauve with slight pink/purple combination. Texture is creamy, soft while applying and gives good coverage. It's highly moisturizing and has SPF 15. This shade suits well for almost all Indian skin tone making it a big plus. It brightens the face even if you do not wear face makeup. Has a good lasting power. Do not have the shiny glitters or glossy effect. Suitable for office.

Only sad thing about this is pricey for the quantity, but worth it when compared to Lakme Absolute Lipsticks. I am planning to buy couple more shades from this collection.

Below is the swatch of the lipstick and pictures of the case.

This is me wearing this lipstick.

MAC Pro Lip Palette / 6 Editorial Red - Swatches

Hello Everyone, MAC is known for it's popular red lip colors. They are pricey when purchased separately compared to the palette with 6 colors and 1 g of each, it's a best deal when most of us do not fully use a lipstick which is a waste of money. I ordered this online as they sell this palette only on Pro Stores here in US not sure about India.

The shades are pretty and I have posted separately pictures wearing each of these colors. The palette comes with three colors each of Matte and Creme Sheen finish.

 Price: 40 USD, 6g (1g per color)

The Palette comes in a travel friendly case, you can carry a retractable Lip brush with you. The Palette has the color names on it's base which is easier when you are unfamiliar to these colors as everything appears red.

All the colors are wearable to medium to dark skin ladies, except for Lady Danger. Wear it only if you can carry yourself with confidence as it's a bold Orange based Red.

This how the case looks.

Swatches

1. Lady Danger - Click here for pictures with this color.

MAC Lipstick - Lady Danger on Medium dark Indian Skin

Hi Beauties !!

This one is the last picture I have with MAC lipsticks, will continue when I have another picture for different shade. Many red lipsticks from MAC have been applauded and Lady Danger is one of those appraised lipsticks. 

I personally would not have purchased it; as it came along with the 6 Editorial Red palette I tried it on. I am not a huge fan of orange and have never worn one. The result wasn't disappointing though.

Lady Danger is a Orange based red. Has a matte finish, not suitable for dry lips. The color is beautiful however it doesn't stand out so much like other reds on medium to dark skin although it's wearable. It does not go with all colors of dress hence I paired with black dress and minimal eye makeup. 

It stays for 5 - 6 hours, even if you have a meal. It's a perfect daytime wear lipstick.  As it is matte try wearing a lip balm underneath. If you want to use a liner go for MAC Redd Lip pencil this is the exact match for this lipstick.

I would wear this occasionally with right dress and good mood :)

MAC Good To Be Bad Lipstick on Medium to Dark Indian Skintone

Hello gorgeous ladies !

Love yourself that's the key. This lipstick that I am going to talk about is MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick - Good to be bad. Isn't that a nice name for a lipstick shade :)

It comes in a nice round sleek case with magnetic base. Not just the case the shade too is beautiful on medium to deep skin tone. I was super excited to try it. I wore the next day I bought it :)

Price: 18 USD (3.6 g)

This is another perfect color for Fall / Winter. This is a deep burgundy color, like the name suggests it's not really sheer but yes moisturizing and glossy. It's super light and very much wearable. The texture is too buttery and makes it a bit difficult to apply inside your lips. It often goes outside my lip line and I use a tissue to wipe it off. It lasts for 4 - 5 hours and leaves behind the stain of the color.

Here is the lipstick swatch for you.

If you have medium to dark skin tone like me, try to pair it with warm color clothes.

As far as makeup goes I am wearing MAC Studio Fix on the right and Clinique Oil Free Matte finish foundation on the left. Eyes are neutral as I wanted the lip color to stand out.

MAC Lipstick - Cyber on medium to dark Indian skintone

Hi Everyone :),

Another lipstick from MAC. I have been writing about MAC and only MAC so far, wait there are so much stuffs in queue I just need to write a bit and post those pictures :) Lot of work ha ha ha.

I didn't actually go to by Cyber, it just happened. I owned a dark shade called "Grape Blossom" from Lakme it has matte finish and I liked it very well. That was almost getting over, although I was in the lookout for another similar shade I just bought Cyber after checking it's swatch on my hands. Cyber isn't exactly the shade of Grape Blossom though.

Price : $16 for 3 g.

Cyber is a perfect color for fall/winter it's purely my personal opinion. It's a deep dark purple shade if you are purple lover you will like this. It has a satin finish, easy to apply if your lips are well moisturized.

It gives a good coverage and stays on longer throughout the day. It would still have a the trace of the color even after a meal. It didn't dry out my lips. I loved wearing this with warm green colors. I don't think I look like a ghost ;) If you can carry a bold color like this, please do try. 

I did a green based eye makeup to match my dress and thus neutralizing the look.

MAC Lipstick All Out Gorgeous on medium dark Indian Skintone

Hi  Gals!

I was in search of MAC lipsticks that has rich moisturizing agent. I stumbled upon the lovely colors from their Mineralize Rich Lipstick collection. I fell in love with two colors All out gorgeous and Lush Life and I bought them without even trying. I will write a separate post on comparing these two shades..

All Out Gorgeous comes in a neat nice package. This lipstick case looks chubbier than their regular ones and it's base has magnet attached which ensures the cap is intact while closed.

Price : 22 USD for 3.6 gm

It's bit pricey for extra .6 gms compared to their other 3g lipsticks. The lipstick is a deep nice red color, very light and suitable for everyday wear. You color does come out very well in single application and it's build-able as desired. It looks slightly shiny when applied but fades away after a while. It does not leave your lips dry.

The color looks just nice on medium to dark skin tone. I paired green shirt and brown pants with this makeup. I liked wearing it. It lasts for good 5 - 6 hours without a meal. It does transfer on glass which is pretty annoying almost all lipsticks does this isn't? 

This is how All Out Gorgeous looks on me. Oh I have a beauty pimple near my chin :)

MAC Dare you (Cremesheen) Lipstick on medium to dark Indian Skintone

Hi Girls!

I am happy to write about another red lipstick from MAC called 'Dare You'. This one is from the same Editorial Red Palette which I first wore on my birthday a week ago.

The lipstick is a deep brownish red color making it suitable for all skin tones. As the lipstick says, it's of creme-sheen finish. It's very soft on application as it has the creamy texture and has a glossy look to it.

• Keeps the lips moisturized
• Do not feel heavy on lips, can apply couple of layers
• Can stay for good 5 - 6 hours if lip pencil is used as first layer.
• Has a slight fragrance which you can feel while applying, but nothing after that

I used the lip color from the palette of 6 Editorial Reds from MAC that totally costed me 40 USD. I believe the price of regular lipstick is 16 USD (3g). 

Anyone who like to wear red can give a try, and it's suitable for office too. Does not look too bright or give a ghostly look.

I have used Estee Lauder Foundation and powder to brighten up my face so that lip-color can pop out. I am not good on eye makeup tried to have a neutral look with a black eye liner.

I will try to have the swatches of all reds from the palette and post it separately. This is how Dare You looks on me.

MAC Ruby Woo lipstick on dark Indian Skintone

Hello Ladies!!

I am glad to write about the most popular and raved "Red" lip color from MAC called 'Ruby Woo'. Who doesn't like red isn't? I always envy models and actress who wears bright red and carry themselves very well. Recently I started liking Red and fell in love with several MAC lipsticks. I didn't try any of their red shades on the counter instead looked at swatches and reviews before making my purchase.

Most of us end up having plenty of lipsticks and do not use them regularly that goes to bin someday. I was head over heals in love with this Pro Palette. It's called Mac Pro Palette - 6 Editorial Reds. They sell this only on pro stores and hence I had to buy online. MAC's packaging was amazing, I was so excited to try them the next day. However I have only worn 3 of them from that palette so far. I will write my opinion individually.

This comes in a cute little travel friendly case. The shade names are at the base of the case making it easier to identify. Total quantity is 6 g making 1 gm per color. The cost of this palette is $40. Totally worth the purchase especially when you wear red occasionally.

Ruby Woo is a bright Red color, not orange and has a matte finish to it. Due to it's matte finish you might find it dry. You need to exfoliate and moisturize your lips well before applying this color. You would also need a lip brush to use this product. It has a good staying power of 5 - 6 hours.

I simply applied regular lip balm underneath before lining my lips. I have uses MAC Brick lip liner to outline my lips and fill my lips with the same pencil first. After then applied couple of layers and that's it. No gloss. Re-applied after my meals and it stayed till night.

You can pull this off with Cream, Black or White color dress. I am wearing this to work and it doesn't make you look like a clown. I loved wearing this. Here are some of the pictures. I am matched to NC45 skintone by MAC and this is how it looks on me.

This palette would go a long way and I am happy using this product.

MAC Rebel Lipstick on deep Indian skintone

I have always been fascinated about lipsticks the most unlike all other makeup.  Everything else has been very confusing right from the order of application and the type of products to buy. It’s only been few months since I started wearing makeup; yes of course with lipstick. Face makeup is incomplete without a lipstick or gloss.

I stumbled upon the renowned brand MAC only couple of months ago. I fell in love with their products. I have always in my life stayed away from dark lipsticks like brown, coffee, red, maroon etc. I love to wear those bright red and burgundy colors but never even once tried them on the store counters too. I had made up my mind it won’t suit my skin tone and end of the story until I saw some pictures of dark skinned women wearing them and I decided to give a try. It worked like a charm.

The lipstick comes in a regular pack, and the lipstick base weigh a bit as it has magnet in it. I realized all of MAC lipsticks I bought have them. 

Quantity – 3g

Price - $16 Approx. 960 INR

The product has a satin finish to it, it glides easily
while applying. You do not really need a brush for application. I have warm skin tone and matched to NC45 deep honey kind of shade. So that’s how I describe my skin tone while buying MAC products. This lipstick is not very dark on my skin tone and it’s very much presentable. If you have similar skin tone it would look beautiful on you. It stays for 4-6 hours if you just do one layer. I have the habit of touching up after lunch and I can go on till 7 pm with it until I remove my makeup at night.

Only complaint is it’s a bit pricey. If you like this color and would like to give a try good decision hurray! If not MAC you can buy similar shades of other brand who cares isn't? You can wear this lipstick with dark or warm color clothes and any season.                        

I would rate 4.9 out of 5 just because of the price.

I am wearing the following:
