Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Foundation - Review

Hey Everyone,

Today I am reviewing the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Foundation in shade 03 - Golden Medium.

It is available in 6 different shades named Ivory Fair, Rose Fair, Golden Medium, Golden Light, Beige Honey and Almond Honey.




Price : Rs. 1200 for 39 ml.

Shelf Life : 3 years.

What Lakme Claims?

Super long wearing foundation that delivers high comfort and new skin finishes with medium to high coverage. This sensorial gel-cream texture blends perfectly to give an even and weightless skin-like coverage.

My Take On The Product : 

The packaging is very sleek and compact. The foundation is housed in a matte BLACK bottle with a glossy cap. The nozzle of the bottle is perfect for squeezing out the required amount of foundation.


The foundation has a slightly THICK texture and it is little tough to blend.

It sets very QUICKLY and it is a LONG WEARING foundation. It glides on very smoothly if applied over primed or moisturized skin.
It has MEDIUM to FULL coverage, I sometime use it as a concealer :D

It covers up blemishes, pigmentation, spots, pimples etc.

It gives good natural matte finish and brightens the skin and make the face look soft and glowy.






What I Love : 

1. Packaging is sturdy and travel friendly,
2. Gel texture - smooth on skin.
3. Gives natural finish.
4. Medium to full coverage.
5. Long wearing - stayed for 6 - 7 hours on my skin.
6. Photographs well.
7. Light weight formula.
8. Can be layered - doesn't look patchy.
9. Didn't oxidize on me.
10. Good quantity for its price.
11. Availability - both online and store.

What I Hate : 

1. Opaque packaging - tough to see the remaining product inside.
2. Only 6 shades are available - quite difficult for darker skin beauties.
3. Dry skin girls definitely need moisturized skin before applying.
4. No SPF - But its okay, can be used with a sunscreen.
5. Price might be an issue for some.

Happy Glitters Rating : 4/5

Will I Recommend or Repurchase it?

YES, I will definitely REPURCHASE this foundation.
This is so far the best liquid foundation I have used. I RECOMMEND this foundation to everyone, if you get a perfect shade for your skin tone.

Hi my Lovelies,

I am with a review on the new Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipstick in the shade Flaming Orange.
This range has got some really luscious shades of corals, nudes, reds and pinks.


Price : Rs. 800 for 4 ml.
Shelf Life : 30 months.

What Lakme Claims?

Join the gloss revolution! Get addicted to the best of both worlds. Incredible Hi-Shine of a liquid lip gloss and one stroke application of a lipstick.

Introducing Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict created by backstage experts at Lakme Fashion Week for Runway-Ready lips in 15 glamorous shades.

Lakme Reinvent.




My take on the product : 

Packaging : The tube looks ELEGANT with a shiny metallic grey color and a transparent cap over it. It is very convenient to find the shades and easily to pick it up.

The texture is very SMOOTH, BUTTERY SOFT and it glides on very easily on the lips.

The product is very GLOSSY and it is not as pigmented as I had expected it to be. Since it is not heavily pigmented it is perfect for everyday wear.






Lasting Power/ Staying Powder : 

It stayed for 2 - 3 hours on my lips.

What I Love : 

1. Packaging - Travel friendly.
2. Very glossy.
3. Staying power.
4. Easily available.
5. Variety of shades.

What I Hate : 

1. Price is little high for a drugstore brand.
2. Shimmers tend to settle in fine lines.

Happy Glitters Rating : 4.5/5

Will I Repurchase It?

No, not this shade, I would try out the other shades from this range :)

Lóreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder Foundation - Review

Hello Girls !!!

I am here with a foundation review on Lóreal foundation.



Product Description :

Get the ultimate no-makeup look with Magic Nude Liquid Powder Bare Skin Perfecting Makeup with SPF 18. Revolutionary liquid transforms on contact, leaving a soft powder like finish.
This foundation is so amazingly light weight it is like wearing no makeup at all.

Shake it well and apply - MAGIC :)

Price: Rs. 899 for 27 ml


Shade : 318 - Natural Buff

My take on the Product:

It comes in 12 shades :) THUMBS UP !!!

It suit most of the Indian women and it is tough to choose shades for darker skin beauties.

The foundation comes in a glass bottle with a lid with no spatula or pump dispenser. The texture of the liquid powder is CREAMY and SOFT but when applying it feels like applying powder and the result is so PERFECT.

It is a LIGHT to MEDIUM coverage foundation building up/ or layering will result the face look heavy. Staying power is good. For me it stayed for 4 - 5 hours.

Application:

1. Shake well.
2. For best makeup result, pour just a few drops onto fingers and apply directly onto skin ( Not recommended for use with a sponge or brush).


Swatch - 318 Natural Buff



Partially Blended - 318 Natural Buff


Fully Blended - 318 Natural Buff

What I Love:

1. Blends easily.
2. Liquid to powder formula.
3. Variety of shades to choose.
4. Staying power.
5. Light weight on skin.
6. Can be used alone or with pressed powder.
7. Has Broad spectrum SPF 18, perfect for summer.
8. Very soft and creamy.

What I Hate:

1. Doesn't photographs well with flash.
2. Packaging - Pump dispenser would've been better.
3. Gets messy around the mouth of the bottle.
4. Not travel friendly.

Rating : 4/5

Will I Repurchase It?

YES, I will :) :)
