Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet & Dry Compact - Review

Hi Girls,

Today I am reviewing the Lakme Absolute White Intense Wet & Dry Compact in the shade - 03 Golden Medium.





Price : Rs. 650 for 9 g

What Lakme Claims?

Look naturally fair and flawless through the day with this dual long wear compact with soft focus effect. Its unique formula contains Hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrates your skin restoring its natural youth and glow and Vitamin B3 that makes you look visibly fairer.

  • Last up to 16 hours.
  • Use it dry as a compact and wet as a foundation.
  • SPF 17.

My Take On The Product

Packaging : 

The compact powder comes in a shiny grey metallic box with a mirror and a sponge applicator which is housed in a separate compartment in the bottom of the packaging.






Texture : 

It has a soft texture, the powder is finely milled and blends easily. It gives more coverage, and its ability to control oil is not great.

Its staying power is quite good. It stayed on me for 3 - 4 hours.

It gives a nice finished look to the skin, and it is not so great for setting out foundation, it may look cakey if you don't apply it with a light hand.



It can be the best use for everyday wear - over BB creams or Tinted moisturizer. It brighten up the skin well.



The GOOD : 

  • Sleek and style packaging.
  • Soft texture.
  • Contains SPF 17.
  • Has brightening effect.
  • Coverage (Sheer to medium).
  • Blends well.

The BAD : 

  • Looks cakey when used wet.
  • Over price for a drugstore brand.
  • Bad for flash photography because of SPF.
  • Gets patchy when applied over heavy coverage foundation.

Happy Glitters Rating : 3/5

REVLON COLOR BURST MATTE BALM - REVIEW AND SWATCH


Hello Girls,

Today I am reviewing a matte lip balm from Revlon. 

Revlon's new Color burst matte balm comes in variety of shades and I am reviewing the shade 205 - Elusive.



Price : INR 800

My Take On The Product

Packaging : Revlon color burst matte balm comes in a twister type chubby stick with a matte finish surface which has the color of the balm. So it is perfect to pick the shades we want.




Texture : The texture is buttery soft and it has a mint flavor to it, after applying on the lips you might find a tingling sensation which lasts for only few minutes. 

It glides on very smoothly, you would hardly see any product being used on the bullet.

Applying more than one or two swipes can settle down in the fine lines.

Color : The color ELUSIVE is a nude shade of pink which could wash out many and stands out on warm skin tones.





What I Love : 

1. Color.
2. Highly pigmented.
3. Buttery soft texture.
4. Staying power for more than 5 hours.
5. Mint smell.
6. Doesn't require sharpening.

What I Hate : 

1. Settles in fine lines if applied more.
2. Price is quite high for a drugstore brand.

Happy Glitters Rating : 4.9/5

Will I Repurchase It?

God Yes :) I will :) But I would try out the other shades from this range.
