Hey beauties,

Hope you are doing great. Today I am going to share with you my review on Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses in 5 gorgeous shades. I am not at all a fan of lip glosses but these shiny glosses and their beautiful colors surely caught my eye. Let's get to the review to see what do I have to say about these Lip Vex Lip Glosses by Sigma Beauty...

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses

Sigma Beauty Lip Vexes come in small glass tubes with matte black caps. The packaging is cute yet sturdy. These glosses are good to carry along and can easily fit in clutch or purse. Sigma Beauty Lip Vex glosses come with a brush applicator which is different than the usual doe-foot applicators most glosses have.

The texture of these Lip Vex glosses is creamy and slightly thick. Luckily, these do not feel tacky or sticky. These glosses feel hydrating and do not accentuate any dry patches on the lips. The pigmentation of these glosses is good and these provide medium yet buildable coverage.

The shades that I got are Tint, Tranquil, Sheila, Get Ready and All Heart. All the shades have good color payoff. Lets take a closer look at all the shades.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Tint

Tint is a light peachy pink shade. The shade looks less pigmented on lips than the rest of the shades. It looks so natural and is great for everyday use.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Tranquil

Tranquil is a beautiful mauvy brown shade. The shade is very pigmented and can be worn all around the year.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Sheila

Sheila is a gorgeous medium pink shade. The shade is very pigmented and has fine shimmer particles.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Get Ready

Get Ready is a beautiful light peachy shade with gold shimmer particle. I am not a fan of shimmer in lip products but shimmer in this one looks so beautiful. This shade can add extra glam to any look.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex All Heart

All Heart is a lovely medium brown shade. The shade offers sheer to medium coverage and is great for fall/winters.

All the shades have decent staying power and they stay on my lips for about 3-4 hours which is not bad for a gloss.

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Swatches (L to R): Tint, Tranquil, Sheila, Get Ready and All Heart

Overall, Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses are great for all lip gloss lovers. These glosses have nice formula, do not feel tacky, have good pigmentation and add a nice shine to the lips. Another good thing is that these are formulated without parabens and sulfates. Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Glosses are available in 14 gorgeous shades. I surely recommend these to teenagers and all those who love glossy lips or like to add some extra shine to their pout.


The Goods:

• Good color payoff
• Decent staying power
• Creamy texture
• Add nice shine to lips
• Do not feel sticky or tacky
• Feel lightweight and comfortable
• Free of parabens and sulfates
• Cute packaging

The Bads:

• Shimmer in shade "Get Ready" tends to transfer easily
• Availability

Price & Availability: Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses are available online at Sigma Beauty Website for $10 each.

Pakistan’s premier luxury designer Khadijah Shah of Élan proudly announced the launch of Pakistan’s most coveted spring/summer voile collection, Élan Lawn, with the reveal of its first look.
Scheduled to launch on 18th March 2017 in over 25 cities across Pakistan and internationally through the brand’s e-store, www.elan.pk, the first look of Élan Lawn 2017 is set against the backdrop of beautiful Spain, with international models Gigi Jeon and Albina Kireeva. Indeed, this campaign sets another precedent in the course of Pakistan's lawn evolution as its the first time ever that a Pakistani Brand will be featuring upcoming Asian model - Gigi Jeon, who has been featured in ubiquitous international campaigns for Zara, Rochas and Body Shop to name a few and walked the ramp for Louis Vuitton and Rochas. The campaign has been beautifully captured by Nadir Firoz Khan with Hair by Victoria’s Secret hair-stylist Harlem Alexander and make-up by international artist Pia Rudd.

“Since the inception of Élan Lawn back in 2012 I have envisioned the quintessential Élan Lawn woman to be a traveller, wandering through exotic places, immersing herself in the cultures of the inhabitants of whatever locality she may be in. A true woman of the world. She is independent, free-spirited and accepting of all that surrounds her. That is my vision. This year, the beautiful city of Seville and the historic grandeur of Córdoba presented the perfect backdrop for our Lawn. Having said that, its the need of the hour for me to state that purely location alone does not make our Lawn, or any Lawn a success. It is the diligence of my team, who research endlessly on patterns and motifs, who constantly experiment and innovate in techniques of embroidery and push the boundaries of composition which makes Élan lawn a success year after year. That is the reason, why we have received immense love from you for all these years, and why you, the Élan woman, does not need the background of a beautiful small city in the South of Spain to look like the best version of yourself. Our gorgeous lawn does the trick, and beautifully too, might I add. Our prints this year are a beautiful depiction of various civilisations in themselves, and dare I say that our embroideries this year are stand out. We have sourced embellishments, and laces from all over the world so you get a look for the summer that is at par with international trends for S/S 2017. In short, we got you covered. I hope you enjoy the 2017 edition of our Lawn, and feel like a true icon while wearing it!” said Khadijah Shah about Élan Lawn 2017.
