Hey there beauties,
Hope you all are doing great. So as requested by many of you, here I am with the review of Wet n Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain in shade "A Stiff Pink". I bought this few weeks ago through Facebook Page Infinity. Well no more talking let's just get to the review and see what I have to say about it.
Okay so if you are a regular reader of my blog, you would be knowing how much I love lip crayons. I find these twist-able kinda crayons or balm stains much convenient to use. This balm stain is one of those chubby crayon pencils too. What I like about it's packaging is the lid, which closes tightly. You can hear a click sound upon closing the lid which makes it safer to keep in bag and purse.
Now coming to the finish and formula of this balm stain. It applies smoothly on the lips and moisturizes and hydrate the lips well. When first applied, you will slightly feel a tingling sensation on the lips (probably due to any of kind of the ingredients inside). I also feel that this balm stain makes my lips appear fuller. The finish is kinda glossy in the start which turns to a semi-matte finish after sometime and by the end to a completely matte finish. This balm stain keeps the lip hydrated for few hours only and after that it leaves a stain. Even the stain doesn't make the lips feel dry (a bit dry though). I recently had an allergic reaction to one lip product. Therefore, my lips were quite chapped and dried out when I tried this stain. But luckily, it didn't enhance any dryness on the lips. It doesn't settle into fine lines or cracks either. Hydrates and nourishes the lips for a couple of hours. So overall, am in love with the formula.
This particular shade "A stiff pink" is a gorgeous bright pink shade. What I noticed about this balm stain is that it changes color. When applied freshly, its a gorgeous pink shade with blue undertones. After a while the bright blue toned pink becomes much darker fuchsia pink and then after few hours, it starts fading slowly. It is very pigmented. The coverage is medium but easily buildable. One swipe on lips provide medium coverage and another swipe results in full coverage. The color is so soooo bright. I wasn't expecting it to be that bright, but I love it. It's one of those shades that would suit almost any skin tone.
Am pretty impressed with the staying powder of this balm stain. It lasts on my lips for about 4-5 hours (with full meal and proper eating). After that it leaves a kind of stain on lips which stays for some extra couple of hours. When I was testing it, I applied it in morning and splashed my face with water 2-3 times during the day, had lunch, and still I could see the bright color (slightly faded) on my lips till eve. After that it started fading, and left a light stain which stayed till night. So the staying power is impressive. What I don't like about this balm is that it fades unevenly. So, the stain looks awkward with uneven patches of colors on your lips by the end of the day.
Okay now here are the swatches of this lovely shade. It looks much brighter in person and is looking less brighter in pictures somehow. The first lip swatch shows how it looks when freshly applied on lips and the last picture shows the faded stain it leaves after few hours.
Let me tell once again, for some reason the color is appearing less brighter in pictures. But actually it appears as a much much brighter and darker fuchsia pink shade on lips. Even the stain looks so bright and appears as a reddish pink stain. Overall, am impressed with this balm stain and love using it these days. Even my Mom loves it and is impressed with its staying power and great color payoff. Am surely gonna get more shades soon. At the end, we have the quick roundup summary.
The Goods:
Price & Availability: I ordered mine from Beauty Joint through Facebook page Infinity for PKR 500/- only. You can check other Facebook pages too, to see if any of those have these in stock.
For international readers, this is available at Beauty Joint for $3.99/-
My Rating: 4/5.... Great...!!!

Hey Beauties,
Hope you all are doing well. Here I am with another lip product review that was requested by many of you. The product am going to review is Catrice Shine Gel Lip Color in shade "Don't Fear The Sheer (040)". When I saw this available at Beauty Arena, I couldn't resist buying it. I did a bit of research to select the best color for me. All the reviews I read on this lip color tempted me to buy it even more. Finally I decided to buy this gorgeous looking coral shade. Let's see what I have to say about it and is it worth buying or not....
Starting with the packaging. It comes in metallic bullet form . The metallic packaging is quite sleek but is so prone to finger prints. The name of the shade is written on bottom. This shade "Don't fear the sheer" is a coral kinda shade which matches the bottom of the bullet. The packaging overall is sturdy and elegant.
This shine gel lip color has gel-like texture. It is creamy and glides smoothly on lips. It hydrates the lips and lips feel much softer and smoother after applying this lipstick. It provides sheer color and moisturizes the lips well. Therefore, in my opinion, this gel shine lip color lies somewhere between a lipstick and lip balm. It's not at all drying on lips. But wait....let me warn you, it has tendency to settle in fine lines and enhance any lip cracks.
This shine gel lipstick provides sheer coverage. After seeing swatches online, I was expecting this shade to be more pigmented. But honestly I am disappointed and this particular shade is not very pigmented. One swipe just provides a sheer tint of color to the lips. When swatched on arm it looks like a light coral shade but when applied on lips it appears as a very pale pink kinda shade with blue undertones.Totally disappointed as this is so not my kind of color. The finish of this lipstick is glossy/shiny. Here are the lip and arm swatches of this lipstick.
Now talking about the staying power, the staying power of this lipstick is below average too. It lasted on me for about 2-3hours at max (with minimal eating and drinking). But a good thing is that it left a very light stain and my lips felt hydrated even after the color faded away.
Overall this lipstick hasn't impressed me much. The coverage is sheer- medium which is ok but this particular shade is not very pigmented. Plus the color appears totally different on my lips. This is not the kind of coral shade that I expected it to be. May be darker colors from this range would look much better. The good thing is it hydrates the lips and is affordable. So you can try some other shades if you like hydrating lipsticks with shiny finish. So here is the round up summary for this lipstick.
The Goods:
Price & Availability: I bought mine from online store BeautyArena for PKR 780/- You can find these lipsticks at Catrice counters at leading stores in Pakistan.
My Rating: 3/5
So that's all for now. Have you tried any lipstick from Catrice..? Do leave your comments and tell what you think about these.. :)

So about a month ago I found about this new Facebook Cosmetics and Jewellery page named "Infinity". The owner of the page personally messaged me on Facebook informing about her page and the services they are offering. I visited the page and came to know that it was open for US orders. Lucky me, at that time I was already looking for a page open for US orders at reasonable rates as I wanted to order my regular foundation for winters. So, I asked her to quote rates for a foundation and some other products. She quoted quite reasonable prices, was offering COD and no advances were required at all. I was amazed yet excited. So I decided to give it a try and placed my first order with that page, but a small one. The owner confirmed my order and gave me an estimated time of 3 weeks for delivery. Let's see what I got and how was my experience with this store...

Overall, am a happy and highly satisfied customer of this new page Infinity. I keep shopping from Facebook pages and this so far was my best per-ordering experience with any page. If you are a shopaholic and love pre-ordering stuff then do check this page Infinity (click to open in new window). The owner is so sweet and cooperative. The page offers reasonable rates, timely delivery and efficient customer service. Plus, they have some amazing jewellery in-stock too.
So that's all for now. Hope you enjoyed my mini haul post featuring this new Facebook Page.
