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 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.

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.

Hey beauties,

Hope you are doing great. Liquid lipsticks were all the hype last year and they are here to stay. From high-end to drugstore, many makeup brands launched liquid lipsticks during past year. Even this year, many new and upcoming collections include liquid lipsticks. One of our favorite drugstore brands, Essence Cosmetics also jumped on the bandwagon and launched these affordable liquid lipsticks. These liquid lipsticks look different than the rest of the lipsticks that I have tried so far. So let's get to the review and see what I have to say about this liquid lipstick by Essence Cosmetics.

Essence Liquid Lipstick "Show Off"

Essence Liquid Lipstick "Show Off"

Essence liquid lipsticks come in transparent plastic packaging with colored lipstick shape within the center. These liquid lipsticks have a doe-foot applicator that help spread the product evenly on the lips. The packaging somehow reminds me of Maybelline Color Elixir Lip Colors. I find the packaging of this liquid lipstick really cute.

The formula of this liquid lipstick is different than other liquid lipsticks. Its hybrid of lipstick and lip gloss. Unlike other liquid lipsticks, its not matte, rather its glossy. The texture of this liquid lipstick is quite thick. It looks and feels more like a gloss but doesn't feel tacky or sticky at all. This liquid lipstick is highly pigmented and the coverage it provides is medium yet buildable. Since, it feels more like a gloss, therefore, it doesn't feel drying and keeps the lips moisturized for hours. This liquid lipstick also has a vanilla like scent and it tastes a bit sweet too. However, the scent and taste are not at all bothersome and I like it.

The shade that am reviewing is 04 "Show Off" which is a beautiful coral pinkish shade with hint of red. On my lips it appears as a bright coral pink shade. The shade is suitable for almost all skin tones. Being a glossy lip color, it does transfer and fade easily. However, it doesn't bleed. The glossiness/shine of this lipstick reduces after about an hour of application. The subtle coral pink color sticks to the lips for about 3-4 hours and then slowly fades away. It also leaves behind a nice light stain which lasts for an extra hour. It keeps the lips hydrated for many hours and leaves my lips feeling soft by the end of the day.

Essence Liquid Lipstick Show Off Swatch

In my opinion, its not actually a liquid lipstick rather more of a long-lasting lip gloss. It has decent staying power as a gloss, is highly pigmented and feels comfortable on the lips. However, its not matte and doesn't feel like other liquid lipsticks. Those who prefer glossy finish and are looking for an affordable hydrating lip color should check these out for sure.


The Goods:

• Cute Packaging
• Good color payoff
• Decent staying power
• Moisturizing formula
• Feels comfortable on lips
• Doesn't feel tacky
• Doesn't bleed
• Smells good
• Affordable

The Bads:

• Feels, looks and performs more like a lip gloss
• Staying power is not impressive for a liquid lipstick
• Transfers easily

Price & Availability: Essence Liquid lipsticks are available at leading cosmetics/drugstores nationwide for Rs 450/- only. Also available online at Beautybar.pk

Hey beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Being a Sigma Beauty Affiliate, I recently got the chance to try some products that were a part of their Steady Glow Collection. All the products included in this collection are beyond gorgeous. The steady glow collection sets are not available at Sigma beauty website anymore. However, am glad that these products are still available for purchase individually. So today am sharing my review on Sigma Beauty Lip Glosses known as "Lip Vex" in three gorgeous shades. So let's get to the review and see what I have to say about these...

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses

Sigma Beauty Lip Vex Lip Glosses

Sigma beauty lip vexes come in nice and sleek packaging. The small yet sturdy tubes of these lip vexes can easily fit in your purse or clutch thus making it travel-friendly and convenient to carry. These lip vexes come with a brush applicator which however in my opinion is not too great for even application of color on lips.

These lip vexes are creamy and thick in consistency but not too thick to be felt uncomfortable on lips. I am not much of a lip gloss girl but am so in love with the texture of these lip vexes. They feel so hydrating on the lips and do not feel sticky or tacky. They have a particular smell and taste which is not bothersome for me. Another great thing about these lip vexes is that these are paraben-free. The shades that I got from steady glow collection are vivid, steady glow and dazzling. I will be sharing my thoughts on these individually now.

Sigma Beauty Vivid Lip Vex

Vivid Lip Vex:
Lip vex "Vivid" is a gorgeous coral pink shade, in fact a perfect shade for spring/summers. It is not shimmery and is my favorite among the three lip vexes that I got. It is very pigmented and the coverage it provides is medium yet buildable. This shade makes my lips appear fuller. The staying power of this gloss is pretty good too and it stays on my lips for about 3-4 hours which is pretty nice for a gloss. Even after the color fades away, my lips feel hydrated and nourished. Am so in love with this shade and I find myself reaching for this gloss very often these days.

Sigma Beauty Steady Glow Lip Vex

Steady Glow Lip Vex:
The shade steady glow is a nice peachy shade with orange sheen and some fine shimmer particles. This is my second favorite shade from this collection and this again is a perfect shade for spring/summers. This shade is fairly pigmented and when applied on lips, it initially appears too glossy. After about an hour of application, the glossiness/shine reduces and it appears as a subtle shimmery peach shade then. Am not at all a fan of shimmery lip products but the fine shimmer particles in this one look very subtle and are not much noticeable. The staying power of this one is the same and it lasts on my lips for about 4 hours or more and keeps my lips hydrated till evening.

Sigma Beauty Dazzling Lip Vex

Dazzling Lip Vex:
Dazzling is a bronze gold shade with chunky shimmer/glitter. Now this is a really different kind of shade and reflects the theme of steady glow collection perfectly. This shade is very pigmented and the coverage it provides is completely opaque. The staying power of this one is quite remarkable too and it stays on my lips for about 4-5 hours. Even after the color fades off, the shimmer sticks to the lips and is somehow hard to remove. This in not a very wearable shade in my opinion. However, it is very unique and can be used on top of any lip color to add glamour to your look.

At the end here are the swatches of all the three shades...

From Left to Right: Vivid, Steady Glow, Dazzling

Overall, am highly pleased with the texture, formula and performances of these lip vexes. I particularly love the shades "Vivid" and "Steady Glow" a lot. The only shade that I feel is not very wearable for me is "Dazzling". However, it has its own unique beauty. These lip vexes by Sigma Beauty have changed my opinion about lip glosses and am definitely hoping to try more of these soon. I recommend all lip gloss lovers to try these out. Am sure the hydrating formula, creamy texture and great color payoff of these lip vexes will amaze you too.

The Goods:

• Good pigmentation
• Paraben-free
• Creamy texture
• Feel very hydrating on lips
• Do not feel tacky or sticky
• Good staying power (for a gloss) 
• Sleek Packaging

The Bads:

• The shade dazzling is too shimmery
• The brush applicator can be trickier to use
