Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a super great start. Pakistan's very own, Halal certified makeup brand, Masarrat Misbah Makeup, recently launched some new additions to their makeup range. The latest additions include new shades of MM Makeup Liquid Lipstick, Matte Luxe Lipstick & Perfect Wear Eyeliner. Today I am reviewing these 3 new products for you. So let's get to the post to know what do I have to say about these new additions to Masarrat Misbah Makeup line.

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Liquid Lipstick "Diva"

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Liquid Lipstick Diva:
Starting with the new shade "Diva" added to Masarrat Misbah Liquid Lipstick range. MMM Liquid Lipstick Diva is a deep burgundy red shade. It appears deeper and more warm-toned on me in person. The shade actually seems similar to MAC lipstick "Diva" as per the swatches I have seen online. However, I don't actually own MAC Diva, therefore, cannot compare the two. This liquid lipstick applies easily, dries quickly and provides a nice matte finish. It stays on my lips easily for 6 hours or more. However, this particular shade does tend to transfer. Overall, the formula is highly pigmented and comfortable to wear.

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Matte Luxe Lipstick "Empower"

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Matte Luxe Empower:
Masarrat Misbah Makeup Matte Luxe Lipstick "Empower" is a beautiful red shade with blue undertones. The shade looks deeper in indoor lighting. Nonetheless, it looks gorgeous. This lipstick has creamy texture that glides smoothly on the lips and does not dry the lips out. It offers creamy matte finish initially which turns to a soft matte finish after a while. This lipstick isn't completely transfer-proof but has amazing lasting power. It stays on the day almost all day long and even lasts through meal. Overall, this lipstick is undoubtedly a winner for me.

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner "Noir"

Masarrat Misbah Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner Noir:
Lastly, we have the new Masarrat Misbah Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner "Noir". I personally find liquid liners hard to apply but this wasn't the case with MM Makeup Perfect Wear Eyeliner. The brush that comes with liner makes it easier to apply. This liner can provide a perfectly winged line or cat eye look without hassle. The shade "Noir" is an intense black colored liner. It dries quickly and stays all day long without smudging or flaking. This liner offers satin like finish, not completely matte finish, which is something I don't personally like in black liners. Other than that, its a great budget eyeliner.

Swatches: MMM Liquid Lipstick "Diva", MMM Perfect Wear Eyeliner "Noir", MMM Matte Luxe "Empower"

Overall, I am impressed with the quality of these new products by Masarrat Misbah Makeup. The MM Makeup Matte Luxe has surely become my favorite red lipstick and I am definitely going to grab more shades from the range. Masarrat Misbah Makeup is certainly reaching the top by continuously improving quality of its products and adding shades to its makeup range that are perfect for all skin tones. I absolutely recommend you all to try the newest additions to Masarrat Misbah Makeup range.



Price & Availability: All these products are available at leading outlets nationwide and online at www.masarratmakeup.com. The Liquid Lipstick is priced at Rs 1,250, Matte Luxe Lipstick at Rs 1,150 and Perfect Wear Eyeliner at Rs 790 only.



Overall Rating: 4.8/5...!!!

Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a super great start. I am a huge fan of matte liquid lipsticks and am kind of obsessed with ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips Liquid lipsticks. Recently ColourPop Cosmetics introduced their mini size To-Go lip kits. The one that caught my attention was "Foxy" that contains 5 mini size best-selling ultra matte lips. This kit contains almost all shades that were on my wishlist so I immediately got it. Let's get to the review to see what do I have to say about this Ultra Matte Lip Mini Kit by ColourPop Cosmetics...

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit - Foxy

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit - Foxy

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit Foxy comes in a cute small cardboard outer box. The set contains 5 mini size Ultra Matte Lips including Clueless, Beeper, Tulle, More Better and Creeper. The packaging of ultra matte lips minis is same as full size ones. These come in glass tubes with metallic cap and doe-foot applicator. Each mini ultra matte lip contains about 0.02 oz of product which is less than half of a full-sized ultra matte lip. For size comparison, you can see the picture of one full size ultra matte lip with a mini ultra matte lip.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Comparison

The formula of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips is thin and liquidy. These apply easily and dry quickly to a perfect matte finish. I feel the applicator of the mini ultra matte lips is somehow small for lips. Yet it is good for precise application of lip color. These ultra mattes feel lightweight and comfortable to wear. These are not drying and provide the perfect matte finish. The formula of new ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips has surely improved. The old ones that I have in my collection accentuated fine lines and dryness on lips. These new ones, didn't accentuate any dryness on my lips and I love the finish these provide.

The set "Foxy" contains 5 gorgeous ultra matte shades ranging from neutral to bold colors.  The pigmentation of all the shades is amazing. One swipe of color results in opaque coverage. The 5 shades included in the set are Clueless, Beeper, Tulle, More Better and Creeper. Let's take a closer look at each shade.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Clueless" Lip Swatch

Clueless is a beautiful muted mauvy pink shade. I am not really a fan of mauvy shades but this one is so gorgeous. This has surely become my favorite go-to lip color. It looks so much prettier in person and I will be featuring it one of my FOTDs soon.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Beeper" Lip Swatch

Beeper is a mid-tone taupe shade. Its looks like a nudish taupe brown shade at times. It is my least favorite shade from the set as I don't usually wear browns. The shade is great for those who prefer taupe or mid-tone brown shades.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Tulle" Lip Swatch

ColourPop Utra Matte Tulle is a dark vampy shade. It looks like a deep burgundy shade with hint of brown. This shade is perfect for fall/winters. I have never been a fan of vampy shades but I really like this one.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "More Better" Lip Swatch

More Better is a beautiful rich berry shade. It looks like a deep wine shade in indoor lighting. I can't describe how much I love this color. It is so beautiful and instantly brightens up my face. It is a very wearable berry shade. The shade would suit all skin tones and can be worn all around the year.

ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip "Creeper" Lip Swatch

Creeper is a pretty bright red shade with blue undertones. This red is brighter than most of the red lip colors that I have in my collection. It is beautiful and has such smooth matte finish.

All the shades have great staying power and they last almost all day long. These even tend to last through meals. However, I won't say the new formula of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips is completely transfer-proof. Few shades tend to transfer easily while others transfer just a bit. But for such good pigmentation and amazing finish, these cons can be ignored. At the end here is a quick look at all the gorgeous shades in the set "Foxy".

Swatches of ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit - Foxy

All in all, I think this ColourPop Ultra Matte Mini Lip Kit "Foxy" is great value for money. These mini kits are great for trying out different shades before buying the full-sized ones. Also these are good to carry along in purse or clutch. The quantity of the mini ultra mattes is just perfect for me as I don't use them on daily basis. I am definitely planning to get full-sized Ultra Mattes in shade "Clueless" and "More Better". I surely recommend you to check out different mini size kits by ColourPop.


The Goods:

• Great variety of shades
• Amazing pigmentation
• Opaque coverage 
• Dry quickly
• Great staying power
• Nice matte finish
• Do not feel drying
• Comfortable to wear
• Perfect to carry in purse/clutch

The Bads:

• Applicator is small for application
• Formula is not transfer-proof

Price & Availability: ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip Mini Size Kit Foxy is available at ColourPop Website for $18 only. I got mine from Facebook page Brand-O-Holic for Rs 2850/- only.

Check out the complete range of ColourPop Ultra Matte Value Sets on ColourPop Website. ColourPop ships internationally too.

Hey beauties,

Hope your week is off to a great start. Following our obsession with liquid lipsticks, today am sharing my review on some new matte liquid lipsticks with you. These are L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Glosses in shades Tulle, Bazaar, Fleur and Timeless. Before these, I had only tried Luxury Creme Lip Color and Pro Concealers by the brand so far and I am a huge fan of L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealers. So let's get to the post to see if these matte flat finish pigment glosses managed to impress me too or not.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Applicator

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Glosses come in round plastic tubes with black caps. The packaging of these matte flat finish pigmented glosses is thicker than usual liquid lipstick packaging. It is matte and sleek. The applicator inside is not like the usual doe foot applicators. Its rather thin, flat and stiff for precise applicator of color on lips.

These matte flat finish pigment glosses have creamy consistency. They apply smoothly and dry quickly to a nice matte finish. These matte flat finish pigment glosses have amazing pigmentation and provide opaque coverage with one coat. These do not feel drying and do not accentuate any dry patches on lips. However they feel slightly plasticky and tacky. The tackiness can be felt when you rub your lips together. But its nothing too bothersome.

The shades that am reviewing are "Tulle", "Bazaar", "Fleur" and "Timeless". Starting with Tulle, it is a bright, neon blue based pink shade. It looks kind of neon purplish pink at times. This shade is said to be a dupe for MAC Candy Yum Yum. Since I don't own Candy Yum Yum, I can't actually compare the two shades. The shade is beautiful nonetheless and I love it.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Tulle Lip Swatch

Bazaar is a gorgeous rosy pink shade with hint of red. It appears more like a deep rosy pink shade on my lips. Its a kind of shade that can be worn all year round.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Bazaar Lip Swatch

Fleur is a very subtle nude brow shade. I am not usually a fan of  brown or nude lip colors but this one looks very flattering and doesn't wash me out. Therefore, I love it.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Fleur Lip Swatch

Timeless is a really wearable mauvy purple shade. Its a kind of purple that would flatter all skin tones. The shade is more appropriate for fall/winters.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Timeless Lip Swatch

All the shades are really gorgeous and have great color payoff. The staying power of these matte flat pigment glosses is really good. They stick to the lips and last almost all day long. These even last me through meals. However these have slight tendency to flake or crumble by the end of the day.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss- Tulle, Bazaar, Fleur, Timeless

All in all, I think these L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Glosses are really good for the price. These are highly pigmented, have nice matte finish and are long-lasting. There are some minor cons like tackiness and plasticky feel. However for the price, such cons can be ignored. If you are looking for some decent, affordable matte liquid lipsticks or want to add some more unique shades in your matte liquid lipstick collection, then you should definitely check these out. All the shades available in this range are absolutely gorgeous.


The Goods:

• Highly pigmented
• Dry to velvety matte finish
• Provide opaque coverage with one coat
• Do not feel drying
• Do not bleed
• Sleek packaging
• Long-lasting
• Affordable

The Bads:

• Feel a bit heavy and plasticky on lips
• Feel slightly tacky
• Have slight tendency to flake or crumble by the end of the day (after several hours of wear)

Price & Availability: L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Glosses are available online at Just4Girls for Rs 700/- each. You can also order these and other L.A Girl products online from L.A Girl Pakistan Facebook page.






Overall Rating: 4.3/5...!!!

Hey pretties,

Hope you all are doing great and enjoying summers so far. I am so obsessed with liquid lipsticks and love trying different kinds of liquid lipsticks from different brands. Today I am reviewing Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color in shade "Violet Addict". I have been wanting to try it for so long and finally got it from Beaut Arena. So let's get to the review to find out what do I have to say about this liquid lip color by Milani Cosmetics...

Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color

Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color

Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color

So Milani Intense Lip Colors come in an attractive flat yet wide tube. The shape of the tube is different from the usual liquid lipsticks or gloss tubes. It comes with a doe-foot applicator for precise and even application of color on lips. Overall the packaging is unique and funky.

Milani Intense Lip Color is a hybrid of lipstick and lip gloss. It has pigmentation of a lipstick and adds a nice shine like a lip gloss. I am really impressed with the pigmentation of this lip color. It is intensely pigmented and provides almost full coverage in one swipe. It feels creamy and hydrating. It is light-weight and feels extremely comfortable to wear. However, it has a slightly weird, oil like taste which I don't like. The finish it provides is glossy which is not my preferred finish but I somehow like its subtle glossy finish.

The shade "Violet Addict" is a bright and almost neon purplish pink shade. It looks more purple in some lighting while looks more of a blue based pink shade in natural light. The shade is really unique and gorgeous. I am not a fan of such cool-toned shades but this one looks really pretty. The staying power of this lipstick is pretty decent too and it stays on my lips for about 4-5 hours and then fades away evenly. However it does tend to transfer easily like all glossy lip colors.

Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color "Violet Addict" Swatch

Overall, I really like this Milani Lip Intense Liquid Lip Color. Its a nice hybrid between a lipstick and lip gloss. It has pigmentation and coverage of a lipstick and adds shine to the lips like a gloss. It is creamy and feels very lightweight. If you are a matte finish lover, then this lip color is not for you. However those who prefer lipsticks with creamy or glossy finish will love these.


The Goods:

• Highly pigmented
• Creamy formula
• Good staying power
• Provides opaque coverage 
• Feels lightweight  and comfortable
• Adds a nice shine to the lips
• Does not feel sticky/tacky
• Feels hydrating

The Bads:

• Has a weird taste
• Tends to transfer
• Limited shade range

Price & Availability: Milani Lip Intense Liquid Colors are available online in 4 gorgeous shades at Beauty Arena for Rs 915/- each. Don't forget to check out the complete range of Milani Cosmetics at BeautyArena.pk




Overall Rating: 4.5/5...!!!

Hi beauties,

Hope you all are doing great. Liquid lipsticks are definitely here to stay and that is why different brands are launching liquid lipsticks in amazing shades with different finishes and better than ever staying power. I am glad to see more of locally available options in liquid lipsticks. Recently, Stage Line Professional also introduced its new resistant, long-lasting liquid lipsticks with the name "X-FIX LIPS". Today am reviewing two shades from the new Stage Line X-FIX LIPS. So let's quickly get to the review and see what I have to say about these new liquid lipsticks in the town...

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS Applicator

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS come in glass tube packaging with matte black lids. These tubes also come with a greyish silver Stage Line Signature cardboard outer box. The tube is pretty big in size and contains 6ml of product inside. The size and shape of the tube reminds me of ColourPop UltraMatte Lip Colors. The number of each shade is written on bottom of the tube. Overall the packaging of these X-FIX LIPS is really sleek and there is sufficient quantity of product inside which is a huge plus.

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS have very thin and watery consistency. Yet the lip color applies really easily and dries quickly to a nice matte finish. These X-FIX LIPS are super pigmented and provide opaque coverage with just one coat. The formula of X-FIX LIPS is not at all drying. It feels very light-weight and comfortable to wear. In fact, I can say that these are one of the most comfortable feeling liquid lipsticks that I have ever tried. These X-FIX LIPS do not accentuate fine lines or lip cracks. I love the formula, feel and finish of these X-FIX LIPS liquid lipsticks.

The shades that am reviewing are number "04" and "06". The names of the shades are not written on the packaging and tube. However as per the website and Facebook page, the names of shade "04" and "06" are "Carmine Pink" and "Rouge". Both the shades are highly pigmented. Shade 04-Carmine Pink is a bright coral pinkish shade. The shade looks almost reddish coral in indoor lighting and appears as a subtle coral pink shade in day light. 

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS 04 - Carmine Pink Lip Swatch

Shade 06-Rouge is a gorgeous blue based red shade. It looks much deeper in indoor light. 

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS 06 - Rouge Lip Swatch

I love both the shades and have been wearing them quite a lot lately. The staying power of these X-FIX LIPS liquid lipsticks is really impressive and these stay on my lips almost all day long and I have to remove these from the lips myself at the end of the day. These even last me through meals which makes them perfect for formal dinners and other occasions. However, by the end of the day, these slightly tend to transfer upon eating or drinking. But this is nothing too bothersome and I must say am really impressed with the longevity of these liquid lipsticks. 

Stage Line X-FIX LIPS Swatches

To sum it up I would say Stage Line X-FIX LIPS long lasting liquid lipsticks have surely won my heart. From formula, to finish and staying power, I love everything about these X-FIX LIPS. The product quantity for the price is really sufficient. I can clearly say that I have found my new favorite locally available liquid lipsticks and am definitely going to pick more colors from this range soon. All matte liquid lipstick lovers out there should definitely check these out.


The Goods:

• Amazing pigmentation
• Opaque coverage in single coat
• Provide nice matte finish
• Feel lightweight and comfortable on lips
• Do not accentuate fine lines on lips
• Do not feel drying
• Excellent staying power
• No flaking or crumpling
• Water-proof
• Do not bleed
• Available locally

 The Bads:

• Shade names are not written on tube or packaging (only numbers are written)
• Have slight tendency to transfer upon eating or drinking

Price & Availability: Available in six gorgeous shades at all leading cosmetics/drugstores for Rs 995/- only. Also available online at Just4Girls.pk and Daraz.pk

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 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

Essence Liquid Lipstick Show Off Lip 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
