Lipstick Love (Lancome 120 Red En Vogue)

Hi beautiful ladies :)

I was just sitting today and I thought of an idea. Since I LOVE lipsticks and I have lots of them I thought of sharing them with you through Lipstick Love seiries ;)

I love red lips although I don't wear them much. Here is one of the best shades I have of true red.

Lancome color fever in 120 Red En Vogue

This red is not deep nor bright. It is just true classy red. The texture is very creamy, but its not shiney which I prefer for red lips. I don't like shiney red.

Swatches of Lancome 120 Red En Vogue

Below swatch is with flash

and without flash

If you are someone who wear red lips everyday, this red will be the color that you want to wear for a party or an occasion. Its definitely not an everyday red, its a WOW red!!

Have a nice day :)

My June 2012 Beauty Favourites

Hello everyone :) Its time for the monthly favorites. June is my favorite month (Yes, my bithday is in June :D) and I have enjoyed lots of products.

I'll start with blushes!!

1. Nars Deep Throat

The perfet everyday peachy blush that goes with every look. Below is the swatch.

2. Mac LOVECLOUD blush

Ofcourse I have to include a mac blush!! hehe. This blush came with the trescheek collection. It looks very vibrant in the photo above, but it gives a very natural pinky sheen to the cheeks. I love it. If you want to buy this blush try it on, and not only swatching it on your hand. It looks different on the cheecks. Below is a heavy swatch, just to show u the color.

3. Bobbi Brown Creamy concelar.

I am very picky about my concealars, since they crease on me. Even sometimes I prefer having dark circles than a creased concealar. but this concealar is so creamy, it covers very well and does not crease. However you have to use the right amount. You will require a tiny bit to cover the whole area. Also I do not use it to cover my face blemishes, only as an undereye concealar. I have the shade "Cool Sand"

4. Maybelline 24hr color tatto (25Bad to the Bronze, 35On and on Bronze)

Both colors in the above pic are the same. Bad to the bronze is from US, and On and on bronze is the Europe and middle east version of the same product. I bought it from Dubai. This product was one the most products I used during June. I was very busy the past month, and this product is perfect when you are in hurry and you want to finish your makeup quickly. just apply over your lid with your finger, blend it with a clean brush, apply some mascara and you are good to go :) It stays on perfectly. No crease, and no base!! Below is the swatch.

5. UD 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil "JUJU"

Another product that I use when I dont have time for eyeshadow, and still look gorgeous. I apply it over the lid, again without a base and blend it with a brush. Also, stays on and does not crease.

A tip: Blend the crease very well and it will look like a normal eyeshadow, but better ;)

6. MUFE Aqua eyepencil in "10L"

I love wearing this golden copper color in my waterline. It is so smoothe and pigmented. whenever you are doing a look with a white in your waterline, try this color instead. It will look amazing, I promise!! check out the swatch.

7. Makeup Geek eyshadow in "Vanila Bean"

This eyshadow was my everyday highlight for the browbone. I used it almost with every look. I will do a sperate post reviewing the Makeup Geek eyshadows.

8. Mac Extra Dimension Skin Finish "Superb"

Again this product comes in my monthly favorite. For a short review and swatch check my May2012 beauty favorites post.

9. TRESemme Volume and lift hair spray

After using this spray I will never think of trying another one for styling my hair!! It holds the hair firmly and gives volume. The hair stays styled till your next wash!!Amazing. I am in love with it, Seriously <3 br="br">

Here we come to the end of my June favorites. Tell me your favorite products that you have enjoyed the past month.

Have a nice day!!
