Declutter: My unused lipstick stash

Cheap dupes for Revlon LipButters

By the end of 2011, Revlon Colorburst Lipbutters were the talk among the beauty bloggers. Some are lucky enough to get them and some are eagerly waiting to get them. Not launched internationally, most of the beauty enthusiasts even tried to get them through others to get their hands on. Ofcourse, time passes and by end of Jan 2012, Revlon lipbutters were available across all leading drugstores. And If u happen to follow any beauty blogs, u might have seen people raving about the formula, packaging and everything about it..

But,everything in this world had pros and cons..its just that what effective pros it has got is what matters us.. Coming to this Revlon Colorburst Lipbutters, it has pros and cons as well. Concisely, they are good at pigmentation, packaging, moisturization, wider & good range of shades this line has got, but coming to the cons, they are expensive, provided the amout of produt u get and how fast u can use them up. Not that im complaining, but $7 for this, if u look at the amount u get, its pretty much less than the standard lipstick size and it being sheer or buttery smooth, it tends to hit the finish line soon. After going though several reviews..I finally came up with pretty dupes for it, but with less price tags.

They are:
Jordana Easyshine Glossy Lipcolor:

Costing $1.99 each, they are very pigmented, glossy, not sticky, feels buttery but not heavy like lipbutters and u need to pay just a fraction of cost for 1.9g of the product. Staying power is decent for about 2-3 hours, but i dont mind reapplying when its got such a light feel. Victoria' Secret has long back carried the same product with different name though they are now discontinued. Not to forget about mentioning the packaging, where the tubes comes with its exact color. Now to the cons, its just that u need to be very carefull while placing the cap, cos the bullet is never going in completely. A part of it always stays out. Thats the only minus untill now, but for the price and its quality i think im able to carry the con, which doesnt bother me much,

Wet n wild megashield Lipcolor SPF15:

Pricing at about $3, these Mega Shield Lipcolors from Wet n wild contains SPF 15 which is what this lipcolor categorizes itself by saying 'MegaShield' in to 'care' products. Anyways, compared to Revlon Lipbutters, they are similar, but not as moisturizing (atleast for me) but the feel is not as light as jordana's. And ooh well..thse bullets dont completely get inside the tube as well.

The present beauty market has several options on this lipstick/lipbalm/lipgloss category. Be it Loreal paris Le Balm, Palladio tinted lipbalm, Maybelline's baby lips etc and the list goes on, these might cost around $4 - 8, but the above 2 things that ive mentioned are worth trying out.

Thats it..
Happy friday..

Makeup Routine:Cheeks & Lips

Earlier...Ive made a post specially dedicated to face and eyes so I guess its time to finally complete this boring series once and all together by doing this last one. Though I often get lazy all the time, this is the maximum makeup that I do if i need to do..or feel like doing it. I often have to struggle myself thinking about the makeup-removing task because Im very frightened about the theory that If i dont remove makeup properly, I would end up with acne by the next day. Though Im deligent enough to remove it, Im always afraid that I might not clean it properly. Anyways, off with ramblings and now on to the subject...here it goes:

Cheeks:
Im not much of a blush person..I know, may be I havent found a good enough blush to get the hang of it...but for now..here are the products that I have in my makeup collection.
1. NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Orange: This is a bright orange. Though it looks toomuch in the pot, it comes out like a nice warm peachy flush of color on cheeks if worn with a very very light hand.
2. Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher in Rose Crush: I bought this waaaaay back, that I dont even remember when. But its just a pink blush, that looks muddy on my cheeks. This is the one that made me think that im unfit for blushes. But now I use it as an eyeshadow... works good in that way for me.

These 2 are the only blushes..and Im now looking for an Orange powder blush...thats cheap enough so that I wouldnt feel the guilt if that doesnt fit me.Jordana, Wet n wild, NYC, Elf, Essence  are the options that I have right now..but not sure whether they carry any orange shades.

Lips:
Coming to the lips..my options are very limited. I cant carry heavy formulas...cos I always tend to blot them away, no matter how hard I try to adjust myself to it. Anyways, I'l put what I have right now with me and share my story about lipsticks later, which I really need to confess.

• Revlon SeuperLustrous Lipstick, in sandstone (mix of bright orange&birck red)
• Revlon MoistureExtreme Lipstick (its discontinued now,dont remember the name,stiker peeled off, but its pink in color)
• Revlon Superlustrous lisptick in Toast of Newyork
• Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick in Peach Me
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Crimson
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Peach
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Coral
• Revlon Colorburst Lipstick, in Rosy Nude
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Heredes (my fav from NYX)
• Nyx Round Lipstick in TeaRose
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Fig
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Margarita
• Nyx Round Lipstick in Indian Pink
• Covergirl Lipperfection lipstick in Impassion
• Covergirl Lipperfection Lipstick in Bewtich
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Sweet Strawberry
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Sugar Cookie
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Berry Colada
• Jordana Easyshine glossy lipcolor in Sugar Plum

Okay..thats a huge list..but im telling you these are all that I have right now...pretty less for a girl right?? yeah..anyways...coming to the lipsticks I have special corner for them in my heart...about which I think I need to share it in another post... However, I think I can end my journey now...because I just feel that I found what i needed. For eg. Jordana Easy shine glossy lipcolor is what I needed. All im looking for is a sheer wash of color, that doesnt dry out my lips and jordana fits there.

Thats it folks...See ya..
Have any queries...ask...Hopefully im thinking of to do the swatch thing soon...its just that im too lazy to get my camera out...u know..all that things...
Okay bye for now..

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks

Okay, this is somekinda Shopping-list post. Or to say my pick on certain shades.
These days 'Revlon Colorburst lipsticks' are very much raved amongst the Beauty bloggers...and I must agree.
I bought one shade in 'Crimson' back in the month of February, and this is my go-to lipstick, when Im in hurry. For events where i need to make an entrance :P ...il swipe it off and on a daily pick-me-up basis, i blot it and thats good to go.
And now that Im completely smitten by the quality and texture of this lipstick, it almost turned in to my HG drugstore lipstick and now i want more (though my husband thinks that I already have too many lipsticks, which is not really true, I must say)

So these days, Im eying these shades: RosyNude, Coral, Peach.
So, that said, I think these might suit almost all indian skin tones.
Rosey Nude: Came to know that its dusty rose brown shade and suits allmost all indian skin tones. My skin tone being warm, couldnt find a proper pink shade that works on me , though I find it NYX round lipstick in 'TeaRose' and Revlon Moisture StayLipcolor(sticker ripped off,so couldnt remember the shade, but its a light pink with coral n purple undertones) to work a bit, but i need a pink, that really flatters me. So i have to try this in pink family. Any more suggestions under pink category??

Peach: To say, I love peachy, orangy tones on my warm skin tone, which brightens up my face eventually, so is why I have to pick peach. Ive read somewhere that its reflective and sheer, which I really dont like. So, this one just to try

Coral: Some say that this coral could be a bold orandy-red, which would blast the color on, but Im thinking that I might pull it off by blotting away the excess and leaving just the stain on.

So, these are the shades that i want for now, searching the web. But dont know how it turns out when i go to the stores.
By the way, which shades do you have...??

Whats the best match of this Lipstick??

Okay..Im back after several days..I guess may be an year or os..but im completely, absolutely busy with my life..or to say I cannot make it to this blogging, but somehow today, I got to remember this abondoned blog of mine..and got a thing to post it..so here i am..

These days, Ive been searching for the perfect lipstick,( not that i dont have any perfect lipsticks, but im in to corals these days)..came across this picture..and really lemming to have that shade.
This looks like a coraly/brown.?!
At present in coral shades,I have Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in 'Sandstone'(its a coral/brown/rusty shade), but its going to hit pan and discontinued and because of that, Im on search and came across this picture.
