Lip Loves - Deborah Milano 24 ore extreme long lasting Lipstick - Review & Swatches

Today I am going to share with you my latest Lip LOVE- Deborah Milano 24 ore extreme long last lipstick.
Its an Italian brand which has been around for some time ( 2 years) in India.The SA said its a popular brand among runway models in the west!!

I first tried deborah when i was looking for a good matte lipstick and just could not find good (decent, wearable, pretty, brightening) shades!!!
I bought 2 matte lippies that time - one atomic red and one from 24 ore power range. I was really happy with these too.... very smooth and comfortable on the lips....only downside being - not too long lasting.

NOW even that seems to have been solved with the 24 ore extreme long lasting lipstick. I bought one (from New U and also got a free eyeshadow with it :)- more about it later).

The first shade was 09 (no names ?!) which is a lovely rusty peach shade which looks fabulous on the lips (looks a little lighter on lips than in tube). I can safely say it can look good on all fair - medium complexions!! And boy! it lasts and lasts - even after eating, kissing your hubby - you still have a beautiful stain left. This shade also brightens up my complexion and looks like a million bucks! I loved it Sooooooooo much that  I went and bought another one in Shade-07 - will review it soon! Shade -07 Review HERE

Just apply it evenly and wait 10 seconds to set - now give a flying kiss!!! Now look at your hand, hardly anything comes off !

What the company says:
They have a website and all but hardly any detailed information there.... interestingly this lipstick is not mentioned! pity coz its a damn good one!
What I could find described this lipstick perfectly-
"Ultra-comfortable glide-on formula for velvety smooth lips that stay perfect all day long."
In the ingredients I could find the mention of 'grape-seed oil' - sounds good to me!

 Price- Rs.595/-
Quantity - Nothing mentioned! - looks like 3.5 g approx


YAY's

• Ultra-comfortable glide-on-formula (yeah!)
• Long lasting - without oily food etc - even upto 6-7 hours!
• Looks satin smooth- does not emphasize lip lines!
• Good pigmentation - can give opaque finish very well - so even pigmented lip beauties can enjoy this one!
• Does not dry out your lips.
• Good looking classy, sturdy packaging - I love the matte gold cover!

NAY's

• Limited shade selection - About 10 shades are there - though most are wearable.
• A little pricey at 595/- but good if you get free gifts! :P
• No information available other than on the lipstick - which is Very limited!
• No product weight mentioned!!!

 Its pretty na!! the highlighter in this a good one!

I would say - overall a Must Buy if you are in the market for a long lasting matte lipstick! If you want to wear mattes but hated their dryness - give these a try!

As for me I am so in Love with these that I am  gonna buy another one soon- though my fridge sighs under my growing lipstick collection-  but I can't have enough long-last mattes especially in summers!( yeah chronic sweating is a constant danger to my lipstick getting smudged- though not this one :-D!!!)

See ya around soon!

An Eye for an Eyeliner : Swatches and Review !

Eyeliners have been the favourites with me for instant glam and that hint of colour even on your average-jane-days!

I knew I was an eyeliner person right from the day I started wearing makeup. I started with black.... liquid eyeliner first... then my love for colour eventually showed up! Even then back in the 90's  when makeup brands and choices were very limited in India - I managed to score a silver eyeliner from Elle18 and literally started a new trend in my college at least!


To cut a long story short - You can see how much I love eyeliners from the pics below...

Finally the marathon Review :

1. Maxfactor kohl pencil (Black) Rs.220/-- It gives very dark black line- creamy and non-tugging to apply. stays ok on upper lash line but smudges on lower lash line very soon.
2. Maybelline colossal kajal (Black)Rs. 150/ - BEST value for money. Creamy, smooth, blackest-black, rich pigmentation, non-tugging and Only Rs.150/- and stays put from morning till evening. The inner rims of lower lash line (waterline) fade a little after sometime but magically no panda eyes at all! My current favorite black liner! I have noticed that if you don't remove it properly after wearing it for the day then the gradual build-up of the kajal will make the kajal smudge !!! SO always remove it properly with a makeup remove to keep it smudge-proof!!
3. Maybelline unstoppable (Black)Rs. 220/- - It tugs the eyes when applied.kinda waxy. Multiple swipes give you a black liner but not the darkest-black as i like.If put on the upper eyelids- it stays good but not so much for waterline
4. Bourjois Khol &contour  (02- Gris igenieux :-greyish black) Rs. 220/-approx. got it free with my bourjois shopping.... a dark grey matt colour- creamy to apply but smudges easily esp on waterline.
5. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Grey) Rs.190-220/- All of them are creamy and easy to apply... I dont usethem inside my waterline ...as i only like shades of black/brown there... but on upper lash line - they work pretty good... They have medium to good pigmentation... my first forays into coloured liners after oriflame. Many colours to choose from.All are shimmery kinds. Last long on upper eyelids.
6. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Pink) - On its own, makes my eyes look a little like i have the pink-eye. best used with black liner below. pearly-mauve-pink in colour.
7. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Green) - fav of them... great everyday shade - but have to swipe at least 4-5 times to get the colour i want - henna green.
8. Maybelline eyestudio- Vivid &smooth (Gold)- soft golden colour. best used on eyed with some mascara... gives your eyelids a lift.
9. Lakme glide on eye colour (Turquoise Blue) Rs.250/- - Soft, creamy and  mainly awesome colour. avg colour pay-off. 2-3 swipes give me the desired turquoise blue colour. lasts long on upper eyelids.
10. Bourjois (36.Lagon ensoleille - Turq. Blue) - another Freebie - Love it a lot!. a lovely turquoise blue with silver glitter. good pigmentation.
11. Clinique cream shaper for eyes (06- Starry plum) - Surprisingly not very pigmented- 2-3 swipes required to get true plum colour. Its a dark purple kind of colour i got in a set from clinique -dunno the exact cost of this. Long-lasting and creamy enough to not tug eyelids.But i wish the colour was a bit more bright. Subtle shimmer only makes the colour less opaque for me.
12. Oriflame hypnotic shimmer eye pencil (Silver Frost) - L.E. Dont remember the original price but i got them for Rs.120/-or something. Soft and creamy to apply. good pigmentation.nice metallic silver colour.
13. Oriflame hypnotic shimmer eye pencil (Emarald Ice)- L.E. - very pretty colour. true to name - stays long on upper eyelids. wish it was a permanent liner in oriflame.soft like a dream.
