coral pink and pure plum

hola mi chikitas,

i m back with a lipstick.

let me admit something,. i m a lipstick person . not a gloss, stain etc etc person. so there will be more lipstick reviews here than anything else . so if you are looking for a lipgloss etc review.. move on , go ahead , scamp off!

so here are two lippies from my most favorite ever lipstick formula. nothing has even come close to them at their price point and quality.since i hate glosses. these are my colloquials for it.

 MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL MOISTURE EXTREMES 

 i have reviewed this formulation before . so i wont be going in to the details .you can check it out here.

the packaging in flash

CORAL PINK:-

as the name suggests its a beautiful coral pink colour with a dash of orange (pantone color of the year). right mix of coral and pink making it flattering across warm as well as cool toned skins. the coral works well for warm skins and the pink in it for cool skins. the best part is the pigmentation . despite being a light shade it works well on my pigmented lips and doesnt make my face look dead and ashy. . its such a brightening colour for these dark monsoon days.it does not have any shimmer in it unlike brick rose does. leaves a pink stain .its a creme finish. summery and stunning

TIP:-

scared to wear such a bold colour? but still lemming it? 

try applying it lightly using your fingertips at the centre of your lips and then outwards . then press your lips together for au naturale just bitten stained look!

PURE PLUM:-

ever searched for a work safe red? tired of wearing traffic light reds all the time? well , your search ends here.pure plum is a brown based red with plum undertones. nothing is very plummy about this shade to call it pure plum.i find it more suitable on warmer skin tones . its perfect for medim to deeper skin . i suggest lighter skin tones to apply it lighlty to avoid looking clowny. its my shade when i have an presentation etc in college. leaves a pretty reddish stain.again a very face brightening shade!

natural light

TIP:-

since its a darker colour , its easy to mess up during application. use a lip brush to apply . build up light layers and blot between layers till desired intensity is achieved. this way your lips will look perfect and stay that way for a long time!

kryolan blusher - shade T1

hey i am back with review .
everyone get excited ......... its the famous, wonderful and elusive German  brand KRYOLAN!
this is the blush featured in my haul here
this came as a requested review from bidisha of glisteningkaleidoscopiceyes and deeptima of beautyunleashedwithdeeptima.

so you all can obviously imagine my excitement when i found this blushing beauty at beauty palace , Crawford market , cst , Mumbai. and as the s.a swatched this on my hand , i was sold !

kryolan blusher in t1

•  now enough bak bak. here comes the review.
• cost- 350 inr . since beauty palace is discounted . i got it for 315 inr .... woohoooo!
• net weight- 2.5 g ie 0.11 oz
• made in Germany

what they claim :- ( from the KRYOLAN  website ):-
KRYOLAN Blusher is a color-intensive compact rouge on a cream-powder base. 

This fine, micronized product assures a pleasant velvety feeling on the skin. The extraordinary selection of more than 32 different colors satisfies all expectations.

my thoughts about it :-
i lovvvvvvvvvveeeee the shade . i cant stop gushing about it . after i brought it home i stared at its beauty for a while totally mesmerized.

it has a classic silver plastic compact with a transparent lid. it's sturdy enough to be thrown in your bag and carried but not sturdy enough to withstand a fall . it doesn't  have a mirror or an applicator so not useful for touch-ups on the go .
its a beautiful warm pinky peachy coral shade that will suit almost all skin tones . perfect for summers.
however, ladies with fairer skin tones might need to use it with a lighter hand as they are massively pigmented.
its a very finely milled powder that is not so densely packed together. so it can stir up quite some fallout .

after taking the pictures i decided to wash my hands and get to work. And the blush stayed on....it was totally ans "omg-i-cant-f*****g-believe-it" moment for me.

since its my second powder blush i cant really compare it to anything . its staying power is much more better than my faces blush in rose gold .on my super oily in summer skin it stays well upto 7 - 8 hrs when properly set over foundation and compact .

lets come to the crux of it all.

PROS:-

• beautiful ,true to the pan colour
• large number of shades available to suit all skin tones
• decent staying power
• quite decent quantity
• finely milled
• not an horror to blend
• can suit people with both warm and cool undertones without looking too pink or too orange
• not an oompa loompa or an i m a clown shade ( why did i even type that .... guess i am mesmerized ....stares some more at the blush while salivating at the mouth )
• not an exorbitant price .. even a broke student like me could afford
• it is can be used-by-a-makeup-noob-like-me-easy to use.

CONS:-

• availability
• the dust cloud it creates on swirling a brush through it

i wont count the lack of mirror and applicator as a con . we anyway throw out the applicators and we don't apply blush in  a taxi or train ( usually....hehehe)

RATING:-

4/5 

one point reduced for availability and fall out.

WOULD I RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS :-

yesss, yessss, yessss. grab one anyway u can readers ! 

so what are your favourite blush shades ? have you tried the brand kryolan before?
