Review: Faces Canada Silk Glam on Lipstick - Barely There

Review: Faces Canada Silk Glam on Lipstick - Barely There - 101

This is my first lipstick from Faces-Canada cosmetics, and when I saw the packaging, I was quite impressed. However, when I saw the bullet, I was a bit surprised seeing it all white in color (I mean white lipstick!). However, it didn't turn out what it looked like (Thank goodness, can't imagine wearing something white on my lips!), and is actually true to its name – “Barely there”. Its a translucent glossy lipstick.

Price: INR 499

My experience with this lipstick:

I have medium pigmented lips, which keep on changing color for no apparent reason - sometimes they look pink, sometimes white and sometimes even grey! I love to sport colors on my lips and for that matter even my lip balms are tinted. When I tried using this lipstick, I felt it more like a clear lip balm - just with a bit higher level of staying power on my lips. The lipstick is quite moisturizing and gives a soft glossy finish to my lips, which can work well with smoky eyes, provided you add a touch of color from your gloss. I've also tried using this lipstick over my bright lipsticks like Rimmel London's Color show off lipstick in "Shocking Pink" shade, to tone down the color a bit and bring a soft shine to its otherwise matte finish, and it has worked well there.

Below is a list of likes and dislikes that I've felt about this lipstick:

Likes:

1) Comes in a nice sturdy packaging with a glossy cover and secured locking system.

2) The lipstick is quite moisturizing to my lips.

3) The texture is pretty smooth and it glides easily on my lips.

4) I like the floral fragrance it has.

5) Quite ok for the price and quantity.

Dislikes:

The lipstick is basically like a lip balm in a lipstick packaging. It is transparent, brings a soft whitish glaze to the lips, and the only difference I've found between this and a clear lip balm is that the staying power of this lipstick is more than a lip balm. It stays on my lips for around 1.5 hours. Though tricky to use on your looks, you can still fit it in to subdue your bright colors and bring some shine on your matte lips (if you don't want to use gloss!)

Overall verdict:

I like the packaging, texture, smoothness, faint floral fragrance and moisturizing attributes of this lipstick. I'd like to try more lipsticks from Faces now, in different shades. As far as this lipstick is concerned, I don't see why one should get it, when the same thing can be achieved from a lip balm. I think you can give it a pass.

Rating: 3/5

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses. I bought the shade 04 Glimmer: Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss Like usual glosses, it comes

Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts The best way to spend four hours of waiting period in Dubai transit is to do shopping. In all the shopping I did there, I bought this particular lotion as well. The main reasons behind buying this lotion were: 1) I wanted to try Olay as a brand as I’d heard a lot of good stories about it. 2) I wanted a light moisturizing face lotion that has SPF, UVA/UVB protection and could be worn easily below my foundation for day wear.
