Luscious Cosmetics - Super Moisturizing Lipstick - Daisy Pink.

Hello Beautiful!

I'm here with another lipstick review. I reviewed Masarrat Misbah Makeup Lip Varnish in Lust previously. This time it's Luscious Cosmetics Super Moisturizing Lipstick in Daisy Pink. You must have seen this lipstick popping up on my Instagram from time to time and I also used it in a couple of Makeup Looks which I will link at the end of this post. 

What Luscious Cosmetics says?

Luscious Cosmetics offers 23 beautiful shades that range from nudes to vibrant colors in the Super Moisturizing line.

My Thoughts:

Packaging: It comes in a black card-board packaging. I love the sleek silver expensive-looking cylindrical lipstick bullet. The lipstick doesn't feel cheap or plastic-y at all and the cap clasps shut with a click. The shade name is mentioned on a sticker at the bottom. It's travel friendly for sure.

Color: It is described as a "delicate nude pink". On my lips, it's a beautiful mauve-y pink. The shade is perfect for everyday wear. It looks so sophisticated for office and work use and gives just the perfect pink color to the lips. The color pairs up perfectly with subtle and dramatic eye makeup.

Scent: There is no distinct or strong smell. It just slightly slightlyyyy smells plastic-y but that is very very subtle and dissipates after application. 

Formula & Application: It's exactly what it's called, a super moisturizing lipstick with amazing pigmentation that goes on opaque in one swipe! I pretty much summed up the formula and application, didn't I? 
It is a creamy and moisturizing formula that has a satin finish and feels so comfortable on the lips, doesn't emphasize the dry patches and settle much into the fine lines. One swipe is all you need for opaqueness although I like to go over my lips twice and it glides on smoothly. It doesn't get patchy at all no matter how many layers I put. The pigmentation is incredible!

Lasting Power: This lipstick has lasted for 3 hours on me after which it faded somewhat evenly with it getting lightest on the inner rim. It disappears from my lips if I eat but that's what mostly happens with most my lipsticks. Creamy and moisturizing formulas usually don't last that long and I don't mind re-applying it as I just love how much the color compliments me!

Here you can see it applied to my lips and more swatches! Do you guys prefer Lip Swatches or Hand Swatches? Let me know in the comments.

                         Natural Lips                                                               Applied

Weight: 0.12 oz / 3.5 g

Price: Rs. 645 (PKR)

Availability: Website, Scentsation, Naheed Supermarket (Khi).

I would rate this 5 on 5 because this has become my absolute favorite really fast and I have been wearing it almost every day the past two months! I have found my favorite pink with this lipstick!

Here are the makeup looks I did in which I've used Daisy Pink:
Valentines Makeup Look. (Option 2)
Silver Glittery Winter Glam.
New Year's Glam.

I got it from Luscious Cosmetic's website www.iloveluscious.com for Rs. 645. I'm definitely definitely going to get more shades from the Super Moisturizing line because I'm really impressed with the formula and pigmentation! Would I re-purchase if I run out of it? Ohhhh yes! What are your favorite pink lipsticks?

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

January Favorites!

Hello Beautiful!

I decided to share my January Favorites after a whole week of February passed! Why, you ask? Because I was posting about my Beauty Favorites of 2015 through out January :D You must check them out here!

These have been my absolute favorites to use in the month of January!

1) Real Techniques - Buffing Brush from "Core Collection".
          This has been my go to brush for buffing in my foundation. This gives a smooth and streak-less finish! I love how dense enough it is to blend the foundation flawlessly. I also use it to set my T zone with pressed powder by pressing and then buffing it in in circular motions and for blending under eye concealers. It is also great to blend in cream contours. This is such a multi-tasking brush!

2) Luscious Cosmetics - Super Moisturizing Lipstick - Daisy Pink.
          This is the only Lipstick I wore all through January for a Nudey Pink pout! The formula is so pigmented and creamy and it just glides right on without any tugging. Also it lasts for a good amount of time without feathering out the lip line. I have got to grab more colors in this range! I also used it in most of the tutorials I did in January which you can see here.

3) Maybelline - Color Drama Lipstick - Berry Much.
          For some more color and boldness on my lips, I loved using Berry Much throughout January. It is such a gorgeous berry color. I paired Berry Much with minimum makeup looks where I just used a mascara and blush. It is also one of my Top Favorite Winter Lipstick. You can see swatches and read more details here!!

4) Rosebud Perfume Co. - Smith's Rosebud Salve.
          This has been such a staple this winter and I have used nothing but this on my lips to prep them before going in with any lipstick or to keep them hydrated and moisturized. I apply it generously at night and wake up with all the dry skin peeling right off leaving behind soft and supple lips! I love it so so much!

5) Rimmel - Exaggerate Eye Definer - In The Nude:
          I am suffering from Insomnia for the longest time now (every time I use the word 'insomnia' I can't help but sing Craig David's Insomnia -such an amazing song!) and so this has been an absolute favorite to put in y waterline to cancel out any redness and make the eyes look bright and well rested. Since I am all about minimum makeup looks for my everyday life, I love using this in my waterline.

6) Forever 21 - Assorted Ear Studs.
          For the many events, lunches, meetings and get-togethers through out December and January, I have been reaching out for this more than I usually do. I love the assortment of ear studs here. These are perfect for when you wanna keep your jewelry and accessories  to the minimum without skipping them altogether. I have worn each of them and intend to pick more of these with different styles. 

So these were my most used and loved products of January. I make sure to use something different from my collection each month than the previous. 

What were your favorites for the month of January? Let me know! xo

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

My Beauty Favorites of 2015! | LIPS |

Hello Beautiful !

Finally the last part in My Beauty Favorites of 2015 post! Here I'll share all the lipsticks and lip liners that I have loved using through out 2015. Read on to find out why exactly I love each one of them.

1) Maybelline - Color Sensational Lipstick - Lady Red:
          It is such a beautiful  beautiful bright Red, it's somewhere between warm and cool tone. Also the Lipstick has a satin finish and has a very creamy formula that glides on so smoothly on the lips. I love how comfortable it is to wear and it doesn't feather or bleed. I'm wearing this here.

2) Maybelline - Color Sensational Stripped Nudes - Coffee Craze:
          Coffee Craze is a color of a creamy coffee with extra creme. It is neutral toned  and compliments my skin tone so much. It is my all time favorite nude lipstick. Read all about it in the review here.

3) Maybelline - Color Sensational Lipstick - Coral Tonic:
          This was my first lipstick from Maybelline and I'm in loveeeee with the color!! It is a beautiful citrus-y Coral color that is perfect for Spring and Summer and I wore it all through that. Again, the formula is creamy, pigmented and has a satin finish. 

4) Rimmel - Lasting Finish by Kate Moss - 106:
          I wish it had a name rather than a number. The color is a beautiful bright Pink with a creamy matte formula that glides on without tugging and is so incredibly pigmented. I wore it through Spring and Summer. 

5) Rimmel - Lasting Finish Lipstick - Heart Breaker:
          A beautiful Raspberry color with a satin finish -perfect for transitioning from Summer to Fall. I really love the creamy and highly pigmented formula which is comfortable on the lips. I love to just wear a sheer coat of it for casual days and the full blown color for events.

6) Luscious Cosmetics - Super Moisturizing Lipstick - Daisy Pink:
          This became my favorite very quickly! For everyday (I went out) use I was using Coffee Craze but ever since I started using Daisy Pink I loved how it was the perfect pink for me! Also the lipstick is so creamy and pigmented, glides on so smoothly! Now it's my favorite everyday pink!

7) Luscious Cosmetics - Ultra Smooth Lip Liner - Chai Latte:
          This has been my Go To lip liner to line and fill my lips with under all the nude colors. The color has a peach tone to it and compliments brown-y, peach-y and pink-y nude colors.
It glides on smoothly without any tug.

8) Luscious Cosmetics - Ultra Smooth Lip Liner - Ruby:
          This is such a beautiful color to even wear on its own! Ruby is a beautiful Red that compliments all the Red lipsticks I have. It is more of a neutral toned Red if not cool. I love how soft it is to just glide on the lips without any tugging.

It was hard narrowing down my picks more since I used and loved a lot of products in 2015! Make sure you are following me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for swatches of these lipsticks. Let me know if you want a full review on any of the mentioned lipsticks. Also what were your favorite lipsticks from 2015?

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!

Silver Glittery Winter Glam | Makeup Look

Hello Beautiful!

I recently asked all the lovely ladies what kind of "Winter" Makeup Look would they want me to do and some of you replied with a Silver eye look along with Winter Day Time/Neutral Looks, so I decided to do a more glam look before doing a day time look! 

I did a Silver glittery eye makeup and paired it up with a Muted Pink Lipstick. I usually do more warm eye looks but this time I did a cool-toned eye makeup as I felt it'll compliment the Silver more. Also I did a completely different foundation routine, for this look, than I usually do and it turned out pretty good!

As always I'll try to keep the steps precise!

Products Used:

Face:

• L'oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Ultra Hydrating Gel-Cream.
• Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation in 53.
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
• Masarrat Misbah Makeup - Stay on Blusher - Shell Bronze.
• Becca x Jaclyn Hill - Shimmering Skin Perfector - Pressed - Champagne Pop.
• Sleek Contour Kit - Light.

Tools Used:

• Real Techniques Blush Brush.
• e.l.f Studio Blush Brush.
• e.l.f. Kabuki Brush.
• Angled Contour Brush.

Eyes:

• Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - 15.
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
• Makeup Revolution - Eyeshadow Palette- Iconic 2. [Dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 2]
• Christine - Glitter Pot - Silver.
• e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set.
• Color Studio Professional Hypno Black Eye Marker.
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Milk.
• Maybelline Rocket Volum'Express Mascara.

Tools Used:

• Morphe Brushes Blending Brush MB23.
• Color Studio Professional Blending Brush.
• e.l.f Shader Brush.
• A pencil Brush

Lips:

• Luscious Cosmetics Super Moisturizing Lipstick in Daisy Pink.

Steps:

Eyes:

1. After priming my eyes with Fit Me Concealer up to the brown-bone, I set it with the Pressed Powder.
2. For the transition color I blended in the 5th (from the Left) shade [UD Tease] with MB 23. I layered and blended this shade until I was happy with the intensity. I used it as a transition shade initially so kept it light and diffused.
3. With a denser blending brush like the Color Studio Blending Brush I buffed in the same shade into my crease and the outer corners, building up the color and blending the edges with MB23. I did it a few times until the edges were soft and diffused while my crease and outer corners were darker but blended. 
4. With a shader brush I applied the 9th (from the Left) shade [UD Verve] to my lids and further packed it with elf mist and set for that foiled look. Spray e.l.f Mist and Set on any shimmery or glittery eyeshadow to immediatey intensify the pigmentation.
5. With Color Studio Brush I blended the creases.
6. With a flat shader brush sprayed with Mist and Set, I picked up the Glitter from the pot and patted it on the center of the lids.
7.  (Okay Gul, enough with the with-s!) I lined my waterline with NYX Milk and smoked by lower lash line with the same crease shade with a pencil brush.
8. After applying a rather long winged-eyeliner, I coated my lashes using Maybelline The Rocket Mascara.
9. I also applied a bit of the Silver eyeshadow on inner corners of the lower lash line.

Face:

1. I mixed the moisturizer and foundation in 2:1 ratio and applied that all over my face and neck with my fingers. I wasn't able to use 123 Perfect in this season as it emphasized my dry patches but with this technique I loved the finish -comfortable and not completely matte on the face, rather it had a healthy looking glow.
2. I set my foundation lightly with pressed powder so that other powders (such as blusher & contour etc) could blend easily on top.
3. I contoured my face using the Sleek Palette with an Angled Brush.
4. I used my Holy Grail Blusher on my cheeks (duh) and highlighted the high points like the top of my cheeks, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow with Champagne Pop. It was hard to stop bathing in Champagne Pop!

Lips:

1. I had already prepped my lips with Rosebud Salve when I started with my eyes.
2. For lipstick I applied Daisy Pink by Luscious Cosmetics. It is such a beautiful everyday muted pink color! 

So here's the Silver Glittery Winter Glam Makeup Look! (and that was a mouthful!). I really like how the eye makeup turned out, it sparkled more than it has come out in the pictures. This is definitely a party/night out look but if this is Day Time for you then, well you know, you do you boo! I'll do a more Day Time/Natural Winter look in a week's time.

I would love to see how you recreate this and don't forget to share it with me with the hash-tag #gulezehrasblog! Also tag me in your Winter Makeup Looks!! I would love to see what you talented ladies come up with!

My First Luscious Cosmetics Haul !

Hello Beautiful!

Here I am with yet another haul. This isn't my first haul of 2016, I actually hauled this in the end of 2015 but forgot to post due to the wedding season and getting the Mega Giveaway ready for you all! Which, by the way, is now happening! Follow me on my Social Media to take part. There's a lot to win!

So coming back to the haul, Luscious Cosmetics has been around for a very long time but this was my first time purchasing their products after I became obsessed with beauty and makeup products!

Luscious Cosmetics:

What I Hauled?

a) Signature Lipstick - Nude Pink.

b) Super Moisturizing Lipstick - Daisy Pink.

c) Color Stories Eyeshadow Trio - Midnight Feast.

d) Ultra Smooth Lip Liner - Chai Latte.

e) Ultra Smooth Lip Liner - Ruby.

I purchased these online from their website which was hassle-free and the delivery was on time too. The order arrived in a black box and the products inside were wrapped in one big bubble wrap. I had a good experience placing the order online and my order arrived safely which was my main concern.
They have a blog of their own which was very helpful in terms of swatches although lipsticks are always a hit or miss because they appear different on different lips but I'm so glad the shades I got suit me perfectly! I'll do a separate review on each of these soon.

On the website, the Signature Lipsticks and Super Moisturizing Lipsticks are available for Rs. 775 and Rs. 645 respectively. The Eyeshadow Trio is for Rs. 445 and the Lip Liners are for Rs. 315. 

Let me know if you have any favorites from Luscious Cosmetics and I'll love to give it a try.

Until next time, Good Luck and Ciao!
