DIY: get perfect lips this winter !

hello ladies
i know you all must be enjoying winter season to the fullest
but it is during this time, we need to take care of our skin the most
especially when it comes to dry chapped lips,we tend to experiment and splurge on various lipbalms,lip therapy products etc
So i thought of sharing a quick technique to get that perfect flawless lips to die for
If you want to get this kind of kissable lip>>

 follow the method given below>>>



METHOD:


INGREDIENTS REQUIRED>
1.any petroleum jelly (i chose Vaselline)
2.clean toothbrush
3.any nude moisturizing lipstick of your choice (i chose Maybelline's "My mahogany")
4.lipgloss/lip plumping gloss (i chose Vaselline "Rosy glow" lip care)

step 1 : Apply good amount of vaselline(petroleum jelly) on your lips and keep it for 20 to 30 seconds
step 2 : Take a clean toothbrush and scrub your lips slowly softly in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction with the bristles for around 2 minutes in order to remove dead cells and flaky skin. Make sure that you do it gently because your lips are delicate and sensitive.Then wipe off the dead cells with dampened cloth/cotton.
step 3 : Then take your favourite moisturizing nude lipstick and apply it onto your lips.Remember the lipstick needs to be creamy and should not be matte or drying on your lips
step 4 : Finally take a gloss of your choice and apply it onto your lips. Remember the gloss must be thick and should give a plumping effect to your lips.

So this is it.You can even get perfect lips this winter in less than 5 minutes by just following this method.
You can flaunt your perfect lips by just  following this method before going out for college/office/any get-together /party/occassion or even date  ;)

I hope you all liked this post.
Do share your views about it and let me know if you follow any other technique :)

To begin with, this was actually requested by anuradha (Golden Falcon)
So i thought of sharing this with you all
I have 4 revlon colorburst lipglosses and all the shades are flattering !
The formulation is thick,creamy and moisturizing, provides good pigmentation and can be build up too ,but doesnt settle into fine lines and lasts for a long time on my lips without touch-ups.
They are priced at Rs.475 each . Net quantity-5.9ml and shelf life is-3years.
So here are 2 pictures>>
(L-R)--iced coffee,strawberry fraise, papaya & aubergine

iced coffee is an earthy brown shade with micro golden shimmers in it

strawberry fraise is a rich and vibrant pink with silver golden shimmers in it

papaya is a bright pinky coral shade.(This shade is quite popular and was even out of stock *_*)

aubergine is a semi-opaque plum shade with micro shimmers in it

Overall i just love these !!!!!!
The only con is that i dont like their fragrance..It's kinda different and wierd :D

Thats it

REVIEW: Lakme enrich satins #424

Hello everyone
Today I am going to do review on Lakme enrich satin lipstick in shade # 424
It is a rich coral-ish brown colour
Here are some of it's pictures >>>>>

What the company claims >>


Cast a spell in satin.Rich color takes life in a luxuriously creamy stick that brings satin to your lips.
Enriched with sunscreens, vitamins and the goodness of olives, your lips will have a story to share.
Indulge in a pod of beautiful shades ranging from floral pinks to shimmering peaches .


Here are the shades >>

So here are some of it's pros and cons >>>>


PROS :-


1.The color is perfect for indian complexion. It can be perfect for everyday wear if applied light handed-ly.
It can be perfect for party wear too after 2-3 swipes.
2.Price is rs.225, which is quite reasonable compared to other drugstore brand lipsticks
3.Since it is an indian brand, it is available easily in India
4.The packaging is simple and sturdy
5.Shelf life is 36 months which is good enough


CONS :-

1. Staying power is a big issue with Lakme lipsticks
2. Packaging could have been more attractive
3. As usual the ingredient list is missing =D

MY OVERALL VERDICT >>>>


I personally love the shade and purchased it basically to match with my saree =D
So I will give it 4 out of 5 .

Thats it 

I hope you all liked this mini review

I will be back very soon

Take care everyone

with love,

Bidisha
