Gala of London Liquid Lipsticks - Twig & Passion

Hello there everyone.

Today I'm reviewing liquid lipsticks from a brand called Gala of London. They are very affordable liquid lipsticks and the colours of the lipsticks are stunning and so I got them from Nykaa. Gala of London is an Indian drugstore brand which offers many makeup products at an affordable rate. The colours from the Long Stay Lip Colour are mainly from the groups of reds, bright pinks, plums and oranges.

Packaging: The liquid lipsticks come in a bottle with a silver cap and looks pretty cheap. The applicator is a doe-foot applicator and does its job fairly well. The lipsticks come in a silver cardboard box with information about the lipstick mentioned on it.

Quantity: 1.6ml


Price: 250 INR


Key Ingredients: Ozokerite Wax, White Bees Wax, Candellila Wax, Light liquid Paraffin, Caprilic Capric Triglyceride, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter Organic Refined, Paraffin, Vitamin E, Perfume, Castor Oil, Pearls & approved colours.


Review: Although the in the description of the product it mentions that the lipstick is a lip gloss and imparts a sheen but it actually is flat matte liquid lipstick. The pigmentation of the lipsticks is bang on; with one swipe it gives full coverage. It is so pigmented that it is very easy to go wrong with it. So to avoid such error, I get rid of the excess product from the wand and then apply it. If not applied in excess then the product sets like a powder and is non-sticky as well. The best part is that it doesn't dry our lips like most other liquid lipsticks. It easily lasts for 4-5 hours even with snacking in between, after which it starts fading from the centre of the lips.
Twig: It is a beautiful bright, rusty orange that will suit all skin tones and is a perfect fun colour for summers.
Passion: It is a gorgeous plum shade which will complement all skin tones and is more fall appropriate. Both these colours are unique in my collection.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Kohl Liner Pencil - Simma Brown Now

Packaging:   It ha s colour-coded packaging and hence brown in colour. It is a very long pencil (it might last me for a decade) that needs to be sharpened after 4-5 uses. The cap is a transparent one and had all the details of the product stuck in it.   Wet n Wild Color Icon Kohl Liner Pencil - Simma Brown Now   Quantity: 1.4 grams Price: INR 135   Ingredients List: Beeswax/Cire d’abeille, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax/Cire de carnauba, Ceresin, Petrolatum, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, Mica, Chromium Oxide Greens/CI 77288, Iron Oxides/CI 77491, CI 77499.   Swatches!! (Left: 1 swipe     Right: 3 swipes)   Review: Would you be in shock if I say that I use this kohl pencil as a brow pencil? I seriously do it. The texture is waxy enough to be used as a brow pencil. It isn't the smoothest kajal pencil but better than those which crumble on account of their softness. Hence, I use it

Suncros Aquagel SPF 26 Review

Hello everyone. Today I'm going to review a sunscreen which is the Suncros Aquagel Sunscreen with spf 26. Of late I am only using products that are paraben free. As most of you know, paraben is a class of compounds that are used in cosmetics as a preservative. Although parabens help to keep our makeup and skin care products bacteria free, however it is said cause hormonal disturbance in our body. Hence, I prefer to be on the safer  side. I have used sunscreens from Lakme, Lotus, Khadi, Neutrogena and they all contain paraben. The Khadi sunscreen claims to be paraben free but I don't like its texture. On much research and consultation with a dermatologist I came across Suncros sunscreen. Suncros Aquagel Spf 26 Now, Suncros has many variants of sunscreens. You can find both cream and gel formulae sunscreens. Although this one has the term "gel"  in it, but the texture is actually that of a cream.  Packaging:   The sunscreen comes in a cubical c
