Essence Lip Liner - Satin Mauve

How are you all doing gals? I am currently obsessed with lip liners. Yes, I use them not only as a lip liner but also as a lip colour or lipstick. This particular one is from a brand called Essence which is available on Amazon and Nykaa. I chose the shade Satin Mauve to give this line a shot. From the day I received this, I've been addicted to this lip liner. And why not? This is just fantastic. Let me make a point right here itself: do buy this lip liner if you're addicted to lip liners. If you want more details, then please read the following as well.

Review:
This lip liner is the smoothest lip liner I've ever used. And I'm pretty sure that I will never find a lip liner as smooth or buttery like the Essence lip liner. This actually feels like lipstick in a pencil form. The tip of the pencil is silky soft and hence is susceptible to breaking when you sharpen it. However, before sharpening the pencil I store it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes so that it gets firm (that's a tip!). The pigmentation is very good and there's no tugging of the lips during application. If you are using this as a lipstick, then the staying power is about 3 hours with some snacking in between. Satin mauve is a beautiful violet/mauve shade, suitable for all skin tones. The finish of the lip liner is not matte but satin finish.

  • Good pigmentation
  • Prevents lipsticks from bleeding

Final Verdict:
4/5. If you are looking for affordable lip liners with wide range of colours, Essence lip liners are for you. There are most of the times out of stock on Nykaa. If you find them available anywhere, just grab them all.

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

(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
