Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Saturday, January 30, 2010 4 comments
I really liked Sassy Minerals! They answer to the emails, send products quickly , I was more than happy to receive their samples for a review , my order was dispatched on Jan 23 and i received it on Jan 30 ,keeping in mind the distance of both countries , its super fast.Sassy ship to many countries including the Pakistan.
 
 My order arrived in a bubble mailer.  Inside the little jars where all in a little produce type net tied with a ribbon.  
with a handwritten thank you note(sweet isn't it?) 

I am so glad i mean its so nice that they come in a jar! i hate the little baggies*No offense*. There seems to be about 1/8tsp in each jar, seems pretty good amount for samples

They all look so shimmery and gorgeous, and very pigmented.My first impression was that their colours seem a bit dull and boring on the website. When in reality they're so rich and vibrant!

E.L.F Prime Plum Lipctick( not so plum)

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Saturday, January 30, 2010 2 comments

I am not a brand slave when it comes to beauty esp makeup, there are so many brands to explore and try, I do believe in quality though NO COMPROMISE on tis one. I got so many lipglosses and lipstick that its hard to tell which one is my favorite .. i heart all my lippies .
Okay so i am going to blog about eyes lips face lipstick in prime plum today.I love the formula and the consistency of E.l.f lipstick line, it just glides on so smoothly on to the lips with its perfect color pay off. Also, it is long lasting
The packaging looks very professional, it's a sleek black, very sturdy with Elf's logo imprinted on the side. You might want to prime and moisturizer your lips first for more moisture.
So let me break it down for you
Prime Plum ..Plum? More like brown..it is fairly dark and a little brown. It's a nice cool color I would wear under brighter glosses. The coverage is medium, heavier coverage with more layers to make it really dark. This one is very pigmented and very brown (YES!! brown Not Plum)



Where to buy and Price of Product~
You can purchase it off ELF's site eyeslipsface for a barging price of £3.50 you can pay a lot more than that for a mineral lipstick.



Ladies, if you ever get a chance to get your hands on one of these beauties, go and get them  the shades are beautiful and perfect for work, school, date, etc and they are super affordable cruelty free .


Which is your Favourite Eyeslipsface (E.L.F) lippie shade? Any recommendations??

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Friday, January 29, 2010 0 comments
Yesterday  i was in such a gloomy and not-so-happy mood, if you follow me on twitter you would know and if you don't.. FOLLOW ME ;) i was down and nothing made me happy until Got mail!!

Cheri over at Orglamix was kind enough to send me some samples of her eyeshadows to review.



I received 3 awesome colors of Orglamix mineral makeup in my mail.I couldn't wait. I opened them immediately., package arrived in a bubble mailer sound and safely ,Inside my shadows were bundled together in a cute black organza bag. with a thank you note and three petals, they have some sort of perfume on them,and OH MY GOD they smelled divine, i lurved it and mom couldn't stop her self from smelling them :D





Mocha:Lush, rich and gorgeous-- this decadent reddish chocolate kind of  brown has a sumptuous golden sheen.
Cafe Au lait:I love this for a brow highlighter or shadow, beautiful shimmery color almost warm vanilla !  it's a gold-ish bone color and I just love it. Absolutely stunning
Cardamom: I adore this colour. It's a lovely subtle earthy shade that helps to contour the eye .its like a brown taupe with hint of green shimmer.absolute gorgeous




 
(Applied Dry** look at the shimmer.*pure love)


(Applied Wet and they look more divine this way)

All the eye shadows I received have great staying power, are super soft.Orglamix eyeshadow are highly pigmented and  i found them easy-blending,The eyeshadow  are finer in texture .I enjoyed the colours that I was given  and I really liked using them, my main concern regarding loose eyeshadows is fall out, i was pleased that with orglamix eyeshadows, i had no such issue.

Chanel : Levres Scintillantes Glossimer in Mica

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Tuesday, January 26, 2010 8 comments

From Chanel:

"CELESTIAL SHIMMER: Discover a mesmerizing lip colour collection inspired by Mademoiselle Chanel's fascination with the constellations. Eight exquisite new shades of Levres Scintillantes Glossimer bring a brilliant reflection of light to the lips."

This collection includes:

TOP ROW (left to right): Meteore, Venus, Silex & Mirage

BOTTOM ROW (left to right): Cosmos, Jupiter, Nebula & Mica

 
(google image)
My dad and brother travels alot , last summer they visited singapore and they bought me some Chanel makeup,
One of them was Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer in Mica
 Of course I fell in love with all of them! These pictures didn’t capture the glitteriness of them
mica is almost a pure sheer with glitter. It has a pale pink base with purple and pink sparkles. This lip gloss is not sticky or drying to the lips. I love the pigmentation, consistency and staying power. It looks beautiful alone, and over a lipstick. , i usually wear it over a lipstick to give it that extra umpf

 


(look at the beautiful sparkle)
 I never expected to see it show so nice on my already pigmented lips,to my surprise it looked great, On my lips it is slightly colorless, but light hits my lips  the iridescence adds a beautiful dimension of sparkle. This is one very gorgeous and unique gloss., its perfect if you want something really pretty, not too loud, but not blah. It makes my lips glimmer and shine. It basically gives me the "wet look.



Have you tried any of Chanel  Levres Scintillantes Glossimer ?? if Yes what is your favorite one ? if Not i highly recommend it.

Korres Lip Butter Pomegranate Review , Swatch and Pictures

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Wednesday, January 20, 2010 11 comments

Ever since i read Sarah Smith's post on korres Lip butter in jasmine ,


you can read the review here on Sarah's Blog.
,
i have been oohhhing and aahhing to get one of my own,I was introduced to Korres line this summer and they are starting to become one of my favorite makeup line ( although its sad its not yet available in my country so i have to order online). One of their most popular product is their Lip Butter and Nothing shall stop a makeup addict
I wanted to buy ALL OF THEM ,They come in 7 different colors: Quince, Wild Rose, Plum, Pomegranate, Jasmine, Guava, and Mango.(as i know now)
but told myself to calm down , and pick one. i Chose pomegranate ( i love the fresh pomegranate juice and the color :D)



""For conditioned, protected lips try Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter, the intense moisture and subtle tint will leave your lips feeling and looking truly kissable!
The shea butter and rice wax in Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter provide your lips with deep, long-lasting moisture and protection from the elements, leaving you with perfectly soft and conditioned lips that are good enough to kiss!
Pomegranate is a burnt pink shade which leaves a subtle shiny tint on your lips.""
If your lips are flakey, be sure to exfoliate your lips thoroughly before applying this lip butter.




What i loved about korres lip butter is that it doesn't have the waxy feeling,
It  made my lips so soft and i couldn't stop rubbing my lips together
This lip butter does have a tint and fruity taste which I don’t mind in fact i loveeeee it..Really addictive  , but, if not to your liking , think its moisturizing effects are still worthwhile.

Luscious Nail Lacquer In Caramel -Review,photos & Notd

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Monday, January 18, 2010 10 comments

There is only local brand i keeping going back again and again, LUSCIOUS .
They are cruelty free with most amazing quality products.
I have tried their products and i simple love them and when i saw that they recently 
launched nail lacquers, No one Shall stop me

here i present you

Luscious Nail Lacquer In Caramel 09

( Their nail polish bottle looks a lot like OPI ones)
find the comparison below with OPI Heart Throb












Its creamy , nudish and Oh so lovely on my nails

Two coats were enough to obtain fabulous color ,its thick and creamy , its so shiny i didn't even have to use topcoat.This was my first time using a luscious polish and all I could say was, “Wow, that’s MATTE alright!

And they are not costly as well , so i might try all yes ALL of their shades, although there weren't to many options :(

I suppose they released only few shades






 If you would want to try their nail polishes , luscious do international shipping, their nail polishes aren't available online  yet, i have emailed Mehrbano to confirm the availability , i will post it here once confirmed
.
*update* their website will be updated within the next two weeks. The nail polishes will be showcased on the site but will not be available for online order due to restrictions as a "hazardous goods item" by shipping services.



could it be a affordable dupe for O.P.I Heart throb ??? any comments
