The Body Shop - Lip & Cheek Stain Review

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Thursday, September 23, 2010 2 comments



What it is:

Give cheeks a healthy glow and lips a wash of color with a dual-purpose stain that complements all complexions.

What does it do:
  • Gel-based formulation is fast drying and easy to blend.
  • Glycerin and pathenol moisturize lips and improve hydration.
  • Angled applicator brush and well on the stem pack is designed for easy application, while minimizing product spillage.

How to use it: Dab on cheeks or lips using the provided applicator, then blend using your fingertips or our Professional Makeup Sponge.
To keep your lips kissably soft, exfoliate two to three times a week with our Lip Scuff. Because the Lip & Cheek Stain is fast drying, apply to one cheek at a time to allow more time for blending.



I have a couple of lip and cheek stains  including Benefit's benetint , Revlon's Pinch me for cheeks and Just bitten for lips. I prefer using them in hotter weather when i dont feel like wearing much makeup and keep it natural and minimal.The great thing about tints is of course, is that they do not come off easily.
If you like to travel a lot like me and you want to pack light unlike me then The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain is a great way to save space.
I usually found tints  easier to use by first dabbing it on and blending with my fingers.It stains fingers, so you have to remember to wash hands after applying it if you are applying it with fingers as i do.At first application it doesn't show up as much, but i keep layering it until i get my desired shade.I usually wear it in my cheeks but when i am wearing it on my lips , i mostly add gloss or some lip stick to give my lips a little Omphh !!
The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain has no smell and taste which i love about it.Texture  alot better than benetint. Its not as watery as that, infact it has gel like consistency, which i find non sticky.
The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain contains Panthenol and Glycerin which moisturise and hydrate the skin! 

Packaging:  The Stain comes in a clear tube with a silver lid and a doe foot applicator


Final Say:
This is a great product to have around .Just add a dash of this Lip & Cheek S
tain and you'll look fresh and natural without the fuss.

Ingredients :Water, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Panthenol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Methylparaben, Aminomethyl Propanol, Red 33.

Nails of the Eid Day - Eyeko Punk Polish

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Thursday, September 16, 2010 3 comments
My friends from Eyeko send me Two new polishes to try , I got them the day before chand raat , its the day before eid*confused*





An Eyeko classic back by popular demand!  For nails with attitude punk it up with fluro pink – after all “Pink is the only true rock n roll colour” Paul Simonon, The Clash.

Its a beautiful bright neon pink color. I have a soft spot for bright pink nails.

I wore Eyeko Punk polish on eid day. Its highly pigmented so i needed one coat for opage coverage. The formula, as always, is really easy to apply.

 I forgot to bring base coat with me so definitely use a base coat as it may stain your nails





 You can buy this from : eyeko.com

eyeko ships internationally.

Next cant wait to show you how girly and glittery the Eyeko Chi Chi polish is.


 Do you do Neon Nails?

A beautiful Barbie pink shine shade.

A beautiful Baby pink , i love this shade., it looks equally beautiful on lips as in tube.
I love the wand as it comes with a brush instead of deo foot applicator.
It had that weird smell , which Luscious Ultra Shine Lip Gloss Delight had. Quite disguising i say



Price : Rs 395.00


Where to buy :It can be purchased in stores nation wide or online from Luscious website.

L-O-V-E Sigma F 30 Large powder brush-- Review

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Tuesday, September 14, 2010 10 comments
When it comes to professional makeup brushes, there is no better choice then Sigma Beauty. You can purchase the whole brush roll, or buy them one by one. Check out their huge selection at Sigmabeauty.com

Large Powder Brush 


What it is: 
Very dense with a rounded top. Ideal to apply powder products on face and body. Natural bristles.









This is probably my favorite brush that I own. I have used it in almost all my youtube videos from the day i got it. I have only have a handful of mix brushes from Coastal scents , E.L.F and Luscious. My makeup brushes collection rapidly increased after i started blogging.
Sigma F 30 is a very dense brush with a rounded top.Its made of natural Bristles.It has a long, sturdy handle and it just feels luxurious to me when i am using it.It is  really ideal to apply powder products on face.Sigma F30 is really very versatile for me , The size of the brush head is big and perfect for my big face ,as it does a wonderful job with loose and pressed powders and, for me it works amazing with bronzer. I use it for blending and buffing as well.
F 30 makes the application very fast and easy due to the size  and the density of the bristles being just right. 

I have washed it many times, it did bleed when i washed it for the first time and shedding was minimal , But now shedding has stopped as well bleeding
Recently Sigma Makeup changed their brushes  numbering system. Now their brushes now have unique numbers and the letter F, E and L before the number, indicating face, eyes and lips. 

You can buy it individually or as part of their different brush kits like Face Kit ,Face and Eyes Kit, or like in Complete Kit without Brush Roll - Black
  Individual Brush costs :
$16.00 and it is definitely worth it!

and  Yes! Sigma Beauty ships worldwide and offer a variety of USPS shipping options to meet your needs.

I adore this brush! It's amazing.  Its a must have in anyone's collection for many reasons , let me name few 1- affordable , 2-Great quality , 3-ships worldwide , 4- huge collection of brushes to choose from. and many more


 Recently Sigma Makeup changed their makeup brushes numbering system,Previously they used MAC inspired numbers on their brushes . But Now  their brushes have unique numbers and the letter F, E and L before the number, indicating face, eyes and lips.

Final Say : If your looking for MORE detailed instructions on how to use your brush set, Sigma has their own You tube channel, which shows videos of different makeup tutorials, so you'll never be lost or confused and check out their Face book page , where they host giveaways as well as different contests .which shows videos of different makeup tutorials, so you'll never be lost or confused
