Review - Christine Professional Paint Stick [CN-CONTOURING]

Ladies, how many of you actually do contouring and highlighting with your makeup? And how many of you actually do know how to do that? While we normally ignore the contouring and highlighting with our daily routine of makeup, this actually makes a lot of difference on your face. For proper contour and highlight, though, you need proper tools as well as proper products.

There are many contouring powders, creams and sticks available in market which serve good purpose. I have tried one of them recently and want to share my review with you. It's Christine Makeup stick in CN-Contouring. Christine provides a variety of shades and you can choose according to your current skin shade and level of depth required in the contouring. I used CN-Oriental shade from Christine previously for the contour but wanted some more depth so tried this one which is specifically made for the contouring purpose. The shade name CN-Contouring says it all.

Review–Loreal Paris Glam Shine Gloss Brilliance Lip GLoss in 106–Forever Young

I am one of the people who are really not much into lip glosses, I personally prefer lipsticks and lip liners which are matte finished. But this offer from Al jannat Mall Commercial Market Rawalpindi persuaded me to purchase Loreal lip glosses and try them out. The offer said you can buy 3 lip glosses in the price of 1. It was my first experience with Loreal lip glosses, though I had heard a lot of praise for them but because of my low interest in lip glosses I never thought to try them out.

Not only did I buy Loreal lip glosses as a result of this wonderful offer, but I actually liked them so much that I have decided to write a review on one of them.

So, today I am going to review Loreal Paris Glam Shine Gloss Brilliance Lip Gloss in 106 – Forever Young; okay girls so lets get started …

The Packaging:

The lip gloss is packaged in a beautiful clear jar with a silver cap. The color of the lip gloss shows through the transparent jar and the brush of the lip gloss is big enough to color your lips in one swipe.

 

 

The Pricing:

Since I got this one as a result of a promotional offer, I got three lip glosses for 1200 PKR. The actual price of the lip gloss ranges from 1200 – 1500 PKR though.

The Results:

The results are pretty good, and I must say I am really impressed by this lip gloss range. They claim that the lip gloss stays on for 6 hours and believe me it actually does. Even at the end of the day I have some bits of traces of its glitter on my lips and its staying power is super. it is somewhat a transparent gloss and you can use it above any of your lipsticks too. it’s a soft pink shimmery color which brings vibrance to your face all of a sudden and freshens up your whole look. In the pictures I have shared below I have used it on my nude lips, please excuse the skin on my lip corners as I suffered from a lip allergy sometime back and my skin got irritated due to that.

 

In the following picture I am using it over a lipstick,

The Good Things:

• Lasting power is super
• Looks good both on nude lips and over a lipstick
• the finish is ultra glossy

The Bad Things:

• A bit pricey as compared to the rest of the lip glosses
• sometimes tends to be sticky when u apply too much of it

Have you used this lip gloss, please share your comments of how did you find it.

Lemon is one of the most well known and effective ways of bleaching your skin. You can use the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon and apply this on your lips. The best thing about lemon juice is that it can be kept on overnight. Almond oil is another such product. It works very well overnight and helps lighten the dark colored skin on your lips. You can mix a few drops of lemon juice to the almond oil and then apply on your lips. Glycerin can also be applied on dark lips, in order to lighten dark lip color. You can mix a few drops of honey to the glycerin and then apply on the lips.

Radiant skin

Make a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and glycerin and apply it on the darkspots to get rid of them
- Moisturise, moisturise and then moisturise some more.
- I make it a point to use a loofah while bathing. Your outer layer of skin becomes dead after 30 days.
- I eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and some amount of nuts to make sure my skin is supplied with enough nutrients to keep it supple and glowing
- I protect my skin from the sun always, even during the winters. Mix your sunscreen with your moisturiser and apply it; alternatively buy a combined sunscreen & moisturising product
