My first Ever Valentine's Day Mani

I promise this is my last valentine-ish post, i have gone crazy with valentine post this year. 

I did this mani few days earlier when i was doing my post on  Glossicious picks for the best pink nail polish for Valentine's Day.

I used my favorite

• Eyeko Chi Chi Polish  which is full of Pink glitters suspended in baby pink polish make for the ultimate girlie nail shade. 
• I used my Clarity nail color in shade 341 as base , Clarity 341 is copper brownish golden shade with fine golden shimmer in it & man! its looked so good. I tried pink nail polished as base in past for eyeko chichi but this turned out so much alive , glittery and shiny. I simply loved it.

its been 3-4 days since i am wearing it so you can see little chipping. This is two coats of eyeko chichi over Clarity 341.

Over all i'm pretty happy with this mani , i am loving the pink glitter overload on my nails :D

Review- Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss

If you are anything like me and having a bad non makeup day , or a gloomy day , or a valentines day with out your hubby around then there is nothing better than a beautiful pigmented glitzy gloss to perk up the mood.

Check out the glorious shades

What is it :


Milani Cosmetics claims :New soft and brilliant Glitzy formula filled with super shiny polymers and the next

generation of pearls to create the illusion of 3D depth for fuller, sexier, looking lips.

Available in spectacular 7 shades.

• Movie Star- dreamy sky blue
• Fashion Diva - vibrant pop of fuchsia
• Starshine - baby princess pink
• Stylish - golden, sun kissed orange
• Designer Label - peachy nude
• In Vogue- bright cherry red
• Leading Lady brownish, neutral red

I own five out seven and the colors that i own of Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss are so bold and there is nothing like them in my collection like them. I was so WOWed by them when i first saw them in my hands.
I own

• Movie Star- : Movie Star is a pale blue with pink and lavender glitter.
• Fashion Diva :Fashion Diva is a fuchsia (but like BAM ! super bright  one) pink/purple with purple and pink glitter.
• Stylish-: Stylish is an orange color with gold and copper glitter
• Leading Lady-: Leading Lady which is a berry color with pink and gold glitter
• Designer Label-: Designer Label is a nude peach with gold and pink glitter.

Okay to be honest i cant stand fake chemically scents ( I am looking at you Luscious ultra shine lipglosses ) Milani lipglosses smell sweet almost cake kinds sweet, and i am happy ti report that i love the smell here ,I love the shine, I love the sparkles, and i even love the staying power.I cant even describe you that how gorgeous these looks on lips like you have million little stars sitting on your lips.
The texture is smooth and non sticky. They apply smoothly and pigmented but they payoff is on the sheer side, which in my opinion is good as who would want blue , orange , bright puple glittery lips, so the result is subtle , glitzy and gorgeous lips.The glitter is not griddy so they keep lips looking smooth.
 One more things i loved is the applicator,its a small brush, which I personally prefer than the wands.
Do you know how pain in the neck is to remove a glitter lipgloss , i mean when you wipe off the gloss , you end up with glitter all over the mouth area ?  But its not the case here, removal is easy.
Over all i a excited to have Milani 3D Glitzy Glamour Gloss in my collection . Infact super excited. And if you looking for something out of biz these are your best choice

P:S -Milani cosmetices have some close dupes  for the MAC Dazzleglasses , Like Milani's Summer Baby lip gloss is a dupe MAC's Nymphette lipglass

Availability :  CVS, Cherry Culture, or Milani 

Prices  : will vary, but range from $6.50 to $6.99.



Note: I am not doing any swatches here because they dont do a justice, i love my lip swatches so i will be doing that soon.

If you read my Maybelline Valentines Day Offer (Pakistan) 

and found the offer to tempting to resist but skeptical about the bracelet , like about the quality, material ,size or over look. I am here to help you decide .

 Below are the 2 out of 3 bracelet being offered in the Maybelline Valentines Day Offer (Pakistan) .

It is an absolutely purrfect perfume that I hope leaves you meowing with delight!"

Luscious Vixeny Red Lips for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is represented with colors such as pink and red because Valentine's is a dayof giving and loving, and red and pink represent love. Reds and pink for valentines day are like red and green for Christmas , or yellow or orange for basant .

Here are 5 red or red toned lipsticks I love and these will suit everyone's taste as it includes , super glossy , matt , & sheer as well.

1-Korres Guava Lipstick 58 Red Wine

The perfect burgundy wine shade .The lipstick lasts quite long and its feels very creamy.

2-Bourjois Lovely Brille Corail des Mers

A beautiful sheer red coral and is sheer enough not to look OTT.It is definitely a reddish-toned coral.It may come as orange based red on some skin tones.

3-Illamasqua Maneater Lipstick  

For Matt lipsticks lovers , its a Classic cherry red, matt finish.Its a smooth ,highly pigmented.A blue based creamy red lipstick.

4-Ellis Faas Milky Lips “Ellis Red L201

Ellis was able to reproduce the colour that Snow White's mother wished for the lips of her child: blood-red. A beautiful glossy perfect red pout.

 5- Ellis Faas Creamy Lips “Ellis Red” L101

This is a perfect true red blood. The color is so beautiful and pigmented.It has a lightweight gel-like liquid-to-cream consistency which glides easily on lips. Creamy Lips is a liquid lipstick in a sleek pen with a sponge applicator.  

 Swatches above are as in below mentioned order

• 1-Korres Guava Lipstick 58 Red Wine
• 2-Bourjois Lovely Brille Corail des Mers 
• 3-Illamasqua Maneater Lipstick 
• 4-Ellis Faas Milky Lips “Ellis Red L201
• 5- Ellis Faas Creamy Lips “Ellis Red” L101

Tips:

1. Prevent the red lipstick from "bleeding" by applying a touch of concealer around the border of your lips.
2. Don't play up your eyes. "Pair red lipstick with the lightest possible eye makeup," says lipstick designer Poppy King. A little mascara and beige shadow will do.
3. Classic red is universally flattering. Pink- and orange-reds look great with olive skin tones, while blue-reds look best on fair-skinned girls.

 Whats your favourite red lipstick? Do you  drss up in red/pinks on valentines day?
