NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania Review ,Swatch

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Transylvania
After seeing endless photos on my intsa and facebook feed, I could'nt resisted and decided to find out what's that hype is all about after all. I was totally drawn towards two not-so-easy to find shades NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania and Monte Carlo. Today i will be talking about NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania. 
Nyx says : Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania is a deep plum-burgandy

Okay i will be honest , This particular shade is totally out of my comfort zone and i know i would hardly ever wear it . But i am a beauty blogger and a lipstick hoarder so i paid more than retail for this just because i got sucked in the hype. I wore it with slightly smoky eyes and posted a selfie on my instagram,Surprisingly everyone loved it. So i am going to keep it.
The texture is very silky and soft but application is another story. If you don't exfoliate prior than it may look very patchy. I prefer  using a dark lipliner underneath and if you have dry lips , i recommend using a lipblam as well.I have applied two layers in the above photo . When you are layering it make sure that the previous one is dry completely. The finish is matte, you can always apply a gloss over it but application of a gloss on top will reduce the transfer-resistance . It comes off with any good makeup remover.

PROS:
If you are into matte lipstick.
If you are into trends and like deep shades
Great color
Feels Very comfortable on lips
Its non sticky

CONS
Drying
Hard to apply evenly when layering
Sinks a little bit into lines



Although from my review it may seem, i wasnt very fond of the product but honestly i am digging the matte look these days and have already ordered some everyday shade as well as Copenhagen .But if you want something similar available locaaly then go for DMGM photofix lipcolors (review here)

I got mine from a facebook seller for PKR.1000 , you can get NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream from beautyjoint.com for approx $6 and their shipping is worldwide .

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick Shade 10 - Review & Swatches

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick: Shade 10


I am FINALLY reviewing my HG red lipstick which i have been raving,talking and mentioning for quite a while now. Its Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in shade 10.

Kate Moss Lasting Finish LipsticksRimmel’s cult classic Lasting Finish Lipstick has been redefined with Kate’s glamorous style. A collection of 15 striking shades is now infused with Black Diamond. This unique formula boasts light-reflecting power – adding depth to every pout so that you ooze the same confidence and impact on entry as Kate.
This is a blue-based ruby red which I believe looks stunning on my medium tan skin tone.

My obsession with Red lipstick started when I first bought Rimmel London Kate Moss lasting lipstick in #10 last year and it instantly became my go to lipstick , I literally wore it like every day & got so many complement during my trip to India.I love the formula and staying power of this, It’s not matte nor glossy ,I would say semi matte with slight sheen.

I usually pair Rimmel London lasting finish 1000 kisses lip liner in red dynamite and some mascara and remember Red lipstick is a statement piece, almost an accessory. As such a bold statement, it is important to keep the rest of your makeup toned down. It costs less than 1000 and I have already bought a backup. One red I approve for desi skin tones.

I was so in love with this shade that I bought a bunch of other shsades which I will be reviewing soon on my blog. 

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipsticks

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipsticks costs approx PKR 850 and can be purchased from stores all across the nation. You can also get Rimmel london products online from Just4girls.pk and Beautyarena,pk

Your skin care treatments should be provided by a properly trained professional.

They have been providing services for the last fifteen years by foreign qualified surgeons and doctors like Dr. Gouhar Alam is one of the renowned dermatologists from Karachi, Pakistan. He is counted amongst top dermatologists in Pakistan
Dr. Najjia Ashraf, a consultant and advisor in cosmetic dermatology with certification in histopathology. Dr Najjia Ashraf is well reputed laser therapist and cosmetologist highly recognized for her professional consultancy and expertise in hand surgeries.
Their facility of dermatologists is elite in both standardized surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

For example these days they are offering 20% on full body hair removal and acne resurfacing for the bridal season.



It is always a good idea to schedule an appointment especially if you are new to the treatments. This gives you and your doctor  a chance to discuss your  concerns and queries at first visit, and long term goals for the future. This will give your therapist the information she/he needs to create an individualized treatment plan, both for a series of professional treatments.
