Hello
ladies,
By
now, you’d definitely be aware about my lipstick love *WINK*
I
can never get enough of lipsticks, even if my vanity screams- Lipstick
Overload! Summer is all about colourful makeup. With sweat and humid weather
melting away the entire makeup base, my minimalistic quick makeup look would
incorporate compact powder and a beautiful lipstick shade.
I’ve
reviewed a lot of 7 Heaven lipsticks
and every time I raid the local cosmetics store, 7 Heaven is out with another product from their range. Honestly,
with their price range, I think they are catering quite amazing products and their
longevity is commendable as well. This review was long due but I wanted to test
it thoroughly for reviewing. I had initially seen this on Flipkart at an
expensive rate of INR 475. When I visited the cosmetic store, I had intentions
of purchasing the new Elle 18 Matte
lipsticks for reviewing and they were like it’s not out in the market, is
it? And I was like yes, go tell your
suppliers to send them quickly *LOL* The shopkeeper anyways showed me these
lipsticks. When I swatches the testers, I saw a beautiful nude shade as well
which is similar to Maybelline’s
Mysterious Mocha from their Color Show range. Reviewed here- http://lyfabubble.blogspot.in/2016/01/maybellinecolorshow-creamy-matte.html
The
lipstick comes in a pretty cool packaging with all black gothic vibe to it and
colourful cap which varies as per the lipstick shade. This is quite convenient
if you’ve stored them in a compact box and don’t have the time of taking out
each and choosing. All lipstick shades has names which is nice and the shade
that I picked up is ‘Lady Danger’. The name obviously is copied from the MAC lipsticks which cut shorts the
creativity of naming the lipstick shades. Lady Danger is a coral pink which
appears like a pink, standing on the verge of maturing and transforming into a
red colour. Does that statement hints out at me watching Pokemon lately? *LOL* In
sun, it appears like an orangish peachy pink as well. Perhaps I am bad at
explaining colour shades. In pictures it appears pink. The colour is amazing
but my skills aren’t with colour spectrum.
:-p
To
test the longevity, I wore this lipstick to college for an exam and I applied
it at 8:30 am. I had a three hour exam from 10 am. After my exam, the lipstick
was still intact. And it was there after I had my lunch, but it slightly faded
and that too evenly. The lipstick isn’t butter smooth while application but not
too matte as well. The lipstick initially doesn’t appear complete matte, but
after a while it sets so beautifully without a powdery finish that is usually
common in a matte lipstick. It has no stickiness either and the formula is
light. It survived for 5 hours with a heavy lunch and did not completely vanish
off but I ended up re-applying because of colour fading. I like the fact that
even on losing the colour intensity, the lipstick fades leaving of beautiful
stain and that too without appearing uneven. One drawback being, it slightly
settles onto the crease so exfoliating of the lips before application would
tackle that problem well.
