Diamonds are a women’s best friend is something we all have heard, but I personally do not agree with this as I would like to state that a woman’s best friend is and always has been cosmetic products. And out of them Lipstick or Lipgloss is the reigning product which most of the women love using. If it is a stressful or a hectic day and there is no time to get ready then just dab on some lipstick and one is ready to go out feeling beautiful and confident. As an ardent user of cosmetics, I have had the opportunity to use a lot of products which has made me capable of grading them and choosing the better one out of the numerous products in the market. One such product would be Lakme absolute gloss stylist in the shade of burgundy burn which I would be reviewing today.

Basic Info About Lakme Burgundy Burn Absolute Gloss

Shade: Burgundy Burn

According to Lakme: Now get super luscious looking lips with this one of a kind gloss, that gives you high shine as well as high coverage for a lacquered finish. Highly recommended by Lakmé experts, it’s time to go Gloss Stylist for super glossy lips and rule the world with a picture perfect pout!

How I prefer to apply it

Start by applying from the center of the lower lip and spread to the entire lower lip. Then focus on the upper lip. Start by making a V in the middle of your cupids bow and spread to the entire lip. One can go for a second coat if there is a desire for a brighter shade.

My Experience with Lakme Burgundy Burn Absolute Gloss

This product was given to me by my equally make up obsessed cousin who blindly trusted this product and wanted me to try it. Even though I do not prefer using lip glosses and normally go for a matte lipstick, I really like this product. The color even though really bright doesn’t make me look crazy or it doesn’t make my makeup look too loud even though I have a wheatish complexion. It has that adorable bright bubble gum shade which makes me or anybody using it look adorable. The consistency of this product is quite good and is not too liquid which does not make it drip like some other lipglosses I have tried did. I am not a huge fan of lipglosses as I do not really like glossy effect on my lips. I feel it does not suit me so I normally don’t go for it when I am getting ready for a party or have to go out. Even though I vouch for Lakme absolute gloss stylist in the shade of burgundy burn, I myself don’t use it on a regular basis for the above reasons. The only time I use it is when I am dressing up for an occasion and I know that pink would be the best shade to suit my outfit. I am normally in a fix when I want to use Lakme absolute gloss stylist but also don’t want to go for a gloss effect. These are the times when a little bit of baby powder comes in handy. I dab some of it on my lips and make it matte as I am obsessed with the bright and cheerful color it has. I am not a brand obsessed user of cosmetics so I don’t normally follow just one brand when I am buying products but when it comes to Lakme I am almost never disappointed and somehow end up buying lip shades or lip glosses from Lakme every time. The consistency of this product is quite good and sticky enough. It stays for a long time and is suitable for wearing to office or college as its long lasting. The main reason as to why I love the shade so much and have been raving about it from the beginning of the article is because even though it is a bright shade, it doesn’t make your makeup look heavy like so many other pink shades of different companies make you look. It is perfect to wear it to casual outings or to a party or to a wedding. My friend normally wears it to college almost every day and it looks amazing on her. So finally I would conclude this article by saying that Lakme absolute gloss stylist is a must try for all those people who love doing makeup and especially for those who religiously go for a gloss effect on their lips.

Hello to all you beautiful people,

Today I am going to review the very famous YVES Saint Laurent Blush variation-cinnamon rose which is also shade 4. I really love this product as its quality and palette is no doubt the best in the market and is desired by many. Even though I don’t normally go for blushers on a day to day basis, but for parties or get together it is a must. These are the times when I get to use my Yves Saint Laurent blush variation. It has two different textures, Matte and iridescent on the pallet which brings out the cheekbones and highlights the sharp structures of the face. It is known for its natural look and merges with any skin tone without giving it a heavy look or making the face look cakey.

Basic Info about Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation Cinnamon Rose

Price: ranges from 3500 to 5000.

Shade: Cinnamon Rose (#4)

Availability: Available in India

Product description: Yves Saint Laurent BLUSH VARIATION combines two textures, matte and iridescent, that blend together to highlight the cheekbones with a veil of color. The exclusive formula, which contains self-adapting pigments, catches all the intensity of light and transforms it into a vibrant source of color.

How I prefer to apply it

I apply this blusher on my entire cheekbone. I normally cover up the upper part of the cheek with making the middle part darker and the edges lighter. I even use this as an eyeshadow because of its natural pallet and because of it amazing ability to blend in well with makeup without making it look too loud or cakey.

My experience with Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation Cinnamon Rose

This is my most loved and favorite product ever. The quality of this blusher is undoubtedly the best in the market and is also my personal favorite. It has two different textures one being matte and one being iridescent which when applied gives a contoured effect and makes the makeup look flawless. I use this blusher only when I am getting ready for a party or an outing and it’s not a part of my everyday makeup routine. The main reason as to why I personally adore this product is because it has the power to suit all sorts of makeup styles. I personally feel there are very less blushers in the market that have the ability to be worn on almost all occasions and Yves Saint Laurent is one of them. It gives a natural effect to the face and makes the person applying it look fresh and glowing. If applied darker it gives a party look. I normally apply only on my cheekbone and a little bit on the tips of my nose to make my face look natural. I use it even as an eye shadow pallet and it compliments my makeup completely. Its texture is soft and smooth and spread well on the skin. It suits all skin types. As I have oily skin I am little wary about which products to use as I had severe acne until recently and it has left unwanted marks on my cheeks, thus it has made me apply blushers really less as it makes me worry about acne again. In the case of Yves Saint Laurent, I am assured of not getting any acne as it suits my oily skin tone really well.

The only drawback in this product is that it is really expensive. For a normal college going student like me, I have to think twice before buying this product only because of its price. I am sure there must be good quality and amazing blushes in the market at a much cheaper cost but I would always cherish this product as it is the best compared to all. Its smooth satin texture doesn’t make my makeup feel heavy and even stays for a really long duration.

Would I recommend this?

Definitely!

Value for money

It is quite pricey but totally worth every penny spent on it.
