New Kid In Town ~ Aplava.com

I was going through few online websites, looking for some beauty products that I wanted to try out since a long time but none of them were on discount and I was not willing to pay the full price. While shopping for Beauty and Skincare products online, we have very limited options and a new Online Beauty Products Shopping Destination is always welcome. Aplava is the website I am talking about.

Empties 2015 and Their Quick Reviews

Hello guys,

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. Last year flew by like a blink of an eye and I can't believe it's already 2016. One more thing I couldn't believe is I did not do a single EMPTIES POST last year. Each month I kept procrastinating and collecting the empty bottles.

Anyways, I thought of starting 2016 with an Empties Post so that I can get rid of all the unwanted stuff ~ unwanted feelings, memories; unwanted people, unwanted thoughts, everything that's of  no use, just like these empty bottles.

I did try to collect most of the bottles but few of them are missing and few I don't remember. Keep reading to know what worked for me, what did not.

NOTD ~ Color Splash

I was in a very happy mood while doing this colorful Nail Art, so I chose all bright colors. But to take pictures of your nail art with a DSLR, if you are a lefty, is a pain, especially if you don't own a tripod like me. So, finally I gave up and took pictures with my iPhone instead.

L'Oreal Moist Matte lipstick in Flaming Kiss - Review

This lipstick is one of my most favourite. Read on to know why.

L'Oreal Moist Matte lipstick in Flaming Kiss
A lipstick that delivers intense moisture while providing a velvet matte finish. Colour Riche Moisture Matte's unique formula contains jojoba oil for unrivaled moisture and comfort along with matte gel technology to create an intense matte look.

I am also wearing this lipstick HERE and HERE.

My Experience

L'Oreal Moist Matte lipstick comes in a rose gold packaging, which I find very classy, with a color button. Flaming Kiss is an orange-red color, which goes opaque in just one swipe. It gives a matte finish and does not make my lips feel dry or uncomfortable. I love how it brightens up my whole face and compliments my skin tone.

The lipstick does not feel heavy on my lips even after several coats, lasts for quite long and fades evenly leaving behind a soft tint. It does not require touch ups even after eating or drinking. I love how it keeps my lips moisturised and I do not feel the urge to lick my lips again and again.

The only thing I dislike about this lipstick is that it may break or melt easily so I have to be extra careful while applying and storing it. The testers in the counter were in a horrible condition, already. Apart from that I am highly impressed with this range and may pickup one more shade.

Likes

• Its very pigmented.
• Does not dry out my lips.
• Fades evenly.
• Lasts even after eating and drinking.
• Does not settle into lip lines.

Dislikes

• Have to be extra careful while applying/storing.
• Not so travel friendly.
• Expensive.

My Rating ♥♥♥♥♥

4.5/5

L'Oreal Moist Matte lipstick in Flaming Kiss is a part of the Lumiere Cannes Film Festival 2014 collection and costs ₹899. It can be purchased at any L'Oreal counter or online.
