Product Review : Faces Cosmetics Ultime Pro Shine On Eyeliner in Emerald Dazzel

Hi Friends,

Do you like colored eyeliners?? I like them but am not very confident to wear them. I recently got my hands on a green liner (yeah! yeah !! I hope u remember my crazy orange liner look). This green colored liner is easier to pull off and looks pretty as well.

Introducing Faces Cosmetics Ultime Pro Shine On Eyeliner in Emerald Dazzel.

What Faces Canada says about it:

Extraordinary color to make you shine! Gives a long lasting and intense shiny finish. Comes with a felt tip for precise application. Exquisitely lush and quick drying. Totally water and smudge proof.

Packaging: 

Shiny Emerald colored conical tube. It has long handle  for easy grip. Small felt tip applicator attached to the handle. 

Felt Tip applicator is Short, Sharp tipped and Stiff. It applies a very precise line. 

Product:

This liner has perfect consistency. Its thin but not runny. Has good pigmentation. The color is Emerald green, has metallic finish. It has shimmer in it but by no means chunky and glittery.

It is also available in a midnight blue shade : Moonlit. Read more HERE

Price: INR 699 for 0.08 fl. oz.

My Experience Faces Cosmetics Ultime Pro Shine On Eyeliner in Emerald Dazzel:

I love the color of the eyeliner. Its metallic green but the shade looks perfect for all skin tones. It doesn't screams out that I am wearing a colored liner. I looks very neutral when worn with a black kohl and is very forgiving shade. Although the shade is quite pigmented but I need two coats to get the solid color.

The staying power of this eyeliner is amazing. It wears for all day long. I have worn it for 8-10 hrs atleast on 4-5 different occasions. It stays there without moving or smudging or peeling.I even wore it in drizzling rain and the color didn't move at all. It is quite water resistant.  

While removing, it does not create much problem. I just use my usual face wash to wash my face and this liner easily come out without leaving any stains. 

I prefer using brush as an applicator but the felt tip pen is very easy to work with. The long handle gives a good grip and complete control on the applicator. 

Pros:

• Felt Tip Applicator,
• Long Handle,
• Color will look good on all skin tones,
• Consistency
• Staying power - 8-10 hr
• No Flaking,
• No Smudging,
• Does not cause any stinging.

Cons:

• Pigmentation is slightly less than expectation. It need two coats to get full coverage.

  

Last Words:

It is a beautiful color, can be easily worn without it screaming out loud. Will suit most of the skin tones.

Stay Beautiful :)

Product Review - Faces Ultime Pro Shocking Volume Mascara

Hi Friends,

Mascara has been my favorite piece of makeup since ever. It’s one makeup product I cannot live without.  I have very thin lashes so I prefer using mascara which can give me loads of volume and can open up my eyes. 

I don’t like to experiment with mascaras as I like sticking to my favorites.

I recently tried Faces Ultime Pro Shocking Volume Mascara. The words – “Shocking Volume” always attract me, I fantasize about fluttering fuller lashes… Please read ahead to know whether I actually get that effect or not…

What Faces Cosmetics says about the product:

Outrageous volume for an incredible you! Curved spiral wand ensures super dramatic volume. Infused fibers give a deep black finish. Nourishing ingredients volumize and strengthen lashes. Absolutely water resistant, lasts all day.

Packaging:

Black shiny, sleek and round tube packaging. It has a decent long handle for better control. The mascara brush is unique feature; it is not straight as usual mascara wand, rather this product wand is curved. The curved wand is good for poker straight lashes. It gives a soft lifting effect to the lashes.

How to use the curved wand?

Generally people think that cupping the lashes in the curve of the wand is the correct method of using this type of wand. But the right way is to use the curve facing downwards. Placing the wand, with curve facing downwards, on the bottom of the lashes and pull it up, towards the end of the lashes. The wand will create soft curve in the lashes.

Product:

The formula is deep intense black colored and when I first used was liquid-y. It claims to be Water – Resistant.   It coats the lashes well and dries up pretty quick on the lashes. After one month product dried up a little making it thicker and now gives a little better volume than before

Price: INR 799 for 7.5 ml

My experience Faces Ultime Pro Shocking Volume Mascara:

Product:

Freshly opened product clumps a little and clubs my lashes making them look a little spikey. BUT, after a period of one month the product has dried up a little and the formula now is a little thicker. Now it gives a better look, it imparts better volume than before now. I would say that it is more of a lengthening mascara than a volumizing one.

It clumps slightly. And makes my lashes look slightly spikey. I prefer using a lash separator comb later to separate my lashes.

I wore this mascara for about a month. What I loved about the product was the way it held the curls all day long. It did not smudge or flake all day long. I even happened to wear it while it was drizzling (raining) and the mascara survived the drizzle too. It has amazing water resistant properties.

While removing the mascara I did not face any problem at all. It came off easily with a normal face wash. I didn’t have to use an eye makeup remover. None of my lashes break during the process. My major concern with water proof mascara is that when I remove the product, the process breaks my lashes. But fortunately, I didn’t have to face this problem with this mascara.

  

Wand:

The concept of curved wand is great. The wand works pretty well in creating a lifting effect. But, it’s difficult to get to the inner lashes. Although the wand has a tapered end but it needs lot of practice get to the inner lashes without over applying the product on the center lashes.  And if you have smaller lower lashes like mine, then probably you’ll need a very steady hand to apply the mascara on lower lashes. But it does a pretty decent job in elongating the lashes.   

Left : No mascara; Center & Right : Two coats of Mascara

Pros:

• Curved wand gives soft curl without using eye lash curler.
• Deep and intense black color.
• Formula gets better with time.
• Elongates lashes pretty well.
• Long handle for easy use.
• Stays all day.
• No smudging, No flaking.
• Survives a rain drizzle.
• No lashes fallout while removing the mascara.
• Mascara comes out easily with plain water and a face wash.

Cons:

• Formula is more like of and elongating mascara rather that “Shocking Volume”.
• The inside of tube needs a little separator which can squeeze out the excess product from the brush.

Last words:

The formula is like a wine, gets better with time. Within one or two weeks after the package is opened the formula is perfect to use. It makes a great everyday use mascara. Don’t expect “Shocking Volume” but a fuller, lifted and elongated lash look is what you get.

Stay Beautiful :)

Product Review - Faces Ultimate Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick - Peach Blush

Hi Girls,

If you know the pain of applying a longwear lipstick on dry lips then this post is for YOU.

I have super dry lips. My lips even chap in summers. Applying a longewear lipstick is a big no no for me. As they have extremely drying texture.

I recently tried these  Faces Ultimate Pro Longwear Matte Lipsticks in Peach Blush. At First I thought its cant be a longwear lipstick . .. why ? Read on..

What Faces says about  Faces Ultimate Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick :

"Matte finish for the uber chic! A vivid color burst that lasts more than 8 hours. Enriched with Vitamin E and anti-aging oxidants. Creamy texture gives smooth, water proof high coverage. Available in a range of swanky shades."

Packaging:

Its classic, black sleek twist up tube .. very high end looking. Cap fits in perfectly, No chance of it slipping and smudging here and there in the purse.

Product: 

Texture :Very light slightly creamier texture.

Finish : It is completely matte in finish.

Fragrance: It has Vanilla fragrance but no taste.

Coverage : Medium opaque pigmentation as for this particular shade. It takes about -3 swipes to bring out the color.

Lasting power : 4-5 hrs

Color : Peach Blush is a peach color with brown undertones in the packing but it comes out as a proper as a true light to medium toned peach color on my lips.

These are available in 10 shades :

Spice, Fashion, Cinnamon, Fig, Lust on, Very berry, Read my lips, Flirty Pink, Peach Blush and Temptation. The range Has few neutral shades , Some light some dark, a red , a fuchsia pink  and one deep brown.

Price:  INR 599

My Experience with the product: 

This Lipstick is surprisingly creamier than most longwear lipsticks I have tried.  It doesnt dries out my lips but I would still suggest to scrub and moisturize lips before using it. After application follow it with a lip balm to avoid any dryness. 

The product doesnt moves a bit, settles into the lines, but yes it might slightly emphasize on them.

Coverage wise this product is Good, In 2 swipes with covers my lips. And the coverage is buildable.

Finish is matte and shimmer free makes this product perfect for office wear as well as a perfect day wear.

Lasting power is decent, it lasted for 4-5 hrs with heavy snacking and coffee sipping. After the snacking I had  to do a little touch up as chocolate from a pastry smeared on my lips.

Peach Blush color for me is a true warm toned peach color. A warm toned peach looks very pretty on Indian skin tones.  I think it will suit fair to medium skin tones better. This shade will be lighter for duskier girls. As for me I am pretty impressed with the color and the lipstick itself.

Pros:

• Creamier than its other longwear counterparts,
• Stays in place for 4-5 hrs
• Doesn't dries up lips,
• Does not exaggerate dry patches,
• Perfect for office wear and day wear,
• Decent color range.

Cons:

• Vanilla Fragrance,
• Staying power could have been better,

Last word :
Faces Ultimate Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick has exceeded my expectations. I am definitely going to try more colors from this range. As for the price I find this lipstick even better than the high end brands. This particular shade has become my most reached out color for Summers and esp Day wear. It will even look excellent when paired with dark eye makeup.

I am loving the lipstick over my High End Brands and it looks like my new MLBB..
