Vov Candy Lipcolor Palette


I had posted my haul pics for last month a couple of days back and one thing that caught a number of reader’s fancy was the Vov Lip palette. I got this from the local beauty store from where I buy all my Vov and Miss Claire makeup. I got this for around 190 bucks and the palette has six colors. Basically I got this palette just because I was so tired of waiting for the Inglot sale to start. Well, I am sure the quality is no where near those creamy Inglot lipstick refills but this one is a great palette for the budget conscious.




Along with the six lip colors the palette also contains a lip brush which is actually quite good. The bristles are soft and application is fairly easy with the brush. It also had a cap but my ever adventurous makeup lover daughter threw it somewhere. There is also a cover for the lip colors and a small mirror. I liked the packaging. It is quite thoughtful and looks good as well. The bubble tops on the cover allow you to see the color.


The first is a clear gloss with fine shimmer while the second is a light peachy lipstick. The third is a coral pink with a slight shimmer. The fourth one is a dark pink while the fifth one is a light orangish red. The last lipstick is a bright red. All the lipsticks have average pigmentation. Here I have swiped the lipsticks twice only. While the first two do not show up on my lips at all, the last three are my absolute favorites.








The texture is smooth and it glides on easily on even my dry lips. The staying power is beyond awesome. It lasts for more than eight hours and even if you have meals in between there will be a slight tint. No problems with fine lines and dryness. Here is an FOTD in which I have mixed the fourth and last shades. Palettes are so much fun..I love all that mixing and matching (I sound like a little girl)


My recommendation: If you can find it do get it. It is a good palette with some pretty shades and its great for travelling as well.

Haul Alert: Mac, Maxfactor and Vov


I went berserk shopping last month. I was just shopping so much that even my hubby gave up trying to control me. I don’t think I spent even one weekend without hauling some makeup stuff besides other things of course. I know I am a little late but here are the pics of my haul. Enjoy and hope you all get a little jealous as well…heee…heee





Maxfactor
I got some Maxfactor goodies. I had never noticed the brand before but after some rave reviews from fellow bloggers I knew I just had to get some stuff from there. It’s a good brand with some affordable and very good stuff. I got two single eyeshadows Passionate Plum and Midnight black which is just gorgeous black with sparkly blue flecks. The lipfinity is very good too. It consists of a liquid lipstick and a lip balm. Apply the liquid lipstick and let it dry and then finish off by applying the lip balm. I have never used a long staying lip product as good as this.




Vov
I am crazy about Miss Claire single eyeshadows and Vov too has the same singles as well. I got a gorgeous forest green and teal blue shade. I also got this amazing lip color palette which cost me just about 190 bucks. It contains some gorgeous coral and red shades. As you can see I have been using it a lot last month.





Faces and some random stuff

I got the Faces Satin matte lipstick in mulberry. It’s a beautiful brown pink shade that is so creamy and amazing. I also got these pretty earrings for some 200 bucks from Sia and  the sunscreen from Vlcc which incidently has impressed me a lot. I haven’t taken any pics but I also got a lot of stuff from Lush which includes my favorite Sylvia Stout shampoo and some amazing soaps.




Mac
Finally my favorites. My Mac Creemsheen lippi Partyline and Hepcat eyeshadow…Isn’t that purple just gorgeous..I just can’t wait to get started.







Hope you liked my little haul. Tell me what you liked and would like me to review first. Ciao
