Review - Huts and Looms, Sustainable and Pure Handwoven Saree

 I love wearing Indian ethnic wear on special occasions or festivals. A Saree is one of my favourite ethnic attire to wear during Puja or family get-togethers. Again in sarees, I have a soft corner for handloom sarees. The beauty and feel of these handwoven slow crafted  sarees are truly mesmerizing. It was Durga Puja time and Diwali is also approaching in few days, hence I thought to buy a beautiful handloom saree to celebrate all these festivals with extra joy.  Huts and Looms Tissue Silk Saree  In case you are wondering what a handloom saree is, then let me tell you in brief. Handlooms are basically handwoven fabrics made on a weaving machine called a loom. Hence, the name comes from HandLoom. It is a slow-crafted process, as it needs the utmost patience, creativity, and physical strength to create a masterpiece. Handloom sarees are generally priced because of this reason. I feel every woman looks graceful, powerful and amazing in a saree. Handloom sarees are representing our cultur

Colourpop Lipstix 'Hollywood BLVD' - Review, Swatches...


Hello girls....  here is the last colourpop lipstix of my collection...  I have so many reds, pinks and oranges and this time I thought to try something really different from the regular shades...  Hence bought the shade Hollywood Blvd...  I will describe the shade, texture and other features below...  let's read..

Read my all colourpop lipstix reviews HERE 


Price - Rs 630/- to 800/- ( it varies from seller to seller in India)

Available at colourpop website and in India at some instagram sellers.



Packaging- The lipstix comes in a pen style lipstick form which is very convenient to apply...  The cap locks tightly, hence no issue of breakage during travelling...  Again the lipstix comes inside a white cardboard box which has all necessary information.  The shade name is also mentioned at the bottom of the lipstix bullet. Overall a good and sturdy packaging...



Shade  And  Texture - The shade Hollywood Blvd is  a deep brown shade with orange undertone...  The shade is on more warmer side which makes it more appealing.  Hollywood Blvd is looking so different on lips than the regular shades...  I don't wear such shades but just bought it to see how it will look on me.  You just need to do a simple eyeliner makeup and this lipstick is enough to create a nice vampy look.


Like the other colourpop lipsticks, Hollywood Blvd also has really creamy and buttery texture and it gives a good matte finish effect.  I do prep my dry lips before applying any matte lipstick.  And then I love how beautifully it glides on lips without tugging or pulling.  The shade also doesn't settle in fine lines.  The lipstick do bleed a little from corners  while applying if you don't applying carefully.  Hence I first line my lips with the same lipstix and fill the lips with some extra colour.. In this way it doesn't bleed..


Pigmentation  and Staying Ability - The shade Hollywood Blvd  has awesome pigmentation...  Only one swipe and done...  It bring a nice perfect coverage in just one swipe trust me...  The shade is  not fully transfer-proof but transfers very very little which doesn't affect the finish on the lips.  I do feel some dryness after few hours and I do wash it off after 5-6 hours but it will stay more if you want to keep.  And yes the shade doesn't rinse off easily, you do need a good makeup remover to remove it completely... 

See how it looks on my lips... 


Pros-

▶Lovely warm deep brown shade
▶ Gives a nice smooth matte finish effect
▶ Has creamy buttery texture
▶ Lasts for long time
▶ Nice packaging
▶ Looks pretty on lips
▶ Has amazing pigmentation, one swipe is enough
▶ Doesn't tag or pull lips
▶ Doesn't settle in fine lines
▶ A different shade from regular pink, red and orange shades

Cons..  -

▶Makes my lips feel dry after few hours
▶ Not available easily
▶ In India these cost more at insta sellers.



Rating- 4/5

My Recommendation - The colourpop lipstix Hollywood Blvd is a different shade from the regular shades...  The quality and pigmentation is awesome...  If you want to try something different from the red,  pink shades,  then do try out this one,  you will love the shade...

That's all for today.. Do share your feedback below...

Stay Beautiful ❤❤
