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 repr...
A lipstick lover can understand the value of lipsticks /lip colours , right ..! It always feels like, i don't have much lip shades (but in reality ,i have so many) . That happens with every girl and i am sure you will agree with me . So let's discuss about the new addition to my lip collection... Last month i won a giveaway by fab bag and got this Manna Kadar liplocked priming gloss stain . Manna kadar is an well known international brand with highend makeup stuffs . But till now i haven't own any single product from the brand . Hence i was quite excited by receiving this priming gloss stain .. I have the shade "Sienna" with me which belongs to the nude lip colour category.
Let me first tell you what the brand is claiming about the liplock priming gloss stain ...
# An advance form of lip stains.
# Lip gloss, primer and lip stain in one product.
# Smooth application
# Pigmented and lasts all day long .
# Have vitamin A & E ,berry extracts which keeps lips hydrated and nourished
# Paraben free and non-allergic
Price - 24$
Packaging - It comes with a glass packaging ,very similar to the normal lipgloss packaging . The cap has lock closure which makes it safe to carry in bag . The packaging is colour coded which is really appreciable. The applicator is long ,sleek and the wand is like the typical gloss wands .. It is very easy to apply on lips . I like the packaging ..
Shade, Texture, Pigmentation & Staying Ability -
The shade Sienna belongs to the nude family . There are so many other shades also available in website. It is a muddy kind shade and looks very natural on lips . The shade will suit more to fair skin girls.. For indian skin tone ,it is kinda washed out . For darker skin girls it is a complete no .. It also doesn't suit my medium to fair complexion . But i can use it as a lip primer by dabing a bit of colour ..
The texture is very creamy and feels very light weight on lips . It applies really smoothly and glides like butter on lips. The colour pay off is superb .. One single swipe and you ready to go .. This is super pigmented .. That's why if you want to only prime your lips ,then just dab a bit of colour on lips and done .. The shade doesn't settle into matte finish . It gives a glossy finish which non-sticky obviously. It transfers a lot into things. It stays properly until i had any drink or meal and after that it vanishes away by leaving a nice natural stain on lips which lasts for more hours.. It smells very weird , somewhere like some chemical .. I don't like my lip colour to smell badly ..

ReplyDeleteThat shade is so gorgeous. I would love to try them.
ReplyDeleteThe shade is a really beautiful nude! 😍 But for the poor staying power, it is not worth buying for $24 😔
ReplyDeleteHeard of this brand first time..but the product that claims priming and staining at one go, is really interesting. Loved your review, though the shade is really not for Indian skin tones. Where did you win this bag?
ReplyDeleteWow this is such a beautiful and natural kind of a shade. Would love to try this.
ReplyDeleteI like the shades of product. This is a great shade that goes with many different dresses
