Foundation Stick by Luscious Cosmetics ~ Review + Swatches

Hello beautiful people!
Luscious Cosmetics came up with their Foundation Stick lately, foundation sticks are pretty popular in Pakistan..topping the list: Kryolan's TV Paint Stick

Lets see how the Luscious one is ;)


What They Say?

A revolutionary Brightening Cream Foundation infused with Licorice extract for a visibly fairer complexion, this ultra-smooth and lightweight formula provides a soft matte finish.

Designed for easy application and adjustable coverage, the creamy formula effortlessly glides across your skin for a long lasting, radiant result. Makes your skin feel pampered and velvety while covering dark areas and blemishes for a perfectly skin tone.
Dermatologist Tested

Suitable for all skin types, except extremely oily skin 


How does ShyCheeeks feel about it?

Hmm it seems that whatever written above is actually true!
But about the brightening part..im not so sure, because i accidently chose the wrong shade for my skin..Oopsie :(

The packaging is pretty good, it comes in a sleek silver tube..you twist it to reveal the product, apply it directly on your skin by dabbing or swiping it on the face..and blend with fingers or sponge..i didn't use a brush with it


The one i have is 1.5 Natural Beige..i thought it would be perfect because its for Light Beige Skin Tones, but that was actually a little darker than my skin..This shade has warm undertones..My face is alot pinkish and the rest of my body has yellow undertones..so i do prefer a foundation with warm undertone to reduce the pinky-ness of my face and match it with the rest of my face!

 Coming onto the coverage, it applies nice and smoothly and can be blended accordingly to achieve sheer, medium, or full coverage..i prefer sheer coverage on the entire face and another layer on just the parts where i need a little more coverage and im good to go :)

Heres the swatch..


After blending..


It does cover well, i know its darker than my skin :(
but it covers the pinky-ness all over my cheeks and nose well..and makes my face appear more warmer, so it matches my rest of the body
It can't replace your concealer though!


The staying powder is pretty good, it does last..its not been recommended for extremely oily skin people, i have EXTREMELY oily skin in summers, but this time of the year, its going on the drier side!
The texture is soft matte, which means your face will have a little glow to it
Dry Skin people need to put a moisturizer before this, or it will accentuate the dry patches on the skin..people will combination skin just need a good primer..not too much moisturizing or your face will start feeling heavy

Price is Rs.850 for this tube, which is not a big issue..but keeping in mind the Kryolan TV Paint Stick, i think the price should've been lower or the product could have been more!


Overall, this cream based foundation is not at all heavy..did not break me out, the coverage can be maintained as you like and it last a good amount of hours on your face..without touch-ups :)


ShyCheeeks Likey!

New Luscious Whitening Base for Oily/Combination Skin ~ Review

Image
A year or two ago when i got the Luscious Whitening Base, i looked at it and wished it came in a bigger tube..Im Happy that Luscious Cosmetics released it in a bigger better tube :) Lets see how this one performs! Whats they Say? Save Your Skin!  Sun damage has become a big part of our lives due to pollution and the environment. No matter what your age is, you are at risk of sun damage (dark patches and uneven skin tone) every time you step out without a good sun block. Here to the rescue is Luscious Whitening Base SPF 35. All in One:  • Oil-free Moisturiser  • High performance Sun Protection  • Makeup Primer The benefits: The list is endless. With continued use, you will see a visibly clearer and fairer complexion, as well as smoother skin texture. ShyCheeeks Experience Im really happy they actually changed the tube, the previous one was a little hard to squeeze and was for 'All Skin Types' Now this comes for Oily/Combination and for Dry Skin I like the concept...

Wishlist #12

Image
1. CLINIQUE Cheek Pop Blush These blushes grabbed my attention the moment I laid my eyes upon them. They look adorable with the beautiful floral relief and I hear it's not just their looks that is spectacular, the creamy-powder hybrid formula is highly praised as well. Peach Pop appeals to me most and perhaps even Berry Pop , though it looks super bright. I really wanted to see them in person when I went to Müller a week ago, but it appears Slovenia is late to the party yet again. Boots international has them for £16.50 (about 20.6 €) . 2. DIOR ADDICT Fluid Stick and MAYBELLINE Color Elixir Lip Color   I used to own loads of lip gloss, but I have since completely switched to lipsticks resulting in a very pathetic lip gloss collection for a beauty enthusiast. These new releases by Maybelline and Dior, which are just a couple of the new takes on very pigmented versions of lip gloss formula, caught my attention. I swatched a few Dior ones in Müller and I really liked them. I al...

Hair Oils Series: Kérastase Elixir Ultime

Image
And the award for the most over-dramatic advertising goes to -  Kérastase (owned by L'Oreal): “The alchemy of four precious oils to beautify hair. A new legend is born, the secret of magnificent hair is revealed.” *Facepaw* Alchemy? Legend? Secret of magnificent hair? Give me a break. Who comes up with these things? It’s a hair product not a trailer for a fantasy blockbuster. Let’s keep it real, please. But let’s focus on the product. Packaging : A clear plastic bottle with a pump. It's good for travelling, not only because it's plastic, but also because the bottle is light. It has a pump that dispenses the product nicely and in small amounts, so it's easy to pump out the desired amount. Because the bottle is clear, it's better to keep it stored in a dark place to protect it from sunlight. Ingredients : First two ingredients are silicones as with all of these hair oils. They are followed by corn oil, argan oil, camelia oil and pracaxi oil. The rest six ingredients a...
