Formula is same, they are matte and drying, long staying. Shade 32 is slightly watery though, but it felt the same on the lips. These do need two layers unlike the usual Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks. Since all the shades are very deep and dark, one layer would not cover entire lips and some areas might be left uneven and patchy. Two layers works well and covers lips completely.
All the shades would work for pretty much all skin tones, as all are deep.
Three of the six shades are perfect Indian bridal shades, 31, 32 and 34. They are deep red/brown/burgundy which work well with the red Indian wear. Especially 32 Brass Class is a perfect Indian bridal shade.
L-R: 31.32.33.34.35.36
31 CARMINE SHINE – Metallic Bright Red
32 BRASS CLASS – Deep Bronze Brown
33 AMETHYST TWIST- Metallic Plum
34 MERLOT GLOW – Metallic Burgundy
35 RADIANT CURRANT – Metallic Burnt Blackened Red
36 PINK CLINK Metallic – Rose Gold
I love 32, 33 and 36. Let me know your favourite shades in the comments below 🙂

Sugar Ace of Face Foundation Sticks Review, Swatches, Demo, Wear Test
Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics has launched their new Ace of Face Foundation Sticks today. I have two shades with me and I have done a quick review, swatch and wear test video.
Claims: Make dreamy skin a reality in one simple step with the SUGAR Ace Of Face Foundation Stick. Lightweight, creamy and beyond easy to blend, its long-wearing formula offers coverage that not just looks but also feels like second skin. This handy stick blurs away enlarged pores, fine lines, dark circles, blemishes and more… so there’s really no excuse left for you to flaunt anything less than picture-perfect skin. Get ready to make a permanent place in your makeup bag for this magic wonder and score sheer-to-full coverage without looking cakey every single time!
How to Apply: Designed to be applied on the go, cut short your routine and pop this in to your everyday handbag. Stripe it on your T-zone, underneath your eyes, your chin and follow up by blending it outward with the built-in brush. Apply directly from the stick onto your complexion and build coverage as needed. The luxurious brush-end is specially handy for buffing the product out and touching up uneven spots. Use it all over to even out your complexion or use it as a touch-up tool by applying a dab or two to problem areas.
Benefits: A little goes a long way with this foundation stick – thanks to its unusually high pigmentation. The full-coverage, waterproof formula offers a totally matte finish that lasts for up to 12 hours. Weightless when applied, the handy built-in brush makes it uber-easy to blend the product in or touch-up spots. Enhanced with moisturizing ingredients, this multipurpose stick can be utilized as a medium-to-full coverage foundation or concealer as needed. This product is dermatologically tested & approved and 100% safe for your skin.
Full quantity
This product is dermatologically tested & approved and 100% safe for your skin. Made in Korea.
To start with the packaging, this has to be the most convenient packaging in a foundation, it comes with a built in buffing brush! You can literally use it on the go. Carry in your bag for after office parties, if you don’t wear foundation on a daily basis or just travel with this one foundation. No need to carry a separate foundation brush, concealer brush or beauty blender. The brush is really dense and nice and blends everything really well. I wish it was a little longer though, but yes cleaning and drying is definitely required. I hope the bristles don’t come off post washing, I will update you guys on that.
The packaging overall is also quite sturdy and not flimsy. Nykaa stick foundation packaging was very flimsy and felt like the whole foundation part would come off.
Texture wise, it is super creamy and highly pigmented. You need very little qty, and this 12g would last you really long! I didn’t know it was this pigmented or I would have used half. But I literally just touched the stick on my face.
It even fills in the pores and makes skin look super smooth. It feels very comfortable and light weight on the skin.
I would recommend applying a bit and blending it first and then adding on areas which you feel need little more coverage, coz a little goes a long way with this.
Hourglass stick foundation is 7g and this is 12g, I really like the quantity. It is made in Korea and the quality is definitely very good. The shade range is good too, they do cover light and deep skin tones, they can add 2 more though.
The finish is semi matte and it gives a soft, dewy look. You can powder your face on some areas if you have dry skin, oily skin will definitely need to powder.
I wore it for 7+ hours without any powder touch up and it lasted pretty well. It did crease below eyes and faded a little on the corners of nose and on smile lines, but that is with pretty much any foundation, if you don’t touch up 7 hours.
The shade 02 Galao is described as light medium shade with golden undertone and 03 Chococcino is described as a medium shade with warm undertone.
I use Galao on the centre part of face and Chococcino on the outer perimeters of face, jawline and neck. The combination of both shades works pretty well for me, though 03 alone works too with a separate highlighting concealer under eyes.
Overall, I would say I absolutely love this stick foundation and highly recommend it! The only base I am carrying for my next travel for sure 😀

Shades:
01 Muslin Mauve (Mauve Nude)
02 Plush Pink (Deep Rose Pink)
03 Velvet Violet (Dark Raspberry)
04 Crêpe Coral (Peachy Coral)
05 Poplin Plum (Blackened Plum)
06 Taffeta Terracotta (Terracotta Brown)
07 Tweed Taupe (Taupe Rose)
08 Brocade Burgundy (Burgundy)
09 Felt Fawn (Grey-toned Beige Nude)
10 Satin Scarlet (Red)
It comes in a frosted, transparent packaging with a black cap. The cap of one of my lipcolour broke though, it was too tight and stuck and a part of the cap broke. However didn’t have an issue with any other lipcolour. They are formulated and manufactured in Italy.
These are different from the previous Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks. These are not drying and are very comfortable on the lips. They have a velvet matte finish and a moussey formula. They stay for about 6-7 hours. They take time to dry though, they take about 3-4 minutes to dry completely but once set, they don’t transfer. They would survive light tea, drinks, snacks, etc. but if you have a full oily meal, then these would fade from the center and will need reapplication.
Velvet Violet shade was slightly patchy, rest were all pretty good and easy to apply. You can wear these even if you have dry lips, because these don’t accentuate fine lines or suck the moisture out of your lips.
Overall I would say, I do find these a little expensive but the formulation is very good. Pick a shade if you don’t have any such similar shades already.
My favourite shades are Muslin Mauve, Taffeta Terracotta, Tweed Taupe and Felt Fawn.
Swatches- New Shades 15 to 18 of Sugar Matte As Hell Lip Crayons
Hi folks,
Sugar Cosmetics keeps on adding new shades and to their existing products and launching new products. This time they have added 4 new shades to their Matte As Hell Lip Crayons range.
Check out the review and previous swatches HERE, HERE,HERE and HERE
GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com
The shades added this time are:
L-R: 15, 16, 17, 18
15 Stephanie Plum which is a mauve plum
16 Claire Underwood which is a yellow brown based orange
17 Brandy Herrington which is a rusty reddish pink
18 Rosalind which is a nude rose
L-R: 15, 16, 17, 18L-R: 15, 16, 17, 18
First three shades would work for all skin tones and the last shade would work for fair to medium skin tones. Stephanie Plum and Brandy Herrington are my favourites.
All the 4 shades are perfect, everyday wear shades. Rosalind would be a nice MLBB for fair skin tones, it’s a peachy pink. Brandy Herrington looks more like a rosy brown and is an universally flattering, wearable shade. It’s neither nude nor too bright. Claire Underwood is more brown than orange. Stephanie Plum has the perfect mix of mauve and plum.
Overall, I loved all the four shades. Sugar always brings amazing colors and their formulation of lip products is fabulous. I am a big fan of the Matte As Hell Lip Crayons range and definitely recommend these.
Sugar Contour De Force Mini Highlighter 01 -Rs. 299
Nirvana Handmade Soap Orange Honey- Rs.150
Bella Voste Ulti Matte Chubby Stick- Rs.499
Vedantika Lemongrass Face Wash- Rs.150/- for 50ml
Veet Ready to use Wax Strips- Rs.99
Acne’s Purifying Face Wash- 2 sachets
I had an option to pick a combination of two makeup products this month, from varied choices. It was the Sugar Mini blush/contour/highlighter paired with either Sugar Viola Crayon sample or a full sized Bella Voste Crayon. Now I wanted to give them away to one of you and I already had all Sugar launches, so I picked the full sized Bella Voste crayon along with Sugar highlighter for one of you.
I love the shade ‘Rose Crush’ of the Bella Voste Matte Crayon, it’s a pretty rosy pink, perfect for everyday.
Champagne Champion highlighter by Sugar is also very pretty and subtle enough for daily and day time use.
I love the refreshing orange scent of the soap and the lemongrass face wash.
The face wash and Veet wax strips are perfect for travel. Veet wax strips are always handy.
The total value of all the products in this month’s bag comes to Rs.1200/- I do recommend the bag if you get a choice to pick two makeup products. You can recover the cost of the bag in those two, the other things being bonus.
I am also giving away both of these products on my youtube channel, so join HERE
Sugar Cosmetics Contour De Force Palettes/Minis Review, Swatches + Giveaway
Hi guys,
Sugar Cosmetics is back with yet another launch, this time they have launched face palettes. It’s called Contour De Force Palette and has a bronzer, blush and a highlighter.
GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com
Palette 01 is called Subtle Summit and Palette 02 is called Vivid Victory, each of the shades in these palettes are sold individually too as minis i.e. mini bronzer/mini blush and mini highlight. (Buy HERE)
The quantity is the same i.e. 4g in both, palettes cost Rs.799/- and minis cost Rs.299/-. So palettes are more economical, also more travel friendly.
They have a cardboard packaging and it’s not super sturdy but won’t bend or break that easily too. The palettes come with a mirror.
The palette 01 has Blush 01 Peach Pink, Bronzer 01 Taupe Topper and highlighter 01 Champagne Champion.
01 Subtle Summit
Peach pink is a soft, peachy pink blush, Taupe Topper is a cool toned bronzer with gray undertone and the highlighter Champagne Champion is a muted champagne gold.
01 Subtle Summit
The Taupe Topper bronzer is more of a contouring powder than a bronzer and works really well. I loved it. The blush is very muted and would need layering to show up, more suitable for fair skin tones. The highlight is also very subtle and muted, it gives a soft glow suitable for day time, but it’s not like one of those blinding highlights. I personally prefer a stronger highlight though.
02 Vivid Victory
The palette 02 has Blush 02 Pink Pinnacle, Bronzer 02 Woody Wonder and highlighter 02 Gold Glory.
Pink Pinnacle is a deep rose shade, Woody Wonder is a warm brown bronzer (this is more of a bronzer) and Gold Glory is a muted golden bronze.
02 Vivid Victory
The blush is very pretty and would work for all skin tones, bronzer is quite light and would only show up on fair skin tones and the highlight is again subtle and muted, would work for all especially deeper skin tones.
I feel they should have interchanged the bronzer in both the palettes and then palette 01 would be perfect for fair skin tones and 02 for deeper skin tones.
I like the bronzer 01, blush 02 and highlighters both, but 02 more. The texture is really smooth and the powders are very finely milled. These palettes are perfect for day time use and travel, both the highlighters are very subtle and muted, if that’s what you prefer in highlighters.
I do like and recommend the new Sugar Cosmetics face palette, the combination is again an off for me, just like I mentioned in the eye shadow quads HERE.
I am giving away the minis on my Youtube channel, the video embedded below, join 🙂
