Medora Matte Lipsticks , Review & Swatches

This is one product that i wanted to own for ages. Everybody had it, everyone talks about it but i do not own it, isnt it enough to make you feel envious ? Finally i got my hands on two shades of Medora Matte lipsticks. Lets have a look.

Medora matte lipsticks in Fiesta and Full Fuchsia left to right

Packaging :
It comes in a cardboard packaging which is grey in color.The lipstick bullet is grey and golden, which looks decent if you keep cheap price tag in mind. I paid 120 Rs. for each. The ingredients list is not included on the cardboard packaging which is a minus point for me as i am really curious about ingredients.

Medora Matte lipstick Full Fuchsia and Fiesta-

  I am glad that these have proper names along with numbers and matching tags on the bottom side on both cardboard and lipstick tubes. These tags are very similar to the actual shade, so it makes these very practical while organizing your makeup stash or when you need to find them in hurry.

 My Experience:
Medora of london is not a new brand. Its been there for ages but i have never got a chance to try them. After reading rave reviews on other blogs i decided to give them a try. I must say the color range is very bright and youthful. I picked two colors. First one is Fiesta , it is a warm rose pink which looks so good against my warm beige complexion. Its a great everyday kind of pink which just brightens up my face. The texture is matte and dry. I would recommend you to wear a lip balm if you have dry lips as it may makes them drier. They lasts for a good 3-4 hours leaving a pretty pink stain behind.
The Full fuchsia is more creamier than fiesta. It glides on smoothly and does not need a lip balm underneath. The color is very youthful and bright. Its a true fuchsia color. I do not have any shade similar to this, so i am very happy that i picked it up. If you like bright lippies , you would love it for sure.
The coverage of both lipsticks is opaque. Here are the swatches of both.

My recommendation:
In my opinion if you are on a budget and looking for an affordable alternative for pretty and fashionable lip colors, you can give them a try. I wish if they could mention ingredients too so i can use them for often without suspicious in mind.

Price & Availability:
Rs.120 each and available at most of the local markets , nationwide. Not available outside Pakistan.

Soft Matte Lipstick in Canada by Vasanti Cosmetics [Review & Swatches]

Hey girls , I was sent few Vasanti cosmetics products for review purpose . Vasanti Cosmetics is a canadian brand and i am really impressed by their range of cosmetics. I am very much pleased to see that these products are packaged beautifully and has a high end brand feel to them . Today i am going to review soft matte lipstick in shade Canada !!

Packaging :
I am a great fan of good packaging . And It is really nicely packaged in a blue box with nicely written beauty in some international languages and information about weight and shade name. The silver metallic body of this lipstick gives a high end look to it .

Product Information :

Loaded with great ingredients that have hydrating, light diffusing and anti-oxidants properties so your lips are taken care of while you wear colour

My thoughts :


What i find unique about these lipsticks that their names are given after country names.I selected shade Canada for my consideration . I thought that it would be a special shade because this brand also belongs to Canada. And i was right. This particular shade is a beige brown color with mauve undertones which really compliments my wheatish skin tone .I also feel that it is a universally flattering shade which will looks great on most skin tones. I find these lipstick really moisturizing and the best thing , it stays put on the lips for a good 3 to 4 hours even after a meal. The texture of this lipstick is creamy and matte. It gives a opaque coverage to the lips which i truly love.
I love the fact that this lipstick is formulated without harmful ingredients which makes it really healthy .
here is a swatch of Canada on my hand :

On my lips :

Over all , i really like the color and pigmentation of this lipstick . Despite the fact that it is a matte lipstick , it does not make my lips dry at all , but keeps them hydrated. I will highly recommend this to those who are looking for a long lasting velvet finish matte lipstick !!
