Luxurious lips with M.N luxury Lip Gloss - Review


Sometimes less is more. Sometimes even the more you get, the less you feel. Same is with me these days. I am kind of obsessed with liquid lipsticks only God knows why. For that I have tried every single one I could get my hands one whether I am out for grocery or for shopping or stopping by a food point. If I spot a liquid lipstick, I have to have it. So, this one today is also one of the liquid lipsticks I have. Let's have a look as how luxurious does it make you feel. 

M.N luxury Lip Gloss :

Provides a hint of luscious , luminous hint of color . No color bleeding or sticky tacky sensation. Binds in moisture to keep suppleness.

My Experience :


M.n Luxury Lipgloss 

This lip gloss comes sealed in a pack after with a clear side so you can see if the shade is the one which you have chosen from the testers which is a good point because the numbers are usually stickers and they tend to get misplaced which results in extremely bad mood when you open it up at home and shade comes out totally different from the one you chose at the counter. The tube itself is clear plastic with a standard doe foot applicator. The product is kind of thick, with a texture leaning more towards creamy side rather than runny. There is a tinge of smell. I don't know how to explain it but it sort of smells like a standard lipgloss smell that lingers on for a few minutes. 
now for the application. This is a tricky part because as I have said the texture is creamy and its thick as well, so LITTLE IS MORE here. Just get a little bit of the product and spread it evenly on your lips and let it dry for a while. Do not smack, i repeat DO NOT SMACK your lips during the drying because it makes it all blotchy and patchy. Once its dried it gives a gorgeous velvety finish, not the typical dried out parched lips but a gorgeous smooth creamy look to your lips which looks absolutely luxurious!! Oh yes, I was disappointed at first and didn't like to have it on my lips because it felt all heavy and took forever to dry but then I tried a thin layer and voila! Magic was there.

As for the lasting power is concerned, it lasts a pretty good 4-5 hours on me without eating and drinking. If you eat it depends upon the food, like if its oily the lip gloss will be removed fast, if its just a snack munching, it would last its usual time. After that it starts to fade form the inner side of the lips and in the end you are left with only lined lips. Yes its sad but its true :-( 
Moreover if you tend yo rub you lips, it starts getting flaky after a while and falls off. But i guess if you get rough with any liquid Lipstick it will finally give up, don't you think?
overall, I found this lip gloss to be tricky but treaty at the same time. Once you get the hang of it, you can go on flaunting those velvety lips everywhere.

M.n Luxury Lipgloss Shade 20:

This is a perfect Rose color that has a hint of pink . Might appear darker if layered up . This is a Single swipe across my arm and also a single thin layer on my Lips . You see how highly pigmented and even the application is ! 

Thumbs up for:


  • Sealed tube very time you purchase 
  • Affordable 
  • Sturdy packaging 
  • Travel friendly 
  • A huge shade variety to select from 
  • Gives a lovely velvety finish 
  • Doesn't dry up lips 
  • Good lasting power of 4-5 hours straight 

Thumbs down for 


  • Availability might be an issue 
  • Application is tricky, if you get a thick layer it will dry late and will flake off early. 
  • Smell might be a problem for a few people. 
  • Tends to fade from inside without leaving an even stain. 

My Rating:


I give this baby a good 4/5 because the finish is to die for! Not even a single lipstick be it liquid or tube type, gives me this finish. I am absolutely a fan of m.n luxury lip gloss and definitely adding more colors to my stash soon! 


Price & Availability :

M.n luxury lip glosses are available on local cosmetics stores nation wide for the price of 250-350 Pkr. I got mine from a Facebook page  BEAUTY TIPS. 


Good news for everyone around the globe as they ship within Pakistan and Internationally all over the Globe! 

Have you ever tried this lip gloss by m.n? Do you have any lipgloss that gives the same finish? Please let me know in the comments below because I love the finish it gives!

24 Hrs of matte kisses for everyone with Clazona Beauty 24hrs long lasting lipgloss - Review & Swatch

Lip creams, lip creams everywhere!  And why shouldn't they be? Everyone loves that matte kiss proof pout (read : eating proof, drinking proof, talking proof, lip biting proof) that looks and feels so luxurious. While all the high end  and the drug store brands coming out with their lip creams, I on the other hand had to try something before I went crazy-shopping for them. So, I present to you 24-Hrs long lasting lip gloss by my new found love CLAZONA BEAUTY.


*P. S* If you haven't read about the possible MAC strobe Cream dupe by Clazona beauty that I found READ HERE.


My Experience :

During my random strolls to the makeup section at my nearest grocery mall, I have found this relatively unknown brand that has so many products in cheap prices to try. In one of such strolls, I swatched their 24 hr long lasting glosses, that to my amazement dried to a matte finish and stayed put during my whole shopping, so I picked the safest color out of them (Number 522 ; A muted nude with pink undertones) Their are around 24 colors in this lip gloss range that range from muted nudes to bright pinks & burgundies, some pure matte while some have shimmer in them, so all in all their is a color for everyone in it!
The lip gloss comes in a small self standing tube with a twist open doe-foot wand. There is no proper mentioning as to what sort of Lip gloss is this (actually this isn't a gloss in any remote way). Each of the tubes has its number mentioned onnthe sticker below. I would have loved it more if they had given names to each color (like NYX lip creams), it makes me feel more connected to the product or may be I am just being finicky. The lip gloss has a thick consistency and sticks to your lips nicely. One swipe is opaque enough to cover up your lips nicely. I would suggest a swift application because the lip gloss starts drying and setting immediately. Spread it evenly over the lips and wait for about 1-2 minutes and voila!  A perfect matte pout. Another good thing about this gloss has no smell of any kind.
Now for the 24 hours claim, O actually didn't try it for 24 hours lol but the longest I wore this was around 8-10 hours.  Without eating or drinking it stayed put nicely all the time, by the end of 6th hour it started to fade at the corners and inside of the lips. At the end of the 10 hours it had faded to an even tint to my lips.
With eating and drinking, it stayed put for about 4-6 hours but faded fastly if not taken care of. Even after a luxurious dinner with all the oily kebabs and biryani, it was still there as a tint. So 24 hours claim might be true if you don't move your lips a bit ;-) but with all the humanly activities, it tends to stay for a good 6 hours minimum!

Tips:

  • Line your lips with the wand and then fill it with the gloss, this will make it a lot easier to get the perfect application every time 
  • Take a small amount on the wand and spread it evenly & swiftly, this will give even application 
  • Try not to smack your lips after application as we tend to do after applying lipstick, rather keep your lips parted till its dried completely, this will prevent sticking of lips and cracking of the gloss.
