NOTD: AVON Nailwear pro enamel in Golden Vision

Hello lovelies. Today I will be reviewing Avon Nail wear pro+ in Golden Vision. Avon is one of my favorite brands since they usually come up with great deals and their stuff is really good and doesnt put a dent in your pocket either. On to the nail wear,Im pleasantly surprised with this shade. I thought golden colour wont look that great in the day time since colours like these are usually reserved for parties. But it turns out this is a gorgeous dusky gold shade, which is extremely wearable.







I have applied two coats of the enamel without any top coat or base coat. The enamel did not chip off for almost a week which is the first for me since no matter how careful I am I always end up with chipping nail wear after like a day of applying it. It does not stain and dries quickly as well. Overall Im very pleased with this shade. Its a lovely colour for me.



Pros:

Affordable
Does not stain
Long lasting
Dries quickly
Nice Packaging

Cons:

I couldnt find any fault with this one, availability can be an issue though since its not available in Pakistan at the moment but you guys can always order it online.

Luscious Plumping Lipglosses with Review and Swatches

Hola ladies, how have u been doing? I know I know I have been a bad blogger, its been more than a month since I posted, my apologies. But I was badly stuck with my thesis *argh* and couldnt sum up the courage to put up a new post. So finally I am free and hopefully will be more regular with my updates. Coming back to the post, I will be reviewing Luscious Cosmetics Plumping lipglosses today.



From top to bottom: Raspberry glaze, creme caramel, berry smoothie, candy floss. 





Ok I think to start off, disappointment is a small word when it comes to explaining my experience with these glosses by luscious. All of these are way to sticky and shiny. Raspberry glaze is grainy and glittery, it is extremely sheer. Creme Caramel is the ONLY gloss which does not have glitter in it. Berry smoothie is my favourite among all these because of the colour and candy floss is transparent, you can use it to apply on some other lipstick to give it a shine. All these glosses have minty scent which Im okay with but the worst part about these glosses are these are too runny and too damned sticky. I tried removing them afterwards and it took more than 2 hours of eating and drinking to get that sticky feeling off my lips. Also if its windy out there, oh boy won't you be in a lot of trouble. My hair kept sticking to my lips, it was a total nightmare.  And lastly all these shades are so similar, there isnt much of a difference when you apply them on lips literally. probably because most of them are filled with glitter to no extent. I am SO disappointed with these since Luscious is a great brand developed particularly for Pakistani's womens' skin tones. But this one is a major let down.I probably think these were produced keeping only the teenagers in mind because they are the only ones who might go for these glosses.



Pros:

Cute packaging
Affordable

Cons:

Really sticky
Really shimmery
Wont like it if you are not into glittery glosses
Wont like it if you are not into scented glosses
Runny formula
