Artdeco Perfect Color Lipstick - Review and Swatches

Hello fellow make up addicts! Even though I own plenty of red lipsticks, I am always on the hunt for new formulas and finishes. I have never tried anything from Artdeco before so I decided to give it a try. I got the Perfect Colour lipstick in shade 4. Read on to find out more about my latest discovery!

Product Claims

The Perfect Color Lipstick a nourishing lipstick with high pigmentation and a creamy texture and is ideal for Magic Fix. The supple Perfect Color Lipstick provides an even color coverage, long durability and a silky skin feeling. Additionally Vitamin E protects against moisture loss. The metal sleeve protects the stick from melting when exposed to heat.

What Do I Think?

Let’s talk about the packaging first, which has a black metallic casing, and therefore heavier than the average lipstick. It does not feel cheap at all and has Artdeco written over the cap so I can easily find it among the dozens of similar lipsticks I have lying around my vanity. When I first slide the bullet out, it felt slightly fragile maybe because the bullet is narrower and longer than most. The colour is a gorgeous bright cherry red with my fair neutral skin tone, which looks different in various lighting conditions. It appears more orange in daylight. When I swatched it on my hand, I wasn’t impressed because it felt a bit sheer to my eyes. However, all my regrets disappeared once I applied it to my lips. It does not lack pigmentation and has a wonderfully soft and comfortable formula. There is no scent at all, which is great news for sensitive nosed people like me. The formula is a very natural matte, which does not accentuate dryness. It makes my lips smooth and soft because of the Vitamin E added to it I believe. There is no bleeding or feathering and minimum product transferring. The colour can be build up to the desired intensity very easily, which in my case is only two swipes. The staying power is pretty good as well. It lasted 4-5 hours on my lips, with only the center of my lips disturbed due to eating and drinking. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable matte red lip colour.

New Year's First Drugstore Haul

Hello fellow make up hoarders! Today I am sharing my first haul of the year with some essential and some spur of the moment shopping for lip products and brushes. I had plans to go to Enem Store in Liberty Market Lahore to pick up some make up brushes missing from my tool kit and ended up getting some more goodies!

I already have the DMGM blending brush and although I have not collected enough information to write a detailed review on it, I am super happy with its performance. So, I decided to try out some more basic brushes from this brand. I got the flat foundation brush (PKR 895) and the large powder brush from DMGM (PKR 1150). They have not disappointed me yet but I will write complete reviews once I have tested them to my satisfaction.

I have always been attracted to Bourjois products but I haven’t had a chance to try them before. I read good stuff about the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet (PKR 1350) lip colours so I bought 06 Pink Pong, which has a matte finish. It is a vibrant deep fuschia shade and has one of the most comfortable formulas I have ever applied.

I also purchased the Bourjois Effect 3D Max 8H Long Lasting lip gloss (PKR 1450) in No. 13 Orange fruity, which is a delicate shimmery coral.

Staying true to my lipstick obsession, I grabbed two from the Rimmel stand. One of them is the Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick by Kate Moss No. 110 (red case) (PKR 875) and the other is No. 05 (black case) (PKR 875). No. 110 is an intense orange-y coral and No. 05 is a lovely everyday rosy pink.

Artdeco is one of those brands I often see in stores but never feel tempted enough to try. This time I picked up Artdeco Perfect Colour lipstick in No.4 (PKR 990), which a gorgeous matte cherry red shade that reveals its true beauty when applied to the lips I have learned.

Lastly, I was in dire need of a good large eye shadow brush and Colour Studio Professional has just launched their makeup brushes. So, I proceeded to grab their Flat Shader Eye shadow brush (PKR 350), which has been performing well so far.

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul post. Stay tuned for some exciting reviews coming soon!

Love,

Sadaf
