Lumiere S&B Bar Lumi Lips - Shade Holy Grail & Full of Grace Review

Hey ya people! I am back with another Lumiere product review. It is their Lumi Lips (lipgloss range) and I have received two sample sized glosses from them in shade Holy grail and Full of Grace which I am about to review today.
 

PRICE:  $3 for mini size lip wands that I have received. Available in larger Lip wands and tubes too.

QUANTITY: Not mentioned.

The whole range of colors:

 

INGREDIENTS: simmondsia chinisis (jojoba oil) & Ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer & butylene, mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide may contain : carmine, tin oxide, calcium aluminum borosilicate, avena sativa (oat powder)

WHAT IT CLAIMS:

" High shine for that "wet look" glossy finish. Enhanced with moisturizing jojoba oil that is long wearing and surprisingly not "sticky". "

SWATCHES:

MY EXPERIENCE: Since I love using lipglosses I was excited to try these out. These are very sheer lipglosses and the main plus point of these glosses are that they are not sticky at all. They keep lips moisturised very well and this is due to the presence of Jojoba oil I guess. Full of grace gives a hint of color while Holy grail is a plain gloss.Following is my take on these two glosses,

WHAT I LIKED:

• Superbly moisturing and devoid of any glitters/sparkles.
• Doesn’t feel sticky at all but has an oily feeling.
• Stays on lips for more than 2 hours without touch-ups.
• Easily comes off with water/cleanser.
• A wide range of colors available.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• Both the shades I received are very sheer and not suitable for pigmented lips. However you can top it on your lipsticks to make them look glossy.
• I didn’t find it glossy but rather oily on my lips.
• Didn’t like the oily smell.
• Have to be ordered online and adding shipping costs doesn’t make it a “hot “ product to reach out for with the cons above.

VERDICT: I am not really fond of such sheer lipglosses, however if you just want some gloss to top it on your lipsticks these could be a nice option. You can buy them here.

RATINGS:  3 out of 5

Lumiere S&B Bar Eye Pigments Review

Hello lovelies! I took off from blogging for 4 days (though I visited, commented and read other blogs regularly) to enjoy the Durga Puja festivities with my friends and family. And now I am back with another review. If you remember I told you all about the samples I received from Lumiere Cosmetics here, I thought of trying out the gorgeous eye-shadows during this festival season and see how it fares in all these crazy-jam-packed-sweltering hot-with a bit of rain thrown in-fun-filled days. 

 

 PRICE: $8

 QUANTITY: Large jar of 2gms. Sample size of 1gm is $5

INGREDIENTS: Premium grade serecite (colorless mica), boron nitride, zinc oxide, avena sativa (oat powder), titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tocopherol (vitamin e), may contain ferric ferrocyanide may contain : carmine, tin oxide.

SWATCH:

MY EXPERIENCE: In the eye swatches above I am wearing the eye-shadows on base of concealer dusted with compact (since I don’t own a primer yet) and they lasted a good 6-7 hours of wear until I removed it off. I loved the shades Ditto 05 and Soft brown the most and they can be worn in daytime, while I am still chickening out to wear Raspberry truffle outside which I instantly fell in love with when I opened my package the first time. Following is what I think about these eye pigments.

WHAT I LIKED:

• All the shades are superbly pigmented.
• The pigments are soft and smooth and can be easily worked with.
• Didn’t crease or fade even after 6-7hrs of wear.
• Ditto 05 and Soft brown can be worn in daytime, I won’t say they are matte but they are neither too sparkly. Raspberry truffle is a gorgeous color and I wish I had some talent to make it work the same for me.
• Didn’t irritate my eyes.
• A huge array of selection of colors is available on their website.
• Comes off easily with water/cleanser.
• The products were delivered to me safely without any breakage or anything.
• I just loved their packaging. They look very sleek and stylish.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• Loose pigments means a bit of fallout will occur. However these don’t spread crazily like other pigments do when wiped but comes off easily.
• Availability in India is an issue and hassles of online shopping.

VERDICT: I really loved these pigments and they are so “ME” shades that I can wear the two out of the three very comfortably on any occasion. I guess this is not a surprise that they receive full marks from me. You can buy these from here.

Lumiere S&B Bar Pucker Scrub Review

Hey friends! I guess with the whole craze for Body scrubs, Face scrubs, Foot scrubs, we definitely need a Lip Scrub in our collection to keep that pout beautiful forever. Today I will be reviewing the Lumiere S&B Bar Pucker Scrub that I received from Lumiere Cosmetics.

 

PRICE:  $5.99

QUANTITY: 1 oz.

INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS TO USE: Brown sugar, castor oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, mango seed butter, tocopheryl, glycerine.

“Perfect for dry winter lips! Simply massage a bit onto your lips to exfoliate, then wipe or...lick off! “

MY EXPERIENCE: I have used it quite a few times before going to sleep and following up with a lip-butter. Here is what I think about the product.

WHAT I LIKED: 

• The scrub is very mild and it contains very fine particles of brown sugar which is not harsh to feel.

• It has got a spicy smell very different from other lip products and I find it quite interesting.
• It gives a nice, smooth effect to the lips after scrubbing and wiping it off.
• I think it would be a great help for the dry, chapped lips in winter.
• The packaging is  nice and airtight. But I am not sure whether it would be travel friendly or not. However, the product display on their website shows a tub packaging, quite different from the sample I received.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE: 

• The oiliness/moisturisation evaporates after a few minutes and one needs to follow up with a lipbalm/lip-butter.

• Availablity in India is an issue and one has to rely on online shopping.
  

VERDICT: I don’t have any qualms with the product and it does delivers. But, you can also dupe something similar at home. You can buy this product from their website.
