Guest Review by Sreeparna Ganguly Today’s review is going to be on Street Wear Color Rich Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Rouge. The brand Street Wear is a sister concern of internationally renowned makeup brand Revlon. While Revlon sells medium-to-high end makeup items, their budget products are marketed under Street Wear. Street Wear used to have very boring packaging with average product quality until their recent relaunch. This time they are back with bang for sure! Both product’s quality and packaging have been improved to such an extent that they have outperformed many-a-one’s expectations. Now they have included interesting twists by featuring four imaginary ladies (Aisha, Susie, Shanaya and Simeran) on their products. Each of their makeup items comes under the favourite list of any of them. For example, this lip gloss shade is Simeran’s choice. About Street Wear Color Rich Mega Shine Lip Gloss Ultra-glossy, packed with moisturizing properties and a non-sticky formula, the StreetWear Color Rich Mega Shine Lip Gloss will add gorgeous shimmer and color in your life! Price Rs.170 for 7ml. Buy here. Ingredients Not Mentioned Packaging The lip gloss comes in a cylindrical tube with screw-open lid. The lid has a doe-foot applicator attached to it that helps to spread the product on the lips. The body of the gloss tube is made up of transparent plastic just like most other lip glosses but the main attraction lies in its lid. The lid has a depiction of Simeran who likes this shade a lot. The packaging is very simple but fully leakage proof. It is a sleek tube and it is very easy to carry. The packaging is up to the mark for this price range. Texture & Smell Consistency wise the lip gloss is medium; neither too thick nor too runny. It does not contain shimmer particles. It does not feel heavy on my lips either. It does not attract hair at least like some other lip glosses did to me previously. It has a sweet bubblegum fragrance that stays for 15-20 minutes. The scent is quite refreshing in itself. Pigmentation Its pigmentation is comparable to Maybelline’s new Baby Lips Bright Out Loud! collection. In one swipe of the applicator wand, it gives translucent coverage to my medium pigmented lips. If I do 1-2 coats more, the gloss becomes nearly opaque. That means, for naturally pink lips and light to medium pigmented lips it would give good coverage. For heavily pigmented lips it would look like light pink tint. Shade- 11 Rouge Just like the fragrance, the shade rouge is bubblegum pink in colour. The shade has subtle warmth to it. This kind of shade looks flattering on every complexion from extremely cool tones to warm undertones. This shade is suitable for everyday wear, school, college and even for workplaces. Finish As it is a lipgloss, the finish has to be glossy. The finish is perfect for using on bare lips as well as for using on top of matte lipcolours. Longevity It survives upto 2-3 hours without meals. The staying power, my opinion, is nice considering the price point. My Experience After constant lip moisturization and exfoliation, my lip pigmentation problem has lessened to certain extent. I have medium to normal pigmented lips now. On my lips this lip gloss, when applied on very less quantity, gives an illusion of naturally pink lips. It gives a moisturizing effect to my pouts and makes them look fuller. I like to apply lipglosses with wand to the central area of the lips and then spread it with my ring finger. At times I apply a single coat of this product on my bare lips and go out like that. When I want to doll up my matte lipsticks, I run the gloss-wand over the matte lip colour. I have used it as cream blush sometimes. It blends well with my flesh colour and makes my cheeks pink in health! Likes Nice bubblegum pink shade Does not feel heavy if used in correct proportion Looks good on everyone irrespective of skintone Travel-friendly sleek packaging Fresh fragrance Dislikes No usage instruction or ingredient list included Summary-4.85/5 I would suggest this true pink lip gloss to anyone (with any skin tone) who is in want of a good quality budget-friendly ‘colour+care’ type of lip gloss for everyday purposes or for parties.

“If used right, you can own the night.” – Makeup Brushes & Techniques To Use One might own fancy eye shadows, or contouring palettes but until she has the right brushes and use the right techniques all will be useless. So girls if you are all stocked up with your makeup kits, it’s time to learn about basic brushes you need to steal the limelight. Foundation Brush A foundation brush has densely packed bristles with a tapered tip to provide smooth and even liquid foundation application. You should always dampen your foundation brush, this way the brush will absorb less liquid and will still provide nice coverage. Concealer Brush A concealer brush is same as foundation brush just with little less bristles. Take little concealer on the tip of the brush and dab on the spot you want to conceal. Don’t blend, just dab, until you achieve desired even finish. Eye Shadow Applicator & Blender Eye shadows generally come with small applicator, which are mostly scratchy, so you must own at least one eye shadow brush. Eye shadow brushes are long tailed but have small bristles. The small but fluffy bristles, make them perfect for blending. You can even achieve smokey eyes look with a simple eye shadow brush. Blush/Compact Brush Blush/Compact/Highlighter/Bronzer, these all require very less amount to be picked up, applied blended seamlessly. Blush brush/powder brush comes with long tail and fluffy angled bristles. Swipe the brush across the blush/highlighter and then across your cheeks. Eye Liner Brush: Fill your lower lash with kohl or achieve a winged eye liner with the help of this brush. Gel eye liners in pot require these type of brushes. These brushes have very small pointy tip to pick small product & give you a precision line. You can build up the line width at your desire. Lip Brush: Fill your lips with desired colour from a pot of lip colour with the help of this brush. These brushes are almost the same as eye liner brush but not that pointy. This type of brush has small tapered tip so that you can fill your lips. Brow n Lash Brush This type of brush has two parts- Comb & small brush. Using the comb part, comb through the clumsy brows and lashes but gently. You can also take off excess mascara from your lashes with the comb part of the brow brush. The brush part of eyebrow brush could be used to brush the unruly thick brows. This is an essential brush in eye brow grooming mostly ignored. Try and see the difference by yourself. Some More Fancy Brushes, That You Might Be Interested Into Kabuki Brush These type of brushes has small handle but really fluffy and round tips. These are perfect to put on powder foundations or setting powders. Gently swipe the kabuki brush across the powder, tap the brush on the edge of the powder container to shed off the extra product. Apply the powder on your face by moving the brush in circular motion. Stippling Brush A stippling brush is used to achieve air brush finish. You can apply foundation, blusher, highlighter anything you want. Mostly stippling brushes have two types of bristles, dense black bristles at the bottom, fluffy white bristles at the top. Pick foundation via white bristles and gently pat on your face like you are dotting the product on. Now gently swirl the brush in small circular motion to achieve a flawless finish. Blending Brush As the name says, its used for blending purposes, be it eye shadow, highlighter or bronzer. Streaks of colours on eye or cheeks won’t look good. Blending is the key to flawless makeup. The blending brushes are fluffy. Smudger Brush This type of brush is used to smoothen the eye shadow edges in a smokey eye look. After you have applied the kohl to your eyes, lightly swipe the smudger from one end to other. Repeat until, desired look achieved. Angular Brush These are regular brushes with just an angled cut so that it can take care of your high and low points. Be it eye shadow blending or perfect blush application, you need precision. Angular brush takes care of that precision. You are supposed to put the angled side against your cheek and then glide across your cheek maintaining the same angle. Viola, you are done. Fan Brush This brush comes handy if you encounter an accident with your eye shadow. Lightly fluff away the fallen eye shadow off your under eyes. Also you can apply powder blush, highlighter or bronzer. When you need an even but sheer coverage, fan brush is helpful. Beauty Blender Or Makeup Brush? Beauty Blenders are so hit these days that most of the brushes are ditched. You can apply foundation, highlighter, bronzer all just with the help of a beaut blender. Beauty Blender are specially designed makeup sponges with pointed tip to attain perfectly blended edges. So you can replace some basic brushes with a beauty blender. But if you are a hardcore makeup lover, you won’t want to replace any brush to keep the originality. Beauty blenders can be handy while travelling though. I started with Vega brushes and very quickly moved to Colorbar & PAC brushes, very few from MAC. Colorbar & PAC brushes worked like charm. Vega brushes are affordable but quality is not that impressive. How To Clean Your Brushes? You can either use ready made brush cleaning pads or simply the palm of your hand. Bring the brush under the running tap. Now sprinkle little hand wash/ gentle shampoo on the brush. Rub it against the cleaning pad or your palm. Rinse. Repeat if required. Put the brushes in a brush holder or a glass/mug to dry naturally. I will try to add more brush types and pictures, keep on checking back. Hope you enjoyed this post. Was it helpful?
