Pinot Noir
From the dark evening shades. Pinot Noir is my favorite shade. Pinot Noir means red wine in French. And it is definitely a red wine color. As soon as I wore it, Pinot Noir just brightened my face and I don’t think you need to wear much makeup with it. It is extremely gorgeous on my Indian skin tone and definitely the long-lasting one from the box Sealed with a Kiss by Manna Kadar.
Shae
One of the lip stain that looks good as a swatch on my hand, but I think it washed me out when I wore it with the lip liner. But, when I wore it with Soft-spoken from NYX cosmetics, it looked pretty nice and was transformed into a beautiful lip stain.
Shae is a true peachy shade and if you are lighter than me would look very good on you without lip liner. I think it is the shade that JLO wears a lot and if you play around with it and wear it with heavy smokey eyes, then I guess it would be very beautiful.
Sealed with a Kiss from Manna Kadar is Paraben Free:
One of the good things about Sealed with a kiss – Liquid Lip stain from Manna Kadar, is that it is free of Paraben, which is an extremely dangerous ingredient for skin and overall health that is added in the cosmetics for preservation of molds. Makeup that has paraben in it, can increase the chances of cancer and disrupt hormonal functions.
Manna Kadar Sealed with a Kiss is Allergy Tested:
Manna Kadar has taken this palette to another level by getting it allergy tested and including it in the list of hypoallergenic makeup brands. Most of the people with sensitive skin find it difficult to get makeup that suits them. Because even something as simple as a lipgloss causes redness, irritation in the lips, usually it is due to fragrance, but there are some other ingredients that contribute to it. However, it is great that Sealed with a Kiss from Manna Kadar is allergy tested. So, people with sensitive skin need not worry!
Features of Manna Kadar Sealed with a Kiss
Price:
It is about $$25 for 4 lip stains which is quite affordable due to the longevity & quality of the product.
Packaging:
These are standard size lip stains and come in a simple box. Although you cant take it along as it is not travel friendly.
Pigmentation:
I was very amazed to see light shades being so pigmented. A single swipe delivers excellent coverage to the lips.
Finish:
Shiny finish. The texture is very glossy and extremely hydrating.
Lasting:
As its name says, it is a lip stain, which means it is not long lasting. Especially the lighter shades, light Rosette and Shae fades very quickly. And on my Indian skin tone, it is lightly noticeable after fading. However, the dark colors like Pinot Noir & Manna Babe last longer, and definetly leave a stain behind.
