Lipstick Love: Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick In Sugar Bloom #652 Review and Swatches!!

Sugar Bloom?? What the hell is that name??I didn't want to gross u guys but The Evil Me couldn't stop itself :D
According to Wikipedia:
Chocolate bloom is a moldy-looking white coating that can appear on the surface of chocolate. This effect is one of the main concerns in the production of chocolate. There are two types of bloom: fat bloom, arising from changes in the fat in the chocolate; and sugar bloom, formed by the action of moisture on the sugar ingredients. The unsightly crystals of fat and sugar bloom limit the shelf life of many chocolates. Chocolate that has "bloomed" is still safe to eat, but may have an unappetizing appearance and surface texture.

But don't u worry gals We are talking about a lipstick which doesn't have sugar as its ingredient...umm a minute..wait what is responsible for that syrupy taste??:O

Anyways I will leave this discussion open and move on to my review!





It is a sort of caramelly brown..the 3rd pic is a more apt color description ;) It is a brown shade that will suit most skin tones and will not make u luk older!But it may not suit very fair beauties!!
The shade from the tube reminds me of the colorbar nail laquer 25 review here
For me It is my MLBB brown shade,...I usually dont wear browns on my lips but I like this one and wear it along with my Faces Amber Rose blush !
This lipstick can be paired with bright eye makeup ;) or when u go for the No makeup look :)

The staying power is 2 hours and the pigmentation is average..I need to swipe 2 times for a decent amount of color on my lips!
Smooth Texture and Doesn't dry my lips!But u will happier results with a lip balm underneath :) 
But the Oh God Noooo factor of this lipstick is the syrupy smell and taste!!Yuckk makes me throw up but I control as a decent person I am ;)
Tha packaging is typical Lakme But well they have changed the packaging for Lip Love as well as the Absolute range atleast :)
Overall A good lipstick for the price 225/- and u can experiment with the colors in this range to know what sort of shade u want from the High end Brands :)

Back with Elle 18 Mulberry Splash Review and Swatches!!

U guys might have seen my status on Fb mentioning my intentions to "quit blogging" but after I saw ur comments I took time to think and was like hell!this is something I like doing..sharing my experiences gives me a high :D So am back with the review of Elle 18 lipstick in Mulberry Splash!!

Elle 18 products are dirt cheap but I never got them before the relauch !! I got all the sparklers,black out eyeliner,lipgloss in berry bomb and this particular shade of lipstick!

I was looking for a mauve shade and there were no testers available so I ended up looking at the catalog and got this.After coming home and excitedly applying it I vowed never to get a mauve lippie :(





It is a purplish mauve color with silver shimmers..has more of grey undertones ...it is very sheer and u need 3 swipes for a proper color and they are nt drying..but do settle on fine lines!The shimmer doesn't suit this particular color.The color stays for an hour without eating or drinking otherwise it vaporizes completely..not even a slight hint of stain.
About this shade,I hate it..it transforms into a grey shade with silver shimmers on my lips :@ I cannot wear it even at my home.
Overall the lipstick is so and so..u can try shades like pomegranate pie,fruitopia and other pinks and reds.It has lot of shades to choose from!!And extremely pocket friendly..great options for college students!!U can carry them with u as they are snug but be careful as the packaging is flimsy..drop it more than thrice ur lippie would be squashed ;) and the heat too can ruin ur lippie!
Here is how it looks on my lips :

Lipstick Love : StreetWear Color Riche lipcolor in Pink Satin


So long!!! I am just gonna do a short review on the pink satin lippie from the streetwear color riche lip color range. This was a random purchase as I had only 150 bucks at hand so I just moved to the streetwear counter and asked for lipsticks. The SA showed me lippies from the 220/- range. Then I remembered reading a review of the lipsticks from a lower range on IMBB.Now, the SA showed me some 4/5 colors and this was the only color that felt wearable to me! So Now I have the Pink satin!





















PROS:
1. Low budget lippie
2. The color is very intense.
3. U can vary the intensity to suit all skin tones.
4. Doesn’t dry lips.

CONS:
1. The packaging is very cheap...Expected for this price
2. The color bleeds.

3. U must keep it in the refrigerator as it tends to melt.
4. Only few colors to choose from and most are very dark.


RATING:
:D :D and half :D 

RECO:
U can try this for the intense color otherwise skip it !!
