Lotus Pure Stay Blusher in Rose Kiss Review and Swatches!

When Lotus launched the Pure Stay range the blushes were the only things that caught my attention.Rice powder for blush?? And oooo the pretty packaging. 

Now that I have been testing it out for some time now I have drawn some concrete conclusions over the blush!

The blusher comes in a heavy glass like box wrapped inside a satin pouch that gives a luxurious feel to the whole packaging :)

But on the flip side the case is not travel friendly. I would rather carry 2 more tees ;)

The blush case has a big mirror and a brush. The brush is soft and can be substituted for a blush brush in case of emergencies or when u r too lazy to scour for ur brush ;)

The blush has a rivulet kinda pattern over it which is uncommon in desi brands.

 
 The shade is a warm peachy rose with obvious golden shimmers. I would not call it peachy pink as pink is a more intense color. The blush lends a warm flush. One of the most natural kinda blushes I have tried albeit the shimmers. 

The shimmers are finely milled and non gritty but do tend to accentuate the pores.I do not have big open pores. Still I wish the shimmers were present in lesser degree. 

Under Direct Sunlight

 
The blush has a powdery soft texture and lots of fall out. But as it does not have lots of chemicals I can compromise with the fall out.

The pigmentation is medium. On my fair-medium skin a single swipe gives a rosy flush with a lil glow. With another swipe the color does not intensify but the shimmers do. It is like my skin drinks up the color. On dusky skin this will show up beautifully :)  

The staying power is between 4-5 hours on my dry skin after which faded considerably.

The Pure Stay range products are 100% vegetarian and Preservative free. That is one of the critical reasons I wanted to try these blushers.

The pricing could have been better as not everyone is blush crazy as some of us are and would not be willing to cough up 600 bucks for a drugstore brand.


VERDICT :

The glosses are the star kids of the Pure Stay range. I like this blush but not in love with it. The pros of the blush : the warm flush and being preservative free along with the pretty packaging.


 

Lotus Pure Stay Lip gloss in Peach Pink Review and Swatches!

I used to be madly obsessed with Anushka Sharma at one point! Her flawless glowing skin,peachy pink lips, hint of coral blush and her cute smile :) 

But I got bored.Now that is the reason I don't like commitments ;)Those times I used to search high and low for a peachy pink gloss that would make me look sweet. But suddenly the bad ass world of bright colors beckoned me and I totally forgot abt peachy pinks. So when Lotus had a sale I grabbed the Peach Pink shade from the gloss range :) 

The gloss comes in a long rectangular see through tube.Sturdy and travel friendly.I totally adore the packaging. But it is a bit heavy. Maybelline High Shine glosses are lighter and easier to carry.

Is priced at Rs.395 for 8ml gloss. Might seem expensive but Revlon and Colorbar provide only 3.9 ml and 3.8ml resp for 500 bucks. So the pricing is good for the quantity.

The gloss is 100% vegetarian and preservative free. Hats off to the brand for that :) 

The color Peach Pink is a pink gloss with hints of peach in it. It is the shade you can comfortably wear to office without earning stares. Definitely not an attention seeker. These days I find myself picking glosses over lipsticks as they are more wearable.

The applicator is spongy and helps disperse the gloss evenly.

I am unable to pinpoint the smell but it stays for atleast 1/2 hr. 
The texture is sticky. Very sticky.That is the only part I find annoying. seriously annoying :@

This particular shade is devoid of shimmers and imparts a juicy sheen to the lips.
I personally feel the gloss range is very moisturizing. I feel it even after the gloss wears off.

The gloss stayed for 2.5-3 hours without food/drinks. After that it leaves a slight tint.

VERDICT:

U can call this shade the counter pole of Pink Hypnotic. While that is a bright coral red kind of shade this is more of a subdued pink :) I would rate this 4.8 out of 5.

Pair this shade with a subtle pink blush like Colorbar Cosmic rose or Peachy rose for that girl next door look :)

I got it in Pink Hypnotic and well am more than pleased :)

The gloss comes in a long rectangular see through tube.Sturdy and travel friendly.I totally adore the packaging as it is sleek. But it is a bit heavy too.
Is priced at Rs.395 for 8ml gloss. Might seem expensive but Revlon and Colorbar provide only 3.9 ml and 3.8ml resp for 500 bucks. So the pricing is good for the quantity.
The color is as mentioned hypnotic ;) A stunning melange of red and pink with hints of coral in it. During the day it looks innocently coral pink but at night gives a sexy reddish pink pout.

Has lots of shimmer in it that do not look tacky but add to the sheen of the gloss.
The applicator is spongy and helps disperse the gloss evenly.
The gloss has a sticky texture. The kind which attracts ur hair to ur lips.I personally found it a bit annoying.
Stayed for 2 hours without food and drinks on my lips. With light snacks it left behind a pinkish stain that stayed for another 1/2 an hr. 

The shimmers do disperse to sum degree(check d swatches) but do not stay back for longer time as grit ur lips. They vanish with the gloss. 
I am so liking this range that I am gonna pick up Peachy pink and an orange one :)

VERDICT:

 Gloss lovers shouldn't miss this range especially the color.It is an attention seeker and great for meet ups and night outs. But if ur office does not have strict makeup policies then go gurl!
