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 :)

5 Office Makeup Looks to suit ur mood!

If u r confused about what blush/lip combo to wear to office or need some inspirations fret not for I am gonna list down some of my favorite trusted combos to help u out :)

The looks are very simple and hardly take time. For every look Kajal and Mascara are default. I also use Garnier BB cream over moisturizer to give that lit from within glow. 




1.The Natural Look :
The first look is very basic. Use a MLBB shade of lipstick with a hint of blush that is more or less similar to the lipstick shade :) U can dust a teeny bit of highlighter across cheekbones and nose if u find the look flat for ur taste.

My Choices:

Lipstick :
  • Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Rosy Nude
  • Lakme Lip Love in Rose Kissed
Blush :
  • Colorbar Cosmic Rose
  • Inglot 27
  2. The Face Brightener Look :

For this look I would suggest going for summer colors like corals/peaches/oranges. I am biased towads this look as it is an instant pick me up :)

My Choices :
 Lipstick :
  • Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Papaya
  • Revlon Lip butter in Tutti Fruiti
  • MAC See Sheer
  • Avon Simply Pretty Mango mania
  Blush:
  • Lakme Day Blusher


 3. The Eye Focus Look :
Here in addition to the kajal and mascara, apply thick black liner on the upper lash line. Smudge it a bit if u like. U can swap black with grey to make the look more smoldering :)
If u r going with this look a peachy brown lipstick would be my suggestion.
My Choices:
Lipstick :
  • Maybelline Colorsensational My Mahogany
  •  Atittude Natural Brown
 Blush :
 I personally would not wear blush with this look but u can use a dusty/dirty rose shade like Lakme Cheek Artist in Rose Kissed
4. Healthy Flushed Look :
This look is more focused on the cheeks. Hence use a good amount of medium pink/peachy pink  and blend out well. The blush should mimic ur flush after a good jog. Finish with a light swipe of peachy pink/light pink gloss.

My Choices:
Lipstick :
  • Bourjois Rose frisson
Blush :
  • NYX Peach
  • Avon Simply Pretty Fresh rose


5. Polished Look :

This look is simlar to the 1st one but more chic. 

My Choices :
Lipstick :
  • Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in Sweetheart
  • Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Rose
  • Maybelline 14 HR Lipstick in Lasting Chestnut (for brown lovers) 
Blush :
  • Inglot 58
  • Kryolan R6
  • Kryolan Mocca ( for pairing with lasting chestnut)

 U can always mix and match the combos :) Not necessary u need to use the exact products. The post was just to give a gist of various combinations that work well for me and that might work for u too :)
Most of the products listed above have already been reviewed here so u can use the search box to go thru them :)
