Biotique Bio Color Lipstick in Bamboo Review and Swatches! And No its not a Green!

Who names a lipstick bamboo ?? Seriously! Bamboos are green and have u guys ever seen a gal wearing green lip color ?? Not even the zombies ;) Zombies have grey/blue or even red lips with all the blood dripping down their disfigured faces. But let's say the guy/gal who named this lipstick bamboo was in love with bamboos as I am! Bamboos have a drugged effect on me. They remind me of dense green forests and Kerala! And maybe he/she loved this lip color with a fierceness that the creative team decided to name it Bamboo :)

Ahem Ahem :)

• The lipstick comes in  a black case which is practical and sturdy but not chic. They could have given more thought to the packaging.
• The biotique bio color lipsticks are priced at Rs.225/- 
• Bamboo is an innocent coral pink similar to Maybelline Coral pink but less vibrant. It is like the shy cute sister which every guy wants to get to know ;)
• The texture is not exactly creamy but glides without tugging.
• Would accentuate dry flakes so exfoliation and moisturizing with baby lips prior to application will help u not curse the lipstick for the color is too pretty for that.
• Has a vanilla-plastic mixture kinda smell that vanishes a few minutes after application.
• Sets to a matte finish but not drying.It exudes a slight glossiness initially. I go over with my chapstick after application.
• Staying power is less for a matte finish lipstick. The average wear time I got was 3 hours. It fades to a tint after food.

The second one from left is the bamboo one and the one next to it is Maybelline Coral Pink :)  Though they look the exact shade in the hand swatches, Bamboo is less intense and more wearable :)

VERDICT :

If u already own the maybelline one u need not necessarily get this shade. But it is a coral pink that would suit fair-medium skin amazingly well :)

Currently Loving! July edition!

Though I literally disappeared from the beauty blogging scene for sometime now I have been using makeup as a ritual to office everyday :) It does not matter that most of it vanishes before I set foot into my office ;)

So what am I liking a lot these days??

Go on have a look at the shots :

Color Color which Color do u choose from the blush palette?? I would so love to use all these shades at the same time but oh well I am not auditioning for clown fiesta :D

I can call R6 the safest color of the lot that stains the cheeks a rosy pink shade that looks Au natural :)

  

Also loving the Colorbar Lip pot in Cherry Pop and Avon Fresh Rose lipstick from the Simply Pretty range :) The cherry pop gives a lovely tint on sheer application and Fresh Rose is a young shade of sorts. Gives enough brightness to wake u up but not to the level where u get stared at in a berating way. The Biotique bio color lipstick in Bamboo is a pretty coral pink shade that a coral loving gal like me has got to own :)

I have been taking the Nutrilite supplement from Amway for over a month now and the results are clearly visible on my skin :) Skin looks brighter!

Like the Lakme eyeconic kajal but I so wanna try the Absolute kohl :) I also got this eye groomer brush from H & G and love how my lashes look defined and fluttery with a single swipe of the lash comb! Hats off to Wayne Goss for the tip ;)
