Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick in MAT 2 : Review and Swatches !!

It is summer when you sweat incessantly at 6 AM. And the dreadful summers are back in Chennai. Summer in Chennai is not a cause for celebration I guarantee you. But the least one can do is smother the lips in bright orange colors ;) 

Personally I am a fan of creamy glossy lipsticks. Then there are days when even the creamy lover in me longs for the bleed proof matte lipsticks. If you are in the lookout for a matte lipstick in orange at a budget friendly price, you have landed at the right page.

The Maybelline MAT 4 lipstick is a warm orange shade with red undertones that makes it look amazing on warm skin tones.

Though it is a matte lipstick, the application goes smooth and even. No patchiness.

The pigmentation is damn good. I need only a single swipe to cover my lips. But if your lips are very pigmented, you can run over once more for an even color deposit.

Since it is matte, I would urge you to apply a lip balm 10 mins before and wipe it off prior to application.

It settles to a matte finish within seconds of application and stays put for a solid 3 hours. On eating food, it fades out from the center of lips. So touch up is needed after food.

Starts drying out my lips after an hour so I keep applying a colorless lip balm at regular intervals.

It turns to a hot pink shade on my lips after sometime but all oranges turn hot pink on me :( 

I really love the color and matte finish of the lipstick. It is not neon-y yet brightens the face instantly. A great color for the Indian skin.

MAT 4 is redder and darker compared to MAT2.

Disclaimer : The product was sent by the brand for consideration. But my opinions are honest swear to God ;) 

P.S : I so want to own Lady danger and Vegas Volt from MAC but ended up picking up from some other color family this time. Will review that soon :)

Lipstick Love : Colorbar Velvet matte Lipstick in Obsessed Orange Review and Swatches!

Finally! Yay I possess the ever elusive Obsessed Orange shade from the Colorbar Velvet Matte Range! :D

And I wanted to flaunt it through a review ;)

• The packaging is pretty good.Cylindrical case with the lipstick color displayed at the end of the tube.
• Sturdy and Travel friendly.
• The shade is a Fanta Orange. A color tailor made for the warm undertones.
• The texture I felt is softer and creamier than the other Colorbar lipsticks I own from the range.
• Settles into fine lines but does not look obvious.

• Formula is drying since it is matte.Dry lips need a good prep consisting of exfoliation and good dose of moisturization before application.
• Finish is as mentioned matte.True matte lipstick.
• Single swipe provides medium coverage.For a tint, pat on the color with ur ring finger :)
• Lasted for about 4 hours on me.I needed numerous applications of lip balm the whole time.
• The tint it leaves behind on my lips is uneven.
• Priced at Rs.250/.

• The Inglot 37 lipstick (orange) leaner more towards red while this one is plain orange.IMO these 2 shades are very different.Personally I like the Inglot one :)
• The Obsessed orange shade does not look popping on me but if u r dusky it would certainly look like an explosion of orange color in a good way of course :)

VERDICT:
Well, if it is possible to have orange lips naturally then this might be my "that" orange shade ;) But the fact that I am not a fan of matte lipsticks extends to this one too despite the color.

Colorbar Obsessed Orange hates me!And I can't even hate it back.It is always out of stock when I go shopping :\ 




Anyways, I am experiencing a brand crush over Inglot ;) After the blushes it is time for their lipstick refills and am loving them :)

• Inglot offers Freedom System on their lipsticks,eyeshadows,brow powders,concealers,blushers and what not! U can try a plethora of shades without going bankrupt.
• Customized palettes are always a treat and when the quality offered is awesome u r bound to fall in love with the brand ;)

• The lipstick refill is packed inside a round metal pan placed inside a plastic case.U need a palette if you are going to travel with the refills.Inglot stores make it mandatory to own a palette if u r going to buy refills from them.I prefer ordering them online for majorbrands.in

• Each lipstick refill costs you Rs.250/- which is pricey for a 1.2 g product but most of us never come close to finishing a full tube of lipstick ;) I prefer these high quality less quantity refills.
• U need a lip brush to apply the color.Or u can make do with fingers.I like my Vega Lip Filler Brush :)
• Inglot Y u no not name ur pretty lipsticks/blushes/eyeshadows?? But It would be difficult to name so many shades.Some even overlap!
• This particular shade is a bright orange with red undertones.Just the perfect burst of orange warm skin tones need :)
• Glides on smoothly.

• Does not settle into fine lines.
• Pigementation is high.U need a tiny amount to cover all those *nasty* discolorations :)

• The finish is glossy which settles after half an hour or so to semi matte on my lips.
• Does not dry out lips but I still need a lip balm underneath. 
• It transfers but most lipsticks do except some of the mattes. 
• Lasts for 5-6 hours on my lips! And after that leaves behind a subtle orange stain :)
• FYI, the finish of the lipstick depends on the shade.
