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 :)

Lipstick Love : Amway Attitiude Lipstick Swatches and Review!!!

Hi Guys!!

I have been obsessed with skincare these days!!Didn't use cosmetics much :D
Anks of Novice makeup asked for d swatches of these lipsticks so I got out of hibernation to post this :)

I got the Tester pack of the 6 lipsticks as I don usually buy darker shades and this was d rgt opportunity to try different colors without wasting money and also they are easier to carry around :)


 From L-R:Natural Brown,Choco Temptation,Maroon Magic,Brown Dazzle,Sassy Pink,Plum Shine
From L-R: Sassy Pink,Plum Shine,Maroon magic,Brown Dazzle,Natural Brown,Choco Temptation

From L-R : Sassy Pink,Plum Shine,Maroon Magic,Brown Dazzle

From L-R : Marron Magic,Brown Dazzle,Natural Brown,Choco temptation



There are totally 6 lipsticks that are Bullet-Sized.each is of 1.6 g and costs 120 I believe!!

Natural brown is a light brown shade but goes takes a pinkish brown color on my lips!
Choco Temptation is a orangy brown shade with obvious golden shimmers!
Maroon Magic  is a deep maroon shade as the name suggests!!
Brown Dazzle is the one with the most shimmery texture!It is a proper brown shade with golden shimmers!!
Sassy Pink is a milky cool toned pink color that is slightly difficult for me to carry :( I tone it down with a beige or brown gloss!!
Plum Shine is a pretty light plum shade!

Of the lot,Plum Shine and Natural Brown are my Favourites :)


PROS:
  • The shades without shimmers have a light Glossy Finish!!
  • U have Browns,Pinks and Plums in this new range :)Everyone will find atleast one of their choice!!But I wish they had red instead of brown dazzle.
  • They do not dry my lips!!U can skip ur lipbalm with this if u do not suffer from chapped lips :)
  • They do not accentuate the fine lines!
  • I can forego lip gloss with d shimmer ones :D
  • The shimmers stay put for sometime before they start their journey :around the face in half an hour ;)
  • Extremely travel friendly:U can carry it in ur purse for any occasion!
  • The staying power is nearly 3 hrs in my case!!The darker shades(maroon and plum) leave a light stain after that..its nt much but I like the way they look natural
  • All the shades are decently pigmented!!
  • The individual  cost 250 nearly which is quite reasonable :)
CONS:
  •  The packaging of the tester pack is very normal.But the actual lipsticks come in a black packaging!!
  • Availability is an issue!!I had to wait long !!
  • u can't exactly call these creamy but that's what makes them not bleed!!
  • The shimmers could stay put for a longer time :\
  • Could be more balmy.
I am really happy that I got this :D
Phew!!Such a long post :P
