Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Bronze Orange Review and Swatches!

Every time I review a lip product I gasp at the fact that I own so many lipsticks and glosses. There was a time when I had only 5/6 lipsticks and a gloss. Only1 gloss! Freakingly low count :P Now my mom says I could make a shop with my collection. True that but I would hate parting with them ;)


I know this is winter time and u gals would be eagerly filling ur lips with plums and berries. Since these shades look severe on me I still do orange mouth :)

Dry pout with a fetish for wearable oranges? Bronze orange shade from the Maybelline Moisture extreme range will be ur HG I assure :)

The Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipsticks come in the same drab orangy case which is sturdy and travel friendly. 

The shade Bronze Orange is a peachy orange that will beautifully set off the warmth of Indian skin. It has a creamy finish and no shimmers. The name is misleading. 

The pigmentation is great. All I need is a single swipe. Pigmented lips will find no issues with this shade. 

As mentioned, the lipstick is very creamy and feels like butter on application. Does not enhance fine lines and makes lips look plump and luscious :) But since it is creamy, U need to keep it in the fridge to avoid melting mishaps.

I read in some blogs that the lipsticks tended to attract fungus but I own Coral Pink and Buff from the range and did not face such issues.

The lasting power is less hardly 2 hours (due to it being creamy). 

Will bleed under humid conditions.

VERDICT :

One of the must haves in the vanity cases of the makeup inclined :) And no I am not getting paid by Maybelline for raving. I like social service :P

Blush Lust: MUA Powder Blusher in Shade 4 Review and Swatches!

I know u guys must be bored of all the Pink Blush posts happening on my blog. But I am here to make u aware of the pros and cons of makeup products right ;) So I got to do this :)  Plus I am a believer of  " A gal can have never makeup,clothes,shoes.." well u get d drift!

• MUA blusher in shade 4 has the ditto packaging of the other 1 pound powder blushers.Cute and tiny but fragile. Try not to drop it!!
• The shade 4 is a peachy pink blush with the peach tone being more prominent.
• U can consider it a summery everyday wear blush ;)

• It consists of extremely subtle shimmers which are hardly visible but lend a slight highlighting effect.
• The texture is powdery but the fallout is lesser compared to the shade 5.
• The finish is satin due to the presence of the shimmers.

• Pigmentation wise it is less pigmented than shade 5. I would give it 2 out of 5 ;) 
• Priced at 1 pound/85 bucks a piece these stand for a good deal.
• Personally I feel this would fair,medium and dusky skin due to the prominence of peach :) 
• Lasting power was between 3-4 hours.

VERDICT:

For 1 pound these blushers are worth a place in ur vanity! And the pigmentation level is just right for beginners to work with :)   I recommend u own atleast 1 of these! I wanted d shade 2 (which is a pink :P ) but it was unavailable during ordering. Will try getting my hands on it ;)

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.

Eyeliner Watch : Elle 18 Sparklers Swatches and Review!

Come Let me show you how ignorance kills you :) I was so impressed by the graphic design of the elle 18 sparklers that I got all the five without even swatching and waiting for reviews. And result ?? I am stuck with 5 chubby crayon pencils.

• They cost me 85 bucks a pop.
• They look like crayon pencils.Reminds me of NYX!
• These eyeliners are soft,creamy and glide on easily.No tugging/pulling.
• And because of the creamy texture they hardly last an hour or 2. That too I should be careful not to touch/rub them.
• Pigmentation varies with each color.
• All the shades give a pearly finish albeit the silver spark which is very shimmery.
• Now to the shades:
• Purple Pataka : Violet-pink shade.Average pigmentation.need 2 swipes to show up on my eyes
• Silver Spark: Stark white shade with white OTT shimmers .Pathetic pigmentation.looks odd on the eyes.cannot be even used as a highlighter.
• Green Grenade: Forest green shade.Average pigmentation.need 2 swipes.
• Blue Blast: Beautiful navy blue shade. It is very pretty and has average pigmentation.
• Gun Powder: My favorite. Metallic grey shade.I love this color.But I cannot find similar shade in other brands.Wish it had more staying power :( 
• If u guys know a dupe of this shade please notify me in the comments :)

 VERDICT:

If u are into funky non lasting shades and would rather get 5 colors instead of 2 then these are made for u :)

Elle 18 Lipstick in Luscious Lilac Review and Swatches!

When I was new to makeup, I read in some blogs that every girl should own a lipstick in every color family.I didn't know any better and set about getting a mauvish shade.I saw this in a store, bought it and went to another store and got the Mulberry splash from the same brand. 2 shades that are same albeit the shimmer and do not suit me at all.What was I thinking?? Yes the old me definitely needs ur sympathy :)

U can check out the review of  Mulberry Splash here :)

 I am doing this review cuz this shade might suit some of u :)

• Luscious Lilac is a purplish/violety shade with golden shimmers.
• The shimmers are very fine and give a glossy sheen to the lips.They are definitely not frosty.
• The texture is very soft and glides on smoothly.
• It does not dry ur lips.U won't even need a lip balm with this unless u have very dry lips.D reason has been mentioned as the moisturising core :the white part in the middle.If u have a bright/dark shade, u can tone it down by mixing it with the core :) 
• Feels light on the lips.
• The pigmentation is low but not as low as the Cinnamon one.U need 3 or 4 swipes to cover the lip discoloration.
• It is prone to melting.Mine has turned into a gooey mess.So keep it in the refrigerator if U want to save it from macabre ;)
•  Using a lip brush to apply this works better than direct application.
• This particular shade does not suit me.Makes me look like a patient admitted for poisoning!
• Just wish it had lil pink in it to suit me.

VERDICT:
Pocket friendly option for the college going makeup junkies :) U can experiment with shades from this range without causing serious harm to ur wallet.Shades like Pomegranate pie,cinnamon and roasty red are great options :)

Blush lust: Inglot Powder Blush in AMC 58 Review and Swatches!

I like saving the best always for the last like I eat my cucumbers last in a salad ;) Now u should connect d ... (dots) and realize I am asserting that Inglot AMC blush in 58 is my favorite :D I like the color red for blushes and wanted to get the Inglot blush no.63 after seeing swatches online.But majorbrands does not offer that shade :( So I  had to settle for this blush.

• The packaging is d same.Blush in a metal pan placed inside a plastic case.U need a palette if u r not prudent.
• Retails for Rs. 350/- for 6g.Now that is economical thou I would never hit pan with this :P
• The color is a beautiful reddish pink.

Single swipe!

• As it is AMC, the texture is softer than the normal range blushes.And there is substantial fall out.I try not to swirl my brush on the blush as I do with my other blushes.Swirling the brush makes me feel like a youtube guru :P
• Pigmentation wise it rocks.One swipe is great for that MCBB effect.I have found reddish pink blush works out to be more natural than plain pink ones on me.
• It has absolutely no shimmers in it :) yay for tat!
• Staying power is nearly 5 hrs without any foundation underneath.
• This would work well across most skin tones.
• I never used to wear blush on an everyday basis.But nowadays Blush has become a must wear sort of thing.It instantly perks up my face and keeps me looking fresh day long :)  

VERDICT:
I am in love with the blush so much so I wear it even at home!My mum gives me weird glances but that doesn't matter ;) Please go and get this one for me :D 


Comment below and let me know if u liked this blush :)

Lipstick Love: Bourjois Levres Contour Lip pencil in Peche Voluptueuse Review and Swatches!

I am not a fan of lip pencils courtesy my dry lips.But I can assure you the bourjois levres contour lip pencils are the bomb!They are soft and glide like honey baby!

Lip pencils are usually used to arrest the bleeding of lipsticks.They hold the lip color in place along with providing a better appearence.Actresses use the layering technique whereby they layer multiple lip products of similar/exact shades so even when the lipstick wears off they have color on their lips :)

Coming back to this lip pencil I got it because they didn't have Faces french rose lipstick/maybelline bronze orange/Colorbar obsessed orange/maybelline orange lipbalm/Lipice in orange anywhere :( The Bourjois SA asked me to try this and I liked it :)

Price: Rs.250/-

• It is a solid wooden pencil.The color of the pencil is same as that of the lip color :) The eye pencils from this range are also made of wood.Simple and classy but environment :'(

• The color is a peachy orange with lil red undertones :)
• The texture is smooth..it does not tug and glides easily over lips.
• Forms a matte finish.
• Is super pigmented will cover the discolorations on the lips.
• Tends to enhance the flaky part of lips so be sure to exfoliate your lips beforehand.
• Dry lips definitely need a lipbalm underneath.
• Stays put for 4 hours solid after which it starts fading.
• Helps prevent lipstick from traveling from north to south :)
• More suited to fair/medium skin.Might look harsh on deeper skin tones.

Verdict:
A peach shade that can brighten up ur face and day ;) A budget product u need to own atleast one of these :)
