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.

Fuchsia Dose:Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Oh My Magenta Review and Swatches!

I got Oh My Magenta together with Rum Raisin .It is also from the Velvet Matte range of Colorbar which provides good quality and Long lasting (mostly) lipsticks for affordable price :) And the range is huge with browns,mauve,maroons,pinks,fuchsia,red,orange and many more!
So moving on to this particular shade:

PACKAGING: The packaging is same as that of Rum Raisin with a cylindrical case with one end providing the color of the lipstick.Pretty handy and sturdy :) U can read the review of Rum Raisin here :)

TEXTURE: The lipstick is not creamy since it is a matte one but does not pose any problem in applying..glides smoothly over my lips.But mind u since this is matte u shouldn't dare to use it with flaky lips.Exfoliate and moisturize ur lips before touching this 1!Like other velvet matte lipsticks this one has a peculiar incense smell which lasts as long as u wear it :\ A major drawback here.

PIGMENTATION: It is super pigmented but not as strong as Rum Raisin.It covers the discoloration in a single swipe.

COLOR: It is a vivid pink/Fuchsia shade that requires u to carry it with confidence ;) Or u could tone it down with a dab of tissue for a subtle natural looking pink tint.

LASTING POWER:It lasts for 51/2-6 hrs but u do need to apply lipbalm over it occasionally to prevent drying of lips.

Pros:

• Long lasting
• Great range
• Affordable
• Pretty shade

Cons:

• Being a matte tends to dry up and settle into fine lines.
• Horrible smell
• Difficult to remove

RATING: 3.7 out of 5.

RECO: Yes if u can looking to add a bright shade to ur vanity and do not have problems with matte lipsticks :)
