Lipstick Love : Maybelline Lip Polish in Glam 9 Review and Swatches!!

I have become more of a clothes (and shoes) convert these days. So the little makeup I purchase, I make sure are the ones I would use during the week.

Maybelline Lip Polishes. I could safely call them one of the best products by the brand. Priced : 499 Rs.

The tube is ultra cute with the inside looking like an inverted lipstick tube but is actually a gloss. As mentioned in the Glam 6 review, lip polishes are a cross between gloss and lipstick. 

The shade Glam 9 is a bubblegum pink. Confession time. I hate Boomer bubblegums. The smell gives me headache :O But the shade is pretty. A little cool toned bubblegum pink with slight silver shimmers that will look great on fair/medium skin but may wash out dusky skin.

The petal applicator is really soft but the application goes streaky. Really uneven. So I apply a little on my lips and smoothen it out with fingers for even finish.

It feels very comfortable and moisturizing on the lips. Lip balm is not a definite need with this. Soft and cushiony lips :)

Gets easily transferred. 

The glossiness stays for 30 mins or so. The color vanishes after 2 hours without eating/drinking. But with food, it will disappear immediately.

Overall, I love the lip polish for its texture, wearable color and moisturizing feel.

Thumbs up from my side :)

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 :)

Blush Lust : Inglot Powder Blush In No. 27 Swatches and review!

If being obsessed about blushes was a crime I would be serving life sentence :) 

Inglot is one of the best cosmetic corporate according to makeup junkies :) They provide quality makeup and have the famous freedom system where u can create ur own palette for lipsticks/blushes/eyeshadows :)
U can get the 6g blush in a pot for Rs.720/- or get the refill that houses the same amount for Rs.350/-. But the hitch is, in the stores it is mandatory for u to buy the palette which is a lil expensive.So it is wiser to order it online from www.majorbrands.in .

Packaging:
The blush is housed in a metal pan placed inside a plastic container.I wouldn't call it secure but if u r scrupulous unlike me u won't need the palette.U can also get the Z-Palette.Find details at this link on wiseshe :) Or better get a magnetic strip and fix it to ur old geometry box ;) 

Color:
The Inglot face blush no.27 is a rosy pink shade with lil peach thrown in.Has a satin finish to it.I couldn't locate the shimmers in the lush until I took piccys for this post :) The shimmers are not visible even under the sun and give a subtle flushed glow.U can totally wear this to the office/college.

 I have no idea y it shows reddish and warmer in the snaps :\ So I am attaching my haul pic which shows the true color of the blush :)

Swatch:

Texture:
The texture of the blush is soft and smooth.better than any other blush that I own(mayb nt kryolan).It has some fallout problems cuz of that.So I suggest u  to press ur brush gently on the surface instead of swirling it.Blending is easy :)

Pigmentation:  
Well pigmented.Kryolan fairs better here.But this one is apropos for beginners :) U might need more swipes if u r on the dusky side.

Longevity: 
It sticks to my cheeks fervently for about 5 hours after which it starts fading without patchiness ;) 


Extras:
I have done a comparison of it with Colorbar Cosmic Rose which is another fav everyday blush :) Check out d results urself  ;)

VERDICT:
I can see this blush working on fair to dusky skin :) This one is definitely a keeper for everyday wear.I have ditched my cream blushes this winter in its favour :P

Lipstick Love: StreetWear Color Rich Lipcolor In Pink Pie Swatches and Review!!

Am going to review the other lipstick that I purchased during my chutku haul :)
It is the Streetwear Color rich lipclor in Pink Pie!I have already reviewed the Pink Satin Lipstick from this range here :)

I am a great fan of J.Lo's nude lips and always sigh when I watch The Wedding Planner..wish I could nick her lipcolors!
So I am foreva on the lukout of nude and beige colors.
 I went to SS and to the Streetwear counter and found so many lipsticks under the color rich range..The H & G in Pondy Bazaar had pathetic color selection.only 5 or 6 colors and all were damn dark and so un-wearable :S
But in SS the colors were so pretty and I couldn't resist picking up one even though I hate the packaging!

The same packaging as that of Pink satin..of course!Very flimsy and the lipstick tends to melt in summer!U cant carry it..u will end up throwing ur pretty handbag ;)\

  

Pink pie is a pretty pink with peachy undertones :) Swatches show it as more pinkish but I verified again while typing out this post..yup it definitely has peach in it ;) Does not feel smooth on the lips and has a semi matte finish.But at the price this will do.

Very wearable color but it bleeds!Compliments fair and dusky skin tones and gives great coverage even on pigmented lips :) Lasts for max 3 hours without food.

Get this one for the beautiful shade if u r ready to accept its cons :)

Lipstick Love: Lakme Lip Love In Rose Kissed Swatches and Review!

Lakme is obsessed with rose  and kiss :P First it was the Cheek Artist from the Fantasy Collection "Kiss of Rose" (which was a gr8 blush :) ) And now the Rose Kissed Lipstick from their Lip Love range!


It is a warm pink color tat luks darker on the tube!

Luks darker in d swatch

The lipstick spells glam in the packaging.I adore the "LOVE" inscribed on the tube as well as the lipstick bullet :D :P

It is so creamy..just glides over my lips :D

 And It can be worn on an everyday basis with a light hand and when a little darkened is perfect for night outs!! 

Pigmentation is high.The swatch is of single swipe.

Finish is creamy and looks glossy for half an hr or so.

The Color lasts on me for 4 hrs without any food.but fades in case I take food to a light almost MLBB rose shade :D

 And am not gonna comment on the *inflation* of Lakme Products!!

            Highly Recommend this shade as it will suit most Indian skin tones!!
