Lipstick Love : Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Soft Rose Review and Swatches!

Like I always mention I keep the best things to the last ;) 

So I am reviewing the third (hopefully not the last) lipstick that I own from the Revlon Colorburst range :) U can read the reviews of the other 2 lipsticks here and here. I am not gonna talk about the packaging.

• Revlon Colorburst lipstick in Soft Rose is the prettiest lipstick shade that I have come across! It is beautiful blend of pink and red that will look reddish pink on ur pretty lips ;)
• The texture is creamy and u need to exfoliate ur lips before application.Glides like butter on the lips.

• Pigementation is okayish. If u have pigemented lips u will need 2 to 3 swipes.
• The finish is semi matte.
• Does not settle into fine lines.

• The lipstick is neither moisturizing nor drying despite being creamy in texture. I definitely need a lip balm underneath.
• The lasting power is low.Stayed on for only 2 hrs after which it vanished without a trace :(
• The price point is a major con. Rs.620/- for 3.7 g. 
• This shade will look lovely on fair/medium skin :)

VERDICT:

It is such a gorgeous shade! I think 2013 is going to lucky for me in terms of makeup ;) Soft rose paired Inglot Coral pink blush (32) can brighten anyone's day :)

Lipstick Love : Colorbar True Gloss In Vintage Rose Review and Swatches!

There are times when you just want to throw out ur n*de lipsticks and fill ur case with only brights! U suddenly feel confident and order neon shades that u have never given a glance before.Then after trying them on u cower " I can't even wear this at home!" .Even if that's not ur story it surely is mine ;) But I have resolved to wear brights this year. They are instant perk ups and bring life to face without requiring any other makeup.Not even Kajal.All you need is a bright shade that doesn't look gaudy on you and some confidence to shrug off the glances/stares !

I do own fuchsias but I really craved neon at the end of last year so I got this along with 2 Inglot brights :P

• Colorbar True gloss is priced at Rs.495 a tube. U can get it at a lower rate at medplusbeauty.
• The packaging consists of a cylindrical tube which looks and feels sophisticated.

• The applicator is similar to that of the Maybelline Colorsensational glosses.Spongy and easy to apply even in the lip corners.

• The color is a bright neony hot pink!It looks stunning both on the tube and the lips.

• The texture is smooth.Glides like honey but exfoliate ur lips before application as it tends to accentuate the flaky areas.

•  It settles into a glossy finish and is moisturizing.I did not require a lip balm underneath.
• Has the same weird smell of  the Colorbar Velvet Matte lipsticks :(

True shade!

•  The pigmentation is a shot through sky! Extremely pigmented, these are liquid lipsticks functioning as undercover glosses ;)

• U need to be very prudent while applying these.U can easily go overboard. So I would suggest applying little and rubbing ur lips together and repeating till u get the desired coverage/shade.
• Does not bleed.That is such a relief with colors like these.

In case u don't prefer glossy finish for colors as bright as this u can always go for a matte finish.A shade that is relatively closer to this shade in my vanity is the Colorbar velvet matte lipstick in Oh my Magenta :) It is little toned down and will suit dusky and dark skin too :)

 

 U can also tone the color down by applying the gloss as a stain using ur fingers ;) Works great with all bright shades :)

Colorbar Velvete Matte Rum Raisin lipstick Review and Swatches!

VERDICT:

This is more of a fair-medium skin kind of shade.I am loving this color and finish.Eyeing the Pink Stain gloss next ;) Wish Colorbar brings n*dish and toned down shades into the range!

Lipstick Love : Revlon Colorburst In Peach Review!!

Am obsessed with Peaches and Oranges these days:D And I wanted to try out the Colorburst range from Revlon!

It comes in a classic black packaging with Revlon printed across the center!The lipstick as u can c also contains an engraving of REVLON!!I find it pretty chic :D 


It is a medium peach shade that is devoid of pink or brown undertones!Totally peachish :D
The only drawback is that it is sheer and u need to swipe it thrice (for me) to get the actual color on my lips!
This lipstick is worth d money(580/-) and I am thinking of Soft rose and Blush :D Is more suited for fair complexions.
Its creamier than Lakme lip love and doesn't require a lipbalm underneath! And definitely doesn't emphasize fine lines :)



It works great when paired with soft pink blushes ;) or if u want to go all peach then I recommend the Faces Burnt Sienna blush !

Lipstick Love:ColorBar Nectar Lipstick Review and Swatches!

This was my first lipstick .I asked the SA for the Irish rose shade. But she asked me the shade number which I didn’t know.She picked up the nectar shade and told me it would be my perfect MLBB shade.It looked orangish in the misleading shop lights. Someone should invent lights that produce the same effects as day light :| On reaching home,I discovered that it is a dusty pink shade.

I top it with a gloss as it washes me out sometimes.It is creamy and costed me Rs.150.But Colorbar has raised its prices :@
Packaged in a square transparent plastic box.
Has a creamy texture and is well pigmented :)
Finish is glossy and creamy. 
It lasts maximum 3 hrs on me due to its texture and u might need a lipliner underneath.
I skip lip balm with this.

Overall it is a everyday wear pink shade which will suit fair skintones to the T but may wash u out if u possess medium skin tone.
