Colorbar Creme Touch lipstick in Tangerino Review and Swatches!

I had been craving cream lipsticks when I remembered I had not tried any from the Colorbar Creme Touch range which is supposed to creamier than their soft touch range. I was not exactly blown by their velvet matte range as the lipsticks were not dry lips friendly but the Creme Touch range makes up for it :) Creamy lipsticks that melt over the lips in eclectic shades to provide a luscious finish ?? I am game!!

• The Colorbar Creme touch lipsticks comes in a classy silver tube with a lavender ring in the center. I like the mirror like packaging except it is susceptible to finger prints. Also if u own multiple shades it becomes difficult to identify.
• Being priced at Rs.400/- it is definitely not a budget lipstick. 
• The shade Tangerino is a warm orange shade. While Obsessed Orange from the velvet matte range is yellow based orange and Inglot 37 is a red based orange, Tangerino is a warmer,brighter version of Obsessed orange and will not wash out any skin color.

 

 

• This is a shade that is better suited to beach than the office :) If u wanna try the orange lips sported by Kareena, Tangerino is a great option!
  

• Glides like butter over lips.Has an extremely creamy texture and dry lips would love love love this!
• Due to its immense creamy texture it tends to bleed even under mildly humid conditions. 

 

• Does not settle into my fine lines thou I do not have too many.
• Has the typical agarbatti smell of the Colorbar lip products :( I am not into it.Not at all.
• The finish is glossy for an hr after which it settles into a creamy matte finish. Not drying at all.But I do swipe my balm after it sets.
• The staying power is 3.5-4 hours without food. Leaves being an orangish tint after food. The other shade Candy rose vanishes after food. 

 

 

 

VERDICT :

I know it is the time of monsoons but who cares ;) Orange lipstick can brighten up any season and this lipstick is a must have if u r in dire need of a warm creamy orange shade :)

Maybelline High Shine gloss in Captivating Coral Review and swatches!

Yes another gloss for those of u looking to flaunt the summer makeup trend ;)

"The one that has sheen and will make u preen
It is the gloss in tangerine "

The Maybelline High shine gloss comes in a transparent tube with nothing printed on it. Nope.Zilch and that makes it boring. They are priced at 350 bucks a piece.
But on the flip side it helps in easier identification of yours truly ;)


U can check out the gloss shades at  http://maybelline.co.in/products/lips/lip_gloss/color_sensational.html

 

The tube has a bent applicator that helps in better placement of the gloss especially in the corners.
The shade number and name is mentioned at the end of the tube.
The tube is not heavy *hello Lotus Pure Stay* and definitely travel friendly if u do not mind scratches on the tube of course!
Who named thou Coral?? Cuz u r Tangerine! Pure warm tangerine with no hints of pink! 
If u someone scared of oranges as I am scared of ghosts then U can take ur baby steps into the big bad world of orange with this gloss. U do have the option of Revlon Tutti fruiti but it is damn expensive for a lip balm!

 

The gloss has a creamy texture and absolutely non sticky. Great for dry lips. But the texture makes it lil uneven on the lips.I would suggest applying small amount with the wand and even-ing it out with ur fingers.
And the good news for office/college makeup junkies is that it is devoid of shimmers which makes it apt for daily wear :) 
The gloss is hydrating as long as it stays on the lips and gives an illusion of plump lips :)
Most importantly it does not weigh down the lips.

Pigmentation is sheer. it is buildable but has serious limitations. It will not hide major discolorations.
The staying power was where it lost its star.It hardly stayed for more than 1.5 hours and with food it completely disappears. 

U can pair the gloss with a peach blush like MUA blusher in 4/5 or Faces burnt Sienna and brown rimmed eyes :)

VERDICT :

I am liking the gloss for its light weight and creamy texture. U got a lot of pretty shades to choose from. I might pick up gleaming grenadine next :) 
Would rate it 4.3 out of 5 ( -0.7 cuz I find it annoying to do touch ups so often hmph!)

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm Stain in Rendezvous Review and Swatches!

I have this friend lets call her T cuz tat's her profession ;) She is crazy about Orange in Makeup! Has an enviable collection of blushers and lipsticks in shades of orange ( mayb eyeliners too! ). And whenever we talk about makeup *which is more than often* I start craving for orange.So the good news?? Her Orange obsession has totally rubbed on me and u will see Orange Love on the blog ;) Bad news?? My wallet is giving me a cold stare!

Revlon has launched 10 shades in the Just bitten Kissable balm stain range. All the shades are just gorgeous!

I got the shade Rendezvous along with the Sweetheart Valentine. U can read my review here :
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart Valentine Review and Swatches! 

• These look like cute chubby crayons with a twist able mechanism. 
• Priced at 600/- bucks.Pretty expensive but I needed these for office wear!
• The shade is warm orange but looks coral  on me. Weird! But this color is totally wearable. If u r sum1 afraid of orange lipsticks u can give this a whirl :)

• It has a minty fragrance and feels cool on the lips on application which disappears within a min or so.
• Has a balmy texture and does not pull or tag over the lips.
• U need well exfoliated and moisturized lips to ensure the stain does not settle into fine lines.
• The balm like feel vanishes after half an hr or so.Lips did not feel dry for 4 hrs and the emphasis on dry flakes/peels was evident only towards the end of the day. 

 

•  Pigmentation is sheer but due to being light weight u can build up the intensity :) 
• Bleeding does not occur. 
• Staying power is 5-6 hours on my lips. It does fade a little after meals on the inner part but it does not look patchy :)

VERDICT :
 I am liking these so much that I could hug them if that was possible. But Revlon and their pricing keep me baffled. U ought to check out this range if u r on the lookout for long wear lip colors that don't make people go " Ahh So u r wearing a lipstick! Is it healthy to wear one??"  U can get a pink stain and fool people into thinking u got natural pink pout  :D 

P.S. : T beware! I am gonna raid ur home soon :)
