Lotus Pure Colors: Carnation

Hello..
As promised in my previous post http://thefairersexblog.blogspot.in/2013/01/haul-1.html here  I am back with a review on one of the 3 lipsticks. All the 3 lipsticks that I bought are soft/ regular/ office ear shades. This is my 1st lotus lipstick from any range. This was totally an impulsive buy. I was just doing my round of window shopping :P and suddenly decided to have a look at the Lotus counter. I told them to show me colors from the lower range first. They were mostly showing too bright or dull colors and insisted me to see the higher range for more color options. But suddenly this color caught my fancy and I ended up buying.




Price: Rs. 245 for 4.2 g.



About the shade:

The shade in the bullet looks like redish orange. But on lips it looks much lighter. The shade is a beautiful mixture of orange and red. We bengalis usually call this shade as "doodh a alta" i.e the color we get when we mix red and white together. As I said when you look at the shade in the bullet it might look a bit dark for office but when applied on the lips it looks perfect. It's a bit sheer on the lips but is buildable. Overall this shade can be worn easily on a day as well as evening outing.



Texture:
The texture of the lipstick is very soft and creamy. When I came back home and tried the colorbar and this lipstick back to back, I could clearly understand the difference in the texture. The texture of this has a glossy finish. It being creamy, hence it is also very moisturising. A lip balm underneath the lipstick is not necessary unless you have chapped lips.



Staying Power:
As the lipstick is creamy enough, it is not really a long stay color. On the 1st day, I wore the lipstick with a lip liner underneath, it lasted on me for like 3 hrs with just tea in between. I wore it in the morning at around 9 o'clock and when I checked at around 1 pm it was like completely gone leaving behind a light hint.     



Goods:
  • Lovely Shade
  • Affordable
  • Availability
  • Moisturising



Not So Goods:
  • Staying Power
  • Tend to bleed





Take Care... Bye... And see you soon...

Faces Go Chic Lipstick : Twig

I am basically a lipgloss person (this would have been my statement some 4 to 5 months back). But things have turned upside down in the past few months. I don't really know what made me turn into a lippie person. Maybe I've realised that the variation in the shade of lipsticks are a lot, lot more than lipglosses and also the staying power is also more compared to glosses. So today I'll be reviewing one of my new shade.



Price: Rs. 199 for 4.5gms.
I think its a very affordable for such a quality and quantity.

Ingredients:
Phenyl Trimethicone, Octyl Palmitate, Capric/Caprylic Triglyceride, White Soft Paraffin, Shea Butter, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Ozokerite Wax, Performalene PL Polymer, Candelilla Wax, Carnauba Wax, BHA , Propyl Paraben, Castor Oil, Mica, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Octyl Methoxy Cinnamate , Benzophenone-3 , Vit-E-Acetate , Perfume, Colors.



My Experience:
The packaging of the lipstick is very attractive. It has a full shiny black plastic body with a silver ring in the middle in which faces is written. The lipstick opens and closes with a click and is very much travel friendly as there are no chances of the cap opening in the bag.



Now coming to the texture, I'll say it's not really creamy and moisturising as the Maybelline Moisture Extreme ones but neither is it hard. It glides on easily and it has the right texture. People with chapped and dry lips might need a balm underneath but otherwise it can be directly applied on the lips. It doesn't make my lips dry.

Pigmentation of the lipstick is good. One swipe is enough for a day look/office look.But the staying power is not that much good. It stays on my lips with full glory for around 1.5 - 2 hours but then gradually fades.



Now coming to the toughest part, the description of the color. Well I am very bad in describing colors but still, the color is sort of brownish coral. It appears almost to be brown in the bullet, but when applied it turns out to be a nice coralish brown :P ( sorry for that one.. I really don't have anyother way to describe the color). I am wearing this color almost every alternative day to office. Am currently obsessed with the shade. Moreover, the quality and the price of the lipstick is a total value for money.




Goods:
  • Texture just perfect.
  • Price
  • Nice shade (my love for the color is overflowing)
  • Trendy packaging
  • Good pigmentation.

Bads:
  • Staying power ( Hope it was a bit more)
  • No spf.

Rating:
  • 4.5 out of 5

Maybelline Color Sensational Moisture Extreme Lipcolor: Bronze Orange

I am not much of a Lipcolor person. I always like to put on a little gloss and get going. But recently I am on the hunt for good and economic natural shades lipcolors. One thing I made sure that as am not a regular lipstick person, I wouldn't invest a lot of money on a single lipcolor. From the launch of Maybelline's Color Sentational range, I've been hearing some good reviews about the products. So here's my 1st Maybelline Color Sensational Moisture Extreme Lipcolor in Bronze Orange shade.

ABOUT THE SHADE BRONZE ORANGE
 



BRONZE ORANGE is a nice color with orange undertone. It is not a deep color. It’s a very pretty color. It does not contain any shimmer. At the beginning as I said I was generally in the lookout for a perfect day look lip color and I must say Bronze Orange did qualify my criteria. I just put 1 swipe of the lip color and top it up with a lip gloss.


TEXTURE OF THE LIP COLOR




Texture of the lipstick is very smooth. It glides on the lips effortlessly. Just 1 swipe is enough for the day look. The color and intensity can be built up easily with 2 to 3 swipes.







MY TAKE

  • Am loving  it :)




PROS OF THE LIP COLOR

  • Smooth
  • Good pigmented
  • Contains SPF 15
  • Doesn't bleed


CONS OF THE LIP COLOR

  • Staying power is not more than 3 hours
