Hello everyone, I've already reviewed Essence Stay With Me Longlasting Lipgloss in shade "#06 - Berry Me " HERE , so won't go into a detailed review of these two shades as almost everything about the gloss, applicator, fragrance and consistency is same in all the three glosses I have from this range. However, as far as the shade and finish is concerned, there is slight difference that I noticed so here it goes: Swatches: Essence Stay with me Long lasting Lipglosses (L-R) - #2 My favourite Milk shake, #03 - Candy Bar: Essence Stay with me Longlasting Lipgloss - #02 - My favourite Milk shake As the name suggests, it is very light nude peach lip gloss and gives milky finish to the lips. It is a great lipgloss to wear with a smokey eye makeup look. I wore it in THIS makeup tutorial as well. It is very hydrating and moisturizing to my lips and stays put for around 2-3 hours even when I am drinking or eating in between. The finish is slightly transl...

L'Oreal Paris Color Accord Intense Riche Lipstick - Fever Brown #291 Price: INR 785 for 4.7 grams My experience with this lipstick If you are looking for a dark and rich colored drama lipstick, then this can be the perfect choice for you. The lipstick has a brownish plum shade and is loaded with micro-fine golden shimmers. In some way, it reminds me a lot of the Avon Ultra Moisture Gold Rich Lipstick - Golden Wine that I reviewed HERE a while back; just that this one is a bit brownish and more plum than the Avon one. The lipstick has a smooth texture and glides on well on my lips. The shade is super opaque and gives a nice rich color on one swipe. You can see visible golden shimmers right away. It has super glossy finish and looks beautiful on application. The shade though has a tendency to give you more "matured" look, however I feel it can look wonderful with Indian ethnic wears . Since the lipstick is quite in itself enough to make a statement, I usually ...

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick #371 - Pink Passion Luxuriously Moisturising Lipstick Colour Riche combines luxurious colour with an exceptional moisturising formula of Vitamin E & Omega 3 for the richest indulgence your lips will ever feel. Price: INR 825/- for 4.7 grams My experience with this lipstick: Pink passion is a true neon coral pink color that can brighten up any dull day. I absolutely love its finish which is glossy, and looks good for any day time makeup look. The lipstick somehow reminds me of my Lancome L'Absolue Nu Voile De Rose lipstick as well, because of the similar fragrance. This lipstick smells of roses and gives a fresh feeling every time I apply it. The texture is super smooth and glides easily on my lips. My lips are slightly pigmented around the corners, and because of that sometimes such pink-coral lipsticks don't work well for me. However, this lipstick does give an opaque finish and covers my pigmentation quite well...

Ultime Pro Longwear Matte lipsticks are new launches by Faces cosmetics. They are launched in some 10 shades and I have tried this particular shade of lipstick  - Flirty Pink from the range 2-3 times. Here goes the review: Faces Ultime Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick Price: INR 599/- for 2.5 grams Shade being Reviewed: #06 - Flirty Pink My experience with this lipstick: I am a pink lover and this particular shade from the lipstick completely stole my heart for being that "perfect" pink. However, it is a bit of neonish pink shade. The lipstick comes in a sleek packaging with a sturdy cap and looks quite classy. It has a thin bullet which is quite long. The weird thing is that a bit of the bullet always stays up on the lipstick holder, so you need to be careful in closing the cap, otherwise you might spoil the lipstick and create a mess. Coming to the texture of the lipstick, it is quite smooth. The lipstick glides on my lips like a butter and gives an even, matte a...

Avon Ultra Moisture Gold Rich Lipstick - Golden Wine The only lipstick with real 24K gold. Precious glittering flecks give lips an exquisite shimmer and opulent shine. Luxuriously creamy color to smooth, shape and define. . Price: At the time of purchase it was INR 469/- My experience with this lipstick: The first thing attracted me most towards this lipstick was its gorgeous deep wine shade. Next came the shimmers and then the fact that this was from Avon and claims to contain real gold particles in it. You can definitely feel the presence of golden shimmers (whether real gold or not!) the moment you take the lipstick out. It is loaded with visible golden shimmer particles. Because of these shimmers, the application also doesn't feel super smooth. It feels slightly gritty on the lips. However, once the lipstick is on, you don't feel much. It feels extremely light on lips and all you get to have is gorgeous lips sporting a beautiful deep wine shade that sparkles! ...

Avon Simply Pretty Colorbliss Lipstick claim to give you full color by giving your lips extra moisturizing care. Shade being reviewed : Amethyst Price: INR 199/- My experience with this lipstick: This lipstick was a gift from one of my mom's friend and that was how I got introduced to my first Avon lipstick. This particular lipstick from the brand is a gorgeous lilac-pink shade with luster finish , so if you are a fan of glossy finish lipsticks you'd definitely love it a lot. It is quite nice cool toned purplish pink color and looks amazing on my skintone. Personally, I feel it'd look good on all ladies with medium to fair skin tone . Since, weather is already showing the onset of spring season, this shade would give a particular fresh and "springy" look to your face. The lipstick feels quite light on wear and doesn't bleed at all, however the minute shimmer it has to bring the glossy finish may get left on your lips and around after a couple ...

Hi friends, It’s been a long time since I posted my last review here. There are tonnes of them kept in draft and I just couldn't find time to do some justice with the photographs because of one thing or other. Today, I am glad that I could make this review go live here at least, and I hope to continue with the trend now :). I am usually more of a lipstick person than lipgloss, and most of the lipsticks that I own have slightly glossy finish which I prefer. My lips tend to get dry very soon so I generally stay away from matte lipsticks, even though I love the whole matte finish on my lips. I got this particular lipstick from Chambor as a random buy, just to have something coral in my collection. Little did I know, I’d fall in love with the whole matte lips concept so much with this beauty, that I’d start hunting matte lipsticks only going forward.  Check out more details below: Chambor powder matte lipstick  - Coral Reef Price for the quan...

MAC Matte Lipstick -VIVA GLAM III  is described as a foxy brown plum shade. Price: $16.50 My experience with this lipstick I usually prefer wearing light pinks and peaches on my lips on everyday basis. However, I do love to glam up my look for special occasions and this particular lipstick

Diana of London Absolute Moisture Intense Color Pay Off Lip Liner - 09 Raspberry Sorbet I love lip liners for how well they define your lips and help them look full and plump. I usually rely on lip liners to enhance the staying power of my lipsticks that have a tendency to wear off in an hour. Lip liners not only increase the staying power of such lipsticks manifolds, but also help lips look more defined and beautiful. Since, I have loads of pink lipsticks; this particular lip liner from Diana of London  has worked excellently with almost all of them (except for nude-pink shades). It is a gorgeous deep pink lip liner that perfectly defines its name - Raspberry Sorbet. Check out more details below: Diana of London  Absolute Moisture Intense Color Pay Off Soft Gliding Lip Liner  - 09 RaspberrySorbet Perfect wear lip liner ideal to softly contour around the lips  Enriched with moisturizing shea butter  Excellent coverage provides smoo...

I came across Astor brand while roaming around the cosmetics counters at Galleria Mall located near the railway station in Stuttgart. Since, I wanted to try new brands at that time; this brand drew my attention at once. Usually whenever I am in a mood to experiment things, I end up trying a brand's lipstick first. I feel lipsticks are usually the safest way to start with a new brand, especially when you know nothing about it. I tried many shades there and zeroed on this one, but unfortunately this shade was out of stock there. I was a bit disappointed, but then I went to another mall nearby (Muller this time), and voila I got the same shade there. I must say that after trying this lipstick, I should have gone back and bought a couple of more stuffs from this brand, because I find this lipstick just ah-ma-zing! Check out more details below: About this lipstick: Color can never be too rich! Pamper your lips with rich color treatment. This long-wearing Very Intense ...
