MRP: Rs.675/- for 8ml
To Start with, let me tell you these are not stains, I am not sure why they are named as stains :/ These are more like a pigmented liquid lip balm or a lip lacquer to be precise.
I like the rectangular packaging and the colors outside according to the shades like red or pink. Also the country names, loved them!
The applicator is slanted and small but perfect for application. Its very runny in texture as you can see here in the swatch, so be careful when applying. It gives a wet, glossy, opaque color. Its completely non sticky and very light weight.
I absolutely loved the pigmentation! These are like so pigmented, the most in the lip lacquer category I would say. These stay for around 3 hours without eating or drinking, but if you eat, it would vanish completely 😀 It does not leave any stain. But lips are moisturized and you do not feel the need of a lip balm even in these winters, when using this. They fade away gradually and evenly.
They do get on the teeth though, even after wiping off the excess with your finger in between lips, you would need to do it 2-3 times,since these tend to run on the lips :/ Maybe since its a deeper color.
Shanghai Sizzle is a true warm red, not very bright or in your face. A subtle, wearable orange red.
T- Heavy Swatch, B- Lightly Spread
Here is it on me..
Overall, I would say these are like nice pigmented lip gloss/lip lacquer. Would not call them a lip stain. These are pigmented and glossy, stay for around 3 hours and very very light on the lips. Lips remain moisturized too. At 675 bucks, these are slightly expensive but 8ml is a good quantity. I would love to try Parisian Passion and India Intrigue.

Have you checked out Luxola.com ? What brands are you eyeing ?
We had to buy skincare and makeup products which we use on an everyday basis i.e our ‘daily’ ‘face’ stuff within the budget of Rs.5000/-
And since we had to buy only from Jabong and from the brands available on the site, it added up to the challenge 🙂
This is the perfect kit for you, if you are in college and surviving on pocket money and don’t have big bucks to spend on luxury products. Spending big bucks is not even required actually, you can create a nice kit for yourself within this budget.
For brides to be, this also makes a part of my Bridal Diaries. If you are someone who was never into skincare and makeup, then this kit would work for you too. Or if you want to buy stuff for your trousseau within the budget of Rs.5000/-
I have linked products to their reviews which I have already reviewed on my blog before or have given my 2 cents here on products I have used, but not reviewed yet.
So here we go..
1. Ponds White beauty Naturals Spot Less lightening Cream- Rs199 for 50g
Reason: Super light in texture with no greasiness. Has camellia (Green Tea) leaf extract, niacinmide and tocopheryl acetate which help in fading spots and regeneration of skin cells. Added bonus: SPF (titanium dioxide aluminum hydroxide stearic acid). This can be your perfect affordable daily moisturizer.
2. VICHY Normaderm 3-In-1 Cleanser – Rs.450/- for 50ml
Reason: A unique combination of Salicylic acid, Glycolic acid and 25% Clay with a soothing agent. Use it as a cleanser/face wash or a scrub or apply a thin layer as a mask. The blend of salicylic acid and clay is perfect for oily skin and prevents from breakouts. Glycolic acid helps in mild exfoliation. I won’t recommend it using everyday. For everyday use, a mild cleanser like the Auravedic Saffron Almond one we selected, is good. But its perfect to use for a weekly scrub/face pack. It dries quickly too, not taking too much of your time. If you use it weekly, its going to last long and turns economical for its multiple uses.
4. L’Oreal Paris Uv Perfect Aqua Essence Sunscreen Moisturiser- Rs.475/- fro 30ml (Review HERE)
Reason: A Sunscreen with good SPF protection is a must. Whether you are in your teens or in your 30’s, you need to protect your skin from the sun’s rays. L’Oreal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence has SPF 30 PA+++ UVB UVA protection with a PPD of 15.5. It also has Advanced Mexoryl XL Filters (only found in L’Oreal Paris sunscreens- this and Vichy Capital Soleil which is on the expensive side) that protect against broad spectrum UVA/UVB rays, Adenosine that repairs deep skin damage and fights wrinkles, and Vitamin E that helps fight against free radicals and external stress. It also hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Best part: It somewhat protects skin from tanning too.
5. Forest Essentials Facial Tonic Pure Rose Water Facial Mist- Rs.575 for 100ml
Reason: Natural toner. 100% Steam Distilled Rose Water. Alcohol based toners rip the moisture from the skin. One should go for alcohol free toners as much as possible. It cools, soothes and moisturizes the skin. You can also carry it along in your bag. (You need one in the Mumbai heat especially in summers!)
6.Biotique Bio Almond Oil Soothing Face Eye Make Up Cleanser – Rs.149 for 120 Ml
Reason: It’s a blend of almond, castor, sunflower and few other oils. Oils are always the best makeup remover one can use. It melts off toughest of your waterproof mascara. No stinging or burning. One of the pretty decent and affordable makeup removers in the market.
Reason: One of the deepest and most pigmented rich black kajals in India right now. It stays whole day and hardly smudges. I recommend this to everyone all the time. Does’nt even hurt the pocket at 175. Best budget buy for college girls too. I guess most of us love our kajal and lip balms and swear by it everyday whether you in college or working. This is definitely a must have!
Reason: Who has the time and patience to apply falsies and remove them everyday ?! But we still want those fluttery, long lashes right ? Well, look no further. Maybelline Falsies Mascara is the answer. With 2 coats of this, you get a false lash effect! I mean it. Do try it for yourself. And at 425 if you get killer long lashes, it does not hurt, right ? :p
Reason : No reasons are enough for this baby. Its my favourite liner ever. Pigmented. Stays long. Perfect stiff tip. And the hypersharp tip gives the thinnest most defined lines to more thicker wings. It also does not dry up quickly and works as good as new for a long long time.
10. Maybelline Color Sensational Mirrored Mauve High Shine Lip Gloss- Rs.350 for 5ml (Review HERE and HERE)
Reason: Pigmented, High shine, Affordable, Good qty, Non Shimmery, Prettiest Nude Mauve shade ever. This is bang on for your everyday wear whether for work or a day out with your girlfriends.
Reason: If you have to include one affordable blush in your kit, it has to be Maybelline Cheeky Glow. Its matte, smooth, pigmented and long staying. 7g of quantity would last for a long time. Fresh Coral is a warm coral pink and gives that ‘just out of the gym’ healthy pink flush. One of the best budget blushes in India.
12. Street Wear Color Rich Perfection Compact Powder- Rs.160 for 7g
Reason: Cute packaging again. Provides medium coverage and controls oil and shine. Thoughtful hygienic packaging, the separator in between prevents the foam applicator from getting dirty. No more expectations at this price and quantity. Again a perfect budget everyday compact.
13. Street Wear Color Rich 11-Pink Passion Lipstick- Rs.180 for 4.2g
Reason : Street Wear has nailed it with this latest Color Rich Range and these Ultra Moist lipsticks are the best in the collection. Cute packaging. Semi matte texture, Long staying power, Economical price and quantity. A perfect bright pink shade to perk up your evenings or weekends. Psstt: It’s a dupe of MAC Flat Out Fabulous 😀 I am sure you want this in your kit! Plus it won’t pinch your pocket.
14. Ponds White Beauty Blemish Balm Cream- Rs.125/- for 18G
Reason: A BB Cream that also acts as a moisturizer and sunscreen and gives amazing coverage! Gimme! I use it everyday. Its one of my favourite BB creams out of the lot in the market right now. It has Vitamin B3, Vitamin E and Allantoin which helps against pigmentation and heals the old scars/spots faster. Has SPF30PA++. The shade suits me perfectly and the coverage is medium, more than any other BB creams. Stays put the whole day. The silicones in it make it work as an eye shadow primer too!! Beat that. And all for this price is fantastic.
15. & 16. Auravedic Revitalizing Face Care- Rs.325 for a combo of 2 products (Pulpy Saffron Almond Face wash and Pure Aloe Vera Gel) (Review HERE and HERE)
Reason: Both the products separately cost you a little more, so buying a combo means savings 😉 The Radiance by Nature is one of the best face washes I have personally tried and recommend. Its made up of natural ingredients and a blend of essential oils. No SLS or parabens. Chemical and color free. Cleanses skin well leaving no dryness or stretchiness. There is a neem and tea tree variant for oily skin and a rose and saffron variant for dry skin. And 50g lasts really long. Total value for money.
Pure Aloe Vera Gel is packed with green tea and pomegranate extracts and a blend of essential oils again like lemon, avocado, grapeseed, olive. Its super cooling and gel like in texture. Smells amazing. Keep it in the fridge in the summers and apply it whenever your skin feels dehydrated or thirsty. I am sure you will love this refreshing cold aloe gel in the harsh summers. No preservatives and chemicals. Also recommended to be used as a hair styling/shaving gel. I personally use it post waxing/threading coz it instantly soothes and reduces the redness on the skin. Quite a multi tasker this is!
17. Auravedic Almond & Grapeseed Night Repair Cream- Rs.350 for 100g
Reason: Skin cells are the most active and repair itself during the night time. The whole regeneration of new skin cells takes place during night. A rich, heavy night cream with some essential nutrients is a must have. It nourishes your skin inside out and also helps delay signs of ageing. This rich night cream has almond butter, grapefruit oil and few other essential oils. Auravedic has no SLS,parabens or chemicals. And you need just a tiny bit, so 100g would last you really long. But investing in a good night cream is a must. It is as important as a sunscreen.
18. Star’s Cosmetics Bronze-2 Pressed Eye Shadow Rs.195/- for 1.66G
Reason: Even if you are not a daily eyeshadow person, you need one bronze/gold shadow in your kit. Indian weddings are when you will need it the most. Or just smoke it out with a black kohl base for a night out. Instant glam!
Overall View: I think it was an interesting challenge. I included everything necessary from skin care to makeup used in day to day life. (and covering weekends/occasions too) A total of 18 products,and also saved on some bucks (Though 27 :D)
Skin care: Face wash, Toner ( Facial Mist), Moisturizer, Sunscreen, Lip Balm, Makeup Remover, Night Cream, 3 in 1 (Cleanser, Scrub, Mask) for your weekly pampering, Pure Aloe Vera Gel for shaving/post waxing,etc.
I have not included nail paints, shower gel,shampoo, conditioner, hair serum/oils coz it was ‘daily face’. You need to add those too which will be another 750 bucks approximately.
I hope you liked my kit. If you did, I would love for you to vote for me HERE. Just click on the heart under my name ‘Bhumika Thakkar’ and it will turn red 🙂 Or you can tweet to @elleindia with the hashtag #EBA2014. Thanks in advance.

I am reviewing the shades Red Delight and Desert Rose today.
At first, many would be confused about the name which says ‘Gloss Addict’ and it is actually a lipstick. The range is called Gloss Addicts and the Lipsticks are a part of this range. These are basically high shine glossy pigmented lipsticks.
They come in a pretty silver packaging with a see through cap. The base is strong enough, so no fear of breakage as seen in a few lipsticks recently.
It is super glossy and moisturizing. Well pigmented and 2 strokes give you a full opaque color. It stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a soft tint and reapplying is easy too. You can apply it on the go, unlike a few matte lipsticks which need to be applied properly with patience.
Only issue is does not stay that long and might not cover pigmented lips completely especially the lighter shades like Desert Rose here.
L- Red Delight, R- Desert Rose,
Red Delight is a pinkish red shade with some fine shimmer. This shade would work on all skin tones. And it is one easy to carry red. If you are just starting with reds and don’t want to jump on the bold reds, this lipstick is for you. It brightens the face instantly.
U- Desert Rose, D- Red Delight
Desert Rose is a light rosy pink shade. Would suit medium to fair skin tones. It gives a fresh look to the face and is a good shade for daily wear. But not meant for pigmented lips, as won’t show up much.
And here are these on moi..
L- Red Delight, R- Desert Rose
Pros:
1. Super glossy.
2. Pigmented.
3. Very hydrating.
4. Comes in 15 rich shades and has all pinks, nudes, reds, corals,etc
5. Travel friendly.
6. Easy to use on the go.
Cons:
1. Expensive and the qty is less too.
2. Lighter shades won’t show up on pigmented lips.
Overall, I would say these are good for someone who loves glossy lipsticks. I do. Also these are so easy to use, you can just carry one along and apply it in the car,cab,auto, etc. Very pigmented and hydrating and come in an array of 15 pretty,fresh,wearable shades.
My other favorites are Berry Rose, Plum Perfect (perfect plummy pink) and Orange Candy (a very wearable coral orange).

I guess Demure and Provocateur are not launched in India.
Both these Lacquer Balms and the Matte Balms launched together..see the review and swatches of the Matte Balms HERE.
Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balms come in a beautiful glossy metallic packaging. These are glosses in the form of lip crayons..super glossy but still pigmented.
The composition of three butters Shea, Mango and Coconut make these super hydrating and moisturising..
They are quiet light in texture..you do not feel like you have applied anything on lips..feels like a lip balm. These are quiet pigmented..the swatches are just one swipe..and after the glossines fades away..the color stays for more hours..especially the deeper colors like Vivacious here.
These have the same peppermint smell like in Kissable Balm Stains and Matte Balms. All of the shades have super fine minute shimmer which is not even visible unless seen very very closely..but this helps giving the shades that glossiness and high shine.
L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious
145 Ingenue is a perfect MLBB shade for me..a nude brown..its an everyday shade.
130 Tease is a beautiful coral orange..it looks amazing on warm skin tone..my favorite of the 3..also wore it HERE.
120 Vivacious is a pretty rosy pink (None of those fuchsias or blue undertone pinks)
Here are the swatches..
T-B: Vivacious, Tease, Ingenue
And here are they on moi..
L-R: Ingenue, Tease, Vivacious
And an FOTD with Vivacious..
Pros:
1. Super glossy.
2. High pigmentation.
3. Moisturising.
4. Deeper colors stay longer.
5. Like the glossy packaging.
6. All 8 shades are quiet nice..there is one for everyone.
7. Feels quiet light on lips.
Cons:
1. Little expensive.
2. Not transfer proof.
3. Lighter colors don’t stay that longer.
Overall, I would say I like the light texture and glossines..and the shades too..all three and in fact all 8 are pretty and nice..and perfect for all occasions..the one like Ingenue works for your everyday wear, formal wear too..Tease is a must have according to me..my favorite of the three..it looks beautiful on warm skin tones like ours..Vivacious is a clean, pretty rosy pink..one of the natural pinks..that would look good on everyone..I recommend all three ! In fact Flirtatious, a nice deeper pink and Enticing, a pretty red, are also nice shades from this collection. If you are a red lover..or want to try reds..you can try something glossy and light like Enticing.
