Another lip crayon..no its not a recent one..as you all know..but I had not tried it before..it comes in 5-6 shades but only these 4 are available everywhere.
Comes in a normal swivel up packaging…and has matching outer body to the shades..
Its super glossy and balmy as the name goes..has a slight fruity smell.
Pomegranate Punch is the brightest and juiciest of all four shades..its a reddish pink..with some fine shimmer.
It stays on for 2-3 hours..the shine fades in an hour or so..but the color stays..and leaves a tint behind.
Here is it on me..
Pros:
1. Nice packaging,
2. Easy to carry around.
3. Super glossy and moisturising..no need of a lip gloss or lip balm with this.
4. Quite pigmented.
5. Stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a tint.
6. Most reasonably priced lip crayon in the market.
Cons:
1. I would have loved more shades in this.
2. I wish it was sans shimmer.
Overall, its a nice buy..value for money..this shade Pomegranate Punch is the brightest and would look good on all skin tones..Recommend it !

Cosmetic-love.com Haul and Review
What the Company claims: Welcome to Cosmetic-Love Korean beauty online store! Cosmetic Love strive to provide our customers with the wide range of Korean cosmetic products from various Korea brands such as Laneige, Etude House, Tony Moly, Missha, Skinfood, TheFaceShop etc, and we are planning to exapnd our line-up of other beauty brands as well.

We are continually updating products to meet our customer needs, so check back our store often to see New-Arrival.
I had placed an order an month back..I know it took super long 🙁 And also I was charged $4 customs duty on it 🙁 But it was nicely packed with bubble wrap and cute star shaped sponges..but they have free shipping all over the world..if you need a tracking number, then $2.5 and if you choose express shipping, then $22.
I like the fact that they have free shipping..all international sites who have free shipping are my favorites ! 😀 Though we cannot be spared from customs :/ I wish they spared ‘Beauty Bloggers’ with a special section created in the Act…here talks my inner CA :p
I had ordered for Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips talk in JOR 203..which is a super bright and vivid orange..and Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer..which makes eye shadows pop like anything and stays put whole day without any creasing !
I am loving both of these !! My current favorites and a lot used these days…
Here is the lipstick on me..
It is super glossy and hydrating..more like a lip gloss..but does not stay long..max 2-3 hours..I don’t mind reapplying..and I am in love with the shade..
I highly recommend this site..also coz they have free shipping…and currently they have discounts on many items..plus they also have free combo offers.. Have you shopped from Cosmetic-love.com ? Have you tried Etude House products ? P.S: Product sent by brand but it has not affected my review.
Sleek MakeUP Matte Me Rioja Red, Gloss Me Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush Review, Swatches I had mentioned about Sleek MakeUP’s Matte Me and Gloss Me HERE

Matte Me Shades: Fandango Purple, Brink Pink, Rioja Red, Party Pink, Petal & Birthday Suit
Gloss Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each Matte Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each
Today I am reviewing the shades 438 Kiss & Tell and 439 Cranberry Crush in Gloss Me and 433 Rioja Red in Matte Me
Comes in a regular square transparent gloss packaging with a black cap..has a doe foot applicator.
Kiss & Tell is bright orangey blue toned red with silver bluish shimmer and Cranberry Crush is a sheerer watermelon pink with silver shimmer again.
Rioja Red is a bright blue toned true red.
Gloss Me are loaded with shimmer and sticky in formula..though they stay well and are good in pigmentation..I would say these are like any other normal glosses..nothing too different..
On the other hand, Matte Me are amazing..completely matte but yet non drying, full opaque coverage..and stays well..but ya they do flake a little with eating and drinking and needs to be reapplied…and one has to apply neatly with a brush and work before it sets which is about in a few minutes..
Swatches..my mehendi is peeping in :p
T-B: Rioja Red, Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush
Here is it on me..
L-R: Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush, Rioja Red
I made the mistake of not using a lip brush for Matte Me..and sorry for the uneven application..I would suggest using a lip brush for Matte Me for a neat, even and proper application..it takes some time to set..but once set is completely matte.
Overall I loved the Matte Me..and found the Gloss Me pretty ok..good in pigmentation and staying power..I would have preferred less stickiness and shimmer though..

Maybelline Bold Matte Colorsensational Lipstick Mat 2 Review, Swatches First of all thank you so much for all the wishes on this post and on facebook and mails..I am overwhelmed 🙂 Thanks a lot.. Coming to the review of the newly launched Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick.. What the Company claims: Hydrating matte with honey nectar
o Moisturising agents like rosa canina oil and jojoba oil
o Powderless matte pigments ensure true vivid shades
5 trendy vibrant shades in a brilliant matte texture
It comes in the normal silver Colorsensational packaging but with a sheer red cap..has a fruity watermelon smell..
But first thing to be noticed is, its not matte ! I am not aware why these are claimed to be matter..these are quite creamy and glossy..super pigmentation..these can be builded to a super opaque color..and I love the staying power !! It stays for almost 5-6 hours and then leaves behind a nice coral pink stain.
Mat 2 is a reddish peachy coral..but not neonish or in your face..I love how it makes my teeth looks white and brightens my whole face instantly..I can easily skip a lip balm too with this..coz its quite moisturising..
Here is it on me..please excuse me dry lips..I have to speak whole day since I teach and its taking a toll on me of late :/
Pros:
1. Super pigmented.
2. Comes in 5 bright shades.
3. Moisturising…I do see jojoba oil, etc on the ingredients list..
4. Has a glossy finish which settles for a slightly semi matte one later.
5. Love the staying power..stays for 5-6 hours and leaves behind a pretty stain.
6. I like how the color flatters my skin tone and brightens my face and smile..a perfect reddish coral.
7. Economical.
Cons:
1. Claimed as matte..its not matte.
2. Not transfer proof.
3. I would have preferred different colored caps to distinguish the shades and also giving them names would have been better instead of mat1, mat2, etc
Overall I love them as lipsticks and totally love the shade..if it were not claimed as matte..then it would have been better. Checking out the red and pink too.
If you like bright, long staying yet moisturising lipsticks, you will surely love these. But if you were expecting these to be matte, then skip it.

Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Color Peony Goal Review, Swatches
I had mentionedabout the new Lakme 9 to 5 Office Stylist Range HERE
Peony Goal is one of the lipsticks from this new range..
What the Company claims: Lakmé 9 to 5 range consists of a wide collection for daily office wear with subtle shades that require no touch-ups through the day, providing an impeccably styled look and allowing a hassle-free transition from the desk to the office party.
Combines amazing comfort with staying power that keeps you looking fresh for hours. With a long-wearing comfort technology. Offers a creamy color with Colorfix technology. Ensures 10 hours of intense crème color.
MRP: Rs.400/- for 3.6g\
Shades Available:
15 shades bifurcated into reds & browns and pinks & mauves..
I quite love the rose gold packaging..chic case with slight rounded edges..and it clasps tight..I love the names too..ending with Goal, Slip, Break, Drill, Management, Play,etc..all corporate language..
Peony Goal is a mauve pink brown with gold shimmer..an everyday shade..quite close to MLBB..it has a soft matte finish..these glide on quite smoothly..and are super soft..
As these are meant for work..this shade is perfect for work wear..plus the soft matte finish is also quite formal..it has a sweet smell which goes away in a minute or so..
This shade stays on for 3-4 hours..I am a little disappointed with the staying power..since its the 9 to 5 range and is supposed to stay longer..but the deeper shades in this range seem to stay longer and leave behind a stain..
Here is how it looks on me..
Pros:
1. Soft matte finish…quite smooth in texture.
2. Chic packaging.
3. Economical
4. 15 shades to choose from.
5. Travel friendly..it clasps tight.
6. Though its matte..its not drying or uncomfortable on lips.
Cons:
1. I prefer it sans the shimmer.
2. Expected it to stay longer.
Overall I would say I loved the finish of these and the packaging too..I like this shade but sans the shimmer..I would surely check out other shades in this range..Do recommend it..especially for work wear..I would like to check out Pink Slip or Tea Break..

I had mentioned about the launch of Lakme Limited Edition Absolute Pop Tints Collection HERE. The colors are all summery and fresh and with a neon touch..
What the Company claims: Lakme Absolute Lip Tints include 8 pop shades. These thick creamy pencils deliver rich color and unbelievable shine in just a stroke.
Tip:
This is the best collection for the ones who want to look extra special this summer.
Why to choose Lakmé Absolute Lip Tints?
Rich color delivery
Unique 8 Pop Shades
Limited edition collection
It comes in a black swivel packaging with a plastic cap…and limited edition engraved on it..and the shade name behind..I did not like the packaging much..the plastic cap is fragile..and cannot even identify the shades if you have more..
Its quite creamy..but not too balmy kinds..thick enough..but needs a few swipes to cover up pigmented lips well. It does not have any particular smell or taste..but does not glide well on dry lips..
It takes some time to settle on the lips..and within half an hour or so..its like settled well all over with a glossy sheen..the glossiness goes away in a hour or so..but lips feel moisturised and comfortable..and the stain stays for 3-4 hours..
Pink Sorbet is a light wearable candy pink with some shimmer..not too neonish or bright..its a fun summery shade..the shimmer is hardly visible..it looks frosty in the hand swatch but quiet wearable on lips..I quite like the shade..
Here is it on me..sorry for the flash..it got too dark by the time I clicked this pic :/
Pros:
1. Quite pigmented.
2. Comfortable on lips.
3. Stain stays for 3-4 hours..after the glossiness and color starts fading.
4. All bright pinks and oranges..neon colors..good for the young crowd.
5. Does not bleed.
6. Travel friendly..it does not mess up in the bag..as its not too balmy and soft kinds.
7. Settles to a smoother finish after half an hour..
Cons:
1. Does not glide well on dry lips.
2. Expensive..if the colors were targeted for the young crowd..the pricing should have been lower too..Revlon is 200 bucks lesser and offers 0.7g more.
3. I expected it to stay even longer.
4. Packaging is not good.
5. Limited Edition.
Overall these are nice..pigmented and glossy and has fun summery shades..but I would have definitely preferred a lesser price..and these are limited edition..so if you have a favorite shade..go grab it now..I am not sure if I would repurchase..but you can have one in your collection..
