MRP: Rs.525/- for 3.3g

It comes in a long slender packaging with the lower bottom half matching the shade..the packaging is cute..so is the bullet shape..
Thats the whole qty |
It smells of cherries..which I loved..super pigmented..it stays all day long..these are obviously matte in texture and a little drying..but not uncomfortable on lips..
Infinitely Fuchsia is a cool toned bright fuchsia pink..a super pretty color..it would light up your face..it has very fine shimmer which are not that visible..would look good on all skin tones..duskier skin tones actually carry bright shades well..
Pros:
1. Cute packaging.
2. Stays on for a good 5-6 hours..even the swatch did not budge from the hand…but not 14 hours though..
3. Very pigmented.
4. Feels light on the lips
5. 16 shades to choose from..there are pretty pinks, reds and corals.
6. I like the cherry smell..
7. Does not bleed or stain or smear at all.
Cons:
1. Needs a lip balm and well moisturised lips.
2. Qty of 3.3g is quite less.
Overall I quite loved this..especially the shade….its such a pretty bright pink..I am not a fan of matte formula coz of dry lips..but this does not look too dry or uncomfy..surely recommended..
I love this shade..and Eternal Rose and Keep Me Coral

MRP: Rs.199/- for 7.5ml

It is the most economical lip gloss offering the most qty..just like the Go Chic Lipsticks..see review HERE
I am loving the Go Chic range..

These are quite sheer and not at all sticky..but very moisturising..can replace lip balms too..
Sheer Coral is a sheer true peachy coral..no shimmer or sparkle..almost colorless on lips..stays for one-two hours without eating or drinking.
Only issue is it would not cover pigmented lips as they are quite sheer and almost colorless with just a hint of color and glossiness..
Pros:
1. Super moisturising…coz of the castor oil and beeswax.
2. Very economical.
3. Non sticky.
4. 15 shades to choose from.
5. Easy to use packaging..and travel friendly.
Cons:
1. Very sheer..would not cover pigmented lips.
