MRP- Rs. 225/- for 4.2 g
I have reviewed the shade 57P Naked Pink before..here
These used to come in square packaging before and were priced at Rs. 200/- but even at Rs. 225/- these offer quite a good range of shades, great pigmentation and quite good staying power. Worth it..
These have an matching bottom to the shades…go creamy enough and have a somewhat matte finish..stay on for a good 4-5 hours and leave behind a tint..the only issue is all shades leave behind a pink stain on the lips. That is the only con with it.
Bare is a muted peachy brown..perfect MLBB i.e My Lips But Better shade for me..I love this shade after my favorite Maybelline My Mahagony. This shade can be worn anytime anywhere..it is just perfect with everything..I love my MLBB shades..bear with me 😀
Here is the swatch..
Forgot to include a lip swatch..
Read the whole review for Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks here
Overall I love Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks..these sure are a value for money….and I totally recommend the ‘Bare’ shade..I am sure it would be an MLBB shade for many..They have come up with five new shades..like Obsessed Orange, Thrilling Pink, Peach Crush, Etc…I am eyeing the Thrilling Pink 😉

02- Lavender
03- Peach Blossom
04- First lady
05- Neon Dahlia
06- Azalea

13- Black Cherry
15- Gold Rum
16- Mocha
18- Pink Chocolate
Ingredients:
It comes in a black case packaging with a transparent bottom..where the actual shade of the lipstick can be seen. I loved the fact that the majority of the shades are from the pink family. The case is quite sturdy and nice..
The lipsticks are super creamy and pigmented..these have to be handled with care and stored in a cool place in summers if you live in a place with hot climate as these would tend to melt..these are so pigmented that you need just a swipe of color to cover the lips..and the staying power is amazing too..I am quite surprised by these..as they score well in all departments..texture, creaminess, pigmentation, staying power..
04 First Lady is a bright carrot pink shade..now I was expecting it to be a lighter shade of pink but it is quite bright..I am wondering how much bright the other shades like Neon Dahilia and Ultra Pink would be 😀 Though the shade in one swipe can be an everyday shade for me..it does light up the whole face in 2 swipes or more..I quite love the shade and how it brightens up the face..and this shade is so versatile that it would look good on all complexions..whether you are fair or medium or dusky..you cannot go wrong with this shade.
Here it is on me..
Pros:
1. I love the texture..these are super creamy.
2. Quite liked the black sturdy packaging with the color of the shade at the bottom.
3. Very pigmented.
4. Most of the shades are from the pink family..there is one pink for each one of you..of your choice..if you trying to find some particular shade of pink..you should check out this range.
5. This shade instantly brightens up the face.
6. The staying power is amazing. It stays for a good 4-5 hours and leaves a pretty pink tint behind.
7. This shade would suit all skin tones.
Cons:
1. To be stored well..especially in summers.
2. Faces is not available everywhere and though its available online..sometimes it is important to check out the swatches on our own.
3. The names do not match the shades..Fiery Orange is actually a pink shade and French Rose is an orange.
No other cons with this..I surely recommend this shade to everyone and you would not go wrong with this shade. The range is worth checking out for bright shades..especially pinks.

EXPERT TIPS:

I am not sure if these new shades are available in India yet..I have not seen them anywhere yet..
MRP: Rs.580/- for 3.7g
The shade I am reviewing is 075 Peach..its a true nude peach shade with some fine shimmer…which is not much visible but gives glossy effect to the lips.
Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks have this nice packaging..a rectangular shaped black case with criss cross patterns and the color of the shade it is on top. It has Revlon embossed on the lipstick bullet.
These are very creamy and moisturising and you can easily skip a lip balm with it. They have a slightly weird smell..but not too strong or bothering.
Now I had heard mixed reviews about the shade Peach…coz it washes out some..so I was not too sure..but I loved the shade so much that I could not resist getting it and I am glad I did…it does not wash me out at all..instead it gives a soft peachy sheen to lips..and in one swipe its quite a MLBB for me !
But as its a light shade..it would not cover pigmentation if you have pigmented lips..with one swipe it gives a soft peachy sheen and its quite buildable…and with 2-3 swipes it gives you perfect peachy lips. But the staying power of these is ok..it stays for 2-3 hours without eating or drinking..and lesser with it..but leaves a tint behind.
And how it looks on me…
Pros:
1. Very creamy and moisturising.
2. These are quite buildable…and darker shades are more pigmented.
3. I love the Peach shade..and would surely recommend it if you are around NC 35-37 or below…gives a nice peachy sheen to lips.
4. This does not settle into fine lines.
5. I liked the black case and packaging.
6. These are quite sturdy and easy to carry around.
7. Has a shelf life of 3 years.
8. Feels very light on lips..you would not even feel you are wearing a lipstick.
Cons:
1. Expensive for a lipstick but though these are very good in quality.
2. This shade would not show up on pigmented lips and would wash out people above NC 40.
3. 3.7g of quantity offered is quite less compared to other lipsticks which are normally 4 or 4.2g
Overall I quite like them and love the Peach shade in particular. I am eyeing Blush next..;)

Garnier Anti Dark Circles Tinted Eye Roll On Review
What the Company claims: Dark circles not only make you look tired but also darken your eye contour. Garnier introduces Light Anti Dark Circles 2-in-1 Tinted Eye Roll-on, the 1st refreshing roll-on with dual anti dark circles action.
Instant covering action: Concentrated in mineral pigments, it covers dark circles in a flash. Giving you soft, natural looking finish for long lasting wear.
Anti dark circle hydrating care: Enriched with caffeine and pure lemon essence, known for its brightening properties, it combines a hydrating formula and the draining effect of a massage to effectively reduce dark circles and reveal a radiant and fresh look.
Proven efficacy: Dark circles are perfectly covered and appear reduced. Eye contour is refreshed and brighter.
Its unique formula blends a moisturising cream with selected active ingredients.
Pure Lemon Essence & Vitamin C to clarify & smoothen skin.
Long Dan extract to help slow down skin darkening.
Glycerin to moisturise and comfort the skin.
UVA & UVB’s to protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
Directions: Apply Garnier Anti Dark Circles Eye Roll-on to the eye contour area in light circular massaging movements. The liquid will be applied automatically via the roller ball. If necessary, use your fingertips to spread evenly.
Recommended usage: Twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.
MRP: Rs. 199/- for 15ml
Its available in two shades..Medium and Fair in India..
Medium has yellow undertones whereas Fair has a little pink undertones.
It has this steel roller ball tip which feels very cooling on application. Its easy to spread but needs to be blended in with the ring finger and fast before it dries..its in a liquid form which dries super fast..so if you have dry skin you might need an eye cream coz this is not creamy and moisturising types.
Mehak used this as an eye primer in emergency and I used it for concealing a few spots when I did not have a concealer handy and this did work ! But either ways for the under eyes or overall it gives a very light coverage..so if you have heavy dark circles it might not work for you.

Blended
I find this very handy for daily use..and when you are in a hurry…it stays a decent 4-5 hours normally but lesser in more humid climate.
Pros:
1. Easy to use and handy.
2. Though there are just two shades available Medium shade would suit most of the Indian skin tones.
3. Economical.
4. Travel friendly.
5. Gives a nice cooling effect on application.
6. It does conceal lightly and give brighter eyes but not if you have heavy dark circles.
Cons:
1. May feel a little drying.
2. Light coverage.
3. It would not reduce dark circles as claimed.
Overall I quite liked it and found it handy enough coz I am most of the time in a hurry 😀
