With soothing Vitamin E for extra moisture.

MRP: Rs.199/- for 7.5ml

Available in 15 shades..

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..

Here it is on me..

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.

Body Shop Lily Cole Collection Eyeliner, Hi Shine Lip Treatment Review, Swatches

I had shared about the Body Shop Lily Cole Collection HERE..reviewing the liquid eyeliner and Hi Shine Lip Treatment today..and the two way mirror..

Lily Cole – Hi Shine Lip Treatment

What the Company claims: You can never have too much lip gloss, especially when it’s as super-glossy and super-delicious as this. Our wet-look gloss gives maximum shine and has a sweet flavour too. They’re limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch them while you can.

High gloss
Moisturising
Dermatologically tested
Sweet flavour
Limited edition

MRP: Rs. 400/- for 6ml

Shades Available are Go Pink, Go Naked, Go Wild and Go Play

I am reviewing Go Play which is a peachy nude shade..these are transparent glosses with shimmer..with just a hint of color..these would not cover pigmented lips..

Has a sweet fruity smell which I like..and is little sticky in texture..which actually makes it long staying..these are quite moisturising as claimed and high on shine too ! More so for topping up lipsticks if you like glossy, shiny pout..

It has a built in slanted applicator which makes it easy to apply..and is quite travel friendly too..the only issue would be removing the product at the end..

Lily Cole Collection Liquid Eyeliner 20 Ink Up Violet

What the Company claims: Our liquid eyeliner goes violet. Easy to control, the felt-tipped applicator puts colour exactly where you want it.It’s limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch it while you can.

Easy to apply
Smudge-resistant
Suitable for contact-lens wearers
Ophthalmologically tested
Dermatologically tested
Limited edition

MRP: Rs.795/- for 3ml

Its a felt tip liquid eyeliner..the felt tip makes it easy to control and use..dries to a semi matte finish..it sure is smudge proof and stays put the whole day..

Ink Up Violet is a true bluish violet shade..though I like the shade, it sure is pretty expensive for a liquid eyeliner..of 3ml qty !

Here are the swatches..

The two way pink mirror is quite cute. Great for grooming on the go. Two mirrors – one magnifies. A perfect handy mirror for your bag. Surely recommend it..

MRP: Rs. 595/-

Faces Glam On Lip Gloss Cupcake Review, Swatches



What the Company claims: Get the color and vanilla flavour on your lips!

Enriched with Vitamin E, it is engrossed with high moisturizing emollient that apart from adding diva factor to your personality nurtures your lips. It is easy to apply and leaves a trail of high shine lip gloss, so no need to add on shine. Moreover it leaves your lips fragrant with a slight flavour of vanilla, which all the way makes them more kissable.

MRP: Rs. 449/- for 5.6ml

Shades Available:

  • Bare It All Pin
  • Charity
  • Chilled Cherry
  • Coral Fusion
  • Crystal Clear
  • Cupcake
  • Icicles
  • Innocence
  • Luxe
  • Maple Fudge
  • Tickled Pink

I am reviewing the shade 051 Cupcake..its a sheer baby pink gloss with some silver shimmer..it has a sweet vanilla smell..which I loved..but no taste..

Its a long sleek normal lip gloss packaging..and has a slanted applicator..its non sticky and quite moisturising…stays on for 2-3 hours which is good enough for a lip gloss..
Here is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. Has a nice vanilla smell.
2. Quite moisturising.
3. Many shades to choose from.
4. Stays for a good 2-3 hours.
5. Non sticky.
6. 5.6 ml is a huge quantity for a lip gloss.

Cons:

1. Expensive. I know Revlon Colorburst are priced the same..but those are much more pigmented and better.
2. Availability is an issue.

Overall these are decent lip glosses..if they were priced at around 300-350..it would have been better. I quite like the vanilla smell…the shade Cupcake is sheer baby pink..and can be used to top up all lipsticks..and can even be used alone..perfect to be paired with smokey eyes.

I am reviewing the shade 7 which is a light mauve pink with multi colored shimmer. Its a little sheer but very moisturising and super light on lips..and it even plumps up the lips a little..the extra shine pearls do give the super shiny effect !

Here is the swatch..

And this is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. Super shiny and glossy.
2. The blue poppy extract does make it very moisturising.
3. Even plumps up the lips a little.
4. The staying power is good for a gloss.
5. I like the Deborah trademark curved packaging.
6. 10 ml would last real long.
7. It has this soft sponge applicator which is flexible and even bends a little when you apply it.

Cons:

1. The shade 7 is a little sheer..I am not aware if the other shades are pigmented coz I have not seen any swatches too.
2. The price is a little high for a sheer gloss…but the quantity is good enough.
3. Availability is still an issue with Deborah. Its not available everywhere and has to be bought online mostly.

Overall I do like it…Its actually as moisturising as a lip balm and gives those super shiny lips..and if you like your lips a little plumped up..you should surely try this.
