MRP: 20$ for 6ml

It comes in the shades Baby Pink,Natural and Shimmering Red. I loved the packaging of this…transparent rectangular shaped with two lights on the cap and a golden mirror on the side..I absolutely love using it when I am travelling..and as soon as I open it up..the lights glow and everyone around is like ooh and aah ! :p

Ambika Pillai’s lip glosses have similar packaging and lights..which are available here.

I am reviewing the shades Natural and Baby Pink. Both are a little sheer but completely non sticky and very shiny..the shine makes the lips look a little plumper..these are very very moisturising too.

Baby Pink is a very light sheer pink and Natural is a little coppery pink.

T-B: Natural,Baby Pink

These have a slanted soft sponge applicator..its easy to use.

Pros:

1. Completely non sticky.
2. I love both Natural and Baby Pink..they look good both alone and on top of lipsticks.
3. Very moisturising.
4. I adore the packaging and the mirror and lights !
5. Its very handy and can be used anywhere and everywhere literally !
6. 6 ml is a good quantity.

Cons:

1. Baby Pink is a little sheer for pigmented lips.
2. The lights of one of the lip gloss stopped working suddenly 🙁
3. Expensive for a sheer lip gloss.
4. Availability is an issue. You can order it here

Overall I do like them..more so for their packaging..but the lights of one stopped working and now it looks so normal..though these are quite good in quality too..worth trying once.

All of these shades have little shimmer..but not all are OTT..I loved the shade Papaya the most followed by Strawberry and Rose Gold.
Papaya is a true coral orange with very fine golden shimmer which are not much visible or do not bother much.
These glosses are non sticky and quite moistursing. I love the long sleek packaging of these..and the applicator is such that it exactly fits the shape of your lips. They have a sweet vanilla smell.
And this is how it looks on me..
You can buy it from Healthkart..they usually have discounts on it..
Pros:
1. These are totally non sticky and very creamy and moisturising.
2. Being a gloss they are quiet pigmented and stay for a good 2-3 hours on lips.
3. Though they are priced higher than other glosses the quantity they offer is also huge..I guess no gloss offers 5.9 ml of quantity.
4. These have a shelf life of 3 years..so do not worry if you have too much makeup and think you can never finish stuff.
5. The applicator wand is shaped to exactly fit the shape of your lips.
6. All the shades offered are pretty good.
7. The shimmer is very fine and not OTT and neither does it stray away from lips.
8. I like the long sleek packaging.
9. It has sweet almond,olive,chamomile and avocado extracts.
Cons:
I did not find any cons with it actually !
Overall I am in love with this…the shade, the texture, packaging, everything..

The shade I am reviewing 40 Lychee Squash is a part of their new launch. They have a normal slanted applicator..I guess a doe foot one would have been better.

Lychee Squash is a bronzy pink shade with shimmer..its a perfect festive shade..this shade would go with most of the Indian traditional wear.

2. A shade to go with traditional wear.
3. 5 ml is a good quantity..it would last quite long.

1. Not all Ingredients are mentioned.
2. Staying power is ok..it does not last long.
3. This shade is not suitable for daily wear.
4. Its not very pigmented..so if you have pigmented lips you need to test it first.

Overall a decent gloss..And I would surely like to check out other shades..I just wished it had a little less shimmer and would have stayed longer.
