Kryolan Lip Stain Review, Swatches

Kryolan Lip Stain Dance Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Kryolan Lip Stain, complete with applicator brush, has been specifically developed by chemists in Kryolan’s labs to offer powerful water resistance, and endure the longest, most rigorous wear – whilst being smooth to apply and comfortable to wear. It also contains UV-B filters, so ideal for long-lasting outdoor wear or photoshoots.

Lip Stain is a matt, color-intense, long-lasting and smudge-proof lip fluid. For easy removal use Kryolan Eye Make-up Remover. 

MRP: Rs.1000/- for 4ml

Ingredients:

Shades Available: See Swatches HERE


It comes in a slender lip gloss like tube..and a similar applicator..but its not a lip gloss or a thin water based stain..its more like a lip cream..which settles like a matte lipstick.

Their finish is compared to Lime Crime’s famous Velvetines by many..

Its non sticky..completely matte..and stays put forever..

Ya if you have dry lips like mine, it would accentuate them..but then all matte stuff do that..don’t they..one suggestion would be too use a lip primer..to lessen the appearance of lines..I have the Too Faced Lip Insurance..though I have’nt used it here..wanted to show you this as it is.. (actually I am too lazy to find stuff :p )

Its indeed long lasting and smudge proof as claimed..stays for around 6-7 hours…and then starts fading..

Comes in 8 shades..and all are gorgeous ! Highly recommend the Rock for brides !! Check out all the swatches HERE.

Dance is a mauve pink shade..


Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Long staying and smudge proof.
2. Easy to use.
3. Crazily pigmented..you dont need lots.
4. Matte finish.
5. Lime Crime Velvetines Dupe 😀
6. Nice mix of shades..a nude, peach, brown, red, mauve, fuchsia..

Cons:

1. Little expensive.
2. Not easily available.

Overall I would say these are just perfect lip stains..and can be indeed called lip stains..stay on for a long time..and gives a nice matte finish..matte lovers buy all ! :p Highly recommend.

My favorites are Rock, Dance, Gospel and Pop !

Kryolan Lip N’ Cheek Orchid Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Lip N’ Cheek is a water-resistant cream that colors lips and cheeks with a natural touch.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.500/- for 10ml

I had mentioned about the Lip N’ Cheek HERE with all the swatches..and also the shades available..

Shades:
  • Poppy: A bright orange
  • Freesia: A nude brown..MLBB kinda shade
  • Dahlia: Rust brown
  • Rose: Pretty pink brown
  • Lily: Light Peach
  • Tulip : Brick orange
  • Amaryllis : A light milky brown
  • Lotus: Pale Pink
  • Orchid: Pretty Deep Berry
I am reviewing the shade Orchid today.

It comes in a small tube form..with a slant applicator. Its quite thin in consistency and light water like in texture..

But the pigmentation is nice..once blended on the cheeks or lips..it stays ans stays..

It basically gives a soft hue or tint..a very natural look..and is perfect for everyday..when you do not want too bright a color or a lipstick on yourself…and something that stays put whole day..for the cheeks, it gives a soft flushed look..

Orchid is a deep berry shade..that gives a beetroot like pink flush to the cheeks and lips.

Pros:

1. Convenient packaging.
2. Though its a small tube, it actually contains 10 ml and being a tint, its quite a good qty.
3. Stays put whole day.
4. Gives a soft tint to the lips and a flushed look to the cheeks.
5. You just need a little bit as it is quite pigmented.

Cons:

1. Kryolan stores are not located everywhere and its not available online too.

Overall, I would say its quite worth it..and a must try..I also love the shades Poppy and Rose apart from Orchid. Check out all the shades HERE. Highly recommend it.

The Body Shop Color Crush Lipsticks Review, Swatches

The Body Shop Color Crush Lipsticks Review, Swatches

I showed you the swatches of all Body Shop Color Crush Lipsticks HERE. I also asked you to guess which two I picked..some of you guessed one right..

I liked 101 Red Siren which is a true red shade..but then I had many deep reds..I picked up 115 Enraptured Red and 335 Hot Date.

What the Company claims :Fall In Love with Lip Smacking Colour Introducing New Colour Crush Lipstick Fall in love with lip smacking colour with new Colour Crush™ Lipstick, our new, super nourishing lipstick collection made from the finest quality crushed pigments. From red-carpet reds, to flirty pinks, to au natural nudes, each cutting-edge lip colour is 100% cruelty free, 100% vegetarian and 100% high impact.

Lust-Have Lip Colour 

Our new Colour Crush™ Lipstick collection is an on-trend palette of 24 brilliantly vibrant shades of lipstick, each delivering maximum colour impact. The fashion-forward line-up is available in three colour families; the brightest reds, the sweetest pinks and the finest nudes, in a mix of pure colour and subtle shimmer finishes. Whatever your style, whatever your skins tone, it’s time to reveal your true colours…  

Crush On You  

Our Colour Crush™ collection marries our most intense, full-on colours with luscious moisture. Our secret? We’ve travelled the world to source high-quality pigments, which we’ve finely crushed then blended with a drop of nurturing cherry seed oil and coated with our finest, silkiest Community Fair Trade marula oil.

Three Colour Families  

With so many hot hues to choose from, you can re-invent your lip-look every day. We love the flame-red drama of Red Siren 101, a bold and beautiful crimson that adds a touch of Hollywood glamour. We think our pink and violet shades are to-die-for; try Red Hot Raspberry 201 for a fierce fuchsia that packs a punch And for easy-to-wear elegance, slick on beautiful beige; one of our favorites is Coral Kiss 315, a shimmering peachy nude. Priced at a purse-friendly Rs.795 for 3.5g, you’ll want to get your hands on them!  

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.795/- for 3.5g

It comes in three different color families..so the packaging has three different colored caps..

Most of them I swatched where frost finish or gave that effect..I picked up 115 and 335 which were not frost..

115 Enraptured Red is a nice deep pinkish red.

335 Hot Date is a light mauve plum

These are super moisturising..no need of any lip balm with these..and highly pigmented..like two swipes give deep opaque coverage..and would cover pigmented lips too..

What I was amazed at..is the staying power ! No moisturising lipstick stays that long..like max 3-4 hours..this stayed for 6-7 hours plus and the tint was there till the end..which was quite deep and prominent too..

Pros:

1. Super pigmented.
2. Highly moisturising.
3. Stays for 6-7 hours and leaves behind a strong tint.
4. Has a soft rose fragrance.
5. Chic color wise packaging.
6. Glossy finish.
7. Does not smear or bleed.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. More shades in frost finish out of the shades launched.
3. Not all shades launched here.

Overall quality wise, these are fab ! When all qualities are present in a lipstick, its perfect ! And this one is..I highly recommend these !

After the Body Shop Color Crush Eyeshadows which were awesome, this too has stood upto those expectations being from the same range. Check out all other lipsticks swatches HERE.

This is Avon Ultra Moisture Lipstick in “Rose Seviliana”.

It’s a rich shade of red, leaning towards brick. It is quite pigmented, something that I didn’t expect from this range of Avon. I usually love wearing it as a stain, dabbing it lightly on my lips and blending it with my fingers. 🙂

Editor’s Note: Thats a nice red indeed..and nice pout pic..

Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 14

By Agnibanya

Hi Everyone,
My lip color favorites do keep changing with seasons and my mood, but these days I enjoy sporting a deep dark lip as is the fall trend this season.  And MAC’s Satin Lipstick Rebel sort of tops the chart this time. This is a simply stunning deep bright plum which looks gorgeous on all skin tones.

With Rebel on my lips, I usually like my makeup to be clean and sharp, like a pale frosted pink on my lids and a sharp winged liner, or deep bronze on the lids with loads of kohl. I like to pair it mostly with Indian ethnic wear. 

Have a great day everyone!!

Editor’s Note: Its indeed a fab shade..and loved your pics !
