I have chosen Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids ‘Hot Plum’ as my lipstick for your contest entry just coz I love the unique gorgeous plummy pink color with the added intense shine that looks fab on festivals/parties.
I like to wear this shade with my ethnic wear, specially blue n pink dresses n even lightly for a more toned down look when going out with friends. A soft pink blush and a blue/black eye liner is all that is the other makeup needed.
Editor’s Note: Thats a super hot shade Nids..and loved the pout pics as always 🙂
Kryolan City Mumbai Store Visit
Kryolan City Mumbai Store Visit
Few days ago I was invited to check the Kryolan City Store at Bandra..let me show you guys some pics..
Store Address: Silver Pearl Building, Shop No:2, Water Field Road. Opp. Harley Davidson Showroom. Bandra West, Mumbai -400050.
Its in the opposite lane to Bora Bora..
Obviously all of you must be knowing Kryolan..its the brand used by all Makeup Artists all over the world..be it brides, actors, models..Kryolan bases are used for all and by all..
More about Kryolan: At Kryolan, we make professional make-up. But not like anybody else. We’ve been using our own recipes and creating our own professional products for over three generations – that’s over sixty-six years’ experience. Our range of over 16,000 products in 750 color-intense shades is loved by professional make-up artists worldwide: Including our award-winning Dermacolor, Supracolor and Aquacolor ranges, foundations and body make-up.

Kryolan’s Product line-up
From Foundations and Cream make-up, through setting powders and sprays, eye and lip make-up, Kryolan offers products for every application – including body painting – the latest fad.
Their bases are the best selling obviously..the TV Paint Stick, Derma Color Range and the Ultra Foundation Palettes..
I met their Mumbai’s Marketing Lead Neetu..who explained a lot about Kryolan and their best sellers and associations with fashion weeks..and also how they never advertise ! Its just word of mouth..Like Kiehl’s in skin care..
They have recently launched Lip N’ Cheek and Lip Stains..
Lip N’ Cheek is a water-resistant cream that colors lips and cheeks with a natural touch.
Lip Stain is a matt, color-intense, long-lasting and smudge-proof lip fluid. For easy removal use Kryolan Eye Make-up Remover.
I have swatches of all the Lip N’ Cheek and Lip Stains for you guys which I would be posting soon..
P.S: Ikonic Eye Pencils are not from Kryolan ! And they are not even sold at Kryolan..
Have you tried the two new launches from Kryolan ? What are your favorites from Kryolan ?

Another lip crayon..no its not a recent one..as you all know..but I had not tried it before..it comes in 5-6 shades but only these 4 are available everywhere.
Comes in a normal swivel up packaging…and has matching outer body to the shades..
Its super glossy and balmy as the name goes..has a slight fruity smell.
Pomegranate Punch is the brightest and juiciest of all four shades..its a reddish pink..with some fine shimmer.
It stays on for 2-3 hours..the shine fades in an hour or so..but the color stays..and leaves a tint behind.
Here is it on me..
Pros:
1. Nice packaging,
2. Easy to carry around.
3. Super glossy and moisturising..no need of a lip gloss or lip balm with this.
4. Quite pigmented.
5. Stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a tint.
6. Most reasonably priced lip crayon in the market.
Cons:
1. I would have loved more shades in this.
2. I wish it was sans shimmer.
Overall, its a nice buy..value for money..this shade Pomegranate Punch is the brightest and would look good on all skin tones..Recommend it !
Rating:
Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 4/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Would I buy it again: Yes

It’s Lotus Herbals Floral Stay 410 Red Rover lipstick which is a bright Orange based Red with subtle gold shimmers that you wouldn’t even notice until you look really close or photograph with a flash for a soft shiny look.

I loved red and orange toned reds compliments my skin tone well. I love to pair it with Green toned eye makeup with brightened inner eye corners and a peachy brown blush on cheeks. 🙂
Editor’s Note: I love Lotus lipsticks..I had many before..time to dig in them more :p Lovely pout pics Poo 😀

I had placed an order an month back..I know it took super long 🙁 And also I was charged $4 customs duty on it 🙁 But it was nicely packed with bubble wrap and cute star shaped sponges..but they have free shipping all over the world..if you need a tracking number, then $2.5 and if you choose express shipping, then $22.
I like the fact that they have free shipping..all international sites who have free shipping are my favorites ! 😀 Though we cannot be spared from customs :/ I wish they spared ‘Beauty Bloggers’ with a special section created in the Act…here talks my inner CA :p
I had ordered for Etude House Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips talk in JOR 203..which is a super bright and vivid orange..and Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer..which makes eye shadows pop like anything and stays put whole day without any creasing !
I am loving both of these !! My current favorites and a lot used these days…
Here is the lipstick on me..
It is super glossy and hydrating..more like a lip gloss..but does not stay long..max 2-3 hours..I don’t mind reapplying..and I am in love with the shade..
I highly recommend this site..also coz they have free shipping…and currently they have discounts on many items..plus they also have free combo offers..
Have you shopped from Cosmetic-love.com ? Have you tried Etude House products ?
P.S: Product sent by brand but it has not affected my review.
The Body Shop Color Crush Lipstick Swatches
The Body Shop Color Crush Lipstick Swatches
After trying out the fabulous Body Shop Color Crush Eyeshadows, I though of giving the newly launched Body Shop Color Crush lipsticks a try too..I had mentioned about them HERE
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. The result is vivid, wow-worthy colour that glides onto lips and feels mega-comfortable to wear. What’s more, each lipstick has a sophisticated delicate floral rose fragrance. Divine!
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!
At first, there were no 24 shades at the store..only 12 🙁 And out of the 12, I liked only a few..some were those deep brown and maroon :/ I have the swatches of those few I liked for you all..
And secondly no names are mentioned on the lipstick tube anywhere :/

230 Rush of Pink– A frost pale pink
310 Crush on Caramel– A nude brown (310 and 230 interchanged :p Sorry)
115 Enraptured Red– Pinkish red

Most of the pretty shades like 205,etc were not there..are they all launched in India ? Or only half of them..and if half, then why 🙁 As only 12 show up on the site..And there were many frost finish..I am not a fan of frost finish..and I guess most of you are not..
Anyways, I picked 2 of these..can you guess which ? 😉
And which is your favorite ?

It is INGLOT Freedom System Lipstick in #53 is a bold shade of pink. It is a bright fushia pink shade in cool undertones which is too hot to handle and the color shouts “Dare to wear!”.
I love it for the oomph it adds to the whole look. I love to pair it with understated eye makeup with a slight winged eye liner or a wash of light brown eye shadow all over the lids with a rosy pink blush on cheeks..:)
Editor’s Note: It is indeed a fab shade..one of my favorites is shade 51.. Check out 11 Inglot Freedom System Lipstick Swatches HERE.
