I am reviewing the shade 05 Rose Coral..which has nothing rosy about it 😀
Its a true coral orange with some fine silver shimmer..the shimmer does not come up much on application.
Its a lipstick in cream form..texture being similar to NYX Lip Matte Cream..it takes some time to settle and once it sets it does not budge easily from the lips..and as claimed its water proof and transfer proof..and does stay the whole day.
The only problem being you need well exfoliated moisturised lips to use this..otherwise it accentuates the dryness and chapped lips..and settles in fine lines..and its a little pain removing it off..though you do not need to scrape of the layer of your lips as in some two sided stay on lip colors !
Here is how it looks on me..I use a little quantity and spread it around..one can layer for more bright color !
Pros:
1. I liked the Rose Coral shade..but I use it lightly..if you prefer brighter shades..you can layer it to get a full blown color.
2. Water proof and transfer proof..this is a very good option when you have to attend long functions and might not get time for touch ups. You can even layer it up with some other color..but at the end of the day..your lips won’t be bare and will have a nice tint.
3. Stays put the whole day.
4. Feels light weight as claimed.
5. Economical..and 8 ml is a good quantity..this would last long.
6. The applicator wand is easy to use.
7. There are many shades available from Reds to Corals to Browns and Purples.
Cons:
1. You need well exfoliated and moisturised lips.
2. You would need a good cleanser to take it off.
3. Availability is an issue..Diana of London is not available everywhere. 4. Has parabens.
Overall I quite like it..and its perfect for long days and functions..Feels light weight on lips..a lip balm beneath or a lip gloss to top with can always solve the dry lips problem..I surely recommend this.

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.

I have no words to describe this lipstick actually ! In one word its AWESOME..!
It has this long slender black square packaging..and shaped as a slim lipstick..super creamy..quite pigmented..and it has no smell at all..
Rose Brown as the name suggests is a medium pink with a hint of brown…a perfect MLBB for me..I am wearing it each and every day..I am so addicted to it..
Here is the swatch..
And here is how it looks on me..
Pros:
1. Super creamy..I just love the texture..as good as a lip balm.
2. Its quite pigmented and I need just one swipe and can build up the color..but the shade is such that it never looks too bright.
3. The staying power is pretty good..and it leaves behind a tint even after a full meal.
4. No fragrance.
5. I am so in love with the shade..its perfect for Asian skin tones..and if you, like me, are addicted to MLBB shades..then this one is made for you 🙂
6. I loved the entire collection of shades..and also that it has more of pinks, corals, rosy browns and nude pinks and browns.
7. It does not settle into fine lines and gives a creamy finish to the lips.
Cons:
1. It gets collected at the outer edges..a common problem with these slim lipsticks.
2. Not available here..:(
I cannot think of any other cons..I am so in love with it..This is surely a must try..And it has 97% recommendation by users on its site too..Apart from Rose Brown, I also like Twilight, Uber Pink, Pink Buff, Coral Pink…sigh..so many !

I just love this shade changing pic !
I am reviewing the shade 03 Copper Blazer..don’t you just love the packaging in gold..with its trademark shape..And I also loved the names..which are associated with clothes..red corset, red dress,plum leggings etc..
MilanoRed lipsticks are a new launch by Deborah Milano in India..
03 Copper Blazer is a coppery terracotta pink with some slight shimmer..but not too bright or intense..but a more wearable one..the brown undertones make it less bright and more wearable..this is something very suitable for traditional wear..
It has the Deborah sign of roses and leaves engraved on the bullet..has a sweet violet scent which a few may not like.
It is super duper creamy and pigmented…one swipe gives the perfect color and it stays for a decent time too.
Here is how it looks on me..
Pros:
1. Love the buttery soft texture. 2. Super pigmented..you need just a swipe. 3. Though they claim 10 hours of wear..which is a little too much..it does stay for a decent 4-5 hours and leaves behind a pretty tint. 4. I loved the golden trademark Deborah packaging. 5. Though its a little on the expensive side..with the quality and staying power..its decently priced. 6. Does not settle into fine lines. 7. You do not need a lip balm or anything as its quite creamy. 8. Has SPF 15.
Cons:
1. Since they are recently launched..I am not too sure of its availability. 2. It has a sweet violet scent..if you have a sensitive nose..you better smell it first.
Overall I am loving these..the texture and quality is a little similar to Lakme Lip Love lipsticks..but I guess these are better off in staying power..

It has this very normal packaging..with a transparent cap..These are very pigmented..you need just a swipe to get a deep color..and if you prefer just tinted lips..then go carefully with a deeper shade like Plum Wine..
Plum Wine is a deep berry pink shade…though does not have any plum in it :/ the staying power of these is amazing ! In fact the swatch was not ready to budge from my hand too :/
Pros:
1. These are super pigmented. 2. Available in 70 colors..you name it and they have it. 3. Staying power is quite good..it stays for a good amount of time and the tint stays the whole day. 4.

Cons:
1. These feel a little drying. 2. Packaging is ok but with the price I guess its fine. 3. Availability is an issue in India. You can buy them here

There are eight gorgeous lipsticks and two lipliners in our range – with soft pinks, beige and chocolate colours mixed together and a thick clear gloss to wear alone or over the top to create luscious looking, simply irrekissable lips.
What the Company claims and Ingredients:
MRP: 25$ each
They have this pink and blingy super girly packaging. And the case is quite nice and sturdy..you hear a click when the caps are closed and are secured.
There are 8 shades available in these:
Aphrodite is described as a deep red. Its a crimson red shade which would suit most skin tones.
Cupid is described as a Deep Fuchsia/Pink tone shade. It looks more purply in the tube but comes out a nice lilac with fuchsia pink undertones..It leaves behind a pretty pink tint even after it wears off. For people who want to wear fuchsias or lilacs but not sure if they can carry such bold shades..this is a perfect start !
Oceanus is described as a light coral tone. But it actually is a nude peach shade. This shade is a little pale for my skin tone and washes me out..though not completely. This is something which would look good when paired with intense smokey eyes.
Voluptas is described as a Scarlet rich red shade. Its a true red shade. This is a total glam shade. Wearing this can instantly brighten your face. I loved this red !
Swatches:
Indoors
In Sunlight
Pros:
1. These are super duper pigmented..the swatches above are just 1 swipe. 2. Very creamy and moisturising. 3. These contain evening primrose oil, jojoba seed oil, castor oil and beeswax. 4. Have a faint vanilla smell. 5. Love the pinky blingy packaging. 6. These stay easily for 4-5 hours without eating or drinking and even leave a nice tint behind after they wear off. 7. Both the reds are very glam !
Cons:
1. Well this is not a con..but I would suggest using a lip brush with these especially with the reds as they are so pigmented…for even application. 2. Availability is an issue..though they ship worldwide. You can buy them here
Overall I love these…and I guess these lipsticks are surely a must try. Everyone should have atleast one of these.

Marula oil comes from the marula tree, native to Southern Africa. The oil is rich in oleic acid, essential to the maintenance of healthy-looking skin. The Body Shop trades with the Eudafano Womens Cooperative in northern Namibia, which helps women in rural communities who have very few opportunities to earn money. The trade with our company has helped more than 750 women and their families to benefit from this traditional, yet underutilized natural resource.
Ingredients : Marula oil – Is a very effective moisturiser that also helps to condition the skin over time. Also provides essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness.
Organic beeswax – Moisturises and helps to condition the skin. Acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture. Helps to keep product texture consistent when used over time.
Grapeseed oil – Is very rich in essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness.
Tips: Exfoliate the lips using our Lip Scuff one to two times per week to help keep them smooth and soft. For longer lasting Lip Colour, apply to lips and blot with a tissue, lightly dust with Loose Face Powder and re-apply.
Instructions: Apply directly to the lips, following their natural shape. Or apply using our Lipstick & Concealer Brush or Retractable Lipstick & Concealer Brush.
I liked the silver round packaging of these..and these are quite sturdy too..these are super creamy in texture..
These lipsticks are quite sheer and needs to be builded up for the color to show..but would give a very glossy sheen to the lips..the staying power would not be long as these are so glossy.
Here are some swatches..
51- Mocha (Light Peachy Brown) 56- Soft Beige (A nude beige shade) 55- Pure Blush (Its a cool toned pink) 22- Garnet (Crimson red) 30- Beechnut (Nude beige again) 53- Brilliant Red (True red)
I want to try 63 Sunset Peach and 66 Coral Splash…ok Bhumika..enough of peaches and corals !! (note to self)
What the Company claims: Instant burst of rich, true color with a featherlight feel
-Elasticolor™ technology provides immediate color release and hugs lips with a burst of weightless color that feels like a second skin
-Available in 20 gorgeous shades, including 5 new shades!
EXPERT TIPS:
Apply directly to lips for beautiful, high impact color. Can be worn with or without lipliner.
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..;)

Morning sun is a warm peachy orange shade…and it can be built up with more swipes. I like the classic black soft packaging. Its very sturdy. The bullet is shaped in a semi circular form. Even though its moisturising I do need a lip balm underneath this..coz its a little matte and tends to settle in fine lines.
1 swipe
2-3 swipes
Pros:
1. I loved the soft black packaging and the case..its very very sturdy.
2. The shade is pretty pigmented and quite buildable..you can get a soft orange color to a more built up warm orange.
3. Made from natural ingredients…certified natural !
4. Staying power is quite good..these stay for 4-5 hours.
5. Color goes away evenly and not in patches.
6. And the most important..these are lead free !
Cons:
1. It tends to settle in fine lines if a lip balm is not used underneath.
2. Availability is an issue. You can buy it here but its difficult to guess the exact shade online.
3. Expensive.
Overall I do like the shade..even though its not an everyday shade for me..I love using it as a soft corally orange tint..it does not look OTT…and for girls who are above NC 40 and like peach but it washes them out..this shade would not..
