Lotus Herbals Moist Petals Lipstick Red Rover Swatches


I have already reviewed the Lotus Herbals Moist Petals Lipstick here. I had the shade Maroon Melody. Then I quite liked the formula and got two more..in Rose Petal and Natural Haze.
Lotus Herbals Moist Petals Lipstick Red Rover Swatches

The shade I am reviewing today is 112 Red Rover which is a part of their Festive Glam collection having 5 other new shades.

It looks like an orange based red in the tube..but its not as dark until layered up. A single swipe gives a hint of pinkish red tint on the lips.

In Sunlight
Indoors

It does have some shimmer but its not much visible on application. The staying power is decent if worn as a full color and it leaves behind a tint but it does transfer like all lip colors.

But these are quite moisturising and you can skip a lip balm with this one.

Overall a nice red for those who are scared of reds or want to try reds..you can start with this..and even use it as a tint if you do not want a darker color.

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.

Lakme Lip Love Lipstick Aphrodite Blush Review,Swatches, FOTD

Lakme Lip Love Lipstick Aphrodite Blush Review,Swatches,FOTD


What the Company claims:

MRP: Rs. 550/-

Lakme had launched their Lip Love lipsticks last December…these are by far the costliest lipsticks Lakme has..but are they worth it..read on..

They have this metallic red ‘love’ embossed packaging..even the lipstick bullet has LOVE written on it..:p But the packaging is quite sturdy and nice and not the usual Lakme..

They come in 12 shades and have both lighter and darker shades to choose from..They have SPF 16 and are super creamy and hydrating.

The shade Aphrodite Blush is a peachy brown shade..which goes from a light to dark as its quite buildable..it can look more on the brown side on a few..

And here is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. These are quite pigmented..you need just a single swipe for the color which you can build up depending on how you like it.
2. Very creamy and moisturising.
3. Feel super light on lips.
4. I liked the packaging…and its quite sturdy too.
5. They do not have any particular taste and just a light scent.
6. SPF 16
7. These stay on for 2-3 hours on my lips which is fine.
8. These do not settle in my fine lines and do not accentuate them.

Cons:

1. Expensive…but these are quite good quality wise.
2. I would have liked more shades..in fact pinks and corals.

Otherwise no cons..I quite like them..and for the above question..yes these are totally worth it !

Rating:

Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 3.75/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..And I would recommend the shades Rose Kissed and Love Haze for everyday shades..Wine Whisper and Plum Pout if you like plums..

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Plum Paradise Swatches

I have My Mahagony from Color Sensational and thats an universally loved awesome shade. Check out the swatches and my review of these lipsticks here.

MRP: Rs. 299/- for 4.2g

Plum Paradise is a deep plum shade with some red shimmer in it..Its a perfect night time shade.

Maybelline Color Sensational are quite moisturising and stay for a decent time on the lips..particularly dark shades like Plum Paradise stay longer..

Neither do they settle in fine lines nor does the shimmer stray away from lips.

If you do not have a plum shade in your stash and wish to get one..then you should surely try this..

Queen Cosmetics Lipsticks Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: Smooth and long-lasting, Queen lipsticks come in a range of vibrant colours. Choose from :

Pink (hot / magenta pink)
Medium (a sheer mid-red)
Soft Pink (bubblegum pink)
Maize (an orangey brown)
Coral (a pinky red)
Light Red (not pictured – a bright, slightly orangey red).

Ingredients: Castor Oil, Oleyl Alcohol, Candelilla Wax, Acetylated Lanolin, Alcohols, Carnauba Wax, Ozokerite Wax, Lanolin, Beeswax, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Methylparaben, Pigments

MRP: £10.00 

These come in a simple plain white packaging and nothing to fancy coz these are only made for Queen Cosmetics loyal customers on their request and not marketed and sold commercially.

L- Soft Pink R- Coral

Soft Pink is a cool toned bubblegum pink..its too much of a barbie pink on my tone.
Coral is a nice pinky red..quite a wearable version of red.

T- Soft Pink B- Coral

These are the most pigmented and creamiest lipsticks ever. But these are so creamy that one has to be careful in using them as they can bleed.

Pros:

1. These are very very creamy.
2. Very pigmented.
3. These stay put for a long time leaving behind a tint…so much so that you need a proper cleanser to remove this at the end of the day.
4. These are very small and handy to carry.

Cons:

1. These can bleed as they are too creamy.
2. Expensive for 10£ coz they have a simple packaging and not too much of product.
3. Available online.
4. Only 6 colors to choose from.
5. These do settle in fine lines.

Overall these are creamy and pigmented and long staying. If you like your lipstick to be long staying then you can try this but for me it settles in fine lines and can even bleed for a few.

Etude Aqua Rouge Lipstick Review,Swatches

Etude Aqua Rouge Lipstick Review,Swatches

Now I had got this long time back..and these lipsticks do not have names..they just have numbers and this one is PP933. I do not know if they are available widely here but Etude House is easily available in Malaysia, Singapore,etc..basically South East Asia. 

I do not have the outer carton now which had the ingredients and content and claim. It has Vitamin E and other stuff I remember which makes it moisturising.

I had bought this from a local shop here..I am not aware if they still have this.

MRP: I am not quiet sure but I guess it was around Rs. 200/-

This shade is a glossy light pink with a little mauve undertone and very fine silver shimmer..I just love this shade ! Period.

T-2 swipes B- 1 swipe 

It is super moisturising and very very light on lips..you would never ever feel you are wearing a lipstick. It gives a high glossy sheen to the lips and you would not need a gloss with this.

Here is how it looks on my lips

This shade would look very good on medium to fair skin. Its a perfect everyday pink and would not look OTT at all. I wore it in my FOTD here

Pros:

1. Very moisturising..you can easily skip a lip balm with this.
2. Love the shade ! Its a perfect everyday pink.
3. I liked the off white and silver packaging. Its quiet sturdy too.
4. Gives a nice glossy sheen to the lips.
5. Economical.
6. Glides on super smooth.
7. Does not accentuate lines on lips.
8. The shimmer is not very visible and does not stray around the lips like Lakme 138. It just goes away with the lipstick.

Cons:

1. My only issue with this is the staying power. As its super moisturising it stays just for 1-2 hours.
2. Availability is an issue with this.

Overall I quite love this shade and can use it every single day 🙂
