Lakme Enrich Satin Lipsticks 132,138 Review, Swatches 

Lakme Enrich Satin shades 131 to 138 are from the new Lakme Fantasy Collection…out of the eight..131 to 134 are non shimmery and 135 to 138 are shimmery.

Lakme Enrich Satin Lipsticks 132,138

132 is a nude pink brown…an MLBB shade for me…looks like second skin..one would not make out if I am wearing a lipstick..I loved this shade…

138 is a deep berry wine color with lots of silver shimmer..perfect for night time or with something traditional like a dark saree…

T-132 B- 138

Pros:

1. These are moisturising enough…you can easily skip a lip balm when using these.
2. The collection has more of pink this time than the usual browns.
3. Darker colors have a decent staying power of 2-3 hours and they leave behind a tint.
4. 131,132 and 133 are more on the nude pink side..those colors are very pretty for daily wear.
5. I love the shade 132 ! Its my MLBB and I am wearing it daily.

Cons:

1. The same old Lakme packaging..and with no names…just the numbers to confuse us more :/
2. It has an artificial smell and a weird taste which I did not like.
3. The lighter colors like 132 hardly stay for 1-2 hours without eating or drinking.
4. I would have preferred more colors in this range..and preferably non shimmery ones more.
5. Shimmer strays outside the lips in shimmery ones like 138.

Value for money: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes…I want to check out shades 131 and 133.

Ok I know I am not posting much and I am MIA..but I have classes and studies the whole day.I am out of home for 12-13 hrs 🙁 Still I am trying to catch up on everyone’s posts too..

Maybelline Watershine Lipsticks were their first I guess..I heard its discontinued at some places…but I never trust those rumours..I have 2 shades in these…Fancy Gold and Chestnut..
Fancy Gold is a light golden color…looks pretty on traditional wear…and and and I use it as a highlighter on my brow bone and it looks nice !!
Iced Tea is a light mauvy brown color..though it looks darker in tube.

T- Fancy Gold B- Iced Tea

T- Iced Tea B- Fancy Gold

What the Company claims: A splashy wet shine look and brilliant color for yummy looking lips.
Conditioners to keep your lips perfectly moisturized.
A lip smacking treat that glides on like a dream.

MRP: Rs 220/- for 3.4 g

Pros:

1. Comes in a variety of colors.
2. Very moisturising.
3. No need of a gloss…as it gives a glossy finish.
4. Economical.
5. Some colors like Fancy Gold are multi purpose.

Cons:

1. The staying power….it hardly stays for 1 hour 🙁 but for those who like to reapply their lippie..they would like it.
2. Packaging is ok…all pink…so one cannot even know the colors.

Lotus Herbals Floral Glam Lipsticks Review,Swatches

Lotus Herbals Floral Glam Lipsticks are made with 100% natural and botanical extracts. They come in 10 shades..I have Sensuous Mauve and Choco Chip out of it.

MRP: Rs 395/- for 4.2g

Sadly I could not find these on the Lotus site..I dont know why..

Sensuous Mauve is a very pretty warm mauve color..and Choco Chip is a nudish chocolate brown color..these are semi matte in texture. They do not have a separate top and are in twist up format.

Sensuous Mauve

Choco Chip

L-Choco Chip R-Sensuous Mauve (1 swipe)

Pros :

1. The colors are pretty..not very drying and the texture is nice too.
2. They stay on well for 3-4 hours.
3. The packaging is very classy and nice..golden case in twist up form and a bullet tip.
4. Economical at 295/-
5. Lotus is made with natural ingredients.
6. I particularly love the Sensuous Mauve shade.

Cons:

1. Availability is a issue with Lotus Cosmetics…one can find them at Beauty Centres and Fashion Bazaars here.
2. One has to be careful in opening it as the wrong twist could damage the whole lipstick.

Overall I quite like them and they are pretty decent. You can see more swatches here

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Maybelline never ever fails to impress me with its products,quality,colors,shades,everything and that too at reasonable prices…though there may be a few duds..but mostly things have worked for me..
Maybelline Colorsensational range is very nice with 35-45 colors and all..but I like Maybelline Mositure Extreme too.
I have three shades in it…which are Silver Sand, Chestnut and Bronzy Orange..

What the Company claims: Active power of a lip balm provides deep moisturization for voluptuous lips drenched in color.
56 sumptuous shades across every shade family to complement all skin tones
Non-feathering and non-bleeding
SPF 15 protection ( From site)

MRP: Rs 220/-  for 4g

Silver Sand is a light brown color with a hint of silver shimmer but not very visible..just gives a shine to lips
Chestnut is a true dark pink
Bronze Orange is a true orange color and my favorite these days…its a very pretty color and could be sheer with a lip balm to dark with 2 coats..as I like it…depending on the mood and occasion.

L-R: Chestnut, Bronze Orange, Silver Sand

I wore Bronzy Orange with a lipbalm in my Bite of an Apple FOTD

Pros:
1. They are very moisturising and give a nice finish to the lips.
2. The color is buildable and can be used as one likes them…as they are very nicely pigmented.
3. They are reasonable at this price.
4. They have some very nice colors.. and there is one for everyone.
5. They feel light on lips.
6. They are non feathering and non bleeding as per the claim.
7. Staying power is 3-4 hours without eating or drinking.

Cons:
1. The packaging is ok..it has a rounded cap and has to be stored upside down with the names and numbers underneath…so finding becomes a problem.
2. The site mentions 56 shades..but I dont think these many are available in India.
3.These are being neglected after Colorsensational range came..and was even said to be discontinued..I hope it doesnt..this has pretty colors and I like the texture too..
4. SPF 15 mentioned on site but not on lipsticks..so I am not too sure..

Rating:

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

Overall rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes i would…I also want to try the shades Honey Ginger,Buff and Chocolate Temptation. And I would recommend others also to have atleast one of these…

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Review, Swatches

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Naked Pink Review, Swatches

Rakshanda wanted a review on this..so here it is..
Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks come in 45 shades and there is one for every one..there are pinks, browns, nudes, mauves, burgundy,etc..all colors..

I have the one in 57P Naked Pink. Its a dark mauvey pink with a little earthiness to it..I think this shade would suit people with both fair and dusky complexion..it comes off different on different skin tones..for people with pink pigmented lips..its even an MLBB shade.

What the Company claims : For a rich lip colour with a creamy shine, the Velvett Matte Lipstick, available in 45 stunning shades infuse the lips with vibrancy. Its unique 2-in-1 formulation gives the lips a creamy, yet matte finish. A one of a kind product in India, it has super softening agents that give the lips a soft and supple appearance while keep them nourished with Vitamin E. Staying on up to 5 hours on application, the Velvett Matte Lipstick can be further accentuated with lip gloss and lip liner.

MRP- Rs. 225/- for 4.2 g (They were for Rs.200/- before)

Here is the swatch

And here it is on me..

Pros:

1. True to its claim..they are pretty long lasting..in fact they lasted the longest amongst all the lipsticks I have..They stayed for around 4-5 hours despite eating,drinking,everything..and they leave behind a tint.
2. The colors are very pretty.
3. They are a steal at Rs.225/-..pretty economical. (I got them for Rs. 180/-)
4. The ends have the same shade as the color..so easy to recognise if you have 2-3 of these.
5. They have a sweet smell…not too bothering.
6. They go on pretty smoothly…and have a somewhat matte finish.
7. 4.2 g is a good enough quantity.

Cons:

1. They are a bit drying as all matte lipsticks but wearing a lip balm underneath would help.
2. You have to top it off with a clear gloss if you like the glossy finish.
3. The shades online are pretty confusing and don’t match the color at all.
4. All the shades leave behind a pink tint..which is somewhat weird.

Overall these are quite value for money…and offer some amazing shades..surely recommended..

Would I buy it again- Yes..I am eyeing the Bare and Twig shades.

You have the option to buy Colorbar USA online if you don’t get it at your place. I have heard people receive their orders within 2 weeks..check out their website for more.
