I am reviewing the shade 912 Crimson Red. I have already reviewed their previous Color Marvel Nail Paints here.
These have a slimmer and better packaging..I liked the bottle..and also the brush..it spreads evenly and faster. Also its dries fast.
Crimson Red is a true bridal red shade…I love such reds..Another similar one I like is Street Wear Bridal Red. But since I found this now..and its Acetone, DBP and toluene free..I am sticking onto this..and surely getting this for my red stock forever !
Pros:1. Its Acetone, DBP and Toluene free.
2. Did not chip for 6 days and then chipped a little at the tips.
3. The brush is nice…non messy, fuss free application in a minute.
4. The shade is opaque enough and just 2 coats are required.
5. Dries fast.
6. Economical at the price..as it offers 8ml.Cons:

1. Availability is a problem with Lotus Herbals Cosmetics.

No other cons. I am totally loving this shade, the opaqueness, does not chip for 6-7 days and Acetone, DBP and Toluene free. And the Crimson Red Shade ! I am totally getting this..and recommending for sure..
Rating:Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 5/5

Would I buy it again: Yes !

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

Lotus Herbals Color Marvel Nail Color Review,Fiery Orange NOTD

Lotus Herbals have two types of nail paints Color Marvel and Color Dew and recently they have come up with a new range of Color Dew nail paints. Color Marvel are the round bottles and Color Dew are the long and sleek ones.

Here are the shades available..

What the Company claims: A unique non-toxic formulation, which is Acetone, Toluene & DBP-free, keeps nails healty & shiny for the long. The extended, flat & sturdy brush ensures even & Zero-streak application.

Side-effects of Acetone on nail cuticles are :
it dehydrats them
makes them fragile
makes them dull and dry
it can irritate skin
Toluene, found in common lacquers and nail polish: is a skin irritant. And so is DBP.

MRP: Rs.90/- for 8ml

I have the color Fiery Orange 986 and a beige golden color with no name. :/


Fiery Orange is a peachy orange color with fine golden shimmer and the other one is light beige golden color with fine golden shimmer again.

  

Fiery Orange

Beige Golden

Pros:

1.  Its Acetone, DBP and Toluene free.
2. The color stays without chipping for 7 days !!
3. The brush is super awesome…non messy, fuss free application in a minute.
4. 2 coats are enough for a perfect color.
5. Dries super fast.
6. Economical at the price..Maybelline and Lakme stand at the same price but this surpasses them in quality.

Cons:

1. Availability is a problem with Lotus Herbals Cosmetics.
2. Do not rely on the shades on site..see 986 shows a pink when its an orange..total mismatch..

Lotus Herbals Natural Kajal Review and how to make kajal stay longer

I love love this Kajal…I have also used the Shahnaz Hussain one before..which comes in a black case with mirror…but that does smudge and after a month or so..the shape of the bullet turns round from pointed..and then you get a very thick line on the eyes..and that smudges more..so I got his later..

What the Company claims : 100% natural kajal that relaxes & soothes eyes through the day. Smudge-proof & long lasting, it contains botanical extracts of camphor & almond oil to pamper eyes & promote lash growth.

Key Ingredients: Camphor, Liquorice and Almond oil

MRP: Rs 115/- for 4 gm

Just 1 swipe..before smudging

After smudging..fades but still remains

Pros:

1. Its jet black and one swipe gives a nice dark look.
2. Has cooling effect on the eyes.
3. It smudges less than other herbal kajals.
4. Its safe for contact lens wearers as I am also the one and does not sting at all.
5. The bullet tip stays as it is,even after months…and thats the biggest plus point of this kajal unlike the Shahnaz Hussain one which goes round and you get a super thick line which smudges all the more.
6. Economical and stays a long long time.
7. You can get it anywhere..even at normal pharmacy..so availability is never a problem.
8. Very easy to even tightline the eyes with it.

Cons:

1. The cap is small and can be misplaced..so one has to be careful..as without the cap the kajal would get contaminated and would be of no use.
2. Its not completely smudge proof as no kajal is..

Rating:

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

Overall rating: 4.25/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I would.

Now onto how to make your kajal stay longer on the eyes.

1. Apply a single layer of kajal and smudge it with your ring finger on the waterline..and then apply another single layer..this would help make it stay all day long.
Remember all kajals smudge..so the more thicker the layer..the more chances of getting raccoon eyes..I know many of us like the dark jet black look..but that will not stay longer and instead spread around eyes after some time.

2. After using kajal…you can set it with a black liquid liner on top…so that would lock the color in the eyes.

3. You can set it with a matte black eyeshadow..that would create a bridge in between..and it will absorb all the moisture from the eyes..making it stay longer.

4. Apply lots of loose powder or your compact around and under the eyes…as it would help keep the humidity and oils at bay and not smudging your kajal.

5. Use a primer on the lower lashline too if need be.

6. And if it smudges even after all this..carry Q tips and a cleanser or lacto calamine and just clean the area lightly.

7. Avoid using creams around the eye area before makeup as that would make it more messy.

And thats all…you can add some more tips of yours..I would love to hear it from you all.

Lotus Herbals Floral Glam Lipsticks Review,Swatches

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
