Lotus Herbals Natural Blend Swift Make-Up Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
Lotus Herbals Natural Blend Swift Make-Up SPF15 Natural Beige Review, Swatches

What the Company Claims: All-in-one make-up that works like a foundation, a concealer & a compact, with sun protection. Its smooth application creates an even skin tone, conceals imperfections & blends easily for a matte effect, without caking or clogging pores.

MRP: Rs. 249/- for 10g

Shades Available:

  • 710 Honey Beige (Darkest)
  • 720 Natural Beige (Mid)
  • 730 Creamy Peach (Lightest)
I have 720 Natural Beige..the mid one..its a little orangish for my skin tone though..

It comes in this twist up stick form..with a red and golden plastic body..though the plastic cap fits well..its not very sturdy.

The stick is super creamy and glides on well..it has an artificial sweet smell which I did not like..

This does not give enough coverage..its quiet sheer..works decent for an under eye concealer but if you have heavy dark circles..won’t work that way too..definitely not as foundation..it would give hardly any coverage.

Unblended
Blended

It does transfer on tissue and kerchief too…it works well as an under eye base..and pops up color..but since it very creamy..it would crease sooner too..
Pros:

1. Works in many ways.
2. Has SPF15.
3. Travel friendly.
4. Economical..and the qty of 10g is quite a lot too..
5. Works as base for eye shadows.

6. Conceals light dark circles.
7. Did not break me out..but since its creamy..oily skin definitely needs to set it with powder.

Cons:

1. Not much coverage.
2. Only three shades to choose from.
3. Has a sweet artificial smell..which I detest.
4. Transfers on tissues and kerchiefs.
5. Wear time is just 4-5 hours max.

Overall I found it pretty ok..if you have dry skin and do not need much coverage..you can give this a try..but if you need coverage..this would not work for you.

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..

The texture is cream finish and is moisturising too..it does not settle into lines and never feels dry..staying power varies from shade to shade..darker shades have a good staying power of 3-4 hours and leaves a tint behind. It has a sweet artificial smell which I did not like much..but it goes away in a few minutes.

Lotus Herbals Moist Petals Lipstick Red Rover Swatches

Uncategorized, , , ,
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.

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.

Lotus Herbals Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss Review,Swatches


What the Company claims: A unique, high gloss lip care formulation with a non-sticky feel. Enriched with botanical extracts of Grapes and Jojoba that make lips soft and supple for long. The unique product qualities are:  Sponge Brush Applicator for smooth even application  Freedom to use as top coat without affecting lip color.

Active Ingredients: JOJOBA – Jojoba helps promote healing of the skin. – Its antimicrobial properties in addition to the chemical composition that closely resembles skin’s natural sebum, makes it easy to absorb and non-allergic even in the most sensitive individuals.

MRP: Rs. 225/- for 5ml

I had posted about the new Festive launches by Lotus Herbals in Moist Petals and Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss here. They have come up with 6 new shades in Moist Petals and 5 new shades in lip glosses suitable for the Festive season.

The shade I am reviewing 40 Lychee Squash is a part of their new launch. They have a normal slanted applicator..I guess a doe foot one would have been better.

Lychee Squash is a bronzy pink shade with shimmer..its a perfect festive shade..this shade would go with most of the Indian traditional wear.

Pros:

1. Its quite moisturising but non sticky.
2. A shade to go with traditional wear.
3. 5 ml is a good quantity..it would last quite long.
4. Economical.
5. The shimmer can give that glossy lips !
6. Has jojoba and grape extracts.

Cons:

1. Not all Ingredients are mentioned.
2. Staying power is ok..it does not last long.
3. This shade is not suitable for daily wear.
4. Its not very pigmented..so if you have pigmented lips you need to test it first.

Overall a decent gloss..And I would surely like to check out other shades..I just wished it had a little less shimmer and would have stayed longer.

Its called the Berry Breeze Cream coz its pink and has berry extracts in Ingredients and also has that berry smell..its PA+ and has UVA and UVB barriers too alongwith SPF 20. It claims to be sweat proof and water resistant and suitable for all skin types. Its a thick pink colored cream and does get absorbed into the skin.
