Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer Review, Swatches

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer Ivory Review, Swatches

So when I did the Maybelline Dream Range preview, most of you wanted the review of the concealer first..so here it goes..

What the Company claims: The NEW Dream Lumi Touch is the first gel-based concealer from Maybelline New York. It illuminates while it conceals, delivering a natural result. Eyes are instantly brighter, awakened, and more alive! The new Dream Lumi Touch diffuses light as it conceals because of the diffusing power of concealing pigments blended with illuminating gel base. It covers any imperfections or dark circles letting you experience touch-and-go illumination like never before. The Lumi Touch Concealer comes in a revolutionary pen format for easy application on the go!

Available in 6 shades:

  • Ivory
  • Radiant
  • Nude
  • Buff
  • Beige
  • Honey

Dream Lumi Touch Concealer- Rs. 475 for 1.5ml

Application Tips:

Ingredients:

I have the shade Ivory which is obviously light for me..I guess Buff would be a good match for me..but as far as the reviews I have read most of the pale girls also find Nude and Ivory light which is kinda weird..

The twist pen packaging is super easy to use..and the product does come out easily unlike the click one Lakme Absolute Lip Last which many face a problem with..though the first time you need 10-15 twists but then second time onwards it works fine..this is such a travel friendly packaging and perfect for touch ups..

Its a runny liquid and once you apply it, it needs to be blended fast and well..it does give some whitish cast coz its a lighter shade..I am yet to check Buff though..but this does offer good enough concealing..its perfect for those medium dark circles..and the illuminating is visible but not so much that it cannot be used anywhere else on the face..I mean it does not shine through..and it can be used anywhere for spot concealing safely..

Pros:

1. Perfect for concealing medium dark circles and few spots here and there.
2. Click pen packaging is easy to work with.
3. Travel friendly.
4. It does illuminate and lifts up the eyes.
5. Economical.
6. 6 shades to choose from.
7. Stays for around 5 hours..and then starts fading a little but does stay for 7-8 hours in an AC environment.
8. Does not crease or feel dry.

Cons:

1. I am not sure how long 1.5 ml would last.
2. Not easily available everywhere yet.
3. People who prefer thick concealers and have heavy dark circles may not like it.

Overall I think this is perfect..and a must buy..I have not checked out YSL Touche Eclat yet but I have seen many girls compare Maybelline Dream Lumi to yet..so yes to an for an affordable version of YSL !!

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

Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine Lipstick Review, Swatches

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine Lipstick Coral Lustre Review, Swatches


I had told you about the High Shine Range Launch here

What the Company claims:Mirror Like colour from micro mirror pigments.Creamier Feel From nourishing Honey Nectar.

Why you’ll Love It:
See the sumptuous side of high shine.
So refined, so sophisticated…it’s sensational.
Mirror-like colour from micro-mirror pigments.
Creamier feel from nourishing honey nectar.
Now lips flaunt the most spectacular shine

Expert Tip:

Apply your lip color by starting in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.

Shades Available: 10

  • Pink Freeze
  • Disco Pink
  • Glisten Up Pink
  • Mauvilous Shine
  • Fruit Punch
  • Plum Shine
  • Dazzling Plum
  • Coral Lustre
  • Nude Glow
  • Lacquered Brown

But here only 4 shades are available: Coral Lustre, Fruit Punch, Lacquered Brown and Plum Shine

MRP: Rs. 399/- for 3.5g

These are shaped exactly like Maybelline Colorsensational..only have a steel grey packaging.

I wanted Coral Lustre from the time it was launched in US..I so loved the shade at the very instant.

Its true coral shade with some silver shimmer..and has a super glossy shine and finish..it does moisturise lips and works as a lip balm too…now a lipstick which does the work of a balm 😉

Though its sheer and one swipe is light, it can be builded..see 3 swipes..

T-B: 1 swipe, 3 swipes

Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Very creamy and moisturising..so much so that it might melt in heat.
2. Gives a super glossy shiny mirror like finish..you do not need a separate gloss with this.
3. Though the color comes up sheer in one swipe, it can be buildable.
4. It leaves behind a pretty coral pink kinda tint.
5. I liked the packaging.
6. Shimmers are not gritty.
7. Does not settle in fine lines.

Cons:

1. Staying power is average..stays for an hour or 2 without eating or drinking…though the color does not completely vanish away.
2. Its expensive for 3.5 g..compared to the Colorsensational range..its more the price and less the quantity.
3. Might not work for pigmented lips.
4. Finishes off soon.
5. Shimmers stray across lips, at times.

Overall I quite love the shade..I am a fan of corals..and such glossy colors..and it has decent pigmentation and even leaves behind a tint. If you like glossy lipsticks and corals, this is a must buy.

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I love the shade 🙂
