Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 8
By Ashwini
This is my second entry for the Pucker and Pout Contest, featuring Colorbar Lip Liner in Shade 006 Creamy Nude. It is my go-to lipliner, since it is a lovely nude colour, and is pigmented enough to cover the darker bits of my lip around the edges. Here I have topped the lipliner with a colourless lip balm. 🙂
Editor’s Note: This is a perfect MLBB shade..loved the nude..definitely getting this..
Ellis Faas Milky Lips Review, Swatches
Ellis Faas Milky Lips L209 Review, Swatches
What the Company claims: Milky Lips L209 – Toffee Beige
WHAT – A long-wear, fluid lipstick that provides highly-pigmented colour, and a glossy finish that lasts overtime. Superior comfort both in application and on the lips. Plumping actives improve hydration and smooth your lips. Especially loved by women who do not like to feel lipstick on their lips.
WHY – The light texture of this highly pigmented, covering lipstick gives great definition to your lips, both as a fully covering shade, but also as a mere stain.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS – Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Candelilla Wax, Prune Seed Extract.
HOW – Apply Milky Lips with the brush applicator first by painting the lips with just a small amount of lipstick, then fully load the applicator to fill inside of the lips. Milky Lips is also great for a more stained effect: just load a tiny bit of the lipstick onto the applicator, apply and blot for a matte stain. Watch the instruction video!
A “Human Colour” and therefore suitable for each skin tone, age or style.
No scent. No taste. No parabens. No animal testing.
MRP: $35.00 or Rs.1875/-
Shades available: 9
All shades for reference…
Directions: “For a subtle look with just a trace of color, either apply a feather-light layer all over the lips or apply Milky Lips to the middle of the lips and fade it with the fingertips.”
Ellis Lips comes in three textures: Creamy Lips (L101-109), Milky Lips (L201-209), and Glazed Lips (L301-309) and all have sheer to buildable coverage and are quite pigmented.
It comes in a classic Ellis Faas silver metallic pen packaging..with a brush applicator..the base needs to be twisted some 20-25 times for the first time for the product to come out..
The formula is sheerer and lighter compared to Creamy lips..but surely buildable as mentioned above..the glossiness fades and goes away within an hour and leaves behind a matte finish..and the color even settles into fine lines..

| Used sheer |
Pros:
1. Nice packaging.
2. Easy to use.
3. Quite pigmented.
4. Buildable.
5. No animal testing or parabens.
6. Good everyday nude or MLBB shade for medium skin tones.
Cons:
1. Expensive !
2. Glossiness goes away within an hour and settles into fine lines..one needs very moisturised lips for this.
3. Difficult to locate products when all together :/
4. Availability issues.
Overall I love the shade and the fact that its quite pigmented and buildable. I do like the packaging..but as the outer body is same, gets confusing to locate..the texture and quality is sure amazing..would surely recommend..

Have you tried Ellis Faas Milky Lips ? Do you like peachy nude shades ?
Drugstore Nude Shades or MLBB shades
We all love Nude lipsticks or those My Lips But Better shades…dont we..but nude does not mean concealer shade lips which a few people think like..it just means the color closest to your lips and which looks natural on your lips or the one which looks just like you have nothing on and those are your natural lips.
Colors like MAC Fleshpot or Creme D’ Nude or Myth will totally wash out our Indian skin tones.
I am a big time fan of nudes..So I wanted to share few nude shades which I have and love…and I like to use them on daily basis as they are just perfect nudes and not OTT.
The shades which I have and love are
Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in My Mahagony..which is my most favorite..its a peachy brown shade and looks very natural on me.
Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick 132..its from the Fantasy Collection..its a brown based pink..and looks exactly like my lips…I love this too..
And my recent purchase Lotus Herbals Moist Petals Natural Haze which is again a peachy pink brown based color…a little more on pink side.
Here are the swatches..

Some other shades which I liked and recommend are
Maybelline Colorsensational Crazy for Coffee..for medium to dusky tones..its a brown based nude.
Maybelline Colorsensational Totally Toffee and Nearly There for medium to fair tones…they are more pink based.
Chambor Silk Woods..very pretty nude brown…super creamy…I love this color..and eyeing it too.
Revlon Colorburst Rosy Nude..this would suit medium to dusky skin tones more..its again a brown based pink…though it looks dark in the tube…its not so OTT.
There are a few other which I like and in high end brands too..would discuss them some time later 🙂
