Marula oil comes from the marula tree, native to Southern Africa. The oil is rich in oleic acid, essential to the maintenance of healthy-looking skin. The Body Shop trades with the Eudafano Womens Cooperative in northern Namibia, which helps women in rural communities who have very few opportunities to earn money. The trade with our company has helped more than 750 women and their families to benefit from this traditional, yet underutilized natural resource.
Ingredients : Marula oil – Is a very effective moisturiser that also helps to condition the skin over time. Also provides essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness.
Organic beeswax – Moisturises and helps to condition the skin. Acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture. Helps to keep product texture consistent when used over time.
Grapeseed oil – Is very rich in essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness.
Tips: Exfoliate the lips using our Lip Scuff one to two times per week to help keep them smooth and soft. For longer lasting Lip Colour, apply to lips and blot with a tissue, lightly dust with Loose Face Powder and re-apply.
Instructions: Apply directly to the lips, following their natural shape. Or apply using our Lipstick & Concealer Brush or Retractable Lipstick & Concealer Brush.
I liked the silver round packaging of these..and these are quite sturdy too..these are super creamy in texture..
These lipsticks are quite sheer and needs to be builded up for the color to show..but would give a very glossy sheen to the lips..the staying power would not be long as these are so glossy.
Here are some swatches..
51- Mocha (Light Peachy Brown) 56- Soft Beige (A nude beige shade) 55- Pure Blush (Its a cool toned pink) 22- Garnet (Crimson red) 30- Beechnut (Nude beige again) 53- Brilliant Red (True red)
I want to try 63 Sunset Peach and 66 Coral Splash…ok Bhumika..enough of peaches and corals !! (note to self)
What the Company claims: Instant burst of rich, true color with a featherlight feel
-Elasticolor™ technology provides immediate color release and hugs lips with a burst of weightless color that feels like a second skin
-Available in 20 gorgeous shades, including 5 new shades!
EXPERT TIPS:
Apply directly to lips for beautiful, high impact color. Can be worn with or without lipliner.
I am not sure if these new shades are available in India yet..I have not seen them anywhere yet..
MRP: Rs.580/- for 3.7g
The shade I am reviewing is 075 Peach..its a true nude peach shade with some fine shimmer…which is not much visible but gives glossy effect to the lips.
Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks have this nice packaging..a rectangular shaped black case with criss cross patterns and the color of the shade it is on top. It has Revlon embossed on the lipstick bullet.
These are very creamy and moisturising and you can easily skip a lip balm with it. They have a slightly weird smell..but not too strong or bothering.
Now I had heard mixed reviews about the shade Peach…coz it washes out some..so I was not too sure..but I loved the shade so much that I could not resist getting it and I am glad I did…it does not wash me out at all..instead it gives a soft peachy sheen to lips..and in one swipe its quite a MLBB for me !
But as its a light shade..it would not cover pigmentation if you have pigmented lips..with one swipe it gives a soft peachy sheen and its quite buildable…and with 2-3 swipes it gives you perfect peachy lips. But the staying power of these is ok..it stays for 2-3 hours without eating or drinking..and lesser with it..but leaves a tint behind.
And how it looks on me…
Pros:
1. Very creamy and moisturising.
2. These are quite buildable…and darker shades are more pigmented.
3. I love the Peach shade..and would surely recommend it if you are around NC 35-37 or below…gives a nice peachy sheen to lips.
4. This does not settle into fine lines.
5. I liked the black case and packaging.
6. These are quite sturdy and easy to carry around.
7. Has a shelf life of 3 years.
8. Feels very light on lips..you would not even feel you are wearing a lipstick.
Cons:
1. Expensive for a lipstick but though these are very good in quality.
2. This shade would not show up on pigmented lips and would wash out people above NC 40.
3. 3.7g of quantity offered is quite less compared to other lipsticks which are normally 4 or 4.2g
Overall I quite like them and love the Peach shade in particular. I am eyeing Blush next..;)

Morning sun is a warm peachy orange shade…and it can be built up with more swipes. I like the classic black soft packaging. Its very sturdy. The bullet is shaped in a semi circular form. Even though its moisturising I do need a lip balm underneath this..coz its a little matte and tends to settle in fine lines.
1 swipe
2-3 swipes
Pros:
1. I loved the soft black packaging and the case..its very very sturdy.
2. The shade is pretty pigmented and quite buildable..you can get a soft orange color to a more built up warm orange.
3. Made from natural ingredients…certified natural !
4. Staying power is quite good..these stay for 4-5 hours.
5. Color goes away evenly and not in patches.
6. And the most important..these are lead free !
Cons:
1. It tends to settle in fine lines if a lip balm is not used underneath.
2. Availability is an issue. You can buy it here but its difficult to guess the exact shade online.
3. Expensive.
Overall I do like the shade..even though its not an everyday shade for me..I love using it as a soft corally orange tint..it does not look OTT…and for girls who are above NC 40 and like peach but it washes them out..this shade would not..

All of these shades have little shimmer..but not all are OTT..I loved the shade Papaya the most followed by Strawberry and Rose Gold.
Papaya is a true coral orange with very fine golden shimmer which are not much visible or do not bother much.
These glosses are non sticky and quite moistursing. I love the long sleek packaging of these..and the applicator is such that it exactly fits the shape of your lips. They have a sweet vanilla smell.
And this is how it looks on me..
You can buy it from Healthkart..they usually have discounts on it..
Pros:
1. These are totally non sticky and very creamy and moisturising.
2. Being a gloss they are quiet pigmented and stay for a good 2-3 hours on lips.
3. Though they are priced higher than other glosses the quantity they offer is also huge..I guess no gloss offers 5.9 ml of quantity.

Have you tried Revlon CB Lipgloss ? Which is your favorite ?
What the Company claims: From dusty rose to deep mauve, our blushes will brighten up your cheeks in a soft, natural way. Monave blushes are made from a silky, sheer formula that’s easily blendable and long-wearing. These are pure pigment and can be used on the nails and lips as well.
These blushes are made from pure mica, so while the texture is extraordinarily soft, the color is concentrated. Use just a few crumbs on acotton ball or a blush brush. Make sure to tap all of the excess powder off of the brush, until there is just a faint dusting on the tips of the bristles, then gently glide over the cheeks. Very little blending is needed.
Directions: Loose mineral blushes are very concentrated and should be applied sparingly. The simplest way to apply them is with a cotton ball. Press the cotton ball onto the sifter, then tap the jar so a little bit of blush powder gets on the cotton ball. Then gently glide the color over the apples of the cheek, and blend. If you prefer to use a brush, a fan brush is the best option. A traditional blush brush isn’t recommended, as it picks up too much of the powder.
Ingredients: Mica, iron oxides, titanium dioxide, may contain ultramarine blue, ferric ferrocyanide
MRP: Full size = $13.50 for 3g Sample Baggie = $1.00
Monave Blushes are divided into four categories : Sultry Blush, Pearlescent Blush, Matte Blush and Semi Matte Blush.. I am reviewing the shade 207 from Semi Matte which is Seashell..Its a very light cool toned icy pink shade with silver shimmer..this shade is just perfect as a highlighter for medium to fair skin tones. As described these are super duper pigmented and you need just a little amount. Even using a blush brush is not recommended as it would pick up too much powder..a cotton ball is recommended..I use a fan brush and dab just a little..for those highlighted cheeks !
T-Unblended B- Blended
About Seashell : Get in touch with your inner princess as you cascade this “pretty in pink” shade across your cheeks. Pearlescent blues and slight sparkle compliment this classic pink to add a little Cinderella to your every day.
Pros:
1. It is super duper pigmented…a very very small qty is required to be used. 2. I love the shade and the fact that it can be used both as a blush and highlighter. 3. They have a variety of shades in all possible combinations. 4. Since a very little amount is required this is going to last me ages ! 5. Small and handy container. 6. Even though it has shimmer it does not accentuate the pores. 7. Super soft in texture.
Cons:
1. Guessing the shade online is difficult. 2. Availability is an issue. You can buy it here 3. This shade would not suit duskier skin tones.
Overall I am in love with this shade and love using it as a highlighter ! I would surely recommend it for medium to fair skin tones..from NC 30 to 37..or lighter with cool tones..

What the Company claims: Monave setting powders are a silky blend of the lightest minerals with just a touch of clay. Applied after foundation, the powders will aid in oil absorption, as well as add a smooth, matte, “finished” touch to your look. These powders can also be used as “face powders” for women who need very light coverage, used in place of foundation.
Recommended brush: flat-top bronzer.
Ingredients: Angel, Petal Pink, and Tawny: Serecite, iron oxides, kaolin clay,mica.
MRP : 12$ for 5g
It comes in four shades..Angel for light yellow tones, Petal for pink tones, Tawny for medium to dark tones and Translucent for all.
Angel is a medium yellow shade and good for warm undertones. I use a powder brush and blend it softly. Its super silky in texture and keeps skin matte for a decent 4-5 hours. I have combination skin and use it more on my T zone and it keeps it oil free.
Pros:
1. Its super soft and silky in texture. 2. Perfect for oily skin as it would keep their skin matte for 3-4 hours. 3. Since its tinted and available in 4 variants according to skin tones, it would not give you a whitish cast or anything. 4. Its economical and the quantity lasts a long time. 5. Has iron oxide which would give you some amount of sun protection too. 6. It does not give a caked up look and blends in nicely.
Cons:
1. Availability is an issue. You can buy it online here
I do not have any other problem with it..overall its a nice setting powder.

I am reviewing the shade Foxy Brown..its a reddish brown color..such color look nice especially on the lower lash line..they do not look harsh yet give a defined look to the eyes. Katrina Kaif generally uses a reddish brown liner on her lower lash line.
Its a retractable pencil with brown packaging and a golden cap. Its not very soft but not too hard too..kinda ok..similar to the Maybelline Unstoppable in texture. It does not glide on super easy and you might need 2-3 swipes for the color to show up properly especially on warm skin tones.

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.
What the Company claims: Monave powdered mineral makeup foundation uses a very simple formula that offers amazing coverage, a sheer, natural look, and incredible staying powder. Clean, non-allergenic ingredients help soothe inflamed rosacea, or acne-prone skin while protecting the skin from the elements.
Monave loose mineral makeup foundation is extremely versatile, and can be applied dry with a flat-top foundation brush or mixed with a facial moisturizer for sensitive or dry skin. Our mineral foundation has complete coverage and full spectrum sunscreen, and oil control properties. No separate concealer or powder is needed in most cases.
Loose mineral foundation is the purest form of foundation available. It is talc-free, chemical-free and dye-free. It is ideal for acne sufferers as it provides complete coverage of blemishes at the same time helping to heal and calm inflammations. This foundation can be used after recent plastic surgery and is the most hypoallergenic cosmetic on the market. It hides skin conditions such as rosacea and spider veins yet feels utterly weightless!
In addition, Monave loose mineral foundation has a high SPF factor and is nearly waterproof. It’s an excellent sports make-up and is also ideal for women with active lifestyles.
While it is a powder foundation, it is not drying. It seals in moisture for those with dry skin yet doesn’t clog pores for those with oily skin. It also won’t “break up” in response to oil, but remains flawless throughout the day.
And finally, the glow skin receives from the minerals takes years off of a woman’s face. Some women don’t recognize themselves.
Directions: Tap a small amount of loose mineral foundation powder into the top of your jar, and swirl your flat-top foundation or kabuki brush into it. Tap the bottom of the handle with the brush head facing upward on a hard surface (eg. bathroom counter). This settles the powder into the brush head. Firmly spread powder on clean, dry skin to evenly blend pigments. For the most natural look, start with less powder, and buff it in well, using a circular motion. For blemishes, a separate conclear is not needed. Use a shadow brush or the edge of the flat-top brush to apply small amounts to the problem areas and blend well. For those with dry, flaky skin, MONAVE loose mineral foundation can be blended with Monave cream to create a cream foundation. First, moisturize as usual, then tap a small amount of powder into the palm of the hand. Add a drop of moisturizer. Blend the two products together until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. Use your fingers or make-up wedge to apply.
Ingredients: Mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides, ultramarine blue, May Contain: zinc oxide, silica
MRP: Full Size: $19.50 Full Size Plus Refill: $29.50 Sample Size: $2.50
Weight: 9-10 g It comes in 24 shades…so there is a perfect shade for you out there..the only problem is guessing the correct shade..for that you can buy 2-3 samples of shades you think would be perfect for you and decide on the best match.
I like the fact that these are talc free, chemical free and dye free..the only problem with mineral foundations is the coverage..they never give you complete coverage if you desire that…but these are just perfect for daily wear..and non comodogenic..plus you can also use these as a Tinted Moisturiser..mixing them with a little oil free moisturiser of you choice.
T- Carloine B- Saturnina
I have the shade Caroline and Saturnina.. Caroline: Light yellow undertone for caucasian and light asian skin tones, also has a faint pink hue.
Saturnina: For Latinas, Southeast Asians, Native Americans, or light skinned African-American women. Deep, peachy yellow undertones bring out the warm tones of this complexion.
Blended
Caroline is a little lighter for me..Saturnina is a more better match..
Pros:
1. These are quiet light and good for everyday use. 2. Do not cake up or make your dry patches accentuate. 3. These would give you 3-4 hours of wear. 4. Good to top your makeup with or keep your skin matte. 5. You just need a little bit..so 9-10g would last quiet long. 6. You can layer it up for a little more coverage after the first one sets in. 7. Mineral makeup is perfect for you if you have sensitive skin or suffer from some skin problems or acne which the normal foundation may aggravate.
Cons:
1. This would not give you complete coverage…like you do need a concealer for some spot concealing. 2. Availability. You can buy it here 3. You do need a good powder brush or kabuki to use mineral foundations.
Overall decent enough. These are quiet good for daily use..and surely recommended for people with sensitive skin.
