COVERGIRL LIP PERFECTION LIPSTICK IN ETERNAL 350 : REVIEW AND SWATCH

Hey everyone!
So officially we are into the fall season and hence most of the posts are going to cater to the colors and looks appropriate for the season in sync with the latest trend ( not really).
But yes most of the looks and reviews will center around the mood of the season. So this post is on COVERGIRL lipstick which I know is going to get a lot of use this season. Its called ETERNAL, and like the name suggests the color is an eternally flattering.

PRICE: $6.99 USD, and an outrageous price of 1600 INR on snapdeal.

PACKAGING: I love the packaging on this lipstick, the metallic feeling gunmetal color in a square shaped bullet fives this lipstick luxurious feel like that of a high end lipstick. At the end of the bullet there is a transparent casing through which you can easily see the color.

COLOR: Ooo..The color is a deep fuchsia with blue undertones bordering on magenta and yet not quiet so dark.
If you want get into the fall mood and are not ready to dab the darkest/goth lipstick there is its a good lipstick to start with. Its still bold and seeks attention though not screams attention.

TEXTURE: This lipstick is creamy rich and glides on the lips effortlessly. Its on the creamier side but doesnt slip, though you will notice some bleeding if you apply it without a lipliner. So a quick tip to avoid bleeding with this lipstick would be to line your lips first.

PIGMENTATION: Its insanely pigmented. Just one swipe gives you a perfectly opaque finish. All the lip swatches in this post are just one swipe. You can definitely build up the color as deep as you desire.

STAYING POWER AND PERFORMANCE:  I have compared these lipsticks to the Maybelline colorsensational range earlier , the texture and pigmentation is very comparable along with the price range( in USA).

But where these lipsticks score over Maybelline's are in their staying power. Where Maybelline disappears after 3 hours me these stay a  good 4 to 5 hours before they start to fade.

So overall I love this lipstick, I was ecstatic to find COVERGIRL products on Snapdeal, but the prices are such downer. Its a drugstore brand lipstick and I can neither justif nor suggest anyone to spend INR1600 on this one. But if you can shop from the USA, then its worth a try. I am certain you will love it.

UNTIL NEXT TIME..
 P.S.: I have reviewed anoother lipstick from this range its called HEAVENLY.
You can read the review HERE

P.S.: I shall be posting EOTD and hopefully FOTD for the festival season. I shall be concentrating more on bronze, gold and copper eyeshadows. So look out for those posts!!
Bye!

COVER GIRL LIPSTICK IN 260 HEAVENLY REVIEW

Hello hello,
Anybody there???
I know I have been slacking again with my posts but honestly I was kind of blocked as to what should I put up next on my blog. And I even did a few makeup looks( which will follow this post) but I was just not doing any justice in the writing department..See  I am blabbering away again...
So for this post I decided to stick to a lipstick review I have been wanting to share for some time.
COVERGIRL is a USA based cosmetic brand and is most famous for their mascaras among other things in the beauty circles. I happened to try and like few of their lipsticks so I am  reviewing one for you its called heavenly. Heavenly is a light pink/peach shade appropriate for daily wear.

PRICED at USD $6.99 this lipstick comes packaged in a gun metal kind of chrome finish lipstick tube.
Once can see the color of the actual product at the base of the lipstick which I like, its always good when you can see the color without having to open it.
And it snaps shut securely making it very travel friendly.

TEXTURE wise this lipstick is creamy and glides on smoothly over the lips and gives an even coverage on the lips doesnt settle into the fine lines of the lips, and Covergirl claims it to be very moisturizing and nourishing for the lips. It is indeed very moisturizing on the lips, but as always for girls with very dry and chapped lips I would recommend exfoliation or at-least prior moisturizing of the lips. It doesnt substitute a lip balm.

PIGMENTATION of this lipstick really impressed me, I need not go over twice with this lip color over my lips to get an opaque finish, and on top of it the lipstick stayed on my lips longer than I expected. A good four hours and that too it left a stain on the lips thereby not completely being washed away, unlike the Maybelline  ones.

SCORE!!!
So overall I am pretty impressed with this lipstick. Heavenly is a shade which is wearable on a daily basis but would definitely wash out the duskier beauties, for a day time look, it can very well be paired as a n*de shade on a smokey look. Here is how this looks on me without and with flash respectively.
