REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK IN BLACK CHERRY 477 REVIEW

Hey everyone, today I am going to review the best and my most awesome and favorite shade for this time of the year its the REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK IN BLACK CHERRY.

PRICED at INR 525 these lipsticks are readily available in INDIA. Yippie!!! There are around 40 shades in the super lustrous range and exactly as the name say they are lustrous!

REVLON LIPSTICK IN BLACK CHERRY 477

REVLON BLACK CHERRY is a deep berry color lipstick which instantly brightens up the face. It looks almost black in the tube but thankfully its not so black.

REVLON BLACK CHERRY LIPSTICK SWATCH

The pigmentation is very nice, one swipe of the lipstick gives a nice cherry color on the lips, and if you want to build it up to the full extent of a dark berry look you can.
With two swipes you can get full on dark berry lips. Perfect perfect for the winter season.
The lipstick does have a sheen to it, its not matte, but if you do want  matte look you can dab a tissue on the lips and its becomes matte. The texture is semi sheen. The lipstick is creamy and is not dry at all, but if you have chapped lips its always good to exfoliate.

The color is pigmented and the formula creamy and rich so it all adds to the staying power. It easily stays upto 5 hours on my lips when it starts fading after meals. One complaint I have that this lipstick bleeds, while lighter colors are more forgiving than such darker colors so I always always apply this lipstick over a lip liner. But it leaves a beautiful stain on the lips, as it fades evenly.

REVLON SUPER LUSTROUS LIPSTICK BLACK CHERRY

REVLON makes some of the most beautiful lipsticks and over the years I have enjoyed a lot of their lipsticks. I think my first lipstick was also REVLON, dont remember the shade though. Anyways my point is REVLON makes some goof quality lipsticks and another one from this range that is a must have and I love

RED LIPSTICKS FOR HOLIDAY 2013 MY PICKS

Hola, hola!!!
I had promised for this post some time back. I love Red lipsicks is no secret to those who read my blog. But I surprised even myself when I started digging out my red lipstick stash for this post. I have 6 of these now and I know atleast 3 more than I am lusting. But thankfully after doing this post I have convinced myself to not buy another Red Lipstick until I finish atleast one of this. I know not gonna happen. But still atleast it will stop me from buying the latest M.A.C retro matte ones.
So lets begin. I will go from lightest to darkest.

with flash

in natural light

1.REVLON CANDY APPLE: I love this one. Okay this is going to be a common line for all the lipsticks. I love this because its my "no attention seeker" / "day time"Red lipstick. Its juicy and moisturizing and makes the lips look plump. I've had many asking me what lipstick it is. Here is the swatch and how it looks on me. I have reviewed it HERE

2. MAYBELLINE MAT 4: This is the latest addition to my stash. I bought it for the matte effect, but its not matte by any means. But I still love it ( get many compliments whenever I have applied this,, so gotta love it). Jokes apart, I like how it lifts up the entire face and it a perfect balance between blue and orange undertone. Its neither too dark not too light. Here is the  FOTD using this lipstick. You can read a detailed review HERE

3. MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL LIPSTICK IN FATAL RED: I got this lipstick after Lisa Eldridge recommended it in one of her YOU TUBE videos. This and one another one from REVLON Matte called REALLY RED. Girls please if any of you know where I can buy it from in INDIA please let me know. I lost mine ( very sad face) and cant find it now anywhere to repurchase.
Anyways back to Fatal Red I like this one because its not a  very fiery red, next to other red lipsticks it looks more orange. It suits Indian complexion well. Read review HERE

4. COLORBAR HEARTS AND TARTS: I have recently reviewed this lipstick, and it honestly hasnt been that long since I have bought it. But its the mattest if that is even a word) red lipstick I have. Its not too drying on the lips and is perfect for my dry lips, although exfoliation is highly recommended.You can read the detailed review along with HERE

5. RIMMEL LASTING FINISH BY KATE MOSS NO. 11: This is the most "hatke" Red, its bordering on maroon but appears on the red side on my lips. This is going to be my pick for the fall season among the reds I own. Here is the FOTD using this lipstick. You can read the detailed review HERE. And for the FOTD you can read the detailed pictorial HERE .

6. L'OREAL INFALLIBLE LIPSTICK IN REFINED RUBY: This is hands down the most beautiful RED lipstick I have or want, I love it over M.A.C Russian Red and Ruby Woo . Yes you heard it right. I have swatched it side by side with those MAC. lipsticks but still loved this one more that is why they havent made an entry yet into my vanity. HERE is the review and FOTD using this favorite.

MAYBELLINE FATAL RED 530 LIPSTICK REVIEW AND LOTD

Hello friends, I am back after a long long time and I am back with this Maybelline red lipstick called Fatal Red. First things first, I really missed all of you and this beauty world, though I was not completely out of touch, I was some what active on Facebook. I went to visit my parents and took some time off blogging and I came back and realized I had my camera there and then Diwali and then I was not keeping well, am still not in perfect health...anyhoo..I am back now and here is my post on the most beloved budget friendly RED LIPSTICK ever...its the most talked about red lipstick ...Fatal Red.
Now you all know by this time I have a weak spot for Red lipsticks and smokey eyes. This lipstick has been in  my collection for a long time....I have enjoyed this a lot, though its not my favorite. But its a good budget lipstick to have in your collection.. Why?? Read on.

maybelline fatal red lipstick review and lotd

To begin with its PRICED at INR349. or $7.49 USD . I would say its a good budget lipstick from a drugstore brand and it easily available.

COLOR: Well to me its really very difficult to describe colors in general, and top it off with so many shades in the same color....to the best of my ability MAYBELLINE FATAL RED is a true red color its not blue neither is it orange based, its just red. What I love about this lipstick is that depending on the lip liner I choose underneath it I can manipulate the redness of the lipstick.

maybelline fatal red lipstick review and lotd

TEXTURE AND PIGMENTATION: FATAL RED is a creamy smooth lipstick. It glides on the lips effortlessly. The formula is creamy although not buttery as Revlon Lip butters. The pigmentation on the lipstick is somewhere in between, its decently pigmented, one swipe and you do get the color full on, but I would say one swipe it doesnt make it completely opaque. You do need two swipes to get the full effect, but it also makes it wearable during the day time.

STAYING POWER: Maybelline color sensational range lipsticks are not known for their staying power and same holds true for this lipstick. It barely stays for 3 hours at a maximum and then starts to fade, being a pigmented lipstick it doesnt completely wear off though. FATAL RED stays put a good three hours. 

OVERALL VERDICT: I am in love with lipstick , its a no fuss completely gorgeous red lipstick. And for someone who is venturing into the red lipstick world, its a perfect start. The staying power could have been better, but he Maybelline doesnt claim it to be a long lasting lipstick either. So overall I would give this lipstick a thumps up and go ahead and recommend it to all and sundry!! Here is how it looks on me.

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!

COLORBAR VELVET MATTE LIPSTICK IN HEARTS AND TARTS REVIEW

Hey everyone,
Today is a RED HOT LIPSTICK KIND OF DAY.
 I was feeling tired today and I knew just what I wanted to perk up my spirits an amazing RED LIPSTICK. I love red red red! It is truly said that there is a red lipstick for every woman! And I truly feel that every girl should absolutely and truly own one red lipstick (at least).

Even if you feel you cant carry it off just buy one and try it on. Apply it just at home get comfortable with it and then when you will be showered with compliments you will yourself wear it outside with all the confidence in the world. COLORBAR VELVET MATTE LIPSTICK is the perfect budget lipstick to start off with.
Today I am reviewing the lipstick HEARTS AND TARTS from the VELVET MATTE range.
I am falling "Dangerously in Love" with this range.
Okay so lets begin with the details on PACKAGING ,it comes packaged in a silver cylindrical bullet with a transparent cap and on the other end you can see the color of the lipstick which helps identifying the shade of lipstick. So full marks on packaging.
Priced at INR 275 These are a steal! But these are now almost discontinued. So grab your favorite ones while you still can.
Hearts And Tarts is a beautiful red which is on the darker side and not a bright red. The color is a winner across all the complexions, its going to look good on everyone.

The lipstick glides on effortlessly on the lips, being a matte finish lipstick I expected it to be dry, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found it to be so smooth and non drying on the lips. It is definitely not a moisturizing lipstick (its not possible for it to be matte and hydrating at the same time) so its better to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before applying this if you have dry and chapped lips. I found it a tad bit more drier than the other lipstick I have from this range, Over the Top.

Pigmentation wise too I was pretty impressed with the lipstick, one swipe and your lips are covered. You get an opaque pigmentation only in one swipe, although I personally like to build up the color for a darker looking red lip.

The staying power on this lipstick is pretty decent. It easily stays on my lips for 5 plus hours without fading and bleeding and also fades out evenly and despite having dry lips it didnt settle onto the fine lines.
What more can I ask for. It delivered more than I asked it to.
Its a lovely color and the best budget lipstick with high end quality! Go for it girls you wont be disappointed.
Here is how it looks on me.

Do you own any lipsticks from this range? If you do then please suggest me few more! I have Over the Top, and I am eyeing Peach Crush.
P.S : I recently reviewed another lipstick from COLORBAR called OVER THE TOP

Until next time...

MY MLBB LIPSTICK MAYBELLINE PARK AVE. PEACH :LOTD AND REVIEW

Hello everyone! I was going through my lipstick stash arranging it swatching them all, its total bliss I tell you. And during this session that I rediscovered my MLBB (My Lips But Better)Lipstick again. I forgot all about it .I had stopped using it and remembered how much I used to like it. So here is a quick review on the same.
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks are the best budget lipsticks.
Cute packaging in a square silver bullet with a deep maroon cap with the name on the other end.
These lipsticks are reasonably priced at INR 375.

This color is exactly as is described its a peach soft coral shade. Perfect for everyday use. Its a no fuss lipstick for me.

Sadly it doesnt last too long , after 3 hours its completely off my lips but its creamy in texture and glides on the lips effortlessly.

Its hydrating on the lips and is very light weight, you wont feel you have lipstick on.

The color is on the sheer side but is buildable. I like how it looks soft and sweet on the lips. Not too light not too dark, perfect to use for everyday and perfect for even darker smokey looks.

Here is how it looks on me!

What is your MLBB shade? Do share in the comments.
