COLORBAR VELVET MATTE LIPSTICK : OVER THE TOP

Hey girls!
I am in good spirits today writing this post on the weekend after a relaxing day and an even more relaxing evening. And yes you read the title correct, even I finally jumped the bandwagon aboard with everyone else!
This is my very first purchase from Colorbar, and honestly I wouldnt have bought it had I not read all the fantabulous reviews and seen the awesome swatches online.
You might have seen this lipstick in the haul post I did and I kept it somewhere and forgot about it then my bestie asked me during our chit chats howz the new lipstick you got and I was like I got a new lipstick?
Then after a hurried search I found it.
So here is my review on it.

When I went to buy this I had in my mind 3 to 4 more shades to buy but the SA was too terrible, didnt know the price the shades the names nothing! So after much confusion I left the store with only this one. I am pretty happy with the color, its different than my other lipsticks. Just that makes me more happy and content about my purchase that I didnt buy  lipstick similar to one I already own.

Its PRICED at around 250-300 INR depending on where you buy it from.

The COLOR  is a bit difficult to explain because it looks completely different on my friend than it does on me, but from what I gather its a mix of pink and coral( more coral) with brown undertones.
I hate browns, but this is not absolutely not brown in any way or form.

It looks pretty deep here in the tube. The packaging is quiet nice, its comes in a silver cylindrical tube with a plastic cap. and the bottom also has a transparent section where you can see the color. For the price range I didnt quiet expect decent packaging but I am impressed with it, it doesnt look cheap at all.

The TEXTURE of this lipstick is a bit on the thicker side but it glides on the lips effortlessly. It doesnt tug or pull on the lips, in-fact it was so smooth I thought it wont look matte, because matte lipsticks are supposed to be a bit drying.

 The PIGMENTATION is superb one coat and its opaque. You need not use it twice.

The color is different on the lips from the tube, it looks darker in the tube.

The staying power is amazing too, it lasted a good 5 hours on me, despite a meal ofcourse there was some feathering but other than that I love its staying power and the FINISH is matte matte means matte.

 Here is a sort of FOTD on me wearing this lipstick on my lips. I am loving the color on me. What do you guys think?
The other lipstick that I absolutely love from this range is the
So that is all for this review. 
UNTIL NEXT TIME..
