Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick - Cruise Collection Review and Swatch

Hello Pretty Girls,

I am reviewing Revlon's Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in the shade Cruise Collection.

Price: INR 650

What Revlon Claims?

It can stay put and moisturize your lips all at the same time. It has Aloe extracts and Shea Butter that keep lips emollient, and credits its long-wearing power to the brand's exclusive Colorstay formulation. It comes in 20 colors.

My take on the product:

Packaging is pretty straight forward, the clear cap is useful for finding out the shades easily. The lipstick has little bit of shimmer to it and it settles in to the fine lines of my lips. The texture is quite creamy and the lipstick stays for long time.

Cruise collection is peachy orange shade which is perfect for summer, it doesn't transfer and the pigmentation is quite high. Applying too much will lead the shimmers to settle on fine lines.

It stays intact without transferring onto cups and glasses, Its unique tacky consistency really improves its longevity, but it emphasizes the lip lines. For those who fancy rubbing their lips together often, this lipstick is a NO :/ it feels STICKY when you rub your lips together.

It dries out the lips and doesn't moisturize it at all, over layering of lipstick will make the lips look dry and patchy.

Here is a swatch of Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick - Cruise Collection

What I Love?

• Staying power.
• Transfer resistant.
• Packaging.
• Pigmentation (medium).
• Beautiful shade for summer.
• Doesn't bleed.

What I Hate?

• Shimmers settle in to fine lines.
• Feels Kinda Sticky on lips.
• Turns patchy after some time.
• Make lips look dry, need to apply lip balm underneath.
• Makeup remover is required.

Rating: 3.5/5

Will I Buy it again?

I don't think I need to, I might try out the other shades.

Maybelline Color Sensational Pink Alert Lipstick POW 4 - Review and Swatch

Hey Everyone,

Pink Lipsticks are the craziest love for all the women in the world, each girl has at least one pink lipstick in her vanity.
Maybelline New York has launched their new beautiful PINK collection and named them as "PINK ALERT".

Today I am reviewing that super cute bright neon pink lipstick in the shade POW 4.

I was very much excited and happy when I tried the swatches of POW collections in the Maybelline counter, and I was like "Yiipppeee I got my perfect PINK shade :D ".

Price: INR 375 for 3.9 grams.

Shelf life: 36 months from the date of manufacture.

My take on the product:

The packaging is almost the same like the other variants from the color sensational range, it comes with a cute transparent pink color cap. The formula is quite creamy and it glides on very smoothly, this lipstick highlights the dry/dead skin when layered which I don't like. It is just PERFECT when used as a lip tint (on a single swipe). These are mildly moisturizing and gives a glossy finish.

These are highly pigmented, stays for almost 4-5 hours on my lips and leaving a pink stain behind :/

Here is a swatch of PINK ALERT - POW 4 from Maybelline New York Color Sensational range.

What I Love:

• Moisturizing.
• Highly Pigmented.
• Doesn't settles in to fine lines.
• Gives a glossy finish.
• Creamy and Smooth.
• Price.
• Long Lasting.
• Packaging is travel friendly.

What I Hate:

• Absolutely NONE :D I just LOVE this LIPSTICK.

Rating: 4.9/5

Will I Repurchase it?

YES I will, and I want to try out the other shades from this collection. 

POW 4 is a beautiful neon pink color, if you want a super bright lip you can go for it :)

Lakme Absolute White Intense Skin Cover Foundation SPF 25 - Review

Hi Everyone,

I am back with a product from Lakme, I am reviewing a foundation - Lakme Absolute White Intense Skin Cover Foundation in the shade 03 - Golden Medium.

Price: Rs.650 for 15 ml

What Lakme says about the product:

This ultra light, oil- free, water based formula delivers naturally fair, breathable skin. Its weightless formulation hides pores, fine lines and uneven skin tone to leave skin peachy soft all through the day, It lasts up tp 16 hours without fading and has Vitamin B3 and sun protection of SPF 25.

My take on the product:

The foundation comes in a shiny grey metallic bottle which has a cute little pump dispenser, which is very easy to get the required amount of product. The bottle feels very light weight and the texture of the foundation is creamy and smooth.

It spreads and blends out quite easily.Women with dry/combination skin type would need moisturizer before applying foundation on their face, the coverage is medium to full.

It lasted for more than 10 hours on my skin (without using primer), and it has SPF 25 in it, which is perfect for summer. Shade 03 - Golden Medium is a perfect match for my skin tone. It gives natural matte finish, doesn't look oily or greasy on my T-Zone area.

• Packaging is hygienic and stylish.
