Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Cinnamon Bun Review and Swatches

Corals! They are one of the precious gem stones and precious colors for us girls. This beauty is one such precious colors. Let’s see if its lives up to the beauty of its color.


Price and Quantity:

Rs. 100 for 4.3 ml

Shelf Life: 

30 months

My Take:

These Elle 18 lippies come in the coolest packaging ever.. I just love that girl with all smoldering looks. The packaging is chic, handy and travel friendly. It is easy to use as well, with the twist up bottom.

This lipstick has a beautiful pinkish coral shade with orange undertones in it. It glides extremely well onto my lips and it smells like yummy bubble gum. It is an excellent nude for summer wear and office wear. It works great with warm skinned ladies as well as cool skinned girls. It’s a complete nude color for me and may wash out people with wheatish skin tones.

It is a sheer lipstick which balmy in texture and need really a lot of swipes for full coverage. You can see in my lip swatch below as well and I at least swiped for 20 times to and fro to achieve that pigmentation.

As any Elle 18 lipstick, since this is so balmy it stays for 2 hours maximum and if used with a lip gloss then stays for 3 to 4 hours. I use Elle 18 lip smoothie peach after glow to top this and that works good

 

On My lips:

 

PROS:

  • Excellent colour
  • Easy application
  • No ugly shimmers and this suits everyone
  • Looks glossy
  • Available easily
  • Beautiful safe coral for starters
  • Easy on pocket
  • This also acts as my perfect coral cream blush (Yep!)

CONS:

  • Balmy! So the staying power remain average. For the price, it is okay.
  • Doesn’t give a complete coverage.

 

Rating: 3.5/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes of course! This is a really beautiful color. They do have variants which resemble this one but still.. My best coral blush…? I won’t say pass to this one. Many girls will love this particular nude Cinnamon Bun shade if they are lovers of bold eye makeup.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Of course!

Streetwear Color Rich Lip Gloss 01 Pink Desire Review and Swatches

This is my first review on MABH and I am so excited. This baby is the most favorite of all the lip glosses I own till date. This is my perfect nude pink lip gloss. It brightens my face the best and light enough in color to be is nude on me as well. Like I said the best. Now let’s see why I gave so many stars for this.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 140 for 7 ml

My Take:

This lip gloss comes in a transparent plastic tube with black screw cap and a feathery wand. The wand is really good for application. It is a bit longer than normal lip gloss sizes that I got till now. The cap is good and no leakage

It is a light peachy pink. This gloss goes well with most nude lip sticks and works best on nude or light pink lippies. It will tone down any darker lippies and will add a super 3d effect on the lips if applied at the center. It has pleasant fragrance which is not at all over powering and doesn’t stay long. It is a lot like Elle 18 smoothies but not overpowering like them.

The lip gloss is quite glossy and extremely creamy. Don’t use this alone on lip as it settles into fine lines making it look dried up and patchy. It’s really moisturizing and it holds whatever lip stick you use for longer time.

The lip gloss stays for around 3 hours if you don’t eat or drink and moisturisation is a bit less though only for 2 or 2 and half hours. I really wished it was more moisturizing.

PROS:

  • Available easily
  • Creamy finish
  • Beautiful! I mean really beautiful light peachy pink colour
  • Beautiful safe pink for starters and easy on pocket
  • Helps in holding your lipstick better
  • Mild fragrance and easily available.
  • Makes your face bright without being over the top and also plays the nude part at the same time.. what more I can say?

CONS:

  • Moisturisation might have been longer
  • Settles in fine lines and gives a patchy look (not a con actually because I used it alone without any base here which I usually don’t)

 

Rating: 4.5/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes! It’s a must try for every one. Even dusky skinned beauties will love this one for sure.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Hell yeah. Would I skip on my perfect nude gloss? Never!
