My Take on Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick Shade 129:

The packaging is just the same as it was years back during my childhood. It is packed in a plastic container. Its packaging is sturdy and its travel friendly. The package doesn’t show the shade from outside at all. So you need to open the cap and check the shade which isn’t possible always. On using it for long time, the cap may become loose slowly. I think they should change the package.

The shade 129 is simply super. I mean it is such a color that everyone can easily carry. I am a beginner at makeup and as soon as I saw this just fell in love with this shade. It is something like a mixture of pink, brown and peachy color. It shows dark in color as if it is a brown shade in the tube but when applied, it shows the peachy pink with slight brown undertone.

So you can’t judge the shade by just looking at the tube anyways. This is the shade everyone should have. This can be used on daily basis for simple look. It is the perfect shade for college and office goers. This shade simply suits all skin tones. Coming to the texture, this lipstick is smooth and creamy. It glides easily on the lips and a single swipe is just enough due to its pigmentation. It gives semi matte finish is going to make your lips look fuller.

So you need not apply any gloss on the lipstick coat. It moisturizes and doesn’t dry out the lips at all which I prefer the most. This stays on lips up to 5 hours if you don’t take any food or drink. Else you need touch ups. Also this lipstick is transferable. It easily transfers to the glass. Also don’t bite your lips. It may transfer to your teeth as well. Plus this lipstick seems to have sun protection. So go ahead. The lipstick seems to be so creamy so while applying, very light pressure should be applied to avoid breakage.

Overall I think this range is worth a try and coming to the shade it’s a must for all the beauties. And coming to the price it’s worth the price.

Why I like this Lipstick?:

Available both online and offline
Affordable
Creamy texture
Matte finish
Moisturizes lips
Pigmented
Light on lips
Suitable to all skin tones
Stays for around 5 hours (Ok not that bad)
Sun protection is available

Why I don’t like this Lipstick?:

Packaging should be improved
Doesn’t have the shade indicator
No ingredient list
Easily transferable
After meals, you need touch ups

MABH Rating: 4.5/5 (For the shade)

Will I Recommend?:

A big yes. It is good for daily use specially office and college use. Also if you are comfortable with the staying power and its transfer-ability, you can definitely try it out.

Colorbar I Define Eye Pencil Moss Green 004 Review

Hey all!
So today I am here with another colorbar eye pencil review which is Colorbar I Define Eye pencil in Moss Green. These pencils have become so popular for their staying power, quality, etc. I’ve already reviewed Colorbar I Glide pencil in Passionately Gold on MABH before. I was thinking to get a green shade and so chose this one from the I Define range.

Price:

Rs.325.00 for 1.1g

Product Description:

Rich in colour and silky smooth, the I Define Eye Pencil gives colour to the eyes in one stroke. Smudge proof and waterproof, it does not feather or bleed. Available in matte and pearly finish, it gives the eyes a flat or frosted look. Lasting up to 24 hours.

Shelf Life:

3 years

Ingredients:

Isododecane, Cerecin, Microcrystalline wax, Polyisoprene, Polymethyal Methacrylate, Hydrogenated vegetable oil, Jojoba oil, Propylparaben, Dicalcium phosphate, Lecithin, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl palmitate, Propylene palmitate, Propylene carbonate, Iron oxide(CI 77499, 77492), Titanium dioxide(CI 77891), Yellow 5 lake(CI 1940), Blue 1 lake(CI 42090), Ultramarines(CI 77007), Chromium oxide greens(CI 77288), Manganese Violet(CI 77742)

My Take on Colorbar I Define Eye Pencil Moss Green:

The product is packed in a silver colored pencil with a cap which is again kept in a paper made box. The end part of the pencil or the tail part indicates the color of the pencil which perfectly matches it. The cap is so tight and thus travel friendly. The product in it is so soft and so this should be handled carefully in order not to break it. Also this product need to be be sharpened which I really hate since lots of the product is lost during sharpening. The shelf life is written on the pencil itself so you need not keep the outer cover for it.

The shade of this eye pencil is moss green which looks something like the henna color or khaki color. It is soft in texture and applies easily on skin. On bright light it shows like metallic or slightly glittery. The shade is so good and suitable to all skin complexions.

This one is also pigmented and waterproof. Splash some water on your face and you’ll still find it there without any smudge. But sometimes you need to glide the pencil twice to show on the lids properly. This one stays on the water line as well and the staying power is so good. It stays around 8 to 10 hours and then starts fading. It settles on the skin so fast and can’t be smudged. So if you need a Smokey look, you need to be so fast to smudge it slightly. Soap water can’t remove this and so you need to clean it using a creamy cleanser and gently wiping it with cotton. The product is worth the price but yes, little costly too.

Why I like this Eye Pencil?:

Available easily
Good packaging
Travel friendly
Ingredients list is available
Nice shade
Suitable to all skin complexions
Glides easily
Staying power is so good
Waterproof
Pigmented
One or two strokes are enough
Doesn’t smudge
Stays on waterline also
Expiry date is printed on the pencil itself
Worth the price

Why I don’t like this Eye Pencil?:

Costly
Loss of product during sharpening

MABH Rating: 4/5

Will I Recommend?:

Yes, definitely. It is a worth try product and the shade is simply awesome.

Colorbar I Glide Eye Pencil Passionately Gold Review

13 Replies

Hey all.. How are you? I am today here to review an eye pencil. Everyone knows how popular these pencils are and now I too love these. I bought two shades of this range which are the passionately gold 008 and moss green 004.

Price:

Rs.350

My Take:

This product looks like a plastic silver colored pencil. Packaging just looks good and cute. The cap is tight enough and is travel friendly. But I saw that the main product inside the pencil is soft and weak. So it can break easily if you do not keep it safe or handle properly. The expiry date is printed on the pencil itself. So you need not keep the outer cover at all.

As the name says, the shade is golden color. It has some glittery look and pigmented which it also shows on the skin as well. The pencil glides on the skin easily and doesn’t smudge also. Also it is waterproof. So even if splash some water on your face, it is not going to smudge at all. The product is so smooth like a gel liner. Just glide once and you are done. You need not apply a second coat at all. Even it gives a thick layer so if you glide more than once on your eyelid, it is not going to look that good, I guess.

It definitely stays long for at least 8-10 hours and then starts fading. For oily skinnies, it may stay minimum 5 hours. Moreover it stays on the waterline for hours. Isn’t that great? The swatch pic shows how a single stroke of it looks on the skin. It gives very good look but I think this shade suits fair skins better than dark beauties. It is perfect for golden eye makeup. But if you want to smudge it for smokey look, you need to be very quick. Smudge it as soon as possible because it is going to set on the skin so fast. The problem with this product is the price though it is a worth the price. Also I hate the sharpening process. Lots of the product gets wasted due to sharpening. Not only sharpening, since it is so smooth and weak, the product tends to break while sharpening.
