Avon Nail Pro Nail Polish Sweet Mint Review, Swatches and NOTD

Hi All!

Again I am here with one more nail polish review and this time it is from the brand Avon. Avon is a very well known cosmetic brand among all of us. Actually I had owned this nail paint at one of my fellow blogger’s space. I must say it is a very pretty shade. Most of us loved bright color nail paints and this one what belongs to that group. Well read the below lines to know more about it.

Price:

Rs.119 for 8 ml

My Take:

It comes in a regular square packaging which is quite sturdy. It has a good quality applicator which gives opaque coverage after 2-3 coats.

Sweet mint stands for something related to green and that’s what the nail polish shade is. It is a very bright parrot green color. The texture of the nail paint is very thick and creamy but still needs 2-3 coats for best opacity. Due to its thick texture I found it a little difficult to get the even application.

All points are good but the biggest problem with the nail polish is that it doesn’t dries quickly. When you apply the first coat it is okay and dries quickly, but in the second coat it is a headache to dry. You have to wait for at least half an hour or more and after applying 2-3 coats it looks so tacky. I personally don’t like it.

The staying power is very low. After 1-2 days the nail paint starts chipping from the top, but if you apply with a top coat then it may last for a day more. Anyway come to the up and down points of it.

Likes:

Nice eye catching color
Affordable price
Sturdy Packaging
Good quality applicator

Dislikes:

It takes long time to dry completely.
Only Available at Avon consultants

Rating: 3/5

Final Verdict:

If you want to try some different shades, then it must be a try one.

Hello everybody!

Today I am going to review Lotus Herbals Botanical Lip Gloss in shade Candy Floss. Lotus Herbal seduction botanical lip gloss is a unique, high gloss lip care formulation with a non-sticky feel. It is enriched with botanical extracts of Grapes and Jojoba that make lips soft and supple for long.

The unique product qualities are ‘The sponge brush applicator for smooth even application and the freedom to use as top coat without affecting lip color’ This is what the company claims.To know whether it is a worth buy or not, read the below lines.

Active Ingredients:

Jojoba Oil: Jojoba helps promote healing of the skin. Its antimicrobial properties in addition to the chemical composition that closely resembles skin’s natural sebum, makes it easy to absorb and non-allergic even in the most sensitive individuals.

Grape Seed: The antioxidants in the oil are known for their health giving properties and are more powerful than vitamin C and vitamin E.

Price:

Rs. 245 for 5 ml.

My Take on Lotus Herbal Seduction Botanical Lip Gloss Candy Floss:

I love wearing lip glosses in my daily life because they keep my lips moisturized all time and when that is from a herbal range, then sone pe suhaga 🙂 One day while I was searching some online sites, found this one.The name Candy Floss tempted me to buy.

Then as usual I searched some reviews of it and luckily got some good ones. After that not wasting a single minute booked an order. When the gloss came to my door step I immediately applied and my expression was like ‘Wow.. Such a good lip gloss!’

This lip gloss comes in a transparent plastic tube with a sponge applicator. The applicator is very steady and give a smooth and even coverage. Candy Floss is a very sweet pink color gloss with tiny fine shimmer in it. When I applied, it leaves a tint of color on my lips. This gloss is neither opaque nor sheer. The texture is non-sticky and not so thick which I really like. I personally don’t like sticky and heavy glosses to wear daily. It has a very sweet vanilla fragrance which lasts for a while. It moisturizes my lips well and doesn’t feel heavy on lips. It lasts for a good 4-5 hours on my lips without having a meal in between.

Overall it is a good herbal lip gloss which is pocket friendly. Even I apply it over my nude/pink lipstick to add some additional shimmers into it

What I like about this Lip Gloss?:

Nice pink color
Budget friendly
Good quality applicator which gives smooth and even application
Doesn’t feel heavy on lips

MABH Rating: 5/5

Have you tried any other lip glosses from Lotus Herbal ?

Colorbar Nail Color Sizzling Pink Review and NOTD

Hi All!
I am here with my second post on MABH. I love applying different shades of nail paints whether it is branded or non-branded (does not matter for me). I used to have long and well shaped nails but now-a-days I have to cut my nails for my new born baby. okay now come to the product i.e. Colorbar NP ‘Sizzling Pink’.

Colorbar is a very familiar brand among all of us and the name of the NP indicates that it’s a shade of pink. If am not wrong, pink is a color which each girl wants in her wardrobe and for me pink is one of the bright and eye soothing colors which brings a cheerful mood. I love everything pink in my makeup wardrobe especially.

So let’s come to the detail review.

Product Description:

The Colorbar Nail Polish is a simple one stroke application and fortifies the nails while giving them a high shine and intense color. It is fast drying and chip resistant. It does not yellow the nails and is long lasting. It is just what you need to make your hands look salon perfect!

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 110 for 9 ml

Availability:

Available at all colorbar stores and also online (I bought it online)

Shelf life:

2 yrs from mfg.

My Take on Colorbar Nail Color Sizzling Pink:

This nail color comes in a typical square shape glass nail paint bottle with a black sturdy cap which makes it travel friendly. It has also a good quality applicator. The NP is bubble gum pink in color. The texture is neither so thick nor so thin. Its just easy to apply.

Two coats are enough for the full opaque coverage. The glossy finish of it brightens my fingers a little and I love it.

Then when it comes to the staying power, I will say it is okay-okay type. After 4-5 days (maximum) it starts chipping from the top (I do all my household work) If you apply a top coat on it then it may stay for some more days.

At last I must say it is pretty good according to its quality and quantity. See the below pictures and say how it is looking on my nails.
