Coloressence Liquid Lip Color Pink Tinge Review

Hello gorgeous girls,
It is well said ‘Language is the wine upon lips’. I am here with a product review which will make wine taste smother. Sweeties, its Coloressence liquid lip color Pink Tinge. As the name suggests liquid lip color is quite misleading as the product is more of a lip gloss than liquid lip color. It is a baby product of Nature’s Essence company. The company promises the product to be 100% vegetarian and close to nature.

Price and Quantity: 

Rs 199 for 4 ml

Shelf life:  

3 years

My Take on Coloressence Liquid Lip Color Pink Tinge:

Talking about the packaging of the product, it is cute, intact and tight. The lip color tube looks expensive and rich. The cap as you open has an applicator wand which helps to apply the color smoothly over the lips. The gloss comes in a transparent container, so you can always buy a new one on time and ditch the shockers of empty bottle, particularly on important occasion.

The color of this product is pink with little maroon which gives it a darker shade. It has strawberry smell which is pleasant and stays for long over your lips giving them a fresh feeling. As you apply the color over your lips it gives them a sheer light color. I was expecting the product to bring more color to my lips as its name suggests ‘liquid lip color’, but it disappointed me.

You may apply two to three strokes of the color over your lips to get good color. The applicator wand gets very less gloss to apply over the lips so you need to dip in the bottle again and again to get more color.

After applying it stays for about three to three and a half hours over your lips leaving a slight ting. The gloss gives a sticky feeling to your lips. But yes if you have small or thin lips then this adds good volume to your lips. The gloss is shiny and gives a wet look to your lips which may add up to your seductive side.

It is soft and creamy and which makes it easy to glide on to lips. You may apply lipstick shades of pink and maroon color and apply this over it as a gloss to add volume, texture and tempting look to your lips.
It comes in variety of electrifying lip shades which you can team up with different dresses. 🙂

  • Pigmentation is less
  • Gives light color to lips

I would recommend this product as it gives luxurious glossy pink color to the lips and is good as lip gloss.

Lotus Herbals Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss Berry Blush Review

Hello everyone!
I’ll be reviewing now, one of the best lip glosses I’ve used till date – Lotus Herbals Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss in the shade ‘Berry Blush’. I’m a bit late on the bandwagon with this one, but it’s such a gorgeous lip gloss that I really wanted to share my love for it with you all. So here we go 🙂

Price: 

Rs 245 for 5 ml

My Take on Lotus Herbals Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss Berry Blush:

The gloss comes in a transparent plastic tube with a golden plastic cap. The cap screws on and doesn’t allow any leakages so it’s pretty efficient that way.

Berry Blush is a berry-toned pink. The colour will look flattering on pretty much all skin tones. I have a medium to fair skin tone (fair when all my tan is gone :P) and it makes my skin look healthy and glowing and my lips look fuller.

The gloss has extremely fine silver shimmer. The shimmer is not very marked or obvious, but it’s there. However, it barely shows up on the lips, as you can see from the photos. (All images are without flash so that you can see the actual colour)

The gloss has a standard doe foot applicator. The texture of the gloss is smooth and it spreads easily and evenly on application.

The finish of the gloss is not fully opaque on my lips since, like I said, they are quite pigmented (I need to stop drinking so much coffee!) however on girls with lighter lips, the gloss would give better coverage and the colour would show better. The gloss in itself is quite pigmented and a single swipe is enough to cover my lips with enough colour.

It does not feel heavy or sticky on my lips. The fragrance is pleasant. Okay you have to bear with me here. I’m terrible at describing fragrances. But the fragrance is a bit out of place. I mean, maybe you’d associate it with a powder or something instead. But it’s very mild and not bothersome at all. The staying power is quite good – about 3-4 hours. It will not survive meals though.

PROS of Lotus Herbals Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss Berry Blush: 

  • Reasonably priced
  • Decent colour payoff even on pigmented lips
  • Universally flattering shade
  • Definitely less sticky than other glosses that I’ve tried such as the basic Lakme, Avon and Vaseline ones
  • The shine is not over the top at all, it’s just right (girls who like their glosses to have a LOT of shine may be a tad disappointed with this).
  • Moisturizing (though not to the extent that you can substitute it for a lip balm)
  • Easy to apply
  • Does not feel heavy or goopy on the lips

CONS of Lotus Herbals Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss Berry Blush:

  • Won’t show up fully on very pigmented lips
  • Staying power could have been better

MABH Rating: 4.75/5


Final word: This lip gloss is pigmented, moisturizing and without doubt a value for money. 5 ml will last you a long time and it can worn in the day time or night time. It provides good coverage without being over the top, sticky or too shimmery. The lip swatch hasn’t done it justice, though I tried like crazy. All in all, it’s a must-have product!

BH Cosmetics 32 Color Lip Gloss Palette Review and Swatches

16 Replies

Hey dearies,

Today I am up with my one and only lip palette. That is none other than BH cosmetics 32 lip gloss palette. Read on to know more about the palette. Enjoy the pics and swatches!

Price:

$18.95 but BH cosmetics always offer some discounts so you can get it in lesser price also 🙂

My Take:

Well coming to the packaging, the palette comes in black matte sturdy case with printed above ’32 color palette’  The palette claims to be a lip gloss palette but I found it contains both lipsticks with satin finish and lip gloss. The palette contains four rows with 8 lip pans in each row. The palette contain different shades of pink, orange, red and a white one which when I swatched it shows white color. I guess it’s ideal for Halloween.

First Row: Starting from left the shade 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 are lipsticks with satin finish. While shade 3 and 5 are lip glosses.

Second Row: Leaving the shade 4 all the rest are lipsticks.

Third Row: Leaving the shade 4 all are lipsticks.

Fourth Row: All are lipsticks and only the 2nd shade has shimmer in it among the 32 shades and it is super pigmented!

Now you can see hardly 2-3 lip pan are glosses all the rest are satin finish lip colors. Now I would love to mention some shades that I think are very much pigmented. They are from 1st row shade no. 4, 6, 7, and 8. From second row the shades are 2, 3, and 7.  From third row 3, 5, 6, 7, 8. From fourth row shades are 2, 5, 7, 8. Rest are medium pigmented.

Here are the lip swatches of two of my favorite shades from the palette.

I brought this palette in 10 dollar offer plus shipping 12.45 dollar. As it was in offer so I can’t resist myself to get it. The palette contains some really nice shades. And not to mention it contains all shades starting from orange, pink, brown , red and even a deep maroon one which is why worth to buy. It is travel friendly as it is sleek so easy to carry while travelling. The shades are mostly satin finish and staying power is 3-4 hours on my lips. It can survive small snacks. It transfers to cups and glasses which little is embarrassing.  I wish the palette comes with a lip brush and a mirror.

PROS:

  • Travel friendly packaging.
  • Have 32 different shades in one palette.
  • The lipsticks are satin finish so not drying out your lips.
  • The staying power is 3-4 hours.
  • The palette contains mixed pigmented and medium pigmented shades.
  • There is no smell in lip colors so I guess that is good one 🙂

CONS:

  • The shades are transferable.
  • Can’t survive big meals.
  • Expensive.
  • Some shades are not for all skin types.
  • No mirror or lip brush provided.
  • Availability is an issue.

My Final Thoughts:

I would definitely say there is nothing so special in it that I would recommend you to buy it. Still if you are a shopaholic one then in offer you can grab one just like I did!
