Eyetex Dazller Lip Gloss Shade 005 Review, Swatches and LOTD

8 Replies

I have always preferred lip gloss over a lipstick for obvious benefits. The moisturisation, the tint and the glossy finish all in one.Now I have 5 times more lipsticks than glosses in my vanity. That’s a different story. All thanks to beauty blogs here. My first ever lipstick was Elle 18 Pomegranate Pie and it’s one of my HG shades. Coming to this its dazzler lip gloss in the shade 005 so let’s see what is has got.


Price and Quantity:

Rs. 75 for 4 gm

 

My Take:

Packaging: The lip gloss comes in a transparent plastic with golden screw cap with a feathery wand. The wand is really good for application. It fits easily in your palm and very travel friendly.

Colour: It is light copper in color with bronze undertones. This gloss works well with Elle 18 Cranberry and Baked peach. It has tiny bronze and copper particles. The gloss in not much tinted as you can see in the lip swatch. And it bleeds if not applied properly, or in hot weather and without anything underneath. It needs at least a lip liner and I use lakme glide on lip color in bronze glitter.

Texture: It’s quite glossy though you may feel stick after sometime. It’s really moisturizing and it holds whatever lip stick you use for longer time.  It starts fading and then you can see your lips shining without the glitter and glitter gets removed really easy with this one.

Staying power: It stays for 2 and half hours and the moisturisation for nearly 4 hours if not eaten or swallowed with anything

Fragrance: The gloss has pleasant fragrance which is not at all over powering and I really prefer this over Elle 18 smoothies. They are just over bearing sometimes.

PROS:

  • Good moisturisation
  • Easy on pocket
  • Helps in holding your lipstick better
  • Glossy finish
  • Mild fragrance and easily available.
  • It’s a shade that is festival as well as which suits for casual wear as well.
  • It will compliment every type of skin tone.

CONS:

  • Fades rather quickly leaving only the shine without its glitter which is not good for pigmented lips (This is when not used along with a lip colour underneath)
  • Bleeds in hot weather and a lip liner is a must.
  • A bit sticky after sometime and your lips feel as if they are glued together. I only experienced this once though when used it alone.

 

Rating: 3/5


Do I Recommend?:

Yes. It’s really good for the price I get. Actually it is lots better than Elle 18 ones in moisturisation part and smell. But nothing beats Vaseline when it comes to lip care.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes if I finish this one I will. I almost use it every day. This gloss gives a nice shine to my lips and its a good colour on heavy eyes day. 🙂

Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lip Gloss Shade No.110 Mirrored Mauve Review, Swatches and FOTD

42 Replies

Hello everyone!

Today, I am going to review one of the newly launched High Shine Lip Glosses from Mayelline. These glosses come in few amazing shades and the one I am going to review today is Shade No.110 Mirrored Mauve. I have chosen this shade because I wanted a good daily wear lip gloss for my dusky-dark skin tone. Let us check how it fared for me.


Price and Quantity:

Rs. 350 for 5ml

 

My Take:

This lip gloss comes in a transparent glass lip gloss tube which looks very simple. I expected the packaging to be attractive but then.. What’s there in the packaging? The product inside is important. The cap to which the doe foot applicator is attached looks classy with a silver finish. The packaging makes the lip gloss easy to use, travel friendly and handy but not much attractive in looks.

Mirrored Mauve is a beautiful mauve pink shade as per the shade name. It’s a perfect nude pink (with a hint of mauve) lip gloss for my skin tone. I am sure that this particular shade will look good on all skin tones. The pigmentation is also great compared to the other lip glosses available in Indian market today. The texture is smooth, creamy and gliding! It glides like a dream onto my lips.

I have pigmented lips and this lip gloss covers my pigmentation very well. This lip gloss has a faint candy fragrance which will not hurt sensitive noses. The fragrance disappears after application.

I could spot tiny silver shimmers here and there inside the glass tube from outside but on swatching, those shimmers disappear – which is really a good thing for me 🙂

This lip gloss feels light, non sticky and absolutely moisturizing on my lips. It stays for 3-4 hours leaving a mild tint without any food/drink intake which is a pretty good staying power.

Finally, I found my perfect nude pink gloss! And I am very very happy for that. So overall, this high shine lip gloss range from Maybelline will be a huge hit!

 

PROS:

  • A beautiful mauve pink shade
  • Universal shade! It will suit all skin types
  • A boon for dusky girls
  • This particular shade is a rosy nude for many
  • Gives a glossy, attractive finish
  • Moisturizers lips
  • Stays for a good time
  • No silly shimmers
  • Price is okay for the quantity
  • Pigmentation is awesome!

CONS:

  • There is no con except the plain boring packaging.

 

Rating: 5/5


Do I Recommend?:

I highly recommend these high shine lip glosses if you are gloss lover. I am not a gloss person in summer but still, I love the quality, pigmentation and staying power of this lip gloss. Mirrored Mauve is one beautiful nude pink shade to pair with heavy eye makeup. Don’t miss it!


Would I Repurchase?:

Yes! Once this mirrored mauve shade gets over, I will purchase the same shade again as its my perfect rosy nude. But before that, I am going to try out the other shades. Gleaming Grenadine is on my wishlist now! I may get it next week.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss Touch Of Toffee Review

22 Replies

Hey MABHians,

Have you ever had a hunt for your dream nude lip gloss? Your dream gloss would be something like this or something like that. I too had a dream about my gloss. It was like a nude brown (but not very brown) with a mild peach/mauve tint for that freshness, with less shimmers here and there or no shimmers at all, blah blah blah..

My dream was only a dream until I saw this sweetheart at the Maybelline counter. I went there to get “Hooked on Pink”, but it was out of stock. I was desperate to try something from this range. I quite liked the cranberry cocktail one, but it was a red lip gloss. Here, in Chennai if I wear a red gloss or even a red tinted lip balm and go out, people stare me as if I had jumped from an other planet. So I gave up. Suddenly I saw this shade, as usual my eyes was popping out to try the color. I swatched it, Oh my God it was exactly the same gloss which I had in my dreams. Whooooaaaa!! I was jumping up high. I brought my sweetheart home 😀 So here’s the review.

 

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 260 for 6.8 ml

 

How to Use this Lip Gloss?:

Use the wand to apply lipgloss starting in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to outer edges of your lips, following the contour of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.

 

Shelf life:

2 years

My Take:

I don’t think we all need an introduction for this brand ‘Maybelline’. It is one of the brand that gives good quality products at an affordable price. The packaging is simple and smart. It has a rectangular body with a doe foot applicator. It looks smart and chic as a lip gloss.

Touch of Toffee is a nude brown with less shimmers. I think this shade looks good on everyone. But this will wash out very dark skin tones. Fair dusky girls will love it for sure. The thing is you cant wear this one just like that. It will make you feel dull. So best to combine with smokey/heavy kohled eyes, so your lips are not going to be the center of attraction. I don’t do eye makeup so I apply it after a lip liner to make it a bit bright.

P.S: I have included the nail picture because the nail color and the lip gloss color are the same :P, also this is my first nail art , sorry for the clumsiness I’m absolutely NEW.

This lip gloss has a consistency that is neither thick nor runny. Just perfect. Its not sticky like some glosses (Yes, I’m talking to you Coloressence!) . The shimmers in it doesn’t feel gritty. It actually plumps up the lips making it look healthy. It smells very minty. Actually not bad. And funny thing is I feel a tingling sensation after I apply this, like you apply fresh mint leaves paste over your lips. It is me alone or even others? It is moisturizing actually so you don’t need a lip balm at all.

Talking about the main part, this sweetheart doesn’t stay with me for a long time. Just 2-2.5hrs without snacks or worn with a lip liner and 1-2 hrs with mild snacks. It will surely not survive meals. Just like their lipsticks 🙁 (Why Maybelline Why?)

PROS:

  • Affordable (Yaaaay)
  • Easily available
  • Stunning nude shade, beautiful I mean
  • Universally flattering shade
  • Smells nice
  • Smart packaging
  • Moisturizing (doesn’t dry out)

CONS:

  • Staying power (it is a con too)
  • Tingling sensation (I dunno if its only for me)

 

Rating: 4.5/5 (I’m sorry sweetheart its your punishment for leaving me soon)

 

Do I Recommend?:

Definitely for the shade! Every girl needs a nude shade right? To school/college teens like me, for the price tag and for girls who don’t mind touching up often.


Would I Repurchase ?:

Will I live without my sweetheart ? NOOO. So I will definitely repurchase.
