Coloressence Liquid Lip Color Pink Tinge Review

by Manasi

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. 🙂

Avon Simply Pretty Color Last Lipstick Poppy Review and Swatches

12 Replies

Hello pretty ladies!

I am back with a lipstick review after such a long time 🙂 this time it is the Avon Simply Pretty Color Last lipstick and this shade is called Poppy. I also have Almond Beige from this range, which has already been reviewed on MABH. Although Avon has changed the packaging of these lipsticks, the shades are still the same. Old wine in a new bottle, haha!

Price and Quantity:

Rs 259 for 1.7 g

My Take:

The lipstick Poppy is a very cool toned pink shade. It is a light pink with a sheen to it, so when applied, it sets to a satiny finish. The texture of this lipstick is quite creamy which makes application quite easy. The fact that the bullet is so thin also makes it easy to apply directly onto the lips without having to use a lip brush for the corners of the lips.

But here ends the good about this lipstick. Before I start, just scroll down and have a quick look at the lip swatch. Believe me when I say that this is the BEST lip swatch I could come up with. You’ve probably guessed by now that I have a bone to pick with this lipstick. Let’s begin.

The application of this lipstick is so patchy and it is unbelievable. I swipe it once and my dark upper up barely has any colour payoff. I swipe it the second time and it somehow wipes away the colour from some parts of my lips, leading to more patchiness. The coverage is so poor that even after more than 6 swipes the natural colour of my upper lip still manages to peek through. As if all this wasn’t enough, it also settles into fine lines! And it transfers to my teeth!

From a ‘Color Last’ lipstick the first thing you would expect is excellent staying power, right? Well in that case this lipstick does not exactly disappoint but it does not perform miraculously either. It stays on my lips for about 5 hours at best, which is not bad but I was expecting better.

You can see from the swatches that this shade is washing out my skin tone. So I’d say this is buy-able only for fairer girls with lighter lips and a lot of patience (to get rid of the patchiness!).

What I like?:

Reasonably priced
Does not bleed
Satin finish
Staying power is on the higher side, though not extraordinary
Stains slightly as it fades so lips are not completely devoid of colour

What I don’t like?:

The colour won’t suit every skin tone – it doesn’t suit mine!
Not pigmented enough to show up on dark lips
Extremely patchy application
Transfers a lot onto teeth
Settles into fine lines
Available only through agents

Rating: 1/5

Final Word:

I just didn’t expect this from Avon. Even if you do manage to apply the lipstick properly, the shade in itself is really tricky to carry off. It is really annoying how this lipstick turned out because it probably would have been among my favourite lipsticks; I just love such shades of pink!

Diana of London Pure Addiction Lipstick Pink Harmony Review and LOTD

19 Replies

Hi dearies!

This is my first post on MABH so I am super excited for that and when the post belongs to lipstick (which I love the most among all makeup things), the excitement is something more. Yes, I believe that a lipstick is one of the makeup product which enhances your look to some extent. In the other word you can say ‘makeup is incomplete without a good lipstick’ Am I right or wrong? I always keep one/two lipsticks and a kajal in my purse and each time when I do my makeup shopping always looking for a good quality lipstick at an affordable price and this one what I got is totally justified.

One day when I was searching an online shopping website I saw this brand ‘Diana of London’..Then I googled about it and saw so many good reviews which tempted me to buy this one. Yes I bought it online where this particular shade is on sale so I got a big discount on it.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 525 for 5 gm (I got it at Rs 345/-)

My Take:

I told you on my above lines that how I came to buy this brand and I must say it is a ‘Love at First Sight’ lipstick. I am in love with the cute and stylish packaging of it. It comes in a sturdy metallic base with a stylish dark pink color transparent cap which makes it a little different from others and travel friendly.

It is a bright magenta colored lipstick with plum undertones. It is a very gorgeous shade and I think it will suit all Indian skin tones. It gives a perfect party look after application.

The lipstick is very soft and light on lips due to its smooth and creamy texture. The lippie is very hydrating on lips so no need of extra moisturization. A single swipe gives a perfect finish to your lips. It does not dry out my lips or settles into fine lines. I love the velvety finish which it gives after application. It has a slight vanilla fragrance which lasts for a sort.

The lipstick stays for 4-5 hours with a full meal in between. After that you can find a light tint of same color
behind it which is also good to see.

See how it looks on my lips.

Why I like?:

A perfect party wear shade and suits all Indian skin tones.
Decently priced
Nice stylish packaging and travel friendly
Gives a perfect velvety finish
Its creamy texture hydrates lips
Staying power is good
Highly pigmented
Available in 20 beautiful shades (online)

Why I don’t like?:

It is not a daily wearable shade. (excluding that I can’t find any cons on that)

Rating: 4.5/5

Final Verdict: It is a must buy beautiful magenta-toned party shade with creamy, moisturizing finish! And I am looking for some more shades from Diana of London.
