Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Coral Shine Review and Swatches

23 Replies

Is there any  ELLE 18 products flood here? Why has everyone around MABH gone crazy over ELLE 18? Is there any discounts? Is there any coupons provided? Am I missing anything? Is ELLE 18 products that good? Shall I get something for myself? Don’t think too much girls, these are exactly the lines that was running in my mind( like the sparrows :D) when I saw all the ELLE 18 products review here. I will stop my ramblings and move on to the review.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.100 for 4.3 ml (Yay :D)

 

My Experience:

Who doesn’t love BLACK? If you, then you will surely love its packaging. Simple and smart. It comes in a simple black plastic case. It looks so girlish. The black and the pink combination takes it to the top. The bullet has a slant tip that makes the application more precise.

Coral shine looks pretty doll coral in the tube. When swatched it looks more of pink and less of coral. It has a glossy finish. It would look great on fair-medium skinned girls. Dusky girls may find it a bit neon-y. So its better to check it at the store.

I have bright wheatish skin tone and it suits me well.  A good everyday pink shade. The texture is smooth so no tugging and pulling over lips. The lipstick is well pigmented. It has a lip balm core inside the bullet. It keeps the lips moisturized until the lipstick is on. But what? The lipstick doesn’t stay more than 2 hrs. This lipstick doesn’t leave any stain behind. This lipstick can also be used as pink cream blush. Overall, nothing to complaint considering the price tag.

PROS:

  • Affordable and availability
  • Wide range of colors to choose from
  • Pretty everyday pink
  • Smooth texture
  • Moisturizing
  • Can be used as a cream blush due to no shimmers

CONS:

  • Doesn’t stay more than 2 hours
  • Ingredients list not mentioned

 

Rating: 3.5/5


Do I Recommend?:

Yes! To those beauties for wants a coral pink shade and to those who don’t want to make a hole in your pockets. 😛  Come on girls, use it as a cream blush too.


Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, the other shades.

Inglot Freedom System Refill Lipstick 10 Review and Swatches

33 Replies

Hi All,

Today I am going to show another lip refill from my Inglot lip refill collection. It is shade no.10. You might be thinking why I am reviewing so much Inglot? Hehehe.. Actually I am now in “Inglot loving phase” and I brought 10 shades of lip refill from Inglot 😀

Anyways.. keeping aside my so called phase let’s start..


Price and Quantity: 

Rs.250 for 1.2g (Now increased to Rs.300)

I brought this second one in 30 % discount.

My Take:

Inglot refill shade 10 is a lovely reddish pink which comes as usual in a cute pan which I guess everybody is familiar with it. Now, here I have a secret. I brought this pan second time as I end up first one. Yes I end up a lip refill.. So yayyyyyy!! 😀

I love pink shade, may be pink enhance my complexion or maybe I am among those people who blindly wear pinks as they are sure it will look good on them. so I am always in search of different types of pink. This particular shade is red undertoned pink. As you can see in pan it look so red that anybody would love to avoid.

In fact me too did the same but when the moment I swatched it on store I knew it that it is my kind of shade and I brought this one. On lips it look like little brownish pink which is little sad for me as there is no trace of red undertones in it but still I love the color 🙂

This particular shade is much pigmented. Yes you need to swipe just once in the lip refill pan with your lip brush and your lips get the actual color. But when fades it leaves no tint. This particular shade is satin finish, creamy in texture but never tends to bleed.

Among all lip refills I found, this particular lip color is just ideal to hide any pigmented lips and I found it look more defined and beautiful if you wear it with a lip liner. Everybody is thinking that “Whattt? You don’t wear a lip liner with your lipstick???”

I know  it is very obvious that a lipstick should be wore with a lip liner always but trust me when you use lip brush to wear a lipstick you can skip the lip liner part if your lipstick won’t tend to bleed (universal tip to wear a lipstick). Okay, coming to my review.. The lip color is matte in finish and no glitter particles present in it. Being matte it is not drying and keep my dry lips moisturized. The staying power is 3-4 hours. It transfers easily to cup which is a bit annoying and embarrassing.

Overall, this lip color is just perfect for those with pigmented lips and those who love pink ass it has the capacity to hide your pigmented lips (If you have it)

 

On My Lips:

PROS:

  • Pigmented
  • Required 1-2 swipe to get the actual colour
  • Stays 3-4 hours
  • Being matte finish it is not drying at all
  • Keep your lips moisturized always
  • Perfect for party wear specially

CONS:

  • Transfer easily to cup and glasses.
  • Leave no tint behind when wear off.

 

Rating: 4/5

 

My Recommendation: 

This shade is very good for fair to medium skin tones but dusky toned girls should avoid it wearing as it might be appear little neon upon them unless you love to wear neon shades, after makeup is something that you can carry confidently.. Right?  So if you love it then go get it  🙂

 

Will I Repurchase?:

I am already on my second refill!

Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Cranberry Review, Swatches and Photos

9 Replies

Today I am reviewing another lipstick, a multi functional one actually (well for me it does) from my Elle 18 collection. It’s my all time favorite ethnic wear lipstick and also.. My perfect cream bronzer!!!! Yes like I said its multi functional.

This beauty is my perfect bronzer just the right shade for me. It gives an amazing glow to my face s well as it contours perfectly giving me flawless features. All skin tones can use this either as a bronzer or for contouring alone if you are chalk white and wish for that sun kissed skin..

Price and Quantity:

Rs.100 for 4 ml

My Take:

This lipstick comes in a black case with twister to get the lipstick out. The packaging is chic and trendy.

Its a brick red lipstick with golden undertone. There are tiny shimmers (not sparkles guys…like that multi coloured glitter.. .nope just shimmer!) This lipstick gives complete coverage and that golden and bronze shimmers just add glow to your face like anything.

The lipstick is neither creamy nor matte. It just give a soft finish. The golden shimmers not apart from the main lipstick so you will see that the texture is extremely smooth. Few swipes alone will give amazing colour pay off. The lipstick smells amazing like all other Elle 18 lipsticks – bubble gum like.

This lipstick stays for 3 to 4 hours. Add a bronze based lip gloss and it will stay even more. As it starts to fade the shimmers remain giving a nice effect but if totally dries up it will make it look as if you have swallowed bronze glitter or shimmer particles. Its messy to remove but the shimmers will come out easily with  even a mild a face wash.

Coming to bronzer part, the shimmers work here in my benefit rather than hindering the effect like on my lips. Simply amazing! Take a fluffy brush and hold the lipstick. Swipe the brush on it to pick up some.and blend on your skin well. Ta da! Perfect sun kissed skin is yours! Don’t try this unless you know contouring properly and to use a bronzer.

On My lips:

 

PROS:

  • Excellent color and very ethnic and Indian to wear
  • Not balmy and not matte but moisturizing
  • Suits every skin tone
  • It can also be used as a bronzer
  • Imparts glow to your face

CONS:

  • Except that the dried up shimmers is a turn off on lips. Can’t find any other con with this one!

 

Rating: 4/5 (Dried up shimmers bother me a lot!)

 

Do I Recommend?:

It a must for every college girl out there with limited pocket money and too many parties to go to! 😉


Would I Repurchase?:

It is my bronzer! so of course I will 😀 but till I find a better shade.
