Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Obsessed Orange Review and Swatches

20 Replies

Hey All!

Colorbar Velvet Matte lipsticks are affordable, with great staying power, and the colors are rumored to be inspired by many dupes of bigger, better brands. The brand brought out a color in their velvet matte range that was the hot favorite of all beauty blogs last year and was instrumental in starting off an Orange craze in the Indian beauty blogsphere.

Within a month, the color was all over the place, sold out on a number of portals, and was being sought after by virtually every one. After using the color Obsessed Orange for nearly a year, here is my review.

Price and Quanity:

Rs. 250 for 4.2 gm

 

 

My Take:

Colorbar has a standard transparent silver packaging with a shiny band of color at the bottom of the package, which makes it very easy for us to find it. In case you are wondering, the shiny band at the bottom can be detached, and about half a gram of the lipstick is embedded there.

So if you have hit the bottom but still have a few days to go before purchasing another one, just open the bottom and start application. It is quite travel friendly, and although the plastic gets scratched a lot, otherwise nothing has happened to it in the extended stay inside my travel bag.

The name, Obsessed Orange, brings to mind something neon, and the color is frighteningly so in the tube. However, when you first swatch it, you would be pleasantly surprised to see a much more controllable medium opaque creamy coral orange color, without glitters or shimmers, which glides on easily.

I have seen that the color looks great on those under NC 43, but with careful application with an eye to not let the color build up too much to look patchy or chalky, it can be used by many. I generally put on one swipe of it on my lips, and it spreads on a semi sheer note. I like that a lot. It bleeds slightly, so I would suggest lining your lips before application.

Staying Power: The staying power, without eating and drinking, is about 4 hours, which is pretty decent for the price and my lips do not look patchy or dry, as it does after I apply some other colors from much more well known and expensive brands (Yes, MAC, I am looking at you!).

 

On My Lips:

 

PROS:

  • Lovely color
  • Travel-friendly
  • Does not dry out my lips
  • Staying power is good
  • Inexpensive
  • Available quite easily
  • Buildable color

CONS:

  • Bleeds slightly

 

Rating: 4.5/5


Overall views: 

I am very happy with the color itself and would recommend it to those who want to use a lovely coral
orange color in this season.

Inglot System Empty Palettes 5 Rounds Review and Photos

9 Replies

Hey friends,

Today I am going to review something different.. not a lipstick or any makeup product.. Ahh ! I guess my title tells everything. So let’s get started. I am reviewing the Inglot Palette in 5 Rounds.


Price:

Rs.850 (The new one)


Small Pallete: 

Rs.350

My Experience:

You must be wondering why I am putting pictures of two palettes? I admit both are freedom system and round 5 Inglot palettes but there are few differences which I am going to show you today.

Okay in the first picture you can see both the palette carton are same but differ in sizes. Yes they vary in length. Well, both the palettes are different in looks too. The small palette costs me Rs.350 which I brought some ages ago.. while the large palette with the translucent lid with Inglot printed on it costs Rs.850 which I grabbed recently in mother’s day offer that was going on in Inglot.

Both the palettes come in matte black case.

The small one comes in with a black sturdy case with a mirror and a space of lip brush holder along with the 5 empty round spaces for Inglot refills. This palette is light in weight, easy to handle and travel friendly as it has mirror in it and a lip brush holder 🙂

The second palette comes with sturdy translucent lids with magnets in it that hold the pan right on its place. The magnets are so strong that the lid won’t be moved unless it is moved manually. The lid fits with the pan due to strong magnet in it. The translucent lid with Inglot printed in it is a very cute packaging but I found it little heavy in weight while comparing with the other palette.

The empty palette comes in 3, 5, 10 empty spaces (at least I saw these three palettes in (Kolkata Inglot store)

 

Now My Like Among Two:

Definitely I like the small palette with mirror in it as I found it more travel friendly but I guess these palettes are now changed in to the that bigger one with translucent lid and they increased its price.


Rating: 4/5


My Recommendation:

I admit the empty palette of Inglot is pricey but if you have one then you can customize this palette like your wish which I found being fun to do during travelling by changing the refills. Go get it!

Inglot Freedom System Refill Lipstick 53 Review and Swatches

23 Replies

Hey friends,

Today I am going to review Inglot Freedom System Refill Lipstick in Shade No.53 from my loads of lip refills that I brought recently from Majorbrands, an online shopping store.


Price:

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


Availability:

The inglot refill lipsticks are available online store at Majorbrands.

My Take:

The Inglot lip refill comes in a small cute pan. The lipstick in shade 53 is lovely neon pink. It is easy to carry while travelling as it comes in cute plastic case in which the lip refills remain secure. You can use the lip refill keeping it in the plastic case (which you will not found in my picture as I removed it to keep it in empty palette).

The smell of the lipstick is fruity which fades away after sometime. The texture of the lipstick is creamy in nature but when applied on lips it turns out to matte which is not drying at all. The lipstick is quite pigmented, 1-2 swipes with lip brush is enough to get the actual color. Being creamy in texture the lipstick tends to bleed a little which can be avoided if applied with a lip liner. The color stays for 3-4 hours which I think is fair enough comparing to the price.

The lipstick survives small snacks and drinks like tea and cold drinks but can’t survive big meals and leave no tint behind. The lipstick is easily transferable to cup and glass which is the only drawback I think.

PROS:

  • The lip refill is very handy to use
  • Easy to carry while travelling
  • Lip refill comes in a plastic case that can be used to keep lip refill securely
  • Pigmented
  • Stays 3-4 hours.
  • Survive small snack.
  • Affordable price.

CONS:

  • It can’t survive heavy meals
  • Easily transferable to cups and glasses

 

Rating: 4/5

 

My Recommendation: 

These lipsticks are quite affordable and has many shades to choose. There are loads of shades for fair to dusky skin tones so I think everybody will get their shade of choice. And being compared to the prices the lipsticks are so affordable that at least one should be there in your lipstick kitty!
