Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Rusty Review and Swatches

Hello everyone!

Recently I bought few Elle 18 Color Pops Lipsticks and today I am going to review one of them. I have already reviewed the Coral Romance lipstick. This one is the Elle 18 Rusty Lipstick, a superb, fantastic, awesome, beautiful, moisturizing gorgeous (Girls help me I am running out of words) lip color for all skin tones. Read on to know more!

Ingredients list:

Nothing else is mentioned on the pack apart from cocoa butter. (I actually don’t care about ingredient list when it comes to lipsticks) 😛

Price and Quantity:

100 for 4.3 ml

Availability:

Easily available in local store and of course online!

Shelf Life:

30 months from mfg.

My Take:

Packaging: It comes in a black plastic case with a animated girl pouting, the packaging is girly, simple, user friendly, travel friendly – in one word I love the cute packaging.

Color: This lipstick has a beautiful soft coral shade with orange undertones – perfect for office wear or any other occasion It goes well with Indian as well as western outfits (tried and tested on me: P)

Texture and Smell: It has a super soft creamy texture which glides on smoothly even on my not so soft lips. And the best part about this lippy is it keeps my dry lips moisturized for really long even after fading.

Fragrance: It has a sweet fruity smell which is bit irritating for my sensitive nose but thank god the smell does not lasts longer.

Pigmentation: The pigmentation is really nice and better than other lipsticks from the same range. One swipe gives light coverage which might be okay for non-pigmented lips. I have some pigmentation on upper lips so I need to swipe this for 2-3 times. But still it does not feel heavy on my lips.

Staying power: The staying power of this is far better than the other lipsticks from the same collection. It stays 2-3 hours on my lips and fades evenly without leaving any tint behind. But still my lips feel moisturized. Isn’t that great? 🙂

Maybelline Color Sensational Moisture Extreme Lip Color Windsor Rose Review and Swatches

14 Replies

Here I am with another review on a lipstick I’m currently obsessed with, Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color Windsor Rose.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 250 for 4 gm

My Take:

I always go for lipsticks having shade names like rose, rosy and pinks because they suit me well. So obviously I bought this shade ‘Windsor Rose’ because of ‘Rose’! This shade is beautiful. It’s not too dark. This is a shade which everyone should own.

I dislike the packaging. It is not attractive at all. The case has a boring brownish color. I hate to carry it around in my bag! Anyway! At least the shade is nice. The case is sturdy though and its cap shuts tightly.

The lipstick is a beautiful pink color It looks quite dark in the tube but upon application you get a lovely creamy pink color This shade can be carried off easily as it is not too dark. If you prefer darker shades you can swipe it 3-4 times to get a darker look. The finish is creamy matte and doesn’t bleed. I think this particular shade will suit fair to wheatish skin tones best. It has no shimmers. It also claims to have SPF 15 which is a plus point.

This lipstick glides on very easily. One swipe easily covers up pigmentation. I always use a lip liner along with this lipstick. This is a very moisturizing lipstick and I don’t feel the need to apply a lip balm underneath. This lipstick has no fragrance at all (You can only notice a faint smell if you keep it very close to your nose!).

The staying power of this lipstick really surprised me. It stays put on my lips for around 5-6 hours which is great considering the price. In spite of having meals in between it didn’t budge. Only the moisture goes away but the color remains intact. After sometime (around 4 hours) lips tend to feel dry. One bad thing is that the color is highly transferable.

In conclusion, this is a perfect shade for office goers. Great for a natural and day wear look.

PROS:

Affordable
No shimmers
Highly pigmented.. one swipe covers up pigmentation
Staying power is around 5 hours
No fragrance
Easily available
Lovely shade
Glides on smoothly
Creamy matte finish
Doesn’t bleed
Contains SPF 15
Doesn’t settle in fine lines

CONS:

Packaging looks cheap
Lips tend to feel dry when the moisture goes away
Ingredients list not mentioned
Cannot identify the shade easily. You have to read the label at the bottom every time.
Transfers badly

Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

I highly recommend this shade. Those of you who don’t like loud red shades can try this one. Due to its great staying power, office goers will love this lipstick.

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes I will, I love this shade.

Elle 18 Color Burst Lipstick Roasty Red Review, Swatches and FOTD

Hey people!

I am new in here in this beauty home. Welcome me with your lovely smiles and I’ll be really happy 🙂
Well, I am here to review a lipstick that can fit into anybody’s pocket. It’s a lipstick from Elle 18 color burst range named Roasty Red.

Price:

4.3 ml for Rs.100 (yeah, I’m not kidding :D)

My Take:

This is my first ever Elle 18 lipstick. I always heard mixed reviews about them. I personally felt few of these lipsticks lack pigmentation and few seemed to be too frosty to suit the Indian skin tone. But I understand that these lipsticks are being targeted on the teenage girls who like to experiment and love to wear different colors. Anyway, I chose this particular shade because I’m in the “search of my perfect red” phase. This lipstick when I tried in the store, I felt it suited me so grabbed one.

Packaging: This Elle 18 lipstick comes in a black bullet case. It isn’t that thick or sturdy. The cap seems to break easily. The cap has a girl image which is a standard on this range.

Shade: The shade roasty red is a burnt brick red which falls in between red and maroon.

The lipstick lacks a proper texture. It lacks pigmentation (you need to swipe in twice or thrice to get the colour to pop on lips). I felt this particular shade is pretty okay with the pigmentation. The staying power is average. I loved the lip balm fixed in the center of the lipstick. It moisturizes my dry lips well. The lipstick tends to melt away easily and its is so soft that it can break too. It has a weird smell which would fade away after sometime. The lipstick goes away without leaving any stains.

Swatches:
