My Take on Lotus Herbals Pure Colors Lipstick Pink Blush:

I just cannot do without a lipstick. I’m addicted to it. I’m not a lip gloss person as lip glosses do not stay on long and are sticky. Also I don’t need that extra shine on my lips as my facial skin is super oily (that’s enough of shine!). So I prefer matte or satin finish lipsticks. Here is a review on a shade which will be loved by all and is personally by favorite.

The lipstick case is gold and beige in colour. The packaging is okay. Not great though. The gold colour of the inner tube fades away after some time. The cap shuts tightly and is thus travel friendly.

The lipstick has a faint fragrance which is not bothersome at all. It goes away soon after application.

Pink Blush is a warm pink colour with mauve undertones. It does look very dark in the tube, but on the lips it shows up as a medium toned lipstick. It glides on smoothly. Everyone loves such lipsticks which are smooth to apply. It has no shimmers and the finish is somewhat matte and slightly glossy. This shade is very pigmented. Just two swipes will give you opaque coverage and hides pigmentation. It may show up slightly different on pigmented lips. I prefer applying a lip balm underneath as it is a bit drying but you won’t be bothered much about the drying part.

It stays put on my lips for around 3 hours and after that fades away evenly and leaves behind a pinkish tint. Considering the affordable price, the staying power is okay. I like the fact that it doesn’t settle in fine lines and doesn’t bleed at all. I always prefer using a lip liner.

This shade will suit everyone from fair skinned to dusky skinned. You don’t have to worry about this shade not suiting you. This is a very affordable product and perfect for daily use. Office goers can wear this shade without any worries (definitely not a loud shade). In fact anyone can pull it off! Right from teenagers to middle aged ladies.

I apply a light coat of foundation on my lips to act as a base. This helps to even out the color  Always remember to remove the excess color from your lips. Blot your lips with a tissue to absorb the excess colour and apply a second layer of the lipstick. Your lipstick will stay on longer if you fill the whole lip with a light lip liner. Darker lip liner will darken the look of your lipstick.

PROS of Lotus Herbals Pure Colors Lipstick Pink Blush:

  • Affordable
  • Very pigmented
  • Staying power is around 3 hours
  • Doesn’t settle in fine lines
  • 100% vegetarian
  • Doesn’t bleed
  • This shade will suit all skin tones
  • No shimmers
  • Available in 22 shades to choose from
  • Travel friendly packaging

CONS of Lotus Herbals Pure Colors Lipstick Pink Blush:

  • Packaging can be improved
  • Cannot identify the shade easily if you have many lipsticks. You have to read the label at the bottom every time.

MABH Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend Lotus Herbals Pure Colors Lipstick Pink Blush?:

Yes! This shade is for all. There is no harm in trying this one. Office goers will love this shade for everyday use. I also own Lotus Herbals Pure Color Lipstick in Red rose Shade which is another lovely shade that can be worn daily.

Would I Repurchase Lotus Herbals Pure Colors Lipstick Pink Blush?:

Not sure, as it will last long and I would like to try out other shades from this range.

Elle 18 Color Pops Lipstick Coral Romance Review, Swatches and FOTD

18 Replies

Today I am going to review the most affordable lipstick available in Indian market, of course an Elle 18 one. Elle 18 has recently launched few new shades and this is one of them. Keep reading to know more about the Coral Romance lipstick from Elle 18 Color Pops range.

Price: 

Rs. 100 for 4.3 ml

My Take:

Packaging: This Elle 18 lipstick comes in a black plastic case with a animated girl pouting. The packaging is girly, simple, user friendly and travel friendly. In one word I love the cute packaging.

Color and Pigmentation: This lipstick has a beautiful bright coral shade which every girl would love to have. The best thing about this lipstick is that it gives matte finish and it is free from any kind of shimmer.

The lipstick is extremely moisturizing but the pigmentation is not so good. 2-3 swipes are needed to show the original coral color on pigment free lip.s On pigmented lips this color won’t look good.

Texture and Fragrance: This lipstick has a super soft creamy texture that glides smoothly even on my not so soft lips. It has a sweet fruity smell which is bit irritating for my sensitive nose but thank god the smell does not last longer.

Staying power: As this Elle 18 Color Pop lipstick is extremely moisturizing and creamy it does not last long on my lips. It stays only for 1-2 hours maximum but at 100 INR we can’t really expect more 😛

Overall it is a super pretty shade for fair to dusky skin beauties. if you are a dark skinned beauty then you can give this a pass and go for any other shade from heir range 🙂

My Makeup Look: 

PROS:

  • Coral romance is an extremely beautiful shade.
  • The lipstick is Inexpensive
  • It has a moisturising formula
  • Elle 18 lipsticks are easily available
  • The packaging is nice.
  • The lipstick smells okay
  • Gives a good matte finish
  • It is a shimmer free lipstick

CONS:

  • Staying power of this lipstick is not so good
  • Might not suit dark skinned beauties
At this price I cannot think of any other con.

Elle 18 Color Bombs Color Burst Lipstick Spice Ginger Review

20 Replies

Hello lovelies,
For this review I wanted to add some colour and spice unlike my other regular reviews. So, here I am reviewing a lip stick. Yes, I am again having quite some time on my hand and so I am showering reviews here on MABH. Back to the point, today I review a lip stick from Elle 18 color pops in the shade no. 11-Spice Ginger. Hang on all you lippie lovers out there and let’s see how this one fares…

Price & Quantity:

Rs 100/- for 4.3 ml

 

Shade:

Shade no. 11-Spice Ginger

 

Key Ingredients:

Cocoa butter. That is what the company claims!

 

Shelf Life:

30 months from the date of packaging

My Experience:

Packaging: I am sure all of us here are well acquainted with the chic black plastic tube packaging of Elle 18 lip sticks especially the hot pink lip stick sporting bobbed lady on it. I simply love her 🙂

Color, Texture and Pigmentation: The colour is very light, almost sheer. It is a nude brownish colour that will suit those with really light skin color and pink lips. It is a 100% daytime color.

The consistency is very soft and more like a lip balm probably because of the white centre. Easily glides onto the lips. It has a very artificial fruity fragrance to it that irritates my throat.

How it works: From the swatch one can see how pretty and sheer the colour is. I feel that no matter how many swipes one does the colour pay off will be the same. It is a perfect daytime wear and maybe for a small evening out with friends. However this colour will not do any justice to those with pigmented lips as is my case. It is a very moisturizing lip stick and will not settle in the lines.

Now it also comes with these shimmers 🙁 I for some reason run away from them. They are a big turn off for me in lip products. Imagine your lips looking like a disco ball!?? The shimmers wont restrict themselves to your lips  but spread far and wide to make its presence felt all over your face. The staying power too is very minimal of about 1 to 2 hours at the maximum and that too without any meals.

So overall this particular shade could be a hit with most ladies but unfortunately not so with me. I cut it up and used it with some other unused lipsticks and made a lip gloss (DIY). BUT, the shimmers destroyed it for me there too 🙁

 

PROS:

  • Its affordability
  • Its availability
  • Packaging is cute and chic 🙂
  • Very moisturizing
  • It is a pretty and light colour
  • It is a perfect daytime colour
  • Will suit light skinned ladies
  • Those with light pink colour lips can rock it

CONS:

  • Colour pay off is not very good
  • Does no justice to those with pigmented lips
  • HAS SHIMMERS!!
  • Staying power is very minimum



Rating: 1/5 (But this is my personal rating)

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes I would if you don’t mind the shimmers because it is a pretty colour. Plus it is so affordable and pretty.

 

Would I Repurchase?:  

NOPE. I cannot handle SHIMMERS!!
