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

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.

Highly pigmented.. one swipe covers up pigmentation
Staying power is around 5 hours

CONS:

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.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Liner Velvet Beige Review

13 Replies

Hey beautiful girls,

Today I am going to review Maybelline Lip Liner in the shade Velvet Beige. This is my first lip liner. I just chose this one randomly, but it turned out to be a hit for me. Let us move on to the review.

My Take:

I wanted to get a lip liner for my farewell. So I searched for something affordable yet good. Then came this lip liner, as I like Maybelline products. I had two options, either Velvet Beige or Choco Pop. Since I have an allergy towards browns, I decided to go for this one. This lip liner is an ordinary pencil liner.

Packaging: It comes with a transparent plastic cap. These pencils have color oriented packaging, so even if you have more than one, you will find it easy to identify. The packaging is pretty smart. Not attractive, not worse either. It is not retractable, so you need to sharp them, which leads to more product wastage.

Texture: The lip liner is creamy, but gives a matte look and somewhat well pigmented. One swipe gives you the original color. It glides on lips very smoothly, but you definitely need to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before. Or else, it will leave your lips dry. They are not moisturizing. But creamy and smooth enough to glide on lips without being a headache.

Color: Now coming to the main part. Velvet Beige is an awesome nude pink shade with shimmers. Not so nude that would wash out dusky beauties The shimmers are not so obvious but gives a healthy look to lips. It make lips look more beautiful and attractive. If not exfoliated properly and moisturized it will surely accentuate fine lines and make your lips look ugly. It is a beautiful color that will suit all complexions, fair-dusky. When I swatched it on my sister who is dusky, it showed up so neutral. Me being wheatish , it showed up as a pure pink color. It definitely controls bleeding of lipsticks and yes, it makes lipstick stay longer. If used alone, it stays for 3-4 hrs, leaving a very beautiful mild pink tint on lips.

Maybelline Vivid and Smooth Eyeliner Metallic Silver Review & Swatches

3 Replies

For a beginner with eyeliners; pencil eyeliners are the best options. There is never going crooked in the line that is drawn. I remember I had begun my journey with pencil eyeliners. And today I have moved on to color liners too. This is a review post on Maybelline Vivid Smooth Eyeliner in Metallic Grey.

Price & Quantity:

Rs.215 for 1 g.

Shade Reviewed:

Metallic Silver

My Experience:

Packaging: Maybelline Vivid Smooth Eyeliner is the common type of pencil with black body and a small portion of color at the end of the body. The pencil tip has a transparent cap for closing.

Color & Texture: The product is very creamy and glides very easily on my eyelid. It gives a good pigmented color on my eyes. I have dark circles around my eyes, so nothing much can be expected for me from any eye product. Yet, this silver color fares well on me.

How it works: If you wear it like an eye liner then this is a perfect one. If you use it thick and spread it along the lid to look like an eye shadow, then it creases badly. It stays on good for 5 long hours if used as eyeliner. Later on it begins to fade and smudge slightly.

This range has many shades; various pigmentation type and sheer ones. It is a range with mixed type of product. So, the view about Metallic Silver pencil cannot be considered for other colored pencil of the same Maybelline Vivid Smooth Eyeliner range.

I find this pencil eyeliner very handy. The cap makes the pencil very travel friendly too. It can be easily carried every where in the bag.
