Oriflame Beauty Triple Core Lipstick in Ravishing Rose Review and Swatch


Hello Ladies,

Hope you guys are doing exceptionally fantastic! Today I’m going to review Oriflame Triple Core Lipstick in the shade Ravishing Rose



Lets begin with What Oriflame says about it:

The world’s first triple core lipstick fusing caring balm, passionate color and dramatic gloss into one. The result is lips that are softer, more beautiful and more impactful than ever before. With avocado, jojoba oil, chamomile and vitamin E.



Ingredient List:
SUCROSE ACETATE ISOBUTYRATE, TRIMETHYLSILOXYPHENYL DIMETHICONE, RICINUS COMMUNIS SEED OIL, OCTYLDODECANOL, LANOLIN, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRACAPRYLATE/TETRACAPRATE, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII BUTTER, MICA, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAISOSTEARATE, MYRISTYL LACTATE, POLYETHYLENE, POLYPHENYLSILSESQUIOXANE, OLEYL OLEATE, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS SEED OIL, CERA MICROCRISTALLINA, CALCIUM SODIUM BOROSILICATE, OENOTHERA BIENNIS OIL, SYNTHETIC FLUORPHLOGOPITE, PARAFFIN, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, CALCIUM ALUMINUM BOROSILICATE, BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, CANDELILLA CERA, C30-50 ALCOHOLS, CERA CARNAUBA, ALUMINA, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, PERSEA GRATISSIMA OIL, SILICA DIMETHYL SILYLATE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, PANTHENOL, SILICA, PARFUM, SAFFLOWER OIL/PALM OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL ESTERS, TALC, TOCOPHEROL, BISABOLOL, ORYZANOL, PANTHENYL ETHYL ETHER, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRA-DI-T-BUTYL HYDROXYHYDROCINNAMATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, TIN OXIDE, BHT, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 15850, CI 77499, CI 77492, CI 45410, CI 77820, CI 16035, CI 19140, CI 42090, CI 73360, CI 17200




My Opinion on Oriflame Triple Core Lipstick:

Oriflame’s Triple Core Lipstick in Ravishing Rose is a peachy pink color on my lips it shows very neutral pink … it’s an everyday wear look. It’s really creamy because of the balm inside the core and can glide very smoothly..it clearly reminds me of Revlon’s Lip Butter in Pink Truffle (Can see the picture here) . Almost similar shades….but Oriflame’s Ravishing Rose have some silver shimmer in to it… The texture is quite velvety and rich that enables really good spread and application of the product . Staying power is just 2-3 hours without eating or drinking. The lipstick outer packing is similar to Lakme Absolute range.
  

Price : Rs 449 on Oriflame Website
Made in Germany

Pros:
·        The color is rich and has a variety of shades to choose from.
·        Quite light weight.
·        Can be used with a Lip liner for just a sexy pout.
·        Easily available through websites like Snapitoday  / Oriflame Representatives.
·        I am fond of the shade, it would suit many skin tones


Cons:
·        I found it quite expensive
·        Staying power is just 2-3 Hours
·        I was not loving the packing... Moreover I found the packing very low quality.
·        Precise color shade is not visible through the outer packing.
.        For a visible color 2-3 Swipes is a must.

Final Verdict:
Since i am fond of neutrals and nudes i loved this shade..but found it too expensive.

Has anyone else tried the other shades?

Post them below!

Revlon Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick Rose Wine Review and Swatch

Hello Ladies,

Hope you are doing great !!! This is another great addition to my growing collection of Revlon lipsticks. Today is my Revlon day coz i am just sharing all my lipsticks from this particular brand . So read on to know my take on Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick  In Rose Wine.




Lets start with what Company Claims:

Revlon Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick contains an exclusive LiquiSilk formula that combines pure color with silk enriched mega moisturizers and vitamins. Your lips stay kissably conditioned for lasting smoothness while the color stays rich and true. Get irresistibly luscious lips with Super Lustrous Lipstick.



Ingredients of Revlon Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick  :
Trioctyldodecyl Citrate, Ozokerite, Polybutene, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, C10 30 Cholesterol/Lanesterol Esters, Bis Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate 2, Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax) (Microcrystalline Wax), Capric/Caprylic Stearic Triglyceride, Beeswax (Apis Mellifera), Silica, Synthetic Wax, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C) (Vitamin C), Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Extract (Aloe Barbadensis), Serica Ingredients Poudre de Soie (Silk Powder), Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2 Hexanediol, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Red 33 Lake (CI 17200), Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake (CI 19140), Yellow 6 Aluminum Lake (CI 15985) (CI 15985), Blue 1 (CI 42090) (CI 42090), Red 6 Lake (CI 15850), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Red 27 Lake (CI 45410), Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163) (CI 77163), Carmine (CI 75470) (CI 75470)





Price : Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick 225 Rosewine  ranges from Rs 525-550 online (Healthkart & Violet Bag) Whereas Revlon Super Lustrous 20 Cherries in the Glow is Rs 455 Online (Healthkart & Violet Bag)


My Opinion:


It has a matte formula not a shiny lip stuff, quite creamy and the lipstick runs smoothly, the staying power is for 3-4 hours although it definitely doesn't last long, specifically after you eat or drink something.These are super pigmented and give almost full coverage in 1-2 swipes. These do give a little shine to the lips since they are creamy but there is no shimmer at all. 

This color really depends on what you're wearing it with, if you are wearing black or any dark colors, then it would awaken you and would give a great pop of color but if you are wearing it with lighter colors then I would be unpleasant and very unnatural-looking shade of coral.

For me these shades look good in winters or fall but not in summers or spring.

Below the picture is without any gloss





And here I have applied Revlon Super Lustrous Lip-gloss in Shade 20 Cherries in the Glow




I have been using Revlon Super Lustrous Lip-gloss in Shade 20 Cherries in the Glow since long and this particular lip-gloss can be applied by itself also..Sometimes if in a hurry even if I am not applying any Lipsticks I just apply this gloss and it really gives my lips super glossy finish. I am gonna continue to buy that product. It’s a bit expensive for a gloss but I really get compliments after applying it.

My Likes on Lipstick:
Large number of shades available in it, suiting all age groups and skin tones
The formula is quite creamy
No shimmer but gives a shine due to the creamy formula
Love the Packaging
Easy available Worldwide

My Dislikes on Lipstick.
It tends to dry my lips so I need to apply a lip gloss on top of it or a coat of lip balm first
Not Long Lasting
Bit Expensive

Would I recommend:
Yes, everyone should include at least one shade of these lipsticks in your vanity.

3/5

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter - Red Velvet review and swatch


Hello Ladies,

It seems today I am going to review only lipsticks. My lipstick collection consists of a lot of reds, corals, nudes and neutrals. So, here is one product which is most commonly used and loved by millions of people. It’s the product from my favorite brand Revlon.

I am sure by now everyone is familiar with my love and affection for the brand which means that all the products made-up by this brand is better than the previous one and you cannot get enough of it.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter – 040 Red Velvet



I already have one Lip Butter in Pink Truffle, click here for the review

What Revlon Says:

Hydrating mango, Shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture
Pampering gel formula provides super charged hydration and glides on lips buttery smooth
Sheer to medium colour with buttery shine
Available in 20 luscious shades
Gives balm like feel to lips, making lips feel soothed, pampered, and conditioned


My opinion:

This is a beautiful deep, creamy red that I think could work on both warm and cool tone skin colors. I think this is a really pretty color, a neutral red, which is hard to find. Believe me. This is not very long lasting. This color will probably suit almost all complexions -- I think it is gorgeous & suits my olive/pale skin (& brown hair; brown or green eyes).




My Likes:

·         Nice deep red
·         Buildable color it isn't drying and it doesn't settle into the cracks of your lips like most matte lipsticks do
·         The color is gorgeous and rich.
·         The formula is mouth-watering and moisturizing!
·         It's like a gloss and a lipstick all in one. 
·         High class casing with quilted-pattern tube.
·         No scent.







My Dislikes:

·         I needed to touch up after few hours, but I didn't expect this to be long-lasting anyway since it's a tinted balm.
·         Bit expensive for product which is not long lasting.
·         The consistency of this lip balm is quite soft; do not expose it to [too much] heat or it will get really messy


Would Recommend:
I give Revlon an extra star for making these lipsticks because it has no taste and smell.
I love Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters since for people with lighter lips can use them as a lipstick and for people like me with pigmentation on their lips can use this both as a lipstick and a lip gloss. I say it’s a must have makeup product!

Revlon ColorStay Soft & Smooth Lip colors Review and Swatch


Hello Ladies,

Hope you all are doing fabulous!!

I had been on a trip last week while waiting at the airport I was just having a quick look at Revlon Counter at Muscat Duty free, I came across this Revlon ColorStay Soft and Smooth Lipcolors 4 in 1 Pack and I got so attracted that without wasting any time I bought it.





What company says:

Full coverage lipstick with a soft-shine finish that lasts for hours Soft Flex TM Comfort technology for comfortable creamy color that glides on smoothly Vitamin E and Aloe.

EXPERT TIPS: To create the perfect pout, define lips by applying your choice of ColorStay lipliner to the natural line of your lips. Continue by applying your favorite ColorStay Soft & Smooth lipcolor directly to your lips for full coverage color that lasts all day

Features:

What makes Revlon's Soft and Smooth collection so great is that the long wearing lipstick formula does not require two steps to apply. It looks like a regular lipstick and acts like one, too--except that it lasts about four to five hours without having to touch up. It also has a semi-matte finish so it looks great on anyone and never looks too caked up or too dry.

Another great thing about Revlon's Soft and Smooth lip colors is that there is a color for everyone. The collection holds just about any basic color that one might look for when hunting for a lip color. There are a good handful of natural nudes, bronzed chocolates, pinks, berries, and reds.

I bet you won’t be disappointed, but your lips will look irresistible for hours and the application and wear is so easy!



Price: Pack of 4 in 13 RO. Omani Rials (Rs 1800 Approx)

This Pack consists of 4 lipcolors

·         Satin Rosewood 295 ( Pink with purple undertone)
·         Smooth Nude 350 ( Nude with little shimmer)
·         Rich Raisin 230 (Rusty Red with brown shimmery undertone)
·         Pink Indulgence 360 (Pink with a pop)



Ingredients



Contains/Contient: Isododecane, Trimethylsiloxyphenyl Dimethicone, Polyethylene, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Vp/Eicosene Copolymer, Cetyl Peg/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Ozokerite, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Parfum (Fragrance), BHT, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol. All Shades May Contain [+/-: Mica, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, 77492, 77499), Yellow 5 Lake (Ci 19140), Red 6 Lake (Ci 15850), Red 7 Lake (Ci 15850), Carmine (Ci 75470), Bismuth Oxychloride (Ci 77163), Red 27 (Ci 45410), Red 33 (Ci 17200), Blue 1 (Ci 42090), Yellow 6 (Ci 15985), Red 21 (Ci 45380), Orange 5 (Ci 45370)].









What I love:

·         It gives a sheer wash of color that can be built to even out the pigmentation of your lips.
·         It's got a light sweet scent and a little bit of superfine shimmer that you can't feel.
·         The colors are so pretty that It brightens up my skin texture and makes me look more awake.
·         It looks even prettier with gloss on top


Loads of colors to select from


What I hate:

·         I am not sure but these variants of Revlon are not available in India
·         I don't like the packaging much though, they are longer and slightly slimmer than most regular lipsticks .

Would I recommend?

These are a fairly good standard lipstick, moreover there is nothing extraordinary & super amazing.
I'd buy again, but only some selective.

Thanks for reading me, please do leave suggestions and comments

Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick in Shade no 853 Chilli Review and Swatch



Hello Ladies,

Hope you are doing fantastic!!! It’s almost a week now I have been away, but I am back for good!! Before going for a trip I had done a post on Max Factor MiniHaul, so today I am reviewing the products from the same haul.

Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick in Shade no 853 Chilli


Price = 5.5 R.O (Omani Rials) Approx 770 Rs Normal Lipstick Quantity
Made in Ireland


What Company Claims:


Max Factor Lasting Colour Lipstick’s moist, lip smoothing formula takes one application and gives the long-lasting, soft, smooth and rich lip colour you love but here’s the trick – instead of having to re-apply your lipstick every few hours, a simple press of the lips freshens and renews your colour instantly – it’s like having your own personal make-up artist with you all day long!

·         Provides lasting colour without dryness
·         Gives maximum colour fidelity
·         Resists feathering into fine lines
·         Contains emollients to moisturize and condition the lips
·         Fragrance free
·         Contains double colour boosters
·         For a professional finish, apply lip liner to define lips and use a brush to apply lip colour

 My Opinion on the Product:

The Lipstick  is really very much pigmented, it does moisturize the lips and seems to give an orangey pink finish on my lips, while picking up the product and doing a swatch on my wrist, I thought it would be red with a orangey tint in it.


It has some shimmers but those are not much visible in day light.
Max Factor Colour Elixir lipsticks are available in 15 shades and cost a very reasonable.
The lipstick consistency is lovely, not sticky or dry but a nice texture that glides onto your lips

What I love about this lipstick:
1.      It goes on smoothly and evenly, not too creamy and smudgy, but also not dry.
2.      Doesn't get much drier over time, like a lot of lipsticks do.
3.      Doesn't smudge or bleed during wearing.
4.      Inexpensive
          Pics Removed in Sunlight



 What you might not find so great about it:
1.      It has somewhat sweet smell to it, which some people might not like.
2.      The colour choice is a bit restricted a lot of similar shades.
3.      Not really Long-lasting whereas i am now looking for long lasting ones.

Would I recommend?
As for this lipstick, it's a sheer, moisturizing that became my go-to lip product for a couple days of the trip. It’s well worth the money. I'm getting Rosewood for daytime, and then stocking up on both. :)
