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:

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 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 Just Bitten Balm Stain in Crush Beguin Review & Swatch


Hey Ladies,

How are you all doing?? Its Monday afternoon and Monday’s are quite boring with loads of work and tensions..so just removed a little time for this review.

I recently got this new Revlon Lip stain its said as Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain in the colour 005 Crush Beguin as it is recently launched in India so here’s the review and swatch.





Price : Rs 600/- for 0.09 oz (2.7 g)


Features:

It is really moisturizing on your lips but not very sheer the way Revlon Lip Butters are. Even Colorbar has come up with something called the “Take me as I am” lipsticks,  has to be sharpened it and costs approx 699/- when I last saw them.

It dries quickly and needs a gloss to be applied. The fragrance is sort of a Minty , a menthol types which fades away in 30 mins.

Lasting / Staying power is good, Crush is striking berry or plum color and gives a very rich look. I wore Crush for the entire day and I still have vibrant pink lips. Packaging is good , it reminds me of the the NYX jumbo Sticks but those need a sharpener and these doesn’t. The silver twist up section at the base is really nicely built-into the design. My only complaint is that the lid doesn't fit on the opposite end of the stick. I don't know about you, but if I can't put the lids on the back end I put them down and it takes me almost half an hour to find them again.

May be I need to be extra careful about the lid being misplaced.

Company Claims:

Lightweight Lipstain + Moisturizing Balm
·         100% of women who tried it felt their lips were instantly moisturized with a soft stain of color
·         Retractable chubby crayon, no sharpener required
·         It's a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon. 
·         Just Bitten Kissable ™ Balm Stain gives softer, smoother lips with a perfect flush color that lasts hour after hour.

Pros
·         Very moisturizing and Creamy but not buttery texture ,Easy to apply.
·         Easily available in India.
·         Long Staying Power (i.e 4-5 hours)
·         Travel Friendly

Cons
·         At times in some lighting it’s shows a plum colour and in other it’s more of a raspberry colour.
·         Not that pigmented
·         I found it expensive
·         I don’t think it’s the best lip stain I’ve ever bought.

LBA Rating:
2/5

Would buy again:
Yes may be I would like to try Honey shade

Ladies, Please give me suggestions if I have missed something in my review, suggestions and comments are always welcome.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter - PINK TRUFFLE


Hi Friends,

How are you doing ?? I am here for a review and a swatch on my Favorite Revlon Lip Butter.

Revlon Colorburst lip butters are colored lip balms that are available in 20 pretty shades.


I got one of them and it is Pink Truffle,  it is believed that a good lip color can bring a complete change in your look sweet and simple to glam and stylish.


Price : Rs 600/- 





Commonly seen that even women who do not wear a lot of makeup don’t go out without a lipstick. Now a days stores are full of latest products with so many lipsticks and lip glosses with funky names.




I think that some of the shades in Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters are super pigmented enough to use all on their own but few are a bit too sheer for my lips.

The packaging is high quality and attractive with zigzag embossing on each cover. Also on the Top it is Transparent, so that the colour is visible.





 Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters contain .09oz of the product which basically the same amount of an average lipstick and can be travelled with easily. 

Company Says
·         Hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture by 156%
·         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



Pros:

·         Lips feel moisturized, soft and smooth.
·         Outstanding pigmentation.
·         Wide colour range from pinks, corals, nudes and reds
·         Doesn’t need lip gloss.
·         High class casing with quilted-pattern tube.
·         Glides on smoothly giving a natural look.

Cons:
·         For people who like to see a ton of color on their lips might be disappointed by this since it has a sheer formula.
·         Needs couple of swipes
·         Bit pricey
·         Tends to melt if not kept in a cool place.

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!
