Say Hello to juicy lips with Colorbar True Gloss Lip gloss in pink stain

Colorbar's True Gloss designers were not scrimping in the pigments department when they set out to create True Gloss, these intensely pigmented, glossy long wearing lip glosses are smoking H.A.W.T!!


I picked a neon bright hot pink shade called Pink stain. It has a slight hint of coral but its really a bright neon fuchsia.
Anybody else feels that the packaging reminds you of MAC Cremesheen lip gloss? Raise your hands please!!

Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo swatches

 Indian blogsophere has been buzzing ever since the Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo eyeshadows and Baby Lips lip balms have been launched.

With seductive promises of MAC Paintpot like quality at quarter of the price and a good shade selection these color tattoos are tempting every beautista out there! Well I swatched these out 3 times in past 10 day (yes I know it makes me sound unemployed, but trust me I'm not ).I was eagerly awaiting launch of the color tattoos but I wanted to be absolutely sure before picking these up.

Okay lets cut to the chase- Are these MAC Paint pot dupes?- Yes & No, they have the same cream based texture, which can be used alone as an eyeshadow or used as a base to layer the powder shadows on top.
They quickly dry and set to a smudge proof,water proof & transfer resist finish.They lasted for 16 hours on my hand swatch, The wear time is longer than MAC paint pot. Even after 16 hours I had to use cleansing wipe with makeup remover to get it completely off my skin.
Some shades are sheerer than the rest, the glittery shades do kind of make it difficult to blend powder shadows on top of these.The MAC paintpots are more creamier and smoother and blend more easily.

Are these worth buying? Oh Yeah! considering quality cream eyeshadows are as rare as finding Fairies & Unicorns, these ones are totally worth buying at  Rs 350/- bucks you are getting a very good cream shadow and it works well as a base too.

Too Cool & Tough as Taupe both these shades have been excluded from the India launch.Another gorgeous cranberry shade called Pomegranate punk was MIA as it was out of stock,so haven't been able to swatch it for you girls here.

Sleek Hide It Concealer shade 01-To buy or not to buy?

Hide It Concealer from Sleek Makeup claims claims to blend away imperfections and blemishes,the rich, creamy formula allows for incredibly easy application, perfect for concealing under eye circles and blemishes.So does it live up to its claims? Read on to find out more...

Priced at $4.49/- The concealer comes in a tiny sleek twist up tube.The concealer stick is quite creamy and while it blends easily I'd not suggest leaving in warmer spots.

The shade 01 in the hide it concealer is best suited for medium skin tones (NC 40-43).Sleek Makeup was initially aimed at women of color and hence the shade palettes are geared towards the duskier skin tones,the shade 01 is the second shade lightest shade in Sleek's Hide It concealer range. So people with much fairer skin tones would not find enough shades to match their needs.

MAC and Beth Ditto Prolong wear lip cream Booyah!

Booyah!!! with a name like that its hard to ignore a lipstick, its harder when it is a bright orange matte lip cram and comes from the House of M.A.C. and designed in collaboration with Beth Ditto!

Just when I thought that there cant be any more variety in orange lipstick-after all haven't we seen them all?-MAC Morange,MAC So Chaud,MAC Lady Danger,Inglot 103,Chambor Orange Flambe and Colorbar Velvet Matte Obsessed Orange!! MAC goes right ahead and surprises us with another Bright yet surprisingly wearable dark orange lipstick! 

God, seriously where were orange lippies all my life when I thought duskier divas like me were only destined to wear browns and plums?! Well I wasn't much into citrus flavours or colors but now I'm on a serious Orange trip! ;) And I'm so glad for more option, c'mon what Girl can say No to a pop of bright color?

MAC & Beth Ditto Prolong wear lip cream Booyah! is a limited edition shade and it is close to MAC Morange ,yet I find this more wearable. Booyah is also more muted as compared to Lady Danger & So Chaud. Colrobar Obsessed orange is more vivid and orangier (if that is a word)

The prolong wear lip creams come in a sleeker lipstick tubes, the casing is matte to reflect the demi matte finish of the lip creams.Unlike the regular lipsticks with pointed tip this one has a rounded tip and its does require some precision to get the lipstick on especially round the lip corners , as compared to the regular lippies.

Priced at RS 1400/- for 3 grams

Prolong wear lip creams are supposed to last for 12 hours though it stayed on for close to 7 hours on my lips with a meal in between. It has a creamy opaque,demi matte finish and the shade doesn't feather at all. Though you need well exfoliated lips to pull it off.
I also topped it off with Sleek Pout Polish in Electro peach just to brighten it up, both the shades got along like a house on fire and surprisingly even after topping it with a tinted lip conditioner it didn't fade or bleed.

Swatch on NC 45/dusky Indian skin tone

I can imagine it round Halloween and saying 'Booyah!!' LOL ;D


Have you tried Booyah!!! yet?
