My experience with Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipsticks REB01, REB02 and REB04

 

Packaging:

The packaging is very simple. It comes in a silver packaging along with a reddish orange semi opaque cap. The shade name is written at the bottom of the lipstick. It is similar to the Color Sensational collection of Maybelline.

 Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipsticks REB01, REB02 and REB04  Review and Swatches 5

Directions to use:

Start by prepping your lips using a moisturizer. Then start applying the lipstick from the middle of the lips and move towards the end. You can also apply it using a lip brush. Since this is a fairly creamy lipstick, a lip balm is not compulsory except for heavily chapped lips.

Shade and Texture:

 

The texture is moderately creamy and does not dry the lips. These lipsticks are semi sheer and need little layering to get the perfect pigmentation. Using the apt lip liners also will give the correct look. The shade REB01 is a subtle Red with a brownish orange undertone. This shade would suit the warm toned beauties very well. This is a good choice for every red lip lover. Using a red or neutral lip liner will give best results making the color of the lipstick show up really well. The shade REB02 is a nice subtle Pink with slight red undertones. This shade although is a slightly warm shade, it looks good on every skin tone. Using a rosy pink lip liner gives the perfect pretty pink lip. The shade REB04 is a nice subtle Coral with slight red undertones. This shade as well looks good on all skin tones. Using a cherry red lip liner gives you that perfectly wearable coral pout.

Overall Performance of Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipsticks REB01, REB02 and REB04

 

This lipstick range is a nice subtle range giving that feminine charm to your face. All of these shades naturally brighten up the face. With no extra makeup except a mascara and these lipsticks paired with the right lip liner gives a nice college or work look. If you want to head to a party, pair these lipsticks with the pop colored Kajal on your lower lash line or your upper lash line. Lining your lower lash line half way through from the outer corner t the inner corner will give a nice elegant look. This will work best for morning brunches for that fresh morning look. If you have pigmented lips, you might have to layer it well to make your lips show up the right color along with pairing it with the right lip liner. As it is not a matte lipstick it does not dry your lips.

Staying Power:

The staying power is quite good for this lipstick. It lasts for almost 4 hours without smudging. If you eat or drink something heavy, it will transfer. However it leaves a beautiful stain on the lips. Using a lip balm after the lipstick leaves a stain makes it very elegant and helps keep the lips still colorful. However it is important to use the lip liner not only to line your lips but also to fill it in to give the perfect base for the perfect pout and also make it last longer.

Would I recommend it?

Oh Ya! I will definitely recommend these lipsticks for their amazing texture and beautiful color pay off and it is totally worth the price.

As it is said that girls cannot stop with one lipstick, go ahead and try the Maybelline Rebel Bouquet lipsticks in the shades REB10 and REB07 as well from this range and do comment on this post with your experience.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick Red Revolution Review 4

Hey, Girls! I am back again with another lipstick review. This one is from the house of Maybelline. Maybelline was my first love in the world of makeup ever since I started using Kajal the first time. It holds a very special place for me. From the time when I realized my love for Reds it is a mandatory shade that I look forward in all ranges by almost all the brands. Today I am reviewing the Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in the shade Red Revolution.

This is a must lipstick for every red lip lover. Using a neutral lip liner will give best results making the color of the lipstick show up really well.

This would flatter all the skin tones. It instantly brightens up the face. It does not need any extra makeup except mascara and it will give a simple yet classy look. If you want to be a bit dressy, a gold eye shadow will do the trick with a slight tinge of natural blush making you party ready. If you have pigmented lips, you might have to layer it well to make your lips show up the right color. As it is not a matte lipstick it does not dry your lips. This works best for college girls or for someone on a budget as it is not very costly and also they can experiment with looks more often compared to working women who would prefer the classic and subtle nude lips for work.

Staying Power:

The staying power is quite good for this lipstick. It lasts for almost 4 hours without smudging. If you eat or drink something heavy, it will transfer. However it leaves a beautiful stain on the lips. Using a lip balm after the lipstick leaves a stain makes it very elegant and helps keep the lips still colorful.

Would I recommend it?

Oh Ya! I will definitely recommend these lipsticks for their amazing texture and beautiful color pay off and it is totally worth the price.

As it is said that girls cannot stop with one lipstick, go ahead and try the Atomic Ruby shade as well from this range and do comment on this post with your experience.

by Kavya Bhavana

Product Purchased by GlossyPolish

 

Hey, Girls! I am back again with yet another lipstick review. This time it is sponsored by GlossyPolish. Coincidentally my birthday is right around the corner and this makes the perfect birthday present for me ;) what more would a lipstick junkie ask for :) . This one is from the house of Lakme. This is their new launch. Yes! It is the Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon range. Today, I am reviewing the shade Berry Red.

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Berry Red

Basic Info about Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Berry Red

 

Price:

It is priced at 185 INR for 2.2g of the product.

Availability:

It is available in Lakme counters in all leading malls and on online websites like Nykaa, Amazon, and Flipkart. However, I did not find it anywhere in Bangalore (Whitefield) and it was out of stock on Nykaa for quite a while and I got my hands on it quite late. It is selling like hot cakes.

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Berry Red 1

My experience with Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Berry Red

 

Packaging:

The packaging is very simple. It comes in a black packaging along with a black opaque cap. A red paper is wrapped around the body of the crayon with the shade name written at the end of the crayon, just where the cap stops when the crayon is closed making it clearly visible. It is just like a jumbo drawing crayon. The color of the paper wrapped is quite close to the actual color of the lip crayon. Also, it comes with a free dual sharpener.

 

Directions to use:

Start by prepping your lips using a moisturizer. Then start applying the lipstick from the middle of the lips and move towards the end. You can also apply it using a lip brush. Since this is a fairly creamy lipstick, a lip balm is not compulsory except for heavily chapped lips.

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Berry Red 2

Shade and Texture:

 

The texture is comfortably creamy and does not dry the lips. These lipsticks are moderately satin finish just like their enrich satin lipsticks but a bit less satin than the enrich satin lipsticks. Two swipes on lips give the perfect color. The shade Berry Red is a nice Red with subtle berry undertones. It looks more like a tomato red with a hint of berry. This shade would suit the warm-toned beauties very well. This is a good choice for every red lip lover. Using a red or neutral lip liner will give best results making the color of the lipstick show up really well.  Using a rosy pink/ cherry red lip liner gives it a slightly more pink undertone and show up as a slightly more berry color.

This lipstick range is a very affordable range and Lakme has amped up its makeup game with this product. It had been out of stock until last week on Nykaa. It has not even launched in majority parts of Bangalore. The overall performance of this lip crayon is really good, especially considering its pricing inclusive of a dual sharpener. This range has a lovely mix of pinks, corals, oranges, mauves, reds and browns. It has a color for everyone. It is a true winner with its packaging style, color payoff, shades, longevity and most importantly it’s pricing. With no extra makeup except a mascara and this lipstick paired with the right lip liner gives a nice college or work look. If you want to add a bit more drama to your look, line your upper and lower lash lines with a bold coat of black Kajal. If you have pigmented lips, you might have to layer it well to make your lips show up the right color along with pairing it with the right lip liner. As it is not a matte lipstick it does not dry your lips.

Staying Power:

The staying power is quite good for this lipstick. It lasts for almost 3 hours without smudging. If you eat or drink something heavy, it will transfer. However, it leaves a beautiful stain on the lips. Using a lip balm after the lipstick leaves a stain makes it very elegant and helps keep the lips still colorful. However, it is important to use the lip liner not only to line your lips but also to fill it in to give the perfect base for the perfect pout and also make it last longer.

Would I recommend it?

Oh Ya! I will definitely recommend these lipsticks for their amazing texture and beautiful color pay off and it is totally worth the price.

As it is said that girls cannot stop with one lipstick, go ahead and try the Shocking Pink and Pink Burst shades from this range.

Packaging:

The packaging is very elegant. It comes in a copperish metallic packaging with the shade name at the bottom. It is compact to sit in your purse to carry around and be party ready on the go.
This is one of the boldest shades of the Lakme 9 to 5 creaseless crème range.

Lakme 9 To 5 Creaseless Creme Lipstick Flaming Function 3

Directions to use:

Swipe the lipstick from the middle of your lip to the end of the lip. Remember to cover the edges of the lips. Also clean the edges or the outline of the lips after applying the lipstick, preventing from any possible immediate feathering.
It can also be worn using a lip brush.

Shade:

I used to be a bit apprehensive to try out pink shades as usually, they would wash me out. This lipstick has a mix of a slight amount of red and generous amount of pink making it a neutral fuchsia. This is more of a pink lipstick with slight red undertones. It comes out to look like a strong strawberry red shade. It is a perfect neutral toned fuchsia. It is a strong and bright color, perfect for the spring. Also unlike other creamy lipsticks, it is true to its name and is justifiably creaseless. It is very moisturizing on your lips. It makes them look supple and healthy. Also, it has a simple creamy finish and does not show up to be glossy.
It gives a nice smooth and even finish to the lips. The lipstick smells like yummy heavenly cocoa butter ;) It is tasty like crazy as well.
One swipe gives the perfect color to the lips. Multiple swipes can be opted to have a bold look.

This would flatter all the skin tones and would complement the dusky skin tones really well. It instantly brightens up the face. It would be best to use kohl Kajal along with this lipstick to complete a simple yet beautiful look.
It will suit all occasions perfectly as it is neither too subtle nor too loud. Especially for college going girls and for parties, it would look amazing.
Move over the reds and try this at your next party. Pout your best with this flaming splash of color. It looks really flattering in photographs as well.

Staying Power:

The staying power is amazing for this lipstick. True to its name it does stay put from 9 to 5. Although it does transfer a little when you eat or drink something, it still leaves a beautiful stain on your lips.

Use a lip balm after the lipstick fades out and leaves the stain. It gives a nice finish and completely brings back the color to your lips.

Try using any lip liner in a rose pink shade to complement the lipstick and also make it long lasting.

Would I recommend it?

Oh Ya! I will definitely recommend this shade and it is totally worth the price.

As it is said, you can’t stop wit

The packaging is very cute and pretty. It comes with a gunmetal metallic cap and the body is of the same color as of the butter gloss and the shade name is at the bottom. It comes with a doe foot applicator. It is compact to sit in your purse to carry around and be party ready on the go.
This is my favorite shade from the Nyx Intense Butter Gloss range and needless to mention it is a Red shade!!

Directions to use:

Apply a lip balm on your lips to hydrate them and then swipe the lip color from the middle of your lip to the end of the lip. Remember to cover the edges of the lips. Also clean the edges or the outline of the lips after applying the gloss, preventing any possible immediate feathering.

My love for Red lips drew me to this shade. It is an out and out red with slight pink undertones making it even more pretty. Although it is a gloss, it is highly pigmented and shows up true to its color on the lips in a single swipe. It glides on very easily on the lips. It is very soft in texture making it very comfortable on the lips. Also it gives a nice smooth and even finish to the lips. The lipstick smells like yummy strawberry jam ;)

This would flatter all the skin tones and would complement the dusky skin tones really well. It instantly brightens up the face. It would be best to use kohl Kajal along with this lipstick to complete a simple yet beautiful look.
It will suit all occasions perfectly as it is neither too subtle nor too loud. It would be best complimented with a simple eye makeup and loads of mascara to flutter those beautiful eyes. It totally changes your makeup game and suits all occasions effortlessly.
Move over the lipsticks and try this intense butter gloss at your next party. Pout your best with this glossy red lip. It looks really flattering in photographs as well.

Staying Power:

The staying power is quite good for this lipstick. It is not at all like a lip gloss when it comes to the staying power. It stays put for at least 4 to 5 hours unless heavy meals are taken. It survives drinks and small meals perfectly. With that said, it does transfer a little when you eat or drink something heavy, but it still leaves a beautiful stain on your lips.

Use a lip balm after the lipstick fades out and leaves the stain. It gives a nice finish and completely brings back the color to your lips.

Try using any lip liner in a cherry red shade to complement the lipstick and also make it long lasting.

Would I recommend it?

Oh Ya! I will definitely recommend this shade and it is totally worth the price.

As it is said, you can’t stop with one lipstick, so go on and try the Napoleon shade which is a pinkish nude and also the Funnel Delight shade which is a pretty cupcake fuchsia as well from this range, they are truly amazing. Wait till my next review for that ;) Till then stay happy stay beautiful J<3

Maybelline Superstay 24 hr Lip Color Keep it Red Review 6

Hey, Girls! So I am back with the review of another red lip this time by Maybelline. This time I have hit the jackpot! The Maybelline Superstay 24hr Lip Color is a true lip hero! It does not move from its place and keeps up its word of staying on and on till 24hrs.

Maybelline Superstay 24 hr Lip Color Keep it Red Review 2

 

My Experience with Maybelline Superstay 24 hr lip color Keep it Red

Packaging:

The packaging is very chic. It comes in a white packaging with the shade name at the bottom. It looks like a whiteboard marker from outside. ‘Superstay 24hr Color’ is written on the body of this beauty. It is like the dual sided markers or pens. One side is the lip color which has a doe foot applicator and the other side is the clear lip balm.

Directions to use:

Swipe the lipstick from the middle of your lip to the end of the lip. Remember to cover the edges of the lips. Also, clean the edges or the outline of the lips after applying the lipstick for a neat look. Let it set for a few seconds. After it dries up matte, use the back portion of the product which is the lip balm over your lips. This hydrates your lips very well and makes your lips feel very comfortable and supple.

Maybelline Superstay 24 hr Lip Color Keep it Red Review 4

Shade and Texture:

This shade is the classic red which is a must in every girl’s vanity. It is that perfect red for occasions like weddings and functions where you don’t need to touch up at all in the full day as it completely stays put.

Like any other liquid lipstick, it also dries completely matte and does tend to make the lips dry. But it comes with an amazing remedy to this which is a lip balm. It does not feel greasy on the lips and makes it very comfortable and wearable. This lip color wins hands down for me when I want my lips to look best, bold and beautiful.

This lip color is 100% true to its claim of not budging for the whole day. It makes you feel more confident. It takes quite a while to take off this lipstick using a makeup remover as well.

Staying Power:

The staying power is unbelievable for this lipstick. True to its name it does stay put for 24hr and what’s more, it does not transfer at all!! So, girls, this is my new found love! It needs to be removed using a makeup remover which as well takes quite an effort. The staying power and being nontransferable are its USP.

Maybelline Superstay 24 hr Lip Color Keep it Red Review 5

This would flatter all the skin tones as it is a classic color. It instantly brightens up the face. It would be best to use kohl Kajal along with this lipstick to complete a simple yet beautiful look.
It will suit all occasions perfectly and adds that extra glam to your parties and make sure that you are the star of the evening.
Complete this amazing look with a nice coat of mascara and false lashes if you are comfortable to add to your feminine charm. It looks really flattering in photographs as well.

Tips:

Use the inbuilt lip balm after applying the lip color to make it more wearable and comfortable on the lips.

Try using any lip liner in a true red color to achieve better results. Although this product is good to go all by itself.

Would I recommend it?

Oh Ya!! I will definitely recommend this shade and it is totally worth the price.

As it is said, you can’t stop with one lipstick, so go on and try the reliable raspberry and continuous coral as well from this range, it they are truly amazing as well.

Stay happy stay beautiful <3
