Lotus Herbal Pure Color Lipstick My Peach Review

Lotus My Peach Lipstick Review

by Sahiba Singh

What is it and who is it for? Lotus My Peach Lipstick is a satin finish lipstick which is peachy rust in color and has a smooth and light texture.For girls who love satin finish and light textured lipstick this one is for you. Also this range has many different shades varying from reds, pinks, mauves and soft nudes, to choose from.Sadly, it has nothing to offer to girls like me who are a matte lipstick person!

Lotus Herbal Pure Color Lipstick My Peach Review

Price:

Rs.245/- for 4.2g

How to use:

The usage is simple, like any other lipstick. You have to twist open the lipstick and apply it directly over your lips.

My experience with Lotus My Peach Lipstick

Well, honestly I am only going to use this lipstick as a lip balm at home. :)

However, I like the color that this lipstick has, it’s a subtle peachy rust color almost matches to my own natural lip color. Also for girls who love creamy, satin lipsticks which are light on texture and don’t make your lips feel heavy maybe this one is for you. It has almost all shades to offer in this pure color range of lipsticks. But there’s literally nothing for matte lipstick lovers.

Lotus Herbal Pure Color Lipstick My Peach Review 3

The lipstick is of purely satin finish, unlike what the sales girl told me. Also the staying power is a big disadvantage. It doesn’t last for 5 hours as claimed by the brand but rather stays on maybe for even less than 2 hours and if you are eating and sipping coffee, the colour begins to fade off instantly.

Lotus Herbal Pure Color Lipstick My Peach Review 4

I am personally not happy with the product, though it is reasonable priced

Positives 
  1. Good pigmentation
  2. Rich colors to offer
  3. Easily available
  4. Reasonable priced
Negatives 
  1. Staying power of the lipstick is not good
  2. Not ideal for matte lipstick lovers
Overall would I recommend or repurchase?

No, I personally wouldn’t buy this. But if you are someone who likes satin finish lipsticks with good pigmentation and are willing to compromise on the stay power of the lipstick then you can check this range out. It has a lot of shades to offer. :)

Now I have three shades of the matte me range and I could not be any happier.

These shades are just fab!

The shades that I have are:

Shade 401-

This shade is a fuchsia pink but it is not like usual fuchsia shades which are bright pink in color and neither is this creamy or velvety. It just the perfect kind of shade that I as a matte lipstick person would prefer and want. The shade is very warm and has a nice color. It would be my ideal pick for both day and night wear purposes.

This shade is a subtle nude shade, which has dark undertones if you are someone who doesn’t like absolute nude shades that have light undertones and want something that has warm undertones and does give you lips a subtle and sober and very very light mocha color then this shade is definitely for you. I really loved the shade. I wear it on daily basis for college or work purpose. It’s a light texture and neutral shade that goes well with all kinds of outfits and compliments Indian skin tone.

Milani Matte Lipstick Darling

Milani Darling Lipstick Review

by Sahiba Singh

Who is it for?Milani Matte Lipstick Darling is for those looking for an ideal lipstick  for day wear purpose, shade being light and within the tone of nude shades.For girls who feel dark shades are a no-no for them then you can consider buying this shade.You a can opt for this shade for daily use, for office and college wear purpose.

Milani Matte Lipstick Darling

Price:

$5.99

How to use:

The product comes in a sleek and compact long container and you have to remove the cap and then twist it, just like you twist open any other normal lipstick of yours. The application is simple as the lipstick is easy to hold and glides through your lips in one go because of the smooth and velvety texture and last for a couple of hours.

Quick tip: in order to make your lipstick last a little longer and give it a more mattified look, once you have applied the lipstick evenly over your lips, take a tissue paper and press it gently between your lips, this will remove all the excess lipstick making it looks a little more matte, clean and less glossy and would make it last a little long.

My Experience with Milani Moisture Matte Lipstick Darling

Shade: The product is a matte lipstick in a very subtle and nude pink color.

Finish: It has a velvety texture that just glides through your lips making them feel soft and supple and doesn’t make them feel dry at all. It stands true the claim of being a product with the matte finish having a velvety texture and does keep your lips moisturized.

Staying Power: However the lipstick doesn’t stay for a long duration of time.The lipstick stays in place for not more than 3 hours and the moment you eat it fades off because though its matte in finish but the texture is velvety and smooth which leads to fading of the color after a few hours. So it has to be reapplied after a few hours.

I would recommend this shade for people who like matte lipsticks with a velvety touch. But for a girl like me who swear by complete matte finish lip products that stay in place for the long duration of hours, this would not be an ideal pick.

What did I like?
  1. Beautiful Nude pink
  2. Velvety Matte Finish
  3. Easy to carry
  4. Keeps your lips moisturized and doesn’t dry them up
What did I not like?
  1. Highly priced in comparison to other brands.
  2. Doesn’t last for more than 3 hours
  3. Needs to reapplied
  4. Not a good option for people who like matte finished lipsticks
Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

 I personally don’t like creamy and velvety lipsticks, so I wouldn’t put in so much of my money into this product. It is a pretty average product as far as I am concerned. Lasting power is a big bummer for me.

Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack Review

Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack Review

by Sahiba Singh

What is it and who is it for? Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack is a charcoal face pack consisting of charcoal with main ingredients along with other natural as well chemical substances. For girls looking for a charcoal face mask, this product might suit your purpose.

Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack Review 1

Price:

Rs. 350/- for 125g

How to use:

The packaging of the product is simple.

The product comes in a cylindrical container which doesn’t have any applicator or pump and is not in a tube form, so you will have to use your finger or a brush for applying the face pack.

The application process is simple; after you clean your face apply this face pack over your face with the help of a brush or your fingers over your face. Avoid the eye and mouth area.

Once done, let it sit for 15-20 minutes till it completes dries and once its dry wash off your face with cold water.

Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack Review 3

My Experience with Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack:

Fabindia products are mostly chemical free but this one is not. I have been using this product for over a month now. The product does live up to its brands claim. Since I have oily skin I use it once in 2 weeks and if you have oily skin too then I would suggest you do the same. As using it frequently can cause breakout and make your skin oily and the weather is so humid that it’s better not to use it in such weather.

Fabindia Charcoal Face Pack Review 4

The product is good but the only thing that I didn’t like about it is that it contains chemicals which are unlike fabindia’s most of the products.

 But it does clear your skin and gives you a fresh and radiant looking face. So overall it’s a product worth trying.

Positives
  1. Price is reasonable
  2. Effective product
  3. Suitable for most skin types
  4. The consistency of the product is good; it doesn’t drop off and is not very liquid or very thick.
Negatives 
  1. The smell can be improved
  2. Not suitable for acne prone or highly sensitive skin
  3. Doesn’t have an applicator or tube container, the product can get contaminated
  4. The application can be messy
  5. It contains alcohol and chemicals
  6. Mild tingling can be caused
  7. Can make your skin oily if used very often
 Would I recommend/repurchase?

I would recommend this product to you if you are looking for a good charcoal face pack but I wouldn’t repurchase this one and would look for other available and improved quality product which is organic and chemical free.

Incolor Long Lasting Matte Lipstick Big Cherry, Summer Breeze, Frizzles Reviews And Swatches 2

 

Well I have 3 shades of the same range which are:

Big cherry:

This shade is my personal favourite shade. It is a deep red/brick red kind of shade and it is absolutely matte in finish. If you love dark/deep reds then you should certainly check this one out. Ideal for day and night wear.

Incolor Long Lasting Matte Lipstick Big Cherry, Summer Breeze, Frizzles Reviews And Swatches 3

Summer breeze:

This shade also a dark one! :) This is a berry/mauve shade. This is also one of my favorite shades. I bought this shade because this shade was similar to mac’s heroine shade, so in a way it’s like a dupe to that shade and if you too want a shade similar to mac heroine but at the same time don’t want to spend so much money then you must check this out, trust me it won’t disappoint you. :)Incolor Long Lasting Matte Lipstick Big Cherry, Summer Breeze, Frizzles Reviews And Swatches 4

Frizzles:

This is a peachy orange shade; I don’t know why I picked this one up. I am not really a fan of this colour thought the finish and quality just like the other two lipsticks but I didn’t like the shade in general. But if you are someone who is willing to add an instant pop to your lips and love peachy/orange shades then you can surely check this one out.Incolor Long Lasting Matte Lipstick Big Cherry, Summer Breeze, Frizzles Reviews And Swatches 5

I have been using these lipsticks for quiet sometime now and I love the lipsticks and the matte finish that it gives me, these lipsticks do stay in place and last long and stand true to brands claims.

However, I feel it dries my normal lips, so even if you have normal lips you better apply Vaseline or any lip balm before applying these lipsticks so that it gives adequate moisture to your lips and doesn’t dry them out as these lipsticks are absolutely matte and provide no moisturization to lips.

But overall it’s a good product with rich shades to offer. :)

Positives 
  1. Absolutely matte in finish
  2. Reasonable priced
  3. Rich shades to offer
  4. Doesn’t smudge
  5. Waterproof lipsticks
  6. Long lasting product
Negatives 
  1. Not suitable for people with dry lips
  2. Provides zero moisturization to your lips.
Overall would I recommend/repurchase?

Yes, at the price at which it comes, it’s definitely worth trying and it has almost every shade to offer. :)

Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Lipstick Perpetual Peony (2) And Infinitely Fuchsia (160) Review 2

What is it and who is it for? Maybelline Perpetual Peony (005) and Infinitely Fuchsia (160) Lipstick are matte finish lipsticks from Maybelline which last for long hours. For all the girls who love matte lipsticks, this could be your ideal pick because they have a variety of shades to offer and you can surely find something that suits your taste.

Price:

Rs.525 for 3.3 g

Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Lipstick Perpetual Peony (2) And Infinitely Fuchsia (160) Review 2

How to Use:

The lipstick is easy to use, just like any other lipstick, remove the cap and twist open to get the lipstick out. And apply the lipstick evenly over your lips. And you are ready to go!Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Lipstick Perpetual Peony (2) And Infinitely Fuchsia (160) Review 2

My Experience with the Maybelline Perpetual Peony (005) and Infinitely Fuchsia (160)

These lipsticks are an ideal pick for a matte lipstick junkie like me. And I am happy with the product. These lipsticks have a pleasant fruity/floral fragrance. These lipsticks do live up to the brands claim and have not disappointed me. They stay in place for a long duration of hours and are super stay lipsticks in comparison to other brand but certainly not for 14hrs long!

The two shades that I have are:

Perpetual Peony (005):

This is another shade which is within the tone of pink but this more of a pastel pink shade. I am not a lover of pastel shades but I thought this was worth trying and the shade is good and lasting power is similar to the above-mentioned shade.

Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Lipstick Perpetual Peony (2) And Infinitely Fuchsia (160) Review 4

But however I personally didn’t really love the color of the shade but if you are one who loves pastel shades then you must give it a try because the lipstick is definitely good! Also, pastels have been getting a lot of attention this season. So you can try this shade if you are looking for a matte finish and long-lasting lipstick in pastel pink shade.Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Lipstick Perpetual Peony (2) And Infinitely Fuchsia (160) Review 1

Infinitely fuchsia (160):

This shade is pink in color, one of my favorite. This shade is so summery and vibrant and rich. This shade would be my ideal pick for day scenes and since it a fuchsia pink you can flaunt it with your party wear dresses even during the night.  This gives me a smudge-free and creaseless look to my lips. And stay in place for a good 6-7 hours.

My favorite amongst these two is infinitely fuchsia as I don’t really like light/pastel shade colors, but if you are looking for one product that’s long-lasting, and absolutely a matte finish product then you can surely check this range and find a color of your choice.

Positives 
  1. Matte finish and light texture lipsticks
  2. Easily available
  3. Lasts for about 7-8 hours
  4. Have a variety of shades to offer
  5. Smudge-free lipsticks give you a clean and mess-free look
Negatives
  1. Not suitable for dry lips
  2. the 14hr stay claim is not wholly true
  3. could have been priced for a little less
Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

Yes. Worth trying once, the range has around 15-18 rich shades to offer.
