My Experience with Maybelline New  York ColorShow Lipstick  Crushed Candy 103

Packaging: It comes in a stylish packaging. It’s in a black body with a pink detailing at the center where you need to swirl it out and glide over your lips.

Shade, Texture, and Pigmentation: The shade as I mentioned above is a frosted shimmery pink. It’s a pretty pink skin brightening shade and complements Indian Complexions.
It has a creamy glittery texture which allows easy application. Also, it’s highly pigmented. The pigmentation I must say is Superb!!! The pink pigment is wonderful, I love the shade. The color-payoff is good too! It provides a shiny full coverage if glided 2-3 times.

Fragrance: The fragrance is a bubble-gummish and a mouth-watering one.

Staying power: However the staying power isn’t as good as the color and the pigment. It’s not transfer-proof. Like not at all! So, the girls out there, who’re looking for a transfer proof lip color, do not rely on this one! It starts melting and bleeding after a while. It starts chipping off after some time. Not proper for a day out ‘coz it won’t stay that long. In other words, it’s stay power is not for more than 3 hours.

Experience: Although I’m not really a glitter person like I said,  I like the color, texture, and everything but it lacks the main utility of a lip color i.e the staying power. It bleeds and transfers a lot! After a while, you’ll be left with no color on the lips. In fact it leaves a very ugly line on the sides with no amount of pigment on the lips.

But then again, I like the shimmery pink color, so in order to avoid the problem of bleeding, I generally apply a generous amount of a fixer gloss on the top of it and I’m good to go.

So ya suit yourself, if you can compromise for the shade, you may purchase it.
