Maybelline New York ColorSensational Lipcolor, Summer Sunset 615





Hello Ladies,

I will be reviewing "Maybelline New York ColorSensational Lipcolor 615 Summer Sunset" today. I brought this one from Shoppers Stop Last November. But have only started using it lately, Say around 2 months Back.

What's the outer Appearance like
When it comes to brands like Maybelline, You are never left disappointed.A rich looking beautiful red colored top with a nice silver base. The locks are perfect and serves its purpose well.

Its costs 375 Rs. for 4.2 gm's . Well, I am not sure about the shelf life as the pack that I brought last year has an expiry  date as Dec 2015 Which I assume should be around 2 years. Well, Good enough :)


What the company claims:
Smoother, more nourished lips instantly. The freshest, most fabulous color. Color sensational lip color's exclusive nourishing honey nectar dramatically hydrates beyond perfection. Discover a sensational improvement in overall lip appearance.


The reality:
I absolutely love the quality of the lipstick. The color is more of an orange tone as the name Implies (Summer Sunset) But not loud at all. It has an Orange tint to it. I prefer wearing it everyday since the color looks decent to be worn with any Attire.
I have been using it since 2 months and still there is close to half stick left to be finished.

As the company claims Honey nectar definitely hydrates your Lips. No need for any Lip balm or Lip gloss at all. Its does provide a dramatic improvement to over all Lip Appearance.


The Swatch:
One single layer provides a wonderful color tint to your lips! I have rubbed the stick only once in the swatch below. It gives equal results on the lips too.I have put 2 pics in different light conditions.



The below swatch effect is achieved after rubbing  around 2 - 3  lipstick layer. Look at the stunning look it gives in the image. It is more stunning on the lips.
The staying power for this lipstick is around 4-5 hours best and then It will gradually fade away. Since I don't have the habit of licking my lips every time by the end of the day a faded color tint is left over my lips. This staying power is without any snacking.


The Verdict:
4.5/5

Pros:
Brand Name.
5 Star for the intense color coverage.
Moisturizing
Packing

Cons:
None that I see any.

My Take:
I am very particular about not using even a slightest orange tone on my lips, But this one's changed my choice. I totally loved it. Go for it galz.

MTV MUAH By Blue Haven




Hi all beautiful ladies,



Here's my very first review for the blog. I am going to review MTV MUAH by Blue haven lipstick shade that I recently purchased from an online store.

I never had a plan of buying this lipstick, But while ordering another product I just landed to this page and the offer was irresistible :D

So lets start with, The appearance first
The lipstick was received tightly covered with a transparent plastic which was neat enough. There was no outer box of any sorts  in which it was kept.
I brought this lipstick at a cost of 178 rs (Unbelievable :o) for a pack of TWO! (Again unbelievable) 
Hence didn't really expect much from it.

I wanted a very basic natural inky pinky shade that would be suitable for everyday use Hence I picked this one which is shade 12 and I got another free shade with it, which I honestly didn't care about ;)

The quality of the outer cover is alright, what would one expect at the price of a peanut :P
The click lock is perfect and tightly locks the lipstick. I believe it varies with what you get as the lock for the second shade is lose comparatively but not really lose and does its job quite well.



The quantity is 2.5 gm close to half the size of usual lipsticks which makes the cost justified. The manufacturing date is mentioned on the stick but doesn't provide the shelf life. The company doesn't disclose the ingredients which make me suspicious  :o But alright for this cost again.

The inner stuff
As I said, I didn't really have much expectations from this lipstick but I was proved wrong. The shade is perfect perfect shade that any girl would love to wear without any hesitation. I would go with any complexion and give your face that wonderful natural pink looking glow.

It glides really smooth on the lips, It has got that perfect moisturization enough for your lips to make them feel soft.

The color tint is really good for a subtle look and should stay on the lips for around 4-5 hours without any snacking.



The smell is a bit like umm...caramel? or sort of chocolaty...but nothing to be irritated of.

It doesn't seep into the lip cracks and softens evenly. You would not really need a lip balm to use this one. Though I prefer adding a base coat of a lip balm to make it appear more plump and rich :D

The swatch
Gliding it once will give you a beautiful subtle color and rubbing it more than 2 times gives it a deeper soft pink tone. So you can use it as per your choice.



The verdict:
4/5 

Pros:
Pocket friendly
Good click lock.
Wonderful shade that any body would love.
Good moisturizer.
Decent stay power.
Brand name.

Cons:
Small size 2.5 gm (Does it matter at this cost?)


My take:
I have fallen in love for this overall package and would love to try on all shades available from MTV MUAH by Blue Haven.
