Maybelline Color Show Lipstick In Choco Latte Review and Swatches!


 ISLM Writer: Ishleen

Hello munchkins!
So after about 4 months with ISLM and its readers, who all can actually claim to know me or say that they know the writer behind all those desi-toned posts? So if you just thought that oh yes, she is the mad woman who is in love with her nude lipsticks; girl I love you! Like, seriously, I just fell in love with you, and ofcourse, with one more nude lipstick from the house of maybelline! You knew that was coming, right?

What does Maybelline have to say?


Maybelline Color Show Lipstick is a fashionable intense lipstick, which comes in chic to vivid shades. Maybelline Color Show Lipstick is highly pigmented giving bold lips.

Price and Quantity 


INR 299 for 3.9 grams of product





Packaging


Packaging wise the color show lipsticks from maybelline are very basic, but at the same time classy and sturdy! The glossy black packagiing looks no where near to cheap or anything though it is actually very cheap! And it has all the details on the base as well as a plastic coating with all the other details like ingredients list and expiry dates! Plus, it won't open on its own--so its safe!

Shade and Texture

Very honestly, I bought this lipstick just because I heard that it was a perfect nude lip colour for warm Indian skin tones! But now I know that internet can be deceptive! No, i do not mean that I do not like the shade or that it is not a perfect nude, but just for the olive to tan skin tones! The shade looks like a very pretty caramel brown with pink undertones but on my fair to medium skin tones it came out as a deep reddish-brown, or a brown with berry tones! But on deeper tones it would come out as a gorgeous soft brown!



Pigmentation and Colour Pay off

The lipstick is undoubtedly very pigmented. One swipe and the lipstick shows up in its full blown hue. One swipe gives a full blown colour but looks really natural as the shade is neutral, but it is pretty much buildable and can be worn as a sophisticated deeper nude lip shade!

Staying Power

This is one aspect which I down right hate about maybelline's color show range of lipstick is that they do not stay on the lips at all. I mean 3 hours tops, that too without food or drinks. And if you are going out to eat, then skip these color show lipsticks all together, or atleast mattify it down with a setting powder to make it stay a little bit longer. But the good part is that it does not fades evenly, and goes away all together without leaving any stains behind!

Do I Recommend?

Yes I definitely do! For the price and the shade it is a must have for Indian beauties!

4.5/5

REVIEW: Johnson's Baby Lotion on Adult Skin

By
I am itching to do some makeup EOTDs and LOTDs since a while now but with guests at home I am not getting any time... So for a while you guys are stuck with me doing reviews. Not that my reviews do not need much efforts but as compared to EOTDs and LOTDs, reviews are a little bit less demanding where time constraints are concerned... Don't you agree? :) Today I shall be reviewing the Johnson's baby lotion and before you raise your eye brows and say to yourself "WTF" let me make it absolutely clear that I bought it when I was out of a moisturiser and needed one pronto! This was the only one available and so I just bought it. I figured if it was good for babies, how could it be bad for me? The truth? Read on ;) Johnson's Baby Lotion is Clinically proven to be mild and mild it sure is. It has a soft and soothing fragrance, which I love. Once applied it gets absorbed really fast and does not leave a residual oiliness or greasiness. It would be perfect for normal

I was planning on starting this post with a quote on health and all that jazz but then I realized you are here reading this post not cause you want to see my writing style but are here cause you actually want to read the contents :) So I will start without much intro but a little disclaimer before that ;) Disclaimer I am not a doctor or a nutritionist or even a dietitian. I have found out from experience what works for me and I am sharing it with you guys. You are to find out what is right for you and make your own permutations and combination to this regimen of mine depending on your target weight, your lifestyle and all :) Before I start there are a couple of points we need to keep in mind: 1. In order to lose weight one needs to burn more calories than you take in. 2. The human body takes about only 1200 calories to do the routine functions of respiration, digestion etc. 3. Just because you are not taking 3 full meals a day does not mean that you are starving yourself or ar

Makeup Class: Difference Between A Bronzer, A Highlighter, An Illuminator & A Brightener

By
  Bronzer Vs Highlighter Vs Illuminator Vs Brightener  Very often than not being a beauty blogger I come across the terms Bronzer, Highlighter, Brightener and Illuminator at least a dozen times a day. These terms are everywhere and people use them in their daily conversation with so much confidence that you'd be surprised at how wrong many of them are in their usages. Oh! Yes even I have made mistakes in the past about their connotations and today armed with research, experiments and well just plain analysis I have reached a consensus where I can now confidently put forth the results of my hard work... Yes, today ladies and gentlemen, I shall be clearing all the confusion that prevails behind Bronzers, Highlighters, Illuminators and Brighteners!
