Colorbar Secretly Pink Velvet Matte Lipstick 1

Colorbar Secretly Pink Velvet Matte Lipstick : Swatches + Review

by Bhumika Gupta November 14, 2023

written by Bhumika Gupta

Who is it for? Colorbar Secretly Pink is a velvet matte lipstick, which stays for about 4 hours… This particular tone is a little shimmery. The body is appealing, silver in color with a transparent cap; it makes you see the shade clearly. The name of the shade will be mentioned at the bottom. It is for girls who want to try a little shimmery pink. This is not a very good shade for people with a dark skin tone.

Price:

Rs 325 for 4.2 gm

How to Use:

You can apply it from your center lips towards the corners and then on your lower lip.2 applications should be enough. I would suggest that you can use a lip liner too; the lipstick might bleed a little after immediate application but will settle in around 15…20 minutes 🙂

My Experience with Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Secretly Pink

My experience with this colorbar lipstick shade has been good, I love the creamy texture that the shade has, and the main attraction of these lipsticks is their creamy matte texture, which makes the lips look pretty good. Also, I am quite comfortable with the stay of the lipstick; it will be fine till 4 hours.This colorbar lipstick is a little shimmery, so even after it is off, there would be a little shimmer left. I like the taste of the lipstick; it’s fresh and smells good too. What I doubt about is that it might not suit all complexions, as it might not make your face look that good if it is not worn correctly, make sure you take care of the bleeding point that initially after application it will bleed but will settle in 20 minutes. It does not dry, and is finely pigmented 🙂

Pros

Creamy matte
Stay is good
Smells nice
Affordable
Easy to carry
Rich lip color
No need for Lip Balm

Negatives

Will not suit all skin tones
Will bleed a little initially.

Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

Yes, I would recommend it if you have a wheatish or a fair skin tone. The shimmer would suit you, but I might not really recommend this for people with dark skin tones:)

Ponds White Beauty Cream Review

by Bhumika Gupta May 30, 2019

written by Bhumika Gupta

Who is it for? Ponds White Beauty Cream is for those looking for an affordable and lightweight whitening cream for daily use.

Ponds White Beauty Cream

Price:

Rs 75 for 25gm

Natural/Organic/Vegan?

How to Use:

The usage is pretty normal, I would say take some amount of the cream which is thick and light enough, and spread it on your face like any normal bb cream or face cream, make sure you do it evenly, you will see the instant glow

My Experience with Ponds White Beauty Cream

Well, my experience with this one has been good till now, it gives me glow for about 2..3 hours, it cannot be used for a long time, but is good for short times. There are a lot of times when I’m lazy enough to wear any makeup, and hence I use this. I love the flirty and flowery scent of it. I like the soft texture it gives to the face.

I love the instant clear skin of mine, you can wear it to your gym, or a nearby outing, I sure it’ll do good to you. It’s great for people with oily skin, but may not be as great for people with dry skin.

What I love about the product is that it does not make you look white artificially, just for the sake of looking fair. It makes you look smooth and clean, and that’s what I look for in a product 🙂

This is a spotless fairness cream, it’s really light and creamy in texture, it is not a heavy foundation at all, it makes your skin glow and makes it look neat, I love the flowery scent of it, the fragrance is always the major thing for me when I buy any product. I generally wear it when I have to go out for 2..3 hours.

It’s great for a simple short outing or I wear it for house parties, the stay is fine, it’s good for people with oily skin, for dry skin people it may dry a little. It is more like a fluffy mousse, the packaging of this small pack is cute, the colors are off-white and baby pink, and it’s a small round bottle.

Positives

Instant Glow
Flowery scent
Thick texture
affordable
Easy to carry

Negatives

May dry your skin
May make your skin feel a little tight

Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

Yes, I would recommend this because I found it useful, there are more pros than cons. Also, my suggestion would be that go for the small pack first, as I have because even if it does not suit you, you can use that little quantity as you hand cream! 🙂

What is it and who is it for? Beauty By Calvin Klein is an eau de parfum! It was one of the finest that I’ve had.The fragrance is feminine as well as sophisticated. Describing the product, it comes in a classy white box, the front and the back of the box mentions the details. The body of the perfume is a round curvy one. The body has a metallic silver cap to it, which has a unique kind of shape it makes it attractive.

Price:

$36.50 for 50 ml (may vary)

How to Use:

Apply it on your neck, a little below, and the underarms. You need to twist the cap a little to get access for the application.

My Experience with Beauty by Calvin Klein Eau De Parfum Spray

My experience has been amazing, I love the jasmine kind of fragrance, it stays for really long, it is strong enough but feminine at the same time. Just the cap is a little issue; I love the subtle color and the different kind of shape of the perfume. It basically gives a really calm kind of a feeling. There is definitely something very comforting about the fragrance 🙂 See if you like floral fragrances, you will love this. If on the other hand floral fragrances give you a headache, skip this one!

Positives

Strong fragrance
Appealing body
Long stay
Refreshing and comforting

Negatives

The cap might be a little issue
Could have been priced better

Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

Yes, I would recommend this perfume! You need to have one of such kind of fragrances, and I’m sure you would be asked about what perfume you are wearing by others. Go for it!

Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream 8 And 11 Review and Swatches

by Bhumika Gupta April 30, 2019

written by Bhumika Gupta

Who is it for? Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream 8 is a soft matte lip cream basically, the surprising irony is that it is really soft when applied, but looks matte on your lips, the texture is creamy, the colors are pretty. They come in a plastic tube bottle, which shows the color of the lip shade clearly, it has a black cap. It has a wand applicator which helps you apply the correct amount on your lips. You will have to shut the cap tightly.

Price:

Will vary from 200-250

How to Use:

Apply it from your center lips towards the corners and then on your lower lip. The application is pretty easy, 2 applications should be enough. You can also mix both of these pinks and apply!

My Experience With Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams Shade 8 And 11

These lipsticks come in a small cylindrical packaging just like NYX lip creams. There is a short doe foot applicator to apply them. The applicator is stiff, but not much inconvenient.

Both the shades are very creamy and pigmented. They give a good color payoff in a single swipe.

Shade 08 is a muted warm-toned pink. It will flatter all skin tones beautifully an is an excellent everyday color.

Shade 11 is a cool tone pink. It instantly brightens up the look. I think it is a tad more casual than the other one.

These lip creams don’t transfer. This lipstick may come off a little unevenly, the stay would be about 3 to 4 hours!

Positives

Pigmented
Soft Matte
Does Not Transfer
Affordable
Easy To Carry

Negatives

Less quantity
May come off unevenly

Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

Yes, I would recommend these shades because I personally love them! They are totally affordable and very easy to carry. Try the other shades as well! It’s a justice with the price.

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo Review

by Bhumika Gupta April 13, 2019

written by Bhumika Gupta

Who is this for? Tresemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo is a keratin-infused shampoo, basically to give shine to your hair and revive their damage; it makes your hair soft. It is for people who want to give shine and good texture to their hair. The packaging is pretty red and black with a flip open cap. The ingredients are mentioned at the back of the pack and the shampoo is not very thick in the texture. It is whitish in color.

Price:

Rs 67 for 85ml

Natural/Organic/Vegan?

How to Use:

Take the required amount in your hand, which will be according to the density and length of your hair. Massage your hair with it well and rinse! The shampoo is not very thick.

My Experience with Tresemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo

My experience has been fine, I like the fact that it gives softness and a little shine to my dry hair. I like the packaging of the product. The smell is very normal nothing strong or wow about it. I love the fact that there is this small pack so that I could try it because for trial you really don’t like to buy a huge pack! It can do wonders for people who already have a little soft hair, but for people with extremely dry hair, it would work slowly. The thing I dislike is that the shampoo has a thin texture!

It is very runny and a lot of it comes out at once.

I have read some really great and some awful reviews about this product.

If I were to suggest, I would say please buy a small trial pack and see how it suits you.

I also feel that most shampoos stop working after some time, smaller packs are great that way. You don’t invest in a full sized product and the product does not go waste 🙂

Having said that, I am pretty satisfied. My hair feels smooth and smooth and easy to style with this Tressme shampoo.

Positives

Small pack in budget
Gives shine
Makes hair soft
Frizz-free hair
Transforms your hair
Suitable for thin hair too
Attractive packaging

Negatives

Thin in texture

Would I repurchase and recommend?

Well, I can recommend this but the small pack! So that it does not get wasted! And you can try it also, so basically go for it! Thumbs up!

What is it and who is it for? Lakme Peach Path Lipstick is a peach-colored Crease-Less Crème Lip color, which glides amazingly on your lips making them look super soft. It is for anyone who is looking forward to buying a decent peach tone. It feels glossy but is semi-matte. The lipstick comes in a metallic body, which is a shiny rose with a tint of gold in it. The outer box is of the same color. There is no shade-detecting area in it, and the cap shuts tightly. The shade name would be mentioned at the bottom of the lip shade.

Rs 450 for 3.6gm

How to Use:

Apply it from your center lips towards the corners and then on your lower lip. The application is pretty easy, 2 applications should be enough and will make it look perfect. It has no shimmer at all!

My Experience with Lakme Peach Path Lipstick

My experience has been pretty well, it’s one of my most worn shades in the office as it helps me giving the formal look on my face, you cannot really be bright at your workplace and this one totally helps to give you a decent look.

The texture is creamy matte; the pigmentation of the shade is good. The stay without meals is about 3 hours, but as it is such a pretty color I don’t mind reapplying it at all. It does transfer a little. It will not dry your lips and will get off very evenly. For me it’s a kind of perfect peach! <3

Lakme Absolute Sculpt Studio Hi- Definition Matte Lipstick-Red Flames Review

Beauty

Lakme Red Flames Review

by Bhumika Gupta March 23, 2019

written by Bhumika Gupta

What is it and who is it for? Lakme Red Flames is a High Definition Matte Lipstick is available in 15 dramatic shades, I’m in the shade Red flames, and it provides a kind of Expert finish.

Price:

Rs 750 for 3.7 g.

How to Use:

The cap opens and shuts with a twist and does not open on its own, which would help you to carry it anywhere. The bucket comes out with a twist mechanism, with a single click, so basically, the usage is pretty simple and clean enough.

My Experience with Lakme Red Flames

I would like to begin with describing the packaging; the lipstick comes in a sleek metallic bullet, in transparent packaging. The transparent packaging makes it easy to detect the shade of the lipstick. Also, they open really easily as you twist it up. The most important thing for a Lipstick is to maintain its balance between being extra glossy or dry matte, you want the matte look but without your lips looking dry, I personally hate dry looking lips, it’s really important for your lips to look hot, but healthy. The texture of this lipstick is amazingly the perfect soft matte that you need; it is long lasting, with the correct amount of pigmentation. It’s perfect for any night occasion and it suits both girls/ladies. It is kind of perfect for the Indian skin tone too. The stay is for 4-5 hours on an average.

It has been a good experience using this Lipstick. I have applied it 4-5 times till now, as I mentioned earlier that for all the girls who prefer soft matte, should go for this one, as it has a perfect texture and makes your lips look healthy and pigmented. It stays on your lips for about 4-5 hours, does not dry as much as the other matte lipsticks. It is a good option for your Eve/Night purposes. I would recommend that you and your mom both can try out the shade!

Positives

Soft matte
Great pigmentation
Unique packaging/Travel-friendly
Easy Application
Gives a good finish

Negatives

Could have been priced a little lesser.
Not totally waterproof.

Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

Yes, any day, I would totally recommend you guys to go for it and try it out as it will do good to you and add spark your beauty. Also, I would like you guys to try out the pink tones in this range.

Loreal Magique Liner Black Review

by Bhumika Gupta March 20, 2019

written by Bhumika Gupta

Hello everyone… the new range of L’Oreal has attracted me to try it! I had earlier reviewed the Kajal of this range, and today I would be reviewing the eye liner! So basically I personally feel you should keep switching and trying new products as you never really know what works for you! So read the complete review of Loreal Magique Liner Black know if this one is worth giving a shot!

Basic Info About Loreal Magique Liner Black

This is black eyeliner which is incredibly versatile and easy to apply because of the brush that it has, the eyeliner dries up quick, and gives a little shiny black look to your eyes. The bottle of the eyeliner is small with an elongated brush; the tip of the brush is hard and uniform. The bottle is classy black and pink in color. It gives a dark black shiny look to your eyes. The entire details are mentioned at the back of the pack.

Price:

Rs 399 for 3gm

Natural/Organic/Vegan?

What does the Brand Claim about L’Oreal Paris Liner Magique Black?

The brand claims that the particular liner gives an intense black look to your eyes with precise lines and helps you achieve magical eyes. The brand also claims that the particular liner is totally smudge-proof, water-proof and also does not transfer.

How to Use:

I really like the brush! The application is pretty easy, draw a precise line on your upper eye lid; also it is really easy to get the winged look! The liner will dry up quickly!

My Experience with Loreal Magique Liner Black

My experience has been good, I am happy with the shine it gives to my eyes; I like the black color it gives to my eyes, the best part being it helps me do a neat application. It helps me create the winged look comfortably, yes it does not smudge, on the waterproof point, it is waterproof to an extent but not totally waterproof. The stay of the liner is for a good 5-6 hours. One thing I would like to mention is that the bottle of the liner is pretty small, so I suppose in comparison to the price, the quantity is less!

Overall Performance of Loreal Magique Liner Black

Pros

Does Not Transfer
Black Finish
Easy To Carry
Gives Shine
The Applicator/Brush Does A Good Job

Negatives

Not 100 percent waterproof as claimed.

Colorbar Demure Velvet Matte Lipstick: Hi everyone! I have really adored and loved the Colorbar velvet matte lipsticks; have tried my hands on many of them, plus reviewed them too. So today I am going to review another one which is “Demure”. I keep trying pinks and mixing and matching them. I have been using this lip shade from quite some time now, and I would say that I am quite happy with the shade. The product fulfills the claims made by the brand till an extent. The quality of these lipsticks overall is what I like. I like the texture a lot. Read more to know about the product.

What is it and who is it for?

Going by the name of the product, this is a velvet matte lipstick, which stays for about a good 4 hours… This particular tone is a little dark pink. The body is appealing, silver in color with a transparent cap; it makes you see the shade clearly. The name of the shade will be mentioned at the bottom.

Chambor Stay On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil Review

by Bhumika Gupta March 17, 2019

written by Bhumika Gupta

What is it and who is it for? Chambor Stay On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil I use it as my kajal, and for all those who have faced the problem of the Kajal being smudged, there’s finally this one which doesn’t. It gives proper intense dark finish, and also a dark finish in a single stroke, the color of the kajal is exactly as of its body. It comes in a Twist- up packaging but unfortunately is not retractable. There are 3 colors available in this, which are black, blue and navy (similar to dark green). I’m in the shade 301- Forever Black

Price:

Rs 295 for 0.28 g.

How to Use:

As I have mentioned earlier that it is not retractable( to twist back) kindly don’t twist it a lot, twist it a little, and use it like your normal kajal, applying a single stroke or double according to the amount of dark intensity you want. Put the cap tightly after its use.

My Experience with Chambor Stay-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil

I am totally addicted to this Kajal. The waterproof claim is totally correct! It does not budge from the upper lash line at all! A little bit fading does happen on the waterline, but that is not too much to worry!

It is the most essential makeup product ever, it’s been more than a year and I have been using this, I am totally happy with this, it highlights your eyes makes them look prettier, enhances the beauty. From my personal experience I would like to mention that it looks gorgeous when it is applied in a thick manner, and in comparison to the other ones, a single stroke of this also does well. One really important thing is that please put the cap tightly after its use. It has a tendency of falling off! A definite con if you have to carry it around!

My biggest grouch with it is that the Kajal is only twist up…so when you pull too much out, it won’t go back! This means that you cannot judge the amount of product remaining! If only they fixed the packaging, this liner would be perfect!!

Positives

Intense Black
Waterproof
Does not smudge at all
Easy Application

Negatives

Non-Retractable
If the lid is not put properly not easy to carry unless cap is tightly closed

Overall Would I repurchase and recommend?

Yes, any day, I would totally recommend you guys to go for it and try it out as it will do well to you. Also I would like you guys to try the other 2 shades of it as well.
