Pink Alert! New Maybelline lipsticks in town!!

They are one of the new launches by maybelline which has thankfully decided to shower us with New products lately.

I tried these out and was impressed with unique shades, good pigmentation and good lasting power besides being easy on the pocket!

However, the shades might not suit all indian skintones. Some may even find them garish and unsuitable for dailywear/ officewear.

I for one enjoyed having some bright lippies for summer which don't really burn a hole in my pocket.

I am putting up swatches of pow3 & pow4.Pow3 is a blue based bright pink, pow 4 is a reddish coral- both are creme without any swimmers etc, almost neon and perfect for summers!

Available for Rs. 375 for 3.9g

This cute Clinique chubby stick will make u forget skinnies!!

Name -Clinique  Chubby Stick - mega melon

Price- Rs 1050

Quantity- this is travel size- full size is 3g

 What does the company Say:

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm provides a sheer hint of colour that glides on effortlessly, leaving behind a natural blush of colour and sheen.

Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm’s highly moisturizing formula uses a special blend of decadent butters, oils and antioxidants to help protect and pamper lips with immediate and lasting moisturization. Infused with Shea Butter, Mango Seed Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil, Chubby Stick delivers a surge of moisture in a sleek stick leaving lips soft, supple and soothed.

My experience-

Its one cute yet functional piece of makeup that begs one-time-try just by The looks of it. Got it with a gwp set- love it but maybe won't buy the full size -in this colour.

It's a twist up pencil that's a breeze to apply- no wastage!

Mega melon looks Lovely peachy brown in tube but applies much sheerer on lips giving only a sheer wash of peach.

On my partially pigmented lips- it works best with a lip liner- very mlbb shade- though only for fair skin tones.
Feels balmy though if applied on chapped/ flaky lips- it clings to dry bits.

Overall good if u require sheer colour with moisturization and pay a bomb for it. Maybe the new moisture intense chubbies will be better! Till then Revlon and loreal lip balms are my best bet!

Fancy a Yummy Raspberry - Try Jordana Easyshine Glossy Lipcolor !

Jordana Easy Shine Glossy Lipcolor -Raspberry (04)
Price- Rs. 227/-

What does the company Say:

Jordana’s Easy Shine Glossy Lip Color comes in various shades and is the softest & smoothest lip products. It is easy to apply, moisturizes dry lips and is perfect for natural, fresh (no makeup) look. The finish and texture is good.

Since it’s a sheer gloss, it doesn’t have a long staying power so reapply your Jordana’s Easy Shine Glossy Lip Color when needed. These feel very comfortable on lips and aren’t sticky.

This Lip bag from MAC is giving me Sultry Delights !

Mac Sultry Delights Lip Bag

Now how can I be a makeup addict and not have Mac in my collection!!! I have been there..seen it...tried it but  could not make myself spend 990/ for a lippie- Hell my sis has already got plenty of stuff from there (AND I initiated her into the world of makeup). So I thought that I should indulge myself a little too - especially when I saw this irresistible Lip bag which is good value for money!
Plus they are the shades I was sure I would like! Also I get this cutie-pie bag too!

I was on a self-enforced hiatus from buying lippies- but I broke it for THIS!

And I don't regret it one bit! :D

I think 1 more pink lipstick in my already large collection wouldn't hurt!  (and my depleting bank balance can just hang by a thread!!)

I am too happy looking at it to care!:)

 Price- Rs. 2400/-

My Inglot Haul Swatches and some More Inglot !!!

Finally I have managed to do the swacthes of my Inglot haul!

So here it is for all you lovelies....

BUT first.... let me tell you the whole story....

Me and my sis were busy hopping around select citywalk in saket... when we saw inglot... she wanted to get some things... I wanted to get a palette for my freedom system haul...

My Experience with Shopatmajorbrands.com + Inglot Haul!

After reading the ever-so-lovely Indian Beauty Central's awe-inspiring and amazing posts on Inglot Cosmetics (also the 30% discount scheme!), I could no longer hold-on to my self-control about no-more lippie buying sprees - and I did what comes naturally to me.... HAULed!

It was a pleasant  and smooth shopping experience shopping with shopatmajorbrands .. the order arrived within 5 days I think.


I chose COD as it was my first time shopping with them. I chose freedom system products - 4 shades of lippies, 2 blushes and 1 eyeshadow(Coz I already have too many that I don't use often!)
Ordering online was tough as many shades are sometimes much different in person!

The total cost prior to discount was Rs.2050/-

Blush- 350/-
AMC Blush- 400/-
eyeshadow - 300/-
Each Lipsticvk - 250/ (X4)

Total cost After 30% discount was Rs.1435/- (yippeeeeeee! Discount of Rs615/-)

I also received a sms when they dispatched the package (although I wish they did so Before office hours begin!)

Outer package- Losse plastic cover

Detailed invoice included inside

Everything packaged compact and strong

Another package inside! - 2 different packages inside for 1)lip and 2)powder products

My Haul! :)
