Favorite Nude lip colors ~ Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks, Review and Swatches

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick

I am more of an eye makeup kinda girl ( well evidenced by the number of eye makeup things I own). I feel too dressed up if I put too much on my lips. I rarely wore lipsticks before I met the Maybelline Colorsensatinal lipsticks.It was just lip gloss earlier.These rich and creamy lipsticks have made me a convert !!!  I love the three colors I have. They are muted and perfect for everyday wear.:)



Crazy for Coffee- This is a brown pink color .More pink than brown on my lips.I love this color. This type of pink brown color is my favorite.I love this lipstick with a shimmery beige lipgloss on top.

Extatic Coral- Contrary to its name the color is not exactly coral. This is more of a nude color( muted brown pink) with shimmer. Just a swipe of this and I am good to go. No gloss etc required on top.

Choco pop- This is a brown color with not much pink undertones.I love the finish of this lipstick. Smooth and looks very polished. It might be too dark for fair skinned girls.

2- the finish of this is very nice. Creamy and glides on smoothly.

3-Doesn't dry out my lips.

4- These are very pigmented.

6- I like the packaging. Simple and classic.

The Not so Good:-

I love the Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks. I love the color range and the finish and feel of them. Which shades do you own?

Lakme Fantasy collection and permanent collection haul

  

I am sporting brand new nail polished toes( gorgeous metallic grey color) and a self satisfied smirk. A deadly combination of yummylicious feta cheese for dinner and a makeup haul. I absolutely love feta cheese and could have it for all my meals if it were any cheaper. I guess good things in life don’t come cheap ( sigh!!) especially makeup…though this post is on a somewhat cheapy haul..

So I went to pay my quarterly homage to the nearest Health and Glow. H&G and NewU seem to be the only beauty stores in India. How I long for the day when Sephora sets shop here. On my trip to US when I first laid my eyes on Sephora I just stood there and gaped at it like a fool with my mouth open  quite akin  to a fish. Anyway I digress, like I usually do.

With futher ado I present to you my Lakme Haul. 

Lakme Haul

      I got 2 things from the Fantasy collection. 

• Fantasy Shimmer Liner in Astral Green:- This color is just so beautiful. I can imagine this looking good on all skin tones. They had 4 more colors which were very pretty as well. Black,Pink,Clear with glitter and gold. This is priced at 275 INR. The color I got is a jade green with golden shimmer. I plan to use this with very simple eye makeup look with  Groundwork paintpot and just this liner for a pop of color.
