New Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks India Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
I have two shades from the new Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks and you already saw me using one in the previous Valentine’s Day Tutorial post.
I have been testing these out and here are my thoughts..
Claims: Maybelline New York introduces Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color, a burst of statement-making color meets a surge of creamy texture. Achieve beautiful-looking lips and statement-making color with this supremely sensational matte lipstick. These hydrating lip colors glide smoothly and evenly on lips keeping them moisturized all day long. Now flaunt your pout in bright, vibrant and creamy matte shades for bold impact!
Precious oils leave a sensuous finish.
Available in 12 gorgeous hues.
It is extremely light weight.
Does not bleed or set into the lip lines.
Shades Available: 12
Faint for Fuchsia
Ravishing Rose
All Fired Up
Nude Nuance
Touch of Spice
Craving Coral
Mesmerizing Magenta
Burgundy Blush
Siren in Scarlet
Vibrant Violet
Divine Wine
Rich Ruby
MRP: Rs.575/- for 4.2g
To start with, the sheer grey purple case and steel body packaging is quite nice. I always liked the Color Sensational range packaging, they change the outer case color for different ranges.
Although I am not happy with the increase in prices, the Color Sensational range started with Rs.299/- in India and then it increased to 399, 425, 500 and now 575. I feel 575 is a little too steep for Maybelline as we always associate it with affordable prices.
The formula is creamy matte as per the name. It is very comfortable and glides on the lips easily, and gives an opaque finish in two swipes. They are quite moisturizing and feel light weight on the lips.
These are quite pigmented and stay for around 5-6 hours. Since I have both deeper, brighter shades, they definitely stay longer and leave behind a strong tint. I had to finally take them off after 6 hours and scrub my lips well to remove the tint. The lighter nude shades won’t last that long.
These are slightly glossy, and not a flat matte or powder matte finish. Also they do transfer on everything, but don’t go away completely and fade off quite evenly.
I like the fact that they have a good variety of shades, but I still see more of reds. Only two nudes and one violet, would have loved more shades in this range, at least about 20-25.
Faint for Fuchsia is a barbie fuchsia pink. Slightly cool toned but not neonish.
Craving Coral is a bright coral orange.
These swatches are two swipes, I love the pigmentation.
I do recommend the new Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks, I only wish it was priced below Rs.500
I am going to try both the nude shades Nude Nuance and Touch of Spice and also the Vibrant Violet.
They have recently launched the Intimatte Nudes collection in the US and I absolutely love few shades like Raw Chocolate, Beige Babe, etc. I hope they launch that range in India soon!
This Creamy Matte range is available online on Nykaa.
Your favourite shade? Are you going to try the new Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks?
Since Valentine’s Day is coming up and I wanted to create a look with my theBalm Meet Matt(e) Trimony Palette, I thought of this matte pink/plum makeup look.
Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick Faint for Fuchsia
Pixi Glow Mist
I went with a bright pink lipstick and the whole look complimented well. I like how it turned out. My false lashes were not cooperating and were coming from all sides, so I finally just took them off :/
I hope you like the look, do let me know in the comments below.

I attended the launch of the new Lakme Argan Lipsticks yesterday and I swatched all 15 shades for you guys. They are already available online on Nykaa but without swatches, it’s difficult to make an online purchase, hence I hope this would help you guys.
Claims: The power of traditional argan oil, now in your favourite lipstick. Say hello to argan oil infused lip colors, the all new invention by Lakmé. These lipsticks nourish your lips while delivering intense color. The best of both worlds is now a reality with its nourishing power as well as rich pigments. It has a beautiful creamy texture that gives your lips a smooth and silky finish. Available in 15 vibrant shades that complement all Indian skin tones, Lakmé Absolute Argan Oil Lip Color is where the power of argan oil comes to life!
Argan oil as a base makes for a wonderful lip treatment – almost like a replacement for chap sticks/lip balms. They can heal cracked lips and also keep them soft, smooth and conditioned. The use of this argan oil based lipstick during the cold seasons is perfect to prevent rough and dry lips.
I love the complete gold metallic packaging! That attracts towards the lipstick instantly. The formula is very buttery and creamy, these are packed with color but with one swipe would give a sheer look and you can build up the color. You can even use it with fingers just for a stained look, that’s what Donald Simrock showcased on a few bloggers.
It does look like the shades have little shimmer, and they do have a glossy finish.
I have divided the lipsticks into 3 parts from 1 to 5, 6 to 10 and 11 to 15. Though the swatches would be right to left :/ I made that mistake
01 Ruby Velvet is a medium ruby red
02 Crimson Silk is a pink based red
03 Peaches N Cream is a light peach, suitable for fair skin tones
04 Soft Mauve is a true cool toned mauve, would work for fair to medium skin tones
05 Dewy Orange is a medium orange shade without any neon undertones, again a great color for fair skin tones.
06 Smooth Merlot is a very wearable berry red, great for medium to deep skin tones
07 Buttery Caramel is a cool toned nude brown
08 Drenched Red is a warm red
09 Soaked Berries is a grape color, would look nice on medium to deep skin tones.
10 Pink Satin is a medium hot pink shade
11 Silky Blush is a light barbie pink, would work for fair skin tones
12 Deep Brown is a gorgeous deep dark brown, as the name suggests, would work on all skin tones.
13 Juicy Plum is an aubergine plum shade, would work on medium to deep skin tones
14 Lush Rose is a bright hot pink
15 Soft Nude is a light peachy nude, an MLBB shade for fair to medium skin tones
My favourites are Deep Brown, Soaked Berries, Juicy Plum, Soft Mauve and Smooth Merlot
Batiste Dry Shampoo Floral & Flirty Blush in Cherry- Full size 50ml (Rs.299)
I had an option to pick one shade from the Sugar Liquid Lipstick and since I already had 4, I went with Suave Mauve which I didn’t have. Check the review and swatches of all 4 HERE
It’s a very pretty dusty nude mauve, great for fair to medium skin tones.
I love the Matra Lip Balm, it smells really refreshing and the ingredients has lot of good essential and base oils.
I have tried Just Herbs Honey Face Wash and Batiste Dry Shampoo before, like both. Glad I have it in mini sizes now, for travel.
Overall, the total price of the products in this month’s bag is Rs.1230/-. I wouldn’t say it’s a must buy but if you wanted to try Sugar Liquid Lipstick anyway, then you get 3 additional products plus the bag for just Rs.100/- extra, so that’s a good deal.
All Nykaa So Matte Fall/Winter Lipsticks Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
I had reviewed the Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks earlier HERE. They came up with 8 new shades in the Fall/Winter collection later on, I had these since quite some time but couldn’t review as was on bed rest then.
Recently they have also launched the new matte nude collection, again beautiful 8 shades. I can’t wait to try those.
The packaging, price, formula is all the same. It has matching stickers behind the lipsticks with the shade names this time.
These are creamy, comfortable matte and not proper ‘matte’. So don’t expect these to be complete dry and powder finish, these are creamy and moisturizing and you may see some shine on the lips initially in quite a few shades. It will blot down later on, but these are very easy to wear unlike the drying matte lipsticks. And also these do not accentuate lines or dryness. I love the formula and pigmentation of these!
They stay for around 4-5 hours and deeper colors even longer, without eating or drinking. With eating, this will fade and will need touch up.
L-R: Mulled Wine, California Merlot. Sugar Plum Martini, Spiced CabernetL-R: Mulled Wine, California Merlot. Sugar Plum Martini, Spiced Cabernet
Mulled Wine is a deep berry wine
California Merlot is a cool deep red
Sugar Plum Martini is a medium plum
Spiced Cabernet is deep mauve pink
L-R: Cranberry Sangria. Irish Coffee. Hot Shot Espresso. Caramel MargaritaL-R: Cranberry Sangria. Irish Coffee. Hot Shot Espresso. Caramel Margarita
Cranberry Sangria is a medium red
Irish Coffee is a cool toned nude, very Kylie Jenner shade
Hot Shot Espresso is a warm medium rust orange
Caramel Margarita is a warm nude brown, again a great MLBB
My favourites are Irish Coffee, Spiced Cabernet, Caramel Margarita and Hot Shot Espresso
I love how they are adding more and more browns/nudes and beautiful everyday shades which no other brand in India usually does. I have always seen reds and pinks and oranges and I am so fed up of those. Pretty happy with the color range Nykaa offers each time!
Today I’m presenting yet another essential product and a must have for all the ladies who love makeup. We ladies just don’t leave a chance to apply makeup, be it a party or any occasion, with great dedication we try to create all the possible looks, layering all the pigments to achieve that certain look we desire.
But once we return home we feel extremely lazy to get rid of all makeup we applied. At this moment we need a product that helps us get rid off all the color on us within seconds and without much effort , at the same time not damaging our beautiful and delicate skin around our eyes. Keeping this in mind today’s review is about a Fragrance free eye makeup remover lotion that I picked up from Boots outlet.
Unfortunately Boots outlet is not there in India. As I always say in most of my reviews I have sensitive eczema skin condition that is sensitive to perfume, hence I decided to pick this product since its suitable for sensitive skin plus its fragrance free. So let’s know more about this eye makeup remover.
Note: Please make it a practice to remove all your makeup before you hit the bed before you sleep.
Product Claims:
Suitable for sensitive skin or skin allergic to perfumes: Initially when you apply the product you will notice a faint fragrance but that will vanish in seconds. My skin is sensitive to perfumes and I personally did not face any irritations
Gently but effectively removes all traces of makeup even; even water proof: Yes totally agree with this claim, as it totally removes the all of the mascara (3 coats) , brow gel and pigments I apply.
Vitamin enriched
Directions: Apply with cotton wool and wipe over closed eyes.
This lotion comes in a plastic opaque, off white bottle and a screw cap with the lid can be flipped open. I would say its travel friendly. Being a lotion formulation it has cream like thick consistency .The product can be easily taken on the finger tip and it does not even drip.
Cost: Approximately INR 130 [.500 KWD] for 150mL. [Discounted Rate].
My take on BOOTS Fragrance Free Eye Make-Up Remover:
On application of this lotion on the eye area, it spreads smoothly without smearing the makeup shabbily. A pea sized amount is required for both the eyes. I massage this lotion gently around my eyes,eye lashes and over my eye brows , wait for a few seconds for the makeup remover to do the job, Then with the help of a tissue paper or cotton ball wipe off the makeup following one direction. Please be a gentle since area around eyes are delicate.
Water proof mascara and brow gel tend to make your eyelashes and eyebrows brittle, So it’s advisable to be very gently while wiping off the makeup in these areas. Honestly speaking I do use this eye makeup remover all over my face once I finish with removing the eye makeup. I dot this lotion on my entire face and neck , gently massaged it for a minute and wipe off the makeup with a tissue. I do need to wash my face since it makes your face oily. So washing with a mild face wash would be recommended.
I’ve been using this product for about a year and haven’t had any break outs, skin irritation or any eye allergies. If you are looking for a budget friendly makeup remover for sensitive skin then definitely you must try this product.
Pros
Budget friendly
Can be also used on face
Can be used on sensitive skin
Fragrance free
No skin irritations
Travel friendly
Small amount works long way
Cons
Makes your skin oily (washing required)
Not available in India
Rating: 4/5
Would I recommend BOOTS Fragrance Free Eye Make-Up Remover? Yes!!! For the benefits and price you should definitely try this eye makeup remover.
Editor’s Note: This sounds really good, I have very sensitive eyes, will definitely buy it next time I am oustide India.
Faces Ultime Pro Second Skin Foundation, Pressed Powder & New Matte Lip Crayons Review
Hi guys,
So Faces recently added 11 new shades to their already 12 existing shades in Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayons and I have 4 of them with me. There are some very pretty nudes and I have all 3 of their nudes.
Also they launched the Ultime Pro Primer, Second Skin Foundation and Pressed Powder. I have been using the second skin foundation and powder since quite some time now and here are my thoughts..
Claims: FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin Foundation with its new breakthrough color technology is an ultra-lightweight, liquid-to-powder formula that works like magic on your skin. A serum based foundation, it is super luxurious on your skin and has anti-ageing properties. It gives seamless adjustable coverage and a natural matte and velvety smooth finish that looks and feels like your own skin. As it melts into your skin like a serum, the result is a noticeably brighter more youthful appearance. Available in a unique packaging with a glass bottle and dropper, and in four shades of Ivory, Natural, Beige and Sand, FACES Ultime Pro Second Skin Foundation matches specifically with the Indian skin tone and comes with SPF 15.
MRP: Rs.1499/- for 30ml
Faces Ultime Pro Second Skin Pressed Powder
Claims: A powdery finish compact makeup, Faces Ultime Pro Second Skin Pressed Powder creates even-toned skin instantly, delivering natural finish to your skin. Step out confidently into the sun as Ultime Pro Second Skin Pressed powder comes with SPF 15 feature, protecting your skin throughout. With an incredibly luxurious texture, medium coverage and being light weight, it is perfect for your daily makeup. Choose your shade as this pressed powder comes in four different shades of Ivory, Natural, Beige and Sand.
MRP: Rs.899/- for 9g
Both the foundation and powder come in black and silver packaging, the packaging is very classy and nice. Especially the powder with the silver band at the center giving it an asymmetrical look.
I was pretty excited to try the foundation as it is serum based and very thin yet promises good coverage. It comes in a glass bottle with a dropper exactly like serums.
The foundation is very thin but not very runny like water. It spreads easily on the skin and I need just one drop to cover my entire face. You can always build it up and since it is very thin, it doesn’t look cakey at all anytime.
It blends really nicely with fingers without giving a streaky finish. In fact, I would suggest using fingers for this as the brush/blender would soak up some product and you anyway need very little product with this. You might need 1.5-2 drops if you use a brush or blender.
As you blend it through the skin, it gives a matte, powdery feel and evens out the skin tone really well. It gives a velvet matte finish as claimed and you wouldn’t even need to set it with powder. However for the very same reason, you need a rich, hydrating moisturizer underneath this or it will cling to all dry patches.
It has SPF 15 and is mineral oil free, hence non comedogenic and wouldn’t clog pores or break you out.
I love how just one little drop covers my entire face and gives medium coverage, it is full of pigment and covers pretty well. Though if you looking for full coverage, you will need an additional layer.
Since it is very thin and natural looking, it photographs really well. It doesn’t feel like foundation at all since it is super light weight and I am using it almost every day currently. Only reaching out for this foundation.
It is expensive though and also not very travel friendly coz of the glass bottle packaging. It would have been great if Faces had 2 more shades in this, since these 4 shades are not enough for all skin tones.
I have the shade ‘Natural’ and I was confused between Natural and Beige, thankfully Natural works perfect for me.
I have the pressed powder too in the shade ‘Natural’. I absolutely love the travel friendly and handy packaging.
The powder comes with a separate compartment on top for the puff and the steel like mirror finish on both the sides of the compartment, below the puff and in the 2nd compartment above the powder. The powder is very, very smooth and silky to touch and gives decent coverage. The coverage is good enough for people with fairly decent skin for everyday use. It mattifies the skin well, and still doesn’t feel dry.
One drop of the serum foundation and the pressed powder on top, and I am good to go with the base. That equals pretty good coverage.
Pressed Powder, Foundation both in ‘Natural’
I definitely recommend the powder, the price point is decent too. But again, more shades would have been better.
I would love to see a serum like concealer in this same Second Skin Range.
Coming to the new shades in the Faces Ultime Pro Matte Crayons, the packaging, pricing, etc. is the same. You can check the detailed review on these HERE.
MRP: Rs.799/- each
Pigmented and creamy, and give a nice matte finish. These are very comfortable to wear but will accentuate fine lines, so make sure you exfoliate and moisturize lips well as with all matte lip products.
Last time they launched many bright shades and I was longing for some nudes. And this time they have many nudes and I can’t be happier! 😀
I love the color coordinated packaging and they all come with a separate sharpener as well.
Pink Pout is a neutral warm carrot pink, very everyday/wearable pink.
Blushing Nude is a dusty mauve
Spiced Latte is a cool toned brown
Cashmere is nude peachy brown, can see the peach in it compared to Spiced Latte
I absolutely love all four and especially the three nudes, I won’t be able to pick one favourite. Cashmere is a must have though, perfect everyday shade.
