Top 10 Volumizing Mascaras Available in India, Prices, Buy Online

By Sanchita

You know the saying, ‘Inner beauty is great but a little mascara never hurts.’ Well, I say the more the better. I saw more of a kohl girl than mascara one mostly because I couldn’t remove mascara properly before. Well, one day I tried out a mascara for an event and I was astonished the way it has turned my eye makeup. And from that day onwards I never skipped mascara. I loved all those tutorials where the bloggers use the beautiful falsies but honestly speaking, I could never get the hang of it. Maybe one day I will or maybe not, but for now I have the super voluminou mascara. They define your lashes and enhance the eye makeup tenfold. So, I have combined the best of the best voluminous mascaras available in India. Read on to know more about it.

1. Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express Mascara – 500 INR (BUY HERE)

One day when I was picking up some random makeup products from the Maybelline counter, the SA insisted me to choose The Falsies Volum’ Express Mascara. I was in double minds but somehow ended up picking it and I never had to try any other mascaras again because this was a gem. An amazing product that not only add volume but length to the lashes as well. I was having problem with false eyelashes and couldn’t get the hang of it. But, after I saw how this mascara actually give you the ‘falsies’ effect, I use it both regularly as well as for special occasion. Most the waterproof and washable variant are outstanding and for the price, it is one gem of a product.

2. Maybelline The Magnum Barbie Mascara – 399 INR (BUY HERE)

This is one of the very recent launch of Maybelline and compared to the price, it is again voluminous mascara as well. The wand is slightly curved that gives a proper curled effect to the lashes. The bristles are perfect to provide even amount of volume boost on the lashes to create that doll-like fluttery eye lash look to the eyes. Further, the mascara is sweat proof, waterproof, and smudge proof and hence keeps your eye makeup intact, all day long. In fact, it can be a great one for contact lens wearers. The mascara dries up easily and great for thin eyelashes as well.

3. L’Oréal Paris Volume Million Lashes Extra-Black Mascara – 795 INR (BUY HERE for 596)

A favorite mascara for every makeup artist in India. Although it does falls in the higher range category but every penny is worth spending on this beauty. It is such a kind of mascara which will give you everything – curl, length and volume boost that too in the most dramatic way possible. If you don’t want to go for false eyelashes on any special occasion and yet wants such lashes, go for this one and you will never get disappointed.

4. Lakme Absolute Flutter Secrets Dramatic Eyes Mascara- 725 INR (BUY HERE for 510)

Lakme has this Flutter Secrets Dramatic Eyes Mascara from their dramatic range that gives an opulent curl and dramatic volume effect, true to its name. It is a great long wearing mascara with water-proof and smudge resistant formula. The texture of the mascara is semi-thick and dries up pretty good and doesn’t flake from the lashes with the passage of time as well. it gives a decent volume boost which makes it great for day wear and wand is great for application.

5. L’Oréal Paris False Lash Architect 4D Mascara – 750 INR 

L’Oréal Paris has introduced for the 1st time sculpting-fibers in a mascara. It has been augmented with undetectable and ultra-supple 4mm fibers, hence, the formula builds up lashes by moulding, re-shaping and sculpting to give defined look. It has a beautiful wand which is tapered and slightly bent and also coats the lashes evenly without clumping and smudging the eye makeup. The formula is waterproof and gives a soft, fluttery look for daytime. Further, it doesn’t dry out the lashes as well.

6. Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara – 2300

This is the queen of all mascaras and that price tag is surely not for faint hearted ones. It comes in a luxurious deep ink blue packaging with a glossy and alluring gold body. The wand is slightly tapered and densely packed fibre bristles. It is comparatively slender it makes it perfect for application. The texture is light weight and wet formula but it doesn’t take much time to dry on the lashes. It also prevents clumping and adds an enormous amount of volume to gives the perfect ‘extreme’ look you desire. Further it doesn’t smudge or flux and comes off easily with an oil based eye makeup remover.

7. Colorbar Zoom and Whoosh Mascara – 650 INR (BUY HERE for 594)

Colorbar has the Zoom and Whoosh Mascara which comes in a beautiful cylindrical packaging of black, silver and pink. The unique thing is the two kinds of wand – for lengthening and voluminizing the lashes. For use the lengthening one and then the voluminizing to see what beautiful dramatic lashes it gives you. The formula is waterproof and color is jet black. It holds the curls well and also makes the lashes soft and comfortable all day long. It hardly clumps and great option for sensitive eyes as well.

8. Deborah Milano Absolute Hi Tech Mascara – 625 INR (BUY HERE) Review HERE

Deborah Milano Absolute Hi Tech Mascara has the revolutionary formula featuring 3D DH Complex for three-dimensional performance and lashes with unrivalled volume, length and definition. It also claims to be enriched with Triple Carbon Black DH Complex for dramatically pure color, and lash-strengthening Keratin. The bristles have a zigzag formation which prevents clumping yet gives you the right amount of volume and length. The bristles are soft so good for those having sensitive eyes.

9. Inglot False Lash Effect Mascara – 850 INR

Inglot is often compared to high-end brands and this mascara is another charmer from their collection. It has lump-free formula allows to reach a desired effect in just one sweep and the wand gives you the perfect precise application without smudging. The smudge proof formulation ensures the mascara will stay where it belongs, but is easily removable. The volume boost it gives is beyond one can fathom and along with the lengthening effect. It is also great for contact lens wearers.

10. Avon Super Shock Mascara – 599 INR

The wand of Avon Super Shock Mascara is a beautiful one which picks up the right amount of product and gives absolutely clump free application. It has a medium consistency and dries off rather quickly on the lashes. It makes the lashes soft and feathery without the hard and dry look. The result is very well defined and volume boost lashes with a uniform look. It is also waterproof and can be used as a great daily wear mascara. Further it is hypoallergenic and ophthalmologist-tested.

Editor’s Note: I loved this list Sanchita, I would like to add Maybelline Colossal Volume which I have used previously for years! And also Essence Lash Princess Mascara which is pretty good and economical. Rest from this list, L’Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes, Lakme Absolute Flutter Secrets and Deborah Milano one are my favourites.

Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks SPF15 Review,Swatches

Avon Ultra Color Lipsticks SPF15 Review,Swatches

What the Company claims:

Be the show stopper with rich enchanting lips. With True Color Technology, the rich color you see on the lipstick is the same color you see on your lips. Capture attention with a plethora of shades that make you beautiful.

1. Lip-Nourishing formula with Shea Butter, Omega Oil, Arctic Berry & Vitamin E to make lips feel smooth and moisturized instantly.
2. Vivid colors stay true with Self-renewing Pigments formula
3. See the shades instantly through the clear view window

Available in 20 shades

Grammage: 3.8g

MRP: Rs. 375/- (Mostly on discounts)

They also come in a matte range with a similar packaging.

It has a black square tube packaging with a see through cap towards the top. Not that you can see the shade from the top to identify the shade :/

But its shuts tight and does not mess or break easily. Travel friendly. To start with, I love how crazily pigmented these are! Pretty moisturizing and stay for 3-4 hours and leave behind a soft stain.

I am reviewing the shades Buttered Rum, Lava Love and WineBerry. I absolutely love WineBerry, followed by Lava Love. I am not a fans of browns, so do not like Buttered Rum much.

Buttered Rum is a soft brick brown

Lava Love is a bright coral red

WineBerry is actually a mauve rose brown, very flattering shade.

L-R: Lava Love, Buttered Rum, WineBerry

Here are the swatches..

L-R: Lava Love, Buttered Rum, WineBerry

And here is how they look on moi..

L-R: Lava Love, Buttered Rum, WineBerry

I would love to check out more from this range. These are very moisturizing, pigmented, have SPF15, stays for 3-4 hours and all the qualities a good lipstick should have. Highly recommended. Only availability is an issue with Avon since you need a representative.

Also I would love to try the Matte range in this next.

Rating: 4/5

Automatic sharpening for precision Lining

Shades Available: 4

  • Purple Punch
  • Cobalt Cool
  • Turquoise Burst
  • Boldest Black

MRP: Rs.399/- for 0.28g

Avon already has Glimmersticks eyeliners and they are pretty known and famous and quiet good..I had reviewed the shade Nocturnal HERE.

They have launched these Glimmersticks Ultra Brights now..but not sure why the prices increased so much from Rs.259/- directly to Rs.399/- though they are mostly on offers..

Glimmersticks are generally metallic shades or ones with shimmer..these are matte but bright..

It goes on smooth and is quite creamy..no tugging or pulling..but requires layering for the intensity..atleast 2 swipes..not multiple though. Stays on for 6-7 hours before fading off.

Purple Punch is a matte bluish purple shade..

Pros:

1. Pretty brights.
2. Smudge proof and does not spread around.
3. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
4. Mechanical and retractable..so no wastage.
5. Matching shade at the end to identify.

Cons:

1. Needs to be layered twice for the intensity.
2. Only available through an Avon rep.

Overall I liked this shade..but would have loved it more had the pigmentation been better..the previous Glimmersticks were more pigmented..or may be its just this shade..I am not sure..but definitely worth a try..especially on offers.

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: No..not this shade..may be some other.

Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 17

By Ashwini P.

This is Avon Ultra Moisture Lipstick in “Rose Seviliana”.

It’s a rich shade of red, leaning towards brick. It is quite pigmented, something that I didn’t expect from this range of Avon. I usually love wearing it as a stain, dabbing it lightly on my lips and blending it with my fingers. 🙂

Editor’s Note: Thats a nice red indeed..and nice pout pic..

Avon Simply Pretty Lipstick Fresh Rose Review, Swatches & LOTD

Avon Simply Pretty Valentine Brights ColorBliss Lipstick VCB 03 Fresh Rose Swatches, Review & LOTD

By Lee

Hello Beauties,

Today I’m going to review a beautiful lipstick from Avon which is extremely affordable and of high quality. The lipstick in question is Avon Simply Pretty ‘Fresh Rose’.

Product Description:

Blissful medium to full color finish with added natural moisturizing complex that help retain moisture and improve suppleness
Contains Vitamin E
Glides on smoothly, makes lips look instantly softer and smoother
Feels lightweight and non-sticky

Price: Rs 169/- for 4gms

Packaging
The lipstick is packaged in a bright purple packaging with the shade name mentioned at the bottom. The bullet of the lipstick has ‘LOVE” embossed on it which looks oh so cute. The cap of the lipstick shuts tightly making it travel friendly. I’m not necessarily fond of the packaging but at this price I can’t complain.

Shade
Fresh Rose looks very brown in the bullet but upon swatching it is a beautiful rosy pink with a hint of brown. This is one shade that will suit every complexion beautifully and I’ve fallen in love with the shade.

Texture 
The lipstick is extremely creamy and soft. It adequately hydrates my dry lips and applies evenly. Despite the creamy texture it does not bleed or feather. After a few hours it does tend to settle into fine lines so make sure you apply a lip balm underneath.

Pigmentation & Staying Power
Fresh Rose is well pigmented and 2 swipes gives a good color pay off. It will easily cover pigmentation of lips and you can always tone it down by blotting it.

The staying power is superb and it stays put for 4-5 hours. It easily survives small meals and snacks but does require a touch up after a full meal. I didn’t expect such high staying power considering its price and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.


Pros
1. A beautiful rosy pink that will suit all complexions
2. Creamy and moisturizing texture
3. Well pigmented
4. Superb staying power
5. Extremely affordable
Cons

1) Only available through Avon reps

Rating: 4.5/5

Final Recommendation: Avon’s Fresh Rose is a beautiful rosy pink and will flatter all complexions. It has a nice creamy texture with good staying power. Also, it is extremely affordable and I highly recommend it!

Editor’s Note: I think the shade is fab and looks awesome on you Lee.

AVON Little Gold Dress Perfume Review

AVON Little Gold Dress Perfume Review

By Sharmistha

Hiii Everyone,

When it comes to Perfumes, my majority of fragrances used form only one particular brand is AVON. I rely on them blindly, have used most of them. Though I am not a Fragrance frantic person, but given the fact one have to have perfume so I buy One at time and make sure to finish up before second purchase.

Coming to the league of Avon Little Black Dress, They have Red and white too and this Festive season they have launched “Gold” version too.

Packaging:  The glass bottle is same as other variants only difference is the Cap which has Gold with sparkles Plastic Molding. I didn’t like that much the packaging this time as I has an expectation of changing the whole look of this range.

Price:Rs. 1199/- for 50ml

What Avon says about Little Gold Dress:

Glamorous, radiant, always stylish – shine at every special occasion in a dazzle of sparkling fruits, timeless florals and rich golden amber.

My Take:  The scent is very floral fruity scent which has strong fruity Top notes.  This gives nice balance of all elements and is not overpowering. Each and every notes gets clearer as it fades off. I like more of fact that I can pair it anytime. For me it is a very much any time perfume. I like such types of perfumes.

It last on for nearly about 3-4 hours after hat it completely fades. As it fades I can clearly smell some Flowers and Vanilla notes which tends to be sweet considered in perfumes. It is a very pleasant fragrance.

Overall I like this Perfume. Only con for me is the packaging.

Editor’s Note: I too have this one and really love it..

Avon Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel ‘Swift Sherbert’ Review & NOTD

AVON Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel ‘Swift Sherbert’ Review & NOTD

Review by Lee

Hellooooo Lovelies,

I’m really excited as this is my first post on New Love-Makeup! I really want to thank Bhumika for giving me such an opportunity.
Lately I’ve been feeling very low and sick. I had just recuperated from jaundice when Mr. viral came knocking. I just feel like laying down in bed all day long with all the lights turned off. But one thing that is making me smile in my bad days is the lovely nail paint on my nails which I am going to review today. . It is a beautiful shade called Swift Sherbet’ from Avon.

Price: Rs.199/- for 8ml

Use Before 3 yrs of manufacturing

Product Description:
It claims: Avon brings to you the new and improved nail wear that dries and sets in just 30 seconds! Avon’s Speed Dry + Nail Enamel gives you glamorous and flattering nails every day and for any occasion.

Avon recently launched a variety of vibrant shades in their Speed dry+ Collection. They’re very girly and cute and I cant wait to pick up atleast 5. While all the blogosphere is going gaga over the Maybelline Color Show I’m going to introduce an Avon beauty which deserves a lot more attention.

Shade
Swift sherbert is a pastel milky peach which makes my nails pop. I’ve always wanted a salmon colored nail paint and this is the closest to it. It can make your hands look a bit dull and dark so those with tanned hands might want to avoid it. Though, personally I love the stark contrast of pastels against tanned/dark hands so its all about personal preference.

Packaging
It comes in a small sturdy glass bottle with a black plastic handle. It contains a good amount of product with a decent brush. The brush fans out properly and I can easily cover the nail in 2 swipes.

Texture
The texture is nice and of a good consistency. It isn’t watery or runny and has decent pigmentation. 2 coats will easily give an opaque finish . It’s the most pigmented pastel nail paint I have as most pastels Nps are quite sheer.

It does get patchy especially in the first coat but gives an even finish by the second.
Surprisingly the 30 second drying part is true and even though I didn’t not exactly time it but it did dry very very quickly. I absolutely hate applying nail paints and waiting for hours(sure feels like it) for it to dry off so a big yay for this one!

It lasted for 3 days without chipping after which I faced minimal chipping. By day 5 it did start to chip quite a bit . However, if you apply this with a top coat you can easily get perfectly manicured nails for 5+ days.

Pros:

1)A unique pastel peach which I haven’t seen in the Indian market yet
2)Does not chip for 5 days with a top coat
3)Decently pigmented
4)Dries very quickly
5)Did not stain my nails
6)The bottle is sturdy and travel friendly

Cons:

1)Gives a patchy finish in the first coat.

Rating- 5/5

Final recommendation- Swift Sherbet is a beautiful pastel peach which grabs attention instantly. It has a nice consistency and lasts a good amount of days. It dries very quickly however it does give a patchy finish in the first coat which is easily rectified by the second coat. If you love pastels then you should definitely give this a try.

Check out the review and NOTD of another shade Orange you Quick HERE

Editor’s Note: I love them too ! They really dry quick..I totally lack the patience and hate the waiting part in drying nail paints..I have tried Orange You Quick from this range and loved it..Swift Sherbert is such a pretty pastel indeed !
