Colorbar Take Me As I Am Lip Color Flirtatious Pink Review, Swatches

MRP: INR 699.00 for 3.94g

Shades Available:

  • Sensuous Red
  • Flirtatious Pink
  • Seductive Tan
  • Lip Smacking Cherry
  • Mischievous Wine
  • Bare Dare Pink
  • Sizzling Berry
  • Mysterious Nude

Its a short chubby pencil with the matching shade color at the ends..it comes with its own sharpener..It is not like normal lip pencils..which are usually drier..this is more of a lipstick in pencil form..remember the Inglot AMC Lip Pencil..see HERE but even that is matte..so a little dry..

These Take Me As I am Lip Color Pencils are just like your moisturising lipsticks..they apply with ease..and are very comfy on lips without any dryness or heaviness..they give a glossy finish..which fades away after some time..but the color stays..it stays for a good 5-6 hours..and leaves behind a stain..
The shade 002 Flirtatious Pink is a peachy pink with a hint of brown..this shade would suit most of the skin tones..
Here is it on me..

Pros:
1. Moisturising and there is no dryness or heaviness.
2. Stay for a good 5-6 hours.
3. These pencils have a cute packaging and easy to carry along for touch ups too.
4. Comes with their own sharpener.
5. There are 8 shades available but there is something for everyone..an orange based red, a nude pink, peachy pink, pale pink, wine ,berry, nude brown, etc..
6. Matching ends to identify the shade in case you have more than one..
Cons:
1. Expensive !
2. Would finish off soon..since it needs to be sharpened and causes wastage too.
Overall I do love them..a product which works both as a liner and lipstick and stays so well and is moisturising and can be carried along anywhere for touch ups..these sure are good..I only wish these were priced around Rs. 450-500/- coz the Inglot AMC Matte Pencils are also priced at Rs.680/- and these are higher..
In case you want to buy, these are available at Rs. 594/- HERE..swatches coming up soon..

Quality: 4.5/5

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick 58BR Bare- MLBB ?
What the Company claims : For a rich lip colour with a creamy shine, the Velvett Matte Lipstick, available in 45 stunning shades infuse the lips with vibrancy. Its unique 2-in-1 formulation gives the lips a creamy, yet matte finish. A one of a kind product in India, it has super softening agents that give the lips a soft and supple appearance while keep them nourished with Vitamin E. Staying on up to 5 hours on application, the Velvett Matte Lipstick can be further accentuated with lip gloss and lip liner.

MRP- Rs. 225/- for 4.2 g

I have reviewed the shade 57P Naked Pink before..here

These used to come in square packaging before and were priced at Rs. 200/- but even at Rs. 225/- these offer quite a good range of shades, great pigmentation and quite good staying power. Worth it..

These have an matching bottom to the shades…go creamy enough and have a somewhat matte finish..stay on for a good 4-5 hours and leave behind a tint..the only issue is all shades leave behind a pink stain on the lips. That is the only con with it.

Bare is a muted peachy brown..perfect MLBB i.e My Lips But Better shade for me..I love this shade after my favorite Maybelline My Mahagony. This shade can be worn anytime anywhere..it is just perfect with everything..I love my MLBB shades..bear with me 😀

Here is the swatch..


Forgot to include a lip swatch..

Read the whole review for Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks here

Overall I love Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks..these sure are a value for money….and I totally recommend the ‘Bare’ shade..I am sure it would be an MLBB shade for many..They have come up with five new shades..like Obsessed Orange, Thrilling Pink, Peach Crush, Etc…I am eyeing the Thrilling Pink 😉

Check out my other MLBB shades here

Inglot Matte AMC Lip Pencil 23 Dupe

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
Inglot Matte AMC Lip Pencil 23 Dupe

When I had reviewed the Inglot AMC Lip Pencil here..many of you liked the shade..but found it to be a little expensive at Rs. 680/-

And this shade surely reminded me of a similar shade I had in my stash..and I checked all my lippies and compared..And it did !

And the dupe for Inglot Matte AMC Lip Pencil 23 is our very own Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in Naked Pink !! Which is quite famous amongst us bloggers and I guess most of us have Naked Pink or Bare or both 😉

Though the formula is quite different as the Inglot Lip Pencils are totally matte..but the shade is a little similar..the Inglot 23 is a little cooler and the Naked Pink is a little warmer…but still they are quite comparable..see for yourself..

T- Naked Pink B- Inglot 23

I would surely suggest checking out Naked Pink if you still have’nt..its a pretty mauvey earthy pink..and a MLBB shade for dusky skin tones..

T- Naked Pink B- Inglot 23

Colorbar I Glide Eye Pencils Prunella, Jaded Review,Swatches
I love love these pencils…I have not tried I Define…but I love I Glide and these are more creamier too..I got Prunella and Jaded as I love both these colors…I think all bloggers have atleast 1 of these..Prunella is a very pretty royal purple..and Jaded is a jewel toned green and is a bit glossier..

Do let me know if anyone wants the ingredients list..its given on the carton.

What the Company claims: Defines like a pencil and glides like liquid eyeliner, the I-Glide Eye Pencil, with its smooth formulation, gives your eyes rich colour in a single stroke and blends in easily after application. Lasts longer than 8 hours; does not feather or bleed. This effortlessly easy to use I-Glide Eye Pencil is available in six shades including Silver hue, CocoBar, Jaded, Electra, Prunella and Blackout

Ingredients

MRP:  Rs.325/- for 1.1g

Check out the shades on site

Up- Jaded-Down- Prunella

Pros:
1. They are super creamy..nice and easy to line..without ant tugging or pulling.
2. The colors are intense….1 swipe is enough.
3. Packaging is nice…colors at the end to locate and a tight cap.
4. Decently priced considering the quality and compared to Revlon and Chambor.
5. They are water proof.
6. Stay on the whole day without smudging.
7. Can be smudged within a minute of applying for that smokey effect.
8. These are matte and so can be used anytime..unlike the Maybelline Vivid and Smooth which are all shimmery.

Cons:
1. These are very soft and have to be sharpened carefully.
2. These get over pretty soon 🙁

Rating:

Quality: 5/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 5/5

Overall rating: 4.75/5

Would I buy them again: Yes yes I would..I love them..:) There are 4-5 new colors added in it..And I also like the Coal Mine shade.

Which I glide do you have ? Which color is your favorite ?
