Rakshanda wanted a review on this..so here it is..
Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks come in 45 shades and there is one for every one..there are pinks, browns, nudes, mauves, burgundy,etc..all colors..
I have the one in 57P Naked Pink. Its a dark mauvey pink with a little earthiness to it..I think this shade would suit people with both fair and dusky complexion..it comes off different on different skin tones..for people with pink pigmented lips..its even an MLBB shade.
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 (They were for Rs.200/- before)
Here is the swatch
Pros:
1. True to its claim..they are pretty long lasting..in fact they lasted the longest amongst all the lipsticks I have..They stayed for around 4-5 hours despite eating,drinking,everything..and they leave behind a tint.
2. The colors are very pretty.
3. They are a steal at Rs.225/-..pretty economical. (I got them for Rs. 180/-)
4. The ends have the same shade as the color..so easy to recognise if you have 2-3 of these.
5. They have a sweet smell…not too bothering.
6. They go on pretty smoothly…and have a somewhat matte finish.
7. 4.2 g is a good enough quantity.
Cons:
1. They are a bit drying as all matte lipsticks but wearing a lip balm underneath would help.
2. You have to top it off with a clear gloss if you like the glossy finish.
3. The shades online are pretty confusing and don’t match the color at all.
4. All the shades leave behind a pink tint..which is somewhat weird.
Overall these are quite value for money…and offer some amazing shades..surely recommended..
