Pucker and Pout Contest Entry- 9 

By Nidhi Gautam

I have chosen Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids ‘Hot Plum’ as my lipstick for your contest entry just coz I love the unique gorgeous plummy pink color with the added intense shine that looks fab on festivals/parties. 

I like to wear this shade with my ethnic wear, specially blue n pink dresses n even lightly for a more toned down look when going out with friends. A soft pink blush and a blue/black eye liner is all that is the other makeup needed. 

Editor’s Note: Thats a super hot shade Nids..and loved the pout pics as always 🙂

They are named ‘Glam’ and ‘Pop’..the pop ones are quite bright..

It comes in a super cute packaging..shaped like a lipstick..it is short and stubby..and has this small wand with flat doe foot applicator..

Quite pigmented, moisturising, non sticky, super glossy and easy to apply..but cannot be layered..as it gets gloopy when layered..

It is quite easy to carry around, has no taste or smell..stays for around 2-3 hours and leaves behind a pretty tint which stays for another hour or so..

Glam2 is a pretty rose pink with a hint of coral..it has very fine shimmers in it..which do leave behind after the color wears off..

Pros:

1. Super cute packaging.
2. Easy to carry around.
3. Comes in 15 pretty shades.
4. Moisturising.
5. High shine and glossiness.
6. Non sticky.
7. Quite pigmented.
8. Stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a tint.

Cons:

1. Gets gloopy when layered.
2. Some shades are quite sheer.
3. I wish it was without the shimmer.
4. I think it should have been priced around Rs.350/- or Rs.375/- for 5ml of the quantity and considering Maybelline’s pricing of all products..which has always been its USP.

Overall I do like this..and I think its a great product to try..love how pigmented these are and stay long too..and as claimed..glossy and moisturising..plus available in all possible shades..

I do recommend these !

I want to try Glam7, Glam3 and Pop5, Pop1..how about you ?

New 36 Hours Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Smudge proof and water proof for 36 hours and comes with a unique tip brush
Intense Color. 36 Hour Wear. Now gel reinvents eyeliner.

MRP: Rs. 450/- for 2.5 g

Why You’ll Love It

•Only our oil-free formula can hold highly concentrated pigments in a clear gel base.
•So color is more intense and lines resist wear for hours.
•Smudge-proof and Water-proof.
•The most intense line for lasting drama.

Ingredients:

Expert Tip
Use gel liner and begin at the inner eye. Extend along lash line, continuing up towards the brow.

Check out more details HERE

The all new improved version of Maybelline Gel Liner is out..with the old one being discontinued now..

I have used the old one too..it comes in a glass jar and the new one is in a plastic jar..the old one was priced at Rs.375/- for 2.8g. Read the previous one’s review HERE

The old one was more gel like..this one feels a little creamier..this one is anyday more dark and intense..It stays longer too..I have obviously not tried it for 36 hours..did anyone do ? :p But it stays for around 10 hours and then fades a little on my super oily lids..on the waterline, it stays for 4-5 hours. Does not smudge much or give raccoon eyes.

It gives a glossy look at the start and then settles to a matte finish.

The brush that comes along is almost the same as previous one..just a bit denser..I wish it was two sided with a very fine brush on one end..coz this brush does not help with fine lines or just defining..it gives thick lines..and is perfect for winged liner.

Here is the swatch..see how dark it is..


And here it is on me..

Pros: 

1. Glides on super smooth without any tugging or pulling.
2. Super dark and intense..jet black. 
2. It is long lasting and smudge proof as it claims..it stays on whole day without smudging or fading much even on oily lids. 
4. Gives a nice matte finish.
5. It helps in getting that perfect winged liner look too. 
6. Its perfect for tightlining the eyes. 
7. It dries quickly and hence does not smear or spread. 
8. Comes with a brush along.

Cons: 

1. I would have liked more colors. 
2. The brush is a little dense for fine lines..a two sided brush would have been perfect. 
3. Its not meant to be used on waterline..irritates the eye a little.

Overall I would say I love how deep and dark it is..and once dried, it gives a nice matte finish and stays put come what may..my hand swatch did not go away even after multiple times rubbed hard. It stays for 10+ hours even on oily lids. And perfect for winged liners..Highly recommended.

I did a reverse french using a cello tape here..the base is Keep Up the Flame (red) and Denim Dash (blue) on the tips..I did the opposite on the other hand but since Denim Dash is matte..the red was not showing up on it..and it did not look neat enough. But I loved how the blue came up on this red. You can try different options in colored French Manicure.

Here are few more designs..

Slide Show: Diagonal Stripes..using Orange Fix and Buried Treasure.

Cat Stripes: Using Bold Gold as base and Blackout for stripes.

Reverse French : Using Tenacious Teal and Crazy Berry

4. Stamping Kit. When one is well versed with these basics, they can buy a nail art stamping kit which consists of stamping plates, stamping polish and one stamper and scrapper. Konad has many different kinds..the below one is a basic one.

Once comfortable with these basic things, one can buy different nail art brushes and dotting tools..it comes in a set and there are different kinds of brushes for different designs..there can be endless number of possibilities once you know how to work well with them.

Maybelline Color Show Nail Paints Review, NOTD

Sorry for being MIA..my PC issues plus one of my cousin is getting engaged this Saturday and we have a dancing function too..so need to practice these 4-5 days after office :p And today, I got terrible cold suddenly..nose and eyes watering so much 🙁

What the Company claims: Why You’ll Love It

Chip-resistant formula for bolder color that just won’t quit.
• Easy-flow brush.
• Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free.

The fashion fix for your fingertips
Stay right on trend from your tips to your toes with new Maybelline Color Show. Our gel based formula with color popping pigments, comes in 40 bold, super stylish shades that look great on nails. So go on, mix, match and make the most of color.

For Best Results :

First apply a clear base coat to help your nail color last longer. With one sweep, paint the first line of nail polish starting from the base to the tip. Then apply color to the rest of the nail.

With one sweep, paint the first line of nail polish up the centre of your nail starting from the base to the tip. For the cleanest look, be sure to leave a small space at the base of the nail. Then apply color to the rest of the nail.

MRP: Rs.75/- for 6ml

Shades Available : 40

These come in a small cute round bottle..the brush is amazing..super easy to use..they apply streak free and they come in different finish..matte, glossy, metallic, clear top coat..

And the best part, they stay ! It stayed on me for about 6 days before some minor chipping on the tips..

215 Keep Up The Flame is an amazing glossy pinky red.

503 Denim Dash is a matte denim blue with blue shimmer.

221 Buried Treasure is a beautiful bronze brown with hint of olive green duochrome with gold shimmer..my favorite of the lot ! It has a metallic kinda finish. I loved this shade..quite unique.

These are so good for different nail art too..only glitch is when layered for nail art, they take forever to dry..though individually they dry sooner..and did not work when different finish is combined for nail art..like the glossy one did not show up on matte.

Pros:

1. Economical.
2. 40 shades to choose from.
3. Different finishes.
4. Cute round packaging.
5. Easily available.
6. Dries quickly.
7. Easy to use brush.

9. Formaldehyde, DBP and Toluene free

Cons:

1. Some finish when combined do not work for nail art.
2. Takes time to dry when layered for nail art..though not individually.

I loved the fact that both the price and quantity is lower..coz its easy to finish up 6ml than those 15ml bottles..and saves on price too..plus we get to try more shades at the same rate..

I am in love with these..every shade I see..I fall in love with it 😀

New Maybelline 12H Colossal Kajal Review, Swatches
I had reviewed the Maybelline Colossal Kajal previously HERE. Now they have relaunched it in a darker and more long staying form..the previous one claimed 6 hours of wear and this one claims 12 hours..

Read on to know how it fares..

What the Company claims:

MRP: Rs.175/- for 0.35g

The packaging is the same..the same yellow swivel up mechanical pencil. Its nice, rich black and easy to apply..does not tug or pull.

Thats the whole qty

I did not like the previous one much..as it did not stay longer on my watery eyes..in fact no kohl stays longer than 2-3 hours on me..

But but this one did ! For almost 5-6 hours which is a very good thing considering my watery eyes. But it does smudge a little more than the previous one..that did not spread around giving raccoon eyes..this one does at times..

Here is the swatch..

L: Swatch R: After smudging

And on eyes..

Before, After

Pros:

1. Its nice dark black.
2. Glides on nicely..no tugging or pulling.
3. Reasonably priced.
4. Stays for 5-6 hours on my watery eyes ! Thats a long time for me 😀
5. It does not go away completely leaving your eyes bare..and there is always a hint of it till the time you remove it.
6. Does not smear much..the swatch did not budge from the hand.

Cons:

1. Claim of 12 hours..I am not really sure about.
2. No Ingredients mentioned.
3. Does give raccoon eyes at times..especially when eyes watery.
