LOTUS HERBALS LIPSTICKS IN CARNATION AND ALMOND RUST:

Packaging:
I love the packaging. It is wheatish in colour with gold lotus printed on it. It opens up to get a metallic gold inner rim. The classy packaging looks a little too much for the price so it is a win-win when it comes to packaging

Formula:
The formula is very creamy. It is neither very moisturizing and not very dry. It is higly pigmented and stays up to 4 hours.

Colours: 
Almond rust is a nutty brown amazing to sport brown lips. It looks almost like cadbury chocolate brown. it brightens up your complexion.
Carnation is more like fuchsia pink in a more creamy way. I love this colour and also hate it sometimes. It reduces my complexion and looks weird on me. 

Will I buy this again:
I will try other colours but at the store will not risk buying it online. 

Love,

ELF essential lipsticks review

Hello everyone. I know I am back after a very long gap and i am really sorry. I had my parents 25th anniversary to celebrate so I was very very busy all those days. After the anniversary I had to spend some time with my lovely cousins. Since the past few weeks my mood was really off due to some issues and it took some time for me to come out of it and concentrate on my life.
Coming to today's lip products, These are lipsticks by Elf. Eyes. Lips.Face is a popular brand in the US known for its quality make up at an affordable price. You can see number of videos in you tube from famous makeup guru's telling about their ELF favorites.
As most of you know I have my best friend in the US, we both discussed and thought of trying this brand. She sent me some products from ELF among which are these lipsticks.
I must say I love the names of these lipsticks. They are so girly and chick that I sometimes wear them just for those names. I have the ones named VODOO, POSH, CLASSY,  FANTASY, NOSTALGIC and FEARLESS

I must say these lipsticks are worth the price. They are all matte shades when topped up with a gloss look amazing. I wear them very often and personally like few shades to the core.

Overall review:
Pros:
Nice packaging for the price
Very affordable
Pigmentation is fine
Worth trying 

Cons:
The lipstick is not very creamy but it is very dry. 
 Not easily available in India

Overall Rating: 3/5

Will I buy these again: I may get these again to try different shades.

VODOO:

Vodoo is a brownish maroon shade. It is quite dark and looks amazing on fairer to wheatish complexion people. It instantly brightens up your face.

POSH:

Posh is almost close to Vodoo but this does not a brown tint in it. Posh is more like a pinkish maroon.

CLASSY:

Classy is such a pretty pink. It is a candy pink. Looks lovely on fairer complexion people. Acts like a nude pink.

FANTASY:

Fantasy is a chocolate brown. It is a beautiful brown which suits Indian skin.

NOSTALGIC:

Nostalgic is a pink brown. It is a nude pink. It has little brown in it. 

FEARLESS:

Fearless is an amazing red. I absolutely love this colour.  My beautiful neice wanted something to play with and she accidentally found this. that explains the situation of the lipstick above

Favourite shades:
FEARLESS, POSH

Love,
Mounika Roches.
