Lip Colors

2016-favorite-lipsticks

Chambor Extreme Wear 435 Transferproof Liquid Lipstick: A perfect, true red that actually flatters my skin tone. It adds a charm and does not make me look “mature”.

ColourPop Frick Nโ€™ Frack Ultra Satin Lip: My absolute favorite lip color for the year. It goes with anything and everything – makeup and outfits. Plus, the formula is so comfortable.

Colorbar 007 Haute Latte Kiss Proof Lip Stain: Another favorite. This shade has started my love affair with nudes. I was all about pinks, otherwise.

Colorbar 008 Rustic Kiss Proof Lip Stain: This one does accentuate the fine lines a bit but what a lovely color this is.

Lime Crime Saint Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick: Got it in a gift pack. ๐Ÿ˜€ Looks like a nice dark red with a hint of brown on my skin tone.

NYX Lip Cream Antwerp: A pretty coral pink. I love it mainly for the formula.

Chambor Extreme Wear 401 Transferproof Liquid Lipstick: I cannot live without pinks. Can you? This pink is so different. This is a flattering pink with a hint of neon. Looks great on dates. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lip Care

Natio Ageless Illuminating Primer: A blessing for dry skin, especially in colder months.

Lakme Eyeconic kajal: I didn’t know what love was until this kajal came into my life. Easy to use, pigmented with such a fab staying power.

Clinique Chubby Lash Fattening Mascara Jumbo Jet: This is my second tube and will repurchase. A great value for money mascara. Its performance and feel on the lashes justify the price for sure.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Plus [+] : Regular usage has faded a lot of marks and spots, and has improved my complexion. But it does take some time to show results.

Innisfree Aloe Revital Soothing Gel: I have been using it everyday on my skin. Read about aloe vera’s beauty benefits here.

The Natureโ€™s Co Corn Exfoliating Face Pack: I agree, this is an overpriced product. But it is a really good one. Exfoliates and cleanses the skin like no other.

Philips Bikini Genie Bikini Trimmer BRT382/15: Honestly, I do not have the patience to bear waxing pain and depilatory creams are torturous. This trimmer plus shaver is so simple, easy and safe to use on the bikini area. A highly recommend!

  1. Hi..
    I want to try chambor liquid lipsticks..can u plz tell me that is it as dry as the colorbar ones? Is the reapplication as difficult as colorbar ones?? Actually I tried Palm beach shade from the colorbar kiss proof stain range..for me it was worst thing ever..but seeing the colour of haute latte and rustic, I want try these shades..should I try these two from colorbar or you tell me some dupes for colour(it can be in lipstick formula as well).
    So many queries I have ..plz try to answer them plz.

    1. Hi Aishwarya,

      I find Chambor lipsticks more forgiving. It’s just that I love these two Colorbar shades so much that I can work my way around them. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Haute Latte is a very flattering and unique shade but I could not find its dupe. I was also looking for it some time back.

      You could check out these two lipsticks as these are the closest I could find for you. ๐Ÿ™‚
