Colorbar Kissproof Lipstick Oh Tempt Me Review

Hi ladies,

When it comes to Colobar, I am a little biased because I really like their lipsticks over other drugstore brands in India like Lakme, Chambor, L’Oreal or Maybelline. I like their bullet lipsticks most compared to the liquid ones. They are super affordable and good value for money. While going through insta-stories, their new launch of “Kiss Proof” lipsticks caught my attention. They have launched it in 6 shades so far and more are expected to be added soon to the collection. These lipsticks come in a thin bullet form, are creamy but dry matte. I picked the shade “Oh! Tempt Me” from this range and let’s get into the review straight away.

My Experience with Colorbar Kissproof Lipstick Oh Tempt Me:

Talking about the packaging first and foremost. To be honest, I do not like this packaging a lot since I do not find it sturdy. It is slim but looks fragile to me. The lipstick bullet placement is also not in the center and touches the edges a bit (you can see that in the pictures). The look is classic Colorbar silver tube with the brand name written in black. The box in which it comes packed is un-necessarily big! It might be some marketing gimmick. At first, when I saw the box, I was like “Woah! Looks like there is a brush inside for lipstick application.. or may be something else too” but was disappointed with nothing but just FREE air! The lipstick sits in the center with the grooves next to it so that it doesn’t move inside. What a sham!

Colorbar Kissproof Lipstick Oh Tempt Me comparison with other lipsticks

The product here is 1.9 gm compared to other lipstick bullets which are 4.2 gms (INR 650) and cheaper. Yes! This one is just 1.9 grams and costs INR 995. So, price again was a miss (2 misses and 0 hits so far).

When I opened the bullet, I was hit by a vanilla-like smell almost or I can say same as MAC, but much stronger! The texture is creamy and does set to an almost matte finish. On application, it glides very easily has a soft velvet feel to it.

“Oh Tempt Me” is a coral pink shade or a warm-toned pink that is a beautiful office wear shade and would look good even with heavy eye makeup.

It survives a meal very efficiently and starts to fade from the center of the mouth. It doesn’t dry out lips like a super matte or retro matte does. Even when I wiped my hand swatches, it did not go in 1-2 swipes like rest of the shades.

The pigmentation is good and one swipe does it all. Here are the few swatches to show you how the shade is like exactly. It would not have been enough just to write the shade is dusty pink or something else. I have similar shades from Colorbar, so this isn’t a very unique combination. I have hand swatched Amber, Hot-e, Damp, Pink Chiffon and Oh! Temp Me. The shade is very close to ‘Feel the rain collection- Damp’.. may be that’s the reason they made it permanent.

Would I Recommend Colorbar Kissproof Lipstick Oh Tempt Me?
I do not feel the need to buy this shade particularly, unless you are obsessed it. I will not suggest to buy this not any other shade because I did not find anything unique in this collection except the staying power. It’s a launch which is unnecessarily pricey which comes in a neglected packaging. So, it’s a nope for me!
