Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick- Pink Persuasion| Review, Swatch, Price| Cherry On Top Blog

Hi guys, hope you are doing well. Today, I am going to present to you a much awaited review. I think I have posted a sneak-peek of this about 3 months ago on my Facebook page but did not get a chance to write. So, I thought of posting it today. Today’s review is of one of my favourite lipsticks that is the Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick in the shade Pink Persuasion. 

If you guys know me then you must know how much I love lip colours. I don’t step out without putting my favourite lip color on. I mostly love matte shades but they usually tend to dry my lips out during the colder months of the year so I like to replace my matte lipsticks with the moisturizing ones. I make sure to apply the lipsticks that are creamy but not glossy. I found this range of lipsticks from Steer Wear that is perfect for me. I got the shade Pink Persuasion for me because when it comes to lipsticks I have an inclination towards pinks. You might have seen this lipstick in my Aplava Haul post. I have been loving this lipstick since then and have started using continuously from the beginning of this month. Now, let’s jump into the review-
Price- Rs 220

The shade, Pink Persuasion is a part of the re-launched range of Ultra Moist lipsticks by Street Wear. This range was primarily priced at Rs 180 but now it retails for Rs 220.

Packaging- The lipstick bullet is housed in a pretty, black, plastic packaging with a clear cap which has a pop-art print on it. This makes the packaging really attractive. The packaging somehow reminds me of The Balm packaging. I felt the packaging is not that sturdy. Plus, the lipstick does not complete go inside the bullet which I feel is really annoying because then there is a possibility of damage when you try to put the cap on.

Shade- Pink Persuasion is a very wearable rosy pink with a hint of coral. The subtlety of the shade makes it appropriate for any occasion such as office, party or dates be it daytime or night time. Because of the red undertone, it can suit every complexion very well.

Texture/ Pigmentation/Wear Time- The texture of the lipstick is very creamy. It glides on really easily and does not settle into creases. It moisturizes the lips really well thus it is perfect for those who have dry lips throughout the year. It’s a perfect pick for winter time as we tend to have chapped lips during this time of the year.

The pigmentation is surprisingly good for the price you pay. It covers up my dark upper lip well with 2-3 coats. It manages to give an decent finish on the first swipe. You can build up the colour for more intensity.

The staying power of this lipstick is also good for such a low price. It lasts about good 3-4 hours on my lips without eating and drinking anything.

Ups-

  • Universally flattering shade. 
  • Creamy texture that gives out a semi-matte finish after application.
  • Lightweight formula.
  • Moisturizes lips very well.
  • Doesn’t settle into creases. 
  • Decently pigmented. 
  • Buildable colour.
  • Has a decent wear time.
  • Available in stores and leading e-commerce sites. 

Downs-

  • The packaging must have been more sturdy.
  • I wish I had a longer staying power. 

Overall, I am happy with my purchase. It comes handy whenever I fail to decide on the perfect lipstick. It’s more like a tinted lip balm that feels light on m lips yet giving the right amount of tinge for an everyday look. For a tinted-lip-balm-and-mascara person like me it’s a best option that too within budget.

Do you own any of the Street Wear lippies? 
Which is your favourite shade?


Recently Maybelline launched the Pink Alert lipsticks from their Colorsensational range. The Pink Alert range consists of four pretty shades of Pink, POW1, POW2, POW3 and POW4. Among all these, I thought the shade POW2 will suit me the best. I was a little late to buy it, but better late than never!

So, today I am here to review POW2 for you all.

Maybelline ColorSensational Pink Alert Lipstick- POW 2

Product Category: Lipstick

Brand: Maybelline 

Price: 375 INR for 3.9 gms


Packaging: Maybelline Pink Alertlipsticks come in cute pink packaging wrapped in a plastic wrap that proclaims the words “Pink Alert”. When the plastic wrap is removed from the product, it leaves the packaging with no label or description on it. The packaging is the usual Colorsensational packaging that Maybelline is manufacturing for years. Just the color is different.

Shade: POW 2 from Pink Alert range has a distinctive bright pink shade with a blue undertone. This shade is suitable for almost all Indian skin tones. I have a wheatish skin tone and it brightens up my whole face instantly.

Product- Texture, Pigmentation & Staying Power: The product is very creamy itself. You don’t need to apply a lip balm before applying the lipstick. The creaminess results in a smooth application. Maybelline claims it to be the honey nectar which provides the creaminess in the lipstick. This product gives your lips a great even coverage. Now you don’t have to worry about concealing your pigmented lips before applying a pink lippie. The only con I have found out is that it somehow accentuates the darkness around the lips if you have any. POW 2 stays on your lips for a good 4-5 hours and leaves a pretty hint of pink behind even after you wipe it off. I went for a movie applying it followed by a lunch and after all these my lips weren’t bare at all. 

Ups:
  • Nice bright shade to jazz up your summer look. 
  • Cute packaging. 
  • Nicely pigmented.
  • Decent staying power.
  • Reasonably priced.


Downs:

  • Transfers a bit. 
  • Slightly accentuates the pigmentation/darkness around the lips.

Of course, yes! If you want to have a good quality pink lipstick within budget, you must buy this. 

My Rating: This lippie can obviously get an 8 out of 10!
