Himalaya Herbals Aloe & Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion| Review

Hi, guys! Today I am here with another review. Himalaya Herbals has recently launched a body lotion that claims to be a lightweight,  soothing, refreshing and at the same time hydrating. Let’s see if the Himalaya Herbals Aloe & Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion is actually true to its claims.

As summer is here with all its glory and intensity, we all are hunting for the most lightweight skincare and makeup products, aren’t we? Moisturizing is an important part of out skincare regime that we often tend to skip during this hot and humid weather. We might feel that we don’t need that extra moisture as the skin is always sweaty and moist, but the fact is that we still need to hydrate our skin right after cleaning our face and body. Cleansers or soaps has a tendency to remove the excess oils from our face and body, sometimes leaving them dry. Adding a layer of moisturizer will ensure your skin regains the moisture that was taken away by the soap/cleanser. Himalaya Herbals Aloe & Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion is exactly what you are looking for this summer. This product moisturizes your skin without making it greasy.

Packaging- The Himalaya Herbals Aloe & Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion comes in a white plastic bottle with a teal coloured flip-open plastic cap that closes tightly. The packaging is totally spill proof and travel-friendly. There is nothing exceptional about the packaging, it is like the patent Himalaya Herbals packaging.

Texture and Consistency- The texture and consistency of the Himalaya Herbals Aloe & Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion are really suitable for the summer. It is light-weight, has a lotion-y texture, not too thick nor too runny. I love it because it easily gets absorbed into the skin and does not at all feel like I have applied anything on my body. 

Fragrance- This product has a very refreshing, summery scent to it. The fragrance is not overpowering and lasts long.

Ups-

  • Sturdy packaging.
  • Light-weight.
  • Long-lasting.
  • Gets absorbed easily into the skin.
  • Refreshing fragrance.
  • Makes the skin soft and supple.
  • Apt for summers.

Downs-

  • May not suit someone with very dry skin.
  • Does not contain SPF.

Overall, I liked this new launch by Himalaya Herbals. The weightlessness of this lotion makes it my favourite lotion for summers. It barely feels like a lotion when applied, thus, it does not feel greasy. I have normal to dry skin and this body lotion provides the adequate amount of hydration to my body. It makes my skin touchably soft and hydrated. The best thing about this product is that it lasts long, for almost 5-6 hours on me. It also has a mild cooling sensation to it which makes me feel fresh every time I apply it. This product is meant for all skin types but I think it won’t suffice the needs of an extremely dry skin. I wish it had some sort of SPF to it.

Have you used the Himalaya Herbals Aloe & Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion yet? I hope you found this review helpful. Do pour in your thoughts in the comments. See you again in my next post. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels Aquamarine Agleam by Masaba Gupta| Review

If you are following my daily activities on Snapchat (Add me, Please? Username- sayantinee) then you must know about the gorgeous package I received from Fiama Di Wills a week ago. That box contained one of their precious gemstone shower gels that they launched recently. This Precious Gemstone Bath Collection consists of three of the Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels, namely, Aquamarine Agleam, Shimmering Diamond and Ravishing Ruby having the properties of the gemstones they are named after. This collection is designed by the very talented and acclaimed designer Masaba Gupta.

Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels by Masaba Gupta- Aquamarine Agleam Review| cherryontopblog.com

There was enough reasons for me to be excited about this collection. Firstly, it is designed by Masaba Gupta who is known for her unique sense of style and iconic designs. Secondly, it is really intriguing for me to use a shower gel that is claimed to be enriched with gemstone dust. A shower gel full of Aquamarine dust? How can one say no to it! Lastly, the packaging! You can’t even imagine how gorgeous it looks in the sun until you have seen it yourself. The box that the showers gels came in is uniquely designed and screams elegance and sophistication. I am totally in love with the packaging.

Before starting with my review and experience, I want to let you know more about the three variants in this Precious Gemstone Bath Collection. Descriptions are sourced from their website.

Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels Aquamarine Agleam

Clear and tranquil, aquamarine finds a place in history as a catalyst for beauty and youth. It was also considered a good luck charm for sailors and it was believed that the powers of this precious stone were at its peak when submerged in water. This Fiama Di Wills shower gel is enriched with aquamarine dust and skin conditioners, that detoxify skin to give you a youthful radiance.

Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels Shimmering Diamond

A girl’s best friend. That’s what they call diamonds, and rightfully so. A universally accepted symbol of love, this majestic stone has for centuries been lighting up a woman’s eyes. This Fiama Di Wills shower gel is infused with diamond dust and skin conditioners, that gently exfoliate skin to give you youthful, even-toned skin.

Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels Ravishing Ruby

A symbol of immortality, ruby for centuries has been believed to have the power to attract health, wealth and success. Derived from the latin word Rubeus, meaning red, this fiery stone now takes a new avatar in this indulgent gemstone infused shower gel. This Fiama Di Wills Shower gel blends ruby dust and skin conditioners, to give you supple, youthful skin.

Price- 399INR

Packaging- Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels Aquamarine Agleam comes in a bright teal coloured plastic bottle with a flip-open cap that closes tightly and ensures that there is no spillage. The bottle is really sturdy. There is nothing fancy about the bottles, very similar to the regular shower gels by Fiama Di Wills.

Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels by Masaba Gupta- Aquamarine Agleam Review| cherryontopblog.com

My thoughts- The product is quite iridescent blue/teal in colour and the consistency is very nice, exactly like a gel. It’s not runny, so perfect to apply. The gel lathers really well. It has a musky smell which is not very flattering to me. I wish it had a more feminine fragrance. Although the scent does not stay long on me but the freshness and clean feeling last for hours. It cleans the skin really well, leaving it soft, supple and fresh. The thing I most liked about this shower gel is that it does not leave that soapy feeling after shower unlike most of the shower gels.

Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewels by Masaba Gupta- Aquamarine Agleam Review| cherryontopblog.com

I really enjoyed my bath time using the Fiama Di Wills Shower Jewel Aquamarine Agleam. I think Fiama Di Wills has done a great job with the formulation and ingredients. It claims to result in a youthful skin. I found out that this shower gel makes my skin really soft, supple and hydrated. It did not dry out my skin, unlike other shower gels. It is like a conditioner for my skin.

My Haul from Skin18.com & Mini Review

Hi, guys! How are you all? Today, I am going to talk about the sheet masks and other products I received from Skin18.com. This is going to be a haul, website review and mini product reviews. This is a long pending post, so I don’t want to waste any more time and jump right into it.

If you are following me on Instagram and Snapchat (Username- sayantinee), you might know that I received a package from Skin18.com a month ago. You guys know me, I take forever to review skincare products. I tried them one by one, leaving a gap of almost a week to know how each of them would react to my skin and then I come to the conclusion. Now you know the reason for the delay!

About Skin18.com

Skin18.com is a website that focuses on Korean skincare products. They have a huge variety of masks, eye patches, nose strips, hand creams, moisturizers, serums etc. All the products they stock are good for your skin, they have products for all skin types. The mission of Skin18.com is to bring you products that would make you look 18 forever. They have some renowned brands like Holika Holika, Tony Moly, The Face Shop, Innisfree and so on.

What I got from Skin18.com

My Haul from Skin18.com & Mini Review| cherryontopblog.com

Coming to the hauling part, I want to show you what they sent to me. Basically, the products I received are sheet masks*, nose strips and a wash-off mask. Here is the list of the products-

  • Beauty Friends II Essence Mask Sheet Pack (Royal Jelly)
  • Four Seasons Multi Vita Brightening Active Mask
  • Luke Mugwort Nose Cleansing Strip
  • Luke Lemon Tea Tree Nose Cleansing Strip
  • It’s Skin Todak Todak Pack Nutrition (Wash-Off Mask) with Honey and Coconut

All these came in an envelope packaging.

Shipping Info

The best thing about Skin18.com is that they have worldwide shipping. They have free shipping on $40 for Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam and the USA and on $60 for the rest of the world.  Throughout their process of dispatch and delivery, they kept me posted about all the steps. It took exactly 12 days for the products to reach me from the date of dispatch which is great. Depending on your location and preferred shipping method, it generally takes from 6- 17 days for the products to reach you. My package which was marked as ‘gift‘ did not cost a penny for customs.

Reviews of the Products I got from Skin18.com

Here are the mini reviews of the products I received from Skin18.com. I have combination skin that becomes very oily during summers. All views are based on my personal experience. So, it may vary from others. Let’s start-

My Haul from Skin18.com & Mini Review| cherryontopblog.com

Beauty Friends II Essence Mask Sheet Pack (Royal Jelly)-This sheet mask is supposed to moisturize your face and it does that perfectly. The description tells you to apply it on a well-cleansed face and leave it there for 20-30. You are not supposed to rinse your face off after removing the mask, allowing the nutrients to soak into your skin. This mask made my skin soft and supple. I applied it in the night and the effect lasted till the next morning. This mask is priced at $0.80.

Four Season Multi Vita Brightening Active Mask- This mask, as the name suggests, contains multi vitamins such as Vitamin B5, Vitamin C and Vitamin E which are known to work wonders for your skin. This mask is supposed to do a lot of things like whitening, regeneration, antibacterial wound treatment, anti-aging, moisturizing, prevention of acne, prevention of allergy and immunity control. I just used this for once and I have only noticed a revitalized skin after using it. It does not do anything to the complexion of your skin. This is priced at $0.95.

Luke Mugwort Nose Cleansing Strip // Luke Lemon Tea Tree Nose Cleansing Strip- I never used a nose strip before I got to try these. You have to apply it on slightly wet nose for them to stick to the nose perfectly. You need to let them sit there until they become dry and then you have to pull them off the nose. I showed a demo of it on my Snapchat if you remember. Both the strips works amazing on blackhead and whiteheads. They remove them perfectly. Yes, it hurts a bit but it is definitely worth the pain. I am looking forward to getting a box full of them! The Lemon tea tree one has a strong tea tree fragrance which some of you may not like. I did not have any problem with that. They are priced at $0.65 each.

My Haul from Skin18.com & Mini Review| cherryontopblog.com

It’s Skin Todak Todak Pack Nutrition (Wash-Off Mask) with Honey and Coconut- If you guys follow me on Snapchat you will know the whole process of me trying this mask for the first time. It is basically a gel based face pack, almost has a jelly-like texture to it and it is transparent. It doesn’t dry off on your face, unlike other wash-off masks. When I tried it for the first time,  I was not satisfied with it. But, after that, I found it to be great for my skin. It moisturized my skin very well, plus, it made my skin tighter. It can be used as a wash-off mask and also as a sleeping mask. It feels a bit warm on the and extremely hydrating. This pack contains coconut and manuka honey. It comes in a 10ml packaging which good for at least two uses. I used it for four times. This one is a bit pricey, $2.85 for a 10ml pack.

Overall, I liked these products from Skin18.com a lot. All these products are tested to treat various skin problems. I myself have seen and experienced good results on my skin. They did not cause any allergies or breakouts. I am looking forward to trying their eye-patches and more sheet masks. I highly recommend the sheet masks* from Skin18.com.

*Sheet masks are ready-made masks made of disposable cotton sheets, drenched in a solution of nutrients that are supposed to work as a facial treatment for various purposes.

I hope you found this review helpful. If you did then please comment below saying what you feel about this post. I value your opinions. If you want me to post a detailed review on any of these then let me know in the comments. I will be happy to do it for you. Until next time, be safe & keep smiling!

Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder| Review & Swatches

Hello, all!

Recently, I was on a hunt for a good loose powder for every day. You know how hot and humid is West Bengal right now. So, I was thinking of ditching my compacts and try a loose powder instead. Today I am going to review something that I had been testing for more than two weeks and am finally ready to share my opinion with you. I am talking about the Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder. I had heard a lot of good things about their Ultime Pro range, especially the lip products but never got to try them.

Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder, as the brand describes, is an innovative non-comedogenic formulation which offers protection from harmful UV radiation and imparts a silky, irresistible touch to facial skin. It does not clog pores and is hypoallergenic. It comes with a unique, spill-proof, easy-to-use applicator. Suitable for light to medium coverage on all skin types.

Price- 699 INR

Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder Review and Swatches | cherryontopblog.com

Packaging- Faces does an amazing job in terms of packaging. No matter what the price tags are, all their products come in a sleek, black outer packaging. It gives the feeling of a higher end product. The Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder comes in a black, plastic case with a metallic screw lid. The lid has an attached sponge/puff as an applicator. The case has a sifter that is used for dispensing the right amount of product and to ensure there is no spillage. The packaging is very thoughtful which I liked.

Application- You can apply the product directly using the puff, which I don’t usually do. I like to use a powder brush instead. I take a fluffy eye brush and swirl it on the sifter and set my under-eye concealer and for the rest of my face, I use a medium powder brush.

Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder Review and Swatches | cherryontopblog.com

Shade- Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder comes in 5 shades i.e. Natural Beige, Ivory Beige, Golden Beige, Honey Beige and Sand Beige. I got the shade Golden Beige which has a yellow undertone to it. Although the shade looks pretty dark in the container but it looks natural when blended into my skin. It will suit medium someone with skin tone perfectly.

Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder Review and Swatches | cherryontopblog.com

Texture- The texture of the Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder is silky smooth. It is a very finely milled powder that goes on smoothly on the skin. The product is very lightweight which makes it useful for summers.

Coverage- The coverage of this product is not completely sheer as it is not a translucent powder. It gives a very light coverage when applied using the puff that comes with it. It does not cover blemishes or any kind of discoloration or marks. Being a light coverage product, there is no chance of it making your face cakey.

Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder Review and Swatches | cherryontopblog.com

Wear Time- This product stayed onto my face for almost 6 hours which is pretty good for this weather. It does not control oil or sweat, not does it clog the pores.

Ups-

  • Nice and handy packaging.
  • Easy to use.
  • Light-weight.
  • Comes with a puff.
  • Nice texture.
  • Has a nice sheen.
  • Gives a natural finish.
  • Good staying power.

Downs-

  • Light coverage.
  • Does not come with any SPF.
  • Does not control oil.

Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder Review and Swatches | cherryontopblog.com

Overall, I really liked the Faces Ultime Pro Mineral Loose Powder as it is suitable for all skin types and is very lightweight. I use it every time I step out of the house, especially if I am in a hurry. I use it in two ways, sometimes I usually dust it all over my face just set my makeup and mattify the skin a little bit, but sometimes I like to use it to bake my makeup. This product has a slight sheen to it which gives out a very subtle glow to the skin. The brilliantly handy packaging makes it travel-friendly and easy to use. Although it has a very light coverage I like it because I don’t necessarily want my compact or powders to be full coverage. I just like to use them to set my foundation and concealer.  This product, in my opinion, does not do something really exceptional for your face. The price tag, thus, is slightly higher for the job it does. I would have really appreciated if they had SPF to it. I would recommend you guys to try out this product if you are looking for a powder that would give a natural finish.

Which is your favourite powder/compact at the moment?

I hope you liked the review. If you did then do share it with your friends who might find this helpful. Let me know your thoughts on this product in the comments below. Until next time, be safe & keep smiling!

Ezebee.com- A Hassle-free Online Marketplace| Review

Hey, everyone! Today’s review is going to be about an online platform meant for freelance buying and selling. Ezebee.com is a free online marketplace that is specially designed for medium or small business owners who want to showcase their products to international online market. The sellers get a worldwide free access to their own website and get to sell directly to interested, genuine buyers.

We all love shopping. Sometimes, in a spree, we buy a lot of things that we later find to be unnecessary for us. Sometimes, we are bored of clothes and want to sell them off. The only thing we look for then is a perfect platform and some genuine buyers. Ezebee.com could become a life-saver at that point of time. My wardrobe is full of clothes that don’t fit me properly but are brand new. I am happy to found this website right at the time I needed something like it.

Ezebee.com- A Hassle-free Online Marketplace Review| cherryontopblog.com

Recently, I was invited to create an account with them and explore their services. On the basis of my observation, I am going to share some information about it with you. Ezebee.com is an international online marketplace for buying and selling products, services, rentals and even career opportunities. There are multiple categories from fashion to art, home décor, furniture, educational services, basically anything and everything.

How ezebee.com Works-

If you are a brand or business or an individual who is planning to sell their products off through an online platform and intending to attract a lot of genuine and suitable buyers then you just need to create a profile and directly sell from there or if you are a brand and maintain a separate free online shop for yourself then you can just create a page and sell from there. It is so easy!

If you are a buyer then just register, choose what you want to buy, contact the seller and pay the money. You’ll soon receive your product(s).

Ezebee.com- A Hassle-free Online Marketplace Review| cherryontopblog.com

Payment Method- One can pay using their e-wallet on ezebee.com which allows you to pay directly from the website like an e-bank account. You can earn EZB coins by selling your products on their platform for EZB Coins as a payment method. EZB coins allow users to buy and sell products without the use of money which is great for those who are a little novice in international transactions. Payments are completely safe and secure.

Features that make ezebee.com the Best Online Marketplace-

ezebee.com has several features that make it the best choice for both sellers and buyers. There is an Import option that can be used to import products to ezebee.com from any other websites. There is also a Chat and Buy option which is really helpful for buyers and sellers to communicate with each other without any hassle. They have a mobile first feature, making it a bit easier for you. If you sign up using Facebook, they offer you a chance to have your own free facebook shop using the Facebook Shop App. It will cause a lot more exposure to your page on ezebee.com.

What I liked about ezebee.com

  • Responsive layout.
  • Easy navigation.

Plum Natur Studio All-Day-Wear Kohl Kajal Review & Swatches

Hi, guys! Hope you are doing well. Today, I’ll be reviewing something that I have been loving since I got my hands on it. I have been raving about it on my Instagram and Snapchat if you noticed. It is the Plum Natur Studio All-Day-Wear Kohl Kajal. Ever since I heard bloggers talking about this on their blogs, I thought to try one myself and see the results.

Before starting with the review let me share a few things about me. I have extremely oily eyelids. Both my upper and lower waterline are oily and no eyeliner (even some waterproof ones) stays for more than 3 hours on my eyes. I was frantically looking for a kajal that would stay on my eyes forever. Finally, when I read about Plum’s Natur Studio Kohl, I knew this the one that is going to be my best friend for life.

Price- 425INR

Plum Nature Studio Kajal Review| cherryontopblog.com

Packaging- The packaging of the Plum Natur Studio All-day-wear Kohl kajal is definitely distinct from the other eyeliners available in the market. It is a bright purple pencil with a regular plastic cap. It does not come with any outer packaging.

Plum Nature Studio Kajal Review| cherryontopblog.com Plum Nature Studio Kajal Review| cherryontopblog.com

Texture- The texture of this Plum Natur Studio All-day-wear Kohl kajal is hands down the best I have ever tried. It is smooth, almost like a gel eyeliner packaged as a pencil liner. It is slightly comparable to the Kryolan Ikonic Gel Eyeliner Pencils, Kryolan being a bit smoother.

Plum Nature Studio Kajal Review| cherryontopblog.com
Left- Single Swipe; Right- Two Swipes

Plum Nature Studio Kajal Review| cherryontopblog.com

Application- As you might have assumed reading about the texture of this product, the application is really smooth and even. It glides on easily on the leads because of the gel-eyeliner-like texture. It takes very less time to apply the kajal on both the upper and lower lids.

Wear Time- The wear time of this Plum Natur Studio All-day-wear Kohl kajal is amazing. The company claims it to be a long-lasting kajal which is absolutely true. It stayed 10 hours on me! I still cannot believe this. I have been trying this for more than a week and every time it lasted on me super long, 8 hours in average. Also, it has a waterproof formula that makes it my favourite.

Ups-

  • Trendy, sleek and travel-friendly packaging.
  • Comes with a sharpener.
  • Soft, gel liner like texture.
  • Applies smoothly and evenly.
  • Long-lasting.
  • Completely waterproof.
  • Doesn’t irritate my eyes.

Downs-

  • Sharpening causes wastage of product.

My Experience with Plum Natur Studio Kohl Kajal

This is so far the best waterproof eyeliner I have ever used. It has a very smooth, creamy, almost gel-liner-like texture. It’s not drying, gives a smooth and even application. The best part, it is long-lasting as the company claims. Stayed on me for 10 hours surviving the hot and humid weather of West Bengal. Completely waterproof, does not wear off even after being wriggled with soap. Comes out without being a mess when removed using a makeup remover. This has become my favourite eyeliner and I am definitely going to stock a few more. The sharpener that came with it is a great one. It comes with a tiny tool to clean-up after using it.

I highly recommend this kajal to everyone if you like creamy, jet-black and long-lasting eyeliners. The Plum Natur Studio Kohl Kajal has a bit higher price tag but it is something you would like to spend your money on. I can vouch for that. Let me know if you used this kohl and it made it to your favourites.

I hope you found this review helpful. Until next time, be safe & keep smiling!

The Concept of Affimity- The New-Age Social Network for Bloggers

Hello, guys! Today, I am going to introduce you to the next-gen social networking site that offers the best content among all. We all know the value of a social media platform in the lives of bloggers. Affimity gives bloggers the chance to share their views with like-minded people and helps in reaching the content to the greatest extent possible. Basically, Affimity helps in growing your reach by letting you share your content with some groups/channels that are of your niche.
In this cluttered world of social networks, there are a lot of people in your circles that might not be your actual target audience. Affimity helps you find your target audience who might hear your voices and be interested in it. In this way, your content gets maximum visibility and organic shares. This is the ultimate purpose of Affimity. When you see your content getting lost in the flood of meaningless status updates, photos, and random memes you get to know that this platform is not for you. It might be good for recreations but definitely not a good place to share your blog posts. Because most of your posts do not actually reach your ideal audience. The interest-specific sharing drives organic traffic and gives your blog the best recognition.
Affimity is basically a Bengaluru and San Fransisco based start-up founded by Ramana Venkata who is also the CEO of the company. 

The entire thing works in an easy and simple way. At the time of signing up, you are given some questions that you have to answer before starting. These questions help them decide the perfect channels for you. Then you get some suggestions to choose your choice of channels from their database. For my answers, I was given the choices of Food, Travel, Beauty and Book Club which are quite apt for me as I am a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blogger and I review books as well. So, these channels would provide me my target audience quite well. Later, I chose the two more channels Fashion and Wellness. There are several other channels present on Affimity to make the user experience better and the search much more precise. The other channels that they have are Technology, Parenting, Bollywood, DIY, Fitness, Random Thoughts, Movies etc.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Sultry | Review, Swatches & LOTD


Hello everyone, today’s review is on my favourite of the Revlon Matte Balms and it is the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm Sultry. If you are following me on FaceBook you would know I have shared a picture of a Shopperstop package and asked you to guess what I got for myself. Today, I am sharing it. How can I be left behind while the whole nation is raving about the Revlon Matte Balms that has been recently launched in Indian market along with the other variant i.e. Lacquer Balms! When I first saw international beauty bloggers reviewing Matte Lip Crayons and swatching the Matte Balms, I was head over heels in love with the lovely shades. As I was preparing my list for the shades I was about to procure from the U.S., I heard the good news. The super-gorgeous lippies were introduced to India! 

I have used their Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and loved them. As a matte lipstick lover, I got to try out the Matte Balms. There are 8 scrumptious shades, from pinks to reds, plums to browns. I had shortlisted 3 shades from this range, among which, two were pink. Not all pinks suit my skin tone so without taking any risk I chose the 3rd one, which is named as Sultry.

Packaging: These Matte Balms come in a wonderful matte packaging. It comes in a pencil/crayon kind of form with a twist-up bottom and a tight cap. You don’t need to sharpen them, only twist the bottom.

Shade: I am really bad at describing colours, but I will try to do it for you. Sultry is actually a mixture of matte pink, plum and brown, as my eyes can identify. Whatever it is, I like it very much. It will suit almost all Indian skin tones.
 
Product (Texture, Pigmentation & Staying power): The product is very creamy in texture and easily glides on the lips. It gives a decent coverage in a single swipe and goes absolutely opaque in two swipes. You don’t need to layer it but if you want to make it more intense, you can always layer it up. It doesn’t give you the powdery, drying matte effect, it actually has a velvety matte formula which doesn’t let your lips dry out. I have a tendency to eat up my lipsticks, nothing stays on my lips more than 2-3 hours, does that happen to any of you or I am the only one with this feature on this planet?! 

Anyways, this lipstick stays on for good 3-4 hours on me, can stay a little bit more on others. It transfers a little when touched. Doesn’t feather out or doesn’t leave any stain behind when wiped off.
 
Ups:

Stylish, sturdy, matte packaging.
Travel-friendly.
No need to sharpen.
A lovely shade that would suit any Indian skin tone.
Creamy yet matte finish, good for Indian summer and this horrid humidity.
Decent wear-time, almost 3-4 hours.
Nice coverage, eliminates dark patches and uneven tone decently.
Easily available on any Shoppers Stop outlet, can be found online at Shoppersstop.com.Downs:

A little transferrable.
Will make a hole in your pocket.

All I have to say is: If you have loved Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and if you love matte lip crayons, you must go for the Revlon Matte Balms. Those who love hint of pink on their lips without going crazy and aren’t actually very adventurous with lipsticks can definitely get a hold of this lipsticks. This range has 9 other lovely shades to choose from- Elusive, Unapologetic, Standout, Audacious, Striking, Shameless, and Mischievous. 
 
My Rating: I will deduct 2 points for the excessively high price. Thus, it will get an 8/10 rating from me.
 

Will I buy it again?Though I love the shade and the formula very much but I don’t have any plan to buy it again. If I make my mind, I will mind any other shade from this range. I am waiting for a discount now.
