Colourpop Out And about Lip Bundle review

Lets know something about Colourpop first-
ColourPop was born, raised and made with love in the City of Angels. Founded in 2014 by Seed Beauty, we pride ourselves on being wallet friendly and bunny approved.

Price of the Lip Bundle- Usually $19 but I got it for $16 on sale.

Where did I get them from?

 I know you must be curious to know as to how I got them .I bought them from the website itself. They offer international shipping for $9.90 which I found a bit too high, but if its your first order with them, you can get a discount of $5 by registering your email . The coupon code is valid for the next 7 days .

Was I charged any customs?

Luckily I was not charged any customs because the price of the order was low.

How long did it take for the order to reach?

It took 15 working days for the order to reach; meanwhile I could track the order on the link provided by them.

About Out and about Lip Bundle-

Viper: Ultra Matte Lip; true dusty rose

Times Square: Ultra Matte Lip; muted pink beige

Baracuda: Ultra Satin Lip; warm deepened rose

My take on Out and About Lip Bundle-

Colourpop has extremely adorable lip bundles. I got three different shades – Viper, Times Square, Baracuda. They are three distinct shades and most of them will suit the Indian skin tone. Viper is a Ultra Matte Lip in a true dusty rose color. Times Square is a pink beige combination. Baracuda is a warm deepened rose color.

These come in a transparent packaging with a silver top which has a lip applicator. The transparent packaging helps to see the amount of product used. It can be applied easily. These stay up to 7 hours on my lips and then start fading a little after that. I usually remove them with Garnier Micellar water. The plus point is it doesn’t leave a stain.

Do I love this stuff?

Yes I love this lip bundle and will be purchasing more of these lip bundles.

Love Beauty Stuff Rating- 5/5

NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM IN PRAGUE – REVIEW AND SWATCH

Hey all,

NYX cosmetics has recently launched in India and is the talk of the town currently. Initially this brand was available on international sites or in Sephora but luckily they are now accessible through Nykaa.com. Isn’t that great?? This brand has good quality makeup stuff with many shades and varieties.

If you have been following our blog, I have already reviewed one of NYX soft matte lip cream in San Paulo , you can check the review here. Today I am going to review another shade from the matte lip cream range called Prague.

The names of these lip shades sound so classy . I am really fond of this range and so after searching for a shade for my skin tone, I chose Prague. Lets see how well it suits me??

About NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Prague:-

Now available in twelve more statement-making shades, our velvety smooth Soft Matte Lip Cream delivers a burst of creamy colour and sets to a stunning matte finish. Surprisingly durable, lightweight and delightfully creamy, it’s no wonder this sweetly scented formula is a NYX fan favourite.

Price–  Rs 600.

Availability– Available on Nykaa.com.

My Review on NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Prague:

 

NYX Prague is one of the best shades I have ever used . Though they have many awesome shades, I always like to try shades which are similar to  pink, berry and red. It comes in a normal lip gloss kind of packaging and has a black colour cap on it.

It is a nice berry shade with a hint of pink and I am sure it will be a hit with the Indian skin tones. On application, the colour glides on smoothly and looks perfect on exfoliated lips. It is anytime better to exfoliate your lips, apply a lip balm, wipe the lip balm with a tissue and then apply this lip colour. As this is a matte lip cream, it is advisable to do the above step or else it can settle in fine lines and make them visible.

After applying this lip colour, it feels very light and stays for a longer time. I really like lip colours which stay for a longer time . Talking about the price , I feel its really affordable and it can be used for a longer time

So , I would highly recommend this one for people who want to try something in berry shade. You will really like this one.

Enjoyy,
