Hello lovelies! Today I am going to review Lotus Herbals Seduction™ Botanical Tinted Lip gloss in Shade Lychee Squash that I was sent along with the Moist petal lipstick in Red Rover just before Diwali (diwali gift..eh? :P ). As I stated in my last post, Lotus Herbals has recently launched their Festive Glam collection with 6 new trendy shades in their MoistPetals™ range and 5 exciting shades of their Seduction™ LipGloss, and Lychee Squash belongs to this collection.
PRICE: Rs. 225
QUANTITY: 5 ml.
WHAT IT CLAIMS: "A unique, high gloss lip care formulation with a non-sticky feel. Enriched with botanical extracts of Grapes and Jojoba that make lips soft and supple for long. The unique product qualities are: Sponge Brush Applicator for smooth even application,Freedom to use as top coat without affecting lip color."
INGREDIENTS: It contains botanical extracts of Grapes & Jojoba that keep your lips soft & moisturized all day long. This premium innovative lip gloss is 100% vegetarian & free of animal products, making it absolutely safe. The whole list is not given.
SWATCH:
MY EXPERIENCE: The shade Lychee Squash is a light pink gloss with brown undertones, with loads of shimmer/sparkle packed in and hence would give nice shimmery coverage to both pinkish and brownish lips. It looks great both on bare lips and on top of lipsticks. I use it on top of my Red Rover MoistPetal lipstick and it looks absolutely gorgeous.I loved everything about the gloss, except for the fact the sparkles in the gloss spreads over the mouth area when it is wiped off which I really hate!
WHAT I LIKED:
- It is non-sticky unlike other lip glosses.
- It is very moisturizing due to the presence of Jojoba Oil.
- It gives a high shine, blingy/shimmery effect to the lips and I just love to use it on top of the Red Rover lipstick.
- Pretty decent coverage being a light lipgloss and stays on lips like any other gloss for 2-3hrs.
- Comes at a decent price for the quantity and quality.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
- The sparkles spreads over the mouth and removing it is a pain.
- I didn't like the smell though it is quite subtle.
- It is very shimmery and not suitable for office wear.
- Transfers to objects, but that's a problem with all glosses.
VERDICT: If you are fond of blingy/shimmery lips these are just perfect for the evening/night outs. I really liked it and might try out some other shades too.
RATINGS: 4.25 out of 5

Hello beauties! Today I am back with another review of a new addition to my modest lipstick stash i.e. the Lotus Herbals MoistPetals™ Lipstick in Shade Red Rover. Lotus Herbals has recently launched their Festive Glam collection with 6 new trendy shades in their MoistPetals™ range and 5 exciting shades of their Seduction™ LipGloss. I was sent 1 lipstick and 1 Lipgloss from this collection to try out. This was my first experience with their MoistPetals range and here is my view on it.
PRICE: Rs.349
QUANTITY: 4.2g
WHAT IT CLAIMS: "A premium quality luxurious lip color which hydrates, nourishes & protects lips for hours with symphytum officinale & plantage oyata seed botanical extracts. 100% vegetarian: no animal ingredients."
INGREDIENTS : Lotus Herbals MOISTPETALS™ lip colours contain botanical extracts of Symphytum Officinale & Plantago Oyata Seeds. Complete list is not given.
SWATCH:
MY EXPERIENCE: Lotus Herbals Moist Petals Red Rover is a bright red lipstick (a first one for me!) with some orangish undertones. It gives a silky/satin finish to the lips, decently moisturises the lips and stays on for quite a few hours. Once swipe gives full coverage to the lips.When I tried it for the first time I went on with the full blown color but the shade didn't suit my yellow undertones or maybe I am a bit awkward wearing such bright shades, then I have been using it just dabbing on my lips lightly and top it off with the new Seduction™ gloss (review coming up soon) and I can carry it this way with much ease. So all in all I would say,
WHAT I LIKED:
- Gives a nice silky, satin finish to the lips.
- One swipe gives nice coverage to the lips.
- Stays on easily for 2-3 hrs. I haven't tried it with meals in between though so can't comment on that.
- The packaging is very sturdy and the lipstick stub would not melt in high temperatures since it is not that creamy.
- Smell is decent and not overpowering.
- A wide range of shades are available.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
- I can't wear this particular shade in it's full intensity.
- Transfers to objects easily.
VERDICT: This shade is perfect for bridal wear or evening party and would brighten up the face instantly. So if you are looking for something similar then go ahead with this one.
