There are a few repetitive shades, like the shimmery orange one and a few too many highlighter shades. It has a mix of shimmery, pearly and matte shadows. I wished there were few more darker greens and blues! Will do a detailed review later on. Hope this post helps! :)

Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine lipstick - Shade Coral Lustre Review

It's a lipbalm....umm..it's a lipgloss....No, it's a lipstick! Ha! ;)

Well, this was my expression when I first tried out the Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine lipstick. Today I would be reviewing the shade Coral Lustre, as per my lovely readers' request! :)

PRICE: Rs.399

QUANTITY: 3.5 g

WHAT IT CLAIMS:

• MIRROR-LIKE COLOR from micro-mirror pigments 
• CREAMIER FEEL from nourishing honey nectar 
• 10 lush lip shades(only 4 are available in India)

SWATCH:

2 swipes on hand

Multiple Swipes on lips.

 

MY EXPERIENCE: Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine lipstick is of soft, smooth and sheer texture, with a glossy finish. It has got a candy smell which is not OTT. The shade "Coral Lustre" is not an orangy coral but a pretty pink with a hint of coral. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't true coral but when I applied it I was really happy with the shade. It contains very fine shimmer which is noticeable only on close observation. However, if you apply it directly on chapped dry lips, you can feel a slight grittiness because of the shimmer. It does give that luscious lips effect. It's more like a lipgloss in a lipstick tube. It hydrates and moisturises too. 

A single swipe doesn't show up much color, so pigmented lips would require multiple swipes for full coverage. The price is a bummer considering the other Colorsensational range of lipsticks being so pocket friendly.  It lasts for 2-3 hours on me, and then fades away leaving a tint, though it doesn't dry out my lips. So, in a nutshell,

WHAT I LIKED:

• Soft and smooth texture that glides on like a gloss.
• Gives a high shine and glossy finish.
• Moisturising and hydrating.
• Has a nice fruity frangrance which is not OTT and almost tasteless. 
• The shimmers are subtle and not so visible. 
• Leaves a tint even when it fades away and doesn't dry out lips.
• Comes in a pretty packaging that reflects rainbow colors under different lights.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE: 

• Lasting power could have been better.
• Requires multiple swipes to show up the actual color, hence wouldn't last long.
• The price is steep than other Maybelline CS range lippies! (Why Maybelline, WHY??!! :( )
• The shade is not a true coral, which I believe to be like this.

VERDICT: This is my go to lipstick for this summer. Had the price was not so steep, I would have got some other shades too.If you like glossy, high shine lips then this won't disappoint you.

MY EXPERIENCE: When I first surfed the site b2nshop.com, I was excited to see that not only it houses the NYX products, but it sells authentic Sigma brushes too, alongside FaceFront Cosmetics, True Religion, Diesel, and Levis apparels as well as Bags and Accessories in the Women's section.

Under the NYX products category, there were many new products which I haven't seen yet at any other site here in India. 

The site offers great discounts and occasional sales that goes upto 50%.

I chose the NYX eyeshadow palatte of 78 colors, priced at US $21.25 (Original price US $25.00).

Shipping costs vary with the weight of products. They accept credit cards such as Discover, Mastercard, Visa, Diners Club International, American Express, JCB.

After my order was processed they sent me a mail about the dispatch of products and I received it today, i.e. within 10 days from date of delivery. They sent the product through USPS first clas mail.

The product came in a cardboard box, seating snugly in the sea of foam cubes. I was really glad to see that the product arrived safely and none of the shadows were broken. Check out the pics below!

P.S: I am thinking of doing a separate swatch post for this! Would you like that?

Overall, I really liked their huge inventory of NYX products, great discounts and quick and safe delivery. The international shipping costs are a bummer but much better than paying double/triple the price of the products from local Indian sites. I would like to suggest them to offer free international shipping once in a while.

Go check them out now. I hope you too have a great time shopping there.
