Elle 18 Color Burst Lipsticks- Strawberry Falls and Berry Ice Review and Swatches!

Hey guys!

Today I am going to review two lipsticks from Elle 18 Color Burst range. I had got them last year from Urbantouch.com. I am not a lipstick person at all..but still wanted atleast two for special occasions.




Price:-  Rs. 100/-

Packaging:- The lipstick comes in a very cute black plastic packaging. It's not much sturdy but what that's okay for the price.
p.s.-You can see the packaging of Strawberry Falls looks dull whereas the other one looks new and shiny. You'll know the reason below.


What I think about them?- 
I don't really like them that much. Although the Strawberry Falls one is good and better than Berry Ice.
The Berry Ice one is frosty finish with glitter! And let me tell you the glitter sticks on to your lips and I hate that! The other one is used up because my mom uses it sometimes. So I gave it to her and hence the Berry Ice looks so new.. :P

Pros:-
1. Inexpensive
2. Some colors are good
3. Doesn't dry your lips

Cons:-
1. Less pigmented
2. The glitter particles stick to your lips
3. Some might feel a little drying (this for you Berry Ice!)
4. Not long-lasting

Here are the Swatches of both:-

Will I re-purchase these?- NO!!

Just Candy Lipstick in Smoke Rose Review!

Hey everyone!
So now I am reviewing a lipstick which I got last year and you might have seen it in some super old haul!

This lipstick is from a brand called Just Candy! Never heard about it right! Same here!
But hey, I was in a hurry and wanted to get a lipstick for some occasion in college and also low on budget.. So when the lady at the store told me its only for 100 INR/- I got it!
I got it in a shade called Smoke Rose. Its a dull pink color with little shimmer in it or it has a frosty finish. Its not matt.

Packaging: It comes in a dark plum color plastic packaging which seems cheap! Ohh and its manufactured by some Viva Cosmetics.



Here are the swatches: swatched twice.
in natural light
swatch in Flash

I have used this less than ten times I think. I don't like it, its drying and the frosty finish makes me look older..that's what I think..
So this review is gonna be really short..and I suggest not to buy this lipstick!
But I have a lipgloss from it too which is pretty good.

Will I buy this again?: NO!! Why to buy cheapo ones when we have Maybelline lipsticks which are affordable and worth every penny!
