Street Wear Color Rich Ultramoist Lipstick in Spell Bound (27) and Ruby Riddle (9) Review, Swatches, Photos

Street Wear recently revamped its collection and made it a lot more attractive!! Even then, I wasn’t tempted to purchase anything from them, because I felt that at the prices they are sold at, the quality would definitely leave something to be desired. However, when I casually strolled towards the Revlon counter to check out the new collection, I couldn’t resist taking a peak at the new Street Wear collection. One thing lead to another and soon I was swatching one lipstick after another, searching for some shade that I didn’t already have and finally I brought two shades. You should have seen my hand!! I had a hard time getting the colors off, the SAs don’t even have a good makeup remover. The lipstick range is called ‘Color Rich Ultramoist Lipstick’.If you’re wondering where to find this collection, I found one Street Wear counter at Lifestyle, it was a part of the Revlon counter.  The reason why I picked up these colors, inspite of my apprehensions, is that I was looking for two colors- a peach for my skintone and an everyday pink, and after swatching two shades, I felt that I’d hit jackpot, cause I certainly couldn’t find these colors in any other drugstore brand!

Coz plain ol' lipstick ain't good enough? Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Polish in Glam 13 - Review, Swatches, Price

Maybelline lip polishes are Maybelline’s offering to the lipgloss-lipstick hybrids which are trending this year. I thought of picking up at least one of these since they are offered in sooo many colors and fit my budget nicely! I love the L’Oreal Shine Caresse Lip Colors and I was curious to know how Maybelline’s lip polish would compete against it since they both are sold at a mere Rs.50 difference, with the Lip Polish being the cheaper option. There are two ranges, POP (bright colors) and GLAM(comparatively subtle shades).And these are known as Color Elixirs in US. I’ll be reviewing the shade Glam 13 and telling you if this offering is indeed glam or not!

What Maybelline Says about Color Sensational Lip Polish(taken from brand website):

For glossy, plump lips, choose Maybelline’s Lip Polish by Color Sensational.

Featuring glossy, vivid colors that also have a moisturizing effect, this lip polish makes your lips look fuller and more luscious. Dress your lips in a shade you love and watch heads turn!

A trio of concentrates delivers the color of a lipstick, the cushiony care of a balm, and the glass shine of a gloss

Our exclusive smoothing angora brush delivers a polished , even application and smoothing sensation to lips

Here’s why you’ll love it:

My take on Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Polish in Glam 13:

PACKAGING ~ The Lip Polish comes in a tube which is quite small, and is really cute. The color looks like a lipstick in the tube, how unique! The applicator is leaf shaped, and is really easy to use and reaches every centimetre of my lips. I love that it’s the same color as the shade, attention to details girls!
