YSL Rouge Volupte #20 Spicy Pink or Rose Epice

Greetings to everybody! Hope you are doing good in all aspects of your life! Trying to resume to regular blogging after a long hiatus! Hope to entertain my friends the way I did earlier!

Just wanted to share my perspective on YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15! I know you all are capable of facing the fact one more time though you've come across YSL Rouge Volupte a zillion times so far! Just an attempt to create awareness on #20 Spicy Pink especially if you fancy pink shades! I wanted a review on this shade prior to investment, but could not find one! Once I bought it, I thought of a beneficiary review so you dont regret later! I call this an investment as I am not used to buy a lipstick for some 1700 INR! I bought mine at Dubai Airport for 17 pounds, but actually retails for 20 pounds! Wait for the sale period for the best price!

Outer case of package!

Claims - Delight your senses with Rouge Volupte, the first lipstick to instantly soften the lips, providing a unique sensation of pleasure plus exceptional radiant color! The nutri-protective film enables Rouge Volupte to act as a second skin, with a silky sensation that moisturises, nourishes and repairs the lips! With a unique colorshine complex, lips are visibly smoothed, plumped and radiant with luminous satin colors!

Revealing the breath-taking beauty!

How can one resist drop-dead packaging and gorgeous lip colors? As it is, gold keeps attracting women like nobody's business! If a golden metallic case is complemented by a lipstick and a mirror, should I tell what happens? Who wouldnt fall for it? What a strategy, YSL!!!

Clever mirror on the lid!

Shade #20 Spicy Pink or Rose Epice is cinnamon pink according to the website! I would say its more a muted-mauvey-rosey-pink! The color in the tube is less intense compared to that on lips! It becomes more rich and intense on lips, rather! Glides smooth and even; envelops your lips like a layer of fluid! Yes, it is extremely creamy and smooth! Pigmentation depends on the shade you choose, but I assure every shade has its own beauty which cannot be duplicated! Formulation of Rouge Volupte is lustrous, opaque and richly pigmented! For me, it obviously means full coverage!

Looks like peach, but its the same muted pink!

As for the long-lasting effect, I seriously dont bother about such petty issues! I dont go on a hunger strike just to retain my lip color! No harm in reapplication, especially with the provided package! Otherwise, it stays on for a reasonable amount of time! Staying power depends on the individual, I believe! If you find the color is too pigmented, blot for a muted look! Stain remains on your lips, which is more beautiful! Experience, stain doesnt stay longer compared to the lipstick as such! Surely a fragrant product, but definitely not floral like I expected! Falls under melon-scented category, which is quite a relief compared to the wax-scented others!

#20 Spicy Pink in daylight! Best reference!

As for the plumped lip effect, I am never a big fan of bee-stung lips! Hence I dont buy a lip product seeking the same effect! I believe every lip product enhances the beauty of your lips in some way or the other! Compare your lips with and without lipstick! You can definitely notice the difference, no matter minor or major! Your lips gain a particular shape when you apply lipstick or even a lip balm as a matter of fact! The secret to a soft pout is Olive oil/Almond oil and sugar scrub! I need not tell you how beautiful your lips look once they are smooth! Lip color just adds to the beauty of your lips! The world's most expensive lipstick also doesnt help in improving the texture of your lips unless you maintain your pout well!

Intricate ring with YSL initials @ center!

For the curious beauties, the longevity of YSL RV is 12 months! Have you tried YSL RV? If yes, what shades so far? What's your take? If no, what shade do you feel like trying? Please do share your insight on YSL RV! My take, I want YSL RV in every shade possible as it is definitely owner's pride! Sincere advice, do not go by the swatches online!

Package also comes with claim!

P.S - Do I recommend Rouge Volupte? I know how it feels when somebody reviews revolutionary products and recommend you not to buy for silly reasons! You definitely feel like buying at least to satisfy your ego coz that's what I tend to do at times! There are just a couple of shades that suit dark skin tones, so make sure you read enough reviews or at least one good review prior to investment! If you wanna buy it for reasons you cant disclose, go for it without giving a second thought! If you are on a budget, definitely dont turn your head towards the YSL counter! I warned you, already! Kindly do let me know if my review helped one of you, at least!

Body Shop Colourglide Lip Color #10 Soft Heather

Claims - A collection of lip colors that color, moisturise and smooth the appearance of the lips for a fabulous pout! The butter-like texture glides on effortlessly! It contains a high percentage of color pigments to provide intense coverage in one luscious sweep that lasts for up to four hours! Depending on the color! It leaves the lips feeling soft and smooth! Drench your lips in color! Dermatologically tested!

Looks more plumey!

High percentage of color pigments provide intense coverage in one sweep that lasts for up to 4 hours! Marula oil, natural sesame seed oil and beeswax leave lips feeling soft and supple! Light floral Tahitian gardenia fragrance and delicate vanilla flavor!

Mauvey undertones!

Bullet-like silver packaging! 4g or 0.14 oz retails for 8 pounds! Life expectancy of 36 months! Lipstick has that classic lipstick-scent with vanilla! Some shades of light, it looks like plum! In reality, its more milky pink! Swatches dont lie, after all!

Pigmentation? I dont expect pigmentation from milky pink lipstick! Not wise! Staying power is decent! Does it stay for 4 hours as per the claim? Might be if you are on a hunger strike! I never bother about the staying power, to be honest!

Key ingredients are Marula oil, Sesame oil, Beeswax from an organic source, Jojoba, Rosehip seed, lanolin oil, a blend of Tahitian gardenia and vanilla fruit extracts and Vitamin E! Marula oil is effective moisturiser that helps condition the skin over time! Also provides essential fatty acids that help restore the skin's moisture barrier, thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness!

Body Shop revamped their lipsticks, formula wise! Their latest launch has more moisturizing, creamy, heavily pigmented shades that are hard to resist! Range from Nudes to Neutrals to Cools! There is one for you too!

L'Oreal Color Riche Star Secret Aishwarya Beige #708

The most deceptive shade ever! On swatch, it was truly flattering! On lips, it turned out to be totally different! I expected this to works wonders, but disappointment! May be, I shouldnt start a review like this!

L'Oreal commercial, the color was completely different! I feel so, at least! I thought this must be more on the pigmented end! It turned out to be the muted muse! My justification, it keeps changing according to the tone! As always, expectations let you down!

I bought this in "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" offer! I was actually planning to buy this lipstick alone, but could not resist the lip glosses! Finally, ended up buying 2 and got 1 for free! The only word I like in English so far - "FREE!" It lifts up my spirits like nobody's business!

The packaging is high-end! Classic black and gold, signature engraved! I have never been a die-hard fan of black and gold, but this caught my attention! On the lid, you find the number of the lipstick, which obviously says 708! Bottom, you find sticker detailing with shade number and name on it! I find the sticker color very similar to the lipstick color! Including the sparkles! YES! Easy peasy! You might find it different, but I find the color on sticker 100% true to the color in the tube! At least, this shade!

There is a gold band in the middle of the tube, which says L'Oreal Paris! You remember? Older version of Lakme lipsticks used to look similar in packaging! Only difference, brown and gold! I still have one from that collection, just for the packaging! Click-type whateva! Once you open the lid, you find flashy gold tube calling for attention! Packaging is definitely chic for a drugstore lipstick!

The formula is really smooth, creamy and glossy! Moisturizing! Glides effortless! I think its rather wise not to expect the same from other shades in this range! I never understood this color, to be honest! It appears different in day light! Different at night time! Sometimes, I think this works for me! The next minute, I feel its not for me!

#708 looks nude!

One thing I can assure! This shade is perfect for that polished look! Great for office! It has flecks of gold, barely seen! Very negligible! I really doubt if they show up at all! I find this shade nude - brown - mauve - rose - pink! Undertones? I no good in that! You better decide!

Staying power? This shade, in particular, doesnt stay long! May be, just a couple of hours! Neither food-proof nor water-proof! Sometimes, I use Maybelline Watershine lip gloss #521 Naked Brown on top of it to get that oomph! Everytime I use this, I wanted to decipher the right color! But, in vain! May be, you can try all those "long-lasting lipstick tricks" to make the best!

I want this on my lips!

OMG! I really can't stand the fragrance of this! Not that it stinks! Something waxy! Something nauseating! Something synthetic! Goes all the way back into your throat! You know what I am talking about? You will know if you did try this earlier! The smell gives me jitters! Thats the only reason I dont reach for it! I wish this color worked for me! I dont regret buying this, but!

#708 looks pink!

Repurchase? Yay for the color, but Nay for the fragrance! Finally, thats a big "NO"! I believe, L'Oreal came up with another shade almost similar to #708, marketed as Beige! You can find it in beige-gold packaging!

Where did this color come from?

P.S - This review was requested by Sarah from Glossicious! Sarah, hope it was some help! I dedicate this to you and your sister! Sorry for the delay, by the way!

Barry M Touch Of Magic

Please dont run away! Its not an eco-friendly lipstick, by the way! What comes to your mind the minute you see this? Good old school days?

I was quite a nerd when I first laid my eyes on a green lipstick and I was like "Ma, thats too much!" The SA was like "Go on! Try it!" I swatched! Guess what? Pretty pink! My mother was so kind as always and bought me one! Not too dramatic, so that was okay for a school-going kid! Dates back to my school days, 8th grade! Barry M made me nostalgic for a while!

Claims - Waterproof formula with Aloe Vera! It stays on for up to 8 hours! Depending on the alkali level of your lips, determines just how pale or rich the colour will go! Lets pray for the rich colors, girls!

Can you see the pink tip?

Barry M Lip Paint "Touch of Magic" was yesterday's impulse purchase! This was in my lemming list since ages! What do you expect from a green lipstick?

On application, it glides very smooth! You dont see the color, then! All you can see, a transparent layer on your lips! Just like a clear lip balm! Couple of seconds later, the true color is revealed! Wanna have a look at the transformation?

I am really not sure how this works, but was always mesmerized by the the transformation! Ever since I was a kid, I did fancy magic! Abraca dabra! Green goes pink!

Apt title for the lipstick, "Touch of Magic!" As mentioned earlier, it glides on soft! Appears to be clear! Couple of seconds, it goes pink! Too bright for my liking! Pink is not the right word! Bright fuschia? You better decide!

Its definitely not the same on the lips! Gets damn bright! I had to work hard on my hands for the true color! May be my hands are not alkaline whateva compared to lips! God! I forgot that lipsticks are meant for lips, not hands!

After a while, the soft layer evaporates! You get the picture? Lipstick stays on like a stain! Perfect stain! The soft layer kinda gets hardened! Not rock hard, of course! Transforms into pink stain! Doesnt get powdery like Bourjois tinted lip balm! Very pigmented! Stays long! Definitely something to try for Valentine's Day!

Waterproof? YES! Food proof? YES! Unless you want to get rid of it! Stays on till you wipe it off! I really appreciate Barry M for the wonderful formulation! I am not sure how other Barry M lipsticks feel! This one, in particular, feels invisible on lips! I mean, as in weight! When I say that, I mean it! Literally! Bare lip feel! Once the pink stain is on, you can add your favorite lip product for that oomph!

I love the matte black packaging! Ultra-chic! Cute! Comparable to NARS! This lipstick smells like wax, but not so overwhelming! This retails for 4.25 pounds! Right now, Barry M has an offer! Buy one lippie for 4.25 pounds or two for 7 pounds!

Ingredients - Ricinus Communis, Paraffinum Liquidum, Octyldodecanol, Cera Alba, Ozokerite, Carnauba, Cetyl Alcohol, Synthetic­ Wax, Isopropyl Lanolate, Propylene Glycol, Talc, BHA, Citric Acid and Propyl Gallate

P.S - When I was a kid, I used to mess up with some kinda berry, I really dont remember, to get the stain! I used to stain my hands and lips! Real fun! Do you have any memories? How I wish those days come back! Sigh!!!

Body Shop Colourglide Lip Color #11 Plum

How can I express my love towards Body Shop? By reviewing their products, obviously! Today, we have a lipstick from Body Shop Colourglide range, which is their regular line! Definitely, not a limited edition!

Claims - A collection of lip colors that color, moisturise and smooth the appearance of the lips for a fabulous pout! The butter-like texture glides on effortlessly! It contains a high percentage of color pigments to provide intense coverage in one luscious sweep that lasts for up to four hours! Of course, depending on the color! It leaves the lips feeling soft and smooth! Dermatologically tested!

As mentioned earlier, we have Colourglide Lip Color in #11 Plum, which is obviously my favorite shade! You know! 75% of my collection is plums! Sometimes, I dont even bother to look at the other shades! Imagine my love for the shade! No, I dont like the fruit! Its just the color I admire! Its high time to branch out, I believe!

Look at the packaging! Silver or steel, whateva! Not the typical blacks or golds! The tube is smaller, comparitively! Trying to compare Body Shop, MAC and Bourjois! Just because the shades are plums! The MAC Plumful is sheer and pigmented in its own way! Bourjois tinted lip balm is more on the bold n brighter edge! Supa-dupa pigmented! Body Shop lipstick is a cool tone! Rich pigmentation! MAC lipstick smells like edible vanilla! Bourjois lip balm smells like vanilla with a metallic flavor somewhere! Blame the packaging! Dont worry! It smells like vanilla on your lips! Body Shop lipstick smells like vanilla! Like granny's lipstick! My granny never used one, but! Very old, but nostalgic! Thats why I bought VLCC lip shield in Strawberry! I like the scent of Body Shop lipstick, as well!

The lipstick bullet is huge compared to the MAC one, in reality! I wonder if MAC is on a diet! One gram makes all the difference! Colourglide #11, in particular, is moisturizing! Glides soft! Like butter? Yes, but not as soft as the Moroccan Rose lipsticks! I can say, soft like MAC! But, a little different! MAC Plumful being lustre, glides smooth! Hope it makes some sense!

From top: MAC Plumful, Bourjois tinted lip balm #1 Purple Plum, Body Shop Colourglide #11 Plum

Colourglide #11 Plum is kinda matte! Anyway, I use a lip balm! So, no big deal! I reiterate, exfoliate your lips to make the best! Staying power is very decent! Above average! Stays for 4 hours as per the claim? Might be possible, if you are on a hunger strike! I dont bother about the staying power, anyway! I like the pigmentation of this color, particularly! It has mauve rose undertones! I so love this color, I have a backup of this, as well!

Lemme tell you one more thing I did observe! This shade being "kind of" matte, I applied 2-3 coats! After a while, lip balm evaporated leaving the pigmentation behind! It was almost like a tint! Heres the fun part! You can apply your favorite gloss over or just hydrate your lips with a balm!

Body Shop Colourglide range has tonnes of shades! According to the site, there are 37 ravishing shades! So, there is one for you too! Do not go by the swatches online! They are slightly different! Most of the shades are very pigmented!

Key ingredients are Marula oil, Sesame oil, Beeswax from an organic source, Jojoba, Rosehip seed, lanolin oil, a blend of Tahitian gardenia and vanilla fruit extracts and Vitamin E! Marula oil is a very ver effective moisturiser that helps condition the skin over time! Also provides essential fatty acids that help restore the skin's moisture barrier, thus helping to restore moisture, smoothness and suppleness!

Stats - MAC and Bourjois are 3g! Body Shop lipstick is 4g or 0.14 oz! Retails for 8 pounds, but for 3 pounds in sale! Most of the Body Shop products, especially their lippies have a life expectancy of 36 months!

Tanvi! I highly recommend buying Body Shop lipsticks in sale! Most of the Body Shop stuff, in fact! Not that their quality is compromising! You might not find all the shades in sale, but its worth waiting! Unless you wanna explore all the shades, wait for the sale! Most of their lines are stocked up for the sale, so you dont end up spending full price! I know its hard to wait! Especially when other bloggers review! One more thing! Dont take my words for granted coz you might not find some of the best sellers during the sale!

Try Nature's Minerals, their mineral makeup range! Foundation, cheek and eye colors! Mineral makeup foundation has SPF 25! If you have access to their limited edition stuff, try their sparkly liquid eyeliners in green, silver, gold and bronze! I know you love eyeliners! Without fail, get hold of their baked stuff! LOL! I mean, their limited edition baked blushes and eye shadows! I know there is a lot to try, but its up to you to choose! Will update, in case I find anything else!

P.S: TRY MERRY CRANBERRY LIP BALM, MOROCCAN ROSE BODY BUTTER AND JAPANESE CHERRY BLOSSOM BODY BUTTER, WITHOUT FAIL! Consider yourself lucky to get hold of Merry Cranberry coz its sold out completely within 2 weeks after launch! Very bad!

Clinique Almost Lipstick Black Honey

Whoa! Looks like Bobbi Brown's Cabana Corals created a storm over here, especially the Limited Edition palette! Today, our product of review is Black Honey! Apparently, Clinique's most sought-after lip product! How come I heard there are 3 more shades in Almost Lipstick range, but I always find Black Honey? Did you?

Claims - Glossy, sheer, non-staining lip colour! Soothing to the lips! Gives moist look and feel, shiny finish! Wear alone or over Lip-Shaping Pencil or lipstick!

My cousin was going gaga over this! I was like "I have to have this in my collection!" Now, I learnt my lesson! Wait for long unless its a limited edition product! Check out the reviews, honest ones of course! Get to see the swatches, especially! Dont let the hype get in!

Silver packaging! Ultra-chic! Slim and sleek! It says "C" on the lid! Comparitively, you get more product! The bullet is almost 2 inches, just quarter less! I was really terrified by the color when I first saw! Hasty! I came to know the true color only on swatch, then!

Preferably, I use this when my lips look their best! One coat of Black Honey makes up the whole look! I reiterate! Exfoliate your lips if you want to make the best use of any lip product! What happens if you dont? I tried Black Honey without any lip balm assuming it would be foolish using a balm under a balm! Expensive, of course! It was sheer on the soft parts and pigmented on the chapped parts! You know what I mean? It was like light and dark on my lips! The product stuck where the lips chapped! I looked like a total nerd, no doubt!

Some find it plum! Some find it berry! I find it berry, rather! If your skin tone is dark like mine, one coat is more than enough! Suits you perfect! The color intensifies, which means its buildable! The more number of coats, the more intense pigmentation!

I dont understand the criteria to categorize lip products, but Black Honey is a misnomer! Considering the title, it definitely has to be! What is Black Honey to you? Lipstick? Gloss? Tint? Balm? I say, its a sheer tinted lip balm from Clinique! You pay for the brand! I am not judgemental, just trying to be honest! Purely, a personal opinion!

Here comes the shocker! Staying power! Be prepared to reapply every half an hour! It doesnt stay long! I wish they change the formula whatever to improve the staying power! You wont believe! I have this product since a year, but its hardly reached for! Of course, for two reasons! First, the staying power irritates me! Second, I am trying to be more conservative! Saving this for the days where I can have access to just one lip product! Oh yeah! This will be my lipstick, lip gloss, lip tint, lip balm etc

My review must be really confusing! One minute, I was like not so over this! The next, I was like "head over heels!" Even now, I have a mixed opinion about this! I say "Yes" and "No!" I would have recommended this in a jiffy, if not for the price! I still dont understand the hype! Considering the price and staying power, I think twice! For me, Black Honey is an ego-satisfier! How does it feel to own a cult favorite in your stash? It feels the same way!

Stats - 1.9 g retails for 14.50 pounds, but I am sure I got mine for 12 pounds last year! Blame the VAT!

Body Shop Moroccan Rose Flower Lipsticks

The Body Shop launched their limited edition Moroccan Rose range for Spring 2009 that includes makeup, bath and body products! Somewhere around Valentine's Day, I believe! The makeup includes eye colors, 2 powder blushes, 3 lipsticks and a radiance stick! Delicate, pastel, Rose-inspired and infused with a mild rose fragrance! Bath and body collection includes Moroccan Rose body milk, shower gel, body butter, Eau de Toilette, Reed diffuser, body mist and bath & massage oil!

I am a firm believer of "flowers look pretty in the garden"! I find flowers associated with strong fragrance like rose and jasmine very nauseating! I cant stand the fragrance for more than half an hour! For South-Indians, flowers are ineveitable! However, I always make sure I dont go near roses and jasmines except weddings! Why did I tell you all this crap? I never knew I would like makeup associated with floral fragrance! Especially, ROSES!

On that note, I proudly present to you the Moroccan Rose lipsticks in #1 Soft Pink, #2 True Pink and #3 Deep Pink! I dont say "I am head over heels", but I like the Moroccan Rose range! Mildly infused with rose scent, just like rose water!

Let's tweet about the packaging for a while! If not for the transparent lid, this is how they look like! Metallic pink embosed with white roses! Uber flirty! The shades as discussed earlier, #1 Soft Pink, #2 True Pink, #3 Deep Pink! They are like great, greater, greatest! I dont know how to describe these shades exactly, but lets have a look!

The lipsticks have the softest formulation I ever came across! Just like melting butter! They glide easily on the lips without any efforts! I prefer #1 Soft Pink and #2 True Pink for any given time of the day and #3 for night times, though the chances of me using #3 are very rare!

Best - If you want a wash of pink with a long-lasting and conditioning lip color!

Suitable - All skin tones, which I doubt!

They are damn emollient, soothing and moisturizing when applied! Bees wax, well-known for its moisturizing properties, is a natural emulsifier and thickener and has been used in cosmetics for the past 2000 years! It is used in Body Shop products to help form a protective layer on the skin, which reduces moisture loss! The organic bees wax and marula oil helps repair the skin's moisture barrier!

I find myself reaching more for #2 True Pink, a go-to lipstick! The colors are pretty sheer! Staying power is above average! The shimmer felt chunky once, but it was not the same the next time! Strange!

#1 Soft Pink, #2 True Pink, #3 Deep Pink

Stats - 3.5 g - 0.1 oz originally retails for 8 pounds, though not sure of the exact price! I got these for a pound each, which is unbelievable! I have a backup of #2 True Pink!

Try # 1 Soft Pink with a "barely there" cheek and cool pastel-toned smudged eyes! #2 True Pink is ideal for all occasions either alone or over a lip stain for a thoroughly modern lip look! # 3 Deep Pink is a rich and fruity sheer wash of color that adds instant glamour for women who dare!

Maybelline Moisture Extreme #39 Natural Rosewood/ Bois De Rose Naturel

Finally, the suspense unfolds! I was holding on for quite a while to open the packaging! This is some strange color! For some reason, I believe the formulation and shades of the lipsticks here are totally different compared to what we get in India! You know what I mean! Most of the shades do not suit Indian tones. I am talking about the dark to wheatish tones, by the way! They might look familiar in the packaging, but swatch it! SHOCKER!!! You might not like it!

Today, I present you Maybelline Moisture Extreme deeply moisturizing lip color in #39 Natural Rosewood/ Bois De Rose Naturel.

Claims: Enriched with the deeply moisturizing power of a lip balm, Moisture Extreme leaves lips blissfully smooth and soft. Lips so deeply moisturized; color that comes alive, reds pop, pinks blossom, plums go richer. Anti-feathering. With an SPF 15, Moisture Extreme helps protect against the damaging effects of UV rays.

I am really sorry if I have confused you all! I finally found out this shade in the Moisture Extreme Naked Beige Collection, which is the beige packaging. The formula is smoooooth and soft; it glides on like butter!!!

Naked Beige Claims: No pearls. No glitters. No shimmers. You cant go wrong because nude lips suit every outfit. The formula is enriched with jojoba oil & shea butter. This one has Moisture Lock Gel system. It has non-feathering technology. This color in particular suits medium skin tones. Staying power is above average, not so sticky!

Strange thing I noticed about this shade in particular, it smells like Galia melon! I dont know if thats the same case with Naked Beige collection, but this one smell real melon! Very fresh, fruity and summery! I am not quite sure if I like this color, so I might give it some time!

I find some yellow/gold flecks in this, may be I am too conscious! This is very unusual on the lips, but on swatch it looks familiar! Looks like it has some pinky mauve undertones, but I am really not able to decipher what is this in real! Trying to give u a better swatch, but in vain!

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Chocolate temptation

On my hunt, I found one color from Maybelline Moisture Extreme "Chocolate temptation" in #781.  When I swatched this at Sainsburys (UK departmental), I found this so glossy and nude. But, there was no offer at Sainsburys. So, I made my way to drug store which had 3 for 2 offer, but I did not like the color. I tried the same color and somehow I found it so dry. Good grace! I didnt end up buying that.

I believe Moisture Extreme ramge has SPF in it. Wat more can you ask for? This is how it looks like, but I am not sure if I try to convince myself. I am not a brown fan when it comes to lippies. May be, I should give it another try...I had too much hopes on this. So, I got disappointed...

Elle 18 Dewlipz

This lipstick makes me nostalgic...way back early 2000! I have many memories associated with this lipstick particularly the lingering fragrance which I want to describe, but cannot.

I am not sure if Elle 18 still exists, but if it does, I am going to buy as many as possible from this range. I had 3 lipsticks from this range one being a brown shimmer (not sure of shade) and the remaining 2 in the same shade #014 Cocoa Creme. The only colour cosmetic in my collection with a back up...but my friend snatched that away! Somebody tell me Elle 18 still exists!!! I would love to hear that! Wait a minute...I have a source who could do that for me and I can count on her...

ELLE 18 launched Dewlipz, a dual-layer lipstick with an outer layer of the colour and an inner layer of jojoba oil and vitamin E to moisten and nourish the lips. They even have a fragrance. The new range consists of 24 shades including Cherry Ice, Mousse Melt, Mulberry Splash, Strawberry Falls, Wildberry Wet etc. They are priced at Rs 49...
