Covergirl Lip perfection lipstick in Spellbound Review + swatch

Heyy guys today I am going to review my first lipstick from Covergirl.

This one is a part of Covergirl LipPerfection lipstick and I am gonna review the shade #325 - Spellbound.

It really has left me spellbound ;)

The packaging is sophisticated and sturdy. These rectangular tubes come in semi reflective , semi matte packaging. 

The bottom of the tube shows the color so its very convenient to find the lipstick. Saves time you know.

Although I feel they should have mentioned the full name of this collection on the tube Covergirl lip perfection. Since I got it as a gift I had to search for the full name online.

Spellbound - 2 swipes

The pigmentation is excellent, lipstick goes super opaque in just one swipe. The staying power is remarkable  and even when it start fading which is after some 8-10 hours there is a stain left on lips.

Its a pain to remove this lipstick I need 3 sprays of my Lakme Absolute Bi phased makeup remover on my cotton pad to clean it completely. 

If you just want a tint of this then apply it using a lip brush or just dab directly from the tube with a light hand  on your lips.

It has a right level of softness and glides on smoothly. I would describe the finish as satin-y and it gives a nice sheen.

The only con I find is that the smell of the lipstick is synthetic but it fades away in just a few seconds. You may not like it if you have a very sensitive nose and you need some extra effort to remove it completely.

Availability in India is a problem.

My lip swatch

I first applied using a lip brush and built up the intensity gradually for a even and precise application. 

I dint use any lip liner underneath so that I can show how it looks on my bare lips.

Since its super pigmented I recommend you apply it with a lip brush first and then directly from the tube.

P.S : Its said to be a dupe for MAC Girl about town but since I have not used GAT I cant really say. Check out THIS link to see the swatches of MAC GAT & covergirl spellbound and decide by yourself ;)

MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL LIPSTICK HOOKED ON PINK 065 SWATCH & REVIEW

Heyy guyss today i'm gonna review a lipstick quite long existing in the market but still :P. When it comes to lip colours i usually love anything thats pink, coral, tangerinish/ orangy off lately and of course nudes are forever. This one is a true berry color. Not too much red, plumy or blue just a pefect berry shade is what i would say. For everyday wear i like keeping it soft and nautral like looking lips.

WHAT I LIKE:

• Its super pigmented and goes opaque in just one swipe. 

• Its non drying and moisturizes decently.

• I like the packaging. Its sturdy and easy to find the shade your looking for when in hurry  which can save your time.

• Staying power is pretty decent. it stays for about 4-5 hours on me and leaves a tint behind on fading.

• Very affordable and a great value for money.
• 
  
• Its smells good too something like a sweet coconut mmmmm.

WHAT I DONT LIKE:

• Not for people with dry lips. you may wanna moisturise your lips before using it.

The color dint picture quite well but in real its a really pretty ruby pink which according to me will look flattering on all indian skin tones :) see it goes opaque in just one swipe.

3 swipes


For college i just like a hint of color on my lips so that it does not look OTT (Over the top) and so i just pat/ dab it slightly on my lips and blend it out.

Price : 350 now. (It was just 299 previously. Damn!)

Take care 

Lots of love

Priyanka.
