New Makeup & Beauty Launches In India

New Beauty & Makeup Products of January 2016!

Maybelline Fit Me Range India: Review, Swatches & Price

Maybelline Fit Me Range

Though this was technically launched at the end of December 2015 but it reached most stores in January. The Maybelline Fit Me range includes Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundations (Price: Rs 525), Fit Me Concealers (Rs 500), Fit Me Blushes (Price: Rs 400) & Fit Me Powders (Price: Rs 475). You can click on any of the product names for the detailed reviews or swatches. The range has been a hit and miss mainly due to the lack of warmer shades in the range.

Colorbar All Day Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick

Colorbar All Day Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick: Price- Rs 850 for 1.4gms

Launched in 7 shades, all the colors are shimmery or glittery. From pale champagne to intense blues and black this range contains some good basic colors. Though the price seems a bit high but the Colorbar eyeshadow sticks come in a retractable form, hence if the staying power is good it might just be worth it!

New Beauty Launches In India: Maybelline HyperMatte Liquid Liner

Maybelline Hyper Matte Liquid Liner: Price- Rs 325 for 3gms

This claims to be a matte, smudge, water and heat proof formula. I found it to be semi matte with an intense jet black finish. However, it isn’t smudge proof or waterproof but its a decent everyday liquid liner. Detailed review here.

New Lakme 9 To 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation: Price- Rs 575 for 29gms

Claims to be the perfect everyday base product for the working woman with its lightweight finish and matte finish. I recently checked this out at the Lakme counter but was left disappointed. Not only do the shades look very similar to each other but I find the coverage to be almost negligible.

New Maybelline Launches: Maybelline Lip Gradation

Maybelline Lip Gradation: Price- Rs 500

This latest launch by Maybelline India has the entire blogosphere buzzing. It helps create an ombre lip with the smudger attached to the lip pencil on the other end. While I found it a bit expensive for the quantity provided but it might be checking out because of the unique packaging and concept. Available in 8 shades, you can check the Maybelline Lip Gradation Swatches here.

New Revlon Photoready Prime + Anti Shine Balm

Revlon Photoready Prime + Anti Shine Balm: Price- Rs 1675

If you’re looking for a primer to keep your face matte all day long and help your base last longer then this might be the one for you. It has a very soft balm-y texture which blends easily and like the name suggests gives a matte finish. It also claims to minimize pores to a great extent.

New Maybelline Super Stay Gel Nail Color

Maybelline Super Stay Gel Nail Color: Price- Rs 325

So many brands have launched their version of a gel nail polish over the past few year but none have really gotten it right. Maybelline too joined the bandwagon this month with their new range of gel nail paints in 24 beautiful pastel shades which claims to stay put for 7 days. A bit expensive coming from Maybelline but if it stays put for a week I wouldn’t mind shelling out moolah for this.
