MAYBELLINE COLORSHOW LIPSTICK IN RED MY LIPS REVIEW

        Hi every one today i am going to share my view on maybelline's new color show lipstick in the shade red my lips number 202.. earlier i tried their color show nail polishes and i fell in love with them.. so when i saw this lipstick from the same range i decided to buy at least on of them.. i wanted a bright bold red lipstick so i asked the SA to show me reds in this range.. she showed me like three to four reds.. when she swatched this red on my hand i really liked it so i tried it on my lips.. it was absolutely gorgeous.. finally i decided to take this home..

PRICE : INR 299 for 3.9 gm
SHELF LIFE : 36 mnths from date of mfg.

maybelline has this habit of introducing their products at a lesser rate and hike the price within three to four months ;)

PACKAGING :
                        It comes in a black color tube with a red belt in the centre.. each color had different color belt in the middle.. the packaging is just an old school packaging nothing interesting ..  the plastic cover had the name color show.. but you have to remove the cover to open the tube.. when you remove the cover it becomes plain black tube..

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE LIPSTICK

                ok here is my heart breaking story with this lipstick.. i was soooo excited about this lipstick since i loved their nail polish from this range... when i opened the cap, there was no lipstick in the tube.. the tube was empty i was shocked to see that and then i noticed the lipstick got stuck to the cap... it was so creamy.. so when i touched it , it got transfered  to my fingers.. i could not pull it from the cap.. so i kept it in the freezer for about five minutes and then with the help of a long needle and a lip brush i some how managed to take the lipstick from the cap and inserted it into the tube.. now the lipstick is in right position but its shape is completely gone.. take a look at this .. ;(

 this is my lip brush that i used to transfer my lipstick..

yeah i know it is so messy.. i lost the bill that i got for purchasing this one or else i would have gone to the shop and exchanged it.. i basically love maybelline.. it is my all time fav brand.. but this time i got frustrated :(....

Ok, now lets leave this part.. the lipstick is so creamy and moisturizing..you dont need to apply any lip balm.. It smells like bubble gum.. if you had tried nivea's lip balm in pearly shine, this one smells exactly like that nivea one.. They have good range of colors.. you have lots of colors to choose from. It is so pigmented. single swipe is enough to get that right amount of color. it  does not have any shimmer and it is not matte either. it gives that nice shine to your lips.. It does not bleed or settle into the fine lines..

 The color is so good. it makes my teeth look white.. this one is the exact red color that i was searching for. I am happy that i got my desired color. It stays on for about four to five hours on me. after which it fades away evenly leaving some red tint to my lips.. it gets transfered to the cup..

here is the swatch without flash. 

This is how it looks on me.. i dint apply any lip gloss on top.. its just the lipstick.

if it is not for the bad experience that i had while opening the lipstick i would have really loved it. other than that part the lipstick is actually great. i will definitely repurchase this lipstick but i hope that i dont get these kind of experience next time.                                                                             

I am giving 4/5 for this lipstick..
