Maybelline water shine liquid diamonds ~ Coral sunset and Precious Lilac ~ Photos, Review and Swatches

My preferences keeps on changing when it comes to buying makeup, at times I am all for matte finish and then all of sudden the shimmery dewy phase captures me like anything. This is the reason why my ma never ever buys  any makeup  for me even if I keep on pestering her to do so, moreover when I know she is visiting a nice store. :(
This is also the major reason why I have stopped buying any high end makeup stuff because with time I will abandon them , I know its sheer stupidity but I can't help it.
So, sometime back I had this shimmery/glowy/dewy phase going on and that is the reason behind buying these glosses. The word "Liquid Diamonds" captured my heart and I fell for it :D ye ye ye

My take with these babies :)

Ok, I loved them in my shimmery phase, The color is not very intense, it is quite sheer and not so buildable. Consistency is ok, not super thick nor slippery. color payoff is fine,,average actually. Will not show up on pigemented lips, looks nice when applied over a lipstick. Perfect for college going girlies as it gives the apt amount of shimmer n color that they want and can apply in college easily (subjective to variations :p )
The applicator is fine too.
It moisturises my lips very well, I love using them with a smoked black/purple shimmery eyes.

I did not like the fragrance, its yuk, if you are familiar with Digene or gelucil and hate their fragrance then kindly stay away from these glosses, the smell + taste wont fade away for 15 min easily.
There is no description of its ingredients on the tube. 

Recommendation : please measure the likes and dislikes and then think of giving these a try.

Thanks

  1. Hi Namita..These lipglosses are quite average. I use them for layering over my lippies

  2. I had the choc-choc and it was perhaps the first gloss ever that I used up in almost 6 months. I love the texture. The pigmentation of these glosses i think are not the same. While swatching at the store, the chocchoc I found was nicely pigmented, while the pinks and berries were not.
    precisely, that was the reason why I picked up that one.
    The shades here hook amazing. Worn over pinkish lipliners, would give an amazing effect.
    The pics are soo lovely!! I kept staring at them :)

    yep I second your opinion here Niv ,, even I had the choc one and it looked nice even if applied alone. These two are quite sheer and I use them over a very light pink shade as it gives the apt amount of sheen and the the hint of coral/lilac on it.
    you loved the pics,, thanks hun :)
