Names of the ‘Secret 16’ revealed

Some time back I had done a post on my lipstick collection. I showcased swatches of 16 different lip colors but did not reveal the names of the lipstick brands or the shades.

And then my friend Apoorva said she really wanted to know which shades they were as she really wanted to get hold of a few of them. So this post is for you dear (and all my other friends who were waiting for me to reveal the names!)

In the photo below from right to left are

1. Revlon Moisturising Sparkles – 55 Cocoa Sparkles
2. Street Wear Satin Smooth – 43 Soft Pink
3. Coloressence – 7 Passionate Pink (full review HERE)
4. Cover Girl – 315 Precious (check out the full review HERE)
5. L’Oreal Endless Kissable – 730 (full review HERE)

Isa Dora Lip Treat Flavoured Lipstick Review

A lot of people generally prefer cosmetics that are odorless and flavorless. But me, I love floral fragrances and flavoured lippies.
Today I am reviewing a lipstick by Isa Dora (a Swedish brand) called Lip Treat Flavoured Lipstick. I got this online from strawberrynet.com - a good online website that I will review sometime later.
The lipstick comes in a rust packaging - its a shimmery rust not captured well in the photos.

The shade is called Melon Sorbet (07) - its a shimmery rust shade just like the cover - all lip treats from the brand are packaged in a container that is exactly the same color as the shade of lipstick itself. That is good as it helps identify the shade when you are searching for the lipstick in a box full of different shades :)
The only drawback is that quality of the casing is not good - its a very regular plastic.

 The texture is creamy but not too moisturizing. But if you don't suffer from dry lips it should be good enough. The lipstick staying power is good - even after a meal it stays lightly on - for a person like me that is a big thing because for me most of my lipsticks are gone after my first sip of water!

And now for the flavour and fragrance - its yummy!!! Yes the fruity fragrance and flavour are really nice - not really melony - but a mixed fruity fragrance. I can't stop myself from licking it :P

Below are swatches of the lipstick without flash and the second one with flash

I like the fact that the lipstick has light shimmers - it makes the lips look bright but not over the top. I wear it to work with a single swipe and for an evening out two swipes are good enough.
