The pencil has a black body and a black plastic cap. Its a chubby pencil which comes with a sharpener so that you don't need to purchase one separately - thank God for that! 

It comes packed in a silver colored box which has details about the product as well as the ingredient list. The packaging states that it is an extremely soft and creamy product with good color pay-off.

I bought this long back and this was an instinctive purchase because I just loved the color when the SA swatched it on my hand. I have the color Bare Dare Pink number 003. Its a soft neutral pink with brown undertones - more like an MLBB shade.

ColorBar Pro Nail Lacquer - Peach Rose 047 Review And Swatches

Guest Post By Komal

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a lovely coral pink shade from ColorBar. The shade is called Peach Rose - 047.

ColorBar Pro Nail Lacquer - Peach Rose 047 Review And Swatches

Peach Rose ColorBar nail paint is a lovely shade for summers. It can brighten up your mood and looks lovely specially if you have long nails (short nail girls don't worry, it would look equally good on your nails too!) The shade is great for college or work, for a lunch out with friends or for wearing just like that!

The Nail Trend That Painted The World RED!

Nail paints are available in so many varied hues, from soft nudes, bright neon to deep blues and purples. But the one color that stole the show this year in 2012 is the hot RED!

From the girl next door, the lady across the seat on the metro to our very dear celebrities, everyone and anyone who likes to paint their nails has sported the color Red this year. And the Red is abundant in different shade variations, soft reds, bright reds, coral reds or deep dark reds bordering on the maroon side. Finishes also vary from matte, glossy to glittery!

Everyone has their choice and can sport this color in one variation or the other.

Fashionistas had predicted Red to be the color of Spring 2012 but this trend has continued through summer and is likely to go well into the winters making our dull lives bright and colorful.
A lot of fashion shows saw shades of red being sported by models.

Jason Wu Spring Summer 2012 - bright red

Christian Dior - Cherry Red Nails

Red has also been popular in nail art such as the fashionable French red tips as sported by Donna Karan.

And the winner is????

My Lips But Better–Velvet Matte Bare from Colorbar - Review

I had been on the lookout for a lipstick that I could wear daily to office without having to worry what color clothes I was wearing and without having to worry about the color looking too loud on my face.

I did find the Maybelline Lip Ice to be a close fit but the problem was that the lipstick would not last on my lips for more than an hour. And a single cup of coffee was enough to lose the color from the lips.

I read reviews about several neutral shades and finally decided to order the Colorbar Velvet Matte lipstick in Bare. I ordered this from StyleCraze and got a nice discount on it as well (cheapest price online!)

It turned out to by my MLBB shade – yes My Lips But Better.

The lipstick comes in a plastic casing – silver body with a transparent cap. Nothing spectacular here.

The shade Bare is a very nice neutral with hints of pink.

The best part about this lipstick is that it lasts for about 3 hours with my coffee break in between. When it fades it leaves behind a light tint of color. The texture is smooth (not as smooth as the Maybelline but that is understandable as this one is long lasting). There is no fragrance and the finish on your lips is soft creamy matte.

Here is a picutre of a single swipe swatch (look how lovely the color is)
