Maybelline Tinted Taupe Review, Swatches and FOTD

Hello there! :D

Thank you so very much for the super sweet comments on my last post. I am doing great :D Working my ass off, watching out what I eat, and oh! Cooking! Yes 8) Last evening I prepared a simple curry and my family loved it :D Daddy says I am a better cook than mom *cough* You see, that is the insentive to make sure I'l cook again :P I am planning for a medium difficulty dish for tomorrow :D Haha! :D Life is bliss! ^_^ Why don't vacations last forever?! If I was the Education Minister, I would have made sure college lasted 3 months an year and vacations for the rest. *That is why I ain't the EM is another story :D* But hey! Don't even get me started on Education system. *You ask a lazy girl interested in everything cute, nice and colorful, to study fat ass Engg. textbooks, this is what happens*.

And finally, the pointless rant comes to an end 8)

Also, I am humming this song from morning :D Isn't it so effing addictive?! No? :D

Muhahaha :D I made sure you'll hum it all way too :D YAY! me 8)

So, what was I supposed to talk about? Review! Oh yaaa!

 It comes in this brown plastic case with a metallic base. I couldn't click pictures of it though. The damned battery of the cam died down.

You guys remember I bought this as a gift to mom for Mother's Day? If you don't know, read that post, you'll know :P Well, my very cranky choosy mom felt this color was too sheer and 'doesn't look like I am wearing any color'. Err. Epic Fail of mine :P When I bought this, I somewhere forgot that she has slightly pigmented lips, and also, unlike me, she likes dark, INYOURFACE colors on her lips >.<
Recently, I bought her a color of her choice, and she tossed this into my lipstick basket. *Yea, I have a basket for lipsticks and glosses. Tiny one. Please gift me lipsticks :o*

And I am so digging this color ^_^

Its very unlike me though. I am more of a pinks and corals girl. I feel browns make me feel look ill :o

Tinted taupe is a pinkish brown color, pretty sheer. In the case, it looks more brown, but swatches pinkish with brown undertones. Berry brown I can say.



It glides on butter smooth (I make sure there is lip balm beneath though, always!) and stays for a good 4-5 hours. With sipping, eating, talking, smooching(Not tried with this on ;)),it still gives a good stay time, and leaves back a nice sheen.

You are NOT allowed to laugh at this photo. I am trying so hard to get you neat swatches. Even if I look hilarious. Hmph!


And weirdly, I love how it smells :D Like toffees ^_^ All I want to do is take a bite :D Its not over powering though. Sensitive noses shouldn't have a problem with this.

One thing I find annoying is the packaging.. I wish it was more feminine. Also, the sides should have been glossy. C'mon, emergency mirrors are always welcome 8)

Other than that, I totally dig this lippie. Its a pretty color, economical and smells so awesome :D

Oh and guys, here is my FOTD! :) My favourite picture of today :D
PS: See my skin? Its clearing up :) No new break outs *touchwood* The scars you see are old ones. I have decided to put up my pictures atleast once a week, to let you(and me)know how good its doing :) I have no concealer anywhere on my face :P No tinted moisturizer either :) I have a feeling that in about a month everything will get cleared out :) Happy flawless skin :)


Oh and my latest resolution, no matter what happens, I'll post once a day, everyday, at-least until my college re-opens :)
PS: I am not responsible for lame posts. YOU asked for it 8)

So that is for today! :) Lemme know how you like the color, and also tell me I look very pretty :) Synonyms of pretty are welcome too 8)

Mmwahh! :)

Until next time,

Love,
Namita
