COLORBAR Definer Lip Liner Review and Swatches

Hey Everyone,
Writing my first review on this blog and also the first for 2015 and I decided to talk about Lip liners... yes, the most understated makeup product.

So, here I present COLORBAR Definer Lip Liner



Product Claims:
Here comes a perfect partner for your lipstick that keeps it in place for an all day look.This waterproof magic lip wand works as a fabulous lip filler which makes a proper matte base for your lips. The innovative refined formula follows and outlines the lip contour with an adjustable coverage and does not smudge

My Take on Definer Lip Liner
I bought Red lipliner from Colorbar and fell in love with it so went ahead and bought the whole range of colours. The texture is beautiful for a lip liner- super smooth and matte with easy application. A good range of colours is available to sail your through all your colour needs. It's long lasting and stays put easily for 6-8 hours even after eating. 
Due to the intense colour and matte finish, can be worn as is or under your favorite lipstick or with just a dab of gloss.
Another good thing about these liners is that they come with an inbuilt sharpener in the lid, so no need to keep a separate sharpener handy!!



Swatches


From Left to Right- 006 Creamy Nude; 007 Sizzling Orange; 011 Mad Pink;
001 Clear Red; 012 Perfect Maroon




Price

Where is it Available?

Do I Recommend it??

Favorite Makeup Finds of 2014 (India)

We are almost two weeks into 2015... it is only fair to talk about my favorite Make up finds of 2014 now, before starting anything afresh for this year...
Moving back to Mumbai, India from Singapore mid year was a big task and phase of settlement. In the remaining 6 months, one thing that I couldn't keep my hands off was buying makeup. This was mainly due to the fact that my stuff was getting over and I needed to replace them with what's easily available in India but this does not mean that I didn't have any impulse buys *wink wink*

Let me show you and take you through my favorite products in 2014 

1. Faces CC Cream: The first thing that got over was my CC cream (oh... how I miss my Mary Kay CC cream here...) so I went ahead and bought Faces CC cream in Natural since I use a CC cream during daytime almost every day. It's doing a fairly good job but I would like to try other brands in 2015. Price: Rs.399/-

2. Faces Longwear Eye Pencil in Metal Brown: This was one of the impulse buys but I am glad that I bought it... it has an amazing texture, lasts long, good for softer definition and precise lines as well... what more you could ask from an eye pencil... Price: Rs.449/-

3. Maybelline The Colossal Kajal in Black: Which Indian woman does't love her kajal? Yes, we all love kajal but at the same time are concerned about smudging. This kajal solves that problem and hence is my favorite. Price: Rs.199/-

4. The BodyShop Lipscuff: It's a scrub for lips. Takes all the dead skin off your lips leaving them soft and smooth. Price: Rs.700/-

5. Colorbar Creme Touch Lipstick in Go Orange (040 C): My search for a perfect Orange Lipcolor ended with Go Orange. It's a creme lipstick that keeps your lips moist and lasts fairly long... Price: Rs.475/-

6. Maybelline Lip Polish in POP 6: It's a pretty Red lipcolour which has an intense color and glossy finish. Saw it in the advert and couldn't help buying it... need to say it was an impulse buy?? Price: Rs.450/-

7. Colorbar Definer Lip Liner in Clear Red (001): Was in search for a red lip liner that doesn't dry my lips and is smooth textured... and here I found this Colorbar liner. Really smooth and creamy and gives a perfect red for me. Price: Rs.599/-

8. Colorbar Definer Lip Liner in Mad Pink (011): Another lip liner from Colorbar which gives a cute pink colour to my lips if applied lightly and stays on forever. It's great when I am just looking to have a pink stained lips. Price: Rs.599/-

9. M.A.C Lipliner in Spice: A perfect Nude lipliner. Good for anytime. Soft, creamy and long lasting... Price: Rs.1400/-

10. L'oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Mascara in Extra Black: A great find after Maybelline Rocket Volume Mascara (Why Rocket?? I still don't know), which I was using in Singapore. It really makes lashes look more voluminous and the color is perfect... jet black. Price: Rs.795/-

So, that was all about my fav... What were your favorite products in 2014?? Did you use any of my fav products? How was your experience with them... Do leave a comment and share...

New Year... New Beginnings!!

Hello Everyone!!
Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year and may you have a wonderful 2015!!

They say don't wait for a New Year to start something new and I believe in it 100% but somehow this time I had decided to start with the New Year...

I know it took me really long to put on the Makeup (refer here) but I felt I should be presentable enough when I am introducing myself...

So, this post will be all about I, Me, Myself....

Who Am I??
I am a Makeup Artist, a Style Coach and an Etiquette Trainer. Basically from Delhi... globe trotting since last 7 years... stayed in various cities like Bangalore, Cincinnati (USA), Kobe (Japan), Singapore... everywhere from few months to few years and now finally moved back to Mumbai.
I am wife to a Scientist and mum to a three and half year old boy... I used to write a blog Mom-the Diva (http://momthediva.blogspot.sg/) and discontinued it but since writing is my passion, I am coming back to blogging again. And btw... everyone calls me Neha...


What is this Blog all about??
Makeup and Makeover with Neha will be all about MakeUp and Makeovers (sorry for trying to be funny!)
There will be talks about beauty, style, makeup, wellness, makeup products, tutorials (hopefully), reviews, dressing up, makeovers, etc. etc.
Enjoy reading and do share your thoughts on how am I doing in this second innings as a blogger!!
