Cameleon Color Stay 2 in 1 Liquid Lipstick-353

Phew!!! That's quite a mouthful. Today I will be reviewing one of my favorite lipstick from Cameleon. I have previously reviewed another shade from the same range. You can check it here.

As the name suggests it is a liquid lipstick. I would rather call it a lip cream. It is on the lines of NYX lip creams.

Well I am a bright lipstick girl. I have a pale complexion and light colors don't really work for me. This shade is also for those who love bright colors.

Shade: 353

Net weight: 4.5g + 4.5g

Price: Rs. 200

Instructions: After applying the color, leave for 2 minutes & then apply the shining gloss.

Color: It's a beautiful neon fuschia pink shade. It's a cool toned/blue based color which will work very well for medium to fair skin tones. It is quite bold color and brings a glow to your face. If you don't want to wear it with full intensity, you can always use it as a lipstain.

with gloss

without gloss

Texture: It is creamy & thick and is highly pigmented. When applied on lips it feels quite sticky. Don't forget to follow up with the gloss provided with it, once the lipstick dries. The gloss seals the lipstick and it doesn't even transfer or bleed.

Usage: The best way to use it is to dab some product from the applicator on to your lips and then spread it with the help of your fingers, as if you are massaging your lips. Yes this is the perfect way to use this or else you might end up using more than required which will only give you uneven color and a bad staying power. Make sure you have scrubbed your lips and have applied lip balm before applying this lipstick.

Staying power: This is something that really makes me go back to this product time and again. It literally stays on my lips the whole day, without eating. I have to remove it with a makeup remover/oil/cleansing milk. With eating it still stays on for around 5-6 hours which I think is much better than any of the other lipsticks I have tried. It leaves a slight stain behind.

Final Verdict: If you are looking for some budget friendly good quality lipsticks with excellent staying power-this is THE PRODUCT for you. I mean c'mon every girl needs to have them. I will be buying several other shades for sure.

This is how it looks on me:

FOTD: Casual day out

Yesterday I went out for a quick bite. I am not much of a makeup person but I love kohl-ing my eyes. That's all I do when I go out.

I lined my upper as well as lower lash line with a black kohl and finished it up by tapping some grey-black eyeshadow over the kohl. Applied a light stroke of a Maybelline lipstick, brushed my hair and ran away.

That's pretty much my routine for a casual day, with changes in the kajal application.

Let me know what you guys think.

Cameleon Color Stay 2 in 1 liquid lipstick

I do not own much lip colors or lipsticks or even lip balms for that matter. I just use Nivea Fruity Shine Lip Gloss in Pomegranate flavour. I bought this lipcolor because I was looking for some good matte red lipstick and I just instantly fell in love with this color as soon as I saw this in the shop.

Cameleon Color Stay 2 in 1 liquid lipstick

Product code: 343

Net weight: 4.5g + 4.5g

Price: Rs.190

Instructions: After applying the color, leave for 2 minutes & then apply the shining gloss.

Color: It's a perfect deep red. It's dries out to be matte with no shimmers at all. (I like my lipsticks/glosses minus any shimmer)

lip gloss

Texture: It is creamy & quite thick which dries out super fast. When I say super fast I literally mean it. Once dried it is not easy to remove it just by swiping or by plain water.

My Take: I really like the color- it's a beautiful matte deep red. It adds a glow to your face. Every time I wear this I get complements :) .I love the fact that it does not contain any shimmer. When topped with the transparent gloss it looks super pretty.
The color stays on me for good 6-7 hours with minimal fading(when I wear it to office I need not reapply it as it stays the whole day). You just need to re-apply the transparent gloss. It's quite drying since it's a matte lipcolor+long lasting one but I don't mind that because I always wear my lipbalm under this.
I like to wear it as a tint (just dab a dot or 2 over my lips and use my washed fingers to spread it evenly) rather than slathering it over my lips. It works better this way.

When I wear a thick layer of it, the color comes out to be a b'ful red and when I wear it as a lipstain it looks pink!! I love this lipstick.

Swatches:

 

Pros:
1) Beautiful color
2) Long lasting
3) No shimmers
4) Reasonably Priced
5) Great quantity
6) Comes with a gloss

Cons:
1) Drying for the lips
2) Dries superfast and can't be removed easily which can be a problem sometimes.
2) It fades unevenly when you wear a heavy layer of it.
3) No ingredient list
4) Availability might be a problem

All in all it's a great value for money for those people who don't want shimmers in their lipcolors and need a long lasting one.
