REVIEW & LOTD: Colorbar True Gloss Lip Gloss in Natural Tan

You know how every one keeps chanting the term MLBB? Well for those who still find it to be akin to Heiroglyph, MLBB stands for My Lips But Better. Honestly? I have always been jealous of those who have found their MLBB shades and needless to say I have been on the lookout for it myself... But all in vain. I did come close to find my ML (My Lips) shade in MAC Taupe, but the BB (But Better) part is something that has been eluding since like ever! So imagine my surprise when I finally got myself Colorbar's True Gloss Lip Gloss in Natural Tan and found it to be my MLBB :D Oh yeah baby, I am now a proud owner of an MLBB lip gloss :)

It was out of sheer accident that I bought this. I had got myself the bright pink shade in Vintage Rose and since it turned out be one rocking product, I ventured into Beauty Center to get me some more shades in this range... Yup I bought a couple of more shades in Pinks and Oranges too. But when I saw this shade, a tiny little voice from inside of me pestered me to get this too ;) And boy! am I happy I listened to those little devil's voices? :P

Now Colorbar True Glosses as such are real revolutionary products that some in around 10 really vibrant shades. They have 2-3 shades in Pink, about 4 shades in Orange, 1 in Red and well 1 in neutral! They stay on for like ever. The gloss rubs off but it leaves behind a really bright stain on your lips that just don't go away even with meals, coffees and yup even apples in between. I wear it to office in the morning, have numerous cups of coffee, eat two apples, couple of cups of tea, sandwiches, biscuits and salads and yet when I am home in the evening, it is still there! Nice and bright!

This particular shade looks like I am wearing transparent gloss over a lip primer. It hides my pigmentation and gives a uniform and a very flatteringly natural tone to my lips with a bit of juicy glossy effect!

They are not sticky, have no fragrance, do not cause any irritation and come in no fuss glass tubes with a doe foot applicator and I am smitten.

Now let's face it, I have terrible hair... No really I do... Let's say what God didn't give my hair, compensated it with my skin and I sure have bad hair... People tweet and rant about Bad Hair Days, but for me Bad Hair Days are like any other day and it is the Good Hair Days that I actually tweet and post about ;) You get the drift don't you? :P

So every time I plan to do something new to my hair like rebond, straighten, color or even get a haircut, I have to like give it a lot of thought and totally research things well... And this is what I went through last week when I suddenly decided to color my hair... Now my hair is like the darkest of browns and am totally against getting lighter brown or even blonde highlights... Nope they wouldn't suit me and my coarse hair... I was looking more at shades like Burgundy and Dark Reds but I wasn't quite sure :(




Then I had a mentos and meri dimaag ki batti jal gayee, yup that's a bit of drama that I like to add here and there and well I remembered receiving some PR emails from L'Oreal Paris reps about this new L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss...

India as you know has always been a grey coverage market but we feel that given the right product, we can get the modern Indian woman to experiment with colour and bring out her individuality.

OMG, its as if they read my mind! I need Grey Coverage too!!! It's like a hereditary thing for me and I have been living with it since so long that I almost forgot I needed to cover Grey! ha ha ha :D

It is easy to apply, takes just 20 minutes and comes in a do-it-yourself kit which saves unnecessary trips to the parlour. The delicate fragrance makes colouring a luxurious treat! It delivers on every aspect, quite like the modern Indian woman. 

Oh yeah baby! You had me at righ glossy tones and a stunning glossy shine! *giggle* *giggle*... I so wanted it like right now! They even had a link with like a ton of FAQs and I must say I was quite impressed with how they were sure I would love their hair color product ;) Here's the link in case you want some questions answered too...

But still I was like in double minds, if I should or should not...

Our campaign aims to educate women about the benefits of colouring their hair. We would like to also get them to Say Yes To Colour! Since, most women are apprehensive about colouring their hair; we want to introduce women to the safe No Ammonia Casting Crème Gloss. We want women to rediscover themselves and try different shades from our range!

Oh yeah I want myself educated! Education is important isn't it ;) I made up my mind to actually try it for myself! But which shade would suit me? And then they said something like this...

To pick a shade that suits you the best, take our 'My Hair My Colour' quiz here:http://bit.ly/MyHairMyColour

And well the shade that was recommended to me after I took the quiz is something that made me ecstatically happy :D He he..

I am yet to color my hair, but I have received a sample from them in the shade that I chose after taking the quiz and I guess it'll be my weekend home work ;) Stay tuned for color updates! :D

How could I resist, when they promised me:
1. Stunning Glossy Shine
2. No Ammonia and hence no damage
3. Easy DIY kit!
4. Grey Coverage!
