REVIEW OF SWATCHES OF DOSE OF COLORS HOLIBAE SET

 "A good lipstick has the power of dress up to our lips"...

Today I am going to share my thoughts over DOSE OF COLORS HOLIBAE set. The set was launched during last holiday but all the shades in it are available individually on DOSE OF COLOR website. So If you like any you can definitely check it out. Thankfully they are not limited edition :)

Price of HOLIBAE SET was RS.3300/- whereas Individual liquid lipsticks are priced Rs.1800/- each ($18)

SHADE DESCRIPTION:-

DOSE OF COLOR HOLIBAE SET has 3 pretty red shades. They are:-

• BITTERSWEET:- It is an orange-red shade.
• STRAWBERRY POP:- It is a strawberry red shade.
• EXTRA SAUCEY:- It is a deep red shade.

Among all 3 I love EXTRA SAUCEY most followed by STRAWBERRY POP.  The shade BITTERSWEET is little patchy and so I don't like it much.

DESCRIPTION:-

Our Liquid Matte Lipstick has a velvety high-fashion matte finish which envelops lips in rich, long-wearing color. It applies as a creamy liquid but after a few minutes, it dries to an ultra comfortable matte finish.

Colors may vary, the results of our colors may vary due to a number of factors including but not limited to; monitor resolution settings, lighting & skin tone, etc.

Tips: Exfoliate lips before use. Avoid oily/greasy foods.

PACKAGING:-

The holibae set is very adorable set. The red color of the packaging was really popping out from my stash. Inside the box, there are 3 full-size liquid lipsticks which are 3 different tones of red. The lipstick itself comes in a matte case packaging like the regular liquid lipsticks of Dose of Colors with a white cap on it. The wand is a doe foot applicator for which it is easy to line and fill up the lips.


MY EXPERIENCE:-

I am a big fan of matte liquid lipsticks. The Dose of Colors was a hit and miss brand for me in past so I hardly buy from this brand. But the holibae set was looking so adorable then and I was on a shopping spree I bought this set.  Inside the set, there were 3 pretty different shades of red. BITTERSWEET, STRAWBERRY POP AND EXTRA SAUCEY. I love both STRAWBERRY POP AND EXTRA SAUCEY but BITTERSWEET is a bit patchy on my lips. I don't know why but every time I tried out any coral or orange shade from Dose of Colors I found they are patchy in texture.

Leaving the BITTERSWEET I really love the texture of the other two. They have mousse kind of consistency and they have a mild candy smell in it. The liquid lipsticks applied evenly on my lips and turn into matte within few seconds of applications. The liquid lipsticks stay intact on my lips 6-7 hours with a slight bit of fading if I eat or drink anything. These are transfer-proof but on dry lips, it will tend to dry out the lips more. So these lipsticks are not suitable for dry lips beauties. 

Overall the liquid lipsticks are the good one and if you want to try it you can try it but I would not recommend it as I have some better quality liquid lipsticks from other brands.

That's all for today. See you in my next post.
