  •  Closer Look-

  • swatch-
without flash

  • Quality- Very creamy consistency, glides easily. But, if tried on other powdery base, it cakes and doesn't glide smoothly. This is kinda losng lasting, can wear upto 6-7 hours. It does get smudges easily due to it's creaminess and the colors doesn't seem that very pigmented if not applied several strokes. The colors are nice.. blue one is kinda smokey blue..with greyish undertone. Green is not much green, and rather it's more of paste type moss green. and brown one is burnt sienna color, and it is kinda copper type with flash. And golden one is most perfect when swatched on hands or applied on eyelid. I like the golden one the most. All of them are very shimmery and gives glittery eye lids! So, it's kinda my type item.. and I like it for my party look and night make up!

MUA_Luxe_Reckless swatch and review


  • Packaging- MUA Luxe REckless comes in this black and golden colored packet and I consider this to be not very gorgeous but for the price and material it sort of goes well. It's 3 pound, in the website and with the look it's justified.

  • Color- The color was the main attraction for me, not the brand, not the quality. All that I went crazy for was- the deep maroon..cabernet(red wine) type color. According to me, It's one of the precious colors that I own so far! The mesmerizing cool toned maroon with a velvety look made me bound to get this just the moment I saw this on the website! Another thing, that I should mention that, about other colors like- funk, people complained that it differs from the swatch they saw online, but Reckless has been shown just like this on the MUA website, and I had no complains after getting it! :)

  • After Application-  It feels quite dry on the lips and dries very fast. It's more like my Lime crime suedeberry effect on my lips and quite long lasting as well. It doesn't fade or cake or transfer easily and while having food(oily) it seemed to fade a little, but other than that, with dry food like cookies and other things like drinking water, it's perfectly alright and for removing it, i had to apply the same technique like removing it with Vaseline or make up removing agent. For me, it's a wonderful velvet lip color and probably the one and only lipstick that i'll be able to finish it in this life time! lol.. but seriously i like it that much..& it's worth buying again! It's soo gonna be in my repeat purchase list! Love it..

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip balm -Berry crush!

  • Packaging- I like how it's packed, in fact the packaging actually attracted me in the shop, to buy it. it was one of my impulse buys..not even like i was searching for it!
  •  Color- It had total 3colors i guess, light pink(baby pink), orange and this one. I always prefer a redish tint, so went for this, "berry crush" After opening it looks like a strawberry red as you can see. It has a very sweet fragrance as well. very like the berry type scent.
After applying on the lips, this looks like- sort of like a pinkish tint on the lips. It's glossy but not too glossy, just perfect for winter time. And, the right amount of moisture in it, leaves your lips smooth and soft even if you've put it last night and woke up in the morning!
  • swatch- swatched twice on my hand.
Closer look-

Swatch on my lips-

After applying on lips, it luks slightly pinkish, like a little pinker than your own lips.. but, not how i thought it would be. I thought it would be a bit more redish and will look brighter, but actually it doesn't look like so. Hence, i would rate the appearance and outcome as 3.5 out of 5. So far, as a lip balm, it's good, I like the feeling of light moisturizing instead of too glossy, so it works for me! I'm happy with it! :)
