Colorbar Nail Color Sizzling Pink Review and NOTD
by Snigdha
Hi All!
I am here with my second post on MABH. I love applying different shades of nail paints whether it is branded or non-branded (does not matter for me). I used to have long and well shaped nails but now-a-days I have to cut my nails for my new born baby. okay now come to the product i.e. Colorbar NP ‘Sizzling Pink’.
Colorbar is a very familiar brand among all of us and the name of the NP indicates that it’s a shade of pink. If am not wrong, pink is a color which each girl wants in her wardrobe and for me pink is one of the bright and eye soothing colors which brings a cheerful mood. I love everything pink in my makeup wardrobe especially.
So let’s come to the detail review.
The Colorbar Nail Polish is a simple one stroke application and fortifies the nails while giving them a high shine and intense color. It is fast drying and chip resistant. It does not yellow the nails and is long lasting. It is just what you need to make your hands look salon perfect!
Price and Quantity:
Rs. 110 for 9 ml
Availability:
Available at all colorbar stores and also online (I bought it online)
Shelf life:
2 yrs from mfg.
My Take on Colorbar Nail Color Sizzling Pink:
This nail color comes in a typical square shape glass nail paint bottle with a black sturdy cap which makes it travel friendly. It has also a good quality applicator. The NP is bubble gum pink in color. The texture is neither so thick nor so thin. Its just easy to apply.
Two coats are enough for the full opaque coverage. The glossy finish of it brightens my fingers a little and I love it.
Then when it comes to the staying power, I will say it is okay-okay type. After 4-5 days (maximum) it starts chipping from the top (I do all my household work) If you apply a top coat on it then it may stay for some more days.
At last I must say it is pretty good according to its quality and quantity. See the below pictures and say how it is looking on my nails.
Why I like this Nail Polish?:
- Nice shade (Pink loving girls gonna love it)
- Good quality applicator
- Affordable price as compare to quality and quantity
- Easily available colorbar stores and online
- Two coats enough for a good coverage.
Why I don’t like this Nail Polish?:
- Excluding the staying power I can’t find anything wrong.
MABH Rating: 4/5
Will I buy it again?:
Hmm. I will try another shades.
Have you tried any Colorbar NPs ?
Colorbar I Define Eye Pencil Moss Green 004 Review
by Gayatri
Hey all!
So today I am here with another colorbar eye pencil review which is Colorbar I Define Eye pencil in Moss Green. These pencils have become so popular for their staying power, quality, etc. I’ve already reviewed Colorbar I Glide pencil in Passionately Gold on MABH before. I was thinking to get a green shade and so chose this one from the I Define range.
Rs.325.00 for 1.1g
Product Description:
Rich in colour and silky smooth, the I Define Eye Pencil gives colour to the eyes in one stroke. Smudge proof and waterproof, it does not feather or bleed. Available in matte and pearly finish, it gives the eyes a flat or frosted look. Lasting up to 24 hours.
Shelf Life:
3 years
Ingredients:
Isododecane, Cerecin, Microcrystalline wax, Polyisoprene, Polymethyal Methacrylate, Hydrogenated vegetable oil, Jojoba oil, Propylparaben, Dicalcium phosphate, Lecithin, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl palmitate, Propylene palmitate, Propylene carbonate, Iron oxide(CI 77499, 77492), Titanium dioxide(CI 77891), Yellow 5 lake(CI 1940), Blue 1 lake(CI 42090), Ultramarines(CI 77007), Chromium oxide greens(CI 77288), Manganese Violet(CI 77742)
My Take on Colorbar I Define Eye Pencil Moss Green:
The product is packed in a silver colored pencil with a cap which is again kept in a paper made box. The end part of the pencil or the tail part indicates the color of the pencil which perfectly matches it. The cap is so tight and thus travel friendly. The product in it is so soft and so this should be handled carefully in order not to break it. Also this product need to be be sharpened which I really hate since lots of the product is lost during sharpening. The shelf life is written on the pencil itself so you need not keep the outer cover for it.
The shade of this eye pencil is moss green which looks something like the henna color or khaki color. It is soft in texture and applies easily on skin. On bright light it shows like metallic or slightly glittery. The shade is so good and suitable to all skin complexions.
This one is also pigmented and waterproof. Splash some water on your face and you’ll still find it there without any smudge. But sometimes you need to glide the pencil twice to show on the lids properly. This one stays on the water line as well and the staying power is so good. It stays around 8 to 10 hours and then starts fading. It settles on the skin so fast and can’t be smudged. So if you need a Smokey look, you need to be so fast to smudge it slightly. Soap water can’t remove this and so you need to clean it using a creamy cleanser and gently wiping it with cotton. The product is worth the price but yes, little costly too.
Why I like this Eye Pencil?:
- Available easily
- Good packaging
- Travel friendly
- Ingredients list is available
- Nice shade
- Suitable to all skin complexions
- Glides easily
- Staying power is so good
- Waterproof
- Pigmented
- One or two strokes are enough
- Doesn’t smudge
- Stays on waterline also
- Expiry date is printed on the pencil itself
- Worth the price
Why I don’t like this Eye Pencil?:
- Costly
- Loss of product during sharpening

Will I Recommend?:
Yes, definitely. It is a worth try product and the shade is simply awesome.
Colorbar I Glide Eye Pencil Passionately Gold Review
Hey all.. How are you? I am today here to review an eye pencil. Everyone knows how popular these pencils are and now I too love these. I bought two shades of this range which are the passionately gold 008 and moss green 004.
Price:
Rs.350
My Take:
This product looks like a plastic silver colored pencil. Packaging just looks good and cute. The cap is tight enough and is travel friendly. But I saw that the main product inside the pencil is soft and weak. So it can break easily if you do not keep it safe or handle properly. The expiry date is printed on the pencil itself. So you need not keep the outer cover at all.
As the name says, the shade is golden color. It has some glittery look and pigmented which it also shows on the skin as well. The pencil glides on the skin easily and doesn’t smudge also. Also it is waterproof. So even if splash some water on your face, it is not going to smudge at all. The product is so smooth like a gel liner. Just glide once and you are done. You need not apply a second coat at all. Even it gives a thick layer so if you glide more than once on your eyelid, it is not going to look that good, I guess.
It definitely stays long for at least 8-10 hours and then starts fading. For oily skinnies, it may stay minimum 5 hours. Moreover it stays on the waterline for hours. Isn’t that great? The swatch pic shows how a single stroke of it looks on the skin. It gives very good look but I think this shade suits fair skins better than dark beauties. It is perfect for golden eye makeup. But if you want to smudge it for smokey look, you need to be very quick. Smudge it as soon as possible because it is going to set on the skin so fast. The problem with this product is the price though it is a worth the price. Also I hate the sharpening process. Lots of the product gets wasted due to sharpening. Not only sharpening, since it is so smooth and weak, the product tends to break while sharpening.
Why I like?:
- Available both online and offline
- Good packaging
- Ingredients list is available
- Glides easily
- Stays long
- Waterproof
- Pigmented
- One stroke is enough
- Doesn’t smudge easily
- Stays on waterline also for hours
- Expiry date is on the pencil itself
- Worth the price
Why I don’t like?:
- Suitable to only fair or wheatish skin tones
- Costly
- Loss of the product during sharpening
- Product easily breaks
Will I Recommend?:
Of course I will. Why not? This product is really good and can give you a super look on any special occasion.

Colorbar Velvet Matte Bare Lipstick Review, Photos and Swatches
Hey sweeties,
Long time, no see!! I am now sitting comfortably at my home after the hectic hostel life. I missed, everyone of you, your sweet comments, everything. If there are any girls staying at hostel, please I badly need your advice. No more feelings, Today I present to you girls, one of the most popular lipstick from the Colorbar range of cosmetics – BARE!
Price and Quantity:
Rs. 275 for 4.2 gm
My Take
Colorbar Velvet matte lipsticks come in a chubby silver packaging. It does not look cheap nor attractive. But shade location becomes really easy due to the colored ends.
Bare is a mixture of pink peach and brown. Quite a MLBB shade. This shade confuses me a lot, as it looks more pinkish than nude on me. Sometimes coral too. Sometimes more of a peach..Grrrr.. But overall a pretty color. I have a wheatish skintone and it doesn’t wash me out. It is best suited for fair-medium skinned girls. Dusky beauties should definitely try it in the store before purchase. The texture is really smooth. No tugging and pulling over the lips. A lip balm is definitely needed beneath the lipstick as it dries out lips a bit.
This is the one I was waiting for a long time. It is extremely pigmented. Just one swipe and you get the color that is exactly in the tube. Awesome pigmentation it has!. And yes, staying power is maximum. That means 4-5 hrs if applied normally. 6+ hrs if blotted with a tissue and reapplied. Pretty cool na? It stains lips so badly. I mean it. So badly. Stain stays even through a night.
On My Lips:
Swatch Test:
I swatched the first swatch now and the later one had been swatched yesterday evening. Even after 18 hrs, the stain is so vibrant. This happens on the lips too. It stains so badly that if not removed would stay all night.
Why I like?:
- Prices have been hiked, yet it is affordable
- Easily available at all Colorbar counters
- Smooth texture
- Pretty pretty shade, stunning daytime shade
- Awesomeeeee pigmentation, just one swipe is good to go
- Staying power is too good, 5-6 hrs easily
- Chubby packaging with colored ends
Why I don’t like?:
- Dries out lips a bit
- Stains lips so badly.
Rating: 5/5
Do I Recommend?:
What a question Sir ji? Definitely a big Yes!!. Grab it my sweeties, this could be your best friend.
Will I Repurchase?:
Not this particular shade. But I am eyeing some reds and corals from this range.
Colorbar Velvet Matte Sultry Pink Lipstick Review, Swatches and LOTD
Hi girls!
Today’s review is of a lipstick from an extremely popular range – the Colorbar Velvet Matte lipsticks. The shade I’ll be reviewing for you today is Sultry Pink. This is less of a review and more of a song of praise. You have been warned.
Rs 250 for 4.2g. I think they’ve hiked the price to 275 now! It is available on discount at some online shopping sites.
My Take:
These lipsticks come in a very sleek silver packaging with a transparent lid. The lipstick also has a colored bottom so you can easily identify the shade. I really like the packaging. I think it’s a refreshing change from black and brown coloured tubes!
Coming to the texture of this lipstick, it’s quite creamy – almost velvety (see what I did there? :D yeah okay moving on). The shade Sultry Pink is a very deep pink. This shade would look gorgeous on fair and dusky beauties alike. The lipstick offers full coverage (the number of swipes required will depend on how pigmented your lips are.)
The ‘2-in-1 formulation that gives the lips a creamy, yet matte finish’ claim is also true because, though the lipstick is a matte finish one, it neither feels dry on the lips nor tugs on the lips.
Another notable thing about this lipstick is that it leaves a stain on the lips when it fades. The stain left is quite even and is a lovely matte pink. It doesn’t go until you remove it with a makeup remover. I think this is a huge plus point for girls with pigmented lips because even when the lipstick fades, your lips are still left looking healthy and pink. Love! :D
LOTD:
PROS:
- Very reasonably priced
- Easily available
- Universally flattering shade of pink
- Gives full coverage
- Smooth matte finish with slight sheen
- Leaves a stain on fading
- Does not feel dry on the lips
- Does not bleed
CONS:
- Staying power is only about 3 hours
- Settles into fine lines a bit (this is expected since this is a matte lipstick but I’m still putting this down)
Rating: 4.5/5
Final Word:
Sultry Pink is a lovely, extremely flattering shade of pink that will instantly light up any skin tone. I really wish I could have given this 5 on 5 but it does have a few minor flaws. If you haven’t bought one of these lipsticks already then go now! These are absolutely brilliant in terms of coverage, texture and price. You can’t go wrong with these. I highly recommend this lipstick. :)
