Whats your lipcolor - Nelf Trendy Diva Lipstick Swatches

I had swatched and reviewed Nelf Cosmetics Trendy Diva lipcolor in Royal Pink shade last month that got mixed views. On some requests by my readers to review more shades from the same range, today I've come up with a review of two beautiful shades Trendy Diva Alive and Maroon.

                                                 

                                                       Trendy Diva Alive Lipstick (TD 40)

The shade TD40 called as Alive is a perfect nude lipstick shade that is not too dark, nor too light. The soft, dusty pink shade is apt to play up the warmth of my skin tone. I liked the non-glossy formula that ensure that my lips don't disappear when I apply a light shade of nude lipcolor.

The Nelf Alive lipcolor in slight pinkness adds needed separation between my lips and my skin. The lipcolor will be a hit among young girls who don't like to show up bold colors.

I think all skin tones can carry this shade very well as everyday office wear or college wear for the fresh-faced glow, specially medium-fair skin. In short, Nelf TD40 in Alive shade is a perfect neutral lip shade to flatter your skin tone and light up your face without draining it of life.

Trendy Diva Maroon Lipstick (TD 20)

The another shade that I have got for myself is TD20 called as Maroon. This one is on the specific recommendation of my mom who insisted that I should go for deep maroon since I haven't worn this shade since many years now. 

Upon applying this lipcolor, I truly felt like thanking her for the advice (mom knows the best, u see) coz it looked so appealing. I can see myself wearing it with Indian ethnic outfits in my cousin's wedding the next month.

It gives beautiful coverage in single swipe on my lips. If dark, warm shades are your pick like me, don't hesitate to try double coats. I'm even open to try one shade darker than this maroon shade.

The lipcolor stays for good 4+ hours and doesn't dry out lips. I'm loving its semi-matte finish on my lips. You may layer it up with a lipgloss to flaut fuller lips (which is not my pick though).

The TD lipsticks come in a black packaging with see-through partition on its cap that will let you check the actual lipstick and help you decide whether to buy or not.

The shade number and shade name can be checked at the bottom of the packaging.

The lipsticks have long shelf life of 36 months that can be seen on outer cover.

The lipsticks are not complete transfer-resistant, but I prefer blotting them gently to enhance its staying power and avoid staining. All the Trendy Diva lipsticks from Nelf with added vitamin E nourish your lips with an advantage of being lead free as well. There are number of shades available at pocket friendly price of Rs 120 each (can be ordered here).

I'm fallen for both these lipcolor shades. Tell me whats your preferred one :)

NELFusa Trendy Diva Royal Pink Lipstick Review (TD-29)

NELF cosmetics is one of the most pocket friendly amongst its rivals and intends to sell its products at low prices especially for the beautiful teens. Working well on this philosophy, the brand has taken over the cosmetic industry with quality products for prettifying ladies' nail, eyes, lips and face. Whatever products I have tried till now are extremely good specially their Velvet Touch Lipsticks and Nail Enamels. Today is the day for their Trendy Diva range of lipsticks which I got in shade Royal Pink :) 

The packaging of this lipstick is more convenient in the sense that one could see the shade from a sealed pack because the top side of the cap has transparent opening instead of all covered (as seen in pic above). The rest of the body of packaging is black in color with shiny silver fonts. The bottom label of the lipstick clearly mentions shade name and number. But unlike the Velvet Touch lipstick, it doesn't mention the price anywhere.

My take on the product:
My first glimpse of this Royal Pink lipstick was a shocking one (just like the tagline for this range says "Time for a Color Shock Therapy !") because this shade is not something that I appreciate much for my skin tone and so was quite skeptical to give it a try honestly. It took me really few days to recover from this shocking first look and I dared to swipe it on my lips.

The lipstick is decently pigmented but gives an impressive opaque color only after built up in 2-3 swipes. The pink color of the lipstick shows somewhat eye-catching neon when swatched on my forearm, but turned out to be much better on my lips.

The lipstick has non-irritating subtle fragrance. Loaded with Vitamin E minus lead content gives the moisturizing feel to lips. It stays for 3-4 hours with slight glossy finish. With all its features, I would say Trendy Diva lipstick range at a nominal price of Rs 120 each is must try. Though the Royal Pink color may not look like not compliment dusky skin tones, but can create dramatic look for trendy Diva in you when your define your lips with a darker liner or wear the lipstick with complimenting outfits...anyways, there is wide variety of shades available to try.

Tried any of them? Let me know your experience ...
