We all have that one friend to whom we turn to whenever we are happy, sad, excited, depressed etc and no matter what the age the bond which screams “you are the one I will want by my side no matter what” is always there. I feel there is a similar phenomenon with our lipsticks- There are high maintenance lipsticks which require lipliners, lip balms and what not before application, there are disappointing lipsticks which start to look unflattering on our lips right in the middle of a party and then there is that one lipstick which is your “swipe and go” and a colour which goes well with almost all your outfits, which is battered and dented by extreme usage but you still cannot let it go! :D For me, such a lipstick is Maybelline’s Colorshow range’s Choco-Latte! Check my views on the same here

Product name: Maybelline Colorshow Lipstick #313 Choco-Latte
Price: Rs.225 to 265. Prices vary at online shopping sites like Nykaa or Amazon. But I got mine at 225/-
Packaging: Maybelline Colorshow lipsticks come in a basic black tube packaging with a coloured translucent band in the middle which depicts the colour house of the shade inside. I quite like this bit because when your lipsticks outnumber your age things like this make it easy for you to find them out when you need it ;)

My Take: Maybelline Colourshow in Choco Latte is a warm brownish pink. Yes, the my-lips-but-better (MLBB) kind of shade we all love. It has been describe as a nude shade in many blogs, however I beg to differ. Nude lipstick and MLBB lipsticks are completely different story altogether since nude lipstick requires a full ace flawless makeup, while MLBB is your “swipe and go” kind of lipstick (Read more about such differences and a famous nude lipstick MAC Kinda Sexy HERE).

So back to point, this warm pinkish brown in a super buttery texture makes it perfect for almost every skin tone- The deeper skin tones would find this as a daily wear shade and the fairer skin tones would love this as a beautiful wearable brown which does not take life away from your face like other “dead browns” :P Also, it looks more brownish on wrist swatches but adjusts to your complexion beautifully when on lips :) On me its a beautiful dusty pink

There is no necessity of using a lip balm before applying this lipstick because it is very creamy! But the downside is that this factor makes it an extremely “Transfer to everything” kind of lipstick! L The staying power is about 3-4 hours if you do not go on munching and sipping and if you do, the full blown colour would fade to a lovely pinkish tint. Awesomely pigmented but does not settle into lines of lips, this lipstick is a sure “daily wear” winner J

Rating: 3.8/5
Overall, Maybelline Colorshow Choco Latte lipstick is a “purse worthy” lip color which will save your day anytime. For longer evening wear purpose, look elsewhere J
Tell us about your favourite such lipsticks so that I can pick them up, try and share with other readers :D

Finally, this is how it looks on my lips in two different lighting.
P.S: I also use this lipstick to "lighten" other dark lipsticks to make them more day-worthy :)
