Pune doesn't really get cold during the winters. The nights are sometimes chilly and yeah the early mornings make you want to dive back into your blankets but that's about the amount of winter that Pune sees. Some people say we are lucky and get to enjoy a temperate climate while some argue that if we don't get to bundle up in our furs faux of course and leather jackets with scarves and mufflers then we haven't experienced winters. With my in-laws giving me 4 degrees type of weather updates from Delhi and even my mom shivering in Mumbai (yes Mumbai!), I kinda feel left out :( But I haven't let this deter me from getting into the wintry mood and my makeup picks have started leaning towards Fall type of colors and textures :) Being in sync with this leaning of mood, I went and got myself "Rum Raisin" from Maybelline Moisture Extreme range of lipsticks.
Rum Raisin as you can see in swatches is an extremely difficult color to describe. It has a bit of red-maroon, brown-copper and bronze. What would you call this shade? I am going with reddish bronze (or maybe bronzish red?) :P I bought this shade on a whim cause when I swatched it on my hand, I just thought what the h*ck, it's Winter time! :D It as you can see is a wintry shade and very different from what I generally wear. It's a warm shade, which is interesting and quite unique...

Swatches
LOTD
Oooohhss And Aaaahhss!!
1. They boast of a huge variety of shades that range from neutrals to browns to corals to pinks to reds to maroons.
2. The lipsticks are extremely moisturising and do not dry the lips.
3. They do not cause any reactions and do not end up darkening the lips in the log run
4. They are totally odorless.
5. Decent staying power of about 4-5 hours.
6. Very easily available.
7. This shade especially fades to a beautiful stain and stays on for about and extra hour :)
Ouches!!
1. They are not really transfer proof
2. They rub off quite easily.
3. They could have made the packaging more attractive!
Price
They cost INR 220/-
Repurchase?
Yes and most of their shades suit the Indian Skintone.
Would I Recommend?
Hmmmm.. I don't know. I would surely recommend the range but this particular shade I would suggest that everyone swatch and decide for themselves :)
