Type: Liquid Matte
Weight: 6 ml
Colour: Pink with coral undertones (when applied fresh)
Shade number and name: 483 Rose Boudoir
Packaging: Glass bottle with a doe foot applicator
Pros:
Great shade: I love this shade because it makes my skin look brighter. This is an important quality to look for in a lipstick when attending interviews or being on a job related to any service industry where you are expected to personally deal with people on a daily basis. Earlier, I had my reservations about wearing dark lipsticks but after using this one a couple of times, getting used to seeing myself in a dark lipstick, receiving compliments and women enquiring about it.. I was finally convinced. Whatever the colour of my clothes, I can confidently wear it with MOST of them.
Application: Smooth application on non dry lips.
Long lasting: This lipstick lasts for about 5-6 hours (when you don't eat anything in between).
Transference: It takes 2-3 minutes for this lipstick to settle. Does not transfer on dry objects. Transfers only when lips are rubbed with some force. Does not bleed (after drying) either.
Opaqueness: Highly pigmented lipstick. Use little amounts initially before applying and then use some more as per the left out spaces on your lips.
Coverage: Covered my lips in a single swipe.
Fragrance: Has a hint of a sweet scent to it.
Special mention: As per it's website, all 'Chambor' products are free from animal ingredients.

Cons:
Application: Is not so smooth, if you have dry lips and are applying this lipstick in small amounts without a lip balm. As is the case with most liquid lipsticks, this one too, when applied carelessly, will cause the extra liquid to become an uneven layer on your lips, if it has no blank spaces to fill. Later, it will bleed/transfer if not dabbed away lightly with a tissue. Some of this layer can also get transferred onto our teeth while talking or eating.

Not foodproof: Most of the colour fades after eating.
Not waterproof: One will have to clean their lips with a dry tissue after eating.
Metallic taste: Try not to lick this lipstick before it settles.
Not travel friendly: The lipstick bottle is made of glass. You will need to use extra protection around it if you are planning to carry it in your handbag/purse because the outer packaging is a simple box which will lose its sturdiness over time. It's been around a year since I bought this lipstick and the contents of the product seem to spread out more and more around the mouth of the bottle because I had to keep it horizontal on the floor to click it's pictures. Make sure you always keep the bottle in an upright position when storing it away after use.
Turns orange when lip balm is applied as a base: I have dry lips. So I have to compulsorily wear lip balm before applying lipstick. Turns out, when the two come together, it turns the shade a bit orange.
Lips feel extremely dry without a lip balm. Dry lips (like mine) will also flake a tiny bit if this product is used without a lip balm.
