Review of the lipsticks I ordered

So, I got the lipsticks I ordered. Wooohhooo !! Are they gorgeous or are they gorgeous ! :) I am in love with the colours.
Ok, so I will be taking a leaf out of all the blogs I have been reading which describe and give reviews about products - they talk about the texture, smell, longevity, taste etc about everything - I shall try to do justice.

I'll get straight into them. So I bought two colours from L'oreal Paris Mega Gloss right ? One of them is Fight for It 109 (pictures below). I liked the pink shade it seemed to have on the website.
Website image from Amazon.in

Looks pretty similar to the image, doesn't it ? Wow, it is actually a perfect match - this usually does not ever happen, which is why bring lipsticks online is such a pain in the you-know-where!
Anyway, this colour looks very pretty and pink, and has a nice smell - it is slightly fruity. The applicator is pretty funky - I think they have given it the shape it has so that it comes on your lips easily and the contours can be maintained. 
There is not much of a taste to the lipstick / gloss; it has a nice bright pink tinge to it and after a while there is a slight tingly sensation on your lips - kind of like when you eat mint or something. It doesn't bother me much, so I am ok with it.

Anyway this is how the colour looks on my skin. I like it, but think it is too pink ... :-/

Coming to the second shade : Protest Queen 103. It looks very purple kind of pale in the image and I was hesitant to buy it, am not sure how purple would look on my skin. Anyway I saw an image of Eva Longoria wearing it and I thought - well she has a similar skin tone, and it looks nude and gorgeous on her, might as well try it out :)
Now how the colour looks in real life is pasted below.







The colour looks vaguely similar but not as close the previous one.
Anyway, I applied the lipstick and I must be honest - it is GORGEOUS ! It  suits my skin tone. Below is a swatch and how it looks on my lips.
I have tried to compare the 2 colours on my hand to give you guys a comparative view of what they look like. Protest Queen looks super nude compared to Fight For It...

Anyway, this is how the colour looks on me - it is super nude and gives my lips a slight shine with a hint of a very pale pink, which I absolutely love.
Fight For It is up for grabs (as promised) :)
