Oh! How clearly I remember getting this product I had gone to the beauty store in search of a good concealer for my dark circles and ended up buying this. As soon as I entered the store I headed towards Maybelline counter in hopes of finding a concealer. I was disappointed to find that Maybelline didn’t sell any concealer in India. Just when I was turning away, a SA of the very next counter which belonged to Lotus Herbals started showing me something. I must tell that particular SA was so pushy !!
She got me to buy a lip gloss and other product which is lotus swift makeup. It is a 4 in one product which acts as foundation, concealer, compact providing matt powder finish and lastly moisturizing. She applied the product in the under eye area and it was successful in concealing them to an extent. So I finally got it and after using it for quite sometime now, here’s the review ---
PRODUCT: Lotus Herbals Natural Blend Swift Makeup
PRICE: 249 rupees
QUANTITY: 10g
This product comes in a thick lipstick like case which has a transparent cover on the top. The top can be removed and the bottom is twisted up to use the product. It looks like an ordinary stick foundation.
I personally do not prefer stick foundations because they are too difficult to blend making the process of applying the foundation too tedious.
I tried applying this foundation all over my face but I highly disliked the way it makes you feel. It makes my face feel very weird. The foundation is not difficult to blend into the skin but it kind of feels very strange and abnormal to me when I apply it all over my face. It made me feel like I am wearing something thick on my face.
I dislike the oily- kind of smell that this product has. Being a huge fragrance fan – oily smell is a total turn off for me.
I also dislike the fact that this product stands at the risk of getting contaminated. Everytime we apply this product on the skin the bacteria can keep on lodging itself on the top of the product which may cause acne or break-outs later on. You can’t risk applying the product with your bare hands until they are absolutely clean.
Since it is creamy and moisturizing, I have broken its stick twice. :)
This product is good for covering acne and blemishes on your skin. It acts as a good spot concealer but certainly not as face foundation.
It has SPF 15 which is also good as you won’t need to apply sunscreen separately.
LOVE IT OR CHUCK IT? : This product is definitely a pass for me. I use this product to conceal blemishes. I would definitely chuck it if I were to use it as a foundation.
HAVE YOU USED THIS PRODUCT? ?

Even I don't feel very comfortable in using such stick products...Their consistency is a lot different from liquid products and feel difficult to blend..Nice review Rids!! :D
