Packaging

Shades

I got Samy-M22. This is a bright red, my kind of red, a young red. I don’t like deep reds much.

Texture & Smell

The texture of the lipstick is very creamy hence feels quite moisturising on lips. I do not need to use a separate lip balm under neath this lipstick. Even Though it is supposed to be matte, it does not accentuate fine lines or dry lines on lips. I didn’t notice any weird smell.

Pigmentation

This lipstick is rich in pigmentation and colour. It gives great colour pay off in just single swipe. If I swipe the lipstick multiple times, I find almost same pigmentation as with single swipe.

Longevity

Since it is highly pigmented bright colour, it stays put on lips for 4-5 hours. It survives in between meals and sips. Also even when it goes away, it leaves a reddish stain behind, which proves, it is highly pigmented.

Finish

The lipstick is termed as Be Matte, but it does not go completely matte on lips because it is moisturising. The finish is little satin. If I blot the lipstick with a tissue, it definitely looks matte. So it’s up to one’s desire to have matte/satin finish.

Likes

Beautiful shade.
Rich creamy texture.
Gives satin finish which can be blotted into complete matte finish.
Does not accentuate dry/fine lines.
Does not dry out lips further.
Nice Packaging.
A lot of shades to choose from.

Dislikes

Not available easily.

Summary : 4.5/5

I have got City Color Creamy Blush, which fared average, but I am really impressed with this lipstick. It is high quality, moisturising and pigmented. Talking about the colour it is that perfect red which will brighten your day.
