Review & Swatches Of Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Lipstick in Fuchsia File, Scarlet Surge, Ruby Rush, Red Letter & Blush Book Excited? Me too because this new range, Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Lipstick is the hottest talk of the town. Lakme re-invented Lakme 9 To 5 Lipsticks in Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Lipstick. Lakme has already done so in the past too, like Lakme 9 To 5 Quartet. That’s why you will notice the shade names are similar to the old range. So you can buy your favorite shade from the range but with a better formula, a formula that lasts upto 12 hours. Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Lipstick Lakme re-invents it’s 9 To 5 Lip Color giving it a long lasting formula infused with primer which preps lips for a smooth application and long lasting color. The Primer + Matte formula ensures flawless finish, intense color pay off, matte finish & 12 hour long stay. Price Rs. 480 for 3.6gm. Buy here. Packaging Lakme has not changed the packaging of Lakme 9 To 5 Lip Color range. The new range too comes in the same rose-gold packaging. The packaging is quite shiny & classy. The shade name is provided at the bottom of every lip color. The lipstick bullet has Lakme 9 to 5 logo printed over it. Some of the bullets are easy to twist up while some takes bit of pressure to pop out of the shell. Shade – Red Letter MR9 A warm toned beautiful & bright red shade from the range. It won’t disappoint any skin tone. Any skin complexion can carry it well, because of it’s warm undertones. Shade – Blush Book MR 19 It is baby pink shade. It is an everyday shade for college/office/casual outings. It has bot of cool undertones, hence one should apply it in moderation. Also it kind of accentuates dry lines if you have them on your lips. It might look patchy if not applied with care. Shade – Ruby Rush MR 20 I take Ruby shades are generally a mix of red & pink. This shade too is a nice mix of pinkish red. If I wipe of the color off my lips, I will see a pinkish tint behind. Very wearable when you want to flaunt your luscious put on that eventful night. Shade – Fuchsia File MR 21 A true Fuchsia shade in the range. A bright, bold & loud shade. It can brighten up a dull day in no time. It is a cool toned pink, hence make sure your skin tone agrees with the shade. Shade – Scarlet Surge MR 22 I have worn many scarlets on my lips. It is also going to be a memorable one. It is another nice red shade just bit deep. Scarlet Surge is just a bit darker than Red Letter giving a mysterious look to my face. It is another versatile shade in the range. I wish I could grab all of the 30 shades in the range, but then most of them are repetitive. It was really hard to point out a different between Scarlet Surge & red Letter, unless I really took a close look. I opted only for the bold shades and left out nudes or brown shades, since this year is a celebration of bold shades. Fragrance & Texture The lip colors in this range do not contain fragrance neither do they taste weird. This is always a plus point when it comes to lip products, at least for me. Texture of the old Lakme 9 To 5 Lip Color range was wonderful and so is of this re-invented range. It is creamy & moisturizing, giving a smooth finish & intense color. Pigmentation The range presents highly pigmented lip colors. One swipe gives nice color pay off, while another swipe will seal the intensity in the shade. You can still go on for more swipes but the formula won’t feel weird. The intensity is buildable. Longevity Lakme claims to give 12 hours color to the lips with this re-invented 9 To 5 range. I have worn the bold shades for entire days, but at least 2 touch ups are required in the span of 12 hours. Because I can not stay without meals or caffeine which means, object touching my lips & stealing the moisture along with bit of the color every single time. The color did not wipe off entirely or went patchy, but yes, after 4-5 hours, one touch up is necessary. Finish It is matte. It is moisturizing but matte. Some of the colors might accentuate bit of fine lines, so make sure to prepare your lips before hand to wear the matte lipsticks. Summarizing, Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color range is a fabulous range from the brand. It is intense in color, offers 30 shades & classy packaging, under 500 bucks & gives very long stay on lips. Worth every penny. ❤❤❤❤❤ Are you too eyeing upon this range? Or already picked your favorite shades? Leave your comments please, I treasure them…. Love.

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon 03 Candid Coral : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Tue, 23 May 2017 10:10:13 +0000

Since everyone is so raving about these budget-friendly small little crayon lipsticks, I too hunted them down. I found the colors a little repetitive, hence I did not buy them all and rather bought few bold shades. Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon is the newest range from Lakme, which made us, the bloggers, go smitten over these literally-crayon-looking lipsticks under 200 bucks. This range is suitable for college going girls who are always on the lookout for budget-friendly makeup products. Looking for Lakme Absolute Lip Pout Masabalips? Click here Today I am going to review & swatch Candid Coral from Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon range for you. I could have swatched & reviewed them all in one post, but I am a bit short on time & I won’t be able to enjoy it while doing it. Hence I chose the best shade (according to me) from the range. Coral Candid is one of the best coral lipstick for Indian skin tone which I have come across. It has many hues to it, hence it will delight you at many levels. I shall talk about this feature of the shade in detail later. Let’s start with the basics. About Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Lakme presents a range of crayon lipsticks to give you a smooth & matte finish over your lips in vibrant colors. The Lip Crayons are enriched with mineral powders, Olive Oil & Jojoba Oil to moisturize your lips simultaneously. The lip crayons come in 10 vibrant shades so that you can dazzle at every occasion. Price Rs. 185 for 2.2g. Buy at Amazon. Ingredients No ingredient list is provided. Packaging The lip crayon literally looks like a colored crayon that we used to use in our school time. I have used a lot of crayon lipsticks from different brands, but Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon literally depicts being a crayon in packaging. Lipstick range i.e.” Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon” and shade name “03 Candid Coral” is printed on the lip crayon along with some manufacturing information. The crayon has a black cap over its mouth. The packaging is kind of flimsy, according to me. Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Shades Lakme has followed the bold lip trend of the year 2017, hence presented 10 bold shades in the range. So pick one or all of them to suit your mood every single day. Baby Pink, Berry Red, Blushing Pink, Coral Candid, Cinnamon Brown, Mauve Magic, Peach Magnet, Pink Burst, Red Stop, Shocking Pink. Reviewed & Swatched: 7 Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon Shades Shade Description – Coral Candid This is my most favorite from the Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon range. As I mentioned earlier, the shade has many hues. That is the reason despite being coral it will suit every skin tone. The shade has Peach undertones & outburst of Orange, which makes it really exotic. One swipe brings a beautiful peachy coral shade on lips while 2 more swipes give a full-throttle orange. The peach undertones help the orange color to keep it’s calm & do not let it wash out your complexion which might happen with pure Orange shades. Fragrance & Texture The crayon lipstick has a very mild sweet scent, noticeable only if you want to smell it. There is no weird taste. Like SUGAR Lip Crayons has a powdery taste to them. The texture of the lip crayons is impressively creamy. The packaging is flimsy but the product inside is a high-quality lipstick. A bullet is full of color & moisture. I do not need to wear a lip balm beneath this matte lipstick since it is really good in moisturizing my lips on its own. Pigmentation The pigmentation of the lip crayon is good. The first swipe gives opaque finish even to pigmented lips but 2 swipes ensure the true color to show on the lips. When the lipstick is creamy, you anyway can go overboard to soak in some moisture into your lips. Finish Even though the texture is creamy & there is a bit of a shine on to the lips if you look closely, but the overall finish is complete matte. Not the uncomfortable kind of matte, but a beautiful, nourished matte. Longevity Creamy textures do have a tendency to transfer. Even SUGAR Lip Crayons which perform very good in terms of longevity does transfer in the first hour of application. Lakme Enrich Lip Crayons would transfer to the coffee cup if you sip some coffee while wearing it. This lip crayon does not have the ability to survive meals in between, little bit snacking can be done. You need to retouch after having a full-fledged meal which is not of a big con to me as 185 bucks are justified with the quality of the product. Likes Beautiful & bold shades in the range. Creamy & moisturizing formula. Olive Oil & Jojoba Oil, present in the crayon, moisturize your lips. Does not accentuate fine lines. Beautiful matte finish. The shade Candid Coral is suitable for all skin tones. After sharpening, it can be used as a lip liner too. Ships with a dual sharpener. Easily available. Very affordable. So small to fit in the palm of your hand. Dislikes Need to sharpen the lip crayon after 2-3 uses. Few colors are repetitive. Summary If you do not mind retouch after having a meal, it is one of the best affordable lip color range from Lakme. The shades are bold & will flatter Indian skin tones (specially curated for Us 🙂 by Lakme). College going girls if you are bored of Elle 18, try these affordable & better performing lip crayons. The longest I have worn it for 3+ hours without retouch or having a meal. Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon: 4.5/5 Lakme Enrich Lip crayon Candid Coral: 5/5 I hope you liked the review of the currently popular lip crayon. I will be back soon, reviewing all of the Lip Crayons that I have got from the Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon range. Till then, take care. Nisha Malik ❤ Facebook | Instagram

Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick RM13 : Swatches & Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 11:33:11 +0000

Hello Girls, How you been? Friday is getting over and we are headed to the weekend. Just an awesome feeling.. no? Let’s hit the Friday eve with some color. I am going to review Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick for you. This budget friendly lipstick has been around from a while & has comparable performance to Maybelline ColorShow Matte range. It has almost the same formula & pigmentation as that of the colorshow range from Maybelline. Let’s get to know this beauty more closely. About Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick Say hello to creamy yet matte lipsticks from Lakme. The gorgeous shades are here to treat you with love. Lakme came up with matte colors that will suit Indian skin tones. The color is intense yet moisturizing on lips. Fluent the fabulous matte lips. Price Rs. 295 for 4.7gm. Buy here at discounted price. Ingredients No ingredients mentioned. Packaging The lipstick comes packaged in a silver colored metallic card box with Lakme Enrish Matte Lipstick printed on one side. On the other side, Lakme states what is so special about this lipstick. Ingredients list is not provided anywhere. The lipstick bullet too comes in a silver colored body with transparent cap on the bullet. At the bottom of the lipstick shade number is printed. The shade does not have any name which makes it difficult to remember a particular lipstick just by it’s shade no. One weird thing about the packaging is that, it takes a lot of effort to screw-in & screw-out the lipstick out of it’s shell. I mean it’s not that easy like other lipsticks. You really need to put in some effort. May be it’s just this lipstick. Taste, Texture & Smell The texture of this lipstick is creamy smooth. There is bit sheen to the texture. When I apply the lipstick to my lips, the sheen can be noticed on my lips too. Glides easily on lips due to creamy texture. The lipstick does not dry out my lips. The lipstick has the very peculiar old cosmetic smell which we used to have in cheap lipsticks many many years back. I did not like this utterly sweet smell. The lipstick also tastes soapy until, it is wiped off your lips entirely. Shade – RM 13 This is a shade from the Red Color Family. It is a nice bright red, which will suit all skin tones, be it light, medium or dusky. This year 2017, is particularly a year of bold shades as opposed to the previous year where the nude shades rocked the fashion world. This shade is very desirable. The lipstick looks more of maroon, but the shade goes quite red on lips. If I blot and re apply the shade, I can achieve a rust shade out of this lippie. Pigmentation The pigmentation of this lipstick is very good. One swipe gives beautiful intense color while another swipe just perfects the look. The pigmentation is intense because it is a bright shade. Such shades are relatively more pigmentation than the light shades. Finish It is a matte lipstick but do not expect an entirely matte finish out of it. It has bit sheen to it. The sheen is visible on lips too after application. It’s just the creamy texture that hinders the exact matte finish. What I do is, I bot away the sheen with a napkin. That’s how I get the desired matte lips out of this moisturizing lipstick. My Most Favorite Matte Lipstick? – SUGAR Cosmetics Matte AS Hell Longevity This lipstick stays on lips. The sheen is lost after an hour or so, if I do not blot it by myself. The color stays intact for more than 4 -5 hours surviving meals in between. The tint would not go away even after 4-5 hours, until I wipe it off. I wipe it off after 4-5 hours, since, it starts to get little patchy which is not that pleasant to look at. I really admire the staying power of this lipstick. Summary : 4/5 Except the taste & smell, I think the lipstick is quite a grab for the price you pay. It’s moisturizing, pigmented & stays for long on lips. The shades offered by Lakme are very good too. It’s among the best budget buy, if you ask me. I am looking forward to buy the newly launched Argan Oil lipsticks from Lakme, just not able to decide on the shades. Any help? Love.
