Recently Lakme launched its first lip-and-cheek color with a weightless mousse texture and long-stay claim. While a few brands in India like The Body Shop and even Lakme itself do have or had lip-and-cheek tints, a proper lip-and-cheek color is something quite new as a product in India. So let us find out how well the dual-functional Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color works out...
Haul posts have always been a sort of jinx for me. Whenever I put them up on the blog, I normally tend to forget to review them. Naturally, I had my doubts but then I published it anyway.
I never thought I would click a selfie in my entire life. I am a self-conscious person and the camera is not exactly my best friend. Posing for pictures is definitely not my forte.
Anyway, this is my very first FOTD on the blog. If you have been reading my blog from before, you would know that I have never posted lip swatches or face pictures ever. I was just not comfortable doing it on the blog. But as they say - Never say NEVER. Moreover, a blogger with no face is hardly an appealing entity in the virtual world. So here I am, slowly getting the hang of a beauty blogger :)
Lakme's Lip Pouts or Matte Lip Tints.... call them whatever you want.... but they sure have some really vibrant lip colors in the range that are true-blue mattes. They are instant mood-lifters and can make you look alive even when you are feeling dull and dead. I have already reviewed the Raving Red on the blog and today I am reviewing another gorgeous color, 'Magenta Magic'....
Looks like the chubby crayon trend is here to stay! I remember when I was in college, my mom and me would go these little 'fancy stores' where they would have a variety of beauty and makeup stuff. Being not that brand-conscious those days, I would find these stick-type lipsticks in some corner of the shop belonging to some unknown, imported brand. My mom herself loves cosmetics and would buy them from me. And they actually used to turn out good and stay long enough. They were not as chubby as the ones now, though.
By the way, Lakme calls this a 'lip pout' in their official press release. But I did not find any such 'pout' written on the packaging anywhere. It just says 'Lip Tint Matte'. Am I missing something?? Anyway, I have both the words in the review title to avoid confusion.
I am a matte-lip person and usually get attracted to them, like bees to honey. This lipstick belongs to the Office Stylist range of Lakme's 9 to 5 lipsticks. That means, all the colors are office-appropriate, subtle and wearable. If you do not like bold, deep, dark colors, then this range is perfect for you. Let us find out more about this particular lipstick for now...
After ruling the Indian kohl world for nearly a year now, Maybelline Colossal Kajal is witnessing a new competitor in the form of Lakme Eyeconic Kajal. A similar wave has hit upon the makeup market with most online and offline stores declaring a 'Sold-Out' on the latest Lakme eyeconic kajal. As for me, the Colossal has been and continues to be a favourite since an entire year. Too much of a good thing can sometimes get very uninteresting. So if you think that my comparison between these two kohl pencils is going to be biased, then you are mistaken. For as much as I still love my Colossal, I am also eagerly waiting for an another brand that can replace it. You see, I am starting to get a little bored using the same kohl for over a year now. The Colossal is still great but it is time now for a change. Let us see if the Eyeconic can meet the high standards set up by my Colossal or if it actually fares better....
