My take on Lakme 9 to 5 Beige Post Matte  Lip Color :

Packaging:  The packaging is gorgeous. Any girl would get wooed by the rose-gold tube that comes with an outer carton which I found satisfying. The cap is sturdy and shuts with a satisfying click, can be tossed into handbags without worries. The shade name is written at the bottom. I wish there was a color code thing that would’ve been beneficial since I have many of these lippies and I need to search.

Shade: Beige post is a very misleading name since it is not exactly beige. It is a peachy-nude lipstick loaded with shimmers. The shimmers are not that coarse but they are garish on lips. This shade does not wash me out, but it does not brighten my face also at the same time. This peachy shade is something that goes well with heavy eye makeup. But I doubt that it won’t flatter dusky beauties.

Pigmentation and texture: The pigmentation is very poor; the shimmers hinder color to show up. The texture is nonetheless smooth but not creamy. It glides on lips with ease, but exfoliation is a must because it settles into lines and highlights dry flakes. I am not a big fan of the formula since I don’t quite get it. It sure is a matte lippie but at the same time it is so much loaded with shimmers. It glides smoothly, but is not creamy. Pigmentation is really bad, even with multiple swipes I hardly get any color except the shimmers. It can’t be layered or built up since it tends to look cakey and uneven.

Staying power: This has a strange cosmetic-y fragrance that I am not a big fan of. It hardly stays on my lips; it tends to crease if lips are pursed and settle in the corners. It hardly survives a meal or a drink and it does transfer, but not to a large extent. Lasting power is around a poor 1.5 hours, without talking or eating! When I call it a day I can see the shimmers all over my face, hands everywhere! This lipstick is a big fail!

Would I recommend/re-purchase Lakme 9 to 5 Beige Post Matte Lip Color ?
NO! I was just attracted for the ‘discount’ offered. This can be skipped without a thought but there are other lovely shades in the matte as well as the ceaseless range.
Ciao.
