I love the 9 to 5 range of Lakme, there is so much variety that you will find one for every occasion and skin tone. Also the affordable price tag comes as an added advantage.

Price – Rs 450/-

My Experience with Lakme Crease Less Crème Lipstick Mauve Spot:

The lipstick comes in pretty rose gold packaging with an outer paper carton with all the information details. The shade name and number is mentioned at the base but the body is not color coded. The cap is sturdy and shuts with a click so there is no chance of opening when carrying in the makeup pouch. Pretty girly packaging but it would have been awesome if there was a color coded sticker.

The color is pretty pinky peach with super-fine silver shimmers which thankfully do not show up on the lips. On the contrary they impart the glam look to the lip color. It is a very pretty shade for the day wear but can be slightly tricky if you are tanned or someone above nc-42, it might give you a washed away look. The pink undertones give a very simple nude polished look to the face.

The texture of this range is creamy and smooth but not slippery. The super-fine silver shimmers do not feel gritty on the lips at all. The color does not settle on the lips and gives an even smooth finished look. One swipe will not cover pigmented lips; you have to build up on the pigmentation if you wish to fully cover the lips. Due to the shade, it can be worn as a sheer wash of color on the lips as well.

The staying power is not that impressive, mostly because the lipstick is so creamy that it transfers to cup/mugs, spoons etc. With mini meals or drinks the staying power would be 2-3 hours after which it would start fading evenly. I do not mind touching up the lip color, but if you are someone who prefer long staying lipsticks, this one is not for you.

The only glitch that I have with this lip color is that the silver shimmers stay after the color vanishes. It is difficult to take the shimmers off if they start moving all over the face, so, I tend to wipe off the remaining after a meal and apply fresh. This takes care of the shimmer transfer to a certain extent.
