Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick – 265 Review

Lakme+Enrich+Satin+Lipstick+265+Review

This is my second time writing for IMBB, really excited. Okay, so Halloween just went by and I was looking for a darker lipstick shade to put together my look. I have an aunt who wears really dark lipsticks even though she is snow white (super fair) and it looks quite scary sometimes, so when I was over at her place I asked her to show me a few of her lipsticks and that’s when I came across this one. I really like this shade and I can’t believe people don’t really like it. It’s not very versatile, I agree but it’s such a deep colour.  So, when I went with my aunt and mom for shopping, I picked up this shade.  Lakme lipsticks are not my favourite because they really tend to dry out on my dry lips.  It does not look pretty, but since I was looking for a dark shade, this was my only choice.  I have to say there aren’t many dark and super pigmented lipsticks. Also, while recently surfing the web, I came across a picture of Megan Fox wearing a deep plum colour shade with minimal makeup and it looked real good on her and I thought I can totally rock this look.

Rs. 225

My Experience with Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick – 265:

The shade is a deep plum tending towards a very dark taupe colour verging on purple I would say.  It’s like the shade you get when you mix red and blue.  The shade is not matte. It has a good sheen to it in the end which I like, but I will say that the shade is difficult to carry off.  When lightly applied, it’s really beautiful.  For light application, I tone it down using a tissue since its heavily pigmented; this works for me. Like the standard Lakme lipsticks, it glides on really well and since it’s so pigmented, you really don’t need to use a brush. I also find that if you put lip balm, you have to wait for it to get absorbed and then put this on because the lip balm tends to rub off on the lipstick and mix with it during application. It feels heavy on the lips but if you are a regular Lakme user, you should be fine.  It’s nicely pigmented.

Like all Lakme lipsticks that I have used, it tends to dry out the lips and makes them darker.  Also, finding a lip liner for this is quite a task, and I just gave up in the end. I should also mention that the first time that I had applied this lipstick, I had an allergic reaction, but that was only the first time, it never happened again and since I have used the Lakme lipsticks from the same range without ever breaking into an allergic reaction, I am guessing that maybe it was a bad batch or something.

The lipstick has vitamin E, but I don’t think it has a lot of it because I know for a fact that vitamin E helps lips stay hydrated and this lipstick does not.  I feel that this lipstick is really light on the pocket for the amount of colour delivery it does.  It comes in the normal brown packaging.

Pros of Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick – 265:

  • The lipstick is highly pigmented, so high that you can only tone it down, not build it up.
  • Glides on easily, easy to apply even without the lip brush.
  • It lasts long, like for 3 hours.  Having said that, its only because of the highly pigmented colour.
  • It fills in your crease.
  • Has a beautiful sheen to it, no lip gloss required.
  • For the price it comes at, you get a really good amount, affordable.
  • Nice texture.
  • Smells fruity and nice.

Cons of Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick – 265:

  • Without lip balm, it will dry out lips, it does not moisturize lips.
  • It feels heavy on lips.
  • Transfers heavily.
  • It makes lips darker.
  • No SPF.
  • Not a fan of the packaging.

IMBB Rating:

2.5/5

Would I Repurchase Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick – 265?

No, I wouldn’t, I feel that the other ranges of Lakme are better.
