Lakme 9 to 5 Scarlet Drill Lipstick Review

Lakme 9 to 5 Scarlet Drill Lipstick Review

Hello IMBB Beauties,

Firstly, I apologize for being away from IMBB, though I was not actively writing or commenting, but I always checked the posts, but I am back and I am back with my favorite, review of a lipstick. As you all will have known by now that Lakme has an offer going on which is slightly confusing but I will try to put it straight for you all. You have to return one lipstick (any brand) and you will get Rs. 50/- off on purchase of 2 Lakme Enrich lipsticks or Rs. 100/-off on purchase of 3 Lakme Enrich lipsticks. You can opt for the Rs. 100/- off on purchase of one Enrich Lipstick and one 9 to 5/absolute range lipstick.  Hope that makes the scenario clear. Well, it took the lady at the counter flat 15 minutes to explain the offer.

Packaging:

Lakme Scarlet Drill belongs to the new packaging of the 9 to 5 range from Lakme. It comes in a shining pinkish metallic outer cover which shuts with a click. There is Lakme 9 to 5 printed on the body. The shade name and number is mentioned at the bottom with a sticker. There is an outer paper carton which has other details about the brand as usual.

Finish:

Lakme Scarlet Drill comes in moisture matte finish. It does not dry out the lips on one hand; on the other it does not have the creamy shine. For the summers, I prefer matte lipsticks and this is an addition to my stash of matte finish lipsticks.

Pigmentation:

Pigmentation is very nice. You can build on the color if you wish to; though building on matte lipsticks make my lips look cakey.

Staying Power:

It stays on for a pretty long time, 4-5 hours depending on the food you intake. This has survived small meals and tea/coffee on me. It might not survive a full meal though. It does not stain the lips at all.

My Experience with Lakme 9 to 5 Scarlet Drill Lipstick:

I must admit that I am a make-up hoarder and the summers have given me the push to add matte lipsticks to my stash. Also, this Lakme offer was spotted pretty late by me and hence I rushed to the store with a friend. I have a very sensitive nose and I cannot stand the smell of the Enrich range. So, I opted for the 9 to 5 range which had the added benefit of being matte in texture.

The shade is an orange red with a hint of pink to it. It took me 10 minutes to write the previous statement, which very well describes how unique the color is. Being yellow toned,  I always prefer orange/coral over pink, but when I get the perfect mix, it becomes an instant love. You can refer to the swatches for better understanding.
