I got married 5 months ago. Among the various shopping expeditions that started about 6 months prior to the wedding was the “find for the perfect lipstick for the wedding and reception.” I do not trust a beautician to find my perfect colour, so it started! I purchased lipsticks from a lot of brands – Maybelline, Chambor, Faces, but this was what finally made me end my quest for my “reception lip colour.”
Product Description:
Lakmé 9 to 5 brings you a range of 15 shades that sit on your lips all day long. Enriched with Vitamin E; it conditions your lips and softens them with wheat germ oil. So, perk those soft, smooth lips with a touch of matte.
Price:
Rs. 400
My Experience with Lakme 9 to 5 Lipstick in Magenta Mind:
I am a sucker for matte lipsticks. I never buy glossy or shiny ones. I must admit, this is one of the best matte formula available. It is a creamy matte lipstick – creamy feel and matte look; what better could we ask for!
It is creamy and glides on smoothly, doesn’t leave any chunks of the lipstick on your lips or show off the lip creases like usual matte lipsticks, but in close-up photos like the lip swatch (not in the mirror though), I can see slight chunks on my lips.
It is a bright happy pink. It brightens up your face. Magenta is actually a purplish-red color but this is an orangey pink. The 9 to 5 range is targeted at the office goers and this is perfect as an office wear as well.
It is good as claimed by Lakme (maybe not 9 to 5, but good nevertheless), I had applied this at around 4 pm on my reception day and didn’t need to re-apply it until after the dinner in spite of all the continuous greeting and smiling.
It has an amazing matte feel. There is no glitter or shiny element. It didn’t dry out my lips at all like the usual matte lipsticks do.
The packaging is a copper coloured shiny thinner-than-normal-lipsticks retractable tube.
Pros of Lakme 9 to 5 Lipstick in Magenta Mind:
- Beautiful bright pink.
- Creamy texture that glides smoothly.
- Has got wheat germ oil and vitamin E which don’t dry lips at all.
- Stays for a decent 5-6 hours.
- Proper matte look without any shine.
- Cheap and easily available.
Cons of Lakme 9 to 5 Lipstick in Magenta Mind:
- Nothing actually. It maybe drying for people with extremely dry lips.
