Hello IMBBians!

My Experience with Lakme Absolute Illuminating Lip Shimmer – Orange Glitz:

packaging
Packaging: The illuminating lip shimmer comes in a classy black cardboard box with all the details and the actual lipstick comes in a sleek black plastic packaging. It looks so glamorous. I really like this packaging. The cap locks with a click, so it is easy to carry around also.
shade
Shade and pigmentation: ‘Orange glitz’ is a bright orange shade. It looks so bold on lips. It will suit almost all skintones I guess. The lipstick contains lots of noticeable gold shimmers and the shimmer makes it illuminating. This particular shade is super pigmented. One swipe can build up nice color intensity. It needs max two swipes for the best color, because multiple swipes make it bolder. It brings a bright glow to face. This is such a great party color.
bullet
Texture and quality: It has a soft creamy texture which glides like a dream. It swipes evenly and smoothly on lips and never looks patchy even with multiple layers. It’s super shiny and looks so glamorous. I think it will look amazing on brides. It provides soft moisturized lips and never highlights dry patches. In fact it feels light on lips. Shimmers never mess around lips. The color does transfer but after a full cup of coffee the color still looks perfect on lips. It doesn’t crease or settle down in fine lines. I really love its texture and quality. But the smell! It is quite overpowering for me. That’s a personal choice obviously. But I totally hate this smell.
lipstick
Staying power: It stays for around 6 hours with a meal. I am really impressed with the staying power. Basically all the creamy lip colors don’t stay long but this one can. Yes it fades after a meal, but this particular shade is very bright and super pigmented so it still looks nice.
swatch
Overall I really like this new illuminating concept. It is definitely not for matte lovers and also many don’t like shimmery lip colors. I am also like that, but still I must say I love this lip color. Shimmer looks quite different and it is not glossy shimmery; it is more like velvety shimmery lip color which rocks your look.

Will I Repurchase/Recommend Lakme Absolute Illuminating Lip Shimmer – Orange Glitz?
I am a totally matte lip lover and I had never tried this kind of shiny shimmery lip shade. But I have included this in my summer favorite shade list. If you love shimmery, shiny lip color, then just grab this one. And matte lovers can also try some light shade for a different look.

  1. What an awesomely bright color! This is sooo summery…and the lip swatches…I won’t say anything now 😛
    Just tell me one thing, how do you apply the lipcolor so perfectly every time? 😀

    1. Thank you Soo much Monika 🙂 It’s very simple steps. I usually not use lip liner only steady hand application makes it perfect. I just like to draw a neat line on upper lip with the lipstick then I prefer to apply the rest part.

  2. I am not at all a fan of shimmers but your swatches have made this lipstick look like bomb dot com! Perfect review and pics, Chayanti. Great work!

  3. OMG Chayanti, the color and your swatches ooh wooh orange *drooling* , you completely sold it 😀 Wonder what is the magic behind your picture perfect lip swatches ! <3 *applause*

    1. He he. Thank you Rama 🙂 This color is really amazing.. I actually use a mirror to click the perfect pictures 🙂
