NEW LAKME ABSOLUTE ARGAN OIL SERUM FOUNDATION & LUXE MATTE LIPSTICK REVIEW

05:52:00

Hello beauties,

These weekend I have something exciting to talk about. Recently LAKME introduced NEW ARGAN OIL RANGE OF MAKEUP and I am going to review some of the products from this range. The range comprises of LAKME ABSOLUTE LUXE MATTE LIPSTICKS, ARGAIN OIL SERUM, ARGAN OIL GEL CREME & ARGAN OIL IN SERUM FOUNDATION.

As you all know I am a foundation girl I love trying new formulas and it was much expected that I pick up the New argan oil serum foundation with spf 45.

I am already in love with this product despite of so limited shades I picked up IVORY CREAM which was for fair skin tone having warm to neutral undertones. It was the best I could choose for my skin tone. Now when I heard a argan oil serum I was pretty sure this is going to be really fun using on everyday basis. Also it contains spf 45 which means you don’t have to wear any additional sunscreens. This foundation is perfect for normal to combination skin. It moisturizes my skin at the same time gets quickly absorbed into skin not making it too oily or cakey.

It perfectly blends without having to use any moisturizer. This foundation stays well for 4-5 hrs it starts wearing off near my nose area. That’s because I have a oily t zone. When I use it with a primer it stays for 7-8 hrs may be just a touch up with a compact on my tzone area and I am good to go for more 7hrs. Now this foundation makes my skin look brighter and it just gives me natural finish which means neither matte not glossy.

It adds radiance to my skin doesn’t clog my pores. Has medium coverage which helps to cover even dark spots to some extent. It comes in a golden bottle packaging with a dropper. So I just take a dropper and directly put some drops on my face later blend it with a flat kabuki brush. I loved the formula and texture is almost like a serum first and when you start blending it looks more creamy. Once it sets in totally looks fine. My skin looks more hydrated and fresh.

It keeps my skin shine free while adding a healthy glow to skin.

Lakme always comes up with very limited shade range so you can really have to try your luck for getting a proper shade.

Coming to the LAKME ABSOLUTE LUXE MATTE LIPSTICKS WITH ARGAN OIL so I could see these gold slim lipstick tubes which looks really attractive to me and totally luxe. There were 10 shades in this range I choose to try two of them ROUGE LOVE & ROSY LIPS. I was so happy using the foundation that my expectations with this lipsticks were too high. Well it wasn’t a complete disappointment but it just didn’t worked for me.

I felt the formula of this lipsticks were bit waxy and less of creamy mattes. I was thinking of more luxurious formula.

I really had to drag them to give a proper application. Also the formula was bit drying on my lips. If you have dry lips you probably won't like the texture of these lipsticks.

They are of complete matte finish and are almost transfer proof. It starts fading away from the center of my lips. The formula is buildable but it doesn’t give complete coverage in 1 swipe. Staying power for this lipsticks is 4-5hrs. They are not so highly pigmented. I really love when lipsticks are bold and fully loaded with pigments.

I felt the previous range of argan oil lipsticks were far more better. The price is 800/-which I think is not worth spending on it.

ROSY LIPS Soft muted pink for every type of skin tone.

ROUGE LOVE Its a bright bold pink having warm tones. It brightens up any complexion. Its my personal favorite shade in the range.

13:28:00

Hello gals,

My colorbar fever is still on …and now I have got these lipsticks too. So on my previous posts it was all about NEW COLORBAR EYESHADOWS GLITTERS & DUO AFFAIR BLUSH & now its time for my favourite part the NEWLY RAIN MATTE LIPSTICKS AND XPOSED DUO LIPSTICK.

I think you all already know how obsessed I am for lipsticks. Keep reading to know more about this amazing Rain Mattes and Xposed duo lipstick.

Xposed duo lipsticks comes In a very limited shade options. There are 4 shades available I picked up Scotch Mist which is a mauvy pink everyday kinda shade. I am already obsessing over this shade. As its named duo it comes in a double packaging having lipstick on one side and other side having a gloss. The whole packaging is in a dull matte gold which looks fabulous.

It doesn’t feel like a drugstore brand coming up with such amazing packaging and formulas. The shades are to die for. The formula is soft & creamy in application. The texture is quite smooth giving even and effortless application. it doesn’t contain fragrance. It gives semi matte finish which is very comfortable to wear for long hours. The staying power of this lipstick is 4-5 hrs. It does transfer and you need touch ups. The shade I have choose doesn’t stain my lips and comes off easily without making my lips dry or parched. The formula is quite hydrating to my lips. you can also get a glossy look by applying clear coat of gloss which is on other side of lipstick. The gloss is non sticky and feels light when applied over lipcolor. This gloss has a doe foot applicator for easy application

Overall recommended it’s a duo combo you get a gloss and matte lips with just one lipstick. If you want a wet lip look this ultra vinyl will be easy to use. It also contains vitamin E which nourishes and protects lips. This shade has been my current obsession after the L'OREAL Mont Blanc shade.

PRICE 900/-INR
RATING A

FEEL THE MATTE LIPSTICKS so these colorful lipstick packaging attracted me the most. I cant explain the feel of this packaging. I have never seen such insanely beautiful packaging of lipsticks. The lipsticks are color coded with their outer packaging it has this water droplets all over the tube. The feel is rich and sturdy can be carried for travelling too. All lipsticks come in a cardboard color coded boxes. They are available in 8 shades at affordable price 650/-INR. The shades I picked up is DAMP & SHOWER.

Shower is beautiful purplish pink suitable for gals who love bold lips for rainy season.

Damp is a muted rose color which can be used on everyday look.

The formula is non drying it contains 5 essential oils which helps to stay lips hydrated and moisturized for longer time. These are soft and creamy in texture also they give satin matte finish. It doesn’t give complete matte finish due to its moisturizing formula. The colors are bright and bold on lips. Color pay off is excellent. It gives a complete bold coverage on one swipe. The color is buildable. I usually apply one coat and dab it with tissue and then I go for second coat so the lipstick transfer less and stay for long hrs. The formula holds pretty well on lips and the staying power is for 6 hrs. It fades away leaving behind a stain. The shades are a rich and super saturated with pigments. It doesn’t contain any fragrance. The formula doesn’t smudge it doesn’t settle into fine lines. There is no bleeding however if you feel little smudging on lip lines you can use a lip pencil for more defined look.

Overall recommended loved the packaging the shades and formula although the formula could be more matte and less moisturizing. They are really good for dry lips and those who like easy to go comfort matte lipsticks. It’s like a value for money.

LAKME 9TO5 WEIGHTLESS MOUSSE LIP AND CHEEK COLOR REVIEW SWATCHES

08:53:00

Hello Lovelies,

The moment I heard Lakme is launching matte lip creams I was super excited and thrilled to try them out. NEW WEIGHTLESS MOUSSE LIP AND CHEEK COLOR comes in 10 different shades and Its a part of lakme 9to5 range. This reminds me much of Nyx Soft Matte lip cream and my obsession over it. Well girls now you have matte lip creams by LAKME. I was just hoping they have good shade range. I got them online without checking out any swatches. But when it arrived and I tried out I was just so amazed I think this is one of the best lakme lip product. Now they come in pink opaque tube and a rose gold glossy cap. I think they could have made the packaging more attractive. It has a slant doe foot applicator almost like a pear shaped. It gives the most comfortable and easy application. There are 10 shades each available for INR 575/- which is quite affordable.

I picked up 3 beautiful shades BLUSH VELVET, ROSE TOUCH & PLUM FEATHER.

All of the shades have a autumn feel to it. So if you are looking for matte lip creams in Indian version then you exactly know how to grab them. The formula is soft creamy and super light in texture. Its not at all streaky on application. It feels air light when applied on lips. You can comfortably wear them from 9 to 5. The shades go on almost every skin tones. You can also use them on cheeks with a finger or stippling brush. Just lightly blends into skin while dabbing with a finger. When applied on lips it gives me smooth velvety finish and almost turns to soft matte lip color in few seconds. Its hydrating to some extent so its ok to not put any lip balms. They are very less transferrable and stays on for 7-8 hrs with slight touch ups. The formula is completely non drying. I first thought it would stay like a semi matte lipstick but it almost goes to powder matte without having to feel dry. Even on cheeks it gives a tinted soft color you just need one dot as Its strongly pigmented. It gives complete coverage on lips too. Doesn’t accentuate fine lines. It also doesn’t bleed or smudge. It doesn't have any shimmer. Has a very light fragrance like a some cupcakes. Blush too stays for 6-7 hrs which is just amazing.

Overall recommended. I totally didn't expected it to have such amazing formula and texture. They are quite thicker when compared to nyx soft matte lip creams. I feel so happy that lakme finally coming up with matte lip creams. In winter I don't prefer powder blushes rather I go for something which gives my cheeks a tint of rose pink color and this mousse are perfect for it.
