Hello
everyone!!
I
think I would be the last person to do a review on this product. But this
product has got my attention for so many reasons so I thought I should let you
guys know my opinion. Because I love products that are affordable and has got
many colour variants. This lipstick
comes in 27 different shades from different family of colours, red, purple,
orange, browns, pinks.
I
bought 4 different shades: red rush, choco-latte, wine festival, coffee break.
Packaging:
The
lipstick comes in black shiny plastic packaging. The plastic is kind of cheap
but for the price we can’t expect more. The lipstick cap can crack easily.
These lipsticks have a colour band in the center. The colour band represents
the colour family. The colour shade and number is given at the bottom of the
packaging. The ingredient list and name of the range are printed on the outer
wrapper. The details are to be discard along with the wrapper when the wrapper
cover is removed.
Price:
The lipstick is priced at Rs 299 for 3.9 gram of product.
Texture
and pigmentation:
This
lipstick is creamy in texture and has good pigmentation. It stays very light on
the lips and moisturizes the lips without a lip balm underneath. The texture is
smooth for application. The lipstick is creamy and looks glossy on lips. To get
the actual pigmentation on the lipstick 2-3 swipes is enough.
Staying
power:
The
lipstick stays for about 3 to 4 hours and needs a touch up for every 3 hours.
It tends to fade away from the center after 3 hours.
Shade
description:
RED
RUSH: This is a red shade with much of orange undertone. This shade is highly
pigmented. I liked single swipe of the lipstick. Two swipes would give better colour pay off.
CHOCOLATTE: The name of the shade is misleading actually. This shade is more of a pink than brown. It has got very little brown and blue
undertone and it is a neutral shade for medium skin tone and it looks very
pretty on the lips. this shade is my favourite shade in the range.
WINE
FESTIVAL: It is a deep wine shade. This is also a party/traditional shade and
suits every skin tone. This is one of my favorite fall shade as well.
COFFEE BREAK: This shade sticks to its name. It is a dark brown shade (chocolate brown) with little blue undertone. It is a party/traditional shade and it would suit all the skin tone.
