lakme 9 to 5 crease-less lipstick in "CP9 Brick Lead "

My never ending search for a perfect pink everyday lippy helps me explore various products. I like 9 to 5 range of Lakme, especially the lipsticks, but not a fan of its' foundation though. The reasons are price and packaging (lovely shade of rose gold).

The 9 to 5 lipstick (older one) was good for me but during winters or when I suffered dry lips, it didn't quite worked for me. Then when these 'crease-less' lipsticks were launched I decided to give it a try.

Although to my dismay, the product does not give a crease-less finish to the lips :( Also I noticed the color faded away too soon as compared to the older version of 9 to 5 lipsticks. Layering of product is required if you want a rich and opaque color.

 

Single Swatch

 It doesn't have any kind of remarkable smell but I liked the color it gave (for a small time).

Price : 450 INR

Rating : 2 / 5 (2 for color and packaging only)

Recommendation : Not meant for dry lips even though it says 'crease-less' also not for pigmented lips as it doesn't not give much color. There a whole lot of variety of shades and also the price is not much expensive.

Lakme Enrich Satins 138 Review

Remember the Lakme Enrich Satins lipstick I ordered from Jabong, let's have a look at it.

Firstly, when I saw this earlier, some 5 years ago, the tube was not so appealing and quite aunty types. But now they have gone matt with the tube. Good for it.

Shade is 138, the colour is 'deep wine' with shimmer on it. I didn't find it moisturizing enough and may not be good to wear when my lips are dry.

I applied just one swipe and it covered my pigmented lips well but it got worn out from the inside of my lips after a meal only :( otherwise it lasted for 3 hours.

This is just one swatch

I liked the smell of it, it's nothing fruity. It fades away after a few minutes of application.

I don't know what is it, but since childhood I've loved the smell of lipsticks that smell nothing like fruits. Seriously, I used to sniff my mom's and aunt's lipsticks a lot. (Should I be worried about that?)

Providing that it costed me only 220 rupees, this isn't a bad buy.

In a nutshell:

Coverage: 3/5

Smell: 3/5 (you know why)

Longevity: 2.5/5

Anything special: Nopes

Frankly, I think purchasing cosmetics online isn't a good idea as the colour may vary in photos and in real. Moreoever, the product might get damaged, though they always get them replaced but isn't that a headache, sending it back and again waiting for the product to arrive. Phew! Too much for me. What do you think?
