Lakme cosmetics are coming as a pure surprise with a whole bunch of new launches. I was at a mall, my second home, last weekend and I finally saw the new 9 to 5 lipstick range. The metallic rose gold packaging is perfect to fall in love with. They look absolutely beautiful and classy!
Quick Review
The lipsticks felt really smooth in texture while swatching and yes since they are matte based so it comes with a little dry texture just like Maybelline ten hours lipsticks. Actually most of the matte based lipsticks are like that, but what works the best is a lip balm underneath the lipstick. Pigmentation is good. One (or two for some maximum) swipe is enough to give you coverage. Some shades do have shimmer, not the in your face kind, just fine shimmer (although I think shimmer was not necessary in a matte lipstick). The shades are mostly soft and very wearable. Priced at Rs. 400 the lipsticks are available in 15 different shades. And they stay for close to 5-6 hours on.
What works for Ms Guilty- The rich color, smooth texture and an extensive range of shades
What doesn't work Ms Guilty- Shimmer, I am personally not a fan of shimmer lipsticks, and a bit dry but that can be tackled with a lip balm!
