Hello everyone!
Hope everyone is fine :) This week seemed a very lengthy one for me, its just Wednesday, urgh! Anyway enough of cribbing, let me show you something to brighten up your Wednesday: a deep pink glossy lipstick named Scarlet! This one is very different from mauve delight, of the same range. Read on to know more.
What is it?A deep pink with slight red undertones
Price and Quantity: 229 INR for 2g
What the company claims:
- Get velvety color that lasts long, stays fresh and keeps lips soft and moisturized
- Gentle, long-lasting lipstick with anti-oxidants and SPF 12 UVA/UVB
- Lasts upto 4 hours
- Transfer resistant
Ingredients: Not mentioned
Packaging: I have already described the packaging details in my review of mauve delight so keeping it short: it comes in a sleek, bright pink packaging which is travel friendly but looks a bit cheap (that's just a personal opinion!! :P)
Shade: The shade is a deep pink with red undertones. It is one of those shades which would look lovely on all skintones. This is not a shade suitable for office but would go well for parties and with ethnic outfits.

Texture/Finish: It is very creamy to apply, melts like butter on the lips but unlike mauve delight which has a semi-matte finish, this one gives a shiny, creamy finish which I love. And unlike mauve delight, this doesn't settle into fine lines either, so yay!
How is it best applied? This does not dry out my lips but still I would advise you to prep your lips before application, just to make sure that it looks good.

Pigmentation: It is very well pigmented, gives an opaque coverage to my pigmented lips in a single swipe! It stains lips too, slightly.
Staying Power: Stays for 4+ hours (yes, it exceeded my expectations and the claim made by the company). But since it is creamy, it might not survive a meal.
