Hey people..
I am pretty excited about writing this post. That's because this is my first ever lakme enrich lipstick. I know that this is the basic lipstick and may be the first lipstick that you girls started off with. But for me, I took so long to get one(blame on colorbar and other brands for distracting me ).
And another reason on why I am excited is because this is a RED lipstick.
I could see myself changing my taste in lipsticks these days. I am loving the RED color so much! So much that I already got 4 lipsticks in the same red family. I will be reviewing them pretty soon.
After so much of dilemma, I got this shade 358.
What the website says about this:
The package:
I don't understand why I'm writing this particular section. I know everyone has this lipstick and the package is so boring. It is a sturdy magenta/maroon/deep plum plastic bullet with a golden rim and the shade number written at the bottom.
The Shade and My Experience:
This particular shade is from the red family the lakme has created a while ago. It is a bright red shade not neon though.It falls more into the tomato red than to the normal RED.
The best thing about this lipstick shade is it instantly brightens up my face. This shade is not a gaudy one which screams for attention but a muted red.
I was taken aback with the strong smell it possess(okay, I hated it).The lipstick is creamy and just glides on the lips.The creamy consistency of this lipstick makes it bleed badly. You may have to use a lip liner or a concealer around the lips.
It doesn't have long staying power. It stays on for not more than 3 hours. But once it's gone, it leaves a beautiful tint on lips which I looved.
For work, I wear this lipstick,wipe it off. Apply a lipbalm and tadaa..looks super nice.
