The shade is a deep blue-based pink with hints of red, which would go well with all skintones. There are many lipsticks which come close to this in terms of shade but I cannot recall any exact dupes of the shade. I loved the shade, the fragrance on the other hand wasn’t pleasant and I hate it. It has a Benadryl+bubblegum kind of scent which I cannot tolerate. The scent stays for a while too and it is the only factor which is stopping me from using this lipstick.

Texture/Finish/Pigmentation:The texture is quite creamy and it applies smoothly. The finish is neither matte nor too creamy and is perfect for daywear. It is not a hydrating lipstick, neither does it dry out my lips. After a few hours I reach for my lipbalm so it’s better to moisturize the lips before application. It is highly pigmented and two swipes is more than enough to cover my pigmented lips.

The glossiness stays for around 2 hours (if you don’t have a snack in-between) and then it fades and leaves a pinkish-red stain which stays for about an hour or two. The staying power is not great but for 250 INR I can’t demand much.

Rating: 4/5 Final Word: If you don't have a sensitive nose like me or have tried Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks before and are ok with the fragrance then grab it! This lipstick has everything going for it, except the scent and staying power.
