Lakme Sheer Dual Definition Lipcolor and Liner in Berry Review By Aarthi

Lakme Sheer Dual Definition Lipcolor and Liner in Berry Review - By Aarthi Entry # 2

I think one of my very first lipsticks would be this Lakme Sheer Dual Lipcolor and Liner in Berry. Those days I have no idea about the different shades available or the shades that would suit me. I would just randomly buy something or just trust the SA’s words and buy a lipstick or be it any other makeup product. I think many of us were like this !! When I think about those funny days I just giggle within myself. Me and my sister used to exchange our makeup products [once we get bored of it]and I think this lipstick was passed on to me during one such exchange.

There is 1.2g of the lipstick and 0.25g of the liner. The lipstick is sheer and I have swiped it 4-5 times to show you the color.

The lipstick and liner match perfectly and I would call the shade a good plum color. The name of the shade is Berry. When the lipstick/lipcolor is worn all alone it just looks like a gloss and it fades pretty quickly. So I use the liner as a base and then use the lipstick and the color shows well along with the glossy shine on my lips. I didn’t have a berry/plum shade in my lipstick collection so I was super glad to find this lipcolor.

I am not aware of the price as it is not mentioned in the packaging nor google helped me in finding the cost !!

Pros

·         Lipcolor is sheer initially and color can be built with 4-5 swipes.

·         Both liner and lipcolor in one single product.

·         Easy and convenient during travel.

·         Lip pencil works as a good base.

·         Both the lipcolor and lip pencil are twist up retractable ones. I am loving it completely. No worries even if I twist up a lot of product.

·         No fragrance to it.

Cons

·         I would like to know the manufactured or the expiry date as it is not mentioned in the pencil I am not too happy using it.

·         The lipcolor fades away pretty quickly. It hardly stays for 2 hrs when used without any base.

Rating – 3.5/5

Would I Repurchase – Well Yes if it is still available in the market. I could neither find it online nor in the stores now.

Have any of used or seen this product before? Do let me know so that I can get a rough idea of what the manufacturing date could be !! If at all I get the answer I would happily use this product or just throw it away [if it has crossed the expiry date].

Thanks a lot Aarthi for this lovely post :)

Lakme -True Wear Nail Color - Review - Classics 9 JJ Vallaya

Since i have been collecting lota nalipolishes these days for trying out new nail designs...I laid my hands on few Lakme True Wear Nali Colors...
The one i am going to review today is from the Bridal Collection(Correct me if i am wrong)
Lakme has tied up with various top notch desigers to come up with beautiful colors

One such designer is JJ Vallaya

Price : Rs.90 for 9ml

So today i will review Classics 9 JJ Vallaya
This shade has jewel tone..that is it has pink,silver,coral shimmers.
This basically a coral shade which is on the darker side with pink and more of brown undertones.


Basically the shade is from the classics so you can wear it for some functions, festiv seasons


It did notleave any kind of streaks and once dried the finish was very smopth.but It chipped off by next day evening which i din't like

But i would say its a good shade and its suitable for all complexions ..so we can make it chip proof by applying top coat
