Incolor Matte Me Lip Cream in 405: Review, Price, Swatches, LOTD, FOTD

16.2.16 8 Comments
It won't be an exaggeration to say that the matte lip trend has taken the fashion world by a storm. The social media,specifically Pinterest and Instagram is flooded by it and we,over here, are floored by it!!
In one of my previous posts I reviewed the Incolor Matte Lip Cream in 407 which was a good dupe of Sleek matte lip creams and my inbox was overwhelmed with the where's and the how much's and the how can I's..
Here I am with another shade of the same product!!! 


Product Description:
I couldn't find the product or website online.

Ingredients:
Missing!!!

Price vs Quantity:
INR 195/- (at a local store) and INR 320/- (online) ;) :P


Packaging:

Like I said,the packaging is identical to the Sleek matte me lip creams. The container is sharp edged squarish which gives a neat look. The cap is matte black and non flimsy.I'm not too impressed with the wand though,its too straight.A little doe-foot is always more convenient.

Shade:405


Interesting!!!!
The colour is a deeper Radiant Orchid (Pantone colour of the year 2014) Its a bright,cool-toned fuschia purple and surprisingly despite the brightness,its easier to carry (thank the purple,fuschia alone wouldn't have been this BEAUTIFUL) The shade would suit all skin tones..light,medium,dark..equally!!

The shade is pretty close if not dupe of Sleek Fandango Purple. Also it is a close close dupe of Sugar Cosmetics Smudge Me Not liquid lipstick in Wine and Shine.
You can check the swatches here:
 

Pigmentation:
Its super pigmented and gives a good coverage in the first swipe itself.Infact it is so pigmented that it requires a hell lot of precision while applying coz if you go wrong wiping it off would be a task. 

Staying Power:Till you have a cotton dipped in makeup remover in your hands...like literally! It just won't budge.I really like that coz with this formula touch ups are a distant dream,you will have to wipe it all out and reapply otherwise. So I'm happy it stays till the time you would probably want it to.

Texture: 
Being this kind of super matte,the formula doesn't feel very comfortable. It gives me a oh-I-have-something-on-my lips kinda feel. Or maybe its just me... 

And this is how it looks on me:

 Likes:
  • Super Cheap 
  • Dupe of Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream
  • Was searching for a Fandango Purple dupe and this is pretty close.
  • Provides a super matte finish
  • Stays on all day long
  • Suits all skin tones
  • Very pigmented
Dislikes:

  • Ingredients list missing
  • Drying
  • You need to exfoliate well before applying this
  • The applicator isn't that amazing
  • Accentuates fine lines
  • Feathers on application,needs outlining.
Over All Rating: 3.5/5

Despite the cons,I highly recommend this if you are a matte lips lover and want to try fuschia purple shade!

Matte is the way to go these days and as soon as the trend is catching up,I'm falling for it at the same pace. I have always been a lover of satin/creamy matte lipsticks. They sort of allow you to play up with colours still keeping things subtle.
Anyways.. so it was just another day when I was in a store laying my hands on a few skin care stuff that you saw in the recent haul post,where my retinas landed on something that looked EXACTLY similar to Sleek Matte Me Lip Creams.. Needless to say I jumped on it and got to I know it was Incolor Matte Me Lip Cream. Now how similar you think a dupe can be in terms of packaging? see yourself:

Beat That..??
LOL.. Its like Incolor used the same container altogether :P

Price vs Quantity:

Shade: 407
Bummer!that they don't have shade names but numbers. The one I have is in 407 and is a *turn -ur-heads-this-side* kinda orange based red. Its super bright and not for the ones with a faint heart. It instantly brightens up the face and perks up the whole look but you really need to go subtle everywhere else when you have THIS on! Its tailored for the warm Asian skin tone!


Pigmentation:


Its super-duper pigmented. You can see in the image above that there is no difference in the opacity of the single or double swiped swatches. Infact it is so pigmented that it requires a hell lot of precision while applying coz if you go wrong wiping it off would be a task.

Staying Power:
Till you have a cotton dipped in makeup remover in your hands...like literally! It just won't budge. You can have a 5 course meal,three times a day and it-won't-budge and I really like that coz with this formula touch ups are a distant dream,you will have to wipe it all out and reapply otherwise. So I'm happy it stays till the time you would probably want it to.

Texture:
Now this is a bit confusing. I mean,this is my first matte lip cream and I really don't know to be honest if they are all drying or just this one.The formula doesn't feel very comfortable. It gives me a oh-I-have-something-on-my lips kinda feel. Or maybe its just me...

And now the lip Swatches in different lights to give you a better of the shade:

The one in the daylight is true to the colour. I tired to pair it with a clear clear gloss to see how it looks and feels and here are the results:
Even after applying the gloss,the staying power wasn't affected instead the lips definitely became moist..but then what's the point of a matte lip cream if you apply a shiny gloss over it..Point! Eh..?
