Juvias Place Masquerade Palette: Review, Swatches, FOTD

Juvias Place has made a special place for itself in the beauty world of colour cosmetics. All it's products including eyeshadows, highlighters, blushes and lip products are quite popular among the beauty enthusiasts. but the one product that the brand is actually raved so much about is it's eyeshadows. The brand is owned by a beautiful lady of colour and that could be a reason for it selection of fearless and bright shades. The palette that I'm going to talk about today is The Masquerade Palette.

Price: $25

Packaging:

Just like shade selection, the outer packaging of this palette is bright and beautiful. The 16 pans of gorgeous eyeshadows are housed in a shocking pink outer case and a bright yellow inner one. The packaging is quite sturdy but I do miss a mirror considering it is a huge palette and could have incorporated a decent size mirror easily. The eyeshadow pan size is pretty huge and hitting pan is nowhere in the scene.

Eye shadows

The Masquerade boasts of an amazing amalgamation of warm and cool toned eyeshadows. It has everything from bright greens,blues,purples and pinks to muted and deep warm neutral tones. Having said all the nice things,there's one shade that i absolutely miss in this paltte and that is a matte black eyeshadow.

Let's get down to the shades breakup:

CHI- Royal Blue / Satin finish / Very pigmented
MALI- Sea Green / Satin finish / Very pigmented
DALIA- Deep Turquoise / Satin finish / Bomb pigmentation
ZOLA- Mid tone turquoise with green undertones/ Satin finish / Bomb pigmentation
MAKEDA- Bright purple / Satin finish / Very pigmented
ZOBO- Deep Magenta / Matte finish / Very pigmented
CALABAR- Cranberry with red undertones / Satin to foil finish / Super pigmented
BORI- Hot pink with fine gold flecks / Matte / Very pigmented
GIZA- Shimmery Cream,great for highlight / pressed pigment kinda bomb finish
BURKINA- Mid tone muddy brown / Matte / Less pigmented
CAIRO- Burnt orange with gold flecks / Matte / Very pigmented
ADA- Deep Terracotta / Matte / Decent pigmentation
DAHIA- Warm Champagne / Satin -foil finish / Very pigmented and is a beautiful highlighter
ZULU- Mid tone warm brown / Matte / Okayish pigmentation
CASABLANCA- Coppery gold / Foil finish / Bomb pigmentation
FULANI- Deep brown / Matte / Very pigmented

My Take:

Juvias Masquerade Palette is my all time favourite eyeshadow palette. It is very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity that it offers and can come under the umbrella of drugstore eye shadows.

I personally love the versatility of the palette. It can easily be divided in to a warm neutral palette and a cool-toned colourful one. While the top two rows have bright and bold colours which give so much opportunity to let the creative juices flow and come out with innovative eye looks, the bottom two rows have beautiful warm toned shades to create everyday eye looks without much schbang.

The two highlighters are good enough to give that blinding glow and I love reaching out for them not just for the brow bone but also as a general face highlighter.

The texture of the eyeshadows is buttery soft. In the pigmentation department they are unbeatable.

Now coming to the cons of the palette, I really miss a mirror in it. Given its size, it could have easily housed a mirror and that would have made it so travel friendly.

Secondly, it is totally lacking a matte black eyeshadow which is so much needed to intensify the look. I have to reach out to another palette just to smoke out my outer corners.

Thirdly, the shade Bori which is a bright hot pink stains a bit but somehow I've noticed that with all my pink eyeshadows.

Lastly and unfortunately, it's not available in India. You can buy directly from its website or through Instagram sellers ( who obviously charge much extra than its actual price..but...)

So yeah keep your eyes open when some friend/ relative/ or you yourself visit abroad next time :P

Final Word:

Get it if you can...it all you need!!

LOVE it!

NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick in Vintage : Review, Price and FOTD

Budget Belleza 11.10.18 3 Comments

Yeah Yeah I can see a lot of NYX happening on the blog lately!!

And why not,some of their products are at par with their higher end counterparts while keeping the price line within the drugstore reaches. While NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Rome is the closest MLBB shade I have, this new baby is the one I'm wearing every other day these days.

Beauties we are talking about the NYX Suede Lipstick in Vintage!!

Price / Quantity: INR 850/4ml

NYX Suede Lipstick in Vintage comes in a rather hefty liquid lipstick tube packaging. It is colour-coded and bears the shade name on it..PRINTED and not on a flimsy sticker.. I love that NYX..thumbsup!! The applicator isn't doe-foot, yet because of it's flexibility it aids in precise application. In the pictures here, I haven't used a lip liner and applied directly from the tube applicator.

Vintage is a gorgeous gorgeous medium to deep toned plum brown with mauve/grey undertones. Its an unusual shade and thus difficult to explain. It is one shade that will look amazing on all skin tones specifically the duskier lovelies.

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHADE!

The texture is creamy...suede is the name..you get it? It's a very comfortable matte and doesn't dry out lips.

Pigmentation wise it'll disappoint you in the first swipe. Even though it swatches opaque on my hand, somehow it needs 3-4 applications for a smooth,seamless, opaque finish on the lips.

But oh boy! Once done I don't need a touch up for another 5 hours. So not a wee bit of complain there.

Products Used for this look are:

Primer- Colorbar
Foundation- Loreal True Match in + Revlon Colorstay in
Concealer- Maybelline Conceal and correct in C10
Contour- Kat Von D shade and light
Highlighter- The Balm Mary Lou Manizer
Blush- BH Cosmetics Blushed Neutrals palette
Eyebrows- Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow pomade
Eyeshadow- BH Cosmetics Blushed Neutrals and 120 palette
Mascara- Sugar Cosmetics
Falsies from ebay
Lipstick- Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Vintage

All in All I'm seeing myself wearing a lot of VINTAGE this fall.

Much Love!!

Sugar Contour De Force Face Palette in Subtle Summit 01: Review, Swatches and Price

Budget Belleza 17.1.18 0 Comments

Sugar Cosmetics is making waves in the Indian cosmetic industry with their new launches every now and then. Their range of lip products is also impressive ;from matte to cream lipsticks and from lip crayons to liquid lipsticks you can find it all under the Sugar umbrella. I have tried their lip crayons Rose Dawson and Voila

and I can say, I like how smoothly they apply and yet how matte they end up in a matter of few minutes. Another major like about these is that pigmentation isn't an issue with them nomatter how light the shade is and so is the case with their staying power too. Off late I've become a sucker for staying power. I can gladly skip a lip product even if I like a particular shade to death, if it doesn't stay put for a considerable amount of time...not a reapplying girl :/

Coming back to today's product...Sugar Contour De Force Palette.
The brand launched two variants of their bronzer-highlighter-blush trios: 01 Subtle Summit and 02 Vivid Victory.

I chose 01 Subtle Summit basically because I fell for the shades of bronzer and highlighter...I'm not much of a blush person anyway!

Price vs Quantity: INR 799/12gm

Ingredients:

Packaging:

The trio comes housed in a cardboard box with a magnetic closure and a mirror. The purple box looks sassy till it is closed. On opening the packaging isn't anything luxe. I'm not a fan of cardboard packaging anyway but since it is sturdy I guess it will be more travel-friendly than it's plastic counterpart. I've always been a big fan of palettes rather than singles. They are easy to carry around when you are travelling and even if you are not moving around just carrying one palette in your hand that suffices the work of three different products makes it worth.
The con with this palette is that all the details (ingredients,manufacturing date,shelf life etc.) are given on the outer black case and not on the trio palette itself.
Secondly, what irked me was that if the contents of the trio had their own names when they come in singles,why weren't the same printed on the palette too?
Correct me if I'm missing out on something!!
Tip: Write the major details like expiry and stuff at the back of the palette with a thin permanent marker! Atleast I'll do that!

01 Subtle Summit

Bronzer- Taupe Topper

The bronzer and highlighter like I said was the major reason I delved into this palette rather than 02. It is a cool toned,muddy brown and I like my bronzers like that. Even though we are warm toned, I somehow feel that warm bronzers end up looking orangey and fake. Whereas,this creates a perfect shadow like contour. The texture is smooth and that assists nice blending.

Highlighter- Champagne Champion

The highlighter of this trio is a gorgeous champagne..rightly named! It is what a highlighter should be. It is intensely pigmented and would look beautiful on a spectrum of skintones. Given the bomb it is, it's highly recommended that initially a lighter hand is used to apply and don't forget to dust off the extra product that your brush picks up to avoid looking like a ball of shimmer.

Blush- Peach Peak

In the pan, it looked like dusty mauvy pink and I was wondering why the hell it's named Peach Peak. But on applying it didn't come off as cool-toned as it appeared in the pan. It does have a peach undertone to it..but basically it is a muted dusky pink. I like that it is absolutely matte and a nice daytime blush.

As I mentioned,palettes are my thing and if all the contents of the palette are more than satisfactory then it's a win-win situation. Both the contour and highlighter are my favourite out of this palette (only because i don't use blush much). The staying power was great when I applied these directly over my foundation, whereas the effect wasn't that long lasting when applied over pressed powder for obvious reasons.

I do find 800/- bucks a bit steep for drugstore but then sugar isn't a cheap drugstore brand anyway so....

I'm skipping FOTD this time..lemme know if you want to see how it looks on me!

Lakme 9 To 5 Lipstick in Coffee Command : Review, Price and Swatches

Budget Belleza 27.10.17 0 Comments

I have been been a nude lips lover all my life. Even being a makeup enthusiast, I can't imagine myself wearing a bold lip colour every single day.Also, nude lips compliment a bold eye look very well. So basic neutral MLBB kinda shades are a win-win in any scenario!!

My love for Lakme 9 to 5 Lipsticks isn't hidden. They are most comfortable and lasting mattes I've come across in the this price bracket. Hence,another addition to the family is Coffee Command!

Price/ Quantity : INR 450/ 3.6ml

Packaging:

Coffee Command comes in Lakme 9 to 5's quintessential rose gold tube housed in a cardboard box. Their packaging is another reason apart from their formula and longevity that makes me want them more.

Shade:
Coffee Command is reeeelly reeeelly close to my natural lip colour. I mean there's nothing in my collection that matches my natural lips more than this particular shade.

Though the camera made it look more mauvy pink in the image above,I find it more on the peachy side. So, if you are looking for a peachy nude lipstick ,look no further. Also,since it comes out pretty pale on my NC 30ish skin tone, I can see it washing out complexions above NC 40.

Texture:
Lakme 9 to 5, I repeat are the most comfortable matte lipsticks in this price range. It is velvet to apply and sets matte. It has no fragrance to bother our sensitive noses.

Pigmentation:
Talking about the pigmentation of pale nudes is a tricky thing to attempt. But like its other counterparts, Coffee Command even being a pale peachy nude is well pigmented..just that the shade is light enough and might ask for a reapplication after 4hours of wear time.

My Take:

If you like peachy nude lipsticks or if you are an eye makeup enthusiast then this is the shade and formula for you since I often like pairing up smokey eye with a peachy nude lip. It might wash you out if you are on the duskier and warmer shade of the spectrum.

Rating: 4.5/5

Sleek Lip VIP Lipstick in SHOW OFF: Review, Price, Swatch and FOTD

Budget Belleza 1.9.17 3 Comments

Up with another lipstick and this time its the Sleek Lip VIP lipstick in the shade Show Off. Sleek is a well known UK brand that makes awesome products at affordable prices. Their eyeshadows and blushes are to die for. So if you like the lipstick shade in the picture above and want to know more about it..Read On!!!

Price/ Quantity: £5.49/3.6gm

Ingredients:

Packaging:

Sleek Lip VIP range of lipsticks come in a matte black square packaging with shiny Sleek written on it. The bottom end displays the colour..simple and practical. I find this and Faces Canada Moisture Rich lipsticks pretty identical in packaging. The sticker on the cap has the ingredient details.

Shade:

Before you read on, let me clear that the shade in the hand swatch is exactly what it looks like on me and somehow it looks a little faded in my pictures.

Show off is a a cool-toned deep brown with mauve/plum undertones (I know too many slashes,it's a difficult shade to explain). It's a beeeeaauuuuttiiifuul shade.Very classy..goes on a wide spectrum of skintones (probably on everyone)..and can be worn over any colour you're wearing.

And NO,it does not make you look older!!

These days when I'm puzzled about which lip colour to wear, I gladly apply this on :)

Texture:

Sleek Lip VIP lipstick in the shade glides onto the lips like a dream given their creamy formula. It soon settles to a semi-matte finish though with a sheen.Since I'm so over the drying mattes phase,I find this a refreshing change.

It is hydrating owing to the presence of ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E.

Since it is creamy it's not surprising that it transfers to cups and spoons but that doesn't much affect its colour pay off.

I assume it might not able to survive the Indian heat thus refrigeration would be a good option.

Pigmentation:

Show Off is well pigmented and takes care of any pigmentation that you have on your lips in one or two swipes.

My Take:

If you have read my earlier post on my favourite purple lipstick you would know that I am already in the fall mood regarding the lip colours. Show Off only helps me stay in that deep shade mood a little longer. I love the mix of chocolate, plum and a hint of lavender in this shade and as much as the description sounds edible,the smell reconfirms it. It is densely pigmented and stays put for 4-5 hours depending what you eat.
It smells of coconut and vanilla which to be honest is a bit over whelming initially to my sensitive nose but gradually fades away. I'm enjoying hydrated lips lately.

Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bolds In Fearless Purple 16: Review, Price and FOTD

Budget Belleza 19.8.17 14 Comments

Maybelline is one drugstore beauty brand that I totally love. It never fails to experiment and always remembers to fall in budget and to me these are two hugest clap-worthy qualities of a brand.

While taking a stroll of my blog I realized that even though I love and use Maybelline products a lot, I haven't reviewed them much. So, here I am with a much loved Maybelline Loaded Bolds Lipstick in Fearless Purple..!!

Brand Claims:

What it is

Achieve high-impact color in one saturated stroke with Maybelline's The Loaded Bolds lipstick. Hypercolor pigments and an opaque, creamy clay base deliver one-stroke intensity. The Loaded Bolds is available in a range of pigment-loaded shades from deep plums and electric blues to vibrant reds and natural nudes.

Benefits

1. Delivers high-impact color in one saturated stroke.
2. An opaque, creamy clay base deliver one-stroke intensity.
3. Dermatologist and allergy tested.

How to use/apply

STEP 1: Apply lipstick in the center of your upper lip and follow the contours of your mouth.
STEP 2: Glide the lipstick across the entire bottom lip

Price/ Quantity: INR 575/3.9gm

Shades Available:

Wickedly White
Berry Boss
Chocoholic
Dynamite Red
Fearless Purple (the one I have)
Fierce Fuchsia
Midnight Date
Raspberry Rendezvous
Smoking Red
Sunny Coral
Baby Pink
Audacious Blue
Black

(There are other shades available at Amazon that haven't been launched in India and give MAC a run for its cost :P)

Ingredients:

Packaging:

No ground-breaking is happening here. Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bolds come in a regular color sensational range packaging. Just that the bullet cap coordinates to the colour family of the shade (they could have atleast properly colour-coded it i.e. the exact shade and not the colour-family)
Also, the bullet in my case is totally detached from the very base. Nooo..not broken..just that the whole bullet comes out clean from the base....which indicates..its weak!

Shade: Fearless Purple

Well the shade is what it says "Fearless Purple".
The sad part is that the camera isn't picking up the exact colour. Its deeper, more cool toned and less bright than what it appears here. The shade is a true purple. I didn't notice any undertones,it is pretty no-nonsense beautiful purple.
I would go on to say that it is hard to find this shade in drugstore brands. I did look for it earlier but all in vain!
The hush-hush beauty information is that Fearless Purple is a close dupe of Mac Heroine,since I don't own Heroine I can't claim it to be true!
Anyway, it will go well with all skintones equally.
SUPER LOVE the shade!!!

Texture:
It is creamy to apply and feel..a dream..I know..!!
It settles to a matte finish but not the drying, stretchy,dehydrated matte but a rather luscious matte.
It transfers slightly initially but that doesn't hamper its intensity and finish. Even after settling to a matte finish, it does not accentuate the fine lies which is pretty uncommon for the matte lipsticks.

Pigmentation:
This is hell of a pigmented lipstick. LOADED and BOLD both. Loaded and jam packed with pigment. It is truly a one-swipe lipstick and takes care of any amount of pigmentation you have on the lips.

Staying Power:
Hell Yeahhhh..I was waiting for this. It stayed on me WHOLE DAY.. and saw me through breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh yess!! It just won't go.
Now if you hate lipsticks that stain..switch tab..this isn't for you!!!
Even after 9+ hours, Fearless Purple didn't wear off, infact I was still pretty presentable lips-wise :P
It stains really badly and you'll need help of removers and oils to get rid of it.

Here's how it looks on me (though actually it comes out darker)

Over All Thoughts:
In love with the shade, texture and staying power!!
If you want to buy just one shade from the Maybelline Color Sensational Loaded Bolds range of lipsticks..buy FEARLESS PURPLE!

Sugar Matte As Hell Lip Crayon in Rose Dawson: Review,Price,Swatches and LOTD

Budget Belleza 17.7.17 11 Comments

The moment I heard of this shade name,I was wondering where have my ears gone through it earlier.. it was surely not new ! I never had a class mate with that name nor any teacher which could've been the possibility given the Irish School background and the Anglo Indian teachers.. but no! Time passed and the shade name "Rose Dawson" took a back seat and the other qualities of the lip crayon surfaced. This is my first experience with the brand Sugar Cosmetics and me being a 'natural looking lips' lover couldn't hold myself back in owning it. Their lipsticks and lip crayons are quite a hit along the makeup enthusiasts and why not when the world is going gaga over matte lips for the past few years now.

Brand Claims:

Set hearts aflutter with beauty, grace and a dollop of passion with Rose Dawson – the perfect rose pink shade whose timeless appeal is sure to win the world around you!

If excellent coverage and high colour pay-off is what gets you going, you will absolutely love our SUGAR Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick that is available in 11 gorgeous shades to suit your taste & your ever-changing mood! Super long-lasting and highly pigmented so you don’t have to worry about constant re-application, this must-have crayon lipstick has a soft texture with a silky matte finish.

Bonus: Every Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick comes with its specially designed high quality sharpener that is carefully crafted to help you make the most of your purchase.

How to Apply: Exfoliate your lips & apply the Crayon Lipstick just the way you would with any other lipstick. Blot & reapply.

Benefits: The Sugar Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick has a creamy consistency that eventually settles in to a matte finish. With stunning shades that don’t fail to impress, it provides maximum coverage with the right amount of colour. This power product is dermatologically tested & approved and 100% safe for your skin.

Ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide, Yellow 5 Lake, Manganese Violet, Mica, Red 7 Lake, Iron Oxides, Isododecane, Diisostearyl Malate, Synthetic Wax, Dimethicone, Distarch Phosphate, Caprylyl Methicone, Polybutene, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethylimidazolidinone Rice Starch, Glyceryl Caprylate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Silica, Isoceteth-10

Shades Available:

Packaging:

In the world of chubbier, plus size crayons , Sugar Matte As Hell lip Crayon comes as gym going toned version :D These are slimmer to their counterparts and truly speaking better to hold than those chunky ones. Another pros is that you hardly come across a lipstick/gloss/crayon that has its shade name printed on it rather than having a sticker placed at either end.
THIS makes it extra! It has a colour coded end.. life made easy!! The only thing we dislike is the need to be sharpened. This makes you carry a sharpener along with it wherever you travel, also leads to product wastage and we hate the hard earned money getting sharpened and trashed.

Shade: Rose Dawson

Coming back to the familiarity with the shade name, I paused and pondered and on one sleepless night it occurred to me that if Kate Winslet (Rose) of the epic movie Titanic had married Leonardio DiCaprio (Jack Dawson) she would've become Rose Dawson :D
Moment of Enlightenment!!!
Rose Dawson is a milky-rosy-pink with a hint of mauve and a great shade for everyday use. It would go along with any outfit and and colour. I like to pair it with a long and thick winged eyeliner or the cult Smokey eye but it would look beautiful just like that too.

Truth be told, I'm a fan of rosy mauvy pinks!!

Texture :

Applying Sugar Matte As Hell Lip Crayon is a dream. It is super creamy to apply. No tugging pulling is involved like the regular mattes. It settles for a matte-as-hell finish. The formula doesn't dry out the lips which is a characteristic feature of matte lip products but you do feel that you have something on your lips. Being matte, it does accentuate the fine lines.. (exfoliate babe!!!)
Although it applies creamy,it starts looking patchy and crumbly once it settles. I didn't particularly find any odour or taste in it and it transfers very slightly.

Pigmentation:

It scores high in the pigmentation department and is good enough to cover any pigmentation that you have on your lips.

Staying Power:
Sugar Matte As Hell Lip Crayon in Rose Dawson stays put for good 5+ hours. Like with every lip product, it's longevity depends on what and how frequently you eat. Matte lipsticks and greasy food are enemies anyway.. you got the deal.. right? All in all I'm really impressed with its staying power not forgetting it's a pale shade to stay on for so long.

Over All Thoughts:
Sugar Matte As Hell Lip Crayon in Rose Dawson applies smoothly, is highly pigmented, stays put for long and is a beautiful shade BUT it accentuates fine lines,appears patchy and needs sharpening! It looks stunning from a distance and in photographs but the closer you get the more uneven it comes across!

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon in Cinnamon Brown and Pink Burst: Review, Price, Swatches and LOTD

Budget Belleza 10.7.17 6 Comments

Lakme Enrich Satin Crayon In Cinnamon Brown and Pink Burst

Its lovely when good brands come up with budget friendly products to cater to a wider array of population. The well known brand Lakme was in the game of chubby sticks and has launched the Lakme Absolute Lip Pout in matte and cream textures long back which I totally love and recommend. They were priced around 650/- Now Lakme has launched the much mini and affordable versions of it in the form of Lakme Enrich Lip Crayons at almost the price of a lip balm (both are not comparable though since they belong to different range/lines of lakme)

Brand Claims: Embrace the all new formulated lip colour crayon by Lakmé and use your lips like a canvas to create a vibrant look.

Get smooth and matte finish lips with this lip colour crayon by Lakmé that is infused with mineral powders. It has a soft texture and is available in 10 gorgeous shades that suit all Indian skin tones. It also has a rich blend of olive and jojoba oil that simultaneously conditions your lips. For your convenience, the all new Lakmé Enrich Lip Crayon comes with a sharpener.

Application:

Step 1: Open the cap and start applying the product from the centre of your upper lip.
Step 2: Worked from the centre towards the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth.
Step 3: Glide the product across the entire bottom lip.
Step 4: This step is optional but you could use a tissue to blot out the extra product.

Price/Quantity: INR 185/2.2gm

Packaging:

Lakme Enrich Satin Crayon In Cinnamon Brown and Pink Burst

Remove their caps and they actually look like crayons. The colour-coded label all over the crayon is a big help (remember, in my last post how much I cribbed about the similar look of all 9to5 weightless matte mousse?) Their tip is sharper than the usual chubby sticks, thus allows a more precise application on the outline of lips. Being just 2.2g they are definitely handy and promise that for once you'll be able to use up the product before it touches its expiry date (Infact, I actually dream of a day when brands will come out with their sample sizes of mid-high range product line)

They need to be sharpened which is a con but they give a dual sharpener free with the product which is a big Yes!

Shades: Pink Burst and Cinnamon Brown

Lakme Enrich Satin Crayon In Pink Burst and Cinnamon Brown

Pink Burst

Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon in Pink Burst

Pink Burst is a bright fuchsia shade and has fine silver shimmer that isn't easily visible. Its a beautiful shade and perks up the whole look. It somehow makes my face appear very flawless and smooth. I'm gonna rock this one in these monsoons!!

Cinnamon Brown

Lakmje Enrich Lip Crayon in Cinnamon Brown

Cinnamon Brown is a Beautiful cool-toned mauvy brown. I particularly love this shade and this is going to be my go-to shade for the coming few days. On my NC30 skin tone, it comes out as a perrrrfect MLBB shade. Since the shade isn't too deep and warm it might wash out deeper beauties.

Nonetheless,it will be a great lippy for college going girls and for everyday office wear.

( I might finish it up in 2 months)

Texture:

I didn't have high hopes from this Lip crayon given the price bracket it was falling in but surprisingly it ain't bad! It has a slightly thick velvetty texture that is pretty hydrating on the lips. Infact it is a good change from the drying mattes in my stash. It applies smoothly and does not accentuate fine lines. Its not a true matte instead a demi-matte lipstick which only makes it better.It definitely has a particular fragrance to it that I don't like and

that reminds me of my mom's lakme enrich lipsticks

(the maroon case one)

Pigmentation and Staying Power:

Pink Burst is packed with pigments and stayed on me for 6+ hours with meals leaving behind a beautiful pink tint whereas Cinnamon Brown has medium pigmentation and comparatively lower longevity but then it is a lighter shade too!

Over All Thoughts:

I'm happy that Lakme came out with this product that doesn't pinch the pocket and surprisingly fares well too. I can see it being popular with the youngistan and those who like to try new shades without risking much money.
