Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Lipsticks Rosy Sunday (MP7) & Blush Book (M19): Review & Swatches

Hello Pretties,

These days I am getting a lot of messages asking me about my absence from blogging world. Yes! These days I am bit irregular & the reason is my new project i.e Euphorbia Box. Euphorbia box is getting a very nice response & I would like to thanks all for you for this 💋बहुत हो गयी इधर उधर की बातें अब हम असली मुद्दे पर आते हैं 😜. In July I received so many cosmetics as birthday gifts. My love for lipsticks is not hidden from anyone; I got plenty of them from blogger friends.

 Recently Lakme has reformulated its “Lakme 9 To 5 Matte” lipsticks with a primer and launched as “Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte” lipsticks. I received three shades (as gifts) of this range i.e Rosy Sunday, Blush Book & In this post, I will be talking about Rosy Sunday & Blush Book.

Ingredient list: Nothing mentioned

Price: Rs. 480

Wt: 3.6 gm

Online availability: www.amazon.in

Shelf life: 2 years

Packaging: These lipsticks come in a rose gold packaging which is housed inside a rose gold cardboard packaging. The cardboard packaging carries various details like shade name, number, expiry date, price, etc. Unfortunately, the entire ingredient list is missing from the packaging, I simply don’t understand why some brands do not provide the ingredient list. The twisting mechanism works perfectly & caps shut tightly, making each of them travel-friendly.

My opinion about this product: Both shades are pretty and perfect for daily routine. Rosy Sunday is dusky rose pink shade with maroon undertone whereas Blush book is a typical pinkish shade. These lipsticks have an in-built primer which truly preps and smoothens the lips, giving a non-drying, comfortable wear. These lipsticks are not completely matte in fact they provide you demi-matte finish. The color payoff isn’t fully opaque; they do pack a punch of color even on pigmented lips.

These lipsticks do not crease & do transfer initially but transferring reduces considerably once it is set. The staying power is pretty impressive and you need to do touchup every 6-7 hours. The lipstick fades evenly & leaves behind a beautiful stain. Sadly lipstick of this range settles into fine lines if worn for a longer time. Overall I liked these both lipsticks but my major complaint is that both lipsticks have flat head tip as so it becomes hard to fill in at the edges.

 What I like about this product...

1. Nice shades.
2. Decent staying power.
3. Leaves behind a beautiful stain.
4. Non-drying formula.
5. Easily available.
6. No tear formula.

What I do not like about this product...

1. Flat tip.
2. No color-coded packaging.
3. Settles into fine lines.
4. The entire ingredient list is missing.
