Lakme recently released this beautiful matte lip and cheek mousse in gorgeous shades. Firstly, I love multi-purpose products. They are easy to use and touch ups are a breeze. Lakme has exploited age-old technique of  using the lipstick on the cheeks, as the same color on the cheeks and lips looks good together.

Shades Available: Burgundy Lush, Crimson Silk, Plum Feather, Pink Plush, Blush Velvet, Cocoa Soft, Coffee Lite, Fuchsia Suede, Rose Touch, Tangerine Fluff

Product Description:
Say ‘No’ to touch ups with this perfect for office wear, Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Matte Lip and Cheek Color. Lakme’s first lip and cheek color comes in a mousse texture that’s weightless, giving a powdery matte finish to lips and a soft blush to your cheeks. Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Matte Lip and Cheer Color is ideal for daily office wear adding charm and lasting long. Its dual benefit makes it a high functional product for the busy and on the go working woman. It looks and feels weightless because of the lightweight formula. Since it’s a mousse texture, it absorbs well, giving an intense color that long-lasting. The applicator brush glides on seamlessly making it easy to apply and giving a smooth and even finish. There are 10 vibrant shades designed especially for both lips and cheeks.
Price:
INR 575 for 9gm of the product.

My Experience with the product:

I was totally blown by the concept of light weight, mousse textured lip and cheek tints and the gorgeous shades. I own 2 gorgeous shades from the list : plum feather and rose touch.

Texture:

The texture seems a little dry to apply, mousse-like for sure, but dry. It felt like my product has dried in the tube, which is not possible since this is a recent launch. The product is thick and glides very well, it coats the lips and feels plush. After a few minutes, it gets really matte. I would say it is smudge-resistant, but initially, it does feel like it is moist and will smudge easily. As the day passes, the product seems a bit drying, and looks more matte. It hardly transfers and even survives many meals. I can wear it at at stretch of 6 hours without touch ups! I know, insane!

My sensitive nose does not agree with the really strong and artificial vanilla smell. It is just too strong for my liking. It kind of subsides after a while but as soon as you open the product, that whiff of vanilla hits you right in the nose. So sensitive nose ladies need to smell this product before buying.

When used as blush, they are highly pigmented. So tiny dots along your cheekbone should be enough. Blend well and then powder for proper blushed look!

PLUM FEATHER:

Its a gorgeous deep pink color with mauvy undertones. It actually took me a while to describe the color. Trust me girls, buy it!! you shall not repent. Its very pigmented and the wand is enough to line the lip and then fill in it. If you are dark lippi-fan like me, its a must buy. Gorgeous-Gorgeous!!!!

ROSE TOUCH:

Its a beautiful nude shade with heavy mauve undertones. Due to the undertone, it does not wash out my skin tone( fair to medium). Its an excellent everyday wear.
