With everyone google searching
for Lakme Absolute product reviews, it becomes really critical for us
beauty bloggers who have indulged ourselves and gotten ourselves some
products from this much
acclaimed range of cosmetics and for those beauty bloggers who have
been fortunate enough to have received samples of this range from the
company PRs to post reviews and help the beauty blogging brethren :) So
here I am doing my bit...
It all started when I had
promised myself that I was not going to purchase anything from Lakme as I
did not find their product quality up to the mark. Before the Absolute
range, I owned only
their fantasy range bronzer. So anyways, with their listicks ranging
from nudes to mostly browns, I was always put off by the "mature" lip
colors that they had to offer. But when they came up with their Absolute
range, I couldn't but help myself from plunging
into a mini haul and I must say that my apprehensions have been put to
rest and I can easily claim that I am truly in deep admiration of the
range.
Let me warn you guys that the
products from this range havn't really hit the stores full throttle,
rather they are trickling in, in twos and threes. For example at Pune
Central's Lakme counter,
I couldn't find the finishing powders and foundations. And neither
could I find the nail paints... I could go through only two shades of
baked blushes i.e. Night Sheen and Day Sheer. The SAs said that the
shade called Night Sparkle was yet to come. So I got
myself stuff from whatever was available :)
Those who have been reading my
blog since some time now would know that I have a penchant for matte
lipsticks and though I have petite lips (yes I prefer saying petite that
thin!), I still use
and flaunt these matte lippies with penache :) So when I saw these
matte lippies at the counter, I knew I had to have one :) I got one in
"Classic Rose" and well the name doesn't really connect to the
shade. When I heard the name, I expected it to be in the
pink/crimson family, but this shade a pure Red with Orange
undertones... But well who cares as long as the lipstick performs well
:P Right? Right?

Oooohhhss and Aaaahhss!!
1. It has some really gorgeous shades and very unlike the typical Lakme shades.
2. Highly pigmented
3. Not drying at all
4. Does not settle into or highlight fine lines on the lips
5. Does not cause any irritation or reactions
6. Has a pleasant Orange Cream biscuit odor which fades off after a couple of minutes.
Ouches!
1. Does not stay for 16 hours as is claimed! It stays for about 6 hours with a meal in between.
2. Has very limited number of shades. Waiting for more to be launched!
Price
It costs INR 395.00
Repurchase
Yes in other shades for sure.
Would I Recommend?
Oh for sure I will. They have some really classy shades to offer and finally a matte lipstick that isn't very drying :)
