Lakme Enrich Satins Lipstick Shade 135 and 423, photo, review, swatches
I have always liked Lakme lipsticks. Now, don't pounce on me telling how bad they are. I know you can;t compare them with high end brands, but for the price and color selection ( which they updated recently) and moreover the wonderful texture, I find myself going back over and over again. Well, plus, Lakme lipstick was my first lipstick at 4!!! Yes, at 4 years I had a lipstick of my own!!
Anyway, when the Enrich Satins were launched, I bought one. Rather he bought me one. But as I swatched
it I was amazed the way it glided and with such an intensity!! Last time incidentally he bought be a few lipsticks again and this time I got another shade.
I won't get too much into ling introduction since that becomes so boring to write. :P
Anyway. What I like about these:
What I do not much like:
Recommendation: Go through the con and buy it now! Instead of buying NYX round lippies at double the price, go for these. Less hassle and more colors in the Indian market!!

Anyway. What I like about these:
- I love 135 which is a beautiful pink. It looks more subdued in the tube, but on my lips it takes a neonish effect(?). I don;t know how to describe, but it is a cool pink that lifts my complexion and looks way brighter in the tube. The Maroon ( 423) is nice and is a bit more mature color I would say. Nevertheless, it looks good on me. It's more like a wine color than a pure maroon.
- Availability: These are available almost everywhere and if you know the shopkeepers there's always a discount. I normally get a flat 10% discount.
- The colorpay off is amazing!! A single swipe would cover pigmented lips, but I like to go over for cleaner application.
- The texture is just what I like! Buttery!! It glides on and makes the lips not glossy, but moist.
- The color selections are wide and you might find quite a few dupes of high end brands.
- At 225 INR peronally I find these are steals!! I do have plenty of Lakme lipsticks, but I am so used to them that I never thought of reviewing them!!

What I do not much like:
- My one and only complaint remains the staying power which is inconsistent. While 423 ( Maroon) leaves a distinct stain, 135( PINK) leaves no stain at all and while 423 lasts for quite a long time, 135 vanishes off very soon.
Recommendation: Go through the con and buy it now! Instead of buying NYX round lippies at double the price, go for these. Less hassle and more colors in the Indian market!!
I love both the shades!! :)

Deletegreat review dear. i love the pink one and i am not into maroons. but at 225 bucks and 10% discount these are definitely worth trying. thank you :)
ReplyDeleteYes. For the price I cannot really complain
DeleteI have 423 and even I think they are really good at the price. Pigmented, creamy and great colors! what else can we expect at 225. Nice review! :)
ReplyDeleteSame pinch!Yes. Even I don't see why people are complaining.
DeleteThanks Niesha :)

DeleteThe pink shade looks great on Indian skins. The flipside that you pointed out is the only complaint I have with Lakme as well. Otherwise, the texture & the colours are very good :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. I don;t mind reapplication, so I am going for more of these!!!
