Lakmé Absolute Pop Tints Lip Tint- Candy Kiss Review

This is the first post on my blog. I wanted to write about something that I love a lot. After a long phase of wearing my thinking-hat, I realized that there are many such things :D. So I decided to share my love for the chubby Lakmé Absolute Lip tint. This is a very pretty collection by Lakmé, full of many gorgeous shades.

I tested all the shades on the Lakmé counter and picked the shade Candy Kiss, as it looked like a very suitable one for me.

                                      

Lakmé Says-

These thick creamy pencils in 8 pop shades deliver rich deep color and incredible shine in just a stroke, to give you lips that pop like it should. A high performance make-up collection of lip tints in shades of summer, including bright orange, vivacious pink and flaming red for that amazing “read-my-lips” pout.

·         Rich color delivery

·         Unique Pop Shades

The collection has 8 stunning shades- Plum rush, Pink sorbet, Candy kiss, Berry pink, Wine punch, Peach please, Orange tease, Grape hint

 

Price- INR 800 for just 2g of product. I got mine for 700 bucks from Lifestyle in June this yearJ.

As it is a limited edition product, I’m not sure if it is still available on counters but yes I still see it available online.

                                                        

Shelf-life- Expiry date is mentioned.

Packaging, Shade and Texture- The tint comes in a thick, black twist pencil with a transparent cap so it is easy to locate in the stash. Shade name is printed on base. On the top of the cap ‘Limited Edition’ is printed. The packaging is travel-friendly but not very pretty.

                                          

The shade Candy Kiss is soooo pretty . It is a very subtle and beautiful orange. This one will suit almost every skin tone.

The texture is creamy and like a lip balm.

The swatch is on a tissue paper because for some unknown reason my SLR refused to click the swatch on my hand.

                                                  

My opinion- I am dusky and have pigmented lips so was a little skeptical about the colour pay-off, but I loved it :D. The lip tint has good pigmentation for a lip crayon and covers my lips in 4 swipes- I know it’s a lot many swipes but that’s OK. Girls with lighter lips will definitely get the desired shade in 2 swipes. I would add that the coverage is not completely opaque on me and probably that’s why it looks so natural.

The crayon glides smoothly on my lips and I don’t need to use a lip balm as it is quite hydrating.

Lasting power is good- lasts for 2-3 hours without meals and fades evenly. It does not bleed so no worries here.

The colour brightens my face and looks lovely. I totally love this as it really makes my lips look like a juicy orange candy ;).  And I don’t think that it is a summer-only colour as the brand says. It is an all-season natural shade for me.

                                                   

The positives-

·         Very pretty shade

·         Hydrates lips

·         Travel-friendly packaging

·         Doesn’t feel heavy on lips

The Negatives-

·         Expensive

·         Pigmentation can be better

·         More lasting power is expected at this price

·         Not sure about availability

Summing it up- This is a must try shade for all girls. I highly recommend it even if you are new to oranges as it’s not OTT.

Score- 4/5 (1 mark deducted for high-price and low pigmentation)
