Review

I was quite excited for the launch of this foundation because I felt that it would be perfect for summer. I usually skip foundation in this heat but sometimes when I do apply, I always opt for one with a light texture and buildable coverage. The problem with this product is that it is available in only four shades. I have shade 03 Silky Golden which was sent to me by the brand and unfortunately, it is not a good match at all. I have read in other blogs that the darkest shade in the range is also light for majority of the bloggers. At a time when brands like Huda, Fenty etc are expanding their shade range to include different skin tones, an Indian brand not giving importance to darker skin tones is quite disappointing.

The colour does not suit my skin tone and to use it, I will have to mix a darker shade but I did try it out on its own to write the review.

The light weight , easy to blend formula with SPF 30 is definitely a plus. It has a runny consistency and sets on the skin immediately giving a semi-matte finish. The coverage is light to medium making it suitable for work and everyday use. All of these qualities make it a perfect summer foundation.

If you get a shade that matches your skin tone, I think you will like the natural finish that it gives. It lasts for about 4-5 hours on me without a primer.

In the picture below, I have used a dark shade of concealer to even out the skin tone.

At the price, I definitely think that the new Lakme 9to5 Naturale Foundation Drops is a decent buy. It is nothing extraordinary but if you are looking for an everyday foundation that is reasonably priced, you can try it out. If you get a shade that matches your complexion!

December 19, 2016

Lakmé launched a bunch of new makeup as part of their Illuminate and Shine collection in collaboration with Sabyasachi. In this post, I wrote about the bronzer, highlighter, shimmer brick and liquid liners. In today’s post, I will share my views on the Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Eyeshadow Palettes Royal Persia and French Rosé. Lakmé launched two palettes earlier in the year and I was not too impressed with the pigmentation or staying power.

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip And Cheek Color Review & Swatches

December 4, 2016

When I went to Mumbai late October to attend the Pond’s event, I was told by the Lakme team about a new launch from the brand that they were all very excited about. I didn’t get too many details except for the fact that it would be the Lakme’s first lip and cheek color. Mention lip color to me and my interest level immediately shoots up so I was definitely curious to know what’s coming. One week later, I got the deets. They were talking about the new Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color. I was sent three shades to try out – Blush Velvet, Burgundy Lush and Pink Plush. Read on to know more…

Lakme 9To5 CC Color Transform Cream – Review

October 3, 2016

I, for one, have been a Lakme CC Cream loyalist from the last year or so, and found it to be more effective than the contemporaries flooding the market. I would normally use it with a tiny blob of moisturizer (read MAC Strobe Cream), and it would instantly perk my face up, give it a natural sheen without going dry or patchy. That was then. Now, with the launch of the new variant of the Lakme CC cream, the Lakme 9To5 CC Color Transform Cream and the very lucrative color transforming element added to it, I couldn’t wait to try it and figure out what more it has to offer .
