Lakme Absolute Lip Tint Matte (Tangerine Touch) - Product Review

Lakme lipsticks have become my favorite over the past few years. They have really improved a lot with the products be it the textures of the lipsticks or the colors. I wanted to write something something about Lakme lipsticks because they are currently my favorite. Not only that my favorite actress (Read: Kareena Kapoor) is their brand ambassador. I don't think I needed more reasons to write something about this product.

I have used Lip Crayons before, I guess it was a Chambor product. There were a lot of advertisements here and there when this product was launched. I got curious and wanted to try it out. The colors were also catchy. So when I went out to buy a lipstick for myself for the upcoming festivities, I decided that this will be the lipstick that I am going to buy. 

Lakmé Absolute Lip Pout is a chubby lip color pencil that gives your lips a beautiful and luscious tint with an awesome matte finish. The product is available in 6 classic matte colors, Lakme Absolute Lip Pouts will invariably brighten your face and will give you a playful look.

The features of Lakmé Absolute Lip Pouts include, an excellent matte finish without drying your lips excessively, quick and easy application and retractable pencil that doesn't need sharpening. 

The lip pouts are priced at Rs 650 fro 3.5 g and the shelf life is 24 months. I have always used lipsticks for more than 2 years and I am doing pretty fine. I have absolutely no clue what harm will a lipstick do if I wear it after 24 months. The packaging of Lakmé Absolute Lip Pouts is very similar to Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm and nowadays almost all the brands have the same packaging for matte or tinted balms. The color of the tube represents the true shade of the lip color. It's covered with a silver cap.The shade name is mentioned at the bottom of the tube.

The only problem with this lipstick is the pigmentation. You need to swipe at least 3-4 times to build the

actual color. It's a little disappointing because it's Lakme and I am a big fan of the 9-5 range of Lakme. The lipstick stays on your lips for 3- 4 hours with moderate snacking but it also has a tendency to become too dry. So, if you have chapped lips, use a lip balm before applying it. The color fades away very unevenly, to be specific when the color fades it left an orange stain on my lips which looks very odd. Although when applied, it has a very beautiful orange tint.

As far as I am concerned, I think this lipstick can be only be purchased if you like hoarding lipsticks like me. Otherwise, the 9-5 range of Lakme is cheaper and is excellent in pigmentation.  Try it at least once but apart from the few of the cons, there is nothing much to regret about this product.
