The Psychedelic Diaries: Lotus Herbals Ecostay Lipstick

I have been planning to write a review of this product for a long time now. After my sister read the other beauty product reviews on my Blog, she insisted that I review this product too. But writing beauty product reviews are a little bit tedious for me. I am lazy!

I have mentioned it previously as well that I am fond of all kinds of lipsticks. There are some shades which I am more fond of, some a little less. In the last few years, an Orange lipstick has become increasingly popular among women. I love wearing them too. This shade of lipstick can brighten up your face in a jiffy!

Before I start with the product review, as always I want to talk about something about the brand. Lotus Herbals is a pretty old name in the cosmetics industry. It has been around in the market for the last 20 years, but their entry in the makeup products arena is quite a recent thing. The brand has established it's name in the cosmetics industry. The makeup products are popular too. The products are herbal and therefore, a little expensive too.

Lotus Herbals has renamed their Purestay lipstick range to ‘Ecostay’, so the product is not new. The Purestay lipstick range has been in the market for quite some time now. I remember using one of them and forgetting about it completely afterwards. It was actually not that impressive. But when I wore one of the lipsticks from the ‘Ecostay’ range, all I can say is that Lotus Herbals has improvised on the product a lot. The company has come up with with 9 new lipstick shades. The lipsticks are priced at Rs. 545 for 4.2g, moderately expensive, I should say. Today, I will be reviewing the shade Orange Dream.

The lipstick is a preservative free, natural, long lasting and hydrating lip color. SPF 20 gives UV protection too. I mean that's what is written on the cover box. When I wore it, it gave a smooth, matte finish. The color is rich too. It stays on your lips for at least 4 hours with moderate snacking.

Lotus Herbals Ecostay Long Lasting Lip Colour comes in a pink cardboard packaging. It claims to be preservative free and 100% vegetarian but there is no ingredient list mentioned on the outer packaging. The outer box reveals the lipstick that comes in a satin pink covering and then the lipstick comes in a metallic pink packaging with a long cap that closes with just a click. The overall packaging looks a little bit different from its counterparts.

Orange Dream is a luscious orange lip color with reddish undertones with no shimmer or glossy finish. The reddish undertone makes it look rich and classy. The texture of the lipstick is creamy. The color settles to a matte finish within a few minutes.The lipstick has a bright color. This is a good shade to wear at work, all you have to do is tone it down a little bit. You can wear it at after work parties too. This shade has the capability of beautifying your face in just one go.
