Product Details

Well ... Lakme has been like my goto brand .. Whenever I am confused as to what to buy which brand to pick and by default it boils down to lakme products .. the quality speaks oceans .. the products are very reliable and they work perfectly on my skin .. I absolutely love purchasing lakme products .. 

Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip &Cheek Color 

Coming to lakme 9to5 weightless matte mousse Lip & Cheek color .. a very "Complicated" name could be explained .. in simpler words. .. :)...it's a matte lip & Cheek color.. which has mousse like consistency and can be used as a lip color as well as as a blush . So it has a dual purpose and it is quiet long lasting and gives a very beautiful matte finish...


Packaging:

Packaging 

• It comes in a typical lakme 9to5 beige tube with rose gold cap enclosed in a rose gold cardboard box with all product details mentioned.
• The lip color detail is mentioned on a small round sticker at the bottom of the tube.

Shade Details

• It comes with a foam based doe foot applicator which helps to apply the lip color perfectly.

Packaging - Foam Based Doe Foot Applicator

• I have dropped these several times .. and they did not break so I can say with confidence that the packaging is quite sturdy and travel friendly .. they fit in perfectly in my purse and sling bag as well.
• I am quiet impressed with the foam based doe foot applicator as it makes it so easy to swipe the product on my lips.
• The only criticism with the packaging is that the tube is completely opaque , the lip color is not visible at all unless you try to find the shade by reading the little sticker at the bottom of the tube .. which is super inconvenient if you are carrying more than one shade in your purse.. which is usually my case !

Texture:

• Mousse like texture , very soft and thick.
• As the name mentions , it is weightless, and yes it does feel very light on my lips.
• The doe foot applicator has enough product to make 2 swipes comfortably without dipping in the tube for more product.
• Glides perfectly.
• The application becomes simple as it is very creamy and layering the product is easy before the lipstick settles as soft matte.. 
• It has a cocoa sort of fragrance to it , which fades off in like 10 mins.

Swatches : 

Lip Swatches from Left to Right Shades are : Plum Feather , Burgundy Lush , Cocoa Soft and Rose Touch.

Color Swatches 

• Plum Feather : Pink with red undertones .. This one is My favourite shade from this series.It is perfect for office wear & outdoors .. will suit all indian skin tones.
• Burgundy Lush : Burgundy color with brown undertones , Idealistic to wear with traditional / wedding season..will suit all indian skin tones.
• Cocoa Soft : Brown color with red undertones .. idealistic for dusky/darker skin tones.
• Rose Touch : Light Pink with blue undertones .. This one is nude shade for me .. It goes perfectly with smoky eye makeup look ..Will suit lighter / wheatish skin tones.

My Take on this ..! 

Well I bought these as a part of my Nykaa sale haul .. I initially ordered the shades Rose touch and Plum feather and the moment I wore them I was very impressed with the quality and the creamy texture on my lips , it glided effortlessly and the doe foot applicator was just up to the mark .. It settled for a soft matte in like 5 minutes and then it settled being a complete matte in no time... 

Plum feather felt a little drying as compared to Rose touch .. may be it varies from shade to shade , so I wore a lip balm before using these.. 

The shades were very decent and office wearable and so I decided to order 2 more .. Cocoa soft and Burgundy lush .. loved both .. but still plum feather and rose touch were my top 2 .. The fragrance is slightly sweet cocoa-ish which fades off with time .The color payoff is amazing .. just 2 swipes are enough for a beautiful opaque color.. It lasts for around 7-8 hours for me .. it even survives lunch .. unless I don't eat anything too oily .. 

Alternatively , I did try to use it as a blush and I felt that only lighter shades worked better , Rose touch worked best in my case and other shades went a little patchy and overboard.. 
I also felt that while I was trying to use these as blush I really had to work on my cheeks really quick considering that these are matte and they have a tendency to dry quickly.. 

All and all I felt that my search for perfect matte lipstick is over as I felt these to be very comforting on my lips and not as drying as other matte lipsticks I've used so far .. So a huge shout out to lakme for that .. 

That's the beauty of Lakme products .. they never tend to fail me .. !
