Hi
dear readers,
Lakme
is a trusted Indian cosmetic and skin care brand. In a recent sale on Nykaa I went
crazy on Lakme products and bought quite a lot. (Reviews coming up soon) This
product, Weightless matte mousse in the shade plum feather was a free tester I received
with the lakme products from Nykaa. Read on to see how this product performed.
Price: 575 for 9g, but I received it as a free
product from nykaa.
Shade name: Plum
feather.
Description: This new generation matte mousse feels
incredibly weightless to wear all day, giving your lips a powdery matte finish
and your cheeks a blush that completes your 9to5 look.
Key ingredients: Not mentioned on the carton or on the
tube.
Review of Lakme
9to5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip and Cheek Color- Plum Feather:
The
weightless matte mousse comes packed in an rose gold cardboard carton which
houses the rose gold plastic tube with a metallic screw on cap. The plastic
tube is quite thick and sturdy so you don’t have to worry about it breaking.
The cap is tightly screwed on and it doesn’t leak any product. Moreover, the
product itself is of whipped up mousse texture so you don’t have to worry about
leakage.
The
consistency of the product is soft mousse and is smooth in texture. It goes on
smoothly on the lips. The applicator is a flat tear drop shaped sponge
applicator (not the usual doe-foot shaped applicators) at the end of the wand,
fixed on the screw on cap. As the tube is an opaque one, the amount of product
inside the tube is not clear. You won’t know how much product is inside or how
much is it left.
The
shade name is plum feather and it is a pinkish mauve shade. The lipstick doesn’t
feel heavy on the lips. It is so weightless you’ll forget that you are wearing
any lipstick. The consistency is thick and after applying it settles on the
lips in a powdery matte form. It is so weightless and fells like velvet. You
can build up the colour if you want.
It accentuates the dry patches on the
lips, so be sure to scrub your lips before applying the lip color. A good
hydrating lip balm is necessary before applying the lipstick, as it matte it
tends to dry out the lips. But if you apply a lip balm and then lipstick, you’ll
feel comfortable and it isn’t drying. The product lasts on my lips for a good 5
hours. It survives drinks or a cup of coffee, but if you are having a meal, the
lip colour fades out leaving a beautiful tint on the lips. Reapplication is
easy.

after the product has set(please excuse me for the unclear picture)
As a cheek color or blush, you just need a little bit of the product and have
to work fast and blend this product fast because it sets soon. As a blush it
lasts on my normal skin for about 6 hours. The brand has named it aptly “weightless”
matte mousse. I love the product and would like to try out more shades from
this range.
