• Then follow instructions for Day Look.

My Take On This Product:

I was not very impressed with the blush 'Day Sheer' much due to presence of stark golden shimmers in it.However the blush 'Night Sheen' is a very pretty peachy brown blush with very finely milled golden shimmers that imparts a silky golden sheen to your cheeks.Its a very flattering shade for Indian Skin Tones.

Its comes in a pot like packaging with a see through transparent cover.I prefer this a lot as you can check the shades easily when you are in a hurry.On the transparent cover very beautifully L is embossed on it.There is a card inside mentioning instructions for use during day and night time.

The blush is dome-shaped and a pretty 'Peachy Brown' shade which is so versatile that you can very much wear it during day to your workplace and also during night to some party,I really mean it guys.Those with fair skin tones, can also use it for contour purpose.

This blush is not very soft like 'Day Sheer, which i liked because in this way there is product wastage while picking up with the blusher brush.I require one swipe of this blush for light Natural application and two when I want to intensify it.I really liked its pigmentation as its moderate and I can use it according to my need.

 

Staying power of this blush is 4-5 hours, It fades evenly leaving slight peachiness at the end of the day.The texture of the blush is neither very soft or hard.However, I wont say it blends like a dream or anything.I mean you need a good fluffy blusher brush for blending it, flat ones wont blend it nicely.Anyways, Its entirely fine for me as I have fluffy blusher brush with me.Overall I am very impressed with this shade and recommend it to everyone.

Pros Of The Product:

-Very pretty Peachy Brown shade.

-This particular shade is apt for Indian skin tones.

-The texture of the blush is quite soft and blends well.

-Its a moderately pigmented blush, so you can use according to your need.

-Staying power is near to 4 -5hours.

-Packaging is very attractive.

-It can be used for contouring purpose too.

-Its one of the cheapest baked blush available in the market.

-Its a versatile shade and can be used both during day and night.

-It contains very finely milled golden shimmers which gives a pretty golden sheen to cheeks.

-Never accentuates my pores.

It will last me for a long time.

-Lakme India website has finally updated about Lakme Absolute range. :p 

Cons Of The product:

-Not provided with a blusher brush or mirror.

-It may seem pricy for many people.

-Very few limited shades are available in this range.

-I wish they had at least one matte blush in this range.

Rating: 4 out of 5

Will I repurchase it? I wont need to.It will last me  for a long time

My Overall Recommendation: Very flattering shade for Indian Skin tones.So highly recommended.

 I have applied two swipes to show you guys!

Lakme Absolute Matte Lipstick Elegant Bloom, Swatch, FOTD.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I am going to review Lakme Absolute Matte Lipstick in shade 'Elegant Bloom'.So read on to know whether this range impressed me or depressed me? He He He ( Bad Joke I know).

Price: Rs 375

What The Company Says?

Ensure a proper pout while you enhance the beauty of your lips, with Lakme Absolute Matte. Enriched with Vitamin E and wheat germ oil, this keeps the lips smooth, silky and soft. Now enjoy the special attention along with an attractive matte finish as the non-drying creamy formula keeps the lips hydrated.

My Take On This Product:

I wanted to try Lakme Absolute range since I had seen its promotion pics.Everything looked damn impressive and the 16 hour stay claim was more thank enough to make me purchase this lipstick.I purchased it from Healthkart after few days of launching in the market.I was very confused in between Peach Carnation and Elegant Bloom shade, but at last ended up buying 'Elegant Bloom' which is a Pinkish Plum based lipstick.I am not very comfortable wearing plum based lipsticks but this looked good to me.

This lipstick comes in a Silver Greyish metallic casing which looks really classy and attractive.Seriously Lakme people have spent 99% of their time and effort in designing the look and pricing the Lakme Absolute Range, :p only 1% thought to its quality.

The tip of the Lipstick is slanted like other Lipsticks of their Day Wear range.The shade 'Elegant Bloom' has very fine golden shimmer which is though bit visible on the surface, is not visible on lips.This is not a pigmented matte lipstick.I prefer one swipe matte lipstick, which imparts opaque coverage with a single swipe.My upper lip is bit pigmented so I need some 3-4 swipes for opaque coverage.

This Lipstick should only be used with a lip balm underneath because without a lip balm, it settles in fine lines and pronounces the fine lines too making your lips  look severely chapped.I also noticed this lipstick fades from the corners of the lips and stays as a patchy uneven stain.With a lip balm the lipstick glides on like feather and gives a lightweight feeling.However after couple of hours, I find it getting patchy on my lips.Without a lip balm it totally dehydrates my lips.One thing I observed that very less product gets transferred to my tea cup after drinking tea.Its not a completely transfer resistant lipstick.

On an average, this lipstick stays on for 2-3 hours without a lip balm and 3-4 hours with a Lip balm underneath.Note I don't even have chapped or dehydrated lips.Overall I didn't like this range except the Moonlit Highlighter which I am going to review soon.
Forgot to mention its fragrance is very much similar to Britannia Orange Cream biscuits. :p

Pros Of The Product:

-Its a pretty pinkish plum shade.

-Its very light weight and feels nothing on lips.

-I prefer slanted tip for application.

-It can be carried well during day time too with single swipe.

-The metallic casing is very attractive.

-The information and pictures given in Lakme India website is so eye catching.

-Its transfer resistant, though not entirely.

-With a lip balm, it stays for some 3-4 hours on my lips.

-Quantity is good too.

Cons Of The Product:

-This Lipstick is not very pigmented, you would need 3-4 swipes for opaque coverage.

-It completely dehydrated my lips and makes my lips look chapped and unhealthy without a lip balm.

-Whenever I swipe more than twice for opaque coverage, the application was uneven and patchy.

-This lipstick faces from the sides of my lips in a hour and stays on mid portion of lips for 2-3 hours, which looks very odd and ugly.

-With a lip balm though initially the lipstick looks good, after few hours the application becomes uneven.

-Its not a single matte lipstick.

-It has fine golden shimmers too.

-I regret why didn't I buy the Peach Carnation shade instead of this.

-This shade is not everybody's cup of tea.

-Not suitable for day wear.

-I find this lipstick damn expensive for the bad quality.

-16 hours stay claim is completely over-hyped and false.

-Almost all shades in this range are mauve based.

Rating: 2.75 out of 5

Will I repurchase it? If all the lipsticks in the whole world are banned then yes. :p

My Overall Recommendation? I am sorry I don't want to recommend this range to anybody. :(

Me after a tiring day! :p

Lakme Absolute Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush 'Day Sheer'

Hello Friends,

Currently I am at home so thats why could splurge a bit on Lakme absolute range this week.I wanted to try their baked blushes since the day I saw several bloggers posting swatches of it.I wanted to buy the shade Night Sheen but it was out of stock so I ended up buying the shade Day sheer.So did the blush woo me completely?? Do read on to know more.

What The Company Says?

Have irresistible rosy cheeks with Lakme Absolute Cheek Chromatic Baked Blush. It contains antioxidants and Vitamin E which hydrates and rejuvenates your skin. You can so easily fall in love with the luminous Blush as you use this luxurious powder for a shimmering glow.

Night Look

• To intensify the shimmer, first apply absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse over face and neck.
• Then follow instructions for Day Look.

Price: Rs 550 for 4 Grams 

My Take On This Product:

Recently I checked the Lakme Absolute range of Chromatic blushes at Pantaloons.In blog world some said Day sheer is a matte blush, some said shimmery and some said its a pink blush so I was kind of confused how it actually looked like.I was going to place my order online but then decided to check out the blushes myself at the stores before purchasing.

So I would like to tell you all that after checking I found Day Sheer blush to be shimmery and Night Sheen to be a subtle peachy copper blush thats imparts nice sheen.I wanted to buy Night Sheen but didnt buy that day and decided to buy the next day.

 So next day when I arrived, the night sheen blush was sold, :( They had kept only one piece.So I ended up buying Day Sheer.

Day sheer blush comes in a pot with a transparent cover and a black attractive outer carton with a card mentioning instructions regarding application of blush during day and night time.
The blush is dome shaped and orangish- Bronze in color, Its a warm color which will suit Indian skin tones perfectly.The texture of the blush is quite soft in comparison with other baked blushes I have used till date due to which when you use a blusher brush, there is wastage of the product.Though the name is Day sheer, I can never think of wearing it during day time even in my wildest dreams. :p It has pronounced chunky gold sparkles distributed all over the blush.When I apply it on my cheeks, the blush looks pretty but the sparkles show prism like effect which I personally feel odd to wear it during daytime.During night one can wear it as blusher cum highlighter for sure.

Pros Of The Product:

-Very pretty orangish- bronze shade.

-This particular shade is apt for Indian skin tones.

-The texture of the blush is very soft and blends well.

-Its a pigmented blush, so you require just a bit.

-Staying power is near to 4 hours.

-Packaging and all is very attractive.

-It will work great as a highlighter.

-Its one of the cheapest baked blush available in the market.

Cons Of The Product:

-I cant ever think of wearing this blush during daytime.

-The sparkles are chunky and looks ott on my skin.

-The sparkles settles in my pores and accentuates my pores more.

-It kind of shows rainbow effect which I so dislike.

-The staying power of the color of the blush is very less.After two hours you are left with only the sparkles on your cheeks.

-Quantity is very less.

-The texture is soft, so there is lots of product wastage.

-Its damn pricy.

-I could not get any information from Lakme website regarding this blush.

-Very few limited shades are available.

-The lakme Absolute range is seriously over priced, over hyped and a total failure for me.Their matte lipstick was again a failure.

-Its not provided with a miror or brush.

-It will easily break if the blusher pot slips.

Rating: 2.75 out of 5 

Will I repurchase it? No way sweeties! I would not purchase a single product from Lakme Absolute Range anymore.I regret buying their blush and Matte lipstick Elegant Bloom.

My Overall Recommendation: Rather go for Night sheen blush but not for this one.It has sparkles that looks ott on skin.I wont recommend this costly blush to you people rather go for Deborah Milano baked blushes which are good for price and quantity at which they are available.
