What the Company claims: Lakme Absolute Lip Tints include 8 pop shades. These thick creamy pencils deliver rich color and unbelievable shine in just a stroke.
Tip:
This is the best collection for the ones who want to look extra special this summer.
Why to choose Lakmé Absolute Lip Tints?
Rich color delivery
Unique 8 Pop Shades
Limited edition collection
It comes in a black swivel packaging with a plastic cap…and limited edition engraved on it..and the shade name behind..I did not like the packaging much..the plastic cap is fragile..and cannot even identify the shades if you have more..
Its quite creamy..but not too balmy kinds..thick enough..but needs a few swipes to cover up pigmented lips well. It does not have any particular smell or taste..but does not glide well on dry lips..
It takes some time to settle on the lips..and within half an hour or so..its like settled well all over with a glossy sheen..the glossiness goes away in a hour or so..but lips feel moisturised and comfortable..and the stain stays for 3-4 hours..
Pink Sorbet is a light wearable candy pink with some shimmer..not too neonish or bright..its a fun summery shade..the shimmer is hardly visible..it looks frosty in the hand swatch but quiet wearable on lips..I quite like the shade..
Here is it on me..sorry for the flash..it got too dark by the time I clicked this pic :/
Pros:
1. Quite pigmented.
2. Comfortable on lips.
3. Stain stays for 3-4 hours..after the glossiness and color starts fading.
4. All bright pinks and oranges..neon colors..good for the young crowd.
5. Does not bleed.
6. Travel friendly..it does not mess up in the bag..as its not too balmy and soft kinds.
7. Settles to a smoother finish after half an hour..
Cons:
1. Does not glide well on dry lips.
2. Expensive..if the colors were targeted for the young crowd..the pricing should have been lower too..Revlon is 200 bucks lesser and offers 0.7g more.
3. I expected it to stay even longer.
4. Packaging is not good.
5. Limited Edition.
Overall these are nice..pigmented and glossy and has fun summery shades..but I would have definitely preferred a lesser price..and these are limited edition..so if you have a favorite shade..go grab it now..I am not sure if I would repurchase..but you can have one in your collection..

These are jumbo lip pencils cum matte lipsticks…i.e lipsticks in jumbo pencil form..quite pigmented and stays put 3-4 hours..and even survives meals..it has a completely matte finish.
23 is a mauve pink with some brown undertones..a deeper pink on me..this can be a MLBB shade for many..especially who have dark pink pigmented lips.
It does require a lip balm underneath or else feels drying..but its quite light on the lips..it does settle in fine lines though but does not give dry or flaky lips as the Inglot Matte Lipsticks. Here is it on me..

7. Its not very drying or does not feel heavy on the lips.
8. Like the shades Inglot offers.
9. You need a big sharpener but it sharpens easily.
10. Paraben free and not tested on animals 🙂
Cons:
1. Since its a pencil, lot of product does go waste in sharpening.
2. Little expensive at Rs. 680/- for 3.8 g where some goes away in sharpening.
3. Inglot is not easily available.
4. You do need a lip balm underneath this and it also accentuates your fine lines.
Overall I do like this..though it accentuates fine lines and feels a little drying..a lip balm solves the problem..I love the matte finish and the staying power.
