Why you should make it yours?

Unlike its chalky peers, this cruelty-free, and high-pigment formula is infused with Vitamin E for a soft, cushiony and flexible finish. The unique formulation ensures that your lips stay comfortable, colored up and matte-smooth all day. Another bonus: These vivid, full-coverage hues are hand-selected and named by our Inhouse Nykaa Panel, just in time for the festive season. The best part, they’re super affordable so you can go all out and buy the whole range.

Price: INR 399 for 4.2g

Availability: On Nykaa (HERE)

First of all, I love the packaging! It’s all black rectangular packaging with a magnetic cap. For the price, the packaging is very classy!

Also you get 4.2 g product which is the maximum one gets in a lipstick, and I am glad the quantity is good too.

They are super pigmented and you will need two swipes to get even, opaque coverage on the lips. The finish is creamy matte, so they are not dry or powder matte like the MAC Matte or the Chambor Matte Lipsticks. They glide on super easily and feel very comfortable on the lips.

They are not transfer proof and will transfer on all cups, glasses, etc. But the pigment is so strong, that it doesn’t fade on transferring. It stays put for 5-6 hours and with light snacks and tea. With a full meal and oil based food, it will fade. But it does fade evenly and leaves a nice stain behind.

At first, I only liked 3 shades thinking rest of the shades are the usual and nothing different. But when I tried them on, I was like I like this too and this too and it went on 😀

I have divided them into 4 each i.e. in 3 parts for convenience of swatches. Let’s start with the first four.

01 Notorious Red is a true apple red

02 Frisky Fuchsia is a bright fuchsia pink

03 Devious Pink is neutral rosy pink

04 Racy Rose is warm coral pink

Here are the lip swatches..

Coming to next 4..

05 Pink Brat is light rosy pink, might not look on pigmented lips

06 Sinful Blush is a carrot pink

07 Wicked Wine is a deep wine

08 Orange Vice is a warm, wearable orange..very Kylie Jenner like.

Here are the lip swatches..

And the final 4..

09 Pink Flirt is a neon coral

10 Mischievous Plum is a beautiful, deep plum

11 Naughty N*de is a perfect n*de brown shade, MLBB shade for many.

12 Taupe Thrill is again a pretty taupe brown n*de, another Kylie like shade

Here are the lip swatches..

Overall, I would say these are a total value for money! In terms of price, quantity, quality, shades, formula, they score on everything. Highly recommend them!

My favourites are Frisky Fuchsia, Orange Vice, Wicked Wine, Mischievous Plum, Taupe Thrill and Naughty N*de.
