Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Color Peony Goal Review, Swatches

Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Color Peony Goal Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about the new Lakme 9 to 5 Office Stylist Range HERE

Peony Goal is one of the lipsticks from this new range..

What the Company claims: Lakmé 9 to 5 range consists of a wide collection for daily office wear with subtle shades that require no touch-ups through the day, providing an impeccably styled look and allowing a hassle-free transition from the desk to the office party.

Combines amazing comfort with staying power that keeps you looking fresh for hours. With a long-wearing comfort technology. Offers a creamy color with Colorfix technology. Ensures 10 hours of intense crème color.

MRP: Rs.400/- for 3.6g\

Shades Available:

15 shades bifurcated into reds & browns and pinks & mauves..

I quite love the rose gold packaging..chic case with slight rounded edges..and it clasps tight..I love the names too..ending with Goal, Slip, Break, Drill, Management, Play,etc..all corporate language..

Peony Goal is a mauve pink brown with gold shimmer..an everyday shade..quite close to MLBB..it has a soft matte finish..these glide on quite smoothly..and are super soft..

As these are meant for work..this shade is perfect for work wear..plus the soft matte finish is also quite formal..it has a sweet smell which goes away in a minute or so..

This shade stays on for 3-4 hours..I am a little disappointed with the staying power..since its the 9 to 5 range and is supposed to stay longer..but the deeper shades in this range seem to stay longer and leave behind a stain..

Here is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. Soft matte finish…quite smooth in texture.
2. Chic packaging.
3. Economical
4. 15 shades to choose from.
5. Travel friendly..it clasps tight.
6. Though its matte..its not drying or uncomfortable on lips.

Cons:

1. I prefer it sans the shimmer.
2. Expected it to stay longer.

Overall I would say I loved the finish of these and the packaging too..I like this shade but sans the shimmer..I would surely check out other shades in this range..Do recommend it..especially for work wear..I would like to check out Pink Slip or Tea Break..

I have a few of them with me..I am going to review some and some are going to be with a few lucky ones from you 😀 So, yes there is a contest coming up..

To start with, I love the packaging of these..the matching ends look pretty..and so does the swivel up bullet..but ends up getting on the edges :/

There are some totally matte and some with fine shimmer that give a slight glossy sheen..

I am reviewing Muse and Preview today..would be reviewing two more soon..

Muse

It has a sweet smell..which goes away in few seconds..the lipstick glides on smooth..and comes up sheer in one swipe and can be builded..and is completely opaque in 2-3 swipes..once set..it stays and stays put whole day..

Preview

It feels sticky on lips..and sets to a matte finish within an hour..and then looks like a pretty matte stain the whole day…I think this is by far the longest any lipstick has stayed on me..

T-B: Preview, Muse

Muse is a super pretty bright fuchsia pink..it brightens up my face and I soo love this shade..

Preview is a warm mauve pink with some shimmer..an everyday shade..something you can wear to your office too..

My only issue with this, is that it feels a little sticky and heavy on lips and fades unevenly at the end of the day.

You can see how Muse looks  on me after every 3 hours below..

L-R: On application, After 3 hours, After 6 hours

Pros:

1. Pretty packaging.
2. Super pretty shades..all 20..there is one for everyone.
3. Gives a nice matte polished look.
4. Stays put whole day !
5. Leaves a super pretty stain.
6. Does not smear or bleed.
7. Clasps tight and it clicks shut when swiveled up or down..travel friendly.

Cons:

1. Fades unevenly at the end of the day..vanishes from the centre.
2. Feels a little sticky and heavy.
3. Expensive..and that too qty is 2.55g 😮
4. Feels a little dry after 2-3 hours.
5. One needs a good cream based makeup remover to remove it completely.

Overall I would say its not the best long staying lipstick out there..but if you are someone on whom no lipstick stays for long (like me), this is definitely a welcome change. Only thing is you have to bear the little dryness and stickiness. But but I lovee the pretty shades..all pinks, corals, oranges, reds..especially the pinks are totally my kinds..love Muse !! I would say if you love any shade of these or you are the types who like long staying matte lipsticks, you should check these out..but do try it out at the counter and let it stay for an hour or so before buying..coz it flaked off on many and has mixed reviews.
