The formula is super pigmented and matte, you get an intense colour pay off in one swipe. It comes with a sharpener and is easy to sharpen and use, the clean point gives a nice edge to define the lips.
These are not transfer proof, but they stay pretty long. It has stayed on me for 5-6 hours minimum and fades after a full complete meal. It doesn’t vanish completely, but just fades and you can easily reapply it.
12 Baby Houseman is described as Deep Pink. It’s a gorgeous plummy pink, something that will work for all skin tones, even dusky skin tones.
13 Murphy Brown is described as Chocolate Burgundy and it is exactly that. This shade is perfect for fall and again would work for all skin tones.
14 Violet Crawley is described as Smokey Violet. It is a medium violet with grey undertones, not something everyone would like or can carry. This one is also slightly streaky.
Here are the swatches..
L-R: Baby Houseman, Murphy Brown, Violet Crawley
I love 12 and 13, would recommend getting both! 12 Baby Houseman would also work really well with Indian festive looks.
Today I am reviewing the 8 new shades added in the Nykaa Matteilicious Range, since I had not tried it before, I have also included a review.

Hot As Red
Next Level Nude
Pink on Fleek
Perfect Plum
Kiss N Tell
Purple Punk
Fired Up
Lacy Luck
Jade Rose
Mocha Sin
Twilight Dreams
Call Me Scarlet
They come in a standard lip crayon packaging, the difference between these and the Pout Perfect ones in terms of packaging is that Pout Perfect has a matching colour cap according to shade while this only has the bottom colour coded with a black cap and Pout Perfect doesn’t come with a sharpener, you need to buy it separately and this one does.
They have a smooth, velvet finish and glide on effortlessly as claimed. They have a velvet matte finish and are very comfortable on the lips. Everything as per claims.
These are not transfer proof and stay for about 5-6 hours without eating or drinking. These do not emphasize dry lips or fine lines, however you would need exfoliated lips before wearing these like any matte lipstick.
L-R: Kiss N Tell, Purple Punk, Fired Up, Lacy Luck, Jade Rose, Mocha Sin, Twilight Dreams, Call Me Scarlet
I have swatched all the new 8 shades here.
Kiss N Tell is a cool toned apple red, very flattering on all skin tones. I absolutely love this red on me.
Purple Punk is an aubergine purple, but this one is not super opaque like the rest. Slightly patchy
Fired Up is a bright tangerine orange, kind of patchy. Mostly such bright oranges are patchy across brands, I guess it’s the colour pigment.
Lacy Luck is a neutral brown, an everyday wear shade, would work for fair to medium skin tones
Jade Rose is my absolute favourite, a pink brown. It would work for all skin tones, an MLBB for deeper skin tones.
Mocha Sin is a very cool toned grey brown.
Twilight Dreams is another favourite, a deep berry brown shade without red undertones. A perfect fall shade.
Call Me Scarlet is a warm toned red, again suitable for all skin tones.
Apart from the light neutrals, all shades would work across skin tones. And I am glad they launched an interesting mix of shades.
My favourites are Lacy Luck, Jade Rose and Twilight Dreams. Also both the reds are quite pretty, and a matte red lipstick never goes out of trend.
Overall, I do like the lipsticks. Formula is great, shades are nice, very comfortable on the lips. I do recommend these.

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.
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
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.

Sugar Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick 02 Mary Poppins Review, Swatches
By Devika
Hi lovely ladies!!!
I hope you all are doing well in these bad summer days. As it’s said, if you are having a bad day, fix it up with a lipstick 😉 and when it comes to lipsticks, it’s hard to control and I end up trying every new shades and formula. Though I prefer neutral colors and remain loyal to soft pinks, browns and nudes I decided to go for a bold one this time by SUGAR COSMETICS MATTE AS HELL CRAYON LIPSTICK in No.2 MARY POPPINS and believe me it has become the most worn color of my life. So should you be giving it a try, let’s find out.
PRICE 799 INR for 2.8 gm.

PRODUCT CLAIMS
If excellent coverage and high color pay-off is what gets you going, you will absolutely love our new Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick that is available in 4 gorgeous shades to suit your taste & your ever-changing mood! Super long-lasting and highly pigmented so you don’t have to worry about constant re-application, this must-have crayon lipstick has a soft texture with a silky matte finish.
Ingredients:
SHADES AVAILABLE:
The company has very candidly sorted shades into following four:
Feeling confident & sexy? Flaunt a classic red pout with the Scarlett O’ Hara shade – that’s guaranteed to make heads turn
Want to go bare-faced with a pop of color? Say hello to Mary Poppins It is an eye-catching Fuchsia shade that can never go unnoticed
A classic shade that can instantly add a touch of mystery to your entire look, Poison Ivy is hot on the runway and a must-try shade for those who love to experiment. (Review & Swatches HERE)
Want to pull off dramatic eyes and come out as a winner? Holly Golightly is the way to go! This peachy shade goes well with elaborate eye make-up & can also be used every day for a natural look
All shades are universally flattering and would suit all skin tones.
PACKAGING
The lipstick crayon comes in a beautiful abstract art cardboard box with the shade name, ingredients and other information printed. As the name suggests it’s a non- retractable crayon lipstick which is black with matte finish. The bottom of the lipstick has a color coded band to depict the shade and is easy to locate in your stash. Brand and the shade name is printed in white.It has a pop up cap which fits in tightly though doesn’t close with a click .The packaging of these lipsticks is quite good, travel friendly .The tip of the crayon lipstick is pointed and sturdy. I don’t find them finishing or becoming blunt fast as they’re well pigmented. These come along with a chubby sharpener and it’s advisable to only use that to prevent product damage or wastage.
TEXTURE AND FORMULA
It’s a wax-based formulation and has soft smooth and moisturizing texture, easy to work with, glides smoothly on to the lips without tugging or pulling and settles into a matte finish without being patchy, neither do they dry up your lips But sometimes I do find it accentuating fine lines so I would recommend exfoliating and moisturizing your lips, as it will make your lips more comfortable while you have this lipstick on. It gas no peculiar smell or taste to it. I don’t find them becoming blunt fast as they’re well pigmented
PIGMENTATION
Impressive pigmentation as it only took me just one swipe to get an excellent color payoff. Color is buildable. Be very cautious in applying this as it gets difficult to get off the stain if in case it goes beyond the lip line. It does leave a stain post removal but I am okay with it.
SHADE
Mary Poppins no. 02 is an intense fuchsia color with blue undertones to it. It instantly brightens and pops up my face without having anything else on 🙂 Will look good on all skin tones from lightest to darkest.
STAYING POWER
It has good staying power. On me, it stayed on for good 5 hours with intermittent meals without any need of touchup. After that it starts loosing color from center of lips but can be fixed with a hassle free reapplication.
PROS
Lovely matte finish
Creamy and glides on easily on lips.
Super pigmented and non-transferrable
Lightweight formula
Stay on for at least 4-5 hours and the stain stays until you remove the lipstick with a makeup remover.
Do not dry or tug the lips but always use matte lipsticks on well exfoliated moisturized lips
Survive the meals easily
Sleek and travel friendly design
Tips are color coded so they are easy to store and locate.
Do not have any smell or taste to them.
Appropriate for most of Indian skin tones.
Does not bleed or feather out.
Does not contain mineral oil, parabens, paraffin, phenoxyethanols, volatile cyclomethicones (D4, D5, D6) and animal derived ingredients.
I love the unique and pun names given to all shades
CONS
The brighter shades of the lipsticks smudge after you eat a full meal. So you definitely need a lip liner underneath
Costly
Has to be sharpened that leads to product wastage but then I also understand that when the formula is this soft and creamy it’s difficult to put it in a retractable form
It does accentuates fine lines.
OVERALL
Overall, I am so badly obsessed with this lipstick crayon. I highly recommend it these if you are a matte lipstick lover. It is easy to apply, extremely smooth, super pigmented, stays on for long and does not make the lips uncomfortable. Price tag is a concern, but if you do not mind that, you must give it a try. The brand offers universally flattering and unique shades to try.
RATING 4.8/5
WILL I REPURCHASE?
Yes, I will end up buying all shades from this range soon. 😀
Stay happy stay gorgeous!!!
Editor’s Note: Absolutely agree with your review Devika. I have Poison Ivy and Holly GoLightly which I absolutely love. Holly Golightly I wear almost everyday! And as always, I love your pictures <3

Pink Glam
I am reviewing the shade Pink Caress and Tangerine Lush today. The packaging is same as the Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipsticks, silver body with a transparent cap.
It is sturdy and travel friendly, while I was swatching the lipsticks, I thought maybe the lipstick bullet may come off since I was going over it quite a few times, but it is sturdy enough and stayed put 😀
It has a slight sweet artificial smell which I did not like, but it goes away in a minute or two, and does not hamper.
Coming to the finish and texture, I would say I LOVE it! Perfect matte finish,goes on smooth, does not dry out the lips and feels very very light on the lips.
Only thing is you need to swipe 2-3 times to get the perfect opaque coverage. It stays on for 6-7 hours with minimal fading and survives tea and light snacks. It is not completely transfer proof, but I guess that’s ok.
L-Pink Caress, R- Tangerine Lush
While the Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipsticks were priced at Rs.800, I feel these are amazing comparatively at Rs.700. And with the quality these come with, I don’t mind the price at all since most of the new launches currently have been priced quite high by all the brands. (You know what I am talking about :D)
Up-Pink Caress, Down- Tangerine Lush
It is not as bright as it appears in the tube and swatches a bit different..both the shades are candy like and pretty young and vibrant
L-Pink Caress, R- Tangerine Lush
Pink Caress is a beautiful matte candy pink. My favourite of the two
Tangerine Lush is a medium orange,not to bright or neon or in your face. Quite wearable
Overall, I would say these are quite fabulous and I am in love with them! My current new love <3 Highly recommended!
Rating: 4.5/5
Also loving the shades Pink Me Up and Plum Shell.

Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Color Peony Goal Review, Swatches
I had mentionedabout 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..
