My Experience With Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lipstick BLUSH BOOK MP 19
Packaging
It comes in a very classy looking, convenient, sturdy packaging.The outer cover is a good-looking rose gold colour metallic shade. Outer cover is a cardboard box, which has the lipstick details on it- mfg, batch no, ingredients ,shade name and number on it.
The metallic cover has a nice cap, which is tight at all times and keeps the lipstick safe. The lipstick roller seems loose when one shakes the lipstick but is sturdy and does not betray you even after it becomes old. Also, the lipstick can be rolled smoothly even with one hand.
One can find the lipstick shade printed on the bottom. There is no colour-coded packaging to distinguish between different shades if you have more than one.The lipstick top is flat and not pointed, which makes it difficult to apply if you have small lips.
Shade:
The Lakme 9 to 5 primer + matte has around 30 shades in total. We are discussing about the Blush Book shade MP19. The shade is a peachy pink shade, which may not suit all complexions. Best for Fair to Medium skin tones.
There is a slight tinge of bubble gum ink in it too. It does not have any kind of shimmer or glitter in it. I have rather pale lips so I use it with a bit of lip balm to make my lips look natural pinkish. and t does the job perfectly
Texture:
The texture is rather creamy and smooth. It does glide easily on the lips. But, is a touch slippery and does not stick to the lips in one go and have to struggle a bit with some layers so that it gets applied properly.It has a nice matte finish but does not dry the lips. Although if you have even the tiniest bit of dry/chapped lips it will settle in fine lines.
Staying power:
The lipstick as it claims 9 to 5 is only true if you do not eat. But, it does stay for a whopping 5 to 6 hours. The darker shades in this range have better staying power. This shade will not survive a heavy meal but does not go completely, a slight hint of the shade remains. If one is snacking, that it will survive. It bleeds when applied freshly but settles after a while.
