Hello Girlies,

How's your Thursday coming along??? Mine has started on a good note for now, let's see how things progress...

Today I am reviewing a product which has become a favorite of mine and will continue to do so for the coming years. Read on to know more...

So, the pic above says it all, the product I am talking about is Lotus Herbals PureStay Long Lasting Lipcolor in Apricot Bliss.

Price: INR 495 for 4.2 gm of product. Packaging is super cute, with the lipstick encased in a satin pouch. The lipsctik bullet itself is encased in a metallic frame which looks very sleek and classy.

Below is the total length of the lipstick bullet:

I am totally in love with this lipstick. It's matte, it's light, it's non-sticky, doesn't bleed and has lovely colors. These lipsticks are available in 11 shades, all of them lovely and awesome, but I choose this one 'cause I didn't have anything like this shade in my vanity. The color is super gawjuss, I love it, makes me look polished and sophisticated at the same time.
The lipstick is matte, yet super creamy, doesn't dry your lips till the time it is there. The lipstick sets to a matte, transfer resistant finish within minutes of application and after that doesn't transfer to cups or paper. The formula is really good and doesn't settle in fine lines, in fact it made my lips appear plumper and fuller after application. Even after hours of wear and fading it doesn't accentuate the fine lines on the lips. The lipstick is very light weight in texture and after 10-15 minutes you don't feel anything at all on your lips. It survived meals, snacks, drinks and everything for the first 2 hours after which it started fading a little, but a strong tint remained for a good 5-6 hours. Such quality at such price is really awesome.
One and only thing that bothers me is the smell of the lipstick, I can't pinpoint on it but smells like some cream, and I not liking it so much. the smell stays for a long time as well, for a good 2-3 hours. But the smell is mild and is a matter of personal preference. With such good quality and lasting power, I can safely ignore the smell.

Product rating: A, available at Lotus Herbals counters for now, would highly recommend this range to all makeup lovers out there, this is one purchase you won't regret ever. Personally I am looking forward to buying more of these in a lot more shades and colors.
