Having already reviewed Coffee Command and Pink Bureau, this is the final review of the third one. This is my first post on Cosmochics one of my favourite blogs!!!

My experience with Lakme 9 to 5 Scarlitt Drill

The lipstick is an earthy brick red-orange shade with a hint of pink in it; actually a mixture of orange, brown and pink. I love the colour and it would suit all Indian complexions particularly darker skin tones. It is a daily office wear shade. It’s much pigmented and just one swipe would hide even the most pigmented lips. I love the texture as well. It’s creamy in texture which, turns into matte but goes very smoothly on lips and never feels dry. Staying power is great too as it stays more than 5 hours on my lips without heavy meal. After heavy meal it leaves a tint but I found it uneven, so would suggest re-applying it. I don’t like the fragrance which is unpleasant.

COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.6/5

 “INFO ON A SILVER PLATTER”– Lakme 9-to-5 Lipstick Scarlitt Drill is a very pretty shade which would suit all skin tones. It is very good in terms of pigmentation, texture and staying power. It gives matte finish but does not dry your lips, in fact feels very light on the lips. Highly recommended!
