Swatch:





As you can see in the above pictures, even after keeping my hand under running water and blotting the swatches with a tissue paper, the swatches have not wiped off completely.

My experience with the product:

This particular brand is available only on Goodlife. Florelle has got an amazing collection of cosmetics at a very affordable price. At first I was not sure about this brand as it was unknown to me but then I decided to give it a shot as I was looking for a matte lipstick with a reasonable price tag and this lipstick seemed to match my requirements.

The packaging of this lipstick is beautiful. I love the metallic feel of the outer case. The red colour is attractive, very feminine. This lipstick has a nice floral fragrance and not the typical chemical type smell. I’ve never come across any lipsticks having a scent like this one. But it goes away soon after application.

This particular shade is a nice pink colour which will suit medium and fair skin tones better. This is the perfect pink shade I was looking for.


Since this is a matte lipstick, it is very important to exfoliate your lips prior to application of this lipstick, as this lipstick tends to accentuate dry patches. Also, a lip balm is a must or else the lips feel dry. This lipstick glides smoothly over a lip balm. Just one swipe gives a rich colour. I do not swipe it more than twice as the colour turns too dark. Well, the colour choice (whether light or dark) is according to each one’s preference.

I love this lipstick for its excellent staying power. It stays put on my lips for more than 5 hours and after that fades away evenly leaving a nice pink tint. It even stayed put after having two meals in between. The colour does transfer a bit onto cups or glasses.

In conclusion, I would recommend this lipstick to everyone. Even if you have dry lips, a lip balm will solve the problem. At a price tag of 340 INR it is absolutely worth it as due to its rich colour pay off it will last long.

Pros:

1. Cost effective
2. Rich colour pay off
3. Attractive packaging
4. Stays on for over 5 hours
5. Will suit most skin tones
6. Floral fragrance

Cons:

1. Availability
2. Lip balm is a must

Rating: I would rate this product 4.5/5
