The best affordable Lipsticks
I have dry lips, so I am always scared of trying matte lipsticks. That is the only reason I have not tried the Lakme 9 to 5 range until recently. The shades from this range are so tempting and apt for daily wear that I could not resist to buy it when I saw a discount on it in purplle.com. My first buy was Toffee Nexus. I have wheatish skin and this shade is a perfect nude for my skin tone. When I first saw the lipsticks, I fell in love with the cute but sturdy packaging. Then I tried it on my lips. I must say I was quite impressed with the smooth texture of the lipstick. It glides effortlessly on the lips. Though you need 2-3 swipes to cover pigmented lips (like mine), it gives good coverage. Once you apply it will soon settle into a nice smooth matte finish. It is afterall a matte lipstick so it will make the dry lips feel drier. But the dryness can be easily overcomed by dabbing any of your favourite lip balm (mine is maybelline baby lips coral crush). The lipstick lasts long enough so that you can manage the whole day at the office without touch up, provided you snack or eat carefully. The lipstick is not transfer resistant. So you can see the colour on your paper cups. If you dab little lipbalm before sipping into your coffee or eating lunch then the you can improve the staying power of the lipstick. Finally, you can get amazing staying power if you apply Loreal shine crease lip gloss (I use pretty women with brown shades and loita with pink shades) on top of the lipstick. Believe me it had passed 10 hours test for me. <br/>Overall, Lakme 9 to 5 is a great lipstick if you are looking for a daily office wear lipstick in subtle shades. if you team it up with Loreal shine crease lip gloss, it becomes better than many expensive lipsticks.

Nice shade for day wear
It is a combination of brown and pink shade and is perfect for day wear. It makes a very nude color on your lips but looks appealing on fair skin. It makes lips dry during winters so you may want to top it up with a gloss.

Very Chalky :(
This product was new but this color is more like chalky and you don't even get the exact shade. In short this would only suit on a few skin types. I would not recommend it.
