Packaging
The Lakme 9 To 5 Primer + Matte lipstick comes in a shiny, rose gold metallic finish packaging in a cardboard box. The tube looks very attractive, and it also feels nice to hold. Its cardboard cover contains information like its shade name, price, and manufacturing date. The tube also has the shade name mentioned on a sticker at the bottom. Overall, its packaging is simple, elegant and functional. The cap secures the product well, and you can easily carry it around in your bag without the fear of the tube opening up.
Ingredients
Its full ingredients list is not mentioned anywhere. However, Lakme claims that the key ingredient of this lip color is primer, which ensures that the lipstick provides smooth application and comfortable wear all day long.
Texture And Fragrance
This lipstick formula has a smooth and creamy texture that glides easily on the lips without tugging or pulling. Its soft finish does not feel patchy on the lips, and it never highlights dry patches on my otherwise dry lips. It feels light and comfortable to wear, and I would say it’s perfect for daily wear – you can easily wear it to work or college without feeling like you have a heavy product on your lips.
It has a mildly sweet fragrance that fades after some time of application. Even if you’re sensitive to smell, this will not bother you.
Pigmentation And Efficacy
I was very impressed with its pigmentation. The color is super saturated, and even a single coat will leave you with a fully opaque finish. Its formula feels high quality and does not leave an annoying stain like some matte lipsticks tend to do. My lips feel soft and moisturized after applying this lipstick, and it never smudges or bleeds! Also, the formula never settles into creases and fine lines, which is the sign of a good lipstick.
Staying Power
This stays on easily for 5-6 hours, and it can decently survive a meal. However, after a heavy meal, it does tend to fade away from the centre of the lips, so a slight touch-up is required, which is not much work as this is so easy to apply. Also, the lip color never looks messy on the lips. It’s easy to remove – a wet wipe will do the trick instantly.
