In part 2 of our Lakme Fantasy Collection Review, we wrote about the face products. In the third and final part, we give a roundup of the collection.
Lakme Enrich Satin Lip Colour
Colours: Mostly pinks, peaches and light purples
Price: Rs 225 each (available in 8 shades)
Review:
We tried three shades from the collection, and our favourite was No 131 (pictured above on left) which was a nude pink. I’d recommend this shade as a must-have for ALL Indian women. The lipsticks are what you expect from Lakme—last long but when they start to fade, you need to quickly touch up. All shades work well with our skin.
Verdict: 4/5
Lakme Eye Color Quartet
Colours in the quad: Dewy green, petal pink, gold pastels.
Price: Rs 425
Review:
While the green in this eye shadow palette is lovely, I don’t think so highly of the other shades. The pink reminded me a bit of last season’s purple eye shadow shade. Also, while the shadows are rich in pigment, they could go easier on the shimmer. After all, we we wouldn’t want the nudish shadow to shimmer too much at work. 🙂 Another issue I have faced with Lakme eye shadow quads: the colour “powder square” breaks after a while on its own. But if you intend to use the palette only till the next season, it won’t be a problem for you. On the upside, shadows stay in place for hours and are great for summer parties.
Verdict: 3.5/5
Lakme True Wear Nail Colour
Colours: Pinks, lilac, mauve (six shades available)
Price: Rs 90 each
Review:
I won’t write anything in this review—just show you pictures of their lovely shades. Gorgeous!
Verdict: 4.5/5
Lasting impressions of Lakme Fantasy Collection:
Lakme’s Fantasy Collection gives Indian women the versatility to try a variety of looks over the next few months, and all at an affordable price. I’m glad that Lakme has experimented with new products like the bronzer and multi-purpose eye pencils. Fortunately, most of the products in the collection deliver what they promise. Our two wishes? We would have liked to see orange in their range, as it is a hot colour this summer AND can work with Indian skin tones. Also, after last season’s Gypsy collection, we’ve seen plenty of shimmer and shine, so maybe some matte products would be good too.
Our final words: Good collection with some winning products.
