Today, I have a beautiful red lip color to show you. It lasts and doesn’t break bank. Say hello to Lakme enrich lip crayon 01 Berry Red!
Product description:

My experience with Lakme enrich lip crayon 01 Berry Red:
Packaging: The packaging of the Lakme enrich lip crayon will remind you of your childhood crayons. Quite nostalgic, right? I love it when brands get creative with their packaging and don’t charge a bomb for it. You also get a sharpener free with each crayon! Since I got 9 shades to try out, my yearly supply for sharpeners is sorted out! A smart move from Lakme to tempt even those customers who frown at sharpening mechanism as it leads to product wastage. The shade name is mentioned on the crayon itself with other details. You can also pull out the bottom cap . I tried it 😛
Texture: The crayon applies easily with a moderate slip. It is creamy but also a bit waxy- not in a bad way though for the price it comes at. While the waxy texture doesn’t moisturize on its own, it does help in retaining the moisture on your lips. This is the reason why it feels a little heavy-nothing major though.
Finish: Semi-matte
Shade: Lakme enrich lip crayon 01 Berry Red for some weird reason looks cool-toned on my arm. However, on lips, it leans more towards being warm. If you’re looking for a red lipstick for dusky skin tone, do check this out. It’s so affordable!
Pigmentation: It covers the natural color of my lips fully. However, it’s not a full coverage shade. It goes uneven in the first layer. So, more than one swipe is needed.

Staying power: This berry red shade stays on me for 4 hours even with light snacks and drinks in between. It transfers quite less compared to the other shades I have tried till now from this range. It also stains the lips mildly which I find helpful as after having a full meal, I hate to see the prominent lip line around the mouth. Nonetheless, I always like to re-touch up after having a heavy meal as I detest the uneven application and dry look.
Please give it at least 30 minutes to settle down before you start drinking/eating. You can also try the blotting method to prolong its wear time.
Summary:
Lakme enrich lip crayon 01 Berry Red should suit a variety of skin tones. It glides on easily and is semi-matte in finish. As for longevity, it lasts for 4 hours with light meals in between and since it also stains, your lips aren’t left colorless. Product wastage is the only issue I see here.
It has to be the best affordable lip crayon in India from a reputed brand.
