Be Talk: Lotus Herbals Pure Colors' Lipstick in Rosewood

Brand name: Lotus Herbals
Line: Pure Colors
Shade: Rosewood (No. 641)

Price: Rs 225

Lotus herbals houses some amazing lipsticks in all its ranges. So far I have about 5 lippys from the three ranges-Pure Colors, Moist Petals and Floral Glam-and I am smitten by the sheer quality of these line of lipsticks. I am also happy that an Indian brand can offer lipsticks of such high standards while keeping the price within the reach of everyone. A lotus lipstick doesn't need much effort to become your forever favorite. The colors are also an USP of this brand and most of them are suited to the T for Indian skin tones. Such a shade is Rosewood from the Lotus Pure Color Range.

Me Talk:

As good as the quality of the Lotus Herbals Pure Colors lipsticks are-there are also very pretty colors in this range that are most apt for everyday wear. Most of them have earthy touches-and pack the familiar colors of pink and maroon with a hint of difference. The colors-bright or nude-never look garish. The pigmentation is good-and gives almost opaque finish with one or two swatches. The Rosewood shade I found however-is little less pigmented than another shade-the peach creme -from the same line. Rosewood is a deep plummy pink color and although it has great moisturizing quality-this shade may have some problems with giving full coverage to pigmented lips as it is more sheer. This is evident fro the swatches below.

After about 3 swipes

Pro Side:
1) Very wearable deep plummy pink color-would look great especially on warm skin tones
2) Very moisturizing-almost like a lip balm combined in a lipstick
3) Most affordable lipstick considering the quality its offering!!!!
4) Fades evenly-and stays easily for 2-3 hours without meals-for this particular color-I have found the peach creme shade to be even longer staying
5) Very creamy and doesn't accentuate fine lines on lips
Down-side:
1) This particular shade is more sheer and does not efficiently conceal pigmented lips easily-In one word-its not a One Swipe lipstick

2) Due to its slightly sheer nature-its staying power is lesser than other shades like Peach Creme in this line
