The date of manufacturing and product expiry are mentioned at the base of the case. Make sure you pick out the freshest stock of lipstick.
The lippies have a very faint citrusy-fruity fragrance. But the older stock of lipsticks have a nasty waxy smell, so double check the manufacturing date, before buying.
The tube contains 4 gram of lipstick and is priced at INR 250/- !! *does a happy dance*
The shade is a medium brown with a hint of dusty rose.The lipstick is very creamy and goes very sheer on first swipe, almost a MLBB shade for dusky Divas.The shade LC 161 is a universally flattering shade, it will look great on most Indian Skin tones, a single swipe gives a sheer hint of color and will look great on lighter skin tones, 3-4 swipes would give a shade perfect for medium to duskier skin tones.
The color is quite sheer but build able,the texture is very creamy but it doesn't melt or feather too much.The swatch below is 3-4 swipes.The staying power is about 2-3 hours. It fades with a light tint behind, so your lips carry on with a hint of color.
