Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipstick Pink Temptation Review & Swatches, Price
Hello Pretties
Lakme Gloss Addict Lipsticks were launched awhile back but its only now that I’ve had the chance to test it out even though I’ve had it for more than a month. Incase you’re interested do check out all the Lakme Gloss Addict Lipstick Swatches Here. Lipsticks or any other makeup product (unless its skincare) does not really need that many days to be properly tested but I have been so busy with my exams that barely had the time to touch this cutie.
Anyway, now that I’ll be a full time blogger you’ll see me reviewing products more frequently and much sooner coz afterall as beauty bloggers its our job. If we can’t promptly tell our readers that a latest launch is a hit or a miss then who will? DUH! So lets move on with the review 🙂

Packaging
The Lakme Gloss Addict Lipsticks come in a grey cardboard box which has all the necessary details mentioned on it. The lipstick itself has a transparent cap along with a sleek metallic grey body. Due to the transparent cap it gets much easier to locate a particular shade in hurry. Though the packaging seems alright but I have noticed that the cap is a bit loose and might just come off in your bag!
Shade
Lakme Gloss Addict- Pink Temptation is an alluring warm pink with a slight coral undertone. The shade is absolutely divine and perfect for summers! I love such fun pinks and I see this being a hot favorite among girls especially for a date! It should flatter light/fair skintone beautifully but will definitely look pale on those above NC40-42! However, you can make it work by pairing it with a bold eyeliner or light smokey eyes 🙂
Texture
These lipsticks score pretty well when it comes to the texture. It has a creamy and super hydrating formula which just melts onto the lips! It gives a glossy finish to the pout however I have noticed that Lakme Pink Temptation does tend to settle into fine lines a bit!
Pigmentation
Lakme Gloss Addict Pink Temptation is a sheer lipstick which can be built to a semi opaque pigmentation. I love such lipsticks as they are very wearable and make me look made up but not too made up. You know what I mean,right?
Lakme Gloss Addict ‘Pink Temptation’ does not give full coverage but does cover lip pigmentation to an extent. If you have heavily pigmented lips then sadly this won’t do much for you and you might require a lip pencil underneath.
Staying Power
The staying power of the Lakme Gloss Addict Lipstick is pretty average. Being a light color it lasts only 3 hours on me and since it does not stain the lips I require an immediate touch up. Pink Temptation does not survive a meal or a snack and I usually do not mind this aspect since I cannot expect a creamy lipstick to survive food but then for 800 bucks I was expecting much more!
Worth the price tag?
Though I adore the beautiful color, hydration and the glossy finish I do not feel that high price tag is justified. It lasts only 3 hours, settles into dry patches and is sheer which is a con for many(though not me). I much prefer the L’oreal Rouge Caresse Lipsticks even though L’Oreal ones do not have as tempting shades as the Lakme Gloss Addicts!
Pros
1) A gorgeous warm pink with a slight coral undertone
2) A fun, girly and peppy color which is perfect for a date
3) Extremely hydrating hence a boon for dry lips
4) Gives a lovely glossy finish to the pout
5) Sheer in pigmentation but can be built to a semi opaque finish
6) Comes in a huge variety of 15 shades!
Cons
1) The price is pretty high for Lakme. I would’ve adored this lipstick had it been around Rs 500-600 mark
2) The staying power could’ve been better
3) The cap feels a bit loose and might come off in you handbag/purse
HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict in Pink Temptation is a girly pink with a coral undertone. This would flatter fair to medium skin tone quite well and is extremely hydrating! I adore the glossy finish and how comfortable it feels on the lips but the price and average staying power turns me off 🙁

Thanks sweety!
The price is definitely not attractive!
Nicely reviewed
Thanks Rinu :)
Price ! why are these companies not even thinking of pricing anything below 800! looks like they got stuck on 800!
I know! Be it Lakme Revlon or Colorbar. They seem obsessed with that figure!
Price Price Price!!! Why Lakme?? Such a pretty shade..but the price sure is a bummer, with such less staying power. Looks fab on you though. Nicely reviewed.
Yeah thats true. For the price te staying power could've been much better :(
Thanks honey :*
LOvely pretty color but I can literally hear my wallet groaning at the sight of this high price !! :/ As you can see from all my comments the one thing that always puts me off cosmetics is their high price. :P
BTW, what does moving to full-time blogging mean? Will you be not be taking up a job after graduating?
mine too! I couldn't believe when i spent 4k and got only 3 lip products in the amount!
I highly doubt if the general publish(unlike bloggers) actually go ahead and spend this sort of money on it :p
Yes for now. the blog is doing extremely well(touches wood) so I want to give it an year after which I'll pursue my masters :)
Lovely lip swatches
Looking at the cons price is not justified but I totally love the shade <3
Me too :D The shades would probably tempt people into spending this amount of money!
