Lakmé Perfect Radiance Multi-mineral Skin Lightening Compact – Beige Honey (05) Review

GOSH! It is soooo soooo hot here. While I am writing this, I feel like a melting-down-ice-cream, if you know what I mean!! But since I can’t spare you guys and had to torture you with my blog posts :P, so here I am with another one.

Today I am about to review one of my recent-buys compact: Lakmé Perfect Radiance Multi-mineral Skin Lightening Compact in the shade Beige Honey which the SA selected for me saying it is perfect for “pink”ish complexion…that’s a first one I heard. Anyway, being a kind soul :P I obliged and bought it and bless the SA..I was not disappointed!

The compact does give a radiant look and it is better than the previous versions of Lakmé compacts in quality I felt after using it. Why so? Well read on..

PRICE: Rs.150

QUANTITY: 8 gms

INGREDIENTS: Not listed. Only except the following info on the back.

MY EXPERIENCE:

I apply it on my bare face (moisturised but no foundation). After a few minutes of application it gives a nice dewy look which I like and wished it stayed for longer hours. But due to perspiration (I do profusely if humidity goes up a notch) it doesn’t stay like that for long.

WHAT I LIKED:

• Love the effect it produces after application as said above.
• Blends on skin perfectly.
• The shade is perfect for my skin tone (fair to wheatish with yellow undertones).
• Didn’t give a cakey look.
• Nice subtle smell. Nothing OTT.
•  Didn’t clog pores.
• Has got SPF 20 so acts as a good sunscreen. But I can’t emphasize the claim because I don’t get tanned on the face easily.
• Didn’t break me out. (I get break outs but I can’t blame it upon this because I got them prior to using this product).
• Comes in a sturdy compact case with touch-up mirror attached inside. The case comes again in a packaged box. Lakmé is seriously improvising their packaging . I also like the colour and design of the package.
• Price is pocket friendly, though quite high than their previous compacts.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• The applicator puff is of the worst quality I think. It is so thin that I think if I try to wash it, nothing would remain of the puff.
• A bit of perspiration and wiping it off leaves nothing of the compact behind. So, good for dry weather only.
• Doesn’t give any coverage to blemishes or marks but then doesn’t highlight them also.
• No complete list of ingredients is given.

VERDICT:

A nice compact and is quite suitable for my skin. So, I like it very much. And of course the brand is one many counts upon. You would get the Maybelline Whitestay UV compact for the same price. But I would recommend you to try this.

RATINGS: 4 out of 5.
