Priced at 995 INR each. The lipstick formula itself is a satin finish, so is super long-lasting. Tonight for a function, I wore it and it easily survived heavy meals. Price is on the higher side . But, I feel its still ok as most of the brand lipsticks are priced at 2-2.5k

I’d recommend using a lip liner with these just to get a really clean finish and pop a bit of lip balm underneath to prevent any dry feeling at the end of a day’s wear. About the formula- Its matte just  Enjoy the swatches! All swatches are taken in natural daylight without flash.
