BeCute Lipsticks
Lipsticks are perhaps my favorite makeup products. I had to
get stitches on my upper lip when I was young and that resulted in my upper lip
being darker than my lower one. This might not bother many people, but I like
having something on my lips that would cover it up. Since I have quite an
aversion to lip-glosses, lipsticks are naturally the next option.
I got myself some Becute Lipsticks the other day and since
they only retail for PKR Rs. 190 I got three, thinking that even if they don’t
turn out to be all that great I won’t be wasting too much on them anyways.
These lipsticks really are pretty great for everyday use and
although they aren’t the MOST moisturizing lipsticks out there they are very
easy to apply using a lip balm or chap stick underneath. The sucky part about
these lipsticks that may or may not bother many is that they have number
instead of names, ugh!
With Becute lipsticks you get 4.2 gms of product for Rs. 190
which is quite good seeing how Luscious Cosmetics gives you 3.5 gms for Rs. 540.
What I noticed while swatching these lipsticks in store is that the darker
shades are much more smoother and moisturizing compared to the lighter colors
but it’s nothing that problematic and all you need to fix the problem is a good
lip balm. The staying
power is for a good 3 hours and upon application the lipsticks have a cream
finish.
Anyways, the first one is 314 which is the darkest one that
I purchased and I find it to be a dark pink that is almost red. This lipstick
is incredibly easy to glide on and the most moisturizing out of the three I have.
Next is a comparatively less red but still pink shade which
is number 430. Once again this isn’t a drying lipstick but using a lip balm
underneath would make application incredibly easier. This shade reminds me of
Creamy Rose by Luscious Cosmetics.
Lastly, we have number 341 which is the nude shade that I
got and the one that I use and love the most out of the three. This is
undoubtedly one of the few nudes that would work beautifully on Pakistani skin
tones. Most nudes tend to wash me out but this one doesn’t which I’m really
glad for. Although it’s my favorite out of the bunch, it is the least
moisturizing. I slather on lip balm before applying this
and ta-da!
SUMMARY-
Stays on for 3 hours.
Great color selection.
Incredibly affordable at Rs. 190/piece
Has a bit of a crayon like scent (only if you pick up the
lipstick to smell it, not otherwise)
Sturdy packaging (although not the most eye catching)
So that was my review on the Becute lipsticks. Let me know
what you guys think in the comments below and are there any other great
lipsticks in the market that I should be trying out? Thanks.
Until next time, tc :)
