Lakmé and L'Occitane Haul
When visiting New Delhi, I usually don't buy much except for the occasional Lush haul. This time, thanks to Kas, I came armed with a shopping list of Lakmé makeup to CP for her and Mag. Lakmé is also available in Singapore at Mustafa but the selection can be unpredictable.
In New Delhi, Lakmé (which is owned by Unilever) is sold in department stores, alongside brands like Maybelline, Bourjois, Max Factor etc. The products are quite affordable with most costing under S$20. I was particularly impressed with the Eye Quartets from the fall "Gypsy" collection. These are actually made in Taiwan and retail for 425rupees each (about S$12.50). You can see the full Gypsy collection here.
The eyeshadows have a lovely metallic finish and good colour payoff. I also liked the vibrant colour combinations, which are relatively rare among masstige brands. The palette above is Tanjore Rush while the quartet below is Silk Route.
Moondust Eye Quartet, from the permanent line-up.
Also from the Gypsy collection is this lovely Black Satin Kajal. At just 150rupees (about S$4.50), this looks like an absolute steal!
The Lip Palette was the most expensive item in the Gypsy collection at 600 rupees.
The Earth Rose Blush Trio reminds me of a similar blush made by Estee Lauder some time ago.
True Wear Nail Colors (90 rupees each).
The Glide On Eye Colors in (left to right) Plush Purple, Peacock Green, Aqua Green and Metallic Black. These are made by Schwan Stabilo in Germany and retail for 275rupees each (S$8).
From left to right: Eye Magic in Gold, Jewel Sindoor in Maroon (for use on the scalp at the hair parting) and a Sheer Satin Lip Gloss.
At the L'Occitane store in Khan Market, I splurged on the Rose de Neiges (Snow Rose) Sugar Scrub, which comes with its own little wooden scoop. This is not available in Singapore (which only has the Rose de Neiges shower cream, body cream, hand cream and bar soap). The kind SA also included a generous number of samples with my purchase. :-)
Hope you've enjoyed this look at an Indian makeup brand!
