In the battle between glosses and lipsticks I am not sure where I stand. I hoard both lipsticks and lip-glosses and love them both. Adding to my collection is Lakmé Absolute Plump & Shine 6 Hr 3D Gloss in Crimson Shine. Was it a ‘Yay’ or a ‘Nay’ – read more to find out!
The product claims to “Marine collagen and high shine pigments come together in a new revolutionary 3D gloss to help keep lips plump and hydrated and last up to 6 Hours.”
My Experience with Lakme Absolute Plump And Shine Lipgloss Crimson Shine
Packaging & Quantity
Lakme Absolute Plump And Shine Lipgloss Crimson Shine comes in a standard tube packaging with a doe-foot applicator. The cap has a nice glossy gun-metal feel to it. The colour shade is printed on the cap; I wish it were printed on the bottom or the body of the gloss, as it is barely visible on the cap.
Colour
Crimson shine is a mild red with a tinge of orange. It borders between red and coral. When worn sheer or as a tint it looks coral. When worn with full intensity it looks reddish orange.
Application & Experience
As much as I love the shade I found it quite difficult to work with. The gloss is slightly on the watery side and tends to bleed a bit. The applicator doesn’t pick up enough products and the gloss doesn’t spread easily. I wouldn’t say it is all con, there are some qualities I like about the gloss. The gloss gives the lips a mildly plumped up feeling lightly moisturising at the same time. I didn’t find it sticky either. I love products, which work well in full colour and as tints, and this gloss works amazingly as a tint. I would say I love the tint version more than the full colour. Overall, I found Lakme Absolute Plump And Shine Lipgloss Crimson Shine to be average – Nothing great to rave about.
The Good
- Non-sticky and mildly moisturizing
- Gives a plumped up effect
- The gloss fades after mild snacking but leaves a beautiful tint behind
The Bad
- Bleeds a bit
- Shade label not easily visible
- Applicator doesn’t pick up enough product
- Doesn’t live up to 6 hour claim
Overall verdict: 3.5 / 5
Price: Rs. 450/- for 3 ml

The shade is pretty. The orange adds the charm.
The product seems to be not much pigmented. Seems like just an average one.

I can’t say give it a try or skip it. It is stuck somewhere in between.

I prefer this with most of my lip products. I like tints a lot.
I have a nude color from this range which I use it on top of lipsticks, and as you said it’s just an average one, I prefer Revlon lip glosses more

But the colours in the range are nice. Wish the quality was better.
i wanted to try out an orchid shade from this range but I always felt it was a bit to pricey, despite the cons I think I will purchase it during discounts. I love the shade range too…

Nice idea. Better to buy during sales.
Love your honest review. I like gloss for the Summer and lipstick for the Winter. Nice dark berry tones for the coming Winter I think X

Thank you.
This looks like a really lovely shade for everyday wear. Love the swatches. 🙂
Thanks Astha. The shade adds just enough pop that you can wear it everyday.
I had expected it to be a bit more pigmented but sadly its not so I think I will skip it as naturally I have pigmented lips.

So average means in a scale of 5 you rate it 2.5… yes sad it does not stay upto 6hrs as claimed.

The shade is undeniably pretty. But it tends to bleed and isn’t as easy to get an even application.
The shade looks lovely, I expected it to go more pigmented on lips. 🙂
