Lakme True Wear Twilight Mauve 103

Hola! It’s almost Friday once again! Time sure flies by fast these days. Today’s post is on another shade that my Didi brought back for me from her recent trip to India. Here’s Lakme True Wear Twilight Mauve 103.

Lakme True Wear Twilight Mauve 103

Twilight Mauve 103 is a very pretty mauve shimmer that has a slightly foil metallic finish. The color is almost like a dusty purple. Formula was smooth and decent. It dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

Lakme True Wear Color Crush 01

Hey guys! The weekend is fast approaching and this has been a relatively unproductive week for me. It gives me a chance to catch up on other things. Unfortunately, polish swatching is not one. I may get some done this weekend hopefully. Today, I have another shade from Lakme of India. Here’s Lakme True Wear Color Crush 01.

This particular shade didn’t have a name really. Just a number (01) and it is part of their True Wear Color Crush Collection. It’s a beautiful gold metallic shimmer shade. Formula is decent. It applied nicely and it dries pretty fast. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

Lakme True Wear Tarun Tahiliani 20

Hey guys! Happy Friday! Today’s post covers an international brand again. This time, I have a brand that I’ve never encountered before. My Didi (older sister in Hindi) brought it back for me from her last trip to India. I’m so lucky to have such wonderful co-worker siblings in my life. They put up with all my eccentricity, babbling and endless bursts of baking madness. Here’s Lakme True Wear Tarun Tahiliani 20.

Lakme True Wear Tarun Tahiliani 20

Tarun Tahiliani 20 is a shade from the Lakme True Wear Tarun Tahiliani Collection. Tarun Tahiliani is a famous designer in India. Just like how Sally Hansen has some designer collections, so does Indian cosmetics brand Lakme. Tarun Tahiliani 20 is a very pretty pink shade that has a glass fleck-ish shimmer. Or maybe foil metallic like the Zoya Surf Collection ones. Formula for this one is decent and it dried pretty fast. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

I love this shade. While I do have some other shades similar to it in my stash, this holds a special place in my heart cause my wonderful Didi brought it back for me all the way from her land of birth. ♥
