This is not the first time that
I am reviewing a 7 Heaven product. Ironically, this lipstick was
my first purchase from this brand but I never paid attention to it because I
bought this color exclusively for my sister, who is into reds and magenta
pinks. Since I bought two different lipsticks, she kept the other one and this
one was made to sit in a corner in my cupboard. After my nice experience with 7 Heaven Photogenic Chubby
Lip Crayon, I thought of taking it out at least to see its swatches.
Let’s focus onto its
packaging. This lipstick comes in sturdy black plastic while has slightly weird
texture. It always makes me feel as if it was kept in dust. The cap has
transparent colorless plastic on its top so that you can distinguish the color
from other shades. Though the plastic is sturdy but the closing of this
lipstick is troublesome. It does not shut tight enough, because of which my
lipstick broke and has turned into a mess! I had just taken it out from my
back, the lid was closed, and suddenly it slipped out of my hands. The lid came
off somewhere in between my hand and floor; and it fell straight from its
slanted edge.
Shade
number 20 is a dark maroonish red which is perfect for complementing Indian
skin tones. I have two red lipsticks, but honestly, this one is closest to
blood red color. On initial stages it looks a bloody red, then after an hour it
starts to lighten and turns into less intense red. The texture of this lipstick
is not buttery smooth; yet, it does not tug at your lips. On application the
lipstick’s texture feels slightly like that of a matte lipstick; but on lips it
does look drying at all. I even happened to notice little crumbles when I was
swatching it on my hand for clicking review pictures.
This lipstick retails at Rs
100 for net weight of 4 gram. There is no mentioning of either the M.R.P. or
ingredients list. But, the packaging claims that it has vitamin E into it. If you are unable to find
these in your local beauty stores, then you can get your hands on these in Sarojini Nagar market and Lajpat Nagar as well (there
they might give you this for Rs 60).
I was so amazed by this color
that I asked my closest friend to try it out and I clicked so many pictures of
hers. It looked incredible on her as well. Since she liked it so much, I
am definitely gonna gift a brand new one to her. This was a first intense
colored lipstick that I tried out; because I stay away from such bold colors.
This lipstick can fare you 2 to 3 hours, if you don’t snack upon anything. It
does transfer color, but it doesn’t bleed. It is very easy to wipe off. You
have to be careful with it, if this travels along with you in your vanity

RATING- 3.5 out of 5
Mine
broke from edge; but I fixed it up. For such an inexpensive rate, it fares well.
