Men may come and go...

But matte lips are forever...

Hey guys! Welcome to the much awaited blog post of Lips 'N' Gossips. I am Srotoswini Sarkar and here I present you with My Top 5 Matte lipsticks, all under Rs.300.

• Elle 18 Color Pops Matte Lipstick

A quite popular Indian brand, which presents us with it's own creation of matte lipsticks. There are beautiful 24 shades, retails at Rs. 100 and stays intact for 5-6 hours. Good pigmentation and gives a fair matte look without making your lips very dry. Very simple packaging. At this price range, Elle 18 surely did a great job with matte lipsticks.

I have the shade Pink Kiss. You may notice me wearing this shade in many of my Insta or Facebook dps. So recently one of my best friends got the shade Prom Pink. Needless to say we both love these shades.

• Menow Kissproof Soft Matte Crayons

These come in 19 shades and retails for Rs.100 each. They do quite a justice to their name! Thus, it doesn't come off if you eat or drink anything. Removing this lipstick might be a bit of hassle; otherwise for a really dry, matte look these lip crayons are really one of the best. But you will have to use a sharpener to sharpen it. I have the shades 4,7,9,14 and 15. I love these shades and so does my cousin sis, to whom I have gifted the shade 1.

• Kissbeauty Long Lasting Multicolour Matte Lips Lipbeauty

You say matte lipsticks, I hear Kissbeauty! These are surely rare to get. Priced at Rs. 160 in https://www.cuffsnlashes.com/ and Rs.140 in https://www.glamipick.com/ . These are a must try. Highly pigmented. Awesome 24 shades. If you want the whole set, check out Amazon for that. Stays on for hours, doesn't come off even after you take a bath. Sturdy and quite cute packaging is an addition.

• Blue Heaven Gossip Matte Lipstick

Another Indian brand presenting us with the driest matte lipstick ever! Comes in 12 different shades. Intensely pigmented and quite comfortable on lips. Doesn't feel like you are wearing any sort of lipstick at all! Quite smudgeproof and lasts upto 9 hours. Retails at Rs.150.

The only thing that puts me off about this lipstick is it's flimsy packaging, otherwise at this price it is quite a gem.

Shade 8

While we are at Blue heaven let's talk about another matte lipstick from the same brand itself. Titled at Non-Transfer Lip Colour, which retails at Rs. 205. This is a liquid lipstick and  I have used this from a cousin of mine.These are surely worth a try. Doesn't smudge or come off even after you have taken a meal. Intense colour which is available in 6 vibrant shades. It gives extremely smooth matte finish. Though it makes the lips stiff due to its extreme matte effect. Also has a bit of unpleasant smell which goes away after a while.

• Lakme Enrich Matte Lipstick

Priced at Rs. 300, Lakme brings us one of the best lipstick that a girl or woman should have. Not only as a matte lipstick, this would be among the top lipsticks that you'll love. 25 shades to match the Indian skin tones especially. Creamy matte texture and highly pigmented. It stays really long for 3-4 hours, until you intake any food or drinks. May have to reapply after that. But that can be kept aside if you don't want your lips to get much dry by your matte lipstick, cos this lipstick will definitely keep your lips moisturised. The sturdy and chic packaging steals my heart too!!!

Shade PM10

That's a wrap for today. Give these a try. Lemme know what is your favourite matte lipstick at this price range in the COMMENT SECTION BELOW.
