Lakme Haul (Indian cosmetic) UK

hello,

i have been meaning to do do this haul for along time, but got side tracked by all other things in like uni, work, family etc.

not so long ago i found a online site which sold all lakme stuff, and got super excited, as this is a Indian brand and can be obtained if you visit India, its considered to be high end drugstore brand produced by company unilever, all of their cosmetic is geard towards south asian skin type, which lead me to belive that i must have this no matter what, its difficult finding the right foundation that suits indian skin, because most foundation out there make you pink and ashy even if you think yellow base foundation is nessary to stop ashyness.

all of their products smell fruity,

am still trying the products out, however its difficult to order things online, not knowing what foundation is suitable, or blush colour, chances are what they look like on the colour chart/picture, they would not truley represent the actual colour.

i dont like the lip colours or the eyeshadows, they are so finely milled and pressed, that you have to rub the applicator to get the pigmentation pay off.

nail polish ... well i wish i could ave made a better colour selection, theres so many to choose from, and i didnt want to repeat colours in my already got selection boo hoo... anyhoo their nail polish are good, and dry quick.... just wish the actual colours not just for nail polish but for all to represent actual true like picture on any website i came across.

however their foundation ....hmmm i thought it was a WOW factor... sadly they look yellowy/ orange but still look ashy on my skin, but i could try mix two foundation or i might need a darker colour. however i don't really like the smell of the foundation its fruity, but can imagine if one day bacteria got into it.... it would smell worse and rotton...lol

the things i liked was the jewel shindoor its a maroon colour but looked rather red to me lol?

but i liked all the blushes, when i used them i get the sense of feeling of being indianistic, that feels like its totally catered towards your skin type for sure. (i probably use gingerly surprise on my wedding day)

i still believe lakme still has to improve if its targeting the market segment aimed at those who live at hotter climate, by infusing SPF and improve their foundations and the true capture or representation of any colour of their makeup... because it had my head battered thinking about it!

the website i brought things from actually charged me twice, and i had repeats of product purchase in cart, so you have to be careful double check the items in basket... which made be very annoyed and was not happy... i would rate them 2 out of 5* because of the functioning and layout and presentation of pictures of product true colours. slightly confusing when choosing lipstick colour.

bonus if its free shipping worldwide! but you don't get much communication from them until items are shipped, but the shipment process is quick!
