Well..Im from Singapore and I hear about all of you people complaining about the high cost of Lakme lipsticks.Over here, its really very cheap and other counter brands like Lancome and clinique cost really a lot.I think lakme lipsticks are of too dark a colour and make Indians with a brown complexion look darker. And also after using many Indian products like fair and lovely, Im not very intrigued to buy Lakme lipsticks or for that matter, any Indian products. Id rather buy more expensive and beneficial brands like Maybelline or loreal.I seriously advice lakme to review its shades of lipstick and the packaging doesnt look high-class at all.Its not a wonder that many western products benefit greatly due to their attractive packaging.
