Mars Lipstick Pencil Pack of 4

I don't own many lipsticks since I mostly work from home and only wear them for special occasions or events. Recently, I decided to expand my collection and, after reading a few reviews, I picked up a Mars lipstick set—my first time buying a set of four. The packaging was so appealing, and I instantly fell in love with the look of the lipstick pencil as soon as I saw it.

I purchased this online for ₹ 352. It has a shelf life of 4 years.

It has a creamy, smooth texture and provides a semi-matte finish. The pigmentation is good, and it has a pleasant fragrance too. On average, it stays on for about 3 to 4 hours. The design makes it easy to apply, and it doesn’t dry out my lips. It doesn't smudge easily, and I like to wear it over my lip balm for extra hydration.

I went with the Coffee Mix variant, but I’ve only been using 2 of the 4 shades, shades 22 and 24 because the other two don’t really suit my skin tone. Shades 21 and 23 are almost identical, and I regret spending money on such similar shades. I’m not sure what to do with those shades—they’re too dark for me, and I just don’t feel comfortable wearing them.

The brand has other variants you could try. This one works well for daily use, but I recommend choosing completely different shades. However, if you're looking for something extremely long-lasting, this might not be the best option for you.
