#Opinion- Aish's Lilac Lipstick at Cannes'16

I have been inactive for almost a year, but I had boards and a very hectic schedule. Now that I have the time, I'm back to being active :) Or atleast trying 


First things first, the shade is NOT Purple. Purple is darker. Way darker than that, and it doesn't stand out the way the one Aish wore did. I'd rather call the shade she wore Lilac.
From what I hear, the lipstick she wore is by L'oreal, and not available in India. I don't know if one can order it online and import it in India, but I checked the major Indian B2C websites, and it isn't available there.

On the other hand, we do have some dupes of that shade available in the market. M.A.C. happens to have one of the closest ones, but I don't know the name of it. M.A.C has quite a few shades on the Lilac/Purple side, so there's pretty much a lot of variety if you're interested.. In my opinion though, do not splurge on M.A.C. The major reason is the fact that they test their products on animals, and I do not support that, and believe that no one should. I own one M.A.C. lipstick and it will be my last M.A.C product until they stop this abuse. Animals are living creatures too. The innocent creatures do not deserve such torment. One can be a little compassionate and avoid M.A.C products.
The second reason is that M.A.C products are,in my opinion, really pricey. I think a lipstick is for a minimum of INR 850, which is a lot. Though if you're willing to spend that much on ONE product, and can live with the fact that a few animals died so that you can use this product, then you can go ahead and give it a try.

Personally, I didn't really like the shade she is wearing, so I didn't go out trying to find a similar shade. The reasons for it is, it's too bright a shade for my liking. Now I do own some neon shades,but those are in oranges and pinks,and can go with a few outfits here and there. I don't think Lilac is going to go with any of my outfits. Nor would I like wearing a Lilac one, for that matter. Aish sports it well, and I can see a few people drooling over it on social media, but I think it's a shade that won't suit a majority. Moreover it will stand out, whoever wears it regardless of their skin tone. I, thus, do not believe on splurging on such a shade.
That's all for this post :)
