Recently, our collective feeds were flooded with the announcement of Estee Lauder and Sabyasachi collaborating to launch a limited edition of luxury lipsticks, which aims to celebrate the colour story of India. The collection houses 10 matte-hued shades that are named very quintessentially Indian, containing exquisitely crafted warm, spicy notes of cinnamon. The packaging also carries the opulent essence of Sabyasachi, with a glided case topped with his iconic tiger medallion, all plated with luxurious 24 Karat gold.
And though we were very much looking forward to trying these lipsticks, the pricing has caught us a little off guard. It is definitely on the steeper side of the hill, each shade retailing for INR 5,400. So, till you and us finally figure out the budget for these, and complete a good streak of savings, here are some shade alternatives that you can score in one-tenth of the price and look fabulous.
