The ultimate battle between two beauty/ makeup product!

Admin Virgil.

      Do you hear the battle cry, chingu? Of course you do! There’s a war of makeup epic proportion between two foundations – the Oriflame Very Me Smoothie Foundation and the Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation.

      Alright that’s enough drama; let’s get down to the details. I am going to focus on multiple aspects (or stages of battle, if you are still in the battle mode) and let you know which of these products I though took the winning place.

   1. Appearance.

       Whether you agree with me or not, I know that most of us end up buying a product just for the way it looks or the way it is packed (at least, I do.) It is the first thing we notice about the product, the way it looks! The Oriflame Very Me Smoothie Foundation looks cute with oval- like shampoo bottle style whereas the Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation looks more professional. In this round, Smoothie wins!

2. Price.

        The Oriflame Very Me Smoothie Foundation costs about 399 INR for 30ml, while the Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation costs somewhere between 90- 150 INR for a 27ml depending on where you buy. This round looks like its leaning towards Lakme, however there is a catch! Oriflame has a sample section where you can get a sample of the product (approximately 3ml) for 30INR. Once again this depends on whether a sample is available for that product or not OR if you Oriflame consultant doesn’t mind you being frugal. I actually bought two of the 30 bucks sample sachet.

 But still, I have to be fair, Lakme wins this round.


 3. User-friendly.

The Oriflame Very Me Smoothie Foundation comes in four shades:

Porcelain was the shade that suited me. The cute nozzle makes it easy for to use. 

The Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation also comes in four shades:

I tried the pearl shade because it was closest to my skin tone. Unlike Smoothie, the Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation doesn’t have a nozzle or anything of that sort which if not careful could result in a mess. 

It’s best to use Q-tips with this. (I actually hate using Q-tips for anything other than its real purpose).

Therefore user friendly-wise, Smoothie wins!

 4. Does it work?

        The Oriflame Very Me Smoothie Foundation is super smooth and easily blends into the skin. It brightens the skin, and gives a dewy effect. It lasts a good amount and doesn’t get patchy when you sweat in it.

         The Lakme Perfecting Liquid Foundation is also easy on the skin and gives a more matt look. Unfortunately, the foundation doesn’t last long, requires regular touch ups throughout the day especially when you sweat.

      In this battle Smoothie wins! I absolutely love the Oriflame Very Me Smoothie Foundation and only shifted to Lakme to give it a try. Smoothie is super dewy and kept my skin well moisturised the entire day. Lakme, however gave out on me and I continuously had to check my face in the mirror!
