My Oriflame Haul - Blush & Brushes

Hi Girls!

I still remember the brand Oriflame being one such  brand which used to sell its product via direct marketing channels. It used to involve ladies who were generally homemakers, asking them to be there members and they in turn would sell their products. It guess it still continues to be the same. They never advertised on TV or print or radio. Neither their product used to be available at any store or online. One can get the products only through their members.

But as time passed by, the brand realized that to stand the growing competition they need to jump into more advertising and ground activities and PR. And yes now Oriflame can be purchased at physical stores and also a huge number of online store.

Recently I have been seeing bloggers writing about Oriflame products and the review has been moderately good. They have changed their product formulation and working towards better product developments. I mean that is great.




I was surfing through www.amazon.in and found the Oriflame Blush- in Fresh Pink shade. Such was the image of the shade that I got hooked instantly and my heart started craving for it. I quickly added it to my cart. Soon after I got hold of two Professional Brushes from Oriflame - Blush Brush & Powder Blush. I wanted to add some brushes to my kitty and to my surprise these brushes were coming in pretty cheap. I just leaped onto it.

The name says it is Hot fresh pink but it more looks like a peachy pink. Anyway I just love it that way.

COLORBAR Take Me As I Am Lipcolor

Heyaaa I am Back!!

And yes I should be blogging more often I know! *sob sob*..too much of office work :(

However, I was dying to review one of my favorite products- Lippies!!  

And here I am..today reviewing the Colorbar chubby stick - Take me as I am!!



I managed to go for a shopping during the Independence day sale! and guess what I happened to stumble upon the chubby from Colorbar. I was dying to get hold of it since many days just to see wether the hue and cry about the popularity of the product in market is true or not.  :P

I am not disappointed with it!  *wide grin*

I got a Take me as I am for myself in the color Flirtatious Pink (shade 002).
It is a pretty pink color which gives out a sheen. 



Packaging

The product definitely reminds me of the crayons we used in our childhood and it is sharp-enable. Yes That is true!! The product is quite sturdy and comes in a long silver monocarton. The body and the cap of the pencil is black, with only the bottom of the pencil is the color of the bullet of the lipstick. It also comes with a free sharpner!! yayyyy!!! But I am sure the company must have included the price of the sharpner with the lipstick  :P




Ingredients

I was quite impressed that it was paraben-free. One Plus point.


Price

It costed me Rs 750. :-o  Trust me it is very very pricey. One Minus point. And I got a free Colorbar I shine Eye pencil in midnight black.....yupiee!!!  two plus point for that. (review coming up soon).



Texture

The lippie is definitely a very smooth one with good pigmentation. 1 swipe is good enough to get the desired color. But I swipe it 2 times. It gives out a nice sheen then. It glides on to my lips very easily and feels like a lip balm. It definitely moisturizes my lips , but I am not sure whether it provides hydration or not. Staying power is also decent. It is definitely not a long wear lipstick, but stays upto 4 - 6 hrs on my lips provided I am not drinking or eating anything. Once I eat or drink something it transfers onto my glass or spoon and then suddenly WHOOSH!! the lipstick is gone!  :(   It also does not stain your lips once it vanishes from your lips.



Swatch




What I like

1. The color is nice and well pigmented.
2. The scent is decent.
3. Gives the desired color in 1 swipe itself.
4. Free sharpner. 
5. Sturdy Packaging
6. Glides smoothly.
7. Very soft bullet
8. Moisturizes lips and feels like a lip balm
9. Paraben- free
10. Decent staying power.
11. Does not stain my lips

What I did not like

1. Very Pricey. I will not spend so much for a sharp-enable Chubby. Huh!
2. Not transfer proof.

I will be happy if someone gifts me  :P . If I stumble upon another great shade from the range I might or else if sometime in the near future if the price goes down.
