Oriflame The ONE Lip Sensation Vinyl Gel Lipsticks - Review, Swatches, Price

Recently launched, Oriflame The ONE Lip Sensation Vinyl Gel lipsticks are making waves in the world of makeup. Oriflame claims that these lipsticks are going to "knock your socks off"

Oriflame The ONE Lip Sensation Vinyl Gel Lipsticks - Review, Swatches, Price

The ONE Lip Sensation Vinyl Gel is a liquid lipstick that comes in a tube form with a doe tip applicator just like any other liquid lipstick. However it packs in a win-win combination of the texture of a fluid with a plexigloss finish. Its a high gloss formula with extreme shine that is opaque!

Oriflame The ONE Lip Sensation Vinyl Gel Lipsticks

The lipsticks come in a see through tube so that you can see the color of the product. You can press the applicator against the lips to apply a thin coat or lather on a thicker coat for higher opacity. You can also layer on thin coats to achieve the true color intensity.

The lipstick is moisturizing and feels light weight and smooth on the lips.

The Vinyl Gel lipsticks have a great wear time, much better than any gloss and comparable to matte liquid lipsticks. With a light meal or cup of tea the gloss will fade away but the color remains intact on the lips. The darker shades actually remain on the lips almost like a tint throughout the day. I tested this from afternoon till dinner including two meals and a tea break. The darker shades remained till dinner which was really impressive.

Price: Rs 699 [ currently available for Rs 499 HERE ]

There are 7 shades in this range which are Tangerine Tango, Hot Flamingo, Magnetic Magenta, Purple Rumba, Malibu Blush, Sunset Burst and Pink Mambo.

Look at how cute the lipsticks are.

The lipstick has an applicator brush that picks up a small amount of the product when you take it out. The shape of the applicator makes it easy to line the lip and then fill it in.

Oriflame Giordani Gold Jewel Lipsticks - Honey Chestnut, Cherise Pink - Review, Swatches

Oriflame launched a new set of lipsticks called the Giordani Gold Jewel Lipsticks. I have two of these lipsticks to share with you.

Oriflame Giordani Gold Jewel Lipsticks - Honey Chestnut, Cherise Pink - Review, Swatches

Giordani Gold Jewel lipsticks come in a luxe gold packaging which looks quite stunning. They call it the 'jewel' of your handbag!

Price: Rs 749 [4g] (available at 20% discount online HERE)

The lipstick  has an amazing creamy texture which is almost light like a lip balm. It is extremely moisturising and hydrating on the lips. The colors are not highly opaque yet do cover pigmentation. 

Oriflame Giordani Gold Jewel Lipsticks - Honey Chestnut, Cherise Pink - Review, Swatches

I have two shades from the range - Honey Chestnut and Cherise Pink. Honey Chestnut is a proper chestnut brown shade. Cherise Pink is a rose pink shade. Both shades are great for all skin tones and specially complement the Indian skin tone range (they will suit pale skinned girls just as well as they would suit dusky girls). 

The shades are great for office wear, and the lipstick itself is something you would proudly carry around wherever you go.

Oriflame Giordani Gold Jewel Lipsticks - Honey Chestnut, Cherise Pink - Review, Swatches

Since these lipsticks are balmy in nature, they do not last too long on my lips. But compared to a normal lip balms these lasted for around 3 hours with a cup of tea in between.

To see how Cherise Pink looks on my lips head over to www.instagram.com/OurExternalWorld


The Giordani Gold Jewel Lipsticks are amazingly light on the lips and they have a very nice selection of shades to chose from.

Do make use of the online sales to grab your favourite shades!

Oriflame Optimals White Foaming Gel Face Wash Review

Oriflame Optimals Foaming Gel Face Wash has been a good companion through the months of January and February this year. It comes in a bottle of 200ml with a pump dispenser making it super easy to use in the bathroom.

Oriflame Optimals Foaming Gel Face Wash Review

The ingredient list is mentioned on the back.

Oriflame Optimals Foaming Gel Face Wash Ingredients

Price: Rs 549 (discounted to Rs 480 on flipkart.com)

The face wash is transparent and has a very mild fragrance. It lathers well and removes most makeup (for waterproof mascara I have had to use a makeup remover). 

The face wash cleanses the face well and leaves it feeling soft. It did not aggravate my acne and worked well in keeping my facial oil away. Once I stopped using this face wash I would wake up to a slightly oily face.

Oriflame The One Matte Lipsticks - Review, Swatches

The week is finally over, let's celebrate the weekend with a post on lipsticks, what better way to end the week :)

Today I am sharing my views on Oriflame The ONE Matte lipsticks. I have four lovely shades so let's begin.

Oriflame The One Matte Lipsticks - Review, Swatches

Oriflame The One Matte Lipsticks come in a shimmery pale purple packaging. No big deal here in fact I would have liked if the packaging was a bit more sturdy but nothing to worry about. 

The lipsticks are very smooth and creamy. The shades I have are highly pigmented. One swipe is enough for my lips. The lipsticks are matte upon application but do not dry out the lips. The staying power is the only drawback for me - after a full meal its completely gone. Other than that there are no complaints at all.

Oriflame The One Matte Lipsticks - Review, Swatches

The shades I have are Wild Rose, Berrylicious, Desert Sand, and Molten Mauve.

Wild Rose is a soft rose pink color with a slight brown undertone. This is the perfect rose color to brighten up  your face. Good for office wear.

Oriflame The One Volume Blast Mascara Review and Swatch

Oriflame The One Volume Blast Mascara Review and Swatch

Hi friends, this is a quick review of a mascara that I've been using lately.  

Oriflame TheOne Volume Blast Mascara

The mascara comes in a berry colored tube packaging with silver font. The wand has a  nice grip in the hand. The bristles on the mascara wand are a mix of long and short bristles which gives a very nice coating of the mascara on the eyelashes.

Here are the points where this mascara becomes a good buy:

1. The color is jet black

2. Texture is creamy

3. Does not clog the lashes

4. Wand helps to curl the lash as you apply

5. Imparts longer length to the lash

6. Is water resistant (not waterproof) - so if its not raining it will stay on the whole day :)

7. Is easy to remove

8. Coats the lashes evenly

Oriflame The ONE Color Unlimited Lipsticks - Review, Swatches, Price

Before the year ends I have another product review for you all and this one is something I hope you all will enjoy reading about. Oriflame has launched a new range of products called The ONE. I already reviewed The ONE Illuskin foundation some time back and today I am going to share the swatches of some gorgeous lipsticks from this range.

Oriflame The ONE Color Unlimited Lipsticks

Oriflame The ONE Color Unlimited Lipsticks - Review, Swatches, Price

Oriflame The One Color Unlimited lipsticks come in a swivel stick form. Its a black body with details written in a lovely pale purple font. The lipsticks are claimed to be long stay and moisturizing.

Oriflame The ONE Color Unlimited Lipsticks - Review, Swatches, Price

I have tried four different shades from this range and found the lipsticks easy to use. The bullet is just the right size to fit perfectly on my lips. The lipstick is smooth in application. Initially it feels like a lip balm and even the color looks light - almost like I am applying a colored lip gloss. But with two-three coats it goes opaque hiding all lip discoloration. It takes a couple of minutes to set after which the lipstick stays on for a good 5 hours even with a meal in between. The lips do not feel dry at all during this time. My lips start getting parched in winters if I apply lipstick and I am a super happy girl with the moisturizing provided by these lipsticks.

The four shades I have swatched for you all are Fuchsia Express, Endless Red, Always Cranberry, and Forever Plum.

(And before going further with the actual swatches just want to remind you to participate in the giveaways up on the blog)

Oriflame The ONE IlluSkin Foundation Review, Swatch and Price

Oriflame has launched a range of products called The ONE Everyday Beauty. Today I am sharing my experience of using the IlluSkin Foundation from this range.

Oriflame The ONE IlluSkin Foundation Review, Swatch and Price

The One IlluSkin Foundation comes packaged in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The dispenser has a lock system so that if you are carrying it around you do not accidentally press the pump. It also has a plastic cap for extra protection. The bottle comes packed in a purple cardboard. Ingredients are mentioned on the bottle itself. 

Price: Rs 799 (30ml)

Oriflame The ONE IlluSkin Foundation Review, Swatch and Price

The foundation has a nice consistency which is neither too runny nor too thick. It takes me two pumps of the foundation to get enough product to cover my face and neck. The foundation blends easily with both fingers and a makeup brush. It gives medium coverage so I do need to use a concealer on red spots. The overall finish is dewy. It contains SPF 20 so its a plus point if you are headed outdoors.

My skin starts to get oily after 2 hours of using the foundation so I prefer using this on top of a matte primer. Without primer the foundation seems to start fading within 2 hours. Its almost as if I never put it on my face. With a primer also I get only about 4 hours of staying time. The IlluSkin Foundation did not break me out at all and so this is a big plus for me.
