Hi, ladies!
How are you doing today?? The sweaty weather is choking me! I can bear
the heat easily but the sweat kills me! And in this weather you sometimes need just a
little pop of color on your face and what can be better than a lipstick. Plus,
you can barely apply anything else on your face apart from sunscreen!
After my AVON ultra color wild ginger lipstick, which was my
first, I bought my second lipstick from Oriflame. This is a new range by them
and the specialty is the shape of the
lipstick! It is drop shaped and
has a curved tip to ease the
application!
And it does just that indeed! Today I am going to review the
shade peach sensation. Let’s get on with it. Shall we?
Package: - The
lipstick comes in a dark fuchsia tube with
color drop written in silver on the cap and the tube that holds the lipstick is
also slightly curved as you can see,
so the lipstick maintains the shape throughout.
The lipstick tube is sleek but not small. It is longer than usual and I
am guessing due to the shape. The package is not very impressive but is a
little different than the usual black or gold tube. It is easy to carry, as the cap is tight. The name of the lipstick is written on back
of the tube in white.
Texture: - The
lipstick has an extremely creamy texture
and literally glides on lips. But
unfortunately, it starts to break off since it is very, very soft. I thought it was melting like an ice
cream! So I stored this in the fridge and
the problem was solved. But the fridge is for food not for cosmetics!
Pigmentation and
color: - Though the shade is named as peach sensation, it is more like a baby pink with a hint of peach. Have no shimmers, which is a relief. The
coverage is medium and requires two coats for that. Has a vague blue undertone.
The finish is glossy and stays that
way for almost the whole period it is on.
Staying power: - stays
put for almost three hours, which is
not very long, without meals. With meals, it lasts for the time till you have
your meal and then leaves a light tint
so you can take some time to apply it. But
since it is a creamy lipstick with glossy finish, I would not mind if it
stays for three hours
My experience: -
I like the texture and the color and it gives good coverage on my slightly
pigmented upper lips. It is glossy but not mirror shine type of glossy. It is subtly glossy. The color is sweet and
would suit fair to wheat-ish skin tones.
The only part I did
not like was the fragrance. It has a strong strawberry fragrance which is
sweet but stays for a very long time. It bothers me to apply lipstick with
fragrance, but if you like that then you won’t have a problem. It really makes
the application easy due to its shape. But it would have been wonderful if the
lipstick was not this soft.
You can skip this
if you want but, if you are not afraid
of fragrance in your lipstick I would say give this a try.

p.s. my first lip swatch, so I am a little nervous.
Do you like fragrance
in lipsticks?? What do you think of the shape of this lipstick??
