Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon “Striking Rose” Review and Swatches

in Lips, Lipstick, Makeup on

I installed “whatsapp” in my phone around one month back and its impact has been such that my phone hardly rings now (does it even rings? Goes to check the phone volume). Everyone just “whatsapp”!  And, God Forbid if you logout from whatsapp without replying to their messages, you’ll be attacked with all the bombs, knives, hammers, pistols they have in whatsapp. It is fun but I think I’ll be deleting it soon to remember my friends’ voices! Only the cute emoticons hold me back every time 😛
Talking of the impact Oriflame Lip Crayon has left, you will need to dig your eyes further.
Oriflame Lip Impact Crayons are the latest lip crayons in the Indian market and when I saw the price of these, I ordered one soon!

Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon “Striking Rose” comes in a simple packaging but a sharpenableone! There’s no twist up mechanismhere. One needs to sharpen the product when it gets finished. I didn’t know this until I ordered it. I tried sharpening it with the two sharpeners I have but it didn’t sharp properly, which means I’ll have to buy an oriflame sharpener now too! Added cost! 
“Striking rose” is a beautiful deep pink shade with minute shimmers and a high glossy finish. 
Now, another disappointmentis the bullet. It’s too soft. Even if you touch it with your nails, it’ll break into a line. See the picture. Even in this not so hot weather, I store it in a refrigerator. God forbid if I have to carry it in my bag, what havoc will it create! Lipstick Sundae in my bag! Apply it with a very light hand.
The texture is extremely smooth and glides onto lips like butter. It fills in your lip lines and gives an illusion of fuller lips. The pigmentation is insane! One swipe and you are done. It’ll easily cover pigmented lips. I like to applyit with a lip brush, using just one swipe and then, spreading it over. I’m not a fan of high shine in pigmented bright lip shades. 
Moving onto another disappointment is its staying power. It transfers to everything! On its own, it stays for around 3 hours (didn’t wore more than that). With snacks, in between it disappears completely and unevenly. It can also bleed a little.

I personally wouldn’t recommend it. You’ll need to take care of a lot of factors while applying it.

Quantity: 3.9gm

  23. I like the colour and the fact that it is soft but it will be a nightmare like if you are going out for lunch or brunch.

    In regards to whatsapp, it is fun especially the bombs and the knifes 😀
    but it can be annoying sometimes

  27. I have electric red. And I liked it for its great pigmentation and long lasting time. It is lightweight and doesn’t even feels sticky. It keeps my lips moisturized and doesn’t even shows any lip cracks. It is amazing.
