Oriflame Giordani Gold Voluptuous Lipstick in Pink Lace

Hello My beauties :) how are you all doing today.  

My apologies for been so slow with the reviews as the weather has been so so amazing the last 2 weeks it was hard to sit down in front of the laptop and do blog post especially with 5 kiddies and the fact that here in Ireland we are not used to such amazing weather so I took advantage with the kiddies and had a good few amazing day trips.  Right now as I look out the window I have a little sad face :( because its bucketing down meaning the rain is back :( and i have a constant reminder that only 2 days ago I got the most amazing tan a little too much in some places and it makes me already miss the beautiful weather but hey we were luck and summer is not over yet so we could get it back 

Anyways I promise I will not slack anymore :) and today I bring you another Oriflame Product 

This is my first time trying out Oriflame as I told you in my last review and when i saw this lipstick in the catalogue I just had to try it out.  

Ok I have to admit The packaging attracted me more to this range of lipsticks.  The price didnt believe me but I just said I would give it a go and normally packaging is not a big deal to me but I just couldnt resist.  You have to admit yourself It looks fantastic.  

To me the packaging on this Lipstick says woman with taste woman who loves a bit of gold in her life.  Woman who has paid big money for this lipstick !!!!

There is actually a whole range of lip products in the Giordani Gold range on the Oriflame Catalogue and they are verging on the more expensive side of the Catalogue.  There is more expensive lipsticks Like the More by Demi Lipstick which costs €21 and to be honest unless I see some reviews myself I dont think I could part with that amount of money for a lipstick 

This lipstick on the other hand cost me €12.45 which was reduced from €19.99 

Still expensive in my eyes but I treated myself and seeing as my baby girl destroyed by only expensive lipstick I have to my collection I went for it :) 

Saturate your lips in a veil of glossy colour and multifaceted shine. With its comforting formula, this lipstick glides on smoothly and feels exquisite to apply. Its unique HydraFull Complex helps to impart clinically proven 8h moisturisation for fuller, more sensual lips that fascinate.

There are 10 shades to choose from in this lipstick so I went with the shade Pink Lace.  

Pink Lace is a nude pink shade with tiny silver shimmers in it.  I have to say I was well impressed with the shade and glad the picture on the catalogue was near to what the actual shade is.  I am not a fan of shimmer lip products but to be honest the shimmers wear off with the lipstick.  The shade is sheer to begin with and to be honest I was expecting it to be a bit more pigmented but you can build it.  The texture reminds me alot of the Revlon lip butters.  Its very creamy and moisturising and feels like a balm on the lips.  It doesnt dry out whatsoever and lasts about 3 to 4 hours before I have to reapply.  

This does feel moisturising and even though the shade doesnt last on the lips for more than 3 to 4 hours the moisture feeling lasts longer.  There is a slight cosmeticy scent off the lipstick not quite as strong as the Loreal Lipsticks but you will still get the scent.  I am impressed with the lipstick but to be honest I would not pay the full price again for a glossy lipstick.  I have more pigmented glossy lipsticks in my collection that was alot more affordable.  If the price was cheaper of course I would have probably all of the shades in my collection as it is a lovely lipstick.  

This is a photo of what the lipstick is like on the lips taken with flash :) 

This is what it looks like in day light :) 

It is a beautiful lipstick and perhaps if it was a little cheaper I would buy more of them as they are quite moisturising and look amazing on the lips they give a plump look which I love.  

Have you tried this range yet 

Until next time 

Lots of Love Luck And Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oriflame Studio Artist Cream Blush in Pink Glow Review

Hey my Beauties How are you all doing today :) 

Well now ever since Avon announced they were leaving Ireland forever I have been so disappointed because I have been a fan of Avon for years So has my mum and my grand mum 150+ years is a long time to sell in Ireland and then stop all of a sudden.
Sadly it has happened and we all had to come to terms with it without a choice :( but how i missed the Avon catalogue coming through the letter box every month and how I missed sitting down at night with my munchies and my cuppa and having a good nose through the catalogue It became a tradition and I was actually missing it alot until one day I came home from a walk and seen a catalogue on my door at.  I pick it up and it says all over it ORIFLAME then I saw the name of my rep This got me very interest because it looked so much like The Avon Catalogue.  I ran straight to the laptop to investigate because I never heard of Oriflame before 
Basically to cut a long intro as short as possible Oriflame is a swedish company who sell high-quality Natural Skin care and Cosmetic products basically like Avon.  They are around as long as 1967 which I cant believe I havent heard of them been around this long.  Here is some facts from the site themselves to give you more of an insight 
• Products based on natural ingredients, never tested on animals 
• Over 7500 employees 
• 950 new products annually 
• Co-founder of World Childhood Foundation  
• 5 own production units in Sweden, Poland, China, Russia and India 
• Operations in 62 countries of which 13 are franchisees
Well now I just had to try this out to see What it was like.  
As you can see by the above photo I was a good girl and didnt go crazy.  Well to be honest the prices are a little more expensive than Avon was and I was been Careful.  So today I am going to review 

Oriflame Studio Artist Cream Blush
"Professionally developed lightweight cream blush that sculpts and highlights the cheeks for a healthy, natural glow. Buildable colour blends effortlessly into skin, creating a soft-focus effect. Contains light-reflecting IllumaFlair for a natural and luminous result in any light." 
This costs €6.85 for 20mls :)  There are 3 shades available
Soft peach 
Pink Glow 
Sherry Berry 

As you can see the blush comes in a squeezable plastic tube form.  I like that it is clear so you can see the shade of blush you have if you have more than one shade.  The lid screws on and off which is also great as there will be no fear of loosing the lid in your bag.  The writing on the tube seems like it will wear off after a few uses but i dont mind that :) I love that each time you use this you have perfect control of how much product you actually squeeze out instead of wasting alot of the product like some cream blushes I have that have a pump 

So the shade I choose is Pink Glow
This shade is absolutely stunning it is a nice rosey pink with gold micro-shimmers in it.  Ladies dont worry the shimmers are not they type to make you look like a disco ball I promise !!!
The consistancy of the blush is actually quite  thick not overly for an affordable blush The following picture I am going to show you is just a simple little squirt and you will tell by the picture the thickness of the blush

Now let me tell you the pigmentation of this blush is actually shocking.  I took a little pea sized dip at this swatch and rubbed it into my arm beside the swatch and  could not believe how much it spread.  Oh my goodness you literally only need less than a pea sized amount for each cheek wowzer even this swatch is waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too much I literally had to waste the most of the swatch.

The picture says it all eh?
I found this blush absolutely amazing to blend.  No patchiness no mess I just dab a bit on my cheeks and even it out with either my BCC F20 flat top kabuki brush or use a beauty blender.  The finish?  A beautiful healthy flushed look with a stunning glow :) I am in love with this blush it looks so natural.  This blush would be suitable for any skin tone because you can build it up to whatever intensity you desire.  Just be careful not to apply too much too quick.  Start with a dab and then reapply if needed.
The lasting power is actually just as good I found it did not start wearing off my cheeks until about 8 hours of wear but in all honesty if you are not hugging children all day it will last until you take it off.  :) :)
I give this blush a sure 9/10 indefinitely.  The cream blush is especially perfect for the summer month where the sun is shinning and catching the micro-shimmers on your cheeks making your cheek bones look boot-i-ful!!!!

As you can see I am wearing the blush lightly and it gives such a beautiful all day flush I love it.
Have you tried this blush yet :) Check out the website for more information and see what else Oriflame have to offer :) keep an eye out for more reviews on the products I got in the first photo :) :)
Until Next Time
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
