Review - Oriflame Offers A Wide Range Of Lipsticks For Every Occasion






.

We all like to buy different lipsticks with distinct texture and pigmentation; the selection of shades are always as per our desire and requirement. However, it is really difficult to find all desired shades from the same makeup brand. Even top-notch brands fail to offer variety of shades, and frankly speaking this is a big turn off for all makeup lovers.

Oriflamea fifty years old direct selling cosmetics company, is one of the most trusted cosmetic brands that offer a huge variety of quality products. 


The brand has particularly introduced a wide range of high quality lipsticks in numerous hues and tones to satisfy their customers’ need. This is the reason, Oriflame has been appreciated by women all over the world.


Today, we will cover the detailed review (sorry readers, please read it as "long review") of two different Oriflame lipstick collections.

Our Verdict: 

We have used these Oriflame lipsticks for a couple of weeks before writing this review. So, now we can say that these lipsticks are rich in color with smooth creamy finish. They are really good when it comes to “care for lips hydration”. All lipsticks can glide over your lips very easily and do not need extra lip-gloss or lip balm. The packaging is lightweight and easy to carry in a small bag. Both the Pure Color and The One range has numerous shades, which will make you confuse in your color selection.

Now you can read the detailed review of the four different shades. 

Pure Colour Lipstick – Silver Pink


It is a combination of pinkish shade with a silver touch. It has a shiny and creamy effect that helps in moisturizing the lips. It is very easy to apply; it has “glides over the lips” tendency and gives you a desired look without using any lip-gloss. The Pure Color range has a 4-6 hours staying power. 


The bullet-shaped lipsticks are easy to carry in small clutch or handbag. The beautifully pigmented creamy lipsticks come in plastic packaging with a transparent cap. There is a variety of colors in this specific range and the most important factor is that they all are available in affordable price.


Pure Colour Lipstick – Tempting Brown

The bullet shaped Tempting brown from the Pure Color Lipstick range is the most beautiful shade. With two to three swipes you will get your desired darker shade. However, the single swipe gives a really tempting brownish shade to match any outfit. 


It has a brilliant satin finish;  there will be no need to apply any lip gloss. This lipstick gives a very smooth texture and perfectly moisturizes your lips. The staying power is low with only 2 hours.

The One 5-In-1 Colour Stylist Lipstick - Cranberry blush 

Cranberry blush of the One 5-In-1 Colour stylist lipstick is a beautiful rich shade with a strong creamy texture that provides good coverage. The presence of cocoa butter helps in hydration and moisturizes lips very well. 


The highly pigmented shade gives a perfect hue in one swipe. If you want a deeper dreamy look, go for multiple swipes. It glides over the lips very easily and gives a satin finish. 

The staying power is 5 to 6 hours. The 5-In-1 Colour Stylist Lipsticks are available in variety of beautiful shades.


The ONE Colour Unlimited Matte Lipstick - Coral Matte

The Coral Matte from ONE Colour Unlimited Matte Lipstick is another fine addition into your makeup box. It has a sleek packaging, perfect for carrying it in a handbag. The orangish shade slim lipstick has a promising coverage. Although it has a matte finish but it is smooth enough to glide over your lips. It helps in hydration just like a lip balm. The fruity smell lipstick stays for around 4 hours easily.


Availability:

All Oriflame cosmetics including the lipstick range is easily available on their official Website Oriflame.

It can be ordered through Oriflame’s authorized consultants in your area as well. 

Rating:

Recipe - Hot And Spicy Red Kidney Beans Curry (Rajma Masala)






.

Every recipe of beans is different depending on the taste and likeness of the people. In our family red kidney beans curry is one of the favorite dishes. We call it Rajma Masala. Rajma is the word for beans while Masala means mixture of spices. So, Rajma Masala is actually “Spicy Beans”.

This curry is usually has some saucy consistency but in our home we like to have it almost in a thick paste style, means no watery effect. This recipe is very spicy but if you want a mild version of it, just cut down the quantity of red and green chillies.


Let’s start our recipe of hot and spicy red kidney beans curry.

Ingredients:

Onion 1
Tomato 2
Ginger 1 tsp
Garlic 1 tsp
Cumin ½ tsp
Black pepper 6
Red Chilli powder 2 tsp
Turmeric powder ½ tsp
Coriander powder 1tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil 6 tbsp
Red Kidney beans 1 cup
Green Chillies 4

Method:

Soak kidney beans for 6 hours.

Fry cumin and black pepper in oil.

Add sliced onion and fry till light brown.

Add chopped ginger and garlic in onion and fry for three minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and stir fry it.

As the tomatoes become soft, add all the spices.

Stir fry it for five minutes.

Add soaked kidney beans with 4 cups water.

Cover and let it simmer for thirty minutes.

If after thirty minutes, beans are still hard then add some more water and simmer for another ten to fifteen minutes till they become tender.

When beans become soft and tender, evaporate all water till oil separates.

In the end add chopped green chillies and coriander leaves. Cook  for two minutes.

Serve it with boiled rice or chappati.

Review - Oriflame's Pure Colour Nail Polishes






.

All women love to have beautiful hands with well manicured nails. To further enhance their hands' beauty; nail paints are used by women all over the world. Nail polishes complete the overall matching concept of dress and makeup look in a very glamorous way.

Like others, we always try to go for enchanting nail polish shades to create some interesting look. Other than colour, the finishing quality is an important factor in any nail paint. Many brands fail to produce good finish-glossy nail polishes. However, Oriflame has introduced a wide range of Pure Colour Nail Polish with not only fascinating shades but with high quality gloss for an impressive look.

In this review we will share our experience of Oriflame Pure Color Nail Polish. Lets see what the brand claims and what we have found in these nail polishes.

The Brand Claims:

Oriflame is a direct selling cosmetics company offering wide range of high quality beauty products since 50 years. Oriflame’s Pure Color nail polish range has exciting colors with glossy, high-shine gorgeous finish to allure all women.

Our Verdict:

We have two different shades from Pure Color range; Red Classic and Pink Intense. These nail polishes have a wonderful formula that builds a smooth, shiny and flawless texture. It is slightly thin in its consistency but it manages to provide a superb silky double coat. The thin applicator (brush) is a backdrop of this range. However, the soft thin formula fantastically merges the different strokes without any lumps. The staying power is amazing; it lasts for more than 5 days without chipping.


The Red Classic 

The Red Classic nail paint is an ultimate choice for a formal evening wear. This highly pigmented nail polish is perfect for creating some sensational look with extra shine and gloss. The single coat gives a good coverage with fascinating shade, but the double coat produces a thrilling deep red classic look.


The Pink Intense 

The Pink Intense nail paint is a beautiful and refreshing pinkish shade that can be used at any time of the day. It is a tricky color as it can play well with its matching scheme; and creates contrasting effect with any light colored dress. This lovely shade looks light pink with its single coat, but it intensifies as soon as the double coat dries.  


Packaging:

The Pure Color variety comes in a small round, transparent glass bottle with a black plastic cap, containing 8ml 0.2 fl.oz. The size of the bottle is small enough to carry in any handbag. The tightly fitted cap prevents any leakage, making it travel friendly.



Availability:

Oriflame’s cosmetics including the Pure Color Nail Polish range is easily available on their official Website Oriflame.

It can be ordered through Oriflame’s authorized consultants in your area as well.

Rating:

The Oriflame’s Pure Color Nail Polish range is perfect for exciting glossy shades. Our rating for these nail paints is 5/5 and we recommend it to all of you to try these nail polishes.

Pakistan's First Ever Interactive Online Film Oye Kuch Kar Guzar






.

The first Pakistani online film ‘Oye Kuch Kar Guzar’ or ‘take the plunge’ will inspire and actuate Pakistani youth into discovering their true potential and self-reliance in order to work their way towards realizing their dreams.

The film is the first of its kind to be crafted and featured solely on YouTube. Besides inspiring youth into self-discovery and self-belief, the maiden online film will go long way in strengthening the digital ecosystem and digital uptake in the country. It will establish and bolster digital media as a convenient and reliable entertainment resource in the country.


‘Oye Kuch Kar Guzar’ is especially designed to appeal to the youth of Pakistan. It will be the first time that a brand will allow viewers to choose their own story by using annotations, cards and end screens. The film aspires to enable youth to overcome their constraints, follow their dreams, confidently express themselves and own up to their individuality.



Picture Credits: Movie Shoovy
The film is a distinct genre to allow the viewer to steer the story flow according to their own taste and preference. The film is split into mini episodes and at the end each episode, the viewer can navigate the story in their chosen direction, besides being able to skip ahead or see related videos throughout.



Speaking on concept of Oye kuch Kar Guzar, Haris Rasheed, the director of the film said, “Coming from a middle class family, this is a story I myself deeply connect with. We all struggle to find our place in this fast paced world, and most of us give into the pressure of settling too soon with what we can achieve rather than what we want to achieve. With passion one can do what they want to do rather than what they have to do. Breaking free of the ‘norms’ of society and finding your own place and your own voice in this world doing what you love is what this story is all about.”
