The ONE Colour Unlimited Lipstick – Absolute Blush: Review and Swatches

Hello all my wonderful readers,
I am in Bangalore at the moment and it is raining heavily over you and therefore I have been very irregular in writing my posts. Today I am going to review Oriflame The one Color Unlimited Lipstick Absolute Blush.
Packaging
It comes in an inky blue cardboard packaging. I loved the overall look of the lipstick.
Price of Oriflame The ONE Color Unlimited Lipstick Absolute Blush: INR 499 for 1.7g 

My review

The Oriflame The One Color Unlimited Lipstick Absolute Blush has a moisture rich formula. I love how it glides on the lips with absolute ease. But you have to be very careful though I almost managed to spoil the shape of mine. Absolute Blush is a nice bright pink colour and one the first application it is almost as light as a tinted lip balm. In the swatch that you see, I have applied it on my lips twice. If you like a darker shade then you would have to go for three to four applications.
Swatch

The colour lasted for about 3 hours for me post which I had to reapply it lightly. What I loved about this lipstick was the fact that it did not dry out my lips. Usually before applying any lipstick I have to apply a coat of lip balm but seeing that Oriflame The One Color Unlimited lipstick is enriched with essential oils, I opted not to.
I think you can easily pair this lipstick with a formal outfit though you may want to reapply and go for a darker tone if you want to pair it with casual clothes.
Pros
Hydrates my lips
Colour is versatile and can be paired with anything
Affordable
Travel friendly
Love the packaging

Cons
Not for those with pigmented lips
Lasts for about three hours and needs reapplication throughout the day
My final verdict
Do invest in this product if you are looking for an affordable lipstick that keeps your lips hydrated.

Happy Socks’ Snoop Dogg Collab + Giveaway

Socks make me happy and Happy socks make me happiest. Their vibrant colours and cool designs can brighten up anyone’s day and they look damn stylish, too. In fact, I tend to roam around in them around my house because I can stand to wear my boring flip flops.


Recently, Happy Socks collaborated with Snoop Dogg for a limited edition collection, The Art of Inspiration. Here’s what Snoop Dogg has got to say, 

“For many years, I’ve always wanted to paint, and I’ve been exploring the craft behind the scenes. I find that painting allows me to explore certain emotions I’ve never been able to express through my music or acting,” said Snoop Dogg. “The collaboration with Happy Socks is so natural, because they saw what I was doing and provided me with another platform to further display my artistic abilities.”
Always a fashion trendsetter, Snoop Dogg encountered Happy Socks last year and immediately included the patterned pairs into his everyday rotation. Quickly picking up on his love for Happy Socks, the Swedish brand began organically working with Snoop Dogg and his creative team Cashmere Agency, to cultivate this intriguing new partnership.

Happiest Hair in the world!

My hair has always had a mind of its own. On good days it behaves badly and looks all messed up but on bad days it is at its worst behavior. Basically, no day was a good hair day for me. I had learnt to keep peace with this and found solace in best friends; colour hair bands. 

At the same time I broke up with my curlers, hair straightener and my stylist. There was no point of me being friends with them if my hair would misbehave all the time. 

There was a time I was seriously considering chopping them off and opting for a bob cut


My life was black and white with the only specks of colour being scrunchies and bands.

But then Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition came along in a bright yellow and green bottle and told me that it could make my hair behave. “There is nothing in the world that can make my hair behave” I proclaimed. But Garnier merely smiled and said, “Challenge accepted”

Its weapons were a combination of Coconut, Almond Oil & Olive that had  a triple action formula that nourishes & strengthens hair from root to length to tip.
My hair merely shrugged and said “bring it on”

And so the attack began!

 My hair went from frizzy and damaged to manageable. Instead of ignoring my hair, I could now experiment with a little. Even my ponytails started looking decent and I began to smile. From champu chameli hair I had not-that-bad-looking hair.


Day 8 to Day 15

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition continued its magic and now my hair started looking way smoother than before. My hair fall started reducing substantially. I could now try a different hair style

I even took a selfie with my favourite product!


Day 16 to Day 21
I was sceptical now. Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition had already done something amazing for me. What else did it have up its sleeve? Could my hair’s condition be improved any more?


Day 22 to 30
I achieved hair nirvana! My hair fall reduced, my hair was longer frizzy, it would not get tangled up every 30 minutes, my scalp was healthy, I could style it anyway I want and my splits reduced. I was on top of the world!!!

I could now saunter out of the house leaving my hair open!

I even became friends with my curler. J


My overall experience with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition

I must say that the results have been miraculous to say the least. My hair feel soft and silky and definitely way stronger than it was before. As for the hair growth, I cannot really comment on it as I think I should wait for some time to see the overall effect. My hair fall is reduced and my scalp is healthy as well. Thanks to Garnier, I truly have the happiest hair in the world.
