Oriflame Soft Coral Lipstick Review
Hi All,
I bought this along with the Cherry Blossom Nail Polish last month. It looked so vibrant and inviting in the catalogue that I grabbed it immediately.
I’m currently going through a bought of lip allergy so I can’t take any pics of lippies on my lips. I initially thought I’d review this later, but considering thisis a limited Edition Lippy I decided to swatch it atleast so you can check
k it out and take a call.

About Oriflame Soft Coral Lipstick:
- Packaging: This lipstick comes in Oriflame’s Limited Edition packaging which is a Light creamy green plastic cylindrical tube with a tiny flowered pattern on the lid. Its sturdy enough and travel friendly as well
.
- Color, Coverage & Pigmentation: In the tube, this looks like a soft red shade and I thought this would be an opaque and vibrant shade like the Nail Paint. Hehe…Thank god it isn’t. This is a gorgeous soft Coral Red shade which can never look OTT and is a semi opaque shade which would cover minor pigmentation as well.
- Texture: The lipstick is very smooth and creamy. It doesn’t have any shimmer but has a glossy finish as opposed to the Matte finish the previous Country Limited Edition they had come out with. This is much better and ideal for gals of any age. It doesn’t settle into the fine lines of my lips and this is one of the reasons why I really like this.
- Fragrance: This lipstick has a very mild floral fragrance..but its so negligible that I’m tempted to say this is fragrance free! Hehe…
- Staying Power: This can be the only negative of this lippy. It doesn’t stay for more than an hour on my lips. It does leave a nice coral tint on my lips but even that doesn’t last! Hehe…
Although the staying power is sad, I have to say this shade has really won me over. This is a shade I’d advice to all those who like coral shades, but are too conscious to try it for fear of the shade being too bright. This is perfect for college goers as well as office gals.
What I like about Oriflame Soft Coral Lipstick:
- The LE packaging is very cute
- Shade is unlike one I’ve seen before.
- Glossy finish as opposed to matte finishes which I stay away from
- Sturdy packaging and travel friendly.
- Good for those who like medium coverage lippies
- Doesn’t settle into the fine lines
- Perfect starter shade for those who want to try corals but are too scared of doing so.
What I don’t like about Oriflame Soft Coral Lipstick:
- Staying Power is genuinely sad. Such a pretty shade deserves more.

my allergy is a weird one…i get this sort of allergy only twice a yr…one at the beginning of winnter and 2nd at the end of winter…it takes such a looong time to get ok…i keep them moisturized and all but cant us elippies in this time…just imagine A…everyday i look at the new wale inglot lippies and i cant try even one!

Good Morning gals
Nice shade, there is a similar shade in avon, called whisper pink…. I think. It my fav these days.
Have you tried ?
Divya recently posted..Avon Choco Love & Warli Nail Art
gmornin Divs! i luv that whisper wala shade too..but i guess that is more pinkier and mute than this one…plus..avon wala has a better staying power also na? this is more of a gold toned raspberry…..but a lovely shade..
i m not into AVON at all Divs
…how much the Avon lippi cost by the way?
they r very inexpensive A…and their formula is super creamy too….
u shud try it out..
Nice lipstick
But still It would have more staying power 
At present I am using Attitude candy pink lipstick 
.. umm… Would love to try this oriflame one too.. 
Nice review!!

No idea yaar……. Revlon CB Soft Rose, may be. because it is more pink than coral or MAC See Sheer….

awww…lip allergies suck!
I am no expert but I have had my share of lip problems and I was once told sometimes the lip allergies are a result of vitamin deficiencies . I ignored the person who said this (ahem…the husband of course). But then he prescribed me something and it worked.
Just a thought.
PS: I hate it when the husband is right
Nirah recently posted..Revlon-Plum Delux
is that so???? vitamin def cud be the cause? wot did ur hubs recco for it?
I too hate it when the hubs is right..they get all smug and ‘I told u so’…me no likey!
thankfully this happens rarely in my case
my skin is so moody, kya karen
oooh! Dont you jinx yourself!!
Kidding!
Zara he gave me some basic Vit. B and C.
Nirah recently posted..Revlon-Plum Delux
accha…maybe ill try taking it..i was on both vits for a while but then stopped it…
Hey Zee… what a nice color.. miss your pout though
No lippe review of yours is complete without the pout… ma’m poutmati 
I likt this color… i think its something i would like to try (though frankly am mortified of reds)!!! If only i could find an oriflame rep
haha! thanx Mals…i hope my allergy dissipates soon…the allergy is the reason y m not doing many lipstick or gloss reviews lately..everyone will run away after one look at my lips! haha!
u shud just try this…especially if ur scared of such shades….coz this is so sheer absolutely non-threatening…the swatch is also after multiple swipes…so its a fool proof safe shade…
What a lovely packaging….and the colour is so pretty….What caused the allergy Z..? You ok now..? wish this was a long stay lippy…
Prachi recently posted..Nature’s Brilliance by Sue Products
same here…just one flaw in an otherwise gr8 lippy…
I get the allergy anytime there is a weather change…the only major prob with thisis that unlike other allergies, this one takes a tad bit too long to go away…sometimes it takes upto a month to get back to normal…
Awww poor baby… hope it gets better soon this time
:makeup:
Thanx mals..i too hope it gets better soon
Oh…i hope u get better soon….
Haan.. tell her ill give her chocolates too
Deepika recently posted..Diwali Haul!!

Ani recently posted..Pond’s Clear Pimple Face Wash ; review
Thanx Ani! Do u like such shades?
Am I the only one who thinks the packaging is juvenile…it looks like a 10 year old’s first lipstick!
The color is so pretty..Z, jaldi se heal your lips and then show some lip swatches please
haha!!! i think its cute….and yes it does remind me of my childhood! of when mumma used to get me kiddy wale lippies to satisfy my urge to be like her..
Me too hoping my lips heal soon
when r ur papers finishing swats?
Cute packaging. I forgot it was green until u mentioned it. The color looked so red in the brochure that i flipped the page widout a second look. But this shade is so lovely. N yeah…really missin ur lip swatch zara. Hope they heal soon
haha!!! i also thought it looked too red…but then the shade name soft coral caught my eye and thats wot made me try it
Btw…is this shade similar to ur laura mercier lippie?
not really..although both r sheer, the LM one is pinkier whereas this one has more red in it..
The shade looks pretty zara but the staying power
I wish it was better..
yeps..the staying power is wots the worst thing of all…enough to make anyone drop the idea of getting it..
oh such a pretty packaging! nice color too!

you are “the” model for lips remember??
Vaishnavi recently posted..The Body Shop unveils EXTRA VIRGIN MINERALS
I am fine Zara,how ar things at yr end?
I guess it resembles Faces moisture rich “first lady” a bit that I bought recently.
And yeah Ana, I read the review… but I don’t understand why the lipsticks claimed having 2-3 hours of stay too don’t last long on my lips these days.
