Johara Creme Rich Lip Color – Poppy Coral : Swatches & Review

Hi,

Coral shades are like my weakness, specially in lip colors. With my June Fab Bag, I had an option to choose my makeup product. I was presented with a list of Johara Creme Rich Lip Colors, I had to choose my shade. Most of them looked deep shades, while I wanted something bright & bold. I picked up Poppy Coral.

After receiving it in my recent fab bag, as I opened the cap of the lip color, I was bit disappointed, why? You will come to know in a while.

Johara Creme Rich Lip Color – Shades

This lip color comes in 12 shades as listed below:

Cranberry, Cherry Red, Cocoa Delight, Grape Wine, Mahogany, Pink Flash, Pink Petals, Poppy Coral, Princess, Saucy Red, Sunny Squash, Tempting Fudge.

Most of the shades are deep. While Summer Trends 2017 calls for bright & bold shades.

Packaging

The lipstick comes inside a black card box. This is a signature packaging from Johara. It looks classy.

The actual lip color is packed inside a silver bullet with gold interior. The bullet looks very pretty as you open the cap. You will find shade name at the bottom of the bullet. All other is information including ingredients, price etc is printed over the outer packaging.

The packaging is sturdy & travel friendly.

Fragrance & Texture

I hardly notice any scent from lipsticks, but this is a highly scented lip color from Johara. It smells chocolaty sweet. Though I don’t taste anything weird on my lips after wearing it. Even after wearing for half an hour, I can feel a fainted chocolate smell. Since the smell is pleasant, I don’t mind it.

This is a rich in moisture lip color, hence it glides very smoothly on my lips. I do not need to use a lip balm underneath this lipstick. The texture makes it give a satin smooth finish to my lips. I can blot the shine off my lips when I do not want it.

Due to creamy nature of the bullet, it can’t stand heat much. Also I try not to apply much pressure otherwise it leaves behind little chunks.

Shade – Coral Poppy

If you have seen Poppy Coral flower, it is pretty coral in color. I mistook the shade name and thought this shade is going to be a coral one. It is nothing coral. It is a deep peach-brown shade. A shade which looks dupe of Nykaa PaintStix Peaches n Cream. It is an everyday shade which is going to suit every skin tone-. But it’s not coral which is heartbreaking. It leaves behind a peachy-pink tint.

Pigmentation

Pigmentation of the lip color is decent. Two swipes gives nice color pay off. I never really use one swipe of anything. It just does not give me satisfaction. The lipstick does not look patchy at all. The color is evenly distributed.

Longevity

It is a moisturizing lipstick, hence it transfers a lot in the first hour of application. It can’t survive meals, you would loose it completely or at least from the center of your lips a very dreadful look that is. If you are not having meals then also it won’t survive more than 3 hours without touch ups.

Likes

• Creamy texture.
• Enriched with Ricin Oil & Vitamin E.
• Hydrates lips & does not accentuate fine lines.
• Gives satin smooth finish finish.
• Nice sturdy packaging.
• Has a nice fragrance.
• Poppy Coral is a shade suitable for all skin types.
• Free of parabenes, Lanoline, Mineral Oil & Nano-ingredient.

Dislikes

• Misleading name.
• Can not survive meals. Staying power is low.

Summary : 4/5

Highly moisturizing lipsticks have a tendency to transfer easily hence does not stay on lips for long. This lipstick is not a must have, but it is okay in terms of pigmentation. If you do not mind frequent touch ups, you can go for much better shades in the range.

Johara is a new brand to me, I have not used much products from this brand apart form Johara nail paint which again I received in Fab Bag. But it looks promising to me.

Hope you enjoyed the review & the swatches.

Love.
