Review: Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon

Hello there! 

Today I received my Oriflame delivery, so I thought I would show ye one of the things I got. I've been looking at lip crayons for quite a while now and when I saw it in the catalogue, I didn't even hesitate. The first thing I noticed when I unwrapped it was the sweet, wild-strawberry-like smell. Ok it's needless to say that I fell in love with it already..

Hey there internet friends! 

This week's tip of the week is for those with dry skin. I have very dry skin sometimes and have to moisturize it a lot. I usually use moisturizing creams but this is one of the methods I use when I have time:

REVIEW: Oriflame triple core 3D lipstick


Hey guys. So I am a biiiiig lipstick/ chopstick/ lip gloss addict. I probably have about 30 of them in total. I like vibrant colours and I need lipsticks to moisturise my lips as I tend to freak out when I feel like my lips are going dry. Some time ago I bought  this triple core 3D lipstick from Oriflame. It really caught my eye when I saw it in the catalogue. I thought the 3D effect looked really cool so I picked it up.

What the company claims: 
The world’s first triple core lipstick fusing caring balm, passionate colour and dramatic gloss into one. The result is lips that are softer, more beautiful and more impactful than ever before. With avocado, jojoba oil, chamomile and vitamin E. 

Basically the lipstick aims to create an optical illusion of fuller lips due to contour, volume and the vibrant colours.

The lipstick contains 3 different shades to create the 3D effect:

  • Darker shade (the outer core) - contour effect to make lips appear more voluminous 
  • Silver shade (the middle core) - illuminate and optically plump your lips
  • Lighter shade ( the inner core) - the finishing touch. Contrasting colour gives stunning volume.
It comes in five shades:
  • Nude peach
  • Coral pink
  • Red Coral
  • Fuschia candy
  • Berry pink
The one I got is Red coral

Bare lips

Price: The catalogue price is 15.25 but I got it on sale for 10.95

Pros:
- Easy to apply
- blends in easily
- doesn't feel heavy on the lips
- there is a choice between the shades
- nice packaging
- it makes the lips look fuller
- good for everyday use or party

Cons:
- a bit too pricey

Would I recommend it: Yes

Would I repurchase: Probably

So if you like it, I would recommend you to find a consultant or order from me .

Have you tried this lipstick yet? What do you think about it?

I hope you found this review helpful :)

I just wanted to let you know that I buy all Oriflame products myself, I don't get it for free to review. ;)

REVIEW: 2FX mascara Oriflame

Hey there! :)
Today I'm going to review 2FX Mascara from Oriflame. As I told you before, I'm a consultant, so I always try to pick up something new and try it out. I have been devoted to the one and only Rimmel Glam'eyes Lash Flirt mascara ( I probably will review it some other time) for the past 4?5? years, so I decided to give this one a try. 



One mascara, Two effects – How does it all work?
While it might at first appear that there are two different brushes, there is of course only one. Thanks to an innovative brush wiper mechanism, opening the black cap limits the amount of bulk that is deposited on the brush for defined yet lengthened lashes. When you open the silver cap more mascara is left on the brush for voluptuous and volumized lashes. I have never seen a mascara like that before. 






So let me show you how it looks on my lashes. I have short and thin eye lashes. 




Price: The catalogue price is 13.75 but I bought it on sale for only 6.25. I think this is a reasonable price for a mascara.

Pros:
- You can create 2 different looks
- separates lashes 
- it's easy to wipe off 
- it's affordable 
- defines the lashes 
- dries quickly

Cons:
-it clumps a little bit when I put the second coat on, but in my opinion one coat is enough
-it's not waterproof
- doesn't really curl the lashes, but if you have a curler it won't be a problem :)

Would I recommend it: Yes, if you know anyone who is a consultant, I would advise you to go and talk to them or  order from me

Would I repurchase? Yes

I hope you liked this review and found it useful .
