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..

Back to school/college makeup essentials

Summer is officially over!! Some of us are going back to school / college. For me - it's second (and last) year in college. I'm starting tomorrow and absolutely can't wait to

August Favourites

Hey there people! Today I want to share with you the with the things I liked the most and used the most in August. 

1. Noa Eau de toillete 

It was my birthday on the 16th of August and my lovely friend got me this lovely perfume which I didn't have for a long long time. I love the way that this smell brought back so many memories, like how is it even possible? Ha!  Noa is classified as a luxurious, gentle, floral fragrance, with a blend of fruit and spices. It's definitely one of my favourite fragrances.

2.  MISS SPORTY perfect colour lipstick 038 I love

This is my favourite lipstick of all times. I love love love the colour. It really is perfect. It's so vibrant and eye catching. It stays on for a long time and I love to wear it on a night out. It's really cheap too, around €4 .        I have to look out for different shades of this perfect colour lipstick. 

3. CATRICE Prime and fine translucent loose powder

My friend Aggy introduced me to this beauty. This is crucial when you're planning on going out as it keeps the makeup in place and gets rid of unwanted shine without drying out the skin. Because it's translucent, it adapts to every skin tone and ensures a smooth, matt and radiant complexion when applied over makeup. It's affordable and does the job right!

4. Rimmel BB cream 9in1

I got this BB cream while I was in Poland. I wanted to try it as everybody was talking about it. So while I was in my friends' house I showed it to my friend who is obsessed with makeup and I was veeery disappointed when she told me that the real BB creams are only produced in Asia and cost around €25 which is expensive comparing to the one I bought in Poland for about €5. Nonetheless I really like this BB cream. At first I couldn't get used to the consistency, which is a bit thicker than my foundation. I usually wear it under my foundation, but when it was really sunny here in Ireland, I was wearing only the BB cream. I will definitely buy it again.

5. TRESemme shampoo for dry, frizz prone hair

My sister bought this shampoo on sale for about €3. I used it once, because mine was finished and since that time I've been stealing it from her (sorry sis :P ) It's a 900ml bottle anyway.. TRESemme is a really good brand for hair products. I have a hairspray as well and it's brilliant. So anyway I love this shampoo, because it leaves my hair sooo smooth. 

So that is it for my August Favourites. What are your favourites? Let me know in the comments :)

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

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. ;)
