Oriflame Ecobeauty Smoothing Day Cream Review
The Ecobeauty day cream is dispensed through a pump at the top of the cylinder bottle and the first thing I noticed was its scent. Although Oriflame state that the range is free from synthetic fragrance the day cream has a distinct scent that I can still detect for an hour or two after applying. Its texture seems rich and creamy but once rubbed into the skin it feels light and the dry areas of my skin are much softer. I would say that it feels more like a primer on my skin than a day cream. I love that its paraben free! It’s great to see that Oriflame have moved towards developing products that contain fewer chemicals. However, I personally find the scent a little too much as I am used to day creams with little or no fragrance.

Oriflame Beauty Colour Pro Eye Shadow Trio

Oriflame launched their popular Eyeshdow Trio in June 2011. The compact flips open to reveal 3 complimentary shades which can be used to create the smoky eye look, and has a draw which slides out from underneath containing 2 Eyeshadow brushes; 1 large round brush for applying and blending the eye shadow and 1 smaller, pointed brush for precise definition and smudging.

Pictured above is my Eye Shadow Trio in Smoky Black Code: 22918 containing Black, Silver and White shades of eyeshadow. The product is also available in five other shades: Smoky Brown, Bronze Taupe, Sheer Purple, Shimmering Green and Royal Blue.

How to apply Oriflame Beauty Pro Colour Eye Shadow Trio:

Oriflame's Recommendation

Step 1 - Start by dividing the eye into three sections - with the rounded applicator, apply the lightest shade in the inner corner, the medium shade in the middle and the darkest shade in the outer corner.

Step 2 - With the pointed applicator, smudge and contour the shadow, finishing in a triangle around the whole corner of the eye, swooping it slightly upwards to create the cat eye look featuring on the catwalks around the world.

My Recommendation and finished look

I found it easier to blend the shadow with a hair eyeshadow brush, as opposed to the the round sponge brush included. However, I did find the smaller brush useful to add the white to the inside corners of my eyes precisely and intensely. Below I'm wearing the Smoky Black version for an evening out, but for a day time smoky eye look I'd recommend the Smoky Brown version to complement a fair complexion. I'm also wearing the Oriflame Beauty Reveal Kit below my eyebrow line as I prefer to wear a shimmer there instead of continuing an eyeshadow colour up higher.

How to use Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit

Oriflame’s Celebrity Make-up Artist, Jonas Wramell provides two simple steps to using the Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit:

1.       ‘Using the angled brush, work the colour through your brows in short strokes.

2.       To shape and set, apply the wax in short, upward motions using the white wax brush.’*

Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit product description:

Compact, all-in-one kit for creating perfectly defined eyebrows with a natural-looking finish. A professional brow look has never been easier. Contains 2 bendable brow shadows, 2 brushes and setting wax. 3 g. RRP £7.95
