 Step 2: To look as natural as possible don’t overdo it and remember to blend the foundation into your neckline and onto your ears too!

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.’*

How to use Oriflame Beauty Wonder Liner

The new Oriflame Beauty Wonder Liner is a liquid eyeliner which comes with a 2 in 1 applicator to provide a thin or thick effect. 'It helps draw a steady line with the right quantity of liquid eye liner dispensed every time to give a dramatic and long-lasting look.

How to use Oriflame Beauty Wonder Liner

Look 1 – Day
Begin your line, starting at the very corner closest to your nose, with the thinnest applicator effect, and follow your lash line outwards, slowly working towards the thickest effect as you draw. Stop at the outer corner of your eye.

Look 2 – Night
The swish: apply the upper line as usual, then, using the lower lash line as a guide, draw the line on your outer eye to the desired thickness. As this line continues along the lower lash line, it will achieve the perfect eye look, and ensure your face appear symmetrical.’*

The new Wonder Liner is available with Oriflame Beauty Wonder Lash Intense Mascara on a special offer price of £9.95 for the duration of catalogue 10, while stocks last.

Oriflame Nail Growth Booster - How to use it & Review

Oriflame Beauty Nail Growth Booster is a personal favourite of mine and I use it regularly. Whilst I was on holiday I thought I'd write a post on how to use it as its a question frequently asked by customers and also provide a brief review based on my personal experiences.

How to use Oriflame Beauty Nail Growth Booster:
1) Apply the product to your nails in the same way as you would a nail varnish.
2) Once applied, massage the gel into the nail and cuticle with your finger until its fully absorbed.
3) Repeat twice a day for maximum effect.

Oriflame Beauty Nail Growth Booster Review:
Oriflame Beauty Nail Growth Booster comes in the same packaging as a regular nail polish and has the form of a green gel with little white dots through it. Unlike nail polish, it has no smell other than a slight Kiwi scent and is of a different texture.

For me, the main advantages of the product are that it absorbs quickly once it has been massaged into the nails and I genuinely do notice my nails feel stronger after I have used it. I usually have soft nails which tear easily and I find not only are they stronger but they grow much quicker than usual after I have used Oriflame Growth Booster. If you find your nails feel a little brittle after using Growth Booster then I've found that applying a nail butter helps to minimise this.

I typically use the Growth Booster three or four times a week unless I need my nails to grow quickly when I would apply it twice a day but, ultimately, it comes down to how much time you have for your daily nail care routine and, just as importantly, the type of nails you have.

Overall rating 5/5 - It does what it says on the tin!

The Growth Booster is usually £4.75 for 7ml (Regular price/10ml: £6.78) but I'd recommend waiting until it is on special offer as the Oriflame Catalogues change every 4 weeks.

How to sell Oriflame products

To start selling Oriflame products you will first need to open an account. It is FREE to join and is open to anyone in the UK who is aged 18 or over. The registration form can either be completed online or on paper and, regardless of which option you choose, Ori-Beauty can help you to do this quickly and easily either via our Facebook page or simply by emailing info@ori-beauty.co.uk. Once you have registered you will receive a supply of Oriflame catalogues and you're ready to go! It really is that quick and simple!

So now you have joined Oriflame and have receieved your catalogues - what next?!?! Don't panic! Below we have put together a few ideas on How to sell Oriflame products:

1) Family and friends - Start by showing the Oriflame catalogue to your family and friends.
2) Work colleagues - Take a catalogue along to work for your colleagues to see.
3) Neighbours - Let your neighbours know that you've become their local Oriflame Consultant and show them the catalogue.
4) Facebook - Reach out to all the people in your network. The latest Oriflame catalogue is always available to view online at Current Oriflame Catalogue - just post a link to the latest catalogue on your wall. Finally, you could even start your own selling page on Facebook and start getting orders from people you have never even met before!

What else can you try? Now you have become more confident and gotten to know the product range here's a few more ideas:

5) Local amenities - Leave catalogues with your contact details (make sure you remember to put your contact details on the catalogue!) in places like your local community hall, hairdressers, doctors surgery etc.
6) Have a party - whether it's just a few friends having a girls night or whether you want to book regular weekly parties in your local area this can be a great way to showcase the products, allow customers to try before they buy and, of course, have some fun!
7) Door-to-door - Another option is to go door to door in your local area with catalogues. You can either post the catalogues with an order form and your contact details through the door or, our preferred option, knock the door and talk to the people! It may seem daunting but people really do buy from people and if you can connect with them you are much more likely to gain a long term customer.

Top tips on selling Oriflame products - Tried and tested!

1) It's recommended that you collect your Oriflame Catalogue no later than 48 hours after giving it out.
2) Point out special offers - people are more likely to buy than if they are just handed a closed book. We find coloured post it notes are a cost effective but great way of highlighting the things you think are most appropriate for your customer.
3) Put packages together. Every catalogue Oriflame puts together some great bundles and packages but there is nothing to stop you creating your own e.g. create a sensitive skin care package with a cleanser, toner, day cream and night cream and show the customer how much they will save if they order during this catalogue period. It is a good idea to use some of the products already on offer in that catalogue to increase the value to your customer.
4) Use the products yourself and let people know what you're buying for your own use - friends generally have the same 'likes' and tastes and often will rely on your recommendations. Imagine how powerful it would be to visit a customer, have them compliment your fragrance and then you can sell them the fragrance!
5) Finally, remember the age old saying that people buy from people - it is SO true!

Oriflame Beauty Terracotta Powder - How to apply

Oriflame's new Terracotta Powder has just launched and is an ideal replacement for the discontinued Sun Powder code: 12806. The new powder is available in "Natural Bronze" code: 22855 and provides a natural glow all year round.

How to apply Oriflame's Terracotta Powder

'Sculpted to Perfection

The Oriflame Beauty Terracotta Powder is a wonderful yet subtle way to highlight your natural beauty.

Blowing away any excess powder off the Oriflame Beauty Bronzing Brush, draw a large "3", starting from the temples at the side of the head, swooping underneath the cheeks, and finishing just below the corners of the mouth. This will sculpt and highlight the cheekbones wonderfully, as well as sculpting the temples and chin.'*

If you are a fan of Oriflame's Terracotta Powder, you may also like their bronzing pearls as these are available in 2 shades to best suit your skin tone.
