Uncategorized, , , , , ,

These are named Quick Dry Nail Polish…

What the Company claims: Many exciting shades. Match them with your makeup, your clothes or your mood – you will find them here! 8 ml.

There are some 22-23 shades to choose from..


I have the shades Romance and Silver Pink..both are quite sheer…you need atleast 2-3 coats of this nail paints to show up on the nails..but they are nice for that subtle sheeny effect when you do not want your nails to be too bright…I do like to try different things on nails depending on my mood.

Romance is a sheer baby pink with multi colored shimmer..gives a duo chromatic effect.. and Silver Pink is a sheer off white with silver and pink shimmer..

Romance

Silver Pink

Pros:

1. Nice subtle sheer shades for that neutral just glossy sheen.
2. Cheap as you get 8 ml..enough qty.
3. Dries very fast.
4. Decent brush and gives even application.

Cons:

1. You can only get it from an Oriflame consultant.
2. Has Toluene and Formaldehyde.

Overall pretty decent..you can try..

Oriflame Discover Phuket Exotic Paradise Body Scrub Review

I had bought this too with my other Oriflame purchases. Its a body scrub from their Discover Phuket range. Its gel like in texture with very small green beads i.e the jojoba esters in it for exfoliation.

What the Company claims: Get soft skin and enjoy the sparling zesty scent.

Directions for use : Apply on wet skin in circular movements and rinse.

MRP- Rs 349/- for 200 ml (I got it for Rs.198/-)

Ingredients: AQUA, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, GLYCERIN, POLYETHYLENE, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE,ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, PARFUM, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, METHYLPARABEN,JOJOBA ESTERS, BENZOPHENONE-4, 2-BROMO-2-NITROPROPANE-1,3-DIOL, CI 77288, CI 19140, CI 42090

Pros:
1. I love the smell !! Its very exotic kind truly.
2. It exfoliates well. I felt the difference.
3. A little bit is needed and it foams a lot.
4. I liked the tube packaging.Handy..
5. Its perfect as a body scrub.

Cons:
1. Has SLS…please don’t use it on your face. Its not mentioned but I won’t recommend that as SLS washes away the moisture from your upper layer of skin…which is very thin on the face.
2. Price…if not on offer..349 is a bit steep for this.
3. May be a bit drying for dry skinned people.

Oriflame Soothing Foot Cream Review

I am not much into foot creams but when I saw this in the Oriflame catalog..I thought of giving it a try and I am happy I did..read on..

What the Company claims: With a unique blend of moisturisers, chamomile and primrose to soften and soothe. For best results, remove hard skin with the Footfile and massage into feet.

MRP – Rs. 198/- for 75 ml (I got it for Rs. 158/-)

Ingredients : AQUA, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, UREA, GLYCERIN, PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUM, SODIUM CETEARYL SULFATE, CETEARETH-12, DIMETHICONE, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, PARFUM, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, LIMONENE, HEXYL CINNAMAL, SORBITOL, CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA EXTRACT, PRIMULA VULGARIS, LINALOOL

It is a white colored light cream with a pleasant minty smell. I apply it at night and leave them overnight..the feet are so soft and smooth to touch the next day. I do not have cracks but my mom has..she used it and found a lot of relief in her cracked heels too.

Pros:

1. It moisturises feet amazingly well and leaves them all soft to touch.
2. I love the minty smell.
3. Economical at 198 plus there are always discounts coming up every month..I would suggest to stock it up at a discount.

5. Fulfills what it claims.
6. Tube packaging which is hygienic.

Cons:

1. Availability..as for all Oriflame products..through consultants. They do have an online option. Check out the Oriflame India site.
2. If you apply a bit too much you would feel greasy and have to wait for it to sink in.
3. It has parabens.

Overall rating- 4/5

Oriflame Coconut and Rice Milk Nourishing Shampoo Review

Let me share with you all my experience with  this shampoo which sounds very good !!
When I first saw this shampoo in the catalog along with the other two shampoos..i.e Cotton and Wild rose Protecting and White Nettle and Papaya Anti Dandruff 2 in 1 Shampoo plus Conditioner. I loved the way it was described and it sounded too good. So I ordered it and then what happened read on…
What does the Company claim : Inspire your dry hair with a lavish, indulgent shampoo with exquisite natural extracts of coconut oil and rice milk to hydrate, nurture and condition.
A mild and gentle shampoo to effectively cleanse and nourish hair.
Directions for use : Apply to wet hair, massage into a rich lather and rinse.
Price: Rs.99 for 100 ml and Rs 159 for 200 ml. (I got it for Rs 79)

Ingredients :  AQUA, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, GLYCOL DISTEARATE, LAURETH-4, PARFUM, SODIUM CITRATE, POLYQUATERNIUM-7, GLYCERIN, 2-BROMO-2-NITROPROPANE-1,3-DIOL, COCOS NUCIFERA, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, SINE ADIPE LAC, TRIDECETH-9, ORYZA SATIVA BRAN EXTRACT

It is white in color and is runny. It has a very unpleasant strong coconuty smell.
Cons :


1.The smell !! It has a very strong coconut smell which is similar to a cheap coconut toffee…may be similar to that small red kismi toffee :p
2. It does not lather.
3. It does not remove oil.
4. t did nothing to my hair except giving it a limp feeling.
5. Has SLS and loads of other chemicals.
Pros :


1.   The bottle is good with a tight enough flip cap. I would re-use this to store something else while travelling.
2.    Its expiry is 3 years from the date of manufacture..i would probably use this for pedicure or something  :p
Rating- 1/5
Would I buy it again –Noooo…Never !!!
