Review: Oriflame The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eyeshadow in Rose Gold

Oriflame The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eyeshadow

in 'Rose Gold'

 

A few years ago, when I started using makeup more seriously than just mascara, an item I really loved was a cream eyeshadow I had from Essence. I like the versatility of an "all over the lid shade", so I decided to find a new one to try.

I decided to try out this one by Oriflame. It's part of their line of products called The ONE and I got mine in the shade Rose Gold.

Colour Impact Eyeshadow in the shade Rose Gold

The packaging is nice, nothing special but still neat. The lid is a pinkish purple color and the bottom part is transparent, so it makes it easy to see the color of the eyeshadow if you want to store it on it's side.

I think this will be a nice everyday shade, just like I wanted.

On the online website this is it's description: "Innovative eye shadow with supreme colour intensity. Goes on creamy and transforms into a powder with a soft, velvety sheen. Buildable coverage for bold finish. Crease resistant formula for even colour that lasts".

I did my best to swatch it. Having long nails makes it impossible for me to dip my finger in the product, so I did my best with an eyeshadow brush. 

On the top swatch I packed the color a bit more and it's definitely buildable as they advertise.

 I was able to apply it on my eyelids with a brush quite easily. It did feel soft and velvety, and it definitely turned into more of a powder when applied, just like the description said.
It was buildable without going over the top too quickly. It also gave me no problems while blending it.

The color definitely was what I expected, a nice peachy shade with shimmer that isn't too intense for everyday wear. I personally like these shades to wear on a daily basis.

I had no problem applying my eyeliner over it and even when a bit of mascara ended up on my lid, when wiping it away with a cotton swab gently, it didn't remove the eyeshadow.
The only think I didn't like about this eyeshadow is that I noticed it did crease a bit, so if that's something that bothers you, this might not be the best choice.
I removed it about 6 hours after and it still looked nice.

Final thoughts:

★★★☆☆
I really like this eyeshadow so far and think it's good. Lasts for quite a while, easy to apply and blend and overall is a nice shade that will look good on many skin tones. It does crease a bit but I don't mind that.
If these show up in future catalogues, I might buy more. :)

Oriflame's The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eyeshadow costs originally 13€ but I got mine on sale for 8,95€.

Until next time!

Review: Oriflame Spiced Citrus soap bar and hand cream

Review of Oriflame Spiced Citrus

Soap Bar and Hand Cream

For this holiday season Oriflame launched a hand cream and soap bar duo with a new scent, this time revolving around citruses and spices. I love citrus scented cosmetics in the winter, so when I tried the scent of these new products on a "scratch and sniff" kind of sample they placed in the last catalogue, it seemed like a heavenly scent to me. I decided to get both and try them out and here's my review after using both for a few days now. 

The soap is a glycerin type, so it's slightly transparent and looks very appealing. I read the ingredients and I might be wrong but I am pretty sure the little black dots are palm kernel that act as a scrub. It is in a cute shape and looks like a slice of orange, which I quite like.

My problem with this soap is that I'm not a big fan of the hard kernels, and although they are not damaging to the skin, they are hard enough to be noticed while using the soap, so if you prefer smooth soaps like I do, take that into consideration. 

However, this is the only thing I found negative about it. 

The smell is just divine. 

It has just enough of a punch of citrus and spices that will linger on the skin shortly after a shower but won't give you a headache. 

My skin felt nice after using it, nothing special, but the smell left was definitely very, very pleasant!

The hand cream has the exact same smell. It has a white, orange-ish color and medium consistency. The smell lingers on the skin for a quite a while. 

Not exactly sure if it hydrates more then most hand creams since only Lipikar Xerand by La Roche Posay works to keep my hands hydrated due to a chronic Dyshidrotic Eczema that I have on both hands (maybe someday I'll make a post about that...). Nonetheless, my hands feel soft after I use it.

Final thoughts:

I would definitely buy the hand cream again but I'm not so sure about the soap. It will depend on how many uses it lasts and if I get used to the kernels.

The soap contains 75g and costs 3€, I got mine on sale for 0,95€.

The hand cream contains 75ml and costs 7€, I got mine on sale for 1,95€.

Until next time!
