Two-Week Challenge + Fast Review: Oriflame EcoBeauty Smoothing Night Cream

EcoBeauty is the latest skincare series launched by Oriflame, which each product is made of natural ingredients with eco-friendly system. EcoBeauty series consists of three products: Day Cream, Night Cream and Eye Cream. There are two main ingredients inside the products, namely Coconut Oil and Shea Butter.

Oriflame EcoBeauty Smoothing Night Cream

I made this post due to the moment of Earth Day and my first experience using night cream for two weeks, when i thought night cream would make my face super-greasy in the morning after i woke up. I was too afraid it might break out with pimples, since the weather in most every night was never cold. I didn't want to be "melted".

This night cream comes with a recycled-paper box and a written instruction. It contains 50ml of white smooth cream in a pump bottle. The packaging is also sterile because of the small pump makes the amount of cream needed to be controlled.

It comes with a small hygiene pump

When i applied the cream, it felt somehow a bit sticky and a little warm. Maybe it's because i'm not used to wear any cream, so it is a subjective opinion. It took about 3-5 minutes to be absorbed by my skin. After that, i still had the sticky feeling but not until one week later. It was a fast adaption, isn't it?

It's not too watery, not too thick, it's just creamy.

Before we go to the final result, here's my "before" condition:

Acne scars: Yes

Big pores: Yes

The only thing annoyed me is the scent of Coconut Oil even not so strong, but now i'm getting used to it.

Two weeks later..

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Location, Weather: Remain the same

Skin color: Natural beige, a bit lighter

Acne scars: some scars area disappear

Big pores: seem smaller

Overall result:

-My face feels hydrated.

-When i wake up in the morning, there isn't much excess sebum like before i haven't used the cream.

-No feeling of irritated skin. I feel really fine with this.

-Some of the acne scars and the redness area disappear, but i think it can't do more than that, since it's not     specialized for acne scars.

-My pores seem smaller. There's no big difference, but when i do my makeup regiment, i can see the change.

No more big pores on the camera~~

Do not be tricked by the picture above. FYI, before I used this night cream, whatever BB Cream I applied  to my acne scars, they were always seen on camera (without app 360 of course). But with the night cream usage, those scars have started to disappear a little bit, but as you can see, I looked kinda flawless on camera. You like selfies? Go taking care of your pores XD

Anyway, i got it for IDR 99.000 (that time was discounted 50% :p). With that 50 ml cream, you can use it approximately 4-5 months for regular usage. Some sources even stated that Oriflame EcoBeauty Smoothing Night Cream is suitable for all skin type!

Possibility of repurchase: i don't know, maybe no

Scores: 4 out of 5 black roses

Review Oriflame Very Me Eye Envy Eye Shadow in Cocoa Glaze

I was looking for a duo eye shadow with nude colors for everyday look or lighter smokey make up. Then, I saw an Oriflame catalogue, and I didn’t know why I always like checking catalogues, the pictures seems attractive to me even though my wallet content wasn’t attractive enough :P

Source: Oriflame
Another shades available are Pretty Green, Green Fushion, Downtown Grey, Iced Purple, Lady Lilac, and Blue Edge. You may visit Oriflame website to see the color.

This time is Very Me Eye Envy Eye Shadow from Oriflame Very Me collection. There are seven (7) duo color choices and I picked Cocoa Glaze, the brown ones. Actually I have bought it months ago, so you can see the pictures, the packaging already became a little dull. It came with a little practical compact contained 1.9 grams of eye shadow with no applicator provided in it. The ingredients list was attached at the top of the lid. The sticker placement was kinda annoying, but thanks for telling me the ingredients, since you rarely tell what your products were made of which make us have to check your website, Oriflame J

My duo eyeshadow

Here is the ingredients list

There is also the expired date

As the name given to the color, Cocoa Glaze represents the color of chocolate. The lighter brown is shimmery, while the darker is matte with a little bit shimmer. However, the colors don’t really show up as similar as what you can see in the palette, which maybe caused of the smooth and powdery texture. That’s why you need a primer or eye makeup base in this case.

Up: Colors with flash
Down: Colors without flash

Swatches Up: No primer, without flash-with flash
Swatches Down: With primer, without flash-with flash

I personally love the colors! I think I made a right choice. It’s good enough for the daily make up. You can get the eye shadow by contacting Oriflame member. The actual price is IDR 65,000, but I always buy Oriflame’s stuff at discounts. Remember Mama Yuri said: Discounts save your life and your wallet.

Pros:

• Cheapy cheap, if there is a special offer price.
• Pretty colors
• Good choice for natural look or simple smokey brown make up
• Easy to carry around.
• Good staying power; about 5-6 hours with primer, 3-4 without primer.
• May be used as a nose and face contour or on brow bones.
• There is a bit fragrant if your sense of smelling is quite sensitive

Cons:

• The colors aren’t pigmented without primer
• The actual price may be too pricy
• The texture may be chalky
• Didn’t come with applicator (however, there are people who prefer buy it separately)

Oriflame Very Me Eye Envy Eye Shadow in Cocoa Glaze may be suitable for person who:

• In a hurry and do make up on the way.
• Likes natural make up (everyday look).
• A beginner user of eye shadow.
• Likes travelling, it won’t take much place!

Oriflame Very Me Eye Envy Eye Shadow in Cocoa Glaze may be not suitable for person who:

• Doesn’t like chalky or powdery texture.
• Doesn’t like applying primer or make up base.
• Prefers the very pigmented eye shadow.

Here’s how I looked like with Cocoa Glaze (also with another 'supports'):
\

Eye shadow: Oriflame Very Me Eye Envy, blended with Bless Eye Shadow in Black
Eyeliner: simple liner of Oriflame Kajal Eyeliner
Primer: Pixy Radiant Finish Lightening Cream Complete Barrier

Possibility of repurchasing: No, I’m interested with another product.

Product rating: 4 of 5 black roses~
