A while ago, I've recieved a beautiful little package from a high-school friend of mine. It really was such a pleasant surprise not only because I got to try some Oriflame goodies but because I fall for sentimental things such as hand written notes. My heart melted when I saw a photo of us, I think it was from first grade in high-school. I'd show you the photo but there's also one more girl on it so I'm not sure how she'd feel about a very public blast from the past. Maybe I'll show it on my Facebook page and blurr ot the rest of faces. But in a nutshell, we have blemishes on my chin on display, greasy hair and tons of black eyeliner. Ahhh, the good old days when we were all awkward teenagers. It would be near impossible to catch me in such a getup today but high-school days have such a special place in all of our hearts, I guess. However, no more black eye shadow and eyeliner for me. Dry shampoo is also my best friend. What I have received are tons of samples and quite a handful of goodies. I haven't tried anything from Oriflame in ages so this was a trip down the memory lane.
Prije nekog vremena sam dobila prekrasan paketic od prijateljice iz srednjoskolskih dana sto me jako obradovalo. Ne samo zbog toga sto sam nakon mnogo godina ponovo dosla u kontakt sa Oriflame stvarcicama nego zato sto sam sentimentalna Racica koja pada na rucno napisane poruke (hvala Hana!). Srce mi se istopilo kada sam u koverti ugledala nasu sliku, cini mi se, iz prvog razreda srednje skole. Pokazala bih vam fotku no takodjer je jos jedna djevojka na njoj pa ne znam da li bi joj se bas dopalo da se sjecanja iz srednje osvjeze na tako javan nacin. Mozda je jednom podijelim na Facebook stranici kad sakrijem lica osim svog. No u sustini vidjele bi me u klasicnom tinejdzerskom izdanju – poneka hormonalna aknica na bradi, masna kosa i mnogo crne olovke za oci. Ahhh, dobri stari dani kada smo svi bili u cudnim tinejdzerskim fazama. Sada nema sanse da bi me uhvatile u takvom izdanju no mislim da srednjoskolska sjecanja imaju posebno mjesto u nasim srcima. Ipak, naucila sam iz gresaka i za mene nema vise crne sjene za oci i crne olovke. I moj najbolji prijatelj je sampon za suho pranje kose. Ono sto sam dobila jeste mnostvo testera i prilicnu kolicinu full size proizvoda. Jako dugo vremena nisam koristila nista iz Oriflame-a a ako pozelite da se i vi podsjetite na njih, svakako da moja prijateljica ima preporuku od mene. Mozete je pronaci na ovom linku. Znate vec da se kataloska prodaja vrsi putem (ocigledno) kataloga, tacnije, vrijednih dama koje posreduju. Ne mogu nista reci za cijene jer pojedine proizvode nisam mogla naci u posljednjem katalogu ali cesto budu na snizenju. Npr.piling i kerma za lice trenutno kostaju 5,50KM.
Let's start with some skincare bits. I got a face scrub and a moisturizing day cream from the Oriflame Essentials range. Both feature a multi-vitamin complex and apricot extract. These are intended for everyday use and I love the way they smell. It'a a sweet, fruity, peachy scent with a hint of apricots. Not sickly sweet, quite charming actually. The scrub features PVC beads which is actually the best kind of manual exfoliator, I think. Much better than e.g.ground walnut shells. It isn't too abrasive but you can feel that it's doing something. The face cream is truly lovely. A very basic, light in texture cream suitable for everyday use. I think normal skin and young skin without imperfections could find this to be a perfect basic moisturizer. The design is also very cheerful and cute with mini apricots drawn all over. You know that I don't fancy the color pink but I'm obsessed with this dinky Oriflame compact mirror. For some reason I feel in love with it and carry it in my purse every day. Very cute and convenient. I got two Oriflame make-up sponges which I honestly don't use as much. I prefer my fingers or brushes but I'll find a way to engage them somehow.
Pocnimo od njege koze. Dobila sam piling i kremu za lice iz Essentials linije. Oba proizvoda sadrze multivitaminski kompleks i ekstrakt kajsije. Ovi su proizvodi namijenjeni za svakodnevnu upotrebu i jako mi se dopada njihov vockasto-breskvasti miris uz dasak note kajsije. Cak je jako sarmantan. Piling sadrzi kuglice od plastike sto je po mom misljenju najbolji vid mehanickog pilinga, za razliku od npr.mljevene kore oraha. Plasticne sfere su njeznije spram koze zbog odsustva ostrih ivica no ipak osjetite da piling radi svoj posao. Krema za lice je divna. Dosta je jednostavna, lagane teksture i namijenjena je za svakodnevnu upotrebu. Mislim da bi odgovarala normalnoj kozi i mladoj kozi koja nije problematicna. Dizajn mi je takodjer simpatican zbog iscrtanih mini kajsija. Znate da nisam ljubiteljica ruzicaste boje ali sam se zaljubila u ovo Oriflame kompaktno ogledalce. Nosim ga u neseseru svaki dan i pokazalo se da je, kako slatko, tako i prakticno. Dobila sam i dvije Oriflame spuzvice za nanosenje make-upa. Iako preferiram koristiti ciste prstice ili kistove, pronaci cu im vec neku namjenu.
I'm really impressed with the Oriflame Eye Liner Stylo in Brown. It looks ordinary but works amazingly well. It's of a pen-like, marker tip which isn't as thin yet it lets me create thin and thick lines as I please. It's of a dark brown coloring and it's lasting power is really decent. Good, affordable eye liner. The Oriflame Power Shine Lip Crayon in Glazed Strawberry is actually a nicely pigmented chubby lip pencil although it does resemble a tinted lip balm. I like the juicy reddish color but I'm not sold on the gold shimmer. Still, it looks surprisingly well and is a nice way to bring some color into an every day look. It also smells yummy. Finally, we have another cutie pie that entered my nail polish collection – Oriflame Pure Colour Nail Polish in Bright Pink. Cute color and even cuter packaging. Bottles look adorable but the brush could be improved (couldbe chubbier). It goes on nicely and has an average durability of 2-3 days. I am really pleased to be reintroduced to Oriflame and even might make an order. Do you like Oriflame and have you ever tried some of their bits?
Impresionirao me Oriflame tecni tus u olovci (nijansa Brown). Djeluje potpuno obicno no jako je dobar. Vrh tj. aplikator je slican uskom flomasteru i nije isuvise tanak no dopusta mi iscrtavanje kako tanjih, tako i debljih linija uz rub trepavica. Tamno smedje je boje hladnijeg podtona i trajnost mu je zaista pristojna. Oriflame Power Shine olovka za usne (nijansa Glazed Strawberry) je debeljuskasta olovka/ruz za usne koja me jako podsjeca na balzam za usne u boji. Dopada mi se socna crvenkasta boja iako nisam presretna zbog zlacanog shimmera. Bez obzira, iznenadjujuce je lijepa, ugodne teksture i savrsen je nacin da se ubaci dasak boje u svakodnevni make-up. Takodjer je socnog mirisa. Za kraj, imamo Oriflame Pure Colour lak za nokte (nijansa Bright Pink). Slatke je boje i jos sladjeg pakovanja. Bocice su jako simpaticne no na cetkici bi se moglo poraditi (da bude nesto deblja, time da nanosenje bude olaksano). Lijepo se nanosi i prosjecnog je trajanja na noktima, od 2-3 dana. Ugodno sam iznenadjena ponovnim upoznavanjem sa Oriflame-om pa bih mogla napraviti i jednu narudzbicu. Da li ste vi ljubiteljice Oriflame-a, da li ste nekada koristile njihove proizvode?
