OROFLUIDO review

Hello darlings, how are you today? :)

For today I'm gonna review Orofluido - new hair products line you can buy in
DM - Drogerie Markt Srbija (only for Serbia, I suppose you can buy it in bigger stores worldwide,
or through eBay and feelunique.com).

 I got shampoo, conditioner and elixir. There is also a hair mask, which I didn't try yet. Let's start with the first two. :)

- Orofluido shampoo and conditioner -

This great value OROFLUIDO Shampoo & Conditioner Duo is worth over 25 euro and includes:

- OROFLUIDO Beauty Shampoo for Your Hair 200ml

OROFLUIDO Beauty Shampoo for Your Hair is the beauty treatment for all hair types that delicately cleanses to leave hair light and shiny. A pure luxuriance that envelops the hair. Three organic natural oils in a formula with a pleasant, silky texture. The delicious amber fragrance with a vanilla foundation will transport you into a fascinating world of oriental perfume.

- OROFLUIDO Beauty Conditioner for Your Hair 200ml
 
OROFLUIDO Beauty Conditioner for Your Hair is a daily rinse-out beauty balm for all hair types. Leaves hair silky, loose and shiny, makes detangling easier. The delicious amber fragrance with a vanilla foundation will transport you into a fascinating world of oriental perfume.
 

  




 Ingredients:

 
 

 ARGAN OIL

   Extracted from the seeds of the Argania Spinosa fruit, Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. It strengthens hair and makes it extremely silky. This oil penetratesthe hair and enhances its elasticity.

CYPERUS OIL

It is the source of an oil with a high content of fatty acids and tocopherol, which give natural protection against free radicals. It provides softness and volume, leaving hair manageable, smooth and flexible.

LINSEED OIL

The seeds of the linen plant are the source of a precious oil which seals and smoothes the hair cuticle, providing uniformity and control. The result is hair that captures and reflects the light, giving it a spectacular shine.


My impressions

Shampoo is good, nice smell, makes nice foam, but to be honest - nothing too impressive and different from the other average and cheaper shampoos. I needed to use a lot of product to wash my hair, and 200 ml for 15 euros is a bit pricy. It's concentrated, lathers well, gets all styling products out of my hair, rinses easily, doesn't strip my color, and has that wonderful ambery/vanilla scent. But it's slightly drying and doesn't do anything special for my hair.

Conditioner has salon-inspired pump and dispenses "a rich, shimmery conditioner that moisturizes and detangles all hair types." I am not impressed -  the conditioner does not detangle hair no matter how much you use, BUT hair instantly absorbes the oils and immidiately look shiny and healthy. Also leaves delicious-smelling hair. For me it's essential for a conditioner to leave my hair smooth, silky and detangled. I have really long hair so it's important for me that I can easily comb it after washing, because I don't want my hair to be broken. I like shampoo more than conditioner.
Also, for this price of 15e there is just too little product.


- Orofluido elixir -
 



Ingredients are the same as in shampoo and conditioner, and with this elixir is totally different story! 
I LOVE IT! When it comes to evaluating new hair care products, we all look for the three S’s: soft, shiny, strong. This fragrant serum delivers all three, making it one of my new favorites. Incidentally, since we’re also suckers for that other big S, scent, I can’t get enough of the amber and vanilla notes that drift up every time I flip my hair. :) It comes in three different sizes, I have the smallest one (25ml) and it costs about 10e.  

How it Works

This serum relies on a triple-treat of standout oils: argan oil strengthens strands; linseed oil smoothes cuticles to leave hair shiny; and Cyperus oil fortifies and boosts manageability.

How to Use

Quick-absorbing and lightweight, this oil works on damp or dry strands. Take three to four drops between the palms of your hands and distribute evenly through damp hair. Style as usual. You can also work a couple drops through dry ends or use a tiny amount to calm flyaways.


My impressions

  • With a satin, quick penetrating texture
  • Contains Argan Oil, Cyperus Oil & Linseed Oil to add shine & detangle hair
  • Adds body & movement to hair
  • Minimizes drying time without leaving residue in the hair
  • Infused with a delicious oriental fragrance of amber & vanilla
  • Leaves hair smooth, radiant & manageable
  • Perfect for all skin types 

A WARM, SENSUAL FRAGRANCE

A fragrance that makes you feel cared for and sophisticated. It opens with a citrusy note that combines perfectly with the soft floral body, leaving behind a trace of vanilla, amber and precious woods: pure exoticism and mystery.


I'd describe this hair oil itself as having a consistency near that of olive oil, though slightly thicker, able to sit in your hand for a bit as a gel would before running. This elixir does wonders to tame split ends and allow yor hair to sit politely on your head without fraying every which-way! I wouldn't describe it as "weightless," per se, though I used a few good dime-sized dollops on my underwaist-length hair and it didn't at all feel greasy or heavy. If you want that clean, "silken" look, I think this is the product you're looking for. :) 

Did I mention that I absolutely adore the packaging? Glowing gold through a perfectly transparent bottle adorned with swirling and cascading black lettering, it looks more expensive than it is (and that is still saying something.) If you've got dry hair or a problem with split ends, definitely give this a go.


Overall:

Packaging: 5/5
Smell: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Size: 2/5
Quality: shampoo and conditioner 4/5, elixir 10/10! :)
Healthy and shiny hair: 5/5
Easily detangled hair: shampoo and conditioner 3/5, elixir 5/5

New Year's look with Lime Crime and Sephora

New Year's eve is in four days, so I wanted to do a make up look inspired by it,
and also to review Lime Crime Carousel Gloss and Sephora Glitter eyeshadow. This is just an idea, you can play with colours and shades to create your own perfect New Year's look. :)

Products I used:



Sephora Glitter Eyeshadow
- N° 13 Curacao Punch - Bright Aquamarine Glitter  -




Sephora Curacao Punch (13) Eyeshadow is described as a “bright aquamarine with
silver glitter.” It’s a bright, medium blue with a hint of teal and silver glitter.
The underlying color has a metallic finish. 


The color payoff is just so-so when applied dry, but it is incredibly pigmented and intense when applied using a dampened brush. The glitter also adhered better initially when the product is applied to the lid with a wet brush, because when it is used dry, there is a ton of glitter fall out during the application process. Unsurprisingly, the big downfall to Curacao Punch is the glitter fall out during wear, and is noticeable after five hours or so of wear. The actual blue color last eight and a half hours well, and it look a bit faded after a full ten. I noticed some very slight staining when I wore this shade without primer. It feels soft, despite the heavy glitter content, and smoothes out nicely on the skin.

All in all I really like this eyeshadow!

Lime Crime Carousel Lipgloss
- Present - 



"Carousel Gloss boasts semi-opaque coverage combined with bursts of nebulesque sparkle that comes alive in indoor lighting. Cruelty-free/vegan formula glides on smoothly on bare lips or over your favorite lipstick. Each gloss arrives in a sumptuous purple foil box resembling an antique merry-go-round."

Present is a deep plummy rose with magenta-pink sparkles.
  • Opacity: 8/10 (i.e. you can get by without lip liner or lipstick underneath)
  • Ease of application: 8/10
  • Drama: 7/10
  • Good for: Most skin tones
 
 The glitter is much more apparent in real life, and this lipgloss has really nice vanilla smell. It is also really sticky. If you layer it over a deep cool-toned rose colored lipstick or liner, it will come off more dramatic. Shines like a gloss, pigmented like a lipstick, and is loaded to the brim with sparkle.



Perfect shade for holidays. :)

My favourite red lipsticks!

Today I thought I'd do a review of my favourite red lipsticks, so I'm going to be reviewing the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in the colour "Kiss of life" or "111", then Illamasqua's "Maneater" and the last one for this post will be Deborah Milano Atomic Red Mat "05".

So lets start! :)

Rimmel - Kate Moss "Kiss of life" or "111"

 

 
The colour is a really deep, bright red with orange undertone, and depending on how much is applied, can either just add a little bit of colour to your lips, or provide total coverage. I was actually shocked by it's velvety texture, at how bright the colour was, and how easily it could be applied.

The texture is generally really light, and it's easy to rub in if you don't want the colour to be as strong. I am generally really pleased with this product. The smell is really nice, it's affordable, smooth, and long-wearing. It makes your lips look so plush and luscious. It doesn't dry your lips, actually no more drying or hydrating than any other drugstore lipstick. 

 But, it transfers like CRAZY on anything you eat or drink, and also this lipstick looks awesome as it fades; a slightly rich stain is left behind. This shade is more matte then shiny, and I like that. 




 Illamasqua - "Maneater" + "Feisty"  


 
Described as a "cherry red" on the website, I think this is indeed a bright red with very little blue undertone. This is a matte formula, which can be very drying, but if your lips aren't terribly dry, lip balm will solve the problem. I love this colour and it was my first from Illamasqua.
The lipstick tube is very sleek.

I find it a little hard to get precision when applying straight from the bullet, so I use brushes and Feisty lip liner, and for me this lipstick is generally very hard
 to apply because of it's dry texture.

It has satin-matte finish, rich, opaque pigmentation, and nice vanilla smell. Maneater formula lasts forever, barely transfers when eating or drinking and feels smooth on the lips. 




Deborah - Atomic Red Mat "05" 



 
This lipstick is a red shade that looks more cool toned in certain lighting and warmer in others. It's because of the orange AND blue undertones, so it's pretty much neutral. It's also slightly darker than previous two shades.

 Excellent quality, great lasting power, very creamy & moisturizing, beautiful satin finish and super pigmented.

It's easy to apply and doesn't dry my lips. The texture of this lipstick is a soft, velvety matte, smell is, well like wax. It does not transfer when eating.



Overall: 


Best colour: Deborah, Illamasqua, Rimmel
Easiest to apply: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua
Most moisturizing: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua
Best smell: Rimmel, Illamasqua, Deborah
Lasting: Illamasqua, Deborah, Rimmel
Most matte: Illamasqua, Deborah, Rimmel
Most transfer when eating/drinking: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua
Smoothest, most velvety: Rimmel, Deborah, Illamasqua
 All three are super pigmented, rich and opaque.

- Review -

Size Enlargement: ★★★★★
My eyes are noticeably bigger and I for sure like the doll effect these lenses creates.

Comfort: ★★★★★
These are just THE MOST comfortable lenses, and I can easily wear them up to 12 hours.
(I suppose it's from high water content, I don't feel them at all, and they are very soft and
very easy to put in the eyes.) I had no discomfort wearing them for the first time, but if you feel slight discomfort wearing circle lenses; you can always treat it at home.

Color and design: ★★★★★
I adore this design! <3 Blue is deep, like I said eyes are bigger and doll-like, and it covers
my natural color perfectly. The color is even more intensive in flash.

Overall: ★★★★★
I really love these lenses. I like effects that I achieve wearing them, how they are noticable, but not over the top. They can be considered natural or make your eyes pop, it all depends on the makeup.

- Benefits -

With Beuberry CH Blue you got complete make over, your eyes will be different and nicer in less then a second! Color is beautiful, so if you want lots of compliments regard it - try them out. :)
I have increased confidence wearing them, and I feel beautiful. Circle lens make your eyes appear larger, with amazing effects so for me these contacts are one must have fashion accessory.
