The Most Awaited Giveaway

Oriflame Beauty Eyeliner Stylo

This post is only for a swatch of the Oriflame Beauty Eyeliner Stylo in Green color. Jomol has done a review of the Stylo on Indian Makeup & Beauty blog. You can click here to read her review. She has swatched for black & brown as those were the colors she had picked. So I decided to add the green swatch here.

Oriflame Beauty Eyeliner Stylo - Green

Oriflame Beauty Eyeliner Stylo - Achieve extreme color precision with the advanced ink liners. Its fine applicator delivers exact colour which dries in seconds, Plus its refreshing formulation doesn't smudge or fade.

Cost : Rs. 359 for 16ml. Offer price Rs. 359 with Buy 1 - Get 1 FREE in January 2011.

I personally love this one as its a nice bottle green color which stays on for long without smudging or smearing. I have used the Lakme Eye Artist and I hated it. If I compare Oriflame Beauty Eye Liner Stylo & Lakme Eye Artist, I would pick the Oriflame Stylo with my closed eyes. 

Have you tried the Oriflame Eyeliner Stylo before???

Swedish Spa Night Renewal Hand Cream
I have used a lot of hand creams from Oriflame over the years and have had some good and some not so good experiences with them. I got the Swedish Spa Night Renewal Hand cream on the first day of its launch and have been using it everyday since then. The cream in not too greasy neither to light. Its is the just right consistency that one needs. Its a rich cream however gets absorbed in the skin quickly leaving the hands soft, & non-greasy. The tube is perfect to keep in your handbag.

Swedish Spa Beauty Wonder Oil
This is my most favorite product in the Fire collection. I have stopped using body butters & creams to moisturise my skin. I love the smell and feel of the wonder oil on my skin. It gets absorbed in the skin so quickly that you will not even feel greasy and messy for one second. This oil keeps my skin moisturised for a good 9-10 hours and feels so soft. I was a little apprehensive of picking this products however after using it for a week I ordered my second bottle as I did not wanted to be take any chances of it going out of stock when I would require it later.

Swedish Spa Exfoliating Body Scrub

I have been using Oriflame's face scrubs however this is the first time I bought a body scrub from them. I have been using the Essential Oil Body scrub however am liking the feel and smell of this one and the exfoliation on my skin is good too. Its a little thick scrub compared to the the essential oil scrub. 

Swedish Spa Exfoliating Body Scrub

My overall experience with the Swedish Spa  Fire collection has been good and I would be using it until I find something better. I would be reviewing the Swedish Spa Water Collection soon...

Have you used any of the Swedish Spa Collection??
