Oriflame Skin Perfect Foundation review

 

 

As you can see, I had it in Natural Beige and the colour in real life is very close to the one on the picture.

I’ll just try to keep it short and sweet.

 

 

The positive stuff

• Quite long-lasting
• Good packaging. Not exactly luxurious, but comfortable to use, doesn’t waste product as you have total control over how much product you dispense.
• Cheap
• Easy to blend and doesn’t look like a mask.
• Medium coverage

 

The negative stuff

• Anti-fatigue complex promoted on the package means that it has tiny glitter particles in it. So if looking like a glitter ball isn’t your aim, ditch it.

 

Overall rating

Finish 1/5

Consistency 4,2/5

Longevity 4/5

Packaging 4,4/5

Final rating 3,4 out of 5.

 

That’s all, folks.

With love,

Janne

FOTD 11/07/11 and the best cookies ever

Well hello, lovelies!

Here is my face of the day.

Products used:

Face

• Oriflame beauty Skin Perfect foundation in Natural Beige
• Grimas Fixing Powder
• BeYu blusher 115
• Bourjois Delice de Soleil in nr 14 Olive/ Tanned skin

Eyes

• GOSH waterproof eye shadow base
• Rimmel London Glam’ Eyes quad eye shadow in 002 Smokey Brun (move over Loreal Paris Quad Pro in 303 Beige Taupe! The Rimmel quad is really worth buying!)
• Pierre René Precision Ink Eyeliner in Black
• L’oreal Volume Million Lashes Waterproof in Black
• Manhattan Eyebrow pencil in 99W

Lips

• L’oreal Paris Glam Shine 6h Volumizer in 003 Pure Addict

And that’s it for the FOTD. Now for the cookies. Someone tried them and you should have seen his face when he tasted them. Hah, to die for. He was super impressed that something could taste this good.

           Alfajores de Dulce de Leche

Here’s what you need to make a bit over 20 sandwich cookies.

• 250ml corn starch
• 200ml flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 100g butter (room temperature)
• 150ml sugar
• 3 egg yolks (if you have large eggs, use 2)
• 400g can of condensed milk
• icing sugar

1. Put the can of condensed milk (the kind with real sugar and milk) into a cooking pot, covered with water. Boil for 2,5-3 hours to make it more solid. Be aware that the water will evaporate so be sure to add water from time to time. Let the can cool.
2. Sift together corn starch, flour and baking powder.
3. Cream the butter and sugar. Add egg yolks one at a time.
4. Add sifted powder ingredients into the butter mixture with an electric mixer.
5. Preheat oven 180* Celsius.
6. Roll dough 6mm thick, use a cookie cutter or a cup to make even circles, mind you this dough is quite difficult to operate with, well at least for me. And stick them into the oven. Bake for 10-15 min, until bottoms are golden, yet the top is pale.
7. Put a teaspoon of condensed milk between the cookies, sift some icing sugar on top and you have a gorgeous super-delicious treat. Don’t make them ahead, as the cookies will get too soft.

Stay cool,

Janne.

Ach, filming this vid was a bit of a fail. So for those, who have not seen it on YouTube, I just have to say that the camera died in the middle of the look and I had to recharge it.

Sunday beauty routine

I’ve seen a lot of posts with this caption lately, so I thought I’d make one as well.

And here’s what I use on my face.

The first thing I do after taking a shower is tone my face using The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner. I thought that I would get used to the smell of tea tree, but i haven’t and it kind of still slightly irritates my skin. It doesn’t irritate that much, just makes it hurt a bit for a little while, so I  will use it up, but wouldn’t purchase this again. I guess it could work for some people, but my skin is just too sensitive.

After that I scrub my face with Christian Breton Créme Exfoliante Super Radiance Exfoliating Cream. Only my perfume is more expensive than this and it cost around 22 Euro for 50ml. It has super tiny exfoliating particles, leaves my face super soft and hydrated and it smells really good. It has this creamy smell which lingers on your face for hours. I don’t want to put anything else on my face after using it because I’m scared that the softness and the smell disappear. This product definitely gets a huge thumbs up from me.

To make the routine more effective, I use Freeman Facial Clay Mask with avocado and oatmeal. I have only used it twice, but I think it’s very good, my skin instantly seemed to be clearer and smoother. And don’t get me started about the smell. IT IS AMAZING!!!!! It smells really sweet, can’t really describe it because it doesn’t smell like a specific fruit or flower, but it really sweet and great. And it cost around 5 Eur for 150ml, so you get a LOT of product.

And after I’m done with my masks, I moisturize my skin. I use The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream. I only use the day cream because I couldn’t afford both, but it works well. This is quite a popular product all over the world and I can understand why. It has a nice smell, moisturizes well but it sinks into your skin really fast so that’s really great. Leaves skin radiant. I also use this on my neck and chest.

For the eyes, I use Oriflame Soothing Eye Contour Gel with Chamomille. It moisturizes the eye area well, also sinks in very fast and that’s pretty much all I have to say about it.

And that’s it, I’m off to bake a cake for a very special lady who is going to reach legal dirinking age tomorrow!!! Maybe you’ll see some pics about the cake next week.

Meow!
