Review: Orofluido Argan Treatment Beauty Elixir

Earlier this year I got a Bella Box parcel as a prize from Primped.
One of the products in the box was a 5mL sample of the Orofluido Argan Treatment Beauty Elixir which I have almost finished and I wanted to write a review for it but this product isn't listed on either of the review sites that I am a member of. So therefore I am going to write the review here.

This beautiful smelling amber coloured liquid comes in a glass bottle with a screw top lid.

How to use: warm some of the oil up a little in the palms of your hands before applying to damp towel dried or dry hair.

According to their website this product provides different results depending on wether you are applying this to damp to dry hair which are:
If applied to damp hair:

• Reduces drying time
• Leaves hair light, silky and easy to comb
• Gives hair body and movement
• Enhances the natural shine of the hair

If applied to dry hair

• Gives hair instant shine 
• Controls frizzing and makes combing easier
• Leaves hair soft, disciplined and flexible 

My summary of this hair oil:
Likes:

• The soft vanilla fragrance
• Oil is rapidly absorbed by my hair
• Left my hair feeling soft light and hydrated ie silky smooth and hydrated
• Doesn't weigh hair down as expected to

Dislikes:

• There is no fault with this product as it did all that it claimed for me!
• I do not like the price tag, I don't think it does enough to justify the price especially for my budget.

Review: Bourjois Clubbing Liner

When I went to the Heat Group sale one of the many bargains that I picked up was the Bourjois Clubbing Liner in the colour Brown vibes. The RRP for this beauty is $21 but I picked it up for a sweet $3 and I have fallen in love...

Bourjois Clubbing Liner in Brown vibes

As you can see from the image above this liquid eyeliner comes with a inbuilt brush for appliation and it comes in 6 different shades which are: Absolute black, Black fever, Electro Blue, Violet Laser, Brown vibes and Bronze dance floor.

To see how the eyeliner looks I have pasted below an an image of my eye with no makeup on at all:

My eye without any makeup

And below is an image of my eye with some eyeliner applied just to my upper lash line, the line may be a bit wonky but I am still new at applying liquid eyeliners.

With addition of Bourjois Clubbing Liner to my upper lash line

With addition of Bourjois Clubbing Liner to my
upper lash line and I used the Clubbing eyeliner
to coat my lower lashes in colour

I heard somewhere that some people actually uses an eyeliner as a 'mascara' for their lower lashes. As you can see from the above images my lashes have blonde tips, but I don't like putting mascara on my lower lashes as I find that it often looks too heavy for me.

Therefore I tried putting this clubbing mascara on my bottom lashes and as you can see in the image to the right my lower lashes look more defined but not heavy or too thick, it also didn't smudge flake or run all day which was a real plus. But I wouldn't do it everyday as I can only coat a couple of lashes at a time due to the small brush.




Below is also the winged eyeliner look I created with this eyeliner which is more wearable for me than when I did it with a black liner, since it doesn't look as harsh.

Top: eye partially closed, bottom: eye open. Winged eyeliner look using Bourjois clubber eyeliner and mascara.

Likes:

• Intense colour that lasts
• The shimmer is subtle and not in your face
• Can be used everyday (brown is much more flattering than black for my complexion)
• Stays put all day (does not run or smudge)
• Easy to create thin lines with the 'wet' formula and soft thin brush
• Easy to remove at the end of the day when cleansing my face.

Dislikes:

• I know it wasn't their fault but I only found only one brown bottle unopened at the sale!

Review: Maybelline Hyper Diamonds Eye Colour Palette

Maybelline Hyper Diamonds in Bronze Diamonds

Today I thought I might give a review of the Maybelline Hyper Diamonds Eye Colour Palette which I have in Bronze Diamonds.

This product promises to give you a glittery diamond like effect with the soft, silky and blendable formulation of this eyeshadow.

This eyeshadow range comes in 5 pretty looking palette's, the choices includes Charcoal Diamonds, Bronze Diamonds, Berry Diamonds, Sapphire Diamonds and Emerald Diamonds. So therefore there should be a colour combination for all styles!

As a huge fan of Maybelline products I was very happy when I got this product as a win from Beauty Heaven.




Here is the look I created with this pallet and following the instructions on the back:

Maybelline Hyper Diamonds in Bronze Diamonds

Likes:

• Pigmentation of the darker colours are intense.
• Smooth, silky application
• Applicator guide helps out beginners who has not used multiple eyeshadow shades before.
• Lasts all day if you use a primer (or else the colours slip around the eyelid and the look becomes blotchy)
• It comes with a sponge applicator which has a 'fat' and a 'tapered' end, I use the 'fatter' end for the lighter shades and the tapered end is perfect for the intense colours
• You can use this product for every day occasions though it may be considered too shimmery for some.

Dislikes:

• The shimmer glitter top coat as quite a bit of fall out which can be really annoying.
• Hard to access the applicator guide as it is behind a sticky panel on the back, therefore you need to memorise it then get to work.
• Though this is not a fault nor does it affect the quality of the product I was quite disappointed to see the word 'made in china' on the back. When I see Maybelline I expect to see 'made in USA' on the back, for two reasons:
• 1: because that is what I have always seen on the back ever since I can remember. The exceptions are the last three products I have aquired from their range which are (baby lips, master precise eyeliner and this hyper diamonds eyeshadow)
• 2: because it is sad to see that America and her people have been struggling financially and to see another American brand sourcing the manufacturing of their products overseas and denying their own people jobs

Review Maybelline NY Master Precise Liquid Liner

Hi all!
As mentioned not too long ago I got a lovely gift from BH that included a Maybelline NY Master Precise Liquid Liner which I am going to do a quick post about today.

Maybelline Master Precise Eyeliner

As someone who is quite inexperienced with liquid liner I found this product really easy to apply and I soon able to draw black line right next to my lash line which was neat, smooth and thin enough for my liking.

Without eyeliner

With eyeliner across top lash line

Here are a couple of other looks that I achieved with this liquid liner:

 

 Pros

• Easy to apply to the eyelid area (but not the outer edge of the eye area)
• Does not fade to blue
• Stays put all day and has vibrant colour
• Has a thin tip of 0.05mm
• Waterproof
• Smudge proof

Cons

• The tip of the pen is a felt tip and I did not find it easy to draw a design on the outer skin of my eye area as I found that the tip pulled at my skin which sometimes created a blotchy line
• It is only avaliable in black (not really a con but more colours would be useful for some)

EOTD Using MarbleEyes by Nutrimetics and Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner

Hi all!
So nice to be back.
Today I thought I would test some of the products that I have at home and show you the look that I have created.
To get the following look I have used:

• Nutrimetics MarbleEyes Eyeshadow in Lunar
• Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner
• A smokey looking eyeshadow
• Mascara

The process to achieve this look is as follows:

1. Experiment with the eyeliner, I ended up with a double wing flick at the outer edge of my eyelid.
2. Apply the the smokey eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eyelid. 
3. Apply the Nutrimetics MarbleEyes Eyeshadow in green the the outer part of the eyelid using your finger for the lid and a brush for the skin under the brow.
4. Repeat the above step in blue for the inner corner of the eye.
5. Apply mascara to the upper lashes and brush a brush a tiny amount onto the bottom lashes (mostly for colour since my eyelashes are blondish)
