Oriflame Hyacinth scented hand & nail cream

Hi Beauties!

Like I always insist upon hand care here I am with another hand care item by Oriflame. For the last three months the Oriflame promotional flyer had been carrying around this product on a considerable discount. Though I already had their hand and nail cream which I have been using religiously and it has ended too, I thought of purchasing this hyacinth scented hand and nail cream for a try as it was pretty reasonable on discount.

Oriflame hyacinth scented hand and nail cream comes in a 50 ml soft squeeze tube. Its small in size and can easily be placed in handbag for any time use.

Yes I know my tube has turned yellow *blush*. Its because of two reasons, firstly this was already the last piece available and secondly this has been brutually treated by other things lying in my handbag :p hence the yellowness, a visible proof of mistreatment :p

The cream has a moderate density which means it requires a small amount on hands. It is not runny or thick but is between the two.

My Experience:

Coming to my experience of this cream I would like to mention that before this I have been using Oriflame's Nourishing hand cream for dry hands regularly for quite a few months. You can check out my review on it here. I have experienced the nourishing hand cream changing its smell into not a good one plus it did not last long. So I was not fond of it anymore. On the other hand Hyacinth cream is a better moisturizer as compared to nourishing hand cream and also lasts longer and smells ten times better. It instantly softens the hands and makes them smell real good. On an average a person touches his/her face 3000 times per day. Can you imagine taking your hand to your face and it smelling like shit? No? Then hyacinth is the right cream if you are into soft, smooth and nice smelling hands. Although this cream is cheaper than the nourishing hand cream yet I find it way better. This cream actually over runs my previous review of nourishing hand cream. I would rate hyacinth cream 3.7/5 and would recommend you girls to give it a try. I purchased this cream from Oriflame's Head office located in Garden Town Lahore for Rs. 158 and its totally worth the price. Hope you liked my review. Drop in your comments as I love to read them. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Oriflame Renewing Hand Scrub

Hi Beauties!

As much as our focus is on our faces I think double should be the focus on our hands. Since its the hands that do all the jobs be it a dirty job.... hands should be taken care of more often. With all the dust and pollution around hands require a regular care routine. Therefore, I gave Oriflame's renewing hand scrub a try.

Oriflame renewing hand scrub comes in a light coral soft sqeezy tube and the content is 75 ml. Its a small tube which makes it travel friendly and can be easily carried around in the purse.

This is how the scrub looks like. Its beige in color like some sort of foundation base and has small scrub granules.

My Experience:

I would label this scrub as an everyday use scrub. The granules are really fine and they are not at all harsh on the skin. One does not even feel that its a scrub. By saying that the granules are smooth and soft I an not intending that it does not work as a scrub, it really does its job well and scrubs off all the dirt and grime on the hands. I have used it thrice and I have seen instant results. My hands feel soft, neat and clean. Another best thing about this scrub is that it lathers. It is not like other scrubs which are just cream like. I am big on lather and usually prefer face washes and other skin care products which lather because lather reduces friction while massaging and does not cause any bruising or redness afterwards. The scrub is really easy to use. Take some amount of scrub and massage it well on your hands, focus around the nail area and finger joints. Massage for like 5 to 7 minutes and rinse hands with water. Bingo! hello to clean and smooth hands.

You can buy this hand scrub from Oriflame consultants on Facebook. I purchased mine from Oriflame office in Lahore Garden Town. I would recommend using this scrub twice or thrice a week. Its really gentle on the skin and would not harm it. I would rate this product 3.7/5 and would recommend you people giving it a try as well. Hope you liked my review. Drop in your comments and let me know I love to read your feedback. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Nail Tip Cutter by M & S Nail Art

Hi Beauties!

Square nails have been in vogue for quite sometime now. Some naturally have a square shape and do not require much hard work to shape their nails. On the other hand there are people like me who have round shaped nails and no matter how hard they try they fail to achieve a perfect square look. I have tried million times before and always ended up ruining my nails till this miraculous product arrived. 

Its a nail tip cutter which gives a square shape to the nails.

It looks just like pliers and works in the same way as well. It has a plastic body with a matte finish and is very smooth with good finishing. Its available in different colors like orange, pink, lilac, mustard and black. I liked the one in black. The head which does all the magic is in the picture below:

All you need to do is put your nail in the curvy hollow part right in the middle and squeeze the handles. Voila! there you have your perfect square shaped nail. Its so easy to use and is so convenient. I am so glad I made this purchase. The only thing which I observed one needs to be cautious about is the placement of the nail. It should not be right next to your skin, I am sure you do not intend to get a squared skin :p and secondly the nail should be placed in such a manner that its exactly in the middle of the curvy hollow so that you do not get a nail shape slanting more towards left or either right.  

So above is the result I got in my first attempt. I know it isn't perfect but isn't bad either. With a little practice I'll be a pro in no time. 

And here is the final look:

I am thoroughly satisfied with this product. It does the job and does what it claims. I ordered it online on M & S Nail Art's Facebook page. Here is the link to her page. Check out her page she has got fabulous stuff for nail art and a wide variety of nail accessories and that too at very reasonable and affordable prices. This nail tip cutter cost me Rs. 350. You can transfer the amount via a bank transfer or easy paisa. The day I made the transfer, it arrived the very next day within 24 hours. Currently there is a promotion going on her page, till New year there are no delivery charges. Avail this offer and enjoy your shopping with no extra delivery charges. 

Hope you liked my review. Share in your views with me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Flormar Hand & Body Cream in Aloe Vera

Hi Beauties!

Flormar has a wide range of personal care products. I have already reviewed their face cleansing gel, here is another post on their skin care product. This is Flormar's Hand and body cream in Aloe Vera. I got this one from RIOS hyperstar Lahore as well for Rs. 400.

Its a matte plastic tube bottle with 150 ml/5.07 fl.oz contents of the cream. Zap open the cap and press the tube to pour out as much quanity of the cream as required.

The cream claims to soften, moisturize and nourish the hands and body and is suitable for all skin types. The cream is enriched with Aloe vera, shea butter and glycerine. Aloe vera extreact soothes and nourishes the skin in natural way. Shea butter and glycerine offer rich care and protection for hand and body.

I use this cream as a hand care product only and have not tried it on the rest of my body. My experience with this cream has not been that great. The above picture is the amount I normally use to nourish my dry hands. It sure does nourish dry hands and makes them soft and smooth but I am not happy with its fragrance. It does not smell like shea butter or aloe vera at all. I have other shea butter body care products and they smell great but this cream, I am not sure what it smells like! I really think Flormar needs to work on the fragrances of their personal care products. The cream completely absorbs into the skin and has non greasy effect and stays for a good 2 to 3 hours on hands. Overall it is a good product and I would rate it 3/5 but I would not be buying it again just because its fragrance does not appeal me. Other than that I think a Rs. 400 hand & body cream with 150ml of cream only is a little expensive.

You can check out the complete range of Flormar products on their website by clicking on the link here. Hope you liked my review. If anyone has tried this product feel free to share your experience with me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Oriflame nourishing hand cream for dry hands

Hi Beauties!

So I had been requested quite alot of times to do reviews on Oriflame products I had purchased so finally Im going to do my first Oriflame review. My skin is really really dry sort and in winters it wants me to take butter and lotion baths so you can imagine how much I need to keep my skin hydrated. Winters are just around the corner and with the beginning of cool breezes my skin starts getting dry especially my hands. Whenever I wash my hands I need to apply a lotion or a cream but I don't like oily creams like astral. I had been reading alot about Oriflame products on different blogs plus there was so many publicity being done about oriflame so I thought about giving the hand cream a try.

There is a complete range of hand care products by Oriflame. For starters I got myself the nourishing hand cream for dry hands. Its a matte plastic tube with 100ml contents of the cream.

This is the back view of the tube. Click on the picture to enlarge and view the ingredients.

This is how the product comes out. Squueze the tube a little and use small amount of the cream.

I have taken out this much to clearly make you girls visible what the cream is like but trust me one requires smaller amount of the cream.The cream is thick in consistency unlike a lotion. You might need to aqueeze the tube with some pressure to make the cream come out but thats not much a trouble. Plus you can keep it in your hand bags as its quite portable and no fear of leakage in the bag.

I have been using this cream for a month or so on regular basis. I have put this cream in my office drawer and apply pea sized amount whenever I wash my hands or feel that my hands are dry. The best thing I like about this cream is that it instanty absorbs into the skin after application and nourishes the hands. Hands feel really smooth, supple and hydrated after its application. It leaves no oily residue over the skin and there is no trace left of cream application on your hands. It smells really nice (I like smelling my hands after applying this cream) :p Well there is no doubt about the nourishing properties of this cream over dry hands but what I feel is it doesn't stay that long on the hands. I need to apply it again after I wash my handsor after a few hours when my hands feel dry again. It maybe due to the fact that my skin is really dry and I do not mind applying it again. The cream I think would be equally suitable for people having oily skin as it absorbs completely into the skin.

All in all I am really happy with this product and yes I would definitely be buying it over and over since I am finding this product to be the best hand cream so far. I got mine from Oriflame office in Liberty Main Boulevard, Lahore for Rs. 238. I'd say for the quality and benefits this cream is providing me it is reasonably priced. I would rate this product a 5/5 because quite frankly I can't seem to find anything wrong with it. I hope my review was helpful for you girls. Share your views with me if anyone of you has tried this product. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!
