My Opinion: - This cream is hends down my favorite face cream from Oriflame but only during winters and cool pleasant weather. I cannot use it during the summers and I have stopped using this cream as soon as the weather warmed up. This balancing face cream comes in my "All time faves from Oriflame" list. The packaging is a basic light mint green & white plastic tube with soft green Calendulas inscribed on it with a plastic bright green screw on cap. Very hygienic and travel friendly packaging. 

                The texture of this face cream is very light weight and is in between a light cream and a light lotion. This white cream has a very mild fragrance of Calendula but its quite artificial. I wash and tone my face and then apply a small blob of this cream on my face in dots and spread it with light strokes.It spreads easily and gets absorbed into my skin within 3-4 mins. It instantly gives a healthy glow to my skin, but as time passes on it makes my face shiny. In an air-conditioned environment, my skin is greasy after about 6 1/2- 7 hrs and in a non air-conditioned environment, my skin is greasy after 4- 4 1/2 hrs.

                  This face cream does not contain sun protection, of course this cream is not a day cream. I rarely apply this face cream alone, I usually top it with a foundation. All types of foundations blend over it very well, therefore I can say it is a good base. Also a very small blob is required for each use and hence a little goes a long way. I have on many occasions used this cream as a night cream with great results. The only problem with this cream is that I can use it only during cool weather. Hence I have stopped using it as of now.

                  This face cream suits my skin very well. Its working so well for my skin since many years now. This cream has never broken me out and it has not irritated my skin ever. It is so very mild on my break outs. It soothes my skin and gives enough moisturising. I love this cream inspite of its ability to control oiliness and shine. I apply it even during the hot days if my skin feels a little dry/stretched after some scrubbing etc, but that's a rarity. I can always rely on it to make my skin soft and smooth after every use.

Pros: -



* Gives a soft healthy glow, no matte look here

* Contains Vitamin E & Calendula, both are great for skin

* Works well as a makeup base

* Spreads easily on my skin

* Gets absorbed fast, does not sit on top of my skin

* 75 ml goes a long way since a little is required for each use, hence Rs 349 is affordable

* Fragrance is very mild and goes away after application

* Makes my skin softer and smoother

* Does not break me out and never irritates

* Very mild, light-weight and soothing cream

* My Favorite Face Cream for the cool pleasant weathers

* Great as a night cream

Cons: -


* Being a balancing cream it does not give much of oil control. I avoid using it in the summers, makes my skin greasy and shiny very soon.


* Available only through Oriflame consultants


* Contains Parabens




                    I rate Oriflame Essentials Balancing Cream 4.5 out of 5. Ok I know I am being partial with the rating here, but I truly love this product. Its basically for combination and normal skin types and oilies like me can use it only during cool weather and not in the summer. Out and out a great cream.

My Opinion:-
My skin is oily but turns combination in winters. So I decided to use Pond's Age Miracle Resurfacing Day Cream as I heard rave reviews about it. All fellow bloggers said its good for combination/oily skin, hence the purchase. So here are my views on this amazing cream. Now I have been using it for more than 45 days so thought of reviewing this cream

The packaging is very cute but impractical. The tub is made of sturdy glass in the shape of a tear drop. It has a screw on red lid which makes the jar/tub attractive. A white plastic protective lid can be found when main screw on lid is taken off. This cream comes boxed in a red & silver carton. The packaging is good for travelling but its quite heavy as its made of thick glass. The fragrance seems fruity but at times it seems floral as well :P

The texture is thick creamy but light instead of rich. Its a very pale pink cream with extremely fine shimmer in it which makes the skin glow. This cream gets absorbed easily and fast. Just a few tiny dots on my face and neck is enough for complete coverage. It gives a powdery matte finish to my skin. I use it after cleansing each morning and I am good to go as it also contains SPF.

I have at times topped it with foundation and it has always made my foundation stay longer. This cream shocked me when it made my skin matte and kept greasiness at bay for a good 3 hours. After that it was non-matte but still not greasy. Upon application this cream instantly whitens my skin, fades off spot thereby making my skin even and radiant. I am 24 and I don't have wrinkles so I can't comment on the effectiveness of it against fine lines/wrinkles/age-spots.

I am using it as a moisturiser and not as an anti-ageing cream. This cream will unfortunately not suit dry skin as it has this mattifying effect on the skin. Though I didn't use it in the peak of summers, I don't know how it will fare with my oily skin at that time. But I have found a great moisturiser for the rest of the year. The only problem with this cream is that the packaging is cute but impractical because cream is stuck to the inner corner/rim of the jar and only a q-tip can remove it.

Pros:-
* Doesn't make my skin greasy
* Well priced, affordable
* Makes the skin instantly fair and gives a nice glow
* Works great as a primer, holds foundations & blush for a long time
* Suitable for combination & oily skin

Cons:-
* Not suitable for dry skin as the company says ''Suits all skin types''
* Product gets stuck at the inner rim of jar which is difficult to remove
* Though the packaging is cute yet I would prefer a tube instead as I hate to dig my nails into the jar every morning (I have long Nails)

I rate this Pond's Age Miracle Daily Resurfacing Cream 4.5 out of 5. Works well as a moisturiser and also as a primer and to top it all, its my first anti-ageing cream after the Pond's TM. I am happy with the results and I have already bought another jar as I have hit bottom of this jar as you can see. Thanks and have a great day :)

                      Good Morning everyone, today I have 3 Oriflame skin care products which are my favorite since many years. I have been using these 3 skin care products namely, Essentials Balancing Face Cream with Vitamin E &' Calendula for Oily & Combination Skin, Pure Nature Organic Aloe Vera & Arnica Extracts Soothing Face Wash and Pure Nature Organic Aloe Vera & Arnica Extracts Soothing Toner, on and off ever since I first tried them. Packagings have changed but formulations of these products have remained the same. Hats off to Oriflame for mainting the quality or should I say for improving the face wash, toner & face cream. The face wash & toner are my Holy Grails but still I manage to try out face washes & toners from different brands. But one thing I know for sure, I will never ditch these two skin care products in the near future as I always keep coming back to them. The face cream has been my favorite as well but it doesn't contain Sun Protection, its only disadvantage but still I love it so much :D




Essentials Balancing Face Cream with Vitamin E &' Calendula for Oily & Combination Skin Rs 349

Pure Nature Organic Aloe Vera & Arnica Extracts Soothing Face Wash Rs 259

Pure Nature Organic Aloe Vera & Arnica Extracts Soothing Toner Rs 259

That's all for now, I shall come up with the reviews very soon. Have a nice day :)
