Beauty Review: Oriflame ABSOLUTE Concealer for Eyes

Wrote by 2 Comments

Second review for today! :D

I have so many to be reviewed so I'm working my ass off to catch up with all of these things LOL.

ORIFLAME ABSOLUTE CONCEALER for Eyes



Seen this thing a lot? Of course, the multi-level marketing that has been well-known everywhere for "Swedish natural makeup" brand. Sell door to door, pre-order system. Everyone knows Oriflame.

I have huge eyebags and dark circles, and I need something to cover it up. Mom brought the Oriflame catalogue and I decided to give this concealer a try. They said they cover dark circles perfectly. It's quite cheap since it was on a sale when I decided to buy, only about IDR30,000 or US$3.

This is what they said on their website:
"Ideal for the delicate eye area! Dual action concealer containing eyeliss to help reduce the appearance of puffiness and eye bright, to help soften shadows under the eye. With 68% water for a refreshing effect. 10 ml. "

This concealer comes in two shades of pink and gold. I bought the pink one since the gold one seemed too bright for my half-tanned skin. And I love pink. LoL. The pink shade looks more like peach-colored. Texture is pretty creamy but not heavy for daily concealer.

 

Well, it blends easily, not giving any cakey look on your eyes. But since the texture is creamy, it might leaves your eyes oilier than usual. After I tried blending the concealer, let's see the result:
 

ASDFSAKJSHADHFHGASDHASLDSAJKL IT CONCEALS LIKE BIKINI. ALMOST NOTHING. Never been this disappointed since forever. I bought something useless. Did not conceals ANYTHING, can't be used even for eyeshadow base (it makes your lids oilier and makes eyeshadow or eyeliner smudges faster -_-). My dark circles are still there, like nothing bugged them. TROLL EYEBAGS. Y U NO LEAVE.

Then out of curiosity I googled this thing, then found some reviews. Most of them would say same thing as me: conceals nothing. But one of them found out another use of this concealer: highlighter. Oh yes since this cream leaves a lighter colour on average skin tones, it could be used as highlighter also. So I started used this thing as highlighter for my nose, chin, cheek, and forehead.

I saw this on the website, a review by the consultant:
"If u use the both shades then it's just gives you flawless skin . Just put up first PINK shade to conceal and then GOLD shade above it , it's perfectly hide imperfections ..........."

Oh well I don't know I have to buy BOTH shades to hide my imperfections. Any normal people would only buy ONE at a time.

Pros:
★ Easy to blend
★ Lighter color for my skin tone
★ Cheap
★ Easy to find 


Cons: 
★ Conceals almost NOTHING
★ Makes my oily lids oilier


Purchase again?
NO. I prefer spend some more money for REAL concealer that DO CONCEALS. I will only finish this tube for highlighter then no more =_=

Rate:

Lasting Power ★★☆☆☆
Coverage ★☆☆☆☆
Colour ★★★☆☆

    Dear Customer,

    Thank you for using Oriflame products!

    This product is intended to provide sheer coverage for the under eye area, and to help with eye bags and puffiness in general. Gold and yellow toned concealers can counteract dark and purple shades of dark circles. Pink toned concealers help to counteract greenish colour dark circles.

    With regards to priming properties – this product doesn’t claim to have any improvement on eye shadow /eye liner wear, so should not be assessed on this criteria.

    The product has also been formulated with two key ingredients which are known to help reduce eye bags and improve the appearance of the eye area with continued use. The first, Eyeliss, works in three different ways. Firstly it helps improve drainage by stimulating circulation. Secondly it helps strengthen capillaries and last of all it helps to promote skin firmness and elasticity. The second ingredient, Eyebright, is a plant extract with calming and tonifying properties, known to soothe the eye area.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Oriflame Team

    Dear Oriflame,

    thank you for your feedback! ^^ I know this product never said to improve eyeliner or shadow colors wear, but this do enhance the color of my shadow, but not for long. since my lids becomes so oily, the color fades quickly.

    and I'm sure after several times using the concealer, the pink itself didn't conceal anything, unlike its name :( first item from Oriflame I feel disappointed buying. The others are fine.

    thank you for your correction anyway. really happy to see this :D
