I'd ordered a couple of stuffs from Oriflame a while back, and chose for "Home delivery" option with "Cash on Delivery" payment mode. However, since I stay at my office from morning 8:30 to evening 5:30, I've given my office address for delivery purpose. Twice it has happened that my Oriflame package went back, just coz the courier came after 5:30 by which I’d already left for home and none of the courier guys were willing to come to my home to give the package.
This had been really frustrating for me, as there is no way I can tell while ordering as within what time should the package be delivered. There is no free delivery on Oriflame orders unless your order is for Rs.1500/- or more. And, when you are paying around 100 bucks extra just for delivery, you expect certain level of commitment.
So, my last parcel went back for similar reasons. I ordered some less products again this time, for Rs.513/- this time (including delivery). I received my order on time fortunately, but there was neither any Oriflame catalogue nor any flyers included for the next month. The catalogue's entry was there in my online invoice but no catalogue at all. I don't know if they are expecting me to pay some amount of money for the catalogue again or is there any fixed limit of order that would qualify for you to get free next month's catalogue. If you are an Oriflame consultant please guide me regarding this in comments.
However, after all that irritation and frustration, I opened my parcel and was glad to see the stuffs I'd ordered. Below are the things.

| From left to right: Pure Skin Face Wash, Eye Lash Curler, Oriflame Beauty Eye Shadow Blending Brush |
I tried using the lash curler for the first time today, and I am pretty happy with the way results have come out. My lashes are looking more curled, somewhat longer and have brought quite a difference from regular mascarad(??!!) eyes!
The brush and the sponge applicator are really good. I’ve tried doing some looks with them and so far I am quite happy with the results!! The face wash is from Oriflame's new Pure range. I have just started using it, so can't comment much. Just that it doesn't lather much.
Anyways, I'll review it soon after using it for 2-3 weeks from now. I am just glad that it is Friday so wishing you a very happy weekend ahead!! :)
You should have kept th brush out of it's packet naa - it looks nice though from what I can see :D
ReplyDeletenice haul, and i was not aware of getting products online...thats nice...do let me know if its simple
ReplyDelete@Rads
ReplyDeleteHe he..I just came home and took the pic..Its really good Rads,....I can even use that sponge applicator well for smudging on the lashlines and for painting the area around tear ducts!! :P :P
@Rentu
ReplyDeleteHi Rentu, I am oriflame consultant and hence I can order online under by consultant Id!! :)
heyyyy cali! similar experience with courier service.....while i am typing i am waiting for my order that went back twice and thus got cancelled!
ReplyDeletei have ordered the toner...not facewash!!!
the review will take time till then just tell me if it dries your skin or not!!!
i have normal-to combination skin!!!
just wanna know the instant effects so can order before the offer gets over!!!!
@Flamante
ReplyDeleteHi Flamante! I have used the face wash just once yesterday. I kinda felt it quite nice and mild. I too have oily-combination skin and it certainly didn't dry my skin. I was comfortable after washing my face with it. Just that it doesn't lather much. So if you are amongst those who want lots of lather to feel that squeaky cleany feel, then this may not be for you. Else, you can give it a go! :)
oh n if ur order has went back....then you should wait for your BP to become 0 and then place your order...only then you get catalogue!!!
ReplyDeleteyou can check your BP in "MY PAGES"!!!!
if you place order before your BP becomes 0...you wont get free catalogue n flyer etc!!!
n for your order (thats not been received by you)..it takes 2-3 days for it to gget cancelled n your bp to get to 0!!!
get it?? ;)
hmm thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Cali....even I got the curler today....but I hurt my eye and it started watering.....err.............first injury
ReplyDelete@jomol
ReplyDeleteohhhhhh..how did you hurt your eyes Jomol?? I was sooper careful and cautious when I tried it first time on my lashes..So much careful I was that the curler didn't pick up my lashes at all!! :| :| And I was wondering what happened..then I tried on the other eye, slowly and carefully taking just the outer part of my lashes and holding them for a while; I could see some results...Today I could use it properly. How is your eye now?? Where did you hurt yourself?
i cud get thru,,,finallly,,,,, :) trying to see ur stuff since morning but ab no. ayya hai :P
