Biotique Chlorophyll Gel Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,
First of all Sorry for being MIA..I was out of town and it was a sudden trip as the tickets were not confirmed before..and later they got confirmed..so I had to pack and rush within an hour !! Had amazing fun at the trip with my friends… :))

Coming back to the topic…I have been using Biotique Chlorophyll Gel from last year.

What the Company claims:

Product Description
Chlorphyll is the “green” in all plants, meant to absorb and harness the energy of the sun involved in photosynthesis and highly valued for its antiseptic properties.

This refreshing, anti-bacterial moisturizer is blended with chlorophyll and extracts of seaweed, sea algae, aloe vera and gum arabic to tighten pores, avert blemishes, and keep skin nourished and clear without flaking.

Ingredients:
Chinai ghas (Gelidium amansii) 1.5%
Kuda (Holorrhena antidysenterica) 2.0%
Ghrit kumari (Aloevera indica) 2.0%
Kikkar gaund (Acacia Arabica) 2.0%
Samundir kai (Gelidium amansii) 10.0%
Himalayan Water Q.S.


Apply evenly over cleansed face and neck, morning and evening, to refresh skin. Also recommended for post hair removal, to soothe and condition the skin against redness and irritation.

MRP: Rs. 199/- for 65g

Its a transparent green gel..looks very similar to Aloe Vera Gel..but has added properties of Chlorophyll, Acacia and other ingredients..has a light refreshing smell.

Though it can be used as a moisturiser and it is stated so in the directions…if your skin needs added moisture..this would not be enough..I usually use it post waxing..and it soothes my skin as I do get small red bumps post waxing.

Pros:

1. Very light texture and gets easily absorbed.
2. Amazing to soothe skin post waxing.
3. Has a nice refreshing smell.
4. Is not greasy like other creams and so would be perfect for people with oily skin.
5. Has all natural ingredients.
6. Economical as you need a little quantity.
7. Perfect moisturiser for summers..esp for ppl with oily skin.

Cons:

1. Comes in a tub..so you need to dip hands.
2. Dry skinned ppl cannot use only this as its not moisturising enough.
3. Keep it away from your mouth..even a slight touch and you get that bitter taste :/

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I love using it post waxing and even as a moisturiser in summers.

I recommend this strongly to people who get bumps like me post waxing..use this immediately and skin would feel much better.

Street Wear Nail Paint Review,NOTD

Uncategorized, , , , ,
I applied a red nail paint for the first time and I actually liked it…instantly perks up the hands and makes them looks pretty…Bridal Red is a very pretty true red shade..

MRP: Rs.45-50/-

The only problem was the brush..it was split into two..see..

That gave a very streaky application and it was very messy to use..

Pros:

1. Pretty shade and opaque enough.
2. Economical
3. Many shades to choose from
4. 2 coats were more than enough.
5. Stayed on for around 4 days and started chipping later.

Cons:

1. The brush was very bad and streaky.

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: Yes after checking the brush properly.

If you buy Street Wear nail paints, do check the brush properly.

Sweets Cosmetics Sweet Lips Lip Balm Review

Uncategorized, , , ,
What the Company claims: All natural and totally delicious! We like our lip balm smooth and soft, but not too glossy…We created this recipe five years ago and after experimenting with all kinds of different flavors, we finally decided on orange-mint (because it’s amazing). Other ingredients in this tube include cocoa butter, beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and vitamin e! For best results, put it on your lips.

MRP: 4.99$

The packaging looks exactly like a candy na..loved it..Its a normal lip balm but its not tinted..I love the orange mint essential oil combo used in it..coz I have not seen this combo yet…and believe me..the minty touch and the orange flavor is super nice..My upper lip remains dry these days…and I no lip balm was working for it..I used this once at night and my lips were perfectly fine the next day…I am loving this..

Pros:

1. It does help heal chapped lips in a day !
2. Love the orange mint flavor.
3. Comes in a tube packaging.
4  Easy to carry around
5. Nice packaging.

Cons:

1. Its not tinted..so those who prefer tinted lip balms would not like.
2. A little expensive for a lip balm.
3. Only available online.

Overall I loved this lip balm and the flavor and would like more flavors in it.

It has been recently featured on Mid Day. Check it out here

I liked the fact that this site keeps all brands which use all natural and herbal ingredients and not the chemical stuff.

It has five Indian brands..Tvam: Naturally yours,Nourish Body and Bath,Last Forest Enterprises,Ruby’s Herbal and Divine.

It has some very nice and interesting products… I am reviewing few samples here

Nourish: Madras Coffee Madness Body Scrub

This amazing sugar and coffee-based body scrub completely smooths out rough spots like knees, heels and elbows. Worried you might smell like coffee? Don’t! The coffee scent serves as a wonderful wake-up call to your senses as you open the jar. The essential oils in the scrub leave your skin so unbelievably soft; you can skip the lotion. (Size- 250g)

MRP: Rs. 345/-

I loved the coffee SMELL in it…!! Its awesome..its a mix of coffee and sugar with some essential oils…but do not use it on your face as its a little coarse..its perfect for your feet,elbows,knees or areas where you got dry skin. It does not make your skin dry too as it has blend of oils in it..actually you can even make a similar version of it at home 🙂

Nourish: Lavender Vanilla Lotion

The clean, classic fragrance of lavender and the uplifting notes of vanilla. Mmmm. Transcendental! A lotion that reminds you of meadows and mists and mellow evenings. Lavender is believed to promote cell regeneration and reduce stress. A must-buy! (Size- 220g)

MRP: Rs 345/-

This again has an awesome lavender vanilla smell ! The smell lingers on for 2-3 hours…yes I do keep smelling it :p coz I am in love with the lavender smell these days..with my l’occitane lavender hand cream too 🙂
Its totally non greasy and gets absorbed easily..

Nourish: Rose Addiction Cocoa Body Butter

Buttering up your skin with Nourish Rose Addiction Cocoa Body Butter will pay off big-time! That is a promise. Especially recommended for moms-to-be to keep those ugly stretch marks at bay, and for dry itchy skin. For best results, apply to moist skin. (Size- 110g)

MRP: Rs.295/-

This is a nice body butter..not too thick nor too runny..spreads easily and gets absorbed too…It has that typical rose syrup smell..which does seem a little artificial..but its kinda ok.

tvam: Almond & Honey Face Scrub & Body Polisher

Almond & Honey Face Scrub & Body Polisher gently exfoliates and cleans your skin with soft almonds, natural Honey, aloe vera and rose water. Scrub away the dead layers to reveal sumptuous, revitalized skin! (Size- 50g)

MRP: Rs.285/-

Its gel like in consistency with very minute brown granules..has a sweet kinda smell..decent enough for everyday exfoliation too as its not at all harsh. Leaves skin supple and soft.

So overall the products on this site are quite nice and worth a try..do check out.
I would review a lip balm and a soap too..

They accept both credit cards and debit cards. Do check it out here
