Himalaya Herbals Fairness Kesar Face Pack Review

Hi guys,

So as I mentioned in my previous post that I wanted to try this pack, I went ahead and bought it from my local chemist. This is something new for me because I haven’t tried this face pack from Himalaya Herbals yet. I have used the Purifying Neem a lot and have also tried the Refreshing Fruit Pack before.

What the Company claims: Himalaya’s Fairness Kesar Face Pack is a unique natural formulation that evens out skin tone for a fairer you! Turmeric, Walnut, Indian Aloe and Kesar rejuvenate and cleanse your skin of impurities, to reveal a natural glow. Walnut and Indian Aloe heal the skin and remove blackheads. Turmeric and Kesar enhance your skin’s complexion and elasticity. CINNABLOC™, our patented, herbal sunscreen agent, protects your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Key ingredients:

Turmeric has strong anti-inflammatory properties, which soothe your skin gently. The herb helps to even out your skin tone and complexion. It also helps to retain the skin’s elasticity and makes it supple.

Walnut has slightly acidic properties. It is particularly effective in treating acne and in soothing sunburned skin and eczema. Walnut helps in skin cell regeneration and in toning the skin because of its astringent properties.

Indian Aloe acts as an antibacterial and an astringent, which accelerates the healing of injured skin. Indian Aloe also softens and hydrates skin.

Kesar lightens skin, clears spots, enhances the complexion and gives skin an even tone.

Directions: Apply Fairness Kesar Face Pack evenly over cleansed face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes and mouth. Let the pack dry for 10-15 minutes, and remove with a wet sponge or towel. Rinse with cool water. For best results, use twice a week.

MRP: Rs.70/- for 50g, Rs.130/- for 100g

It comes in the same white and green Himalaya Herbals flip cap tube packaging. It’s a thick, creamy mask and light yellow in colour. It has this soft powdery smell, but doesn’t smell of kesar or turmeric.

I wash my face and towel dry it lightly, keeping it a little damp for the mask to glide on well. Apply it all over the face avoiding eyes and lips and keep it on for 20 minutes before washing off, massaging it with circular motions with wet hands while taking it off.

I have used it 3-4 times till now, like twice a week, and I can say that this does not make your skin fairer, I think what they mean is detan. It definitely removes tan and lightens the acne scars a bit, to make the skin even. But it does require regular and continuous use to show results.

Kesar and turmeric are very good to even out skin while turmeric is also anti-bacterial. Indian Aloe soothes the skin.

Skin feels soft, supple and fresh post usage. I do need a moisturizer post washing the mask though.

I would recommend this face pack in summers, especially if you have tanned after your holidays, this does remove your tan with regular use. I would keep my use once a week now.

Kala Chashma Baar Baar Dekho Katrina Kaif Makeup Look | Makeup Tutorial

Hi guys,

I love the Kala Chashma song, it was a hit during my college days and I am absolutely loving this new mix too. Katrina Kaif looks stunning. Her killer abs and dance moves are the highlight of this song!

Here is the video of the song, if you still haven’t seen it..

I tried recreating this look, as one of my YouTube subscriber Neha requested for it. I am too lazy otherwise, but thanks for the push Neha 😀

Katrina has a soft plummy brown matte smokey eye going on with soft glossy pink lips. She doesn’t have any highlight or contour going on, not that she needs contouring either, her chiseled body and face are more than naturally contoured 😀

Plum Choco Latte Luxuriant Body Lotion Review

By Archana

Plum is a new emerging brand which many people might not be aware of. Its slowly getting popular. Today, am not just reviewing this body lotion, but also the brand as a whole. I have used a few of their other products and they have worked very well on my sensitive skin. Also their website is intuitive and the entire ordering process is easy and smooth. Also they have a rewards program, plus they give discounts at times. I got their Hello Aloe Moisturiser and the face wash came at Rs.99 instead of the regular price. Additionally, got some samples too. Its good when these companies send such samples, as after I used them, I found it works well for my skin and I might repurchase the full size. And this “Plum Choco Latte Luxuriant Body Lotion”, actually I won it in their instagram contest. So let’s move on to the review.

Product Claims:  Strictly inedible! Indulgent aroma and silky texture – this smoothie is only for your skin to drink. There is nothing better than a friend, unless it’s a friend with a chocolate.

Ingredients:

Price and quantity: Rs.380 for 200ml (Buy HERE)

Packaging:

The body lotion comes in a white, opaque, plastic bottle. The packaging could be slightly improved to bring in a more fun factor. It has a pump at the top for dispensing which makes it super convenient. The pump has a lock mechanism which shuts on twisting. I have carried it while travelling and there has been no spillage. Plum is transparent not just about its ingredients (What's in). But also lists the What’s out on the packaging. The entire description makes it fun rather than the boring descriptions we usually read in other brands.

Texture and fragrance:

It looks and smells exactly like a hot chocolate drink. No artificial scent like Vaseline, TBS, etc. The smell immediately reminds me of the warm chocolate drink I had at a Himalayan campsite in the cold weather. 😉

My experience:

No doubt it is rightly labelled as a luxuriant body lotion. Its one of the best I have ever used. Has perfect consistency, no stickiness and provides deep nourishment. I have extra dry skin and this has helped me greatly when other lotions haven’t. The staying power is pretty long. And I enjoy the delicious aroma every time on applying. I don’t know how they have bought the exact natural scent of chocolate into it when many other brands have just had artificial fragrances. But those who want to indulge in a Willy Wonka kinda experience, soak yourself in this delicious choco-latte and enjoy 😀

Plus, its free of parabens and all other harmful chemicals. Suitable for sensitive skin. My skin loves it totally and it feels healthy and nourished. You might feel the price is on the higher side. I do feel the price is higher for a body lotion as we use it very often and it gets over quickly in around two weeks. But in the current market, compared to the available body lotions, most of us are seeking paraben-free, artificial fragrance-free and other shit-free products. And they are all highly priced. Plum seems to offer them at more a reasonable price.

Maybe, as more such brands enter the market, the prices might slowly lower with increasing demand. One final thing, check out their website. I ordered from them before and being a software engineer, I couldn’t help admiring the entire UI, easy and intuitive ordering and checkout process, rewards program, etc. I have used other websites for ordering beauty products but Plum is really excellent. Wishing for newer products and innovations. And discounts too 😉

For oily/normal skin types, am not sure if it would work well. But for me, I am going to repurchase this and recommend it to dry skin and choco lovers.

What I like about it:

* Provides deep nourishment to skin.

* Retains moisture for a longer time.

* Delicious, yummy natural aroma of choco-latte.

* Super convenient packaging.

* Free of parabens, SLS and PABA.

* Cruelty-free.

* Reasonable price compared to other similar brands.

Suggestions for improvement:

* Price can be little lower for a body lotion.

Rating: 6/5 (I couldn’t resist giving 6 😉 It was awesome )

Verdict: Plum Choco Latte Luxuriant Body Lotion is really an excellent treat to nourish and pamper your skin. I would surely recommend this to everyone. Additionally, I would like to add that Plum gives back 1% of its sales to non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting the environment. Good to see such brands emerging in India. 🙂

Vanity Planet Spin For Perfect Skin | 70% Off | Clarisonic Dupe

Vanity Planet Spin For Perfect Skin | 70% Off | Clarisonic Dupe

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing a cleansing brush, the most affordable one in the market.

It is a great option and definitely worth investing in, coz Clarisonic, Foreo Luna, Clinique are all very expensive, this is the most economical option, especially if you are just starting to use cleansing brushes.

Cleansing brushes are a game changer in your skincare routine and once you start using them, you will not go back to using only your hands.

If you wear makeup 3-4 times a week or everyday, this will remove all the makeup and dirt from your pores. And if you don’t wear much makeup, but you are not a kind of person to get regular clean ups and facials done, you should invest in  cleansing brush for sure!

I am using this since a month now and I have noticed a huge difference in my skin! I haven’t broken out since, it removes every bit of dirt and makeup from my pores.

Even after using the best Micellar water, every single time this cleansing brush removes so much makeup from the pores, that it surprises me! After using this regularly, I realize deep cleansing and pores cleaning is so important.

Just removing makeup from the upper layer is not enough, coz all the makeup settled in the pores will not come off with that.

Spin for Perfect Skin comes with 4 attachments and the main spinning tool. One is a cleansing brush which is perfect for everyday use and is very soft and gentle. This is the one I use the most!

Second is the exfoliating brush which can be used once a week for exfoliating the dead skin cells. It is slightly harsher, avoid using this if you have sensitive skin.

Third is the body exfoliating brush which is huge and perfect in size to exfoliate the skin quickly. The skin on body is not as thin as the face, so this brush is perfect for the body.

And last is the pumice stone attachment which would work great for your heels and feet.

So one device takes care of your face, body and feet!

Here is the detailed review and demo..

Vanity Planet Spin for Perfect Skin is priced at $100 but I have a special coupon code for you guys which will give you $70 off i.e. 70% off! You get it for $30 , they have three different shipping options with the cheapest being post at $20 for India. They had free shipping worldwide earlier, it does get a little expensive with the shipping, you can compare the price with the Oriflame one and go with either.

You can either go to www.vanityplanet.com and use the coupon code ‘Bhumika’ or directly go to this link vpwow.com/bhumika to get this device for $30

Overall I would say, if not this, you can go for any brand, but a cleansing brush is absolutely great for your skin and will change your skincare game forever! Highly recommend!

Have you tried any cleansing brush before? Which is your favourite?

P.S: Device sent by brand but it has not affected my review.

July 2016 Fab Bag Unboxing & Review

Hi guys,

I finally got the July Fab Bag today, many of you have been asking me about it since 1st but it was late by 2-3 days this month.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

This month’s theme is ‘Hello Gorgeous’

It’s a cute bag, blue faux leather smooth finish bag with pastel pink lips print all over the bag, I quite liked the bag.

Products I got:

  • Sugar It’s A Pout Time Lipstick in Peachy Little Liars- Rs.599
  • Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram Exfoliator- Rs.425/- for 50g
  • Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo- Rs.119/- for 50ml
  • Johara Instant Radiance Face Scrub- Rs.100 for 15g

Total value of the products: Rs.1245

Starting with the Sugar Lipstick, I am very happy to get this one in this month’s bag, I think I had got one earlier in March or April when they had launched, the shade was Mad Magenta. This time I got a chance to pick the shade and I went with Peachy Little Liars, they have added two new shades, one this and the other red.

I absolutely love the shade, it’s not a peach but more of a pink brown nude. I will be posting a pic wearing that on my Instagram soon.

Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram exfoliator is a clay based face pack which needs to be rubbed after it days, so that it even exfoliates skin. It is on the lines of a ubtan, and can be used both for the face and body. Though it is very expensive to be used for the body and you will need the whole pack for one time use, I will be sticking to using it for the face. It has multani mitti, turmeric, gram flour, rice flour and sandalwood powder.

I have the Johara Instant Radiance face scrub before (full review HERE) and quite like it, this sample is very tiny though, but this is good for travel and might last 3 uses.

I have never tried Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo, this has Oat Proteins and claims to make hair very soft and manageable in few uses. This 50 ml bottle should last 7-8 uses, again perfect for travel. I am looking forward to trying this out.

I like the Sugar Lipstick and Neemli scrub, both the full sized products in the bag. I won’t say it’s a must buy, but you can if you want to try Sugar lipstick.

Also only members with 3,6 or 12 months subscriptions will get a chance to choose the shade, while others who buy only for this month, will not get the option to choose the shade.

What did you get in your July Fab Bag?

10 Bollywood Celebrities Who Turned Vegetarian

By Pallavi

Hiii Dearies,

Gradually world is becoming a healthier place to leave in. More and more people are cutting down and leaving Non Veg food permanently to switch over vegetarian food and lead a vegan lifestyle. The idea behind this is that health issues are increasing day by day. And people are looking to lead a healthier life and gradually increase their life expectancy.

Well, in India we Indians are believed to be star struck. So, whatever the celebrities do many of us blindly follow. And today we are presenting with you a list of celebrities who ditched non vegetarian food to adopt a completely vegan lifestyle –

1. Kangana Ranaut – The queen actress turned vegan as soon as she landed into Mumbai. She said that it has brought a lot of positivity in her life.

2. Shahid Kapoor – He got inspired by the book “Life is fair” by Brian Hines. He said in an interview that this book was gifted to him by his father Mr. Pankaj Kapoor. This actor is believed to have inspired a lot of celebs to turn vegetarian

3. Kareena Kapoor – Being from a healthy Punjabi family eating non veg was part of her lifestyle. But she gave up non veg food owing to healthy influence by her ex beau Shahid Kapoor. Even after their love saga ended she continues to remain vegan till date.

4. Aamir Khan – The perfectionist of bollywood is perfectionist here too. Once his present wife Kiran Rao showed her a video of 15 most common diseases which costs life and how they can be prevented after which he got hooked to vegan eating and never turned back.

5. Vidya Balan – She has been following a vegan diet and lifestyle since her birth. Few years ago her dietitian suggested her to have eggs but after some time she left eggs again and turned into a full vegetarian again.

6. Amitabh Bachchan – The mega star of bollywood has been vegetarian since a no. of years. And he has also been nominated by the PETA three times for being the hottest vegan celebrity.

7. Vidyut Jamval – This hot bodied actor has been vegan since he was  14 years old. He even mentioned once how his concentration has improved since he turned vegan

8. Neha Dhupia – The actress was going through health troubles some years ago. Her doctors suggested her to turn vegetarian and she did. She turned a complete vegetarian and was also named by PETA for the Asia Pacific sexiest vegetarian woman 2011.

9. Celina Jatley – In 2013 there was a 21 day vegan kickstart program which she joined with other celebrities. After which she turned vegetarian

10. Alia Bhatt – It seems that her real life inspiration Kareena Kapoor was the one who inspired her to become vegetarian. And looks like the youngest Bhatt daughter is not going back anytime soon.

So, these were some of the celebrities who ditched non veg food and became all vegetarian. Let me know if any of the other celebrities have also done the same in the comments down below.

Easy Blue Smokey Eyes Makeup Tutorial | Drugstore | Indian Makeup

Hi guys,

I created this easy blue smokey eyes using just two products i.e. Maybelline Sapphire Blue Colorsensational 3D Eyeshadow Palette and Colorbar Eyeshadow Crayon in Moss.

I hope you like the look.

Products used:

Sephora Smoothing Primer
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Concealer
Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Powder
Revlon Nearly Naked Medium Deep Powder
MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter
Marks & Spencer Blush Damson
Maybelline Colorsensational 3D Eyeshadow Palette Sapphire Blue
Colorbar Eyeshadow Crayon Moss
Maybelline Super Black Colossal Kajal
PAC Eyeliner Pen
Rouge Bunny Rouge Alchemy Eyebrow Pencil
Essence Lash Princess Mascara
MAC Flamingo Park Collection Cremesheen Glass Such Sweeties

I liked this Maybelline Palette but they do need a base eyeshadow/pencil for the colors to show up. The highlight shade was pretty good, black one had a lot of fall out though.

I love this Colorbar eyeshadow crayon and these are fabulous even on their own when you don’t want an all out look but some nice color and definition.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Silkissime Eyeliners Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

So L’Oreal Paris had launched these eyeliners as a part of their Cannes Collection, I had reviewed the Infallible Le Mega lip glosses earlier HERE. I took time to review these coz I was in two minds about these. Read on to know my thoughts..

Claims: Indulge your eyes in silk with Silkissimeby Infallible. Glide on smooth intensity with our first silk inspired liquid pencil. The smudge-proof formula lasts for up to 16-hours of intense color from dusk until dawn. Gives a delicate, silky shiny look with ultimate perfection in a single stroke. Available in 8 vibrant shades.

How to use: Apply along the top and bottom lash line beginning in the inner corner of the eye and working outward. Use a sharpener to sharpen the pencil gently and create a working tip.

MRP: Rs.575/- for 1.10g (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

Shades Available:

  • Black
  • Charcoal
  • Pure Purple
  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Cobalt Blue
  • True Teal
  • Plum

I have the shades Plum, Purple, Gold and Silver. They come in a pencil form which needs to be sharpened. And that is a major problem, I will tell you why.

They have a transparent cap and matching shade color outer body, so it’s easy to find the shade you need. The texture is more creamy than butter, it is like melted butter. It glides on super smooth but that is the problem, it breaks every time I try to use it.

It goes on smooth on the waterline but it is difficult to use on the upper lashline coz it gets blunt and breaks every time. And when you try to sharpen these, they melt and keep on breaking. The product is like gel liner in pencil form, I have to use it with an eyeliner brush, rubbing the bristles each time on the pencil. It gets a little difficult and time consuming.

Once applied, it stays put through the day. These are very pigmented and long staying. But the product can hardly be used a few times as 50% goes waste in sharpening and you never get a sharp tip for using it on upper lashline.

I would say these are good for waterline. They also make a perfect base for eyeshadows. I like the gel formula but I would have appreciated gel liners in these shades. The quantity of 1.10g is less for the price and half of it goes waste.

Left-Right: Plum, Pure Purple, Gold, Silver

Either the product inside should have been a little more stiff and sturdy or it should have come with it’s own special sharpener that did not waste the product. It does mention in ‘How to use’, to sharpen with L’Oreal Paris Dual Sharpener, but I haven’t seen it anywhere, I am not sure if it’s available separately. It should have come along with the pencil.

As much as I love the shades and formula, I am not happy with these pencils and I do not reach for them often, coz it burns my heart to see so much wastage :/ I saw the exact same issue with the pencils in US coz all the reviews on Amazon. com also mentioned the same thing. It’s an universal formula with these pencils.

I would not recommend these, unless you are ok with using these only for waterline and lower lashline or as an eyeshadow base. You will not get a crisp or sharp line on upper lashline with these unless you use a brush.

I love the shades though, all four are fabulous, especially the Pure Purple.

What do you think of the new L’Oreal Paris Silkissime Eyeliners?

Braun Silk Epil 9 (SE9-961) Skin Spa Epilator Review

Braun Silk Epil 9 (SE9-961) Skin Spa Epilator Review

Hi guys,

So Braun had launched this new Silk Epil 9 Epilator last year, they have got a new revamped version of it now, which comes with German technology.

I have used it before and I used it again recently. Here are my thoughts on it..

Claims: Braun’s fastest and most precise ever, the Silk-épil 9 Wet & Dry epilator removes even the shortest hairs that wax cannot catch for up to 4 weeks of irresistibly smooth skin. The 40% wider epilation head removes more hair in one stroke. The innovative exfoliation brush gently refines skin for visible radiance.

Features:

  • Wet & Dry usage for gentler epilation: Works in bath or shower for a more comfortable epilation.
  • Pulsating active vibrations: For an extra gentle sensation.
  • Skin contour adaptation: Smoothly adapts to your body contours for more comfort and maximum thoroughness.
  • Smartlight: Reveals even the finest hair for extra thorough epilation.
  • Speed personalization: You can select the right speed for your individual needs: Speed 1 for extra gentle epilation, speed 2 for extra efficient epilation.
  • Cordless use – fast recharge: Epilate wherever and whenever desired. Get up to 40 minutes of operation after just 1 hour of charging.
  • Waterproof & washable: Can be both used and cleaned under running water for better hygiene.

 

MRP: Rs.10985 (BUY HERE for 7999)

Contents:

I have used earlier Braun epilators like 7-7891 and I can say this is an highly improved version in every sense. Even the Silk Epil 7 was wet and dry use and I prefer epilators which can be used wet too, coz I can only bear epilation in shower.

I am mostly a waxing person but I hate going to the salons, and sometimes don’t get the time to call for salon services at home. I end up shaving whenever I have to wear a dress but then I have to keep doing it every 3-4 days. At such times, epilation comes to rescue.

This one is a ‘Skin Spa’ version, so it comes with a body cleansing/exfoliation brush too. So you can not only epilate, but also exfoliate your body and get rid of those in grown hair and dead cells, right in the shower. The exfoliation brush is super dense and the 3000 micro vibrations refine the skin’s surface and make it as soft as a baby’s bottom. It’s like a body scrub at a spa or salon.

What I do and would suggest is, first use the exfoliation brush in shower, and then change the heads, and epilate in shower. The 40% wider head has definitely cut down on the time, my Silk Epil 7 used to take much longer. You can cover more area in one go with the wider head.

I love the light, it comes very handy to catch those smaller hair. Also the speed settings can be changed according to one’s pain threshold, which again is a plus.

I personally use it only wet, I have tried using it dry and I have super sensitive skin, so it gives me bumps and redness all over which takes 2-3 days to subside. I don’t experience that many bumps when used wet and also it is much less painful.

It even comes with a shaving head, so you can even use it to shave. And two additional caps, one for trimming and one for sensitive areas like face, underarms, etc.

The only disadvantage I would say is you need to charge it each time. If you want to use both the exfoliation and epilation brush, the charge would last you just once.

I do recommend it and completely agree on it being Braun’s best epilator. But I would not suggest epilation for girls with sensitive skin or to those who have very low pain threshold. For others, definitely try this and you would not go back to any other epilator.

Have you tried epilators?
