Khadi Instant Youth Rose Face Pack Review

by Dalima Gupta April 9, 2019

written by Dalima Gupta

Khadi Instant Youth Rose Face Pack: One thing that unites the women of India is definitely the love that they share towards the rose water! They might skip using a toner, but never do they forget to add rose water to their daily beauty regime. Khadi rose face pack is specially designed for Indian skin and caters to it in the best possible way. Being the symbol of love and beauty since ancient times, the major ingredient *rose* is the hero of the face pack!

Price Rs 180 for 100 gm

How to use?

Apply a thin coat onto face and neck and leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. Then wash it and pat dry. Can be used 1 to 3 times a week. Can be used on all skin types.

My Experience with Khadi Instant Youth Rose Face Pack

Khadi Instant Youth Rose Face Pack 1

Using a face pack is not part of our daily beauty drill and is used only twice or thrice a week, and that is why choosing the right face pack becomes even more important. We select a face pack majorly due to the benefits of the ingredients that it provides and I choose and recommend this pink pack specifically because of the major ingredient Rose.

This face pack comes in a small plastic container containing a quantity of 100gm. It has a long shelf life of 23 months and costs only Rs.180. As soon as you open the lid, the mesmerizing fragrance takes you back and leaves your face smelling heavenly! You no more need any specific separate cream to give you a blushing glow, you can get that with this very face pack! Every usage gives you an instant result and continuous usage provides you long term glow, hydration, and a clean face.

Pros:-

Tightens skin pores
Reduces skin redness
Gives a rosy complexion
Help get rid of acne
Helps hydrate, revitalize and moisturizes

Cons

None

Would I Recommend/Repurchase?

Do you really need to think twice before buying this product now?

I guess not!

This would definitely sit this product on my bathroom shelf for a long time period, even in future!

Kaya Acne Free Toner Review

by Dalima Gupta April 9, 2019

written by Dalima Gupta

Kaya Acne Free Purifying Toner: Being a teenager or a young adult, there are far bigger problems to deal with than cribbing about a bad grade or not having enough cash at month end to buy popcorn alongside your movie ticket. Yes, I’m talking about Acne. Having acne is no nightmare because that ends quickly, but the stubborn marks take forever to abandon the captured territory on our faces. Most of the beauty products that we use are either suggested by a dermatologist or recommended by a friend who has suffered the same. Sometimes while looking at the bigger picture, we forget how much importance the little things hold that get unnoticed!

A toner? What’s that?

Now, I won’t be surprised if some of the people reading this aren’t even aware of what *exactly* a toner is or how it helps. I myself learned about this key product a few months ago while watching a blogging video. I won’t list out all the ingredients present in this toner because of c’mon, let’s admit it, some of the names are even next to impossible for us to pronounce! But I’m not going to step down even a little bit in listing out all its tremendous usage benefits.

Why opt for this toner?

This purifying toner is not only for a particular type of skin but for a combination! It has extracts of cucumber, hazel, and rose which makes the skin refreshing and leaves it smelling heavenly for a great deal of time. It also reduces irritation on the skin which is great for the people who have acne as we are advised to leave our face alone and not to go around poking fingers here and there.

Quantity ?

100 ml

Price ?

Rs.325. [Is definitely a good investment !]

My experience with Kaya Acne Free Purifying Toner

Structure, packaging, and properties?

It comes in a plastic spray bottle which is very easy to use and convenient to carry! The dominant packaging color is white and there is no scope for leakage.

How to apply?

Just like any good scrub, this wonderful toner exfoliates your skin with skin soothing agents and helps unclog pores. You do not have to go through the cumbersome task of squeezing a fair amount of walnut scrub from your bottle and keep on massaging. Spraying the toner on the cotton pad and then gently sweeping it all over your face and neck is the only labor it requires.

I am currently on my second spray bottle of the toner and am adamant to continue doing so further as well. It helps in reducing penetration of impurities and environmental contaminants into the skin, and acts as a shield especially when you live in a polluted city like Delhi!

Pros

· Prevents growth of ingrown hair

· Highly refreshing

· Smells great

· Reduces irritation

Cons

· None that could make the list as of now!

Would I recommend/Repurchase?

Definitely, a thumbs up to that! Don’t pile up on extra makeup to mask acne, instead go for this extra layer of protection, as more protection is always better than more damage.

Directions for use?

Wash and pat dry the face. Take appropriate amount of pack on the fingertips and spread out uniformly all over the face in a thin layer. Leave it dry for 15 minutes. After drying, wash the face.

My experience with Vlcc De Pigmentation Facemask

Packaging- This mask comes in a plastic tube that is leak proof. It has white and marine as its base colors on the packaging and has the image of a sunflower on it, which very rightfully depicts its major ingredient. The packaging is very catchy and convenient.

Colour, texture, and fragrance – This face mask is creamish in color. It is very breathable when applied. Also, it smells of herbal ingredients.

Experience- This face mask has proven to be very useful for me majorly because of its ingredients, saffron and sunflower oil. Saffron improves complexion and brings radiance to the skin. Sunflower oil has excellent emollient properties. With every additional use, my face feels more nourished, smooth, soft and clean.

Vlcc De-Pigmentation Face mask 3

Pros-

Calming herbal aroma
Gives instant glow and freshness
Economical and user-friendly
Rehydrating and soothing

by Dalima Gupta December 20, 2018

written by Dalima Gupta

Who is it for? Nivea Sensual Musk Body Lotion is for those looking for an affordable musky body lotion.Nivea sensual musk body lotion is specially designed for sensitive skin. This unique warm musk body lotion spreads fragrance all day long and gives a soothing fresh feeling. Its formulation certainly helps and leaves the skin soft and supple.

Rs 413 for 250 ml

How to use?

Squeeze a considerable amount of lotion and apply it directly to your body. Can be applied immediately after a bath, before sleeping and even during your free hours in the daytime.

My experience with Nivea Sensual Musk Body Lotion

Packaging

The lotion comes tightly secured in a plastic bottle with a cap. The bottle is a good size and the graphics are quite decent, nothing extraordinary.

Colour, texture, and fragrance

As soon as you open the bottle and apply the body lotion, the heavenly musk scent fills in all your senses. The lotion is not too runny or watery, nor is it too thick, I would say just the right blend of both. It is white in color and is absorbed by the body in a jiffy.

Experience

The best thing I love about this body lotion is the overpowering fragrance. The sensual musk scent envelopes the senses long lastingly. It moisturizes effectively and there is no need for repeated usage in a single day. One use in the morning or after a shower will keep you going nonstop.

Amazing fragrance

A little expensive

Essence Silky Touch Blush Adorable 10 Review

by Dalima Gupta November 19, 2017

written by Dalima Gupta

I initially started using a blush after watching a youtube video, where I was amazed to see that how many more uses just a single blush had. It was one of those Lazy girls hacks videos where I learned that a blush could do much more work than just being your rosy cheek buddy! I not only use it for getting a flashy red glow but at times substitute it for a lip color with a little blending and eyeshadow as well! Today I am going to review the Essence Silky Touch Blush Adorable 10 , which is the current one sitting in my makeup pouch.

My experience with Essence Silky Touch Blush Adorable 10

Essence Silky Touch Blush Adorable 10 1

Packaging

The blush comes in a small, round and extremely adorable plastic palette packaging which is also transparent. It is a very compact and convenient packaging.

Texture and shade

The texture is very smooth and blends without much effort. There are 7 blush shades available according to your skin tone. I chose the Adorable shade which gives your skin a fulfilling glow.

Fragrance and staying power

It has a very mild fragrance and if I can say, it is an Almost fragrance-free product. The blush starts to fade away after say 3-4 hours eventually. Hence, reapplication is necessary.

How I use it?

I do not hesitate from using this blush even during the daytime as it gives a kind of natural glow. Just a few strokes from the brush can set your face amazingly right. I also sometimes just use my fingers and get done with the job!

Overall performance of Essence Silky Touch Blush Adorable 10

Pros-

Cons-

Doesn’t stay for very long

Would I recommend or repurchase?

I would recommend this blush to people who are new to this and are first timers. Once you get the hang of using it and a good practice, then you can move on to palettes that offer you contours and highlighters as well.

Dove Sensitive Fragrance Free Deodorant Spray Review

by Dalima Gupta October 8, 2017

written by Dalima Gupta

Be it in summers or in winters, deodorants have now become an integral part of our daily routine. In summers, it is needed to ward off the sweat and in winters it covers for us on the days we fail to take a bath! We have to smell bad and at times we wish we didn’t even sweat! But is it possible for a deodorant to help us with both? Read on this review on Dove Sensitive Fragrance-Free Deodorant Spray to find out!

How to use:-

My experience with Dove Sensitive Fragrance-Free Deodorant Spray

Dove Sensitive Fragrance Free Deodorant Spray Review 3

I have loved using this product in the summers as it definitely saves us from embarrassing sweat patches. This product is beneficial especially for them who want to go easy on their expenditure as this product lasts longer and is worth every rupee that you pay. There is no white foam or white residue that is left after usage. It leaves the underarms looking natural and sweat free.

This isn’t only a deodorant, but also an antiperspirant. The new and improved formula has 1/4^th moisturizing cream which immediately cools and refreshes your underarms and can control sweat for the whole day with one or two reapplications. It comes in a plastic spray can and is designed in a way so that it can be conveniently carried. The best part about this product is that it has 0% alcohol and there are no burning sensations when applied on the skin. There is no leakage and the plastic can have Dove’s home color i.e. white as the main bottle color. It is also dermatologically tested and is especially suitable for sensitive skin as the product claims.

Dove Sensitive Fragrance Free Deodorant Spray Review 3

Overall performance of Dove Sensitive Fragrance-Free Deodorant Spray

Pros:

Does not burn any holes in our pockets.
0% Alcohol
Controls sweat
Has moisturizing cream
Is suitable for sensitive skin

Cons:

The 48-hour claim made does not hold true. Reapplications are necessary.
Being an antiperspirant as well, the deodorant doesn’t have a strong fragrance.

Would I recommend or repurchase?

Dove sensitive fragrance-free deodorant spray is definitely a hero product when it comes to summers. In winters, we can go for a deodorant with a much stronger fragrance as there are not many sweating issues. I would recommend the purchase of this product as it works exactly like your anti sweat roll-on sticks or if I may say, even better!

written by Dalima Gupta

We ladies are choosy and like to have our options when it comes to shopping! Sometimes it’s simple, if I have dandruff, I’ll buy an anti-dandruff shampoo, if I have oily skin, I’ll pick an oil-free face wash. But when does it get difficult? Well, surely when it’s time to choose a deodorant or a body spray. This is one essential area because we get associated with our fragrances and they become an integral part of us and influence our moods! Just like many body spray advertisements show us that if you smell good, you feel good, and I totally second that. A lot like many other commendable Yardley fragrances, Yardley London English Rose Body Eau De Toilette Body Spray is too an unforgettable one.

I have a habit of not sticking to one fragrance and keep changing my deodorants repeatedly. But I was extremely happy when I came across this body spray and this is the recent one that I am using.

Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter Review

by Dalima Gupta September 26, 2017

written by Dalima Gupta

Not only does your face deserve your attention, but your body demands an equal amount of pampering as well, and using a body lotion on a regular basis is just an inexpensive way to do it. The need of using a body lotion is high and so are the options available, but it is up to you to choose the one that best suits your body and gives you all the benefits of a good, useful lotion. Let’s see the review for Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter.

Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter 2

Basic info about Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter

The body lotion by Khadi brings us back to our roots with its indigenous fragrance infused with homely aromas of saffron and essential oils. This is made in India and hence understands the Indian body type and requirements very well. It contains 0% paraben alcohol and is suitable for all skin types.

Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter 3

How to use?

Squeeze a good amount of lotion onto your hands and massage it gently over your hands, legs, and body.

My experience with Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter

Structure, packaging, and properties?

The lotion comes in a simply designed plastic squeeze bottle. It is extremely easy to use and apply. The only labor required from your side is to squeeze some lotion onto your hands, rub it together and then apply all over your body. An added advantage is that it has a long shelf life of 23 months. The lotion is whitish and creamish in color and is very smooth to apply.

Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter

Why choose this over others?

I started using this lotion last winters. I used to apply it daily after a bath but in summers I apply it at night as the day temperatures are too hot which can result in the lotion mixing up with sweat. Your skin starts feeling soft and hydrated after initial use in a few days itself and you can clearly see the dryness disappear. The two areas of greatest concern for us have always been our elbows and knees which dry quickly and this lotion has helped me to keep them smooth and soft. They no more look a dry white on my body. The quantity that this bottle offers is quite a lot with no lotion sticking here and there and unnecessary wastage. There is no leakage at all and the product lasts longer and keeps me smelling good for a decent amount of the day.

Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter 1

Overall performance of Khadi Skin Renewing Saffron Body Lotion With Shea Butter

Pros:-

Soft and smooth skin
No white knees and elbows
Skin smells good
Keeps your skin hydrated

Cons:-

Might mix with sweat in summers due to high temperatures and humidity. So, to avoid such greasiness, it can be applied in very little amount or at night.

Would I recommend/repurchase?

I would definitely recommend this product and if not for a long run, you can definitely at least try this once and see the results for yourself. The list of pros is high including skin that is softer, smoother, hydrated and supple. With aqua light liquid paraffin, shea butter and glycerin, it has some of the very best natural ingredients which can be tried and trusted. This product definitely keeps the happiness of its users high on the happiness meter and leaves them smelling good, which automatically makes them feel good!
