Non Sticky Hair Oil by Hair & Care

As I am trying to grow out my hair for 2-3 years now, the ends of my hair have become dry. On top of that, I had to use heat tools in the past few months for quite a number of times. It has become extremely essential to put some extra effort to restore my hair to its original texture. I generally prefer herbal hair oils with a heavy natural oil base (like amla oil, sesame oil, coconut oil etc.). Natural oils are often very sticky and they tend to weigh down the hair sometimes. That is the reason I keep a store-bought light hair oil like Non Sticky Hair Oil by Hair & Care. I have tried all the variants of Hair & Care oil and my today’s review is the original variant which is the oldest one from Hair & Care.

Non Sticky Hair Oil by Hair & Care 2

Non Sticky Hair Oil by Hair & Care 1

My Experience with Non Sticky Hair Oil by Hair & Care

Packaging- This hair oil comes in a see-through plastic bottle. The bottle has green as its theme color. The oil bottle has a flip-open system for pouring out the product. It has a unique ergonomic shape for user convenience. The back of the pack is kept for all the informative details. The brand has revealed complete ingredient list which is useful to know about the product in depth.

Colour & Texture- The oil looks light green in the bottle but on hand, it looks colorless and transparent. The brand claims it to be a non-sticky oil and it actually is a non-greasy oil. Its consistency is almost like a dry oil. The main constituent of this oil is mineral oil and the rest is vegetable oil. Naturally, it performs like a serum more than a nourishing oil.

Fragrance- This oil has light herbal fragrance. The smell is not overpowering and reminds me of lush greenery. The staying power of this oil is not very considerate. I do not like my hair oils to smell strong as it induces a headache. Thankfully this oil does not fall into this category!

Experience- This is a standard variant of hair oil from Hair & Care. Like any other mineral oil based hair care product, this one also has a weightless texture which we often see on dry oils or oil based hair serums. I generally use this as my pre-shampoo oil but I have also used it post-shampoo as a replacement for my leave-in hair serum. This is a moderately moisturizing hair oil. Vegetable oil works for my hair and that is why this oil is able to take care of my frizziness problem to some extent. Being a lightweight product it does not cause product build up to my scalp. But, the smoothening effect and softened texture I get from this oil stay only for 1-2 days.

Non Sticky Hair Oil by Hair & Care  3

Overall Performance of Non Sticky Hair Oil by Hair & Care

Pros-

  1. lightweight hair oil
  2. Gives nourishment
  3. Softens hair strands
  4. Does not give annoying stickiness
  5. Smell is not overpowering
  6. Can be used in place of hair serum
  7. Easily easily

Cons-

  1. The main constituent is mineral oil
  2. Amount of natural extracts is ridiculously scarce
  3. Does not have long term benefits

Would I Repurchase or Recommend?

Hair & Care Non-sticky Hair Oil is a light non-sticky hair oil in a mineral oil base. It is a standard hair oil that provides instant nourishment and softness but does not have considerable long-term benefits. I would not be buying this one since I like its fruit oils variant with Orange and Anaar. If you want to replace your everyday hair serum with something nourishing, you might find it useful but I would not suggest this as a hair conditioning oil for dry hair.

After removing the palette from the box, you can see that the eye shadow shades are enclosed within a transparent square plastic box. There is a cap which can be picked up and inside, you can clearly see the shades as well as an applicator.

Maybelline New York color sensational Diamonds Eye shadow Topaz Gold Review 1

The applicator Maybelline New York has provided along with the eye-shadow palette is a dual-ended applicator. This enables us to carefully apply the shades, in the inner and outer corner of eye-shades. Nice thought, right?

I’m loving’ it <3 <3

Maybelline New York color sensational Diamonds Eye shadow Topaz Gold Review 5

 

This product suits everyone so well. Moreover, a shimmer look has been added to each of the shades, resulting in enhancing the experience one has with the palette. Also, this must be removed with an eye makeup remover and usage of normal water to let go of the shade from the eyelid is almost impossible.

Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash 3

My Experience with the Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash:-

The body shop’s seaweed range is basically made for combination to oily skin and works for sensitive skin as well. The face wash is gel based in nature and is little runny in consistency. The smell of this face wash is quite refreshing to me and not too strong to irritate your skin and nose. The menthol effect can be felt after and while using the face wash and it feels quite refreshing. The face wash is really gentle on my skin. Talking about the cleansing power of this facial wash is quite satisfactory as it is gentle it doesn’t remove makeup completely but it does remove makeup up to some extent. It removes excess oil from the skin and pores at the same time without making skin dry. It controls excess sebum production and oiliness of the face to a great level. It doesn’t break me out but I feel It does not work very well on my acne issue but it does have faded my black acne scars to a bit also my face feels toned after using this facial wash. The best thing about this facial wash is it completely removes the impurities from the skin beneath. My face feels super clean without feeling over oily and dry at the same time. The packaging is travel-friendly, convenient and cute.

Would I Repurchase or Recommend the Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleanse Facial Wash:-

I would rate it 4. I would repurchase it for removing my skin impurities and for controlling my oily skin it is great but I don’t recommend it to those who are looking for a relief in acne.

It’s Skin The Fresh Mask Sheet Carrot Clear Skin Review

The popular Korean brand It’s Skin is finally here in India with their wide array of Korean skincare goodies. Today I am reviewing their The Fresh Mask Sheet Carrot Clear Skin. I have been experimenting a lot of Korean sheet masks throughout 2017 and this is my new venture on sheet masks in this New Year. Fruit-based sheet masks are my favorites but It’s Skin has lots of other options too. So, I ended up buying this Carrot based mask. Carrot is often known for its anti-aging benefits and Vitamin A contents. This mask went to buying list as I wanted something moisturizing for my skin. Let’s read on to know how it fared on my skin.

It’s Skin The Fresh Mask Sheet Carrot Clear Skin Review  2

It’s Skin The Fresh Mask Sheet Carrot Clear Skin Review  3

My Experience with It’s Skin The Fresh Mask Sheet Carrot Clear Skin

Packaging- This mask comes in a sachet made of matte plastic. The pack is thoroughly sealed to prevent the mask from getting contaminated and to keep the effectiveness of the main ingredients intact. The front side of the pack shows pictures of some vibrant orange carrots. The look delicious! Though there are some pictorials and instructions are given in the back of the pack, I could not understand a bit of it since everything is written in Korean.

Colour & Texture- The mask sheet is basically a flap of cotton type material with holes for eyes, nose, and mouth. The size of the mask sheet is not perfect for my face. But this happens to every other mask sheet so it’s something I have learned to cope with. The serum provided with it is a clean solution. It is watery liquid but does not drip off. The serum is more moisturizing than Dear Packer Home Remedy masks; the consistency will be almost similar to The Face Shop’s mask serums.

Fragrance- This mask has a very light sweet fragrance to it. Thankfully it does not smell like carrots! The smell is not long-lasting. It will stay till the mask is on your face. I love the fragrance of this sheet mask.

Experience- This Carrot mask is my first sheet mask from It’s Skin and I am pretty impressed by its performance. The serum is not a drippy liquid and it does moisturize my skin. This mask says to bring back the vitality of skin by contradicting the environmental extremities and it does so. It helps the skin to stay hydrated. The winter dryness feels lot lesser after 3 days of using this serum. It gives a nice plump look. To make that plumpness stay longer, sticking to a proper skin care regimen is essential. This mask does not make false promises and it shows good results on my skin in this winter weather. This mask will also work in summer for those with combination to dry skin.

Overall Performance of It’s Skin The Fresh Mask Sheet Carrot Clear Skin

Pros-

  1. Moisturizing sheet mask
  2. Removes dullness and flakiness
  3. Brings glow to the skin
  4. Skin looks plump and healthy
  5. Did not cause acne
  6. Does not make false claims
  7. Soothes dryness induced irritations of skin
  8. Suits all skin type including sensitive skin

Cons-

  1. Mask does not fit properly
  2. Result lasts 3 days for me unless I rigorously follow my skin care regimen

Would I Repurchase or Recommend?

It’s Skin The Fresh Mask Sheet Carrot Clear Skin is a good face mask sheet that moisturizes the skin and helps to get rid of flaky dryness. I am completely in for another of this carrot based mask. I will recommend this mask to everyone for winters and combination to dry skin in summer.

Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick Fall In Rose 404 4

Ladies…. Summer is here. It’s time to be bright and colorful. Imagine yourself in a scarf around your neck with shades on with a trendy color on your lips.. Wouldn’t that be awesome! Oh yes definitely. Pale lips aren’t so cool. For girls like me especially, who look pale just because of their lips. It’s time to put on some color.

Since time immemorial lipstick has been a women’s bff, adding glow to her face, enhancing her beauty and seizing all the charm to herself.

Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof  Liquid Lipstick  Fall In Rose 404

Basic Information about Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick Fall in Rose 404

 

Chambor is a well known brand, origin is Switzerland. Chambor brand offers you variety of cosmetics. The product I’ll be describing is the lipstick which I bought recently. It’s a liquid type of lipstick. It’s an intense shade of pink color, nourishes your lips and gives a dazzling look.

Price

845rs for mL

What does the brand claim?

It’s a liquid lipstick, transfer proof, intense color, and creamy matte finish. Can be used for a year and a half.

Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof  Liquid Lipstick  Fall In Rose 404 2

 How to use?

They provide you a smooth brush along to just pat it gently on your lips for a light color then you can just spread it all over your lips. If you want an intense color, like for parties then a single stroke will do. Don’t rub with your fingers or one lip with another, otherwise lines will appear and it’ll spoil the look. With the corner of brush make the borders and clean the angles with a tissue and you’re ready to shine. And for removal, you can use any make up removal solution or cleansing milk.

My experience with Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick Fall in Rose 404

Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof  Liquid Lipstick  Fall In Rose 404 3

My first lipstick was from CHAMBOR. And I chose matte finish. How did I feel you ask? Oh, dazzling color and long lasting. I just put on a single stroke in the morning and even after 3 meals it was on my lips, slightly faded though, but the pinkish hue ceased all the charm.  It just blends with lip color and has its own trend. No kidding girls, true it is. It goes with Western wear and ethnic too. And serves well for a perfect pout. If you’re lips are pale the color will be intense pink but for dark lips, it gives a pinkish purple hue … very cool though.

 

Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof  Liquid Lipstick  Fall In Rose 404 4

Overall performance of Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipstick Fall in Rose 404

 

The product works great. The color is simply fantastic. Very good brand and Lips will be taken care of. Makes you look very photogenic.

Positives

  • Easy availability
  • Long lasting
  • Dazzling color
  • Pinkish hue after slight fading
  • Enhances charm
  • Doesn’t darken your lips
  • Doesn’t make your lips dry

Negatives

  • Little expensive but generally all lipsticks are of same cost
  • Try before you buy, some people might be allergic to some contents.

Would I recommend?

Definitely. The product is easily available in all boutiques, beauty shops like health and glow.  It’s worth a shot. You’re going to look so bright and modest. You’re going to love it. Gone are those days of shiny lip balm. Girl… you need some classy matte finish. Be it a brunch party or a nightlife club, with this matte finish and dazzling color you’re going to own the show. The color is so lovely that even if you don’t wear a matching accessory it’s going to increase your beauty. Let your Lips do all the talking and your name will be on lips around you. So what are you waiting for, grab a Chambor, put on some shades and dazzling lip color and Own your day ?

Wet n Wild Powder Brush Review 1

Wet n Wild Powder Brush  : Makeup brushes are as important as your makeup products. A good applicator can make all the difference to your makeup look! With Wet n Wild recently launching in India, we get to test out products out of the famously affordable makeup brand.

So I bring a newly launched powder brush available in the market- the Wet n Wild Powder brush.

Wet n Wild Powder Brush Review

What is it?

This is a makeup brush which can be used to apply loose or pressed powder on the face to give a finishing touch to your makeup.

Price- 

299 Rupees a unit

 

How to use it?

Pick up the product on the brush, tap off the excess and apply it on the face.

My Experience with the Wet n Wild Powder Brush

Packaging- 

The powder brush comes in a plastic package of its own. To be honest, it is quite flimsy and cannot be used to store the brush.

How the Brush Looks-

The brush looks very cute and pretty. It has a white handle with appropriately placed dents to help in controlling the direction of application. Also, the combination of white and pink bristles just makes them look really nice and girly.

But I received a brush with a bristle in the brush which stood out among the white bristles.

Bristle Texture- 

The brush has large and plush bristles which are really soft. The curved bristles help to pick up the right amount of powder for a good application.

The brush is neither too dense nor too sparse, which makes it really good for using it with powder.

My Experience-

This is an amazing powder brush for the price it is available. I use this powder brush for setting my makeup, blush, and bronzer and must I say it is great. The brush is super soft and feels like a natural hair brush.

The brush picks up just the right amount of product and gives an amazing finish without being patchy or loading up the product on the face.

The best part of the brush is that the pink color on the tip of the bristles prevents the brush from looking very dirty.

Wet n Wild Powder Brush Review 1

Wet n Wild Powder Brush Review 3

Pros-
  1. The brush is super soft
  2. Design gives the user good control
  3. Excellent price
  4. Looks super cute
  5. Gives a flawless finish on the face
Cons-
  1. Could have been packaged better
Would I Repurchase or Recommend?

I would surely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good quality brush at an affordable price.

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Facial Wipes

What is it? Himalaya Purifying Neem Facial Wipes are soft and non-alcoholic with a gentle formulation that mildly cleanses skin to keep it clean and healthy. Enriched with the power of Neem and Turmeric that are known for antibacterial properties, the wipes freshen skin and also help conveniently remove make-up.

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Facial Wipes

Price- Rs.45 for 10 Wipes & Rs.100 for 25 Wipes

My Experience with Himalaya Herbals  Purifying Neem Facial Wipes

Packaging- These wipes are packed in a re-sealable plastic pouch. The pouch has an opening at the front to dispense the tissues. The plastic pack contains all the informative details, ingredient list, and usage guide. The packaging is very travel-friendly. It is available in two sizes; smaller pack contains 10 wipes while the bigger pack holds 25 wipes. I have purchased the bigger pack as the neem variant is favorite.

Colour & Texture- Neem facial wipes are 200x158mm soft cotton wipes. They are free from artificial colorants so they are pure white in color. They are soaked in colorless liquid but not drenched. I have used Johnson’s baby wipes before. These wipes have less cleaning liquid than Johnson’s ones. The quality of the cotton fabric is slightly gentler than the baby wipes.

Fragrance- The neem based wipes has a light medicinal yet herbal smell to it. The fragrance is a lot like the Neem face wash from Himalaya. The fragrance is mild and it stays 10-15 minutes.

Experience- Himalaya’s Neem range products suit my skin really well so I had high expectations from this wipe. Though it is not mentioned anywhere in the pack, this neem variant wipes would suit normal to oily skin best. If you have a pimple prone skin then this is the variant you should opt for. The neem wipes have been able to remove waterproof mascara, liquid lipstick, creamy lipstick, under eye concealer (as you can see in the before-after picture). I had to go over one place 5-6 times to get rid of the sticky makeup like mascara and liquid lipstick. It felt gentle enough on my facial skin. It gave a cooling feel as the liquid evaporated. The cooling effect was not like the effect provided by alcohol rich wipes. I have also tried this wipe on my oily and dirty face. It could remove the dirt without drying the skin. I would have loved it more if the wetness of the wipes were a bit more.

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Facial Wipes 6

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Facial Wipes 5

Pros-
  1. Gentle non-drying facial wipes
  2. Freshens up the skin
  3. Removes every type of makeup
  4. Alcohol-free formula
  5. Removes impurities from the skin
  6. Does not contain parabens or artificial colors
  7. Prevents pimples
  8. Herbal fragrance (like Himalaya Neem face wash)
  9. Value for money product
Cons-
  1. The wipes should contain more liquid
Would I Repurchase or Recommend?

Himalaya Purifying Neem Facial Wipes are good quality wipes for freshening up the skin as well as removing makeup. The soft and gentle wipes did not irritate my skin. I would certainly repurchase these wipes again and again. I would suggest these wipes to someone with normal to oily skin that is searching for affordable makeup remover wipes.

How to use:

Shake well before use. Take an appropriate amount onto your palm and blend into all exposed areas until well absorbed. Use as the last step in skin care routine. Apply liberally 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours.

My experience with All Natural Sunscreen: Kama Ayurveda Natural Sun Protection

Kama Ayurveda sunscreen is a natural sun protectant claimed by the company containing 99.3% of the natural content. The amount of SPF may seem less but for the Indian climate and sun exposure, it’s just perfect to use. It not about high SPF but about the correct amount in the product.

This sun protectant is gentle non-chemical daily-use sunscreen blended with nutmeg that has anti-inflammatory properties that provide full-spectrum sun protection and a boost of hydration to keep skin healthy and even-toned. As claimed by the company it is not suitable for acne-prone skin but suits all other types.

I apply a layer of moisturizer and then the sunscreen in a tap motion. We should always dab and not rub the sunscreen; it should be layered in terms of protecting the skin. It forms a white cast after application but disappears after some time. It should be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure.

The sunscreen comes in a yellow black tube, perfect to be carried around in a bag. The product contains Zinc Oxide, which is a natural occurring mineral and one of the safest skin-protecting ingredients against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays. It filters out both UVA and UVB rays, thus forming a shield that keeps UV radiation from penetrating the skin and causing cell damage. With Anti-microbial properties, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide is non-toxic, non-comedogenic and is one of the few sun care ingredients that are safe to use.

The consistency of the product is perfect to apply and blends into the skin very well. It leaves the skin lightly refreshingly scented because of the content of natural ingredients.

NYX Cosmetics Perfect Filter Eyeshadow Palette Rustic Antique

NYX Perfect Filter Rustic Antique: Today, I will be reviewing the NYX Cosmetics Perfect Filter Eyeshadow Palette Rustic Antique. The makeup palette itself reminds of some ancient shades and hues. True to its name, it has a wide spectrum of shades that can be used for any occasion. The name itself sounds so classy and fun. Doesn’t it? read on to know details about this NYX Makeup product.

My experience with NYX Perfect Filter Rustic Antique

Packaging

It comes in a rectangular box palette with a transparent top that shows all the shades.

Colour and texture

It has a variety of colors and they are all powdery/ chalky in nature with some amount of fall out.

Fragrance

It is fragrance-free

Experience

At some point in time, I got obsessed with eyeshadows and purchased this really pretty palette from NYX professionals perfect filter eyeshadow palette in “rustic antique”. The shade range is very pretty and I found this to be suitable enough to be used for any occasion, day or night. The shade ranges from light creams, to light oranges to golds to rose golds in browns and rustic grey shade. This palette can be used to create various kinds of looks. Some of the shades of this palette are shimmery and some of them are absolutely matte. The shimmery shades have fallen out but the matte shades are pretty good. They don’t make the eye lids oily and also stays on for a good 3 to 4 hours if an eye shadow primer is applied prior to the application of these eye shadows. But, the shades are very powdery and chalky, which makes it difficult to blend while wanting to create different eye looks. Some of the shades just don’t show up at all even after multiple swipes. This is not something that is expected from NYX. In all, for the price, the pigmentation is not so great and the blendability is also just mediocre. I wouldn’t really recommend this and I didn’t like this palette as well.

  1. Great packaging
  2. Nice collection of shades
  3. Doesn’t make lids oily
Cons
  1. Not too good pigmentation
  2. Some shades just don’t show up
  3. No applicator provided
  4. Chalky and powdery
  5. Very expensive
  6. Not blendable
  7. Not creamy
Would I repurchase or recommend this?

No, I wouldn’t repurchase or recommend this palette since it doesn’t stand up to its claims and definitely not worth the price.

Rating: 2.5/5

Glossypolish verdict: The NYX palette is not a great buy since the pigmentation is very poor and the shades are chalky. Some shades don’t show up and the price is pretty high, so this product is definitely not recommended.

My Experience with Forest Essentials Body Mist Jasmine and Saffron

The best thing about the product is that it natural and has no chemicals in it .so it protects the skin from harsh chemicals.

This product is a good blend of jasmine and saffron and has a pleasant fragrance which for me is a little strong. The body mist easily gets absorbed once sprayed and doesn’t leave any residue or form any layer on the skin.

The body mist is easy to carry as it is sleek and handy and is a very travel-friendly product.

This product is not a really long-lasting one and it would need to be reapplied frequently. So the brand claim in terms of its lasting power is not totally true as I had to reapply it a few times throughout the day.

Also in terms of price the quantity is very less, so it makes the product very expensive and not everyone would invest into such an expensive body mist and might opt for other available options as a body something one would need to use regularly.

 I use it sometimes and alternate it with other body mists. The product is good in terms of fragrance and it a natural product but the price is something that not everyone would be willing to shell out from their pocket for a product that won’t last long.

Overall Performance of Forest Essentials Body Mist Jasmine and Saffron

Positives

  • Herbal product has no chemicals
  • Has a pleasant fragrance
  • Easy to carry and is a very travel-friendly product
  • Leaves no residue or doesn’t form any layer on the skin
  • Gets absorbed in no time
  • Makes your skin feel hydrated and fresh

Negatives 

  • The fragrance is not long-lasting
  • It would need to be reapplied frequently
  • It is expensive
  • It contains alcohol
  • The fragrance could be strong for some

Overall would I recommend or repurchase?

No I would not recommend it as it is expensive and is not that long-lasting lasting and for a regular-use product like a body mist it failed to impress me in terms of quantity, efficiency and price. No doubt the product is from a credible and well-known brand but what makes it a winner is its efficiency or stay power and this one is not something I would invest my money into.

GlossyPolish Verdict:

3/5
