SOULFLOWER Jojoba carrier oil, Grapeseed carrier oil review

Hi Beauties! Today I'm gonna share two career oils' review from the brand Soulflower. The oils are versatile and can be used on face and hair as well. So let us get started. Soulflower has become a known name in India but for those who are unaware of the brand, here is a small introduction:   a homegrown brand of natural aroma products and pioneer of the unique concept of Spa@Home. What I like the most about this brand is its excellent customer support (you can contact the team via whatsapp and ask doubts or seek consultation about which product to be used for what). Apart from this, all products are absolutely natural and free from preservatives and parabens. The oils came in tiny cardboard boxes and with free sprays. ( however, I don't see any use of those spray tops, I would have much preferred a dropper). GRAPESEED CARRIER OIL: What company says:  Great for stubborn acne, tightens and tones the skin. Use it as a moisturizer under the eyes. ...

Lotus Herbals ECOSTAY LIP Colors- Magenta Magic, Cherry Joy, Apricot Bliss

A very warm welcome to all beauties on our blog! It has been such a long time since I posted something. Hah! I feel good! So let's get started. Today I am reviewing 3 Lipsticks from Lotus Herbals. I am biased towards natural products so Lotus Herbals is gaining my attention a lot these days for its quality products. Another reason for liking these lipsticks is that they are '100% vegetarian'- A claim which is not made by many companies. About the product : 100 % Vegetarian Ecostay Lip colour is a Preservative free, natural, long lasting, hydrating lip colour. One swipe and your lips are ready for healthier shine all day long without any loss of moisture, ensuring flawless finish. SPF 20 gives UV protection. Give your lips this healthy nutrition. Shelf Life : 3 years Price :  545 INR Qty : 4.2 g Ingredients : Not mentioned My experience: Like I said, whenever it is feasible, I always opt for natural makeup. Lotus gives us a wide make up range. My fi...

Biotique Bio Aloevera Lip Balm

Hey Beauties, Today I would like to share my reviews on a lip balm by Biotique. So here we start. BIOTIQUE BIO NOURISHING ALOEVERA LIP BALM MRP - 113/- QTY- 16 G SHELF LIFE- 3 years My experience- I am not a fan of Biotique green range but this one is my best buddy forever. Be it winter or summer, it always works for me. I have to reapply it sometimes to keep my lips moisturised but it is okay:) Its consistency is like -umm- butter to some extent. I use it beneath lipstick and sometimes even alone. It protects lips from UV rays which is like icing on the cake.What else to say.... I always take it with me wherever I go.One more thing: it doesn't increase the pigmentation if you have any nor does it lighten it though. I do not like the taste of it much, but it does a very good job in keeping even most chappy lips moisturised. Yes one more thing, after some time it gives a white residue/dead skin around the opening of lips, which is very annoying. I scrub it of...

Amway Attitude Sunscreen Lotion

Hi Freinds, Today I will review one of my favorites & my Love-you-forever sunscreen lotion from the brand Amway.So here we go: ATTITUDE SUNSCREEN LOTION SPF 15 MRP- 425/- ( you will get discount of around 18% if you are a consultant) Qty.-   150 ml Shelf life- 2 years without flash with flash My experience with this product- The lotion's consistency is not too runny nor too thick. However, it is a little oily (thick). Amway claims that the lotion is apt for all skin types. I would like to disagree here. It is suitable but you need to vary the quantity you use according to the skin type. Oily skin will have to test it once. It may give acnes. It is no way a moisturizer, it is a sunscreen lotion, so you will have to use a light weight moisturizer before applying it especially if you have dry skin. I like using this lotion for two reasons- one is: it gives dewy finish to my face, adding glow to my skin. Second is: it is not very heav...

V WASH INTIMATE WASH

Hey buddies, Here I am with yet another review of a product for intimate area's hygiene. I discussed in my earlier post about how effective the intimate washes are, and also reviewed Oriflame's & Avon's intimate wash. Read the post here Today, I will review another intimate wash for private area- V Wash. As Avon & Oriflame products are only available via their consultants. I decided to try some other brand's intimate wash which is readily available in the market. My search ended at V wash. So, here we go - V WASH PLUS Market price-160/- Quantity      - 100 ml Shelf life     -  2 years                 My take on it: V wash has runny consistency and is a transparent liquid like all other intimate wash products. It has a fragrance which is difficult to define but some may not like the fragrance. For me, I am okay with the fragrance as long as the wash does its job well. I feel fres...

My experience of Vipassana

It was getting complicated. I wanted to spend some time with me. On a secluded place where I could hear my voice.  I was taking the most crucial decisions of my life and I didn’t want to be reckless with it. Also, it required a lot of courage. I was also noticing some behavioral changes in me, which I didn’t like at all. The signs of Irritation, quick temper, hopelessness    & negativity were the clues enough to make me jump into action.  I chose Vippassana which have been long recommended to me by my Well wisher. Owing to my specific needs of a well maintained, Hygienic place and that too in a hilly area, I zeroed in upon ‘Igatpuri ‘ &’ Nagarjuna Sagar’ centre. Finally, giving to the proximity to my place & counting on my safety, I finally selected Nagarjuna Sagar. It was an online application form that I was supposed to fill in order to get in the queue. 1 week later they confirmed my seat. I was damn excited!! I didn’t have much diff...

Biotique Dandelion Ageless Lightening Serum

Hi to all ‘Alice in the wonderland’! Today we will talk about SERUMs- which have become a  popular & favorite product of all those who want to look beautiful today & ever. For those who don’t know, Serums are nothing but moisturizers . Just that serums are more concentrated & more powerful J Serums penetrate deeper in the skins & hence work like a magic . (Some analysts argue that serums can do more harm to the skin for the very same reason that they can go deep inside the skin where moisturizers are unable to reach & may take bacteria, chemicals etc. along with it. However, this point can be taken care of if you choose your serum carefully & wash your hands well before applying serum) There are all sorts of serums , Brightening serum, anti ageing serum, whitening serum , anti pigmentation serum  & what not. My secret desire revolved around a serum that would brighten, tighten, soften my skin & this desire brought me to Bi...
