BIOTIQUE BIO PAPAYA Revitalising Tan-Removing Scrub for all skin types

Today I am reviewing a product from my most loved brand Biotique.This one is called Biotique Papaya Revitalising and smoothing scrub.Scrubs are so important in any girls or for that matter of fact Mens vanity too.The work that a scrub does cannot be replaced by any other product.Now that said ,it's imperative that scrubs are creamy and not too harsh and grainy in texture.Although scrubbing is important for skin , facial skin needs great attention while using any scrub.Facial skin is very very delicate and thus be taken care of in the most gentlest manner.Whenever a scrub is used ,make sure you rub it gently,i mean very gently  in small circular motions.This way it cleans,buffs and removes skin tan without disturbing the layers and their glands .Thus the optimum condition of skin is maintained. Product :Biotique BIO  Papaya Revitalising Tan-removing Scrub Product Type : Facial scrub Product price: 199 for 85gms. Ingredients: Papita (Carica papaya), Kela (Musa sapientum), Khajoo...

Dry skin is one high maintenance skin ..I mean atleast for me.I need to be..literally embalming myself with moisturiser all the time.

My newest buy from Maybelline is their Lip Polish( lipgloss).I haven't bought this online , but a store near to where I reside.

Best natural face cleanser /face cleanser

Image
You might have never thought that this would work so well when advertisers , friends , blogs influence you to buy stuff .BUT HERE I AM TELLING YOU NO BLOG WILL TELL  YOU... About a natural sponge that you can use to remove any grime / dirt. I stumbled upon this best natural face cleaner /face cleanser when I was shopping for my 1 year old baby .I bought the natural sponge at a baby store. Sponges are kind sea organisms that have no nervous system, digestive system or anything like that. They just have pores and only pores. And this natural sponge( which feels a wee bit like the artificial sponges) is one must -have item for a beautiful skin. Facial skin is delicate than the skin on the other parts of the body and its imperative that we treat it with utmost care just like you treat baby's skin. Now just as any mother would try anything on herself (except clothes)before she uses for her kid , I did that with this natural sponge too and God I so loved it that I kept it all form self.....

What women want? Mesmerizing eyes , because eyes say it all !And to get those in the simplest way is the use Kajal on your waterline .Though Kohl is just another name.But I must say of all the Natural , Organic , Blackest Black , Smudge proof , no nonsense Kohl  Kajals I have tried , Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate is by far the best one I used and thus the review!Kajal/Kohl is my quintessential item which I use whenever I go out .Especially with my almond shaped small eyes a Kohl pencil does a lot.I look better in photos , eyes look wee bit bigger and intense , so its my favourite.My skin is dry and my eye area is dry too and this product seems like its made for me ;glides on smooth , feels comfortable and that tinge of moisturising feeling indeed.As the product claims it has moisturising ceramides which I guess does the job.Such drama it adds to my eyes , I just cant explain , you gotta try one for yourself.
