Oriflame Pure Nature Burdock extract Clay Mask

Image
Organic face mask??Must be very expensive ,but I would say no! The Clay Mask from Oriflame has organic burdock extracts which makes a special pick to recommend especially for normal to oily skins.As you know my skin is dry and obviously I tried this only once , did me a clarifying look but again not a frequent user.But I am giving a review because my mum-in-law loves this product,she says this is the best. In fact she is very choosy when it comes to picking any stuff , literally any kind of stuff , but she vouches on this product.Since this routine does not take much time , she uses it especially when attending parties etc., .Even before she runs out of this product she immediately asks me to order it.This means that this product works great of aged skin,because in an another encounter , even my elderly sister who lives in Australia liked it a lot. Product Type: Face Mask Core Concern: Purifying effect on skin. Price: 250INR (On OFF...

KONAD AROMA RELAXING HAND MASK

Image
Just a try and worth a try !Ordered this Konad Aroma Therapy Hand Mask from an on-line store along with my other stuff which I would be reviewing later.This is the first of its kind that I used and am pleased but not too pleased .For extremely dry hands like mine ,they are an O.K product,but people with normal skin might be just so lucky to instantly revive their hands to magical soft ones. Product Type: Ready to Use Hand Mask. Core Concern: Ready to use , aroma mask. Price: 170 Rs for one pair /pack.

ORIFLAME PERFECT BLUSH REVIEW

Image
Its always been confusing !Buying blush , the right shade , the right tone , the correct finish ...can be exhausting especially for Indian women who are not so "blush" types.Even I was apprehensive about using a blush , but after a lot of trail and error , for the look I want I realised I need a shimmer free , matte blush.I mean to start with :P But what shade??I searched for matte free blush in many brands;not many and again not the right shade that would blend to look healthy and natural. Finally I after a lot of thinking I picked the Perfect Blush in Fresh Pink by Oriflame. Product Type: Face Blush Core Concern: Matte Effect Blush Price: 498 Rs (full price ) ORIFLAME PERFECT BLUSH IN FRESH PINK by ORIFLAME   SWATCH This is the perfect blush to start with ,especially for a healthy glowing look ,this one is for you .Looks good on fair to medium skin tones.So this one places itself in those long list of "must haves".Its truly matte , no shimmer at all , the compared...

HOME MADE PACK FOR PIGMENTATION

NUTMEG AND SANDALWOOD PACK for HYPER PIGMENTATION Pigmentation is a huge problem now a days .And am amazed to see them on every other face part from mine.There are a lot of artificial / chemical methods that claim to reduce and gradually reduce the spots , but most are ineffective and may pose even bigger problems which I would deal in an different post later.One Ayurvedic recipe that would help fade these spots slowly but effectively is the nutmeg and sandalwood pack. You will need the following: 1.Whole nutmeg 2.Unboiled milk 3.Pure Sandalwood powder or stick. Nutmeg is a spice and you get it as a whole which needs to be ground against any coarse surface along with milk and slowly you would find a very fine paste.About  a teaspoon of this should be enough to be used once.Now keep this aside. Take a little less than a teaspoon of pure sandalwood powder and mix it with the above set aside paste.Or you can take a small block of sandalwood ,ground on to a clean coarse ...

CLINIQUE dramatically different moisturising lotion Review

Lotions ,potions ,those magical creams ,am always trying!This time it was the'' "'Genius"'which Clinique sells every 3.5 Seconds".I was flabbergasted and immediately got one.According to Clinique my skin is Very Dry to Dry Combination Skin  and this moisturiser is the STEP 3 product.Among what Clinique suggests for a healthy skin.Step 1 to cleanse , Step 2 to Exfoliate and step 3 to moisturise. Though I did not try the entire range because I am in love with my other face cleanser which I have  and do not want to experiment with it until some time. Product Type :Facial Moisturiser Core Concern: Dry to Very Dry Skin Moisturiser Price:4500 My first thoughts with this product was a very positive one but as I started using this product , I realised it was not one for my kind of skin which is very thirsty for a moisturiser.It may be good for those who develop dry skin with onset of winters .Certainly not for me who vouches by a cream even in humid summers as in...

LUSH HENNA (CACA NOIR)

Image
Lush , Hand made cosmetics , everyone is talking about it! I wanted to try something from LUSH and what caught my attention was the HENNA( CACA NOIR ) which says it has pure henna and the rare exotic Indigo dye .and super excited ,I ordered it online along with other stuff.I have some greys and I do not prefer to use hair colour ,though many parlours/beauticians recommend hair colour to henna ;the later one they say dries the hair.But that is not true.Coming back Indigo dye gives off dark blue /black tints and the moment I say that Lush Henna had this component I picked it to my cart. Product type: Henna /Natural Hair Colour. Core Concern: Natural Blue /Black Hair Colour. Price: 1020 Rs for 6 blocks i.e 330 gms. Instructions/Claims: Its says that the blocks should be broken in a heat proof bowl and mixed to a yoghurt like consistency with hot water and be used.Wrap in a shower cap for deep red tints or just leave for blue /black tin...
