JAFRA SPA MUD MASK - the unsung hero in India

Hey everyone, Today I have decided to review Jafra's two unsung heroes in India. For all those who are unaware of this brand, Jafra is an American company with its headquarter in California and has presence in around 11 countries across the globe. The company sells high end products through direct selling network (just like Amway and Avon). Jafra has removed its base from India but I really miss some of their products. So I thought of reviewing them here to pay a tribute to this wonderful brand. JAFRA MUD MASK What company says: Dead Sea mineral mud, clays, Vitamin E and antioxidants help deep clean, unclog pores, remove excess oils, impurities and dead skin cells. Use on the face and the body for the full at-home spa treatment.

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. Re

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
