I received the Parachute Advansed Body Lotion today and I am so in awe with the packaging..that I felt like sharing it with you all..
It came in a huge box..and I was all surprised as to what can that be..and when I opened it..a huge square shaped peach box with peach bows and ribbons, was there inside..and I was like..this is so cutee !
And further inside..there were these awesome smelling set of pink floral candles, a CD “OMG! I’m in Love” with 51 love songs and all are so good..’Aicha’, ‘You’re Beautiful’, ‘Beacuse I Love You’, ‘Quit Playing Games’, ‘By Your Side’, and many more..and and chocolates ! And two variants of Parachute Advanced Body Lotion..
Perfect things to floor a girl 😉 And Valentine’s Day is still away..:D
They indeed follow their tag line ‘Jagaye Love Dobara’ in all ways possible 😉
I quite liked their ad too..have you seen it..? Evelyn Sharma is pretty !

Pros:
1. Love how pigmented these are !
2. The texture is so smooth..not chalky like.
3. Stays put the whole day without creasing.
4. All the shades have some shimmer..but the darker shades do not have fall out…the lighter ones like 02,03 which have silver shimmer may have a little fall out problem.
5. Hypoallergenic and paraben and fragrance free.
6. Can be used both wet and dry..the color comes out quite intense when wet.
7. The area where a wet brush is dipped does not change in texture as in most of the eye shadows.
8. Though the quantity is 1g, it would last a lifetime.
9. Since its a baked formula, it would have a longer shelf life.
10. These are small and handy..can be easily carried around and come with a mirror too..but they do not have a brush along.
11. I loved all the 10 shades in this range ! The colors are quiet wearable and nice.
Cons:
1. I feel these should have been priced around Rs. 350/-
2. Some lighter shades would silver shimmer might have a fall out problem.
Other than that I don’t think I found any cons..these are damn nice and definitely a must have..and if you love smokey eyes..04,05,06,07,09,10 are surely worth checking out !

What the Company claims: Paraben and Sulfate free
Clay face masks are extremely beneficial for your skin. Adding this to your skin care routine is a great way to have a problem free skin. Clay is a natural absorbent and helps remove the toxins, excess oils and dirt out of your skin pores, leaving it clean and soft. It is also a best solution for acne prone skin.
Pomelo, avocado, cucumber, aloe vera gel and white orchids legendary skin toning properties encourages older acting skin to renew its appearance. Vitamin C is well known as an anti-oxidant. This helps to deeply cleanse and refresh your skin giving a healthy looking glow.
Key Ingredients
• Pomelo
• Aloe Vera
• Vitamin C & E
• Avocado Oil
MRP: HK$150.00 for 150g (Approx Rs. 990/-)
Pomelo also known as Citrus Decumana is a South Asian fruit..little similar to grapefruit and has extremely high content of Vitamin C.

It comes in jar packaging with a normal steel cap.
Its an off white colored thick clay mask…clay content would be quiet high as its very thick..and has a very strong Vitamin C smell..which spreads around immediately on opening it.
Its important to moist the face before using it..as it would not spread otherwise. And it dries super quickly too..I generally keep it for 10-15 minutes though. It helps deep cleanse the skin and skin does feel fresh and invigorating.
Pros:
1. High clay content..it does absorb oil and keeps skin oil free for some time…good for oily and acne prone skin.
2. There are very few masks having Vitamin C as their main content..the skin generally does not get enough Vitamin C..this would help.
3. Dries very fast..so much time is not required.
4. Has Key Ingredients as Pomelo, Avocado Oil, Vitamin C and E and Aloe Vera..all good for the skin.
5. It claims to help remove toxins and dirt and deeply cleanse and refresh the skin…it does that !
6. Paraben and sulfate free.
Cons:
1. Comes in a tub packaging..not hygienic.
2. It does not bring any drastic change to the skin and the effect is temporary.
3. Expensive. 150g is too much quantity..they should sell in smaller packs and at a lesser cost.
4. Not available here.
Overall I do like it but it would not bring any major change to your skin..a decent mask which would help deep cleanse and refresh skin.

P.S: PR Info
My Experience with NaturalMantra.com
About Natural Mantra: NaturalMantra is found by Nishant Nayak..here is his story..
When our daughter was an infant, she developed eczema and the commercial lotions we tried not only didn’t work, but they were filled with chemicals that caused her to have an allergic reaction. So, we began a search for something non-toxic for our daughter’s skin.
After reading many labels and reviews, speaking with pediatricians, other moms, and scouring websites, we finally found an organic, natural solution that helped her. In the process, we educated ourselves and found that – after living in the U.S. for five years and moving back to India – there was not one website or one store that combined natural, organic and eco-friendly products. This was in direct contrast to what we experienced in the United States where we could go into most stores and find natural, organic products sitting on the shelves.
The Natural Mantra Vision
We started Natural Mantra to provide a one-stop shop for parents and eco-conscious shoppers with a wide selection of natural, organic and eco-friendly products.
Why buy natural, organic eco-friendly products when they appear to cost more than seemingly comparable products? Well, the truth is they are not in fact, comparable. Products that are healthier for you, your family and the environment reflect a level of care, research and quality that the other mass-produced products lack. Many people find the organic, eco-friendly products work more effectively and they need to use less because natural products tend to use pure, undiluted and uncontaminated ingredients. Therefore, the little extra spent on natural products turns out to be the better value.
Not only is it a better value, it is an investment in the health of your children, yourselves and the future of our planet. We believe that everyone should have access to safe, healthy, eco-friendly products. Every product you see on NaturalMantra.com is of the highest quality, natural, organic and eco-friendly at a competitive price. At NaturalMantra.com you will find some amazing earth-friendly products. More importantly, this is the comprehensive source for sustainable products that come from passionate sellers for thoughtful shoppers like you.
As a founder, I want you to ‘feel good’ not only about the products you buy but also about your complete customer experience. I would like to welcome you to experience a world of unique, organic, sustainable lifestyle products that will change the way you shop.
Yours in good health and green living and a warm welcome to a sustainable natural living..
So by now…you know what all it is about..its about eco- friendly and natural products sans any toxins, chemicals, parabens and stuff..
Here is what qualifies as ‘Natural’ for them..
They have brands like Omved, Auravedic, OGMama, Neev, Clean Planet, Rustic Art, Soulflower,etc..I got a few mails where people wanted to know where can they buy Auravedic stuff from..Now you can do that online sitting at your home 🙂
They have everything from handmade soaps to natural and chemical free skincare, clothes for yoga, recyclable totes, candles, oils, diffusers according to chakras of body,etc..I quite liked that concept of having an essential oil or candle based on the eight chakras of body.
They have Free Shipping on orders above Rs. 1000/- and a flat rate of Rs. 50/- below that. They accept all kinds of payment modes..and also have Cash on Delivery option at Rs. 20/- extra.
They generally use Aramex and like..and deliver in 1-2 days. And the products are packed well in newspapers within a huge box..
Here is what I ordered…
There was also this handwritten Thank you note by Nishant himself..which I found quiet sweet..and I also got a small tea candle as a gift..
Overall I was quite satisfied with the experience..What I feel can get better is the prices..they can offer more discounts too..
Check out the site if you generally use natural eco friendly products or you searching those for your baby.
P.S: I was offered a voucher to shop for but it has not affected my opinion.
It was divided into casual wear and sports wear..not totally sporty..but more camp and weekend kind..it does have this bifurcation generally here in India..but in the US they divide it into sports wear too.
Menswear is divided into three Fashion Groups namely Prep City, Prep Weekend and Prep Camp…the collection had casual and chic preppy chinos and denims, patterned shirts, bright lightweight sweaters, summer checked shirts, cargo, soft deconstructed blazers…with colors mostly being red,white,beige,blue,yellow,etc i.e all summery.
Womenswear was divided in the same..range having Safari dresses, slim chinos, cargo and scout shorts, modern check shirts with rolled up sleeves, striped sweaters and shorts, white denims and t-shirts and skirts in all colors.

Childrenswear was super cute too..from color blocking, all over striped/checked shirts, jumpsuits and dresses in various colors.
Some of the things I liked..
And the models posing in the new collection..

So overall the collection is casual, preppy and smart..quite liked it..I love such casual comfy wear.
