PATANJALI STRAWBERRY LIP BALM REVIEW

By Simli

Hi guys!

Its November, winter is almost here. Our skin is drying and our body has started losing moisturiser already.

Apart from our skin drying we also start having chapped lips. Recently I went to a local cosmetics shop for buying lip balms for the coming winter, there I noticed apart from other well-known non herbal brands which are known for their lip balms Patanjali also has its lip balm. I bought this strawberry one, thinking why not give it a try and it also doesn’t cost much.

I am using it for a while now and let’s see how it fares..

I like to carry it around with me and apply whenever I feel my lips are drying. So today I’ll review it which you already know from the caption above. Lets start.

Packaging:

The packaging of this product is unlike the other lip balms. It is not like that of a lipstick type rather it is in a tube form with a slanted tip, from which the product comes out on squeezing. The portion from which the product comes out is not straight but rather its slanting like a new lipstick which makes it easy for applying as there is no wastage of the product. The tube has a red screw cap which means that the product wont come out if we don’t open the cap , also it doesn’t comes out on its on if we don’t squeeze the tube.

Texture and colour:

The texture of the product is perfect like it should be. It is creamy but not too thick. The colour of the product is very light pink with shimmers. On applying the product the product you’ll notice very light tint of pink on your lips , which is almost invisible.

Price: Rs 25 for 10 grams.

Ingredients: Every 10 gram contains:

Butyrospermum parkii 500mg

Olea europea 100mg

Prunus amygdalus 100mg

Triticum sativum 100mg

Symplocos racemosa 10mg

Rubia cordifolia 10mg

Cow’s milk fat 10mg

The base material: Natural waxes , vit E , sugandhit dravya.

How to use: Apply on craked lips twice a day. Also you can apply before going to bed, as I do.

Usage: Useful in dryness, roughness and rehydrates lip moisture.

My experience:

Lip balms are very essential for winters, we all know this so I use lip balms everyday. I use lip balm before applying lipstick. I also use lip balm before going to bed at night.

Now, I have been using this lip balm for a week now and I’m quite satisfied with its result. For something costing only Rs 25 honestly I wasn’t expecting too much. But it showed good results and now I have no cracked lips.

I love its fruity smell, its very mild. The portion from which the product comes out makes it very convenient for applications. After applying the lip balm on my lips, I can feel my lips becoming softer. It doesn’t have any colour which is actually good I think because it makes it the perfect lip balm to be applied before lipstick. I sleep with this lip balm on my lips and it feels like I don’t have anything on my lips at all , it is so so so light weight.

The only problem I found after using this product is that it doesn’t stays on your lips for long even if you don’t anything thing which is very disappointing. You have to reapply it again and again after like an hour.

This is because of the not so very thick consistency of the lip balm, I think so. But apart from this it is a good product for people who doesn’t want to invest more in daily use, non pigmented lip balm.

Pros:

  • Value for money product.
  • Good fruity smell.
  • Availability.
  • Easy application.

Cons:

  • It doesn’t stay for long

Rating: 4/5

Editor’s Note: I believe it is quite good for the price, would give it a try.

DIY: Get Instant Soft & Glowing Skin for Weddings/Parties, etc | Remove Sun Tan

Hi guys,

Today I am sharing this quick DIY that I often do before special occasions for that soft and glowing skin!

All you need is a ripe banana, lemon juice and honey.

Take half a ripe banana and mash it really well with a fork, add 1 tsp. honey and 1 tsp. lemon juice and mix it really well.

Apply a thick layer of it all over your face and keep it on for 10 minutes. Wash off with normal water and pat dry.

You will see instant glowing skin!

Let me tell how and why it works..

Bananas are high in vitamin A, B, E and are a good source of potassium, zinc, iron and manganese. They are good for dry and oily skin alike. They are ultra moistuzing and instantly soften the most dehydrated skin. They are also rich in B vitamins and zinc which help to fight free radicals and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C in bananas may also help improve the appearance of dark spots and acne.

Lemon is rich in Vitamin C and citric acid and is full of antioxidants. It helps fade acne scars & blemishes and gives an even skin tone and brighter looking skin. It controls oil and shine to an extent and being anti bacterial also works on acne and blackheads. It also acts as a gentle exfoliator on dead skin cells.

Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air into the skin and ensures it’s retained it in the layers for penetrating, long-lasting hydration. It is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, hence helos in calming redness and acne, and also helps to decrease the appearances of scars and increase healing and tissue regeneration

That’s it! Super quick and easy. I hope you like this DIY and try it. Do let me know how it works in the comments below 🙂

Maybelline V Face Duo Stick, Duo Powder: Honest Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

So as you all know, Maybelline has launched three new products in their Contouring Range recently. I have two of them i.e. the duo stick and duo powder. There is a third product called Blush Contour.

I have been using these since a few days and here are my thoughts..

Let’s start with the V Face Duo Stick

What the Company claims:

Master the perfect V-shaped face in an easy 2 step glide
All-in-one contouring duo stick creates illusion of structure and lift
Creamy formula glides and blends easily
For best results, use with the V-Face duo powder

Shades Available: 2

  • Light to Medium
  • Medium to Dark

MRP: Rs.650/- 

It comes in a two sided stick form, where one side is the matte creamy contour and the other side is slightly shimmery white cream highlight.

I have the V Face Duo Stick in Medium, I believe it’s the Medium to Dark as the first option would be named ‘Light’

I love how creamy and easy to blend the product is, it can be easily blended with fingers. So if you are travelling and are not carrying brushes, you can still use this comfortably.

The contour is brown based and warm which is good for daily use. For a very chiseled look and actual contouring, you need a grey cool toned powder as only that would create a shadow. But using a darker product also defines the face and brings some sharpness to the features which get all washed out when you apply a foundation and the face looks flat.

I absolutely love the highlight part, it gives a soft candlelit glow to the face. It is perfect for those who do not like a bright highlight, this is subtle and nice. I like to use this a base for my powder highlight and it makes my powder highlighters shine bright like a diamond!

For everyday basis, I will go with only this highlight and not layer. I also use this for inner corners of eyes, brow bone and on the bridge of the nose and cupid’s bow.

I have seen both the shades and the light one is not dark enough for contouring and this dark one is good for fair to medium skin tones, so basically the medium to darker skin tones do not have an option as this won’t show up on them. This will their exact color and not a darker color which is needed for contouring.

Maybelline should have launched at least three shades and a shade darker than this for deeper skin tones.

Coming to the V Face Duo Powder..

What the Company claims:

Brush on a 10 percent slimmer V face by design
Duo finishing powder to highlight and contour
SPF32 PA+++ and perlite minerals
Available in 2 shades for light to medium and medium to dark skin tone
Suitable for any face types like square, round or heart shaped faces

For contouring, create depth by using a 2 shade darker product.For highlighting, use 2 shades brighter than your skin tone.

Shades Available: 2

  • Light to Medium
  • Medium to Dark

MRP: Rs.500/- for 8.5g (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

The powder comes in a V form where you get a lighter powder to set the face and highlight the concealer, below contour, etc. and the darker powder to contour or set the duo stick contour.

It has a mirror and a brush in the lower compartment, the packaging is very similar to the L’Oreal Paris Mat Magique Powder.

When used alone, this powder hardly shows up or contours. It is not pigmented enough for contouring, you have to layer it a few times. I have it in the shade Light Medium, I believe I will have to try Medium Dark

It works well with the V Face Duo Stick, like the powder to set the cream, and shows up that way.

The powder is very silky and fine, very smooth to touch and feels creamy. Again I love the lighter powder side, which is perfect to set the under eye area. Still I would have liked it to be more pigmented.

Again the shade selection is poor, only two shades and both are not dark enough.

I have used both the products here..

As you can see, it is very subtle definition, good for everyday.

Overall, I would say Maybelline launched some good products but as usual the shade selection is poor and not meant for Indian skin tones. Two shades which are both not dark enough to contour Indian skin.

I have read better reviews about the blush duo though, especially the blush part.

I would only recommend the V Face Duo Stick, that too in Medium to Dark and if you are fair to medium in skin tone.

Have you tried the new Maybelline V Face Duo Range? Your thoughts?

PATANJALI SAUNDARYA ALOE VERA GEL REVIEW

By Simli

Hi lovelies!

Aloe vera gel has almost become part of our life. Almost everyone in our beauty regime include aloe vera gel in one or the other way. Patanjali is well known for its aloe vera gel (read review HERE) and recently they introduced a new product in there beauty range. The new product can be called as a updated version of their previous aloe vera gel.

Like their previous aloe vera gel this has also become an essential part of my daily skin care routine. Apart from aloe vera which is the key ingredient it also contains kesar chandan which is well known for its skin brightening property. I have been using this product for almost a month now and I’m quite satisfied with its results.

Packaging:

The packaging of this product is quite similar to the previous patanjali aloe vera gel. It comes in a plastic tube with flip open cap which makes it travel friendly. The cap doesn’t opens on its own, its quite hard. The plastic tube is transparent but it has golden print on it. On the body of the product its written that it contains kesar and chandan. On the lower portion of the packaging the uses are mentioned and it says that it is a instant solution for pimples , wrinkles and glowing skin.

Price : Rs 50 for 60 ml.

Ingredients: It says that every 5g contains:

Aloe barbadensis – 89.00%

Crocus sativus (saffron)– 0.01%

Santalum album (sandalwood)– 0.10%

The base material : Vitamin E, permitted colour and sugandhit dravya.

Texture:

The texture of the gel is perfect, not too runny not too thick. But it is somewhat less thicker than the previous aloe vera gel by patanjali. The colour is golden-yellow. Apt for application and its very much cooling.

Uses:

Useful in roughness and dryness of skin, it helps to remove pigmentation , dark spots and increase skin glow.

How to use it: The product also comes with three different ways of using it (all the ways are mentioned in hindi):

1. Apply on face and keep it overnight , next morning wash your face with lukewarm water.

2. Apply on face 30 minutes before bathing.

3. Apply on blemishes leave for 5 minutes and then wash off.

My experience:

I have always a huge fan of aloe vera gel because of its cooling effect This new product have already become a part of my daily skin care routine as mentioned earlier. I use this everyday before going to bed and after washing my face with face wash. The consistency of this product is very good , its actually the consistency that I prefer personally in any gel. Its neither too runny nor too sticky or too thick. It glides onto my skin very smoothly.

The colour of the gel is yellowish. It has a strong kesar fragrance which I kinda like, sensitive nose may find it very strong and dislike. After applying this gel it gives the same cooling sensation like any other aloe vera gel. It doesn’t feels heavy on my skin too. It takes very little time to dry up and after drying it gives a warm glow. Though the glow doesn’t lasts longer. I have few blemishes on my skin but this product did no good with them.

As the gel is very light it is not fit for the coming winter and can’t be used as a moisturizer . It can be used as a base for makeup too. It isn’t sticky at all and its one the reason I like about this product very much.

Saffron works on lightening the scars & blemishes and sandalwood calms and soothes the skin and gives a natural glow.

In all it is a good product for daily use in summers. Can be used as a base regularly. As it is a herbal formula it will not do any harm to your skin.

Pros:

  • Good for regular use.
  • Easily available in any patanjali store.
  • Value for money.
  • Good consistency.
  • Has saffron and sandalwood which works even better on blemishes with regular use & are cooling on the skin.

Cons:

  • Very strong smell.
  • Has parabens

Rating: 4.5/5

Editor’s Note: I recently got the regular Patanjali Gel, definitely trying this once I am done with the current one.

Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash Review #BreakUpWithPimples

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing a product which would help every teenage/college girl out there. Actually anyone who suffers from those unexpected zits/pimples, but that happens a lot during teens, so this one is especially for them.

What it claims: Neem and Lemon work together to give you a much needed breakup from acne!

For: Those who are stuck in an unhealthy relationship with acne or pimples.

How it works: CLEAN & CLEAR® PIMPLE CLEARING Face Wash is a gentle yet effective way to cleanly breakup with your pimples. This ensures that you and pimples never get back together. The neem-lemon formula works well on skin prone to pimples, and within 7 days, will set you on the path to a far healthier relationship with clear skin!

Directions: Apply a small amount on wet palm and work into a rich lather. Gently massage onto face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use twice daily for skin that’s beautifully clean and clear!

Ingredients: Water, Triethanolamine, Glycerin, Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose, Fragrance, o-Cymen-5-ol (Isopropyl Methyl Phenol), Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT), Benzophenone 4, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf extract, Passiflora Edulis Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Alcohol Denat., Azadirachta Indica Leaf Extract (Neem), Yellow 10 (CI47005), CI 61570

MRP: Rs.55/- for 40g, Rs.99/- for 80g (Buy HERE)

It comes in a ombre green tube packaging with a slight curve at one end. It has a flip cap and is quite easy to use and travel with. The neem and lemon symbol and the bright green color of the tube make it quite attractive and easy to identify among other tubes.

It is transparent and gel like in color with a green tinge, neither thick nor runny. It has a refreshing smell, a mix of neem and lemon but not too herbal.

It foams pretty well and removes the basic dirt, grime and makeup. Also it does not dry out the skin or leave the skin stretchy craving for a moisturizer.

We all face those occasional nasty zits that come uninvited, especially during that time of the month and spoil a big event or a special day! Pimples are basically like bad boyfriends and we need to break up with them and come out of that bad relationship. Been there, done that. We cannot avoid stepping out or travelling which comes with dirt and pollution and it’s share of harmful effect on the skin, major being pimples.

But we can definitely keep them at bay and get a clean break up from them using the right products. Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash is one such product and I am so glad I got to try this. I was getting 1-2 small zits on the sides of my nose and I didn’t want them to spoil my Diwali. Within 1-2 days of using this face wash, those zits dried up completely!

Lemon & Neem extracts work on the pimple from the very first wash & fights the core of the pimple problem i.e. the bacteria causing the pimples! Neem is anti-bacterial and it works directly on the bacteria, so that the pimple dries up and also doesn’t spread around. Lemon also helps with acne scars, so that the nasty zits do not leave any marks. Aloe vera extracts moisturize the skin and don’t allow the product to be too harsh on the skin. It also has passion fruit extracts and glycerin which again act as a moisturizer.

I am using this daily and would continue doing so, it’s very gentle for daily use and teenage skin. This product is perfect for teenage girls. Highly recommended.

So go ahead and #BreakUpWithPimples! Thank me later 😀

November 2016 Fab Bag Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

I got the November Fab Bag yesterday late night, so I unboxed it today.

This month’s theme is ‘Ready Set Glow’. It’s a red colored pouch, I was expecting the bag to be of better quality, the paint had worn off from certain sides. Also it’s very basic and nothing fancy for the festive season which usually Fab Bag has.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

Products I got:

  • Just Herbs Aloe Vera Facial Massage Gel 50g- Rs.445/- for 100g
  • City Color Be Matte Lipstick in Phoebe- Rs.500
  • VedaEarth Under Eye Oil- Rs.275/- for 7ml
  • Natural Bath & Body Sweet Ocean Body Mist 50ml- Rs.325 for 100ml

I love each and every product in this month’s Fab Bag. I had an option to choose one makeup product and I went with the City Color Lipstick in Phoebe. I saw the swatches online and even read the review. It’s a beautiful shade and a very comfortable matte formula.

Phoebe is a pretty, mauve pink shade.

Veda Earth Under Eye oil has saffron, vetiver and lotus extracts. I have major dark circles currently and this sounds absolutely perfect. It comes in a roll on form, making it easy to use and carry along.

Just Herbs Aloe Vera Massage Gel has cucumber and soy lecithin. It smells herbal, but pretty decent. Aloe Vera Gels are amazing anytime of the year and for all skin types.

Natural Bath & Body Mist in Sweet Ocean is absolutely amazing, it reminds me of my favourite Davidoff Cool Water. I am all about aqua scents and this one is fabulous. Perfect for my handbag!

Though not happy with the outer bag, I am loving every product in this month’s bag. Totally recommend it!

Total value of the products in this month’s bag comes to around Rs.1050-75.

What did you get in your November Fab Bag?

How To Use A Shine Spray Serum

Hi guys,

Today I am talking about a shine spray serum and I have also created this easy 2 minute everyday hairstyle and shown how I’ve used this spray-on serum.

I am using the BBLUNT Spotlight Hair Polish for Instant Shine.

What it claims: This lightweight heavyweight gives even the dullest hair a glossy, smooth finish. It’s about maximum shine with minimum fuss. Step into the spotlight.

We ensure that you’ll never find a dull moment! This hair polish gives your hair all the gloss it needs to get its shine back. Let your hair shine and get ready to step into the spotlight, healthy shine guaranteed.

  • Dull and lifeless hair get instant shine, with a glossy and smooth finish
  • Provides protection and reinforcement against pollutants and adverse Indian weather
  • Provitamin B5, vitamin E and silk proteins specially created for Indian hair
  • Protects from the environment and heat styling damage
  • Specially created for Indian hair with a unique colour protect formula

3 reasons to have it in your bag:

Own that gloss, like a boss – anytime, anywhere

Instantly sets your hair in place – holds any hairstyle firmly!

First ever spray-on serum – you don’t have to get your hands greasy, just spray it!

How to use?

To say hello to maximum shine with minimum fuss, all you have to do is shake, spray & step into the spotlight. Use it after ironing your hair for best results so that you get that sleek finished look. Remember to use it on dry hair always.

MRP: Rs.550/- for 150ml (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

It comes in a bright blue spray can packaging with a transparent cap.

I like the fact that all BBLUNT products are colour safe and have been made especially for Indian hair. This product is to be used only on dry hair and at the end of the hairstyle. Also make sure you do not use it on the roots.

It gives a sleek, glossy look and high shine to the hair. No frizziness, no dryness. Dry hair usually appears dull and lacks shine. When you straighten your hair or create a particular hairstyle, you would want frizz free, shiny hair. That is when this shine spray serum comes handy.

It is very economical and travel friendly too. I love the mini versions of BBLUNT products and this Spotlight Hair Polish also comes in a mini version, which is perfect to keep in your bag and travel with.

I created this 2 minute half-bun or ‘hun’ hairstyle which is perfect for college.

I washed my hair with the BBLUNT Perfect Balance Shampoo and Conditioner the previous day. Take the top half of your hair and secure it with a band, just like a half pony.

Twist the pony and wrap it around itself into a bun. Secure with a few bobby pins and gently tug to create more volume. Keep some strands of the hair ahead.

Finish with the BBLUNT Spotlight Hair Polish.

And we are done.

Easy, peasy and quick, the shine spray serum helps give the hair a glossy look and tames the flyaways and baby hair.

Do you like this hairstyle? Have you tried the shine spray serum?

I always mix a few different oils when I have to oil my hair. This was a readymade mix of 9 different oils including Emu oil which is the main oil here for hair growth.

I tested this product for a long time, coz I definitely saw results in 2-3 uses in terms of softness and shine, and after one month use, saw some difference in my hair fall too. It was reduced to a great extent. But in terms of hair growth, the growing phase takes time and hence I am reviewing it now after 3 months.

It comes in this small plastic bottle with a white flip cap packaging. The oil is not very runny or thin, but neither too goopy or thick. It’s the perfect consistency and easy to use. Also the flip cap shuts tight and it doesn’t leak.

I love how each oil has a different benefit and a blend of all is giving all the benefits together. That makes this oil a blend of a lot of different vitamins and nutrients and you don’t need anything else additionally when using this.

It also helps in dandruff and greying of hair, along with hair fall and promoting hair growth. I usually suffer from dandruff in the Dec-Jan winter period coz of dry scalp and dryness in general. I have already seen some difference in my dandruff with this, I am pretty sure this will help keep the dandruff at bay this winter.

I do not have a lot of hair fall and still saw difference with this. I even made my husband try this and he saw difference in his hair fall too.

The only con would be the smell, it’s not very pleasing. But then this is 100% chemical free and only a blend of oils with no other chemicals, parabens or artificial fragrance in it. So can’t complain 😀

Also I know this is slightly on the expensive side, but some of the oils in this are expensive and not easily available. So anyway you cannot make this same blend at home and/or you will need to buy 9 different oils separately.

Since this works, the price is justifiable. And I totally recommend it! Many of you have been asking me a hair remedy or product for hair fall or promoting hair growth, look no further as we have found the perfect product here.
