I love this silver black holographic kind pouch, it’s pretty.
Products I got:
Iba Halal Foot Massage Cream (Full size- Rs.95/- for 50g)
Natural Bath & Body Hair Mist (50ml – Rs.525/- for 100ml)
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil Roll On (15ml – Rs.460/- for 60ml)
City Color Be Matte Lipstick Lana- (Full size- Rs.500/-)
I quite liked the City Color Be Matte Lipstick last month, so this month too when I was given an option I chose the same lipstick in a different shade. This time I chose a red called ‘Lana‘. It’s a beautiful cool toned red. I love the formula of these City Color Be Matte Lipsticks, very similar to the Sugar Cosmetics It’s A Pout Time formula.
I have tried Iba Halal moisturizer before and it was pretty decent, so looking forward to try this foot massage cream. Perfect time to try the foot cream.
I love Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula products and do have this oil. I like this roll on packaging more, very handy and convenient.
And last but not the least, is the Natural Bath & Body Hair Mist. Smells really good, but I am not sure if the smell would stay through the day. Again a travel friendly bottle.
Total value of the products comes to round Rs.1000. Overall, I would say it’s an Ok bag. Not a must have, but if you would like to try these products including one makeup product of your choice, then you can give it a go.
Chances are your feet would be the most ignored parts of your body and you’d know of it already. Spare a thought for them. You wake in the morning, head to work, slog yourself all day, head back home all tired and drained and if there is a wee bit of energy left, you’d spruce up your face and neck and hit the pillow. But what about your feet? Once glance at them and in all probability, you’d throw your hands up in the air and disown them for their hideous semblance 😛 Won’t you?
Cracked feet is one woe that makes us regret not paying heed to our feet but wait, do not fret. There is still time, to turn the clock back. How? Well, Himalaya Hebals is here with its Foot care cream to allay this problem of yours. Let’s see how Himalaya Herbals Foot care cream fared for me
PRICE- Rs 95/- for 50 g
DIRECTIONS FOR USE- Wash your feet with lukewarm water and a soap-free cleanser. Pat dry. Apply Himalaya herbals foot care cream over them. Massage gently and allow it to dry. Repeat twice daily once after bathing and once before bedtime. Consult your doctor if you are a diabetic with any inflammation or irritation on your feet.
Sal Tree extract is used as an ingredient in ointments for skin diseases and in ear medicines. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties help heal cracked heels.
Honey, with its bactericidal and antiseptic properties, is extremely important in Ayurveda. Used in a variety of medicines, honey is also an effective moisturizing agent.
Turmeric has been used as an antiseptic for centuries. The herb also contains strong anti-inflammatory properties, which soothe your feet gently.
Fenugreek has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicines and is an excellent moisturizer, specially formulated to hydrate dry skin. Applied externally, the herb is also beneficial for boils, abscesses and ulcers.
Ginger is used externally as a local circulatory stimulant which keeps the feet warm, preventing the skin from cracking due to the cold.
WHAT IT CLAIMS- Himalaya’s Foot Care Cream cares for your cracked heels and rough feet with natural ingredients. Enriched with the goodness of Honey, Turmeric, Fenugreek seeds and Sal Tree extract, this cream leaves your feet feeling soft in one week.
MY EXPERIENCE-
Packed in a simple plastic tube with a cap on top, the packaging of Himalaya herbals foot care cream is simple and hygienic to use. Despite regular use, the cap did not lose its grip which is appreciable. In a nutshell, it is up to the mark in terms of packaging. Nothing to go gaga over but nothing to criticize as well!
The cream has a slightly thick texture with a pleasant (herbal) fragrance. It is not too strong or long-lasting so, those who have a sensitive nose or dislike its fragrance, need not bother. It won’t last long. The cream spreads conveniently on one’s heels and with a little massage for 5 minutes, it seeps well into the skin. One or two uses won’t throw any significant results but dedicated use for a week will render you with softened heels. My heels were a little cracked and they were ‘healed’ (pun absolutely intended) in that time frame completely. I used it twice a day- once after having a bath and once during bedtime. I am quite sure that given its efficacy, it is capable of healing heels that are much more cracked than mine. Of course those with really cracked heels, need to give it more time. You damaged it in the first place, now give it some tender love and care too
On the flip side, it has parabens so, I won’t use it after it cures my cracked heels. This is effective as a ‘remedy’ but to me, not as a permanent beauty treatment. I’d rather stick with my oil blend once my feet are cured. How thankless of me!
GOOD-
1. Does what it claims to that is, heel cracked feet.
2. Readily available
3. Economical pricing
4. Travel-friendly
5. Mild aroma which won’t exasperate those not fond of products laced with fragrance
BAD-
1. Contains parabens, so it won’t be a “long-lasting” beauty fix. At best, use it if you have cracked heels to cure them and then opt for a natural beauty fix.
RATING- 4.5/5
Editor’s Note: My mom has deep cracked heels and I will definitely suggest her this. She doesn’t use foot creams regularly, always forgets. I hope she uses this and it helps her. I also like the Oriflame one.

Our busy lifestyle leaves us with little time to take care of an important part of our body that carries us around the entire day, i.e. our feet.

Ingredients:
It has this blue jar packaging..came with a seal on top..its a thick cream with a strong neem and clove smell..
I use it at night and wear my old socks over them..it takes a few minutes to get absorbed..my feet turned a little dry and the skin became a little rough during winters..and this quite helped me in bringing them to shape..though not something magical or overnight..it does deliver. I used Oriflame Soothing Foot Cream before and quiet liked it..I like the minty smell of Oriflame one more..
Pros:
1. It does remove dryness and hardness as claimed. 2. Results are visible in 6-7 days’ time. 3. Economical. 4. Quantity is good enough..this would last long. 5. I am not sure of it being antiseptic though neem and clove oil are supposed to be..it sure is moisturising. 6. Helped mom in cracked heels too. 7. All natural ingredients..no parabens.
Cons:
1. Availability is an issue with Vedic Line..its available on Urbantouch and Good Life. 2. Jar packaging..difficult to dip hands. 3. Takes some time to get absorbed completely.
Overall I liked this foot cream..it sure is moisturising..and helped with the dryness and hardness..though not overnight..but in a few days time. If you are into foot creams..you can surely give this a try.

What the Company claims: With a unique blend of moisturisers, chamomile and primrose to soften and soothe. For best results, remove hard skin with the Footfile and massage into feet.
MRP – Rs. 198/- for 75 ml (I got it for Rs. 158/-)
It is a white colored light cream with a pleasant minty smell. I apply it at night and leave them overnight..the feet are so soft and smooth to touch the next day. I do not have cracks but my mom has..she used it and found a lot of relief in her cracked heels too.
Pros:

Economical at 198 plus there are always discounts coming up every month..I would suggest to stock it up at a discount. 4. It heals cracked heels in about a week. 5. Fulfills what it claims. 6. Tube packaging which is hygienic.
Cons:
1. Availability..as for all Oriflame products..through consultants. They do have an online option. Check out the Oriflame India site. 2. If you apply a bit too much you would feel greasy and have to wait for it to sink in. 3. It has parabens.
Overall rating- 4/5
Would I buy it again- Yes..its a very nice foot cream…and I think everyone should try it atleast once.
