It comes in a fat round glass jar with a white tin cap..brimming with the product…the first whiff of it..and you smell algae and citrus and sugar and sea salt and the essential oils..a complete blend of all exotic stuff..

The sugar granules and sea salt help in exfoliation while all the essential oils moisturise the skin at the same time..and the aroma makes you feel like you are in a spa..it leaves skin baby butt like super soft..and helps with ingrown and all issues coz exfoliates the skin and gets rid of the dead skin cells..

Pros:

1. Smells amazing. (read yummy)
2. Perfect ingredients.
3. Makes skin super soft.
4. Helps exfoliate skin and gets rid of ingrowths..
5. Amazing blend of essential oils moisturise and smoothen the exfoliated skin.
6. Does not feel very harsh.
7. 250g is a good qty..but how long it can be used depends on how much you use every time.
8. Organic and without harsh chemicals.

Cons:

1. Super expensive.
2. Available only online..on flipkart and some other sites.

Overall I do love it..and the spa like experience it gives..and the baby soft smooth skin it leaves one with..but Thalgo sure is a luxury..this can be made at home with sugar, sea salts and essential oils…though you won’t get the exact same thing..I would recommend it if you feel like indulging yourself in some luxury..well don’t we all need some pampering at times ? 😉

Rating:

Quality: 4.25/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: May be..if I feel like indulging in some luxury..lasts more than a single spa session obviously..

Have you tried anything from Thalgo ?

Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream Review, Swatches

I have been so caught up with everything..the backlog of posts is like ever increasing..I am too late in posting this Vital Orange BB Cream Review..but better late than never..so lets start..Super Plus Triple Functions BB Vital Cream

MRP: $ 31.00 for 40g

What the Company claims: Upgraded Sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection SPF50. Strengthen’s skin NMF and maintain balanced skin condition. Osmopur-N and Vital-V Complex soothe and protect skin from harmful environments for a moisturized, healthy skin.

Ingredients:

It comes in the same round chubby tub with pump packaging as the Hot Pink one..it does not have a grey undertone like the Hot Pink but is definitely quite light ! This is more suitable for pale skin..

Check out Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream Review HERE and Skin79 BB Cleanser Review HERE

This gives completely matte finish unlike the Hot Pink which is a little dewy..this would suit oily skin..stays for a good 6-7 hours..and you just need a tiny amount..it gives medium to full coverage and is buildable..I like the fact that it offers SPF50 protection.

Pros:

1. Gives medium to full coverage.
2. Ideal for oily skin as gives a matte finish..and there is no need for touch ups atleast for 4-5 hours..
3. Has SPF50 protection.
4. It claims to maintain a balanced skin condition and soothe and protect skin…well I am not sure of that..but this feels quite light on the skin..and you do not feel as if you are wearing anything..does feel natural..only if there were more suitable shades 🙁
5. Would last a real long time as you need just a tiny bit.
6. Has many good ingredients like extracts of rosemary, chamomile, grapefruit, aloe vera and rice bran oil, soybean oil, rosemary oil,etc
7. Cute packaging and easy to use pump dispensor.

Cons:

1. Too pale for our skin tones..this does not work with blending too..i.e the difference is too obvious.
2. May not suit dry skin.
3. Has parabens.

Overall I love the packaging of these Skin79 BB Creams and how this one gives a good enough coverage and has SPF50..this feels quite light on the skin too..only had it been available in more shades..it would have been a super winner..

If you are pale and have oily skin, grab this now !
