Lotus Herbals YOUTHRx Youth Activating Serum + Crème Review

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing one of my favourite products from the Lotus Herbals YouthRx Range, the Serum + Creme.

It contains the highest concentration of the revolutionary ‘Gineplex Youth Compound’ which gives it 10 times the anti-ageing power of a day crème. It’s a 2-in-1 formula of Serum + Crème –

1. Serum penetrates the skin quickly and delivers 10X* more ‘GINEPLEX YOUTH COMPOUND’ to the dermal layer, boosting collagen production.

2. Crème nourishes, hydrates and restores skin moisture.

MRP: Rs.695/- for 30ml

Directions:

Ingredients:

One of my most favourite product from this range. It comes in a very thick glass bottle with a cap and a pump dispensor. Again a mix of gel+cream consistency. It is very light and gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy. I just need one pump and it hydrates and nourishes the skin. I can even skip a cream post using this, coz it hydrates wonderfully even in these winters. Skin feels soft and smooth instantly.

It smells really nice and the packaging is quite good. The bottle is sturdy and perfect for travel too. I only carry this when I am going to my parents’ place for 1-2 days as it solves the purpose of both a serum and a moisturizer.

Skin feels soft and supple immediately, it hydrates the skin but does not leave a heavy, greasy feeling. You can use only this in summers, for winters, I would suggest following up with the Day Cream from the same range.

I love the Ginseng, Ginger, Milk Peptide i.e. GinePlex ingredients, you can feel it working on the skin. It is definitely soothing, I can’t really comment on lifting but skin does feel firmer with regular usage.

It is not just meant for 30+ or anti-ageing, I would recommend it to everyone in mid 20’s too, I am in my late 20’s and definitely loving it.

Even though it is slightly on the expensive side, but the ingredients are impressive and it definitely works. Also a little goes a long way.

Lotus Herbals EcoStay Long Lasting Lip Colour Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing four shades out of the 10 new shades launches in the Lotus Herbals Ecostay Long Lasting Lip Colour Range.

What the Company claims: Lip colour is a preservative free, natural, long lasting and hydrating lip colour. One swip and your lips are ready for a healthier shine all day long without any loss of moisture, ensuring a flawless finish. SPF 20 gives UV Protection

How to use : Outline your lips with the lipliner.Hold the tube of lipstick to your lips and carefully apply it within the lines you drew with your lipliner. Start from the center of your lips and brush the lipstick outward, filling in all the gaps. ﾕFor a more precise application, use a lipstick brush. ﾕIf you go outside the lines of your lipliner, wipe the excess lipstick away with a tissue. ﾕLook in the mirror to make sure that you’re filling in the lines correctly. Applying lipstick without a mirror can lead to silly consequences.

MRP: Rs.545/- for 4.2g

These lipsticks come in a beautiful and sleek metallic pink packaging, which looks rose gold in sunlight. I absolutely love the packaging, also the lipstick click shut and are travel friendly.

They have this round bullet as in long, slender packaging lipsticks and the Lotus Herbals logo on top of the lipstick.

I am reviewing the shades Orange Lush, Rose Rush, Flirty Pink and Pink Pop.

They are a little dry in formulation and not the creamy kinds, also you need to go over the lips 2-3 times for a proper, opaque coverage. But once set, they do not budge for hours. They have a matte finish and stay for about 6-7 hours, they are not completely transfer proof but do not transfer much. They do fade a bit from the center post a complete meal though.

L-R: Orange Lush, Rose Rush, Flirty Pink and Pink Pop

They do not feel heavy on the lips and also lips do not feel dry or uncomfortable. Lighter colors are less pigmented and also go a bit patchy and accentuates dry lips. When I swatched all 5-6 lipsticks together, lips were a little dry and the lighter colors accentuated that. As you can see in the lip swatches below, Orange Lush and Flirty Pink are lighter and look a little patchy and accentuates the dryness on lips.

L-R: Orange Lush, Rose Rush
L-R: Flirty Pink and Pink Pop

Orange Lush is a true warm orange shade.

Rose Rush is a pink based red.

Flirty Pink is a peachy pink shade.

Pink Pop is a rosy pink, my most favourite shade of the lot.

L-R: Orange Lush, Rose Rush, Flirty Pink and Pink Pop

The SPF of 20 is an added benefit. They are natural and organic and without any parabens or preservatives. The pricing is also decent for the quantity of 4.2g and the packaging.

Clockwise left to right: Orange Lush, Rose Rush, Flirty Pink and Pink Pop

Overall I would say, I like the packaging, price point, staying power, for the desired pigmentation you do need to go over with a few swipes. Lighter colors are less pigmented and go a bit patchy, but the darker shades i.e. Rose Rush and Pink Pop went smoother. I recommend the darker shades in this range, Pink Pop is a must try.

Lotus Herbals Xpress Glow 10 in 1 Daily Beauty Creme SPF 25 Review, Swatches, FOTD

What the Company claims: It is the ultimate hydrating treatment based crème with gives a semi matte flawless finish and keeps skin hydrated for long. 10 benefits * Covers Pimples spot * Hides imperfections * Gives even tone * No clogging of Pores * Covers blemishes and dark spots * Instant beautifier * Buildable coverage * Brightening primer * Moisturizes and Hydrates * SPF 25

MRP: Rs.299/- for 30g

Shades Available: 2

  • Royal Pearl–  Fair to Medium
  • Bright Angel– Medium to Dark

It comes in this pink tube packaging with silver cap and has a nozzle dispensor. The packaging is quite bright and nice, convenient to use and travel friendly.

I have the shade Bright Angel which is the one for medium skin tones. It is nothing but a tinted moisturizer i.e. the blend of skincare plus some makeup. And has SPF25 too.

It is quite rich and needs to be set with a compact powder. Skin gets oily within an hour or so, I would not recommend it for oily skin or for use in summers.

Coverage is ok, it only evens out the skin tone and reduces the redness. It does brighten the skin a but, but does not cover dark circles or any acne spots. It stays for a good 5-6 hours but does need touch up with a compact powder. But it sure is quite moisturizing and skin doesn’t feel tight even in winters for a good few hours.

As you can see in my ‘Before-After’ pic here, it only evened out the skin and brightened it a bit, did not cover any marks or dark circles. This is just using the cream and I haven’t use any compact or anything else here.

Before – After

Only 2 shades are available in this, but thankfully both are warm and yellow and will work for majority skin tones. It does oxidize a bit on the face after 2-3 hours, that might be coz of the sunscreen.

It has licorice and aloe vera extracts. Licorice is anti-inflammatory, helps in reducing redness of the skin, helps absorb ingredients better and also helps in lightening the skin. Aloe vera of course has numerous benefits, key being hydrating, moisturizing, anti-bacterial. Not a fan of licorice coz of it lightening the skin.

Pricing is ok, it’s the same as other BB/CC creams in the market and almost the same qty. Only active ingredients are mentioned on the pack, they should have mentioned a list of all ingredients for people to know what exact skincare benefit they are getting. Except licorice and aloe vera, nothing has been mentioned.

Overall I would say, if you do not have problematic skin and only need something for daily use which can provide sun protection and even out skin tone, you can try this out.
