Turmeric works as an antiseptic, maintains moisture level and preserves elasticity of skin. The lemon peel extract draws out younger skin.

Active Ingredients: Extracts of wild turmeric, vitiver and lemon peel.
MRP: Rs.155/- for 80 ml
Its a normal pump bottle with a cap like all other Lotus Products mostly. Its creamy in texture and yellow in color…has a strong turmeric and lemon smell…but bearable enough. I use it as directed and it works well for me…removes all dirt and make up including most of water proof mascara too…I also liked the fact that it did not sting my eyes. It claims to be for normal to dry skin..but worked well for my combination skin too.
Pros:
1. I like the fuss free pump packaging. 2. It removes mostly all the make up including most of the water proof mascara..in 2-3 swipes. 3. I like the fact that it has turmeric and lemon as turmeric is antiseptic and healing and lemon tones the skin. 4. It does not feel too greasy or anything..I use it exactly as directed. 5. Skin feels quite supple and normal after use. 6. It did not sting my eyes like some other cleansing lotions. 7. Works for all skin types. 8. It also has wheatgerm oil,almond oil,orange oil,glycerin,beeswax, and other ingredients beneficial for the skin.
Cons:
1. Some people may not like the smell…I am ok with it. 2. Has parabens.
Overall I quite liked it…and I think its a must try..

I liked Peach Creme, Perky Peach (which is not showing coz its in the corner :p),Orchid Kiss and Cinammon.
I had reviewed the Moist Petals Lipstick here and said about their BOGO offer too..Today I got 2 more in that offer and I got other swatches too..in case you want to buy in that offer.
I got Natural Haze which is a peachy brown and Pink Petal which is exactly similar to Maybelline Colorsensational Pink Petal…it is swatched lightly coz there was no tester of it but since I bought it…the SA swatched it lightly.
Lotus Herbals Intensive Sun Block Spray SPF 50 Review
Lotus Herbals is very good with their sunscreens..I have tried two of them and loving them..I tried the Nomarks sunscreen before but it used to sweat me out..so I use to stay away from sunscreens but then I have realised the importance of sunscreens and how they are important to protect skin in the long term too..
I thought of giving the Lotus one a try..and I am so glad I did…It has SPF 50 and UVA Index 16
What the Company claims : This easy to use fine mist spray offers quick protection from UVA & UVB rays. It contains natural actives of chamomile, sage and thyme. Use on all exposed parts of the body, reapply frequently.
Directions for use : Spray directly on all exposed parts of the body (neck, arms, legs etc.) before exposure to sun. For face, spray into hand and apply to face. Re-apply frequently.
Active Ingredients: Extracts of sage as a natural sunscreen, chamomile for moisturising & thyme to protect from environmental damage.
MRP: Rs 195/- for 80 ml
Its a spray bottle…but its not a watery spray if you think so..Its a white liquid..spreads easily..and gets absorbed very fast..and is not at all greasy..it has no smell as such.
Pros:
1. Its the best sunscreen I have used till now.
2. Absorbs super easily and not at all greasy.
3. Claims to be sweat and water proof and it sure is.
4. Easy to carry and nice spray packaging.
5. Economical compared to other sunscreens.
6. Has no weird smells.
7. Did not break me out and neither sweats me out.

Lotus Herbals Floral Glam Lipsticks are made with 100% natural and botanical extracts. They come in 10 shades..I have Sensuous Mauve and Choco Chip out of it.
MRP: Rs 395/- for 4.2g
Sadly I could not find these on the Lotus site..I dont know why..
Sensuous Mauve is a very pretty warm mauve color..and Choco Chip is a nudish chocolate brown color..these are semi matte in texture. They do not have a separate top and are in twist up format.

Economical at 295/- 5. Lotus is made with natural ingredients. 6. I particularly love the Sensuous Mauve shade.
Cons:
1. Availability is a issue with Lotus Cosmetics…one can find them at Beauty Centres and Fashion Bazaars here. 2. One has to be careful in opening it as the wrong twist could damage the whole lipstick.
Overall I quite like them and they are pretty decent. You can see more swatches here

Would I buy it again: Yes I like the shade Nude Glow too…:p hehe..We can never have enough 😀
I got my Lotus Goodies today for the contest I won on Facebook. Some pretty nice things out there. They were nicely packed with thermocol pieces in between. They have sent the same things to everyone..as Mehak and Poornima also got the same things…they won it on Twitter.
I love tinted lip balms..and there is Nivea and Lotus which make good ones in India (Vaseline has come up with Rosy Glow in their tubes too..and that too at Rs.60 /- )…Nivea has the tube ones too in tinted which are Pinkish Boost, Glamorous Gloss,etc and the twisted tube one has 2 variations…the normal plain tinted i.e Star Fruit in Cherry and Strawberry and the Fruity Shine i.e the one with slight shimmer in Dragonfruit and Pomegranate. Lotus comes in a tub in the flavors i.e Lotus lip balms in Strrawberry and Orange and the twisted tube i.e Lotus lip therapy in Cherry, Chocolate, Velvetty Rose, Fresh Mint, Vanilla and Cocoa.
I have Nivea Fruity Shine in Dragonfruit and Lotus Lip Therapy in Cherry. Dragon fruit is all pink with some shimmer..which is not that visible and has a fruity smell.Lotus Cherry is less tinted but goes on a sheer red on lips.
L- Lotus cherry R- Nivea dragonfruit
Coming to Nivea What the Company claims : Nivea Fruity Shine Dragon Fruit SPF 10 Lip Balm
Do you want to explore a sensational scent and fruity shine? Experience the scent and taste of paradise! Enjoy Nivea Fruity Shine Dragonfruit leaving a touch of pinkish color on beautiful and gentle lips. This new formula combines rich almond oil, jojoba oil and shea butter to keep your lips as soft and fresh as they can be!
Pros: 1. The Tint !!! I love the tint…and no lip balm gives as much tint as these Nivea babies..and it stays on whole day. 2. Easy to carry. 3. Availability 4. These Fruity Shine ones have SPF 10 but the Star Fruit ones do not mention SPF…only say UV protection. 5. The caps are large enough..no fear of losing. 6. Not that waxy but very smooth…with the right amount of tint and shimmer.
Cons: 1. The moisturisation is very low…the lip balm goes away just as you eat or drink anything leaving the tint behind. 2. Hardly does anything for very dry or chapped lips….cant be used in winters.
Overall rating: 3.5/5
And now the Lotus What the Company claims : Rehydrates. Heals. Protects. Has SPF 15.

Has 6 flavors..and all are tinted except Chocolate which smells like chocolate but is plain and has no tint. 6. Has SPF 15. 7. No animal testing.
Cons: 1. They are waxy and not as tinted as Nivea. 2. Small caps..may tend to lose them.
