The Body Shop Satsuma Body Sorbet Review

What the Company claims: Scoop an industry first with this cool body moisturiser, infused with zingy satsuma scent! Our breakthrough sorbet texture instantly melts into skin for a frosty burst of fresh moisture. Light and fast-absorbing,leaves body instantly moisturised upto 24 hours of hydration.

MRP: Rs.795/- for 200ml

How to use: Glide onto skin and enjoy the frosted moisture sensation all over your body. Insider’s tip: Put your Body Sorbet in the fridge for an even more refreshing moisture sensation

Variants available: Strawberry (Fruity), Satsuma (Citrusy), Moringa (Floral)

Ingredients:

The Body Shop launched their Body Sorbets in summers which is the apt season to launch this product. It is an industry first, i.e. no other brand has a product like ‘Body Sorbet’.

It comes in the long tube packaging with a flip cap and comes in this 200ml size only. It is slightly huge and not very travel friendly.

I have tried a lot of Strawberry products from The Body Shop and wanted to try some other variant. Moringa was not something I liked the smell of and so I went with Satsuma and I am glad! I absolutely love the citrus burst of Satsuma, it smells like ‘Fresh Orange Juice’.

I avoid heavy and rich moisturisers in summers as they make my skin feel more oily and sweaty, Body Sorbet was a savior in summers as it gave hydration was so light and refreshing that it got absorbed in a jiffy without any greasiness on the skin.

It is light peach in color and thick gel like in texture but very light and water based.

Also when it was scorching hot, I did keep it in the fridge as mentioned in the tip above, and it felt so awesome. Now since the summers have gone and it’s the monsoons, I don’t keep it in the fridge. I am still using it as in Mumbai as it is never cold and mostly summers here throughout the year except 2 months.

It is slightly on the expensive side of course as around 800 bucks is a lot for 200ml body moisturizer, but you don’t need a lot with this as it spreads well. And also it does not provide 24 hours hydration obviously. This will only work in summers and for someone with normal to oily skin.

Overall I would say, try this in summers or if you live in a hot,humid city. You will absolutely love this. I will not recommend it for people with very dry skin as this will not suffice the moisturisation your skin needs.

Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream Review

Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream Review

By Jayshree

Hello my lovely readers,

Garnier face creams are very popular these days. This is a perfect day cream for dry to normal skin. I got to know about this from my fellow bloggers and advisement, so thought of giving this a try. This Garnier product can even be used as a night cream and can be the best for chilly winters. I am using this cream for past 1 month, and let me tell you this has lived up to its claim.   Let me give you a sneak peak of Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream.

Price of Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream: Rs.150/- for 40 gm.

Product Description:
Garnier gives your skin a healthy look and gives it a glow by introducing this cream.
• Instant Whitening- The whitening property of the fairness cream brightens up your complexion.
• Sun Protection- with an SPF of 17, this fairness cream protects your skin from the sun.
• Lasting Fairness- Regular application of this cream will give you a lasting fairness.
• Glow- Get a glow on your face with White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream – SPF 17.
• Deep Skin Whitening Actives- Enriched with deep skin whitening actives, this cream removes tan and improves your complexion.

Directions to Use:
Apply this daily in the morning on a cleansed skin. Gently massage into the skin using light circular movements, moving from centre of you face outwards and from the base of your neck to the top.

My view about Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream:

I have used most of the Garnier fairness creams and face washes.  Garnier creams contain pure lemon essence that provides fairness with motorization. This cream comes in a white plastic tub that is really small and cute. This is easy to carry during your travel and unbreakable. The Garnier cream is white in colour and has thick oily consistency. This gets easily absorbed into the skin in just 2 minutes of massage. The Small tub makes it convenient to use the whole product and remove even the last cream.

This cream has SPF that makes it safe for application even when going out in the sun. This instantly brightens and whitens the face and adds a natural glow.  Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream doesn’t give good coverage for hide your scars or marks, but has helped to lighten my dark spots. This has made my skin fairer up to a tone in a month.

Pros of Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream:

• Contains SPF
• Has lemon essence.
• Shelf life of 3 years.
• Adds Glow to the skin
• Fades off Dark Spots
• Reduces Dullness
• Gives Fairness
• Moisturizes my Skin
• Softens Skin
• Gives Instant Whitening
• Gives Fresh looking skin
• Friendly packaging
• Travel friendly
• Affordable
• Easily available.

Cons of Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream:

• Adds a little greasy effect.
• Not suitable for oily skin
• Hot weather can cause melting

Will I Repurchase Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream?

Yes, I would surely be buying this Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream again. Though, I think for summer season will have to get some other cream that doesn’t get my face to become greasy.  For normal weather and normal skin beauties, this is a perfect day cream that adds glow, gives sun protection and adds fairness to the skin.

Rating for Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream: 4.0/5 (-1 for the greasiness)

Editor’s Note: I had tried the old version and that was kinda ok..this one looks better..would surely give a try..Nice review Jayshree 🙂

Pond’s Silk Cream Review

Pond’s Silk Cream Review

What the Company claims: Experience the latest nourishing treat from Pond’s! 24 hr moisturization + goodness of silk in a luxuriously light cream that moisturizes from deep within and gives you soft and smooth skin like never before.

Light non greasy formula.
Nourishing 24hr moisture lock.
Contains silk extract.

It is time to say goodbye to dull, dry skin and discover the secret to soft silky-smooth skin with the latest nourishing treat from Pond’s. Continuing its tradition of celebrating beauty by offering products that delight the senses and deliver beautiful results, Pond’s introduces the new Pond’s Silk Cream, a light luxurious non greasy formula that contains silk extracts. It prevents dryness while the 24-hour moisture lock helps to retain moisture to give you soft and silky-smooth skin.

Whether your skin is oily, normal or dry, changes in the weather can leave the skin dull, dehydrated and unbalanced. A good moisturizer not only helps in restoring the much needed moisture balance in the skin but also helps in keeping the skin soft and smooth.

The new Pond’s Silk Cream is an all year round moisturiser, suitable for all skin types that keeps the skin soft and silky-smooth all day long. Its light texture and easily absorbing non-greasy formula makes it an ideal solution for your daily moisturizing needs. The cream is also a great companion for the winter, when skin needs maximum care and nourishment.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.125/- for 100ml, Rs.80/- for 55ml and Rs.40/- for 30ml

It comes in a normal slightly round jar..has the trademark soft powder Pond’s smell..


This is super light and completely non greasy..I am not a fan of cold creams coz I do not like the heavy, greasy feel and the oil like slick they leave behind on face..

But this is soo good ! This is so perfect for oily, combination and normal skin too..Thank God Pond’s came up with something for us..otherwise it was always the rich heavy cream meant for dry skin..

It has Niancimide and Tocopheryl Acetate i.e Vitamin E (both help in healing any scars and marks and clear the skin) and Soybean and Lotus Flower oil..and also Peach and Strawberry Fruit Extracts..Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide (which act as sunscreen)

And its so economical..you can even keep it one in each bag at 40 bucks 😀 And its perfectly travel friendly.

Only issue is, it may be less moisturising for dry skin..as they need something richer..and they would have to reapply this, if using this…

But for other skin types, definitely try this ! I am sure you will like it..

This is my staple in winters..its in my bag..I use it like a hand cream, moisturiser, everything..my winter savior..I highly recommend this !!

Cosmedic Lumiday Brightening Day Lotion SPF 30++ Review

What the Company claims: Daily-use facial moisturizer significantly reduces dullness and discoloration while correcting the appearance of marks. Our proprietary Concentrated Hydroxy Complex delivers a potent mix of 4% Alpha Hydroxy Acids combined with Natural Moisturising Factors for gentle yet effective results. Broad spectrum SPF 30++ simultaneously prevents further pigmentation from occurring. Free of hydroquinone, steroids, and other irritating demelanizing agents. Hypoallergenic and Non-Comedogenic!

Directions: Apply liberally to face and neck after cleansing daily.

Key Ingredients: Concentrated Hydroxy Complex with 4% Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Natural Moisturising Factors, SPF 30++.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.450/- for 60ml

It comes in a green small rectangular shaped bottle with a white cap..has a pump dispensor..

Its a white colored medium thick lotion..smells like fevicol..takes a little time to absorb..it needs to be blended well..or else leaves a whitish cast..it does moisturise the skin..there are no dry patches..but since mine is combination skin..my T zone gets shiny within an hour..I feel this would suit dry skin more..

This gives a nice dewy finish to the skin..but does not help significantly in correcting marks..

Pros:

1. Moisturises skin really well..I loved using it in winters.
2. Gives a nice dewy finish to the skin.
3. No dry patches.
4. Has SPF 30++
5. Helps a little with spots..but nothing major.
6. Gives some brightness to the skin..there is no dullness like with a heavy moisturiser.
7. Keeps skin hydrated and moist for 6-7 hours.

Cons:

1. Needs to be blended really well..or else gives a whitish cast.
2. Smells like fevicol.
3. Did not help much with correcting spots.
4. Only available online. You can buy it HERE
5. Expensive at Rs.450/-

Overall I like it..but do not love it..it helped moisturise skin in winters..I think it is good for winters or for dry skinned people..It does give some brightness to the skin..but does not do everything it claims..a decent moisturiser.

Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less Lightening Day Cream Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less Lightening Day Cream with SPF 20 PA++ Review

Now thats a mouthful !

What the Company claims: After researching with over 20,000 genes, the Pond’s Institute identified a specific gene that significantly affects melanin production. Through this discovery, our most effective skin lightening formulation containing the revolutionary GenWhite™ formula has been created. It adapts to your unique skin to successfully lighten and even-out your complexion and prevent discolorations at the source.

What’s amazing about it is that the product works differently on each person. So, if there are areas on your skin that need extra help and contain more melanin, the formula concentrates on lightening and brightening those exact problem spots.

Sizes Available   50g         35g        25g     15g      9g
Price                Rs 249    Rs 140   Rs 80  Rs 49  Rs 10

Ingredients:

This comes in a pink and white oblong shaped tub..a trademark with Pond’s for the biggest size..since its made of glass..one has to be careful and its a little heavy too..not very travel friendly…it has a separate white lid on top which makes the rims messy always.

Its a baby pink colored thick cream with a powder like soft smell..not bothersome..now do not go by its looks..though its a thick cream, it is completely dry and mattifying..so much so that it would best work for oily combination skin..dry skin might needed added moisturisation.

Pros:

1. It does what it claims..it does lighten, brighten and even out skin tone, helps in lightening acne marks..and even helps in removing tan.
2. Completely matte and does not give that shiny greasy feeling..love that in summers.
3. Has SPF 20 PA++ protection..not enough..but something is better than nothing, right.
4. Comes in many different sizes and prices..and the other packing is not a huge glass jar..much travel friendly.

Cons:

1. Gives a whitish cast like in a high SPF sunscreen or a BB cream..its needed to be blended well..would be more so a problem for dusky skin tones.
2. Has parabens, phenoxyethanol and silicones.
3. And now time for some calculations..don’t mind I am a CA :p You get 9g of product for Rs. 10, so for Rs. 60, you can get 54g i.e 4g more than in this tub..so you pay about 4 times more just for the tub..and that goes for all increasing quantities..so its best bought in the smallest pack 😀
4. The white lid makes the rims of the tub messy every time.

Overall I did the cream and I am quite impressed with the formulation..best suited for oily to combination skin..would surely recommend this for them..dry skin may needed added moisture..and its best bought in the smallest pack.

Ingredients:

It comes in the typical Nature’s Co packaging of a tub with an inverted blue cap..it has a white cover inside..its off white in color..and has a sweet marshmallow smell. It is a part of the Atmosphere range of the Nature’s Co.

Its a little thick cream..worked well in summers..I do not use this in winters..since I prefer light lotions in summers..this would suit dry skin more.

Pros:

1. I like the Nature’s Co packaging..but the tub is an issue..dipping hands every time.

3. Its moisturises skin well..and keeps it supple and soft.

1. I find it a little heavy in summers..more suitable for dry skin.
2. Expensive.
3. The sweet marshmallow smell can be bothersome for few.

Raw Gaia MSM Beauty Spray Review

Face Mist, Serums, Skin care, , , , , , , ,
Raw Gaia MSM Beauty Spray Review

What the Company claims:  A unique moisturiser with outstanding skin regeneration properties and a heavenly aroma. Made with precious cold-pressed oils, organic floral waters & MSM, without the use of any preservatives or alcohol.

Each of the ingredients has powerful skin regeneration properties which help to nourish deeply, repair damaged & scarred tissue and give an unmistakable glow to your skin.

Ingredients: MSM Beauty cream is made with:

MSM: A nutritional form of sulphur. Adequate levels of sulphur help to promote a radiant complexion, glowing skin and mineralised hair. Sulphur is often referred to as “The beauty mineral”.

Cold-pressed, wild crafted argan oil: Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and plays a vital role in skin de-aging and wrinkle repair. Rich in essential fatty acids, it helps to revitalize and nourish the skin and is of vital importance for cell structure renewal. It is recommended for acne, stretch and chicken pox marks and certain skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Cold-pressed, organic rosehip oil: Sun exposure, environmental stresses, lifestyle and injury can all result in damage and unnecessary premature aging of the skin. Rosehip oil is the perfect antidote. This unique oil is a powerhouse of nutrients and essential fatty acids that play a vital role in the regeneration process of our skin cells and the repair of damaged tissues. Rosehip oil is a fine oil that absorbs instantly, allowing the skin to breathe, helping to reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines and pigmentation and restoring the skin’s moisture balance.

Wild crafted frankincense essential oil & floral water: Both are excellent conditioners for the skin. Frankincense is perfect for mature skin and it can improve skin structure and texture as it encourages the growth of new skin cells.

Ingredients:

MRP: £19.99 for 50ml

Suitable for all skin types

Sold in a bottle with spray atomizer

It also comes in a cream form…which is more rich and meant for dry skin..

Whats the difference between the two ?

The MSM Beauty cream and the MSM Beauty spray are basically the same. The only difference is that the cream is made from a base of cacao butter and the spray is obviously a spray and not a cream which contains no cacao butter but has argan oil and is a lot lighter than the cream.

I would make your decision based on how dry your skin is and if it is particularly dry then  the MSM Beauty cream is recommended.

Please note: During pregnancy, it is extremely important to be cautious about what you eat and put on your body. It is best to err on the side of caution and we therefore recommend avoiding all products containing essential oils during the first three months.

Ok first of all…I loved the spray bottle packaging..it is super convenient to use..and the blend of essential oils give it a very pleasant light aroma..it comes in a dark blue tinted glass bottle..as it has a blend of essential oils..and has a spray atomiser on top and a plastic cap.

I expected it to be a little lotion like…but this is completely a runny liquid..like water..and looks more like a toner..than a moisturiser..I would say its ideal for very oily skin or oily skin and summers..where we do not like the thick greasy moisturisers..but if your skin is such that it requires more moisturisation..I would suggest trying the MSM Beauty Cream and not the Spray..

Pros:

1. Love the blend of essential oils and Ingredients..
2. Though it has quite a good amount of different essential oils, it feels super light on the skin.
3. Gives a completely matte finish.
4. Love the light aroma.
5. MSM is very good to reduce or stop break outs..so it never broke me out..and those who have acne prone skin can give this a try..if it helps in reducing their acne.
6. The spray bottle packaging is very convenient..though its a glass bottle and one has to be careful with it.

Cons:

1. I did not see any much of a difference on my skin using this.
2. Expensive.
3. It takes a little time to absorb completely..since its in water form.
4. Not available here. Though they ship worldwide..you can buy it here

Overall its a nice moisturiser..especially for oily or sensitive skin or for people who suffer from redness..I liked the ingredients it has..but I did not see any much of a difference on my skin..may be it helps acne prone or sensitive skin more..but I would definitely suggest giving it a try..especially the MSM Beauty Cream for people having dry skin..if you have papery or parched skin..the MSM Beauty Cream would surely help.

Neem, a time-honoured, natural, antibacterial ingredient, helps protect skin. Almond Oil moisturizes and softens while the Oils of Mowrah, Sunflower and Pumpkin Seed help prevent skin from cracking and help maintain the skin’s moisture balance, leaving skin soft, protected and well-nourished.

MRP: Rs.70/- for 100ml

Its a thick white lotion..takes a little time to absorb and needs to be massaged into the skin..but not as thick as Garnier Body Cocoon..I do not particularly like the smell of it..it does have smell of all the oils it contains like sunflower and pumpkin..though I would not deny the fact that its quite moisturising..

Pros:

1. Its moisturising enough and my skin does not feel dry the whole day after using this.
2. Nice blend of oils in the ingredients.
3. Its economically priced.
4. The packaging is decent enough.

Cons:

1. I do no particularly like the smell of this.
