Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque Review
By Pallavi
Hello Lovelies,
Here I am back with yet another skin care product. By now you might have understood that I am a big skin care junkie. I buy more and more products of skin care than makeup. Because I really believe that healthy skin is the key to beautiful skin. And in summers I love to use face packs. After a long tiring day my skin becomes so pale and tired that I need something to boost and revive my skin.
And that is the time when I am in urgent need of face packs. And this is one of those purchases – Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque.
Price: Rs. 449 for 100 ml.
Ingredients:
Directions to use: Begin by splashing some water on your face. Now, squeeze out the mask from the tube. Dilute the mask a bit with water. Spread the mask all over your face. Let it dry for some time say 15-20 minutes. Now, rinse away your face with water. You may be in need of more water for this clay based face mask. So, wash your face thoroughly.
What the brand Claims: Like the special clay masks that were a favourite with the Egyptian goddess Cleopatra, our French Red Clay mask never fails to soften your skin, preserve its complexion and impart a natural glow. It is a gentle paste of French Red Clay, which is an absolute powerhouse of iron and other minerals! Best suited for normal to oily skin types, it cleanses, detoxifies and exfoliates the skin, leaving it highly refreshed and toned. The clay is blended with Rose oil, virgin Coconut oil and the balancing Cedar wood essential oils. As the oils further nourish the skin, Turmeric powder and Sandalwood give it a distinctive radiance.
My experience with Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque:
The Packaging of Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque is very simple and travel friendly. It comes in a medium sized tube packaging which has product details written all over it. The tube has a wide cap at the top which needs to be twisted so that the face mask comes out. You need to squeeze the tube lightly. A very little product is required per usage. So, a single tube will easily last you for months.
Now, coming to the texture part. The clay based face masque is quite hard and not that easy to spread. So, you need to dilute it with water so that it spreads easily. After spreading it on face it will take some more time than the usual face masque to dry. Once it dries you can notice a clean and clear skin. You can also notice some redness around your nose area in case you have a sensitive skin.
And if you have a dry skin then you should pat some moisturiser on your face immediately after washing using this face pack. Yes, girls this face pack is a bit drying. But all clay based face masques are i believe.
Good about Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque
1. Goodness of natural ingredients
2. Travel friendly packaging
3. Price affordable
4. Little product required per usage
5. Cleanses face effectively
6. No breakouts
Bad about Natural Bath and Body French Red Clay Masque
1. Not easily available
2. Dries out your skin too much
Rating – 4/5
Editor’s Note: I love clay based face masks Pallavi, this sounds good!
Have you tried any French Red Clay Masque? Which is your favourite?
Wella EIMI Style Range Root Shoot, Dry Me, Perfect Me Review
Hi guys,
Wella has introduced few new products in their EIMI Styling Range and I have been trying them since the past few days, here are my thoughts on it.
About the Wella EIMI Range: The EIMI range has a product to suit everyone’s individual style, whether they desire a volumizing boost, wild textures, dazzling shine or a smooth and silky finish. Expressing individuality has never seen so easy. Individual style seekers can pick from 31 styling essentials including four new exciting products to create the style the best suits them – whether they want wild texture, dazzling shine, a volume boost or a smooth and sleek finish.
I love the matte grey and white cap packaging, with the EIMI written with different color on each product. The best part about this entire range is the fragrance, it smells absolutely amazing!!
NEW & HERO Dry Me dry shampoo for creating head turning volume and matte texture for any individual style. Those wanting to create some head turning volume and matte texture can try Dry Me, the new revolutionary dry shampoo.
HOLD LEVEL 2
Create volume and a manageable matte texture to achieve your look. Refresh your hair and absorb oil with this formula with Tapioca starch.
HOW TO USE: Shake me, spray me, style me. Apply evenly on dry hair, leave in and brush through.
MRP: Rs.900/- for 180ml
It’s a normal, tall spray bottle and is very easy to use. It does not leave too much of white powder residue on the scalp unlike other dry shampoos. It creates an immediate bounce and volume. I am so in love with the way it smells.
I am very lazy when it comes to washing hair and dry shampoos are a staple for me. I have tried 6-7 different brands of dry shampoos and I can easily say, this is by far the best dry shampoo I have tried!
NEW & HERO Root Shot means you are just one shot away from high precision, weightless root lift.
HOLD LEVEL 2
Perfect root lift is only a shot away with this mousse designed for precision application.
HOW TO USE: Shake, shoot, volumise. Apply on damp hair directly on the roots and blow dry as you wish.
MRP: Rs.900/- for 200ml
If your hair is straight & flat like mine and you love volume in hair, this is the product for you! Just take some mousse on your palms and apply it on your roots on damp hair and blow dry as usual. You will immediately get insane amount of volume. Trust me, you will absolutely love the results. Since I am not a person who blow dries a lot, I don’t end up using this often. I mostly prefer air drying my hair.
NEW & HERO Perfect Me – this delicate lotion adds shine, repairs, moisturises and tame fly-aways. It creates deliciously smooth hair.
HOLD LEVEL 2
Create natural style with smoothness with this delicate lotion that adds shine, repairs, moisturizes, tames flyaways and protects from the heat of styling tools.
HOW TO USE: Pamper, perfect, protect. Caress a small amount of product on mid-lengths and ends on damp or dry hair for a luxurious feel. Style as you wish.
MRP: Rs.900/- for 100ml
A BB Lotion for your hair. You must have heard about a lot of BB creams for skin, this is a BB lotion for your hair, and rightfully so. It not only gives the hair a smooth and shiny look and controls frizz, it also repairs, moisturises and works as a heat protectant. What more does one need 😀 I absolutely love it and use it every time post washing my hair. The smell stays on for a long, long time and I can’t stop smelling my hair for the entire day :p
Dry Me and Root Shoot are meant to give you volume and Perfect Me is meant to give hair a sleek and smooth finish. I use the Dry Me dry shampoo a lot, followed by the Perfect Me and Root Shoot whenever I blow dry.
My favourite from all three is obviously the Dry Me, followed by the Perfect Me :p I have clicked pictures before and after using the dry shampoo, the results are for you all to see..
This is my flat 3-4th day unwashed hair and just look at the volume I got on the crown with the dry shampoo.
Also this range is quite economically priced at INR 900. Mostly all hair styling products fall in that price category and talking about quality, I am highly impressed with this range! Highly recommended!!
EIMI is available in all Wella Professional salons. Simply ask your Wella Professional stylist for more information.
So as I mentioned in my previous post that I wanted to try this pack, I went ahead and bought it from my local chemist. This is something new for me because I haven’t tried this face pack from Himalaya Herbals yet. I have used the Purifying Neem a lot and have also tried the Refreshing Fruit Pack before.
What the Company claims: Himalaya’s Fairness Kesar Face Pack is a unique natural formulation that evens out skin tone for a fairer you! Turmeric, Walnut, Indian Aloe and Kesar rejuvenate and cleanse your skin of impurities, to reveal a natural glow. Walnut and Indian Aloe heal the skin and remove blackheads. Turmeric and Kesar enhance your skin’s complexion and elasticity. CINNABLOC™, our patented, herbal sunscreen agent, protects your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Key ingredients:
Turmeric has strong anti-inflammatory properties, which soothe your skin gently. The herb helps to even out your skin tone and complexion. It also helps to retain the skin’s elasticity and makes it supple.
Walnut has slightly acidic properties. It is particularly effective in treating acne and in soothing sunburned skin and eczema. Walnut helps in skin cell regeneration and in toning the skin because of its astringent properties.
Indian Aloe acts as an antibacterial and an astringent, which accelerates the healing of injured skin. Indian Aloe also softens and hydrates skin.
Kesar lightens skin, clears spots, enhances the complexion and gives skin an even tone.
Directions: Apply Fairness Kesar Face Pack evenly over cleansed face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes and mouth. Let the pack dry for 10-15 minutes, and remove with a wet sponge or towel. Rinse with cool water. For best results, use twice a week.
MRP: Rs.70/- for 50g, Rs.130/- for 100g
It comes in the same white and green Himalaya Herbals flip cap tube packaging. It’s a thick, creamy mask and light yellow in colour. It has this soft powdery smell, but doesn’t smell of kesar or turmeric.
I wash my face and towel dry it lightly, keeping it a little damp for the mask to glide on well. Apply it all over the face avoiding eyes and lips and keep it on for 20 minutes before washing off, massaging it with circular motions with wet hands while taking it off.
I have used it 3-4 times till now, like twice a week, and I can say that this does not make your skin fairer, I think what they mean is detan. It definitely removes tan and lightens the acne scars a bit, to make the skin even. But it does require regular and continuous use to show results.
Kesar and turmeric are very good to even out skin while turmeric is also anti-bacterial. Indian Aloe soothes the skin.
Skin feels soft, supple and fresh post usage. I do need a moisturizer post washing the mask though.
I would recommend this face pack in summers, especially if you have tanned after your holidays, this does remove your tan with regular use. I would keep my use once a week now.

So, which is your favorite one from the whole Kylie Jenner Collection?
I love the Kala Chashma song, it was a hit during my college days and I am absolutely loving this new mix too. Katrina Kaif looks stunning. Her killer abs and dance moves are the highlight of this song!
Here is the video of the song, if you still haven’t seen it..
I tried recreating this look, as one of my YouTube subscriber Neha requested for it. I am too lazy otherwise, but thanks for the push Neha 😀
Katrina has a soft plummy brown matte smokey eye going on with soft glossy pink lips. She doesn’t have any highlight or contour going on, not that she needs contouring either, her chiseled body and face are more than naturally contoured 😀
The bag is faux leather and navy blue with pink purple polka dots. It is quite sturdy and nice, quality wise.
Products I got:
Geri G Foundation: Rs. 2500
Natural Bath & Body Grapefruit & Vitamin C Face Masque- 50ml- Rs.325/- for 100ml

I went with the foundation in Medium and I am really looking forward to trying that out, I hope the shade matches well.
Apart from that the Lemongrass Body wash and Grapefruit Face Masque are quite interesting too.
I quite liked this month’s bag, apart from the full sized foundation, also for the deluxe sized samples. I do recommend this month’ bag but make sure you subscribe quickly to get makeup of your choice 😀
I got the July Lip Monthly Bag 2-3 days ago, they usually ship towards the end of the month, hence the delay.

I definitely recommend trying out Lip Monthly! And I do love the July Bag
Have you tried Lip Monthly Bag before? What do you think of it?
We have all been new to the makeup world some time or another and learnt everything by trial and error. One thing which comes in the mind of a person new to makeup is; affordable makeup products since they haven’t mastered any techniques and hence need affordable options to experiment and learn with.
And for anyone trying their hands on eye shadows, is to get a good eye shadow primer, that should be the prime objective. An eye shadow primer acts as a base for your eye shadow, makes the pigmentation of the eye shadow more visible and helps in the staying power of the eye shadow on your lids.
However, there aren’t many affordable options available in the Indian market. When I started using eye shadows, there were barely any primers available, even the costly ones.
So, I DIY-d my very own eye shadow primer and used it for ages till I got an actual eye shadow primer from the market. Hopefully, this will help anyone new to makeup or someone who wants to save some bucks on an eye shadow primer.
It consists of basic things which we all have lying around anyways. It works the same as any eye shadow primer in the market would.
What you’ll need:
Foundation
Concealer
Body Butter or Thick Moisturizer
Empty and Clean Tub
Toothpick
Starting with, you’d want to sanitize the tub you want to keep your primer in. I have used this old lip balm tub and sanitized it. You can even buy empty tubs similar to these online.
Step1
Initially, you want to pour some foundation in the tub, the foundation is the base of the product so you should use the most of it depending on how much eye primer you want to make. I am using this Foundation by the body shop in my eye shadow primer.
Step2
Next, put in a little concealer, use it lesser than the foundation, half than how much foundation you used to be precise. It will help in adding that little brightness in your eye shadow primer. I am using this Deliplus concealer I had got from Spain.
Step3
Finally, put a bit of body butter or thick body lotion, you shouldn’t use a light/thin consistency moisturizer since it would make the consistency of your eye primer runny.
The ratio of the moisturizer/body butter should be same or teeny less than the concealer. What the moisturizer does, is to retain the moisture on your lids underneath all that eye shadow. I am using this parachute body lotion.
The ratio you want to work in is 2:1:1 that is 2 parts foundation, 1 part concealer and 1 part moisturizer.
Step4
Mix it well with the help of a toothpick and store it away well. Always use a brush to apply the product to avoid spreading any germs and always pat some powder on top of the eye shadow primer to help it not to crease.
I wouldn’t really recommend making huge batches of the eye shadow primer. Make a batch that’ll not last you more than 1-2 months. You require a really small amount for each use.
Done
I have used this eye shadow primer for more than 8 hours and it lasted me without creasing or fading my eye makeup.
Editor’s Note: That sounds like a good eye primer. I would also recommend adding a little glycerine in place or addition to the body butter, just a tiny amount.
I know I haven’t done an OOTD since a long time. Today I am doing an Indian wear OOTD i.e. a kurti and matching pants.
Both the kurti and pants are from Naari’s Fluid Lines Collection.
Let me tell you a little bit more about Naari first.
About Naari: Desi elements fused with contemporary styles is what Naari is all about. This love love affair is prominent in every piece of fabric designed for an overall ethnic experience. A channel for your personal style and a gateway to high fashion prêt . Integrating the modern Indian woman’s quality, design and personal taste requirements, Naari is the fusion fiesta for the wardrobe.
So as you read, Naari is a perfect amalgamation of modern and traditional. It is Indian wear with a twist i.e. fusion wear. As you can see here, the kurti I have paired with unconventional pants and not the usual leggings. They also have palazzos, wide legged palazzos, slim pants and a lot of different options apart from the conventional leggings.
And they have different collections, i.e. True Blue, Fluid Lines, Real World, Mudcals, Secret Garden, etc. where the collection revolves around a particular concept.
One can buy kurtis, bottoms, dupattas, salwar kameez and even unstitched sets on their online website. They even have Gift Cards.
About the Fluid Lines Collection: If easy-breezy, fuss-free style is your thing, Fluid Lines must feature in your wardrobe! The collection not only boasts of a tantalizing movement of a color with a tinge of shaded pattern, but also rich Lucknowi embroidery to bring the whole look together.
I absolutely loved this simple white kurti with neon pink embroidery work, also the embroidery is placed well and it’s not all over, coz that wouldn’t be very flattering. The high low hem gives it a casual yet semi-formal look. The pink slim pants also has white thread work all over. They are stretchy and very comfortable.
Also I shot this, in the rains, so please excuse the pics :/

I hope you liked the outfit. If you love Indian wear or fusion wear, you should definitely check out ShopNaari.com
Top 10 Products For Glowing Skin, Prices, Buy Online
By Archana
Healthy, clear, radiant and glowing skin – this is what every girl wishes for. Some call it fairness, some call it whitening, some say tan removal, but the end result of what we all desire is same. Here are ten products which work effectively to help you get a glowing skin. I have very sensitive skin and all these products work well on them. I will categorize them into three sections – Save, Spend and Splurge. So that you can pick the one most suitable for you.
SAVE:
1. Lotus Herbals Whiteglow Range:
Hands down, my first personal recommendation. Whenever I end up with any skin problem, dull and tanned skin and nothing else works, this is my go to formula. The most effective ones are the Whiteglow night cream, Whiteglow scrub and Whiteglow serum. You can also try the Whiteglow facial kit which I found very useful for a Sunday evening pampering to go to office with a fresh, tan-free and glowing face on Monday. Though the name mentions “Whiteglow” which scares someone into thinking of whitish, artificial fairness, this is nothing like that.
Day and Night Kit, MRP: Rs.720, Facial Kit, MRP: Rs.531
You might be surprised to see Banjara’s in the list. I have not seen much results with their products. But their face packs work very well and they are very affordable. Their recent launch of Gold Face Pack took me by surprise as I got it without much expectations. My friend used it as part of her pre-bridal regimen and swears by it. It gives an exact parlour facial-like effect – clear, glowing skin and also the effect lasts for even 3-4 days which is the most important factor.
You might be wondering why an aloe vera gel is listed in this. But this one from Aroma Treasures has worked really well for me compared to others. Additionally, it is enriched with essential oils of lavender, chamomile and vetiver. It is non-sticky and hydrates the skin well giving a translucent, healthy glow. Also excellent for making hair packs. 🙂
Himalaya has been a trusted brand for years and they recently launched this new day cream. It contains liquorice and other ayurvedic key ingredients which help to lighten skin tone and give a clearer complexion. It is also paraben-free.
5. Biotique Bio Milk Protein Whitening & Rejuvenating Face Pack:
Biotique offers organic, cruelty-free products and among their many face packs, this is packed with milk proteins and other interesting stuff which works from deep within to nourish your skin and give a baby soft, healthy, glowing skin.
6. Just Herbs Fair e Mulethi-Khus Skin Lightening Gel:
The best deal for oily-skin people. It contains a blend of many Indian herbs which help to detoxify the blood and boost circulation thereby giving a healthy natural glow from within. Just Herbs have a whole list of awesome products. Also try out their Petalsoft Anti-Tan Rose Face Pack and Instaglow Almond Complexion Pack. I love the brand and psst… if you haven’t checked out their website, do so now. You will love it and they also send samples when ordering from the site. 😉
7. Fuschia Arabian Jasmine Anti-ageing Night Cream:
I won this in a contest. Fuschia is a new beauty startup offering natural, handmade, paraben-free products. Though this is mentioned as an anti-ageing cream, it has actually helped me to get a clear and healthy skin and lightened pigmentation. They are still improvising on their formulas I guess, as I now see them in different packaging and their body scrub which I got now feels different from the one I got before. Its good to see such new natural, toxic-free brands coming up in India. I also heard they are expanding on their products line bringing serums and stuff. Sounds exciting!
8. Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Miraculous Ayurvedic Night Serum: (More Kama Reviews HERE)
This has raving reviews online and works for all skin types though it is oil-based. Made from pure saffron this helps to fade spots, smoothens fine lines and gives a healthy glow from within. Though, Kama Ayurveda has been hiking the price recently, seeing the growing demand. I would go for their Nalpamaradi Thailam Skin Brightening Treatment which gives very similar results, but at a decent price.
One of the most popular product with raving reviews in the beauty world. It is a potent 99.8% natural serum and paraben-free. Its like a magical elixir from the Harry Potter world which gives you your dream skin overnight ;). But the price…sigh. 🙁 Agree one bottle of it lasts pretty long, but still…
And finally on the list – L’Occitane Immortelle, the closest to heaven you can get. I don’t have to say a word. My CEO uses them 😉 If you wish to try their products, you can visit their spa center too. Just pure luxury and indulgement. But I don’t know why they aren’t much active online in India. I have subscribed to their US and Indian mailing list on the website. Though I get many emails with attractive offers from the US site (which is of no use to me), there are no offers in the Indian site. 🙁
Price: Rs.4590 for 30ml.
So these are my picks to get back your healthy, natural, glowing skin. Which are your favorite ones? Please share in the comments section below.
Editor’s Note: I personally absolutely love the Kumkumadi Oils and Kiehl’s MRC!
