Hot hot summers have started and so has the problem of acne at my back. Though I don’t have much acne but still need to take care of them to avoid their increase. Normally I use prickly heat powders for same or some body wash specially meant for acne skin. Like last year someone recommended me Dove Exfoliating Body wash and I quite liked it, but this year I have got one from a different brand – Original Source Lemon and Tea Tree Oil Shower Gel.

What it Claims?

Original Source Lemon & Tea Tree Shower Gel is made using only 100% natural essential oils to keep skin soft and smooth, naturally.

Price – Rs 195/- for 250 ml.

Review

I ordered this Original Source Lemon and Tea Tree Shower Gel from Urbantouch.com (which is now merged with Fashion and You, don’t know why, I just loved shopping from them.)The packaging of this is very appealing, a huge rectangle shaped bottle tapered at top with yellow color signifying lemons.

The bottle had a lid which has a flip opening, to make it convenient to use. The gel is little yellow in color with little liquid consistency and has a gentle smell of lemons which is very refreshing.

Now the gel foams little less than usual, but does its work of cleaning excellently. Not only its very refreshing to use in the morning but also works great with acne skin. I am using this Lemon and Tea Tree Gel since a week and little tiny zits at my back have reduced considerably  So all in all I am just loving it in all aspects. It’s my daily wake up alarm now.

Pros

Very refreshing in morning.

Affordable at Rs.195/- for 250 ml.

Nice attractive user friendly packaging.

Smells of lemons.

Good for acne skin.

Available in different sizes.

Cons

Don’t know if available offline.

This review is on a Nivea Happy Time Roll on. I have already done Nivea Lemongrass & Whitening Deodorant Review & after being quite satisfied with these, I thought of trying a different roll on from this same brand. Check out the review below to see how effective it is.

What it Claims?

Shower freshness all day long. With bamboo extract and orange scent.

Price – Rs 145 for 50 ml.

Review

Normally I don’t get Nivea deodorants easily offline but this time I was lucky enough to find different varieties of it offline in a store & without missing a chance I bought a different one – happy time roll on this time. What attracted me to buy this was its brand Nivea primarily & secondly its ingredients – orange & bamboo extract.

Now coming to its effectiveness, I am using this roll on since about 20 days and can definitely say its not good as other Nivea Deodorants neither in fragrance nor in preventing odor  The smell of the Lemongrass one is much better  & even stays for long. I don’t like its smell too much. Also it gives protection from odor for about 2-3 hrs max in summers, thats what I experienced.

Pros

Comes with Orange scent.

Affordable, since one roll on goes for a long time.

Cons

Fragrance is just average.

Does not protect from odor for long in summers.

Difficult to find offline.

Overall I like Nivea Deodorants a lot, & I will continue using their roll on but wont buy this one again.

Good Evening friends. This is a review about a site that sells amazing makeup and beauty brushes- Sigma Beauty.com. For the very first time, I ordered from Sigma Beauty.com & the experiencing has been extremely pleasing. Here is the review of the same.

I have heard many good reviews about Sigma’s Makeup Brushes & always thought of buying from them but somehow I felt their shipping charges were a bit more. But last month I saw free shipping Black Friday coupon & thus using that I placed an order on 22^ndNovember’12.  I immediately got the confirmation mail. However I received the shipping details little bit late around 3 days later, i.e on 26^th November.

But unexpectedly, I received my package on 5^th December’12. So Quick that too with free shipping. I was not at all expecting it to be so quick because normally international parcels take about 14 days atleast to deliver but this was a little more than a week, after receiving the shipping details.

Along with the brush I also got an instruction card, about first cleaning & regular cleaning instructions & also a card with information about their other brushes.

Overall I am very happy with so quick delivery & would definitely order from them in future. 

Pros

Quick Delivery.

High Quality Makeup Brushes.

Reasonable price for the quality.

Free shipping coupons also available many times.

Cons

I dont think Debit Cards are accepted.

Shipping charges are little more if no free shipping coupon available.

Ayurvedic Shampoo (Anti Dandruff)

This post is about a herbal anti dandruff shampoo - Khadi Herbals Lemon Cleanser. Winters have just started & already I am struggling with my dandruff. I have so sensitive skin, hair that they react to changes so easily (unfortunately negatively not positively). To fight with dandruff, I am also using medicated shampoos but since they are too strong, one cannot use them on regular basis, so I am using this Khadi herbal ayurvedic shampoo on regular basis.

What it Claims?

Lemon Hair Cleanser contains beneficial herbs like Nimbu, Amla, Shikakai etc which are beneficial for removing dandruff from the scalp skin without any side effect & prevent from the hair problems. It removes all types of duct from the hair without stripping off natural oils.

Price – Rs 99/- for 210ml.

Review

This Khadi herbals lemon shampoo comes in a simple transparent bottle ( though more that half wrapped from all over)  with a flip top, thus simple easy to use.

The shampoo looks like a gel with very light yellow color effect. Fragrance too is very light & gentle. On application also, one could easily feel that the shampoo is very gentle. Little more amount is required than normal to lather nicely thus giving nicely cleaned hair yes good but does not help too much in getting rid of dandruff. I have used this shampoo many times in winters but still my dandruff prevails. Though my dandruff has definitely reduced but not too much help.

So overall a very gentle shampoo, will definitely work in giving you clean hair with little shine because of lemon but wont help in getting rid of dandruff.

Pros

Nice bottle with a flip top.

Herbal shampoo.

Cleanses hair nicely.

Gentle in use.

Contains Lemon to provide little shine.

Easily available.

Cheap.

Cons

Does not work too much in getting rid of dandruff.

Rating 3/5

(only because of its name anti dandruff, in which it didn’t really work otherwise a good gentle shampoo to clean hair nicely).

This post is not about a beauty product rather on a health product- A Pain reliever ointment- Patanjali Muscle Joint Pain Reliever Cream. Few days back when I went to Patanjali outlet to buy its hair cleanser, I saw this pain reliever cream. There was a pain reliever oil too ( Patanjali Peedantak Tail) but that shopkeeper told me that this cream is much more effective, so I bought this cream.

What it Claims?

Helps to relieve muscular & joint pains.

Price –  Rs 70/- for 50 g.

Review –

This Patanjali Peedantak Pain Reliever Ointment comes in a simple tube form like other muscular pain creams & is very travel friendly, easy to use.

The cream is off white in color & gives a cooling sensation on smelling.

I bought this cream basically for my mom since she was having severe muscular pain since 3-4 months.. So I gave this to my Mom, thinking that may be this is an Ayurvedic cream & might help in this muscular pain. But unfortunately, no. It didn’t work for my mom. She did feel little difference in pain after using for few days, but it was not that much which could provide long lasting relief. The pain comes & go but not completely off  So I kept it the drawer back.

But few days back, I got some weird pain in my neck suddenly. Like what we say that nerve is pulled or so. I could not turn it sideways easily, so I thought of using this Patanjali cream. I applied the cream at night & wrapped a loose cloth on top & slept. In the morning, I was surprised to see that more than half of my pain have disappeared. I repeated this method for one more day & guess what totally pain free the next day.

So the conclusion is that this Patanjali Peedantak Muscle pain reliever is a good cream for muscle cramps, would work very nicely in relieving a muscular pain which is very recent but yes wont work for too old pains, lasting since months. This is what I have found, but effects might differ from person to person. Some say that it also works for arthritis pain but I cant say much in this, since I have used it only for muscular pain. Though one can definitely keep this in the bag in case of sudden pain.

Pros

Relives recent muscular pain in two to three applications.

Come in travel friendly tube.

Affordable at Rs 70.

From a good brand- Patanjali.

Cons

Does not work too much for old muscular pain.

Only available at Patanjali outlets.

Very Good Evening to all. This post is about a product which makes you beautiful not just from outside but inside too- Honey-A Wonderful Ayurvedic Product. The Brand I am going to review is Baba Ramdev ‘s Patanjali Honey. I love most of Patanjali product so wanted to try its honey too.I have used it in plain honey flavor but this one is the Litchi flavor, which is recently launched at Patanjali outlets.

What it Claims?

Useful in cough & cold, Mild laxative, antiseptic & nutritive tonic.

Price – Rs 120 for 500 gm.

Review

Honey is wonder product known since ancient times to give beautiful soft skin when applied topically. Not only this it’s also found helpful in loosing weight when taken internally. Thus this solves dual purpose of beautiful skin & body when you take it with warm water mixed with lemon juice empty stomach in the morning.

To experience the actual benefits of honey, its very important that its pure. Me too wanted to buy pure honey & since I was quite happy with its original honey flavor, I thought of buying this again but in different flavor, i.e. Litchi. Though I was looking for a completely organic Honey but since we don’t have lot of options in India, I bought Patanjali.

This Divya Patanjali Honey comes in a simple transparent glass jar, which not only makes it difficult to use but also creates a mess if any drop is left on the jar while taking out the honey.

Regarding its purity, I don’t have any complete proof or evidence but for my satisfaction, I did a simple test to check its purity. I placed few drops of honey in a glass of water & they didn't melt, did not get absorbed into water immediately rather settled in a form of separate layer on top of water thus confirming its purity to some extent at least. Rest to know how effective it really is in loosing weight & giving beautiful skin, I have to use it regularly for some days.

Regarding its taste its normal like any other honey with little tinge of Litchi in it. 

Pros

From Baba Ramdev brand – Patanjali.

Has flavor of Litchi with Honey.

Less price compared to other brands.

Good in taste.

Cons

Comes in simple plastic jar- a mess to use.

Available only at Patanjali outlets.

Rating – 3 / 5.
