My Experience :

Packaging:

The product comes in a cream-coloured plastic tube.The tube has got a flip open cap.It's very tight and secures the product well.We need to squeeze the tube to take out the product.The nozzle is of appropriate size and enough product comes out at a time.All the details like ingredients,shelf-life,quantity etc are mentioned on the packaging.The tube is really compact and not heavy at all.Very sturdy and travel friendly packaging.Experienced no product-spillage in the handbag while travelling.Decent packaging.

                                     

In Pic : Shown the flip open cap attached to the tube

Formula & Texture:

Formula : Ingredients like glycerin , shea butter , olive oil, pineapple juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice , coconut fruit extract have been used. 

These ingredients are well-known to deal with skin-issues and make it feel more rejuvenated. 

• Shea butter and coconut extract keeps the skin moisturized.
• Vitamin E present in olive oil is an antioxidant that protects the skin against sun damage and other environmental stresses. 
• In general,Lemon juice helps in killing the bacteria etc.
• In general,Grapefruit is high in antioxidants which fight the free radicals that cause wrinkles, and dull complexion. The salicylic acid present in the grapefruit juice works magically on the elbows, knees and rough patches.                     

Texture: The off white coloured foot cream has a very creamy texture, The consistency is not that thin or runny, it's well balanced.Get's absorbed into the skin meticulously. Non sticky product.

Fragrance:

If you have smelled shea butter ever, you will recognize the fragrance of the foot cream.It's mild and smells kind of vanilla-like...it's pleasant , nothing bothersome.The fragrance goes away as the time passes.Very quickly.

Effective?

Yes.

• The foot cream has a creamy texture which is amazing.Soft to touch.No granules or harsh particles are present.Plain cream.
• Nice ingredients.The combo of the ingredients like glycerin , shea butter ,coconut extract etc is amazing. It works on the skin pretty well.
• Very lightweight formula. Doesn't feel greasy at all.
• It gets absorbed into the skin quite well
• Very comfortable.After applying the cream on the feet, the skin feels better.
• Regular usage of this product helped in reducing the skin-dryness
• Also, flakiness of the skin was tackled well by this cream
• As the time passed, skin felt moisturized, soft and supple.
• Won't say that we will get fairy-like feet in just one day of usage.Keep using this product on a regular-basis to feel the effect.A month or so, it totally depends on the severity of the damaged skin.
• For best results, wash your feet at night and apply the foot cream generously.Wear socks and sleep tight.Doing this will help in reducing the dryness and will heal the rough skin.

Con:

• Not Paraben free.
• Contains dimethicone and alcohol
• A bit pricey for the quantity being offered.One tube lasted for a month.But,yes the product-quality is great!

Will I re-purchase?

Yes.

Overall,I would like to say that this foot cream is really nice.You should check out and try this product if you are suffering from dry & rough feet.Must try out once.Highly recommend.

Rating : 4/5

Formula & Texture:

• Very smooth and soft lip-crayons

• Very pigmented.In one swipe we get rich and full colour payoff!

• The lip-crayons in the Lip Gradation range have a matte-finish

• Light-weight

• Velvet matte finish of the lipsticks is to die-for.They glide on very smoothly onto the lips without tugging.

Fragrance:
The lip-crayon have no fragrance.That's good.

Effective/Worth?
Yes

• These lip-crayons/lipsticks are very pigmented and cover the pigmentation on the lips very well
• These lipsticks are really very comfortable to wear.
• Not at all heavy or un-comfortable on lips
• These lip-crayons don't bleed,flake or feather
• Don't sit into the fine lip-lines
• Don't moisturize the lips as such , but,didn't experience any dryness either.
• Not Transfer-proof.Transfers a little to the cutlery
• Not smudge-proof.will get smeared easily
• Product can be easily removed using a good makeup remover
• I am yet to try the lip-gradation soft sponge-smudger for an ombre lip-look.But,yes we can use this to tone-down the shade if needed.          

In Pic :  Sponge-smudger cushion blender attached to the lipstick tube

Longevity

Lasted on my lips for about five hours and survived both heavy any light meals.
Both the shades leave a slight stain behind on the lips.

Con:

• Quantity is less as compared to the price that we pay.A bullet lipstick(by Maybelline) contains more than 1.25g and costs around INR 299

• Shade range is restricted to reds and pinks.Hope they add new shades to this collection.

• Dry patches might be easily enhanced by these lip-crayons in case we don't prep-up the lips.

Overall,I really love the shades I picked this time.I am planning to purchase other shades from this collection.I highly recommend that you try out these shades : Mauve1 & Fuchsia1 and check out other shades from this collection.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes.

Rating : 4/5

Tip : Please exfoliate you lips beforehand and apply a lip balm,then wipe-off the excess and apply lip gradation liptick

Hi Everyone!

Price : INR 130 / AED 30

Quantity : 210 ml / 7.11 fl oz

Shelf-life : 36 months

Ingredients :
                                     

My Experience :

Packaging:

• The body moisturizer comes in a transparent plastic bottle that has a black cap
• The lid of the bottle is a flip-open lid that has a nozzle 
• Nozzle-size is appropriate for the product to get dispensed
• You need to squeeze the bottle really hard to get the product out
• I like the packaging,it's very sturdy & travel-friendly
• All the ingredients are clearly mentioned on the packaging
• The shelf-life,directions etc are mentioned as well on the packaging...nice!

                                     
Formula & Texture :

• The product looks like a baby-pink-coloured cream in the bottle,but,in reality it looks more of a white-coloured cream with pink hues...no issues
• The product is made up of all herbal-ingredients which is really cool
• This moisturizer is made up of awesome ingredients like shea butter , kokum butter, beeswax,aloevera extract,olive oil,jojoba oil,rose extract,honey and the list goes on.These elements are meant to keep the skin smooth and moisturized 
• The body-moisturizer has no parabens or or silicon or phthalates which is the prime reason why I picked this product

Fragrance:
Yes, the product has a strong rosy-fragrance(roses) and it smells divine.I love the scent of this moisturizer.The scent lingers for some time and then fades away as the time passes.

Effective?
Yes

• My skin type is normal to dry.The moisturizer instantly moisturizes the skin
• The moisturizer gets absorbed into the skin easily
• But,I would suggest to use less amount of the product at first and if required then re-apply...less is more you see
• If we squeeze-out a lot of product at a time then we need to rub it very nicely to get that absorbed(seamlessly) into the skin 
• Post product-application,there is no cast left by the product which is really nice
• The moisturizer makes the skin soft and glowy...thanks to it's key ingredients : shea butter,kokum butter,honey etc.
• Also,this product is made up of all the good ingredients that are required to keep the dry skin moisturized and healthy...awesome:)
• The effect of the product stays for long and skin feels moisturized throughout the day

Overall,I like the Khadi Natural's Herbal Moisturizer in the Rose & Honey variant.

Con:

• Just a little greasy as per my liking.
• The scent of the body-moisturizer might be over-whelming to people with very sensitive nose
• The bottle needs to be squeezed-out really hard to get the product

Will I re-purchase?

• Yes,because it moisturizes my skin well & it's paraben-free.
• I recommend this to people with dry/very dry skin and also,to all those who are looking for a budget-friendly and paraben-free body-moisturizer...do give it a try
• This product can be used in any season depending on skin-needs
