Hi Everyone!

Today I am going to share with you my thoughts on the Khadi Natural's Rose & Honey Herbal Moisturizer.

I was looking for a good herbal moisturizer and that's why I decided to try the Khadi Natural's moisturizer in the Rose & Honey variant.
This is the first product from Khadi Natural's that I have ever tried.Read on to know my experience with this product.

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

  • Can be used to line-out the lips (being a lip-crayon)
Fragrance:
The lipstick has a mild vanilla-cupcake-like fragrance that goes away within few minutes of product-application

Effective?
  • Stays on the lips close to 6-7 hours(approx.) with light meals in between.Long-lasting lipstick.
  • Yes,as the time passes we eat and drink,the shine goes away,but,still the product stays on the lips
  • By the end of the day the product fades away evenly leaving a light stain behind...looks lovely
  • Product can be removed using a good makeup remover anytime
  • Re-application is not an issue & it doesn't look chunky or patchy on the lips
  • This shade will suit all the skin tones as it's a very wearable red lipstick
  • This lipstick-shade is not OTT(over the top) can be easily used in any party or a function
Con:
  • Transfers.After the initial application the product transfers to cutlery etc.Later on the lipstick becomes less transferable which is ok with me.
  • Product-ingredients are not mentioned anywhere


Tip :We can alway mattify any creamy/satin-finish lipstick easily by using some translucent / compact powder

Will I re-purchase?
I am in love with the formula.Lips look shiny any luscious and simply gorgeous.Love it.
Will definitely purchase some other shade from this collection.
