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

Review : Loreal Micellar Water

Hi Lovelies!

Hope you are doing great!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the Loreal's Micellar water. First of all, lemme tell you why I chose this product.I love L'Oreal Paris Dermo Expertise Lip And Eye Make-Up Remover,it's one of my holy grail products.Have been using it for a really long time.So, when Loreal came up with their micellar water version, I thought of giving it a try.Hence, this blog-post! :D

Let's get started with the review.Shall we?

About Loreal:
A global beauty care brand, L’Oréal Paris believes in the essence of helping every woman embrace her unique beauty while reinforcing her innate sense of self-worth with their internationally renowned, diversive products. The brand has wide range of affordable luxury, high-quality products in categories like skin care, hair care, hair color and makeup.

Product Description;
With the new L'Oreal Paris Micellar Water, now remove every trace of make-up, dirt, oil & pollution effortlessly and on the go, in just one swipe. Unlike other cleansers, Micellar Water requires no rinsing. Powered by micelle molecules that cluster together to surround and lift away impurities and makeup with no rinsing or harsh rubbing.

• Cleans dirt and impurities.
• Hydrates and softens skin.
• Removes every trace of makeup.
• Suitable for all skin types.

Price : INR 475

Quantity : 95 ml

Shelf-life : 6 months                           
                         

Ingredients:

In Pic : Shown ingredients of the product

What's a micellar water?
According to board-certified dermatologist Hadley King of Skinney Medspa, micellar water is made up of micelles (tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules) suspended in soft water. “The idea is that micelles are attracted to dirt and oil, so they are able to draw out impurities without drying out the skin,” she says. Therefore, micellar water can be used as a facial wash, makeup remover and moisturizer all in one.
“It looks like water, it has the viscosity of water but when you put it on your finger and feel, it has a different texture than water,” says Tabasum Mir, a skincare physician in cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic laser surgery.
Instead of foaming and stripping your complexion like soap and cleansers, micelles dissolve the bad stuff, while keeping the good stuff on your skin intact.

Source : http://stylecaster.com/beauty/what-is-micellar-water/

In layman's terms, micellar water is a product apt for removing makeup,dirt,gunk etc. from your skin.

My Experience:

Packaging:
Attractive packaging.Product comes in a plastic cylindrical bottle that has got a pink coloured plastic cap.We need to squeeze out / tilt the bottle to get the product from  the small nozzle.The packaging is very travel friendly and sturdy.Easy to carry along while travelling.The details like ingredients,quantity,shelf-life etc are mentioned on the packaging itself which is a good thing.

                                             

In Pic : Shown the opening on the head of the cylindrical bottle

In Pic : Shown product details and how to use directions

Formula & Texture:
The micellar water has a liquid-consistency(obviously).It doesn't smell of anything in particular.The texture is not oily or greasy,it's somewhere in between.Non-sticky.Love the formula,it's very lightweight and effective.Not strong or harsh on the skin.
Glycerin is one of the key ingredients and may be that's why this product keeps the skin moisturized.

Fragrance:
No fragrance.

Effective?
Yes,definitely.

• Firstly,the consistency is liquid(y) so,it becomes very easy to work with.Easy to apply on the cotton pad and clean out the skin.
• It didn't break out my sensitive skin.Skin felt soft.
• Didn't cause any skin rashes.Be careful and don't rub the cotton pad too hard,else skin-irritation might happen.Be gentle.
• Didn't leave any sticky cast on the skin.
• Very lightweight and comfortable
• Didn't strip off any essential oils from the skin
• For eye/lip makeup : use one-two cotton pads...that's sufficient.Take the product on a cotton pad generously and apply gently on the eyes/lips.Wipe in circular motions.
• Removes waterproof makeup in a jiffy! Might need to use more product on the cotton pad to remove makeup(full face). Ideally, two to four cotton pads are sufficient(depends though).
• Suitable for combination skin.Tested.
• This micellar water requires no rinsing.Very true.

Con:
Nothing in my opinion

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,definitely.Bottom line is cleanse, remove makeup and soothe as per the product-claims.I totally agree with it.This product works fine.

Overall ,I would like to say that this micellar water has become my new favourite.
I highly recommend checking this product out!

Rating: 4.5/5

The product comes in a white coloured plastic-tub.The green coloured lid needs to be pulled up in order to take out the product from the tub.There is a foil cover that comes as a protecting shield between the lid and the tub.Once we throw out the foil,it becomes very important to keep the product covered so as to avoid exposure to environmental stresses.

Review : Dr Neem Dr Darlie Skincare/ Bodycare Products

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well!

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on the Dr. Neem skincare / body care products.Recently,I purchased two products : the Shower Gel(Aloe Vera & Yoghurt) and Petroleum Jelly (with aloe vera).This amazing brand has got skincare products i.e.body care,face care...also, oral care etc.These products were launched in GCC few months back and I wanted to try their personal care product-s.So,let's find out more about this brand and their interesting products!

About Dr. Neem:

Shower Gel(Aloe & Yoghurt)

                                     

In Pic : Shower gel with aloe vera & yoghurt by Dr. Neem

Product Description:

Dr. Neem brings the multi-power properties of Aloe Vera to treat a variety of skin conditions and the natural wrinkle- reducing properties of lactic acid from yoghurt to dissolve dead skin and tighten skin pores to its range of shower gels. Dr. Neem’s Yogurt and Aloe Vera Shower Gel creates a unique blend of a refreshing shower scent with the healing and moisturizing properties of these two powerful ingredients leaving the skin feeling secure.

Price : AED 16

Quantity : 250 ml

Shelf-life: 12 months

Ingredients:

My Experience :

Packaging:
The Dr. Neem's shower gel comes in a white-plastic cylindrical bottle that has a vibrant green coloured cap.It's a flip open lid.The nozzle is of appropriate size i.e. once we squeeze out the product enough amount of the product comes out at a time.Also, the bottle-packaging looks very attractive and is very hygienic in nature.Plus all the details like product-quantity, shelf-life , ingredients etc are mentioned on the packaging.Very sturdy, compact and travel-friendly packaging indeed!
                           

In Pic : Flip-open cap of the shower gel

Formula & Texture:

In Pic : Shower gel(Clear gel with a green hue)

The shower gel has got no colour.It's a clear gel with a hue of green colour.The texture is thin and the consistency is runny.Very lightweight formula.As soon as the product comes in contact with the water it lathers up very quickly.Very easy to work with.Non-sticky or greasy.

Fragrance:
Yes,the shower gel has got a pleasant fragrance.It smells like aloe mixed with a hint of yogurt.If you have smelled fresh aloe-leaves ever,you will understand what I am saying.Also, the smell doesn't last for long on the skin.It fades away from the skin after some time(let's say after ten minutes post shower,ehich I am ok with ).Not overpowering.People with sensitive nose can relax.

Effective?
Yes.

• This shower gel is non-sticky and it is very lightweight
• Retains skin-moisture(post bathing-session).
• Doesn't cause any skin irritations, rashes,break-outs.
• Didn't dry out the skin at all.
• Skin feels refreshed and breathable.Leaves skin feeling soft.
• Main ingredients: Aloe & Yogurt. Aloe is a very important ingredient.It has various benefits.Aloe keeps the skin healthy in the long run.It helps in calming and soothing any sort of skin irritation etc. On the other hand yogurt is a very nice element in skincare.It helps in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The lactic acid in yogurt helps dissolve dead skin and tighten pores. 
• This shower gel is suitable for all skin types and didn't rip of the essential oils from the skin.May be because Glycerin is also present in this shower gel.
• Ideally one to two pumps of the product should be sufficient (during bath).

Con:
Nothing

Will I re-purchase?
Would like to try some other variant of the shower gel from Dr. Neem.

Rating : 4.5/5

I highly recommend this shower gel to people who are looking out for a decent shower gel with skincare properties.

The bar was set high. And every single Soap & Glory product that followed has been brilliant.

Review : Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Herbs & Rosewater

Hi All!

Hope you are doing well.

Today, I am going to share my thoughts on Mario Badescu's aloe ,herbs & rosewater facial spray.This product has been so raved about by many beauty-influencers.I went ahead and purchased it as I ran out of the rose-water spray that I was using.Let's find out together if this product is worth the HYPE. :)

About Mario Badescu:

Mario Badescu is the name that continues to transcend generations and span the entire life-cycle of skin: from powerful acne solutions to potent anti-aging treatments, we customize regimens for every skin type and concern imaginable.Simple, gentle and effective is our philosophy—and for that, we’ve become a touchstone of quality skin care.


Product Information:
Revitalize skin with dewy radiance. Whether spritzed for a hydrating boost or mid-day pick-me-up, our cult-favorite facial spray helps revive dehydrated skin anytime, anywhere. It's a rejuvenating mist infused with herbal and botanical extracts (like Aloe Vera, Gardenia, Rose, Bladderwrack and Thyme) that help soothe and re-energize skin—giving it a healthy, radiant glow.

#MBSKINTIP:
To give your makeup a dewy finish, spritz your favorite brush or sponge before blending in foundation or concealer. Once you're done, mist your face as a final step to add radiance. For an extra refreshing and cooling boost, store the bottle in your refrigerator.

How to use?
Mist onto face, neck, or hair as needed. Use it to infuse more hydration before or after applying moisturizer, as a pick-me-up on the go, or post-makeup application to give skin a dewy finish. If product gets into eyes, rinse well with water.

$ 12 for 8.0 oz

Shelf-life : 24 months

My Experience:

My skin-type : Normal to oily

Packaging:

The product comes in a white coloured(transparent) plastic-bottle.It has a product-dispensing nozzle attached.So hygienic.Once pressed,the nozzle dispenses appropriate(enough) amount of product at a time.We need to spray 2-3 times(as per your liking) to cover an entire face.All the details like product quantity, ingredients,shelf-life,how to use etc are present on the packaging. The packaging is very compact and travel-friendly. Yay! There are different sizes available which is really cool.I love love love the packaging!

                               

Formula & Texture:
The orange-coloured face mist has a very fine texture and it spreads evenly on the skin.Not runny...unless we spray more than the required amount.Love the formula it's really soothing and keeps skin moisturized.

                           

Fragrance:
The product has very nice fragrance.It smells just like a mixture of fresh roses and aloe.Pleasant... smells great!It is not strong and after few minutes the smell fades away.Nothing bothersome.If you have sensitive nose...relax...you will hopefully enjoy this product.

Effective?
Yes,totally effective.

• Firstly,the product spreads evenly and gets absorbed into the skin(face/neck) within two minutes or so.
• When the product sets,it clearly gives out a very glowy skin-effect(dewy) which looks amazing.
• The product feels very-light on the skin.
• It never made the skin look overly greasy or oily...just gave the right amount of the suttle glow.
• Love using it as a moisturizer.Works fine.
• Can be used as a toner and it keeps skin clean...love it.
• Love the ingredients: rosewater and aloe.Really great for skin.Also,this product is paraban-free and the brand is totally cruelty-free how cool is that!!!❤
• Did not break the skin out
• Experienced no allergic reactions
• It's very easy to apply...anytime.Leaves the skin feeling fresh.It can be sprayed easily on the go.It rejuvenates the skin...seriously!
• I won't suggest using this product as a makeup setting spray (as claimed by the brand), because this feels kinda sticky and might spoil your makeup(in my opinion).
• One bottle would last for about two months (max) if used regularly.

Con:
If you spray the product and touch your skin in let's say a minute you will feel the stickiness/greasiness...it takes time to get absorbed into the skin.So, give it some time to get totally absorbed into your skin.

Overall, I would like to say that the Mario Badescu's facial spray is simply amazing and works well. Every time I spray this product on my skin, I feel great and delighted.
It literally awakens and uplifts my mood as it smells great. Highly recommend it.
