My Experience:

Packaging:
The product comes in a plastic-tub packaging.The packaging is really very attractive.Tub is of pink colour and the plastic lid is of black colour with matte-finish. All the details like quantity,shelf-life,ingredients are mentioned on the packaging.Tub-packaging is sleek, firm and very much travel-friendly.The twist-open lid gets closed tightly enough to avoid product-spillage.Overall,nice packaging...I must say...thumbs up.

                                         

Formula & Texture:
Firstly,as soon as we open the black-lid we can smell the rosy-scent which is very calming.The pale pink coloured body butter has a silky smooth texture.The body butter is of white colour with pink hues to be precise.The product has a whipped cream like consistency which is not thin or runny.It's not thick at all and is just the way I like.The body butter has awesome ingredients like Glycerin ,Soybean oil,shea butter and rose extracts.Glycerin and shea butter are meant to keep the skin healthy and glowy. Soybean oil helps in protecting from the harmful UV rays.It helps in calming the skin that was damaged due to sun rays.Soybean oil is very beneficial in the treatment of skin damages which are occurred due to air pollution as well.How cool is that!!!Really nice.Rose extracts have been used in appropriate amount,just the perfect amount that's not over powering and artificial.In fact it's very real,feels like we are somewhere near a rose-garden!I basically purchased this body butter because of it's rose-fragrance.But, I'm loving the product as well.

Effective / Worth?

• Scoop out the product and apply on the skin ,rub in circular motion.It gets absorbed into the skin very quickly and seamlessly.
• Very lightweight body butter
• Not at all greasy.I would say less is more.Do not apply a lot on your skin.Scoop out less product at a time and apply.Scoop again only if required or you feel like.If we apply a lot of product,it tends to get oily/greasy.As the time passes the greasiness goes away though.
• The body butter doesn't leave any sort of cast on the skin (after application)
• Leaves the skin feeling really silky soft and supple.Using this product regularly definitely gave good results.
• We only need to apply the body butter once and never felt the need to re-apply throughout the day...ever again
• The rose-scent of the body butter is very nice and lingers for a long time on the skin.Love it.
• Can be used anytime , any season , be it summer or winter.

Cons:

• Tub packaging allows easy product contamination.Always use a spatula to scoop out the cream from the tub.
• No SPF mentioned as such
• Not budget-friendly,but,it's The Body Shop.We are paying to get a good quality product...aren't we?

Overall,I really enjoy using this body butter.The rose-fragrance is very soothing and refreshing.The texture is smooth and product gets absorbed into the skin quickly.Makes skin feel soft and healthy.Takes care of the skin and cures skin-dryness very well.I highly recommend this body butter to people with normal to dry skin.I am very sure that you will love it too and enjoy it thoroughly.No wonder this is my current favourite body butter.Also,do check out all the products in the British Rose collection.The body scrub,shower gel, body mist are etc. fantastic and worth trying.

Have you tried this body butter? What's your favourite body butter? Do share

Review : The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Face Mask

Hi All!

Hope you are doing well.

Few months back,The Body Shop had released FIVE types of face-masks namely : Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask, Chinese Ginseng & Rice Clarifying and Polishing Mask, British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask, The Ethiopian Honey Deep Nourishing Mask & Amazonian Acai Energising Radiance Mask.

Who doesn't want that glowy, radiant skin.I thought of trying the Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Face Mask as I was having skin-issues lately due to the hot summer here!Let's find out together if this mask is/was worth purchasing or not!

Let's get started. :)

My skin-type : normal to dry / oily in summers!

Purifying Glow Mask

Price:  AED 147 / INR 2495 / EURO 16

Shelf-Life: 12 months

Ingredients:
                             

In Pic : Shown product-ingredients on the outer cardboard packaging

My Experience:
Packaging:

The product comes in a outer packaging which is made up of cardboard.

All the details are mentioned on the packaging.Details like quantity,shelf-life,ingredients etc.

The directions to use the product are mentioned clearly on the outer packaging.

The actual Himalayan Charcoal Purifying glow mask comes in a tub-packaging.Tub is made up of glass and has a matte black twist open-plastic lid.The packaging is classy but bulky.It's sturdy but, delicate to travel with.Got to be very careful while carrying the jar while travelling.There is a white-coloured plastic separator that separates the product from the lid.This ensures that the product doesn't spill-out and ruin the outer edges of the tub.Although,product spillage might not happen,but glass packaging calls for a breakage-risk.

                                  

In Pic : Inner & outer packaging of the product

In Pic : White plastic separator that separates the mud mask 

from the tub's lid

Formula & Texture:

The grey-coloured  mud charcoal mask has a very nice-coarse texture.We can see and feel the crushed green-tea leaves present in the mud mask.Also,we can smell the strong fragrance of the tea-tree oil.The product(mud mask) is very nicely blended with all good ingredients like bamboo-charcoal from Himalayan foot-hills,green-tea,tea-tree oil etc.This mud-clay mask is a ready to use product,can be applied easily on the face using a spatula.Once applied on the face,It sits perfectly without being clumsy and it doesn't drip down here and there.Mess-free process!                           

                              

In Pic : Shown the actual Himalayan charcoal clay product

In Pic : Swatch of the actual charcoal-clay product

How I use it?

• Wash the face using a normal face-wash
• Apply a toner(rose-water)
• Apply a thin layer of the mud mask on the face avoiding eye and lip area
• It tingles for some time...just a little
• Feels cool on the skin
• Let it sit for about ten minutes.Meanwhile take rest!It dries down very quickly.
• Rinse using luke-warm water or wipe away using a damp wash cloth.Green-tea leaves actually exfoliates the skin gentely
• Apply a face-moisturizer after ten minutes
• Repeat this process twice to thrice a week.

Effective/Worth?
Yes.

• The ingredients like green-tea and tea-tree-oil are really good for keeping the skin healthy in the long run
• This product does not contain parabens which is really cool. Parabens might cause cancer.
• It formulated without using the harmful ingredients like silicone,mineral oils and paraffins.It's really nice that these components have not been used in this charcoal clay mask...yay (Y)
• Tea-tree oil promotes glowing skin and prevents acne
• This product is really good for people with acne-prone or troubled skin-type
• The best part of this product is that you can use it without being too messy!Easy- application and easy to remove.

"Green tea has anti-aging and antioxidant benefits that can help delay signs of skin aging, such as sagging-skin, sun-damage, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. The polyphenols in green tea help neutralize harmful free radicals, which can cause significant damage to the skin and accelerate the aging process."Source : www.top10homeremedies.com

Tea tree oil may be effective in a variety of dermatologic conditions, including dandruff, acne, lice, herpes etc

Sebaceous glands are microscopic exocrine glands in the skin that secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair of mammals.

Cons:

• Strong tea-tree smell might be a problem for some people with a very sensitive nose.
• Very pricey product.But,I guess the ingredients are very nice and expensive which might be the main reason for this.
• Tub-packaging allows product contamination easily.Use spatula or a mask-brush to apply the product instead of fingers.

Overall,I really like this charcoal clay mask.It leaves my skin squeaky clean ,fresh and glowy every time I use it.The product is not harsh and I didn't experience any burns or rashes after using the mud mask.

My skin tends to get oily during summers.That's the reason why I picked this product. Regular usage of the product has helped in calming down the mild skin irritations that were caused due to sun-exposure.Also,my skin gets a little less oily after using this product.

Didn't show any sort of pore-tightening effect as such though.I don't regret buying this product as it really did what it claimed except the pore-tightening claim.

Having said that,I highly suggest this product to normal to oily skin people as this product keeps the sebum/oil in control to a great extent.If you have an oily T-zone(area near your nose and fore-head),then I suggest trying out this mask.Must try.I am loving it.

For people with extremely dry skin,this product might rip off the essential oils from the face causing further skin-issues or stretchy skin.Please do a patch-test before purchasing this clay-mud mask.Read the ingredients carefully before purchasing.In case you are allergic to any of the ingredients,refrain from purchasing the product.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes.

Rating: 4/5

Availability:
Available in India, UAE @The Body Shop's official stores/online portal etc.

Have you tried this product? What's your opinion about this face-mask? Do share.

P.S. I tried this product for about a month prior to doing a full-fledged review.

Let's get started!

• Seasonal Early-Harvest Raspberry scent
• Removes dead skin cells
• Massage on to stimulate skin micro-circulation
• Leaves skin feeling softer and smoother

                                             

In Pic : Early Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub's outer-packaging

Quantity : 200 ml /7.2 oz / 206g

How to use?
Apply to damp skin in a circular motion, then rinse thoroughly. Use two to three times a week.

My Experience:
Packaging:

The product comes in a plastic tub.The theme of the packaging is raspberry as the product is made up of raspberry-fruit-extracts.All the details such as product-quantity,shelf-life etc are mentioned on the tub-packaging.Ingredients are mentioned on the official site of The Body Shop though.The body is made up of transparent-plastic .The twist-open lid is made up of opaque deep wine-pink coloured plastic.In case we are running out of the product we can easily check that out through the transparent body of the tub.Cool!The packaging is very sturdy ,compact and travel-friendly.I love the packaging.

                                               

Formula & Texture:

Oh my god!Just look at the ingredient-list.The raspberry body scrub is made up mainly of water,glycerin,castor oil,walnut-shell powder,raspberry-seed,honey,raspberry-fruit-extract.I love these ingredients.Glycerin,castor oil ,honey are supposed to keep our skin moisturized.Walnut-shell powder and raspberry seeds are meant to exfoliate the skin.The red coloured product has semi-gel like consistency.The body scrub smells nice and looks like raspberry jam...yummy:).It's not runny or too thick.Not sticky in any way. Adheres to the skin very well.

                                             

In Pic: Tub-packaging of the body scrub

In Pic: Shown the texture of the early harvest raspberry body scrub

Effective?
Yes

• First of all as we open the tub,the smell of fresh raspberries just spreads all over the place
• The fragrance of the product is very strong and I love the smell of raspberries
• Apply the body scrub on the damp skin and rub well in circular motions.
• It works well as claimed.Leaves the skin soft and smooth.
• The body scrub is not greasy at all and works well on dry and damp skin not on wet skin
• Leaves no cast on the skin after usage
• The scrub is not harsh on the skin and exfoliates skin well and removes dead skin-cells nicely
• Even after we are done with scrubbing,the skin smells of raspberries which is really cool!
• Of course,after using the raspberry body scrub ,the skin feels a tad bit dry but,not stretchy.Use moisturizer

Cons:

• Tub-packaging allows product-contamination.Use a spatula to apply the product onto your skin.
• Like most of the scrubs it leaves the skin a little dry and we definitely need to apply moisturizer after using this scrub
• In case you do not like strong smell of raspberries,skip purchasing this product(suggestion)
• Quantity is less according to the price being paid

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,definitely.Love the product's raspberry-fragrance and the product is effective too.

Overall,I really love this body scrub and would recommend it to you in case you are looking for an effective body scrub.Suitable for all skin types but,specially best for normal to dry skin types.Use this body scrub thrice a week to see it's effect.The product will last for about two months if used two to three times a week.

Formula & Texture:

• The formula is not very runny or thin.I actually like the consistency of the product.
• Product is very pigmented and gives full coverage to the nails in two coats.Do not layer up the nail-polish it will start looking patchy and gloopy on the nails
• The formula is nice and the nail-paint has a satin and elegant-looking finish

Longevity:
The nail-polish lasted for about five days straight.After that it started chipping off from the tip of the nails slightly.Glossiness of the nail paint was still there intact(98%) even after five days.Of course the sheen had faded(2%) just a little bit after five days ,but, nothing to bother as such.I am happy with the formula of the nail-polish.

Cons:
Nothing

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,surely.

My Experience:

My skin type:Normal to dry

Packaging:

• The shower-cream body wash comes in a bottel-packaging that has a flip-open lid
• The bottle is made up of plastic and the product can be seen through it.So,we can easily check out if the product is getting over or not and re-stock
• Bottle needs to be squeezed in order to use the product
• The bottle is very much travel-friendly
• The packaging is done nicely and all the product-details are mentioned on the bottle itself like the ingredients,shelf-life etc

                                     


Formula & Texture:

• The body shower-cream has a creamy-consistency.Kind of runny unlike other usual
  shower-gels in the market because it's a cream-based body-cleanser
• The product is of cream-colour
• The shower-cream has a mild shea-butter-caramelly kind of fragrance which is pleasant...I love it
• The shower-cream doesn't lather up much and this is because it is soap-free,which is good thing
• It is very different from other shower-gel body-cleansers that I have used so far...very nourishing...can feel the difference instantly right after first-usage!!!😇

                                       

Effective?

• Yes,this shower-cream cleanses the skin well
• It leaves skin silky-smooth and nourished because of the key ingredients shea-butter and sesame oil...simply amazing
• Although, I use a body-lotion post shower,but,still this product is very nice and haven't experienced skin-dryness after using this shower-cream
• Keeps skin healthy,no flakiness or irritation etc... isn't that awesome?
• Very suitable for people with dry skin-type ...this product is a bliss!

Con:
Nothing


Will I re-purchase?
Yes,definitely!

Note:

Product in one bottle lasts for a month or 1.5 months approximately.As the product is soap-free and won't lather-up much(which I am ok with), we need to squeeze-out more product than usual amount of a shower-gel.

My Experience:

I love the raspberry-pink colour in general and that's why I purchased this lipstick.

Packaging:

The lipsticks in this collection have been uniquely named.For e.g. Goa Magnolia,Paris Peony,Mauritius Dahilia and so on...interesting!👍

*The lipstick comes in a coloured plastic tube with matte-black lid.

*The tube's colour matches the colour of the lipstick.

*All the details about the quantity,shade-name,number and shelf-life etc are mentioned on the lipstick-tube.

*It has a doe-foot applicator which helps in easy application of the product on lips

                                          

Formula & texture:                                                                          

*It has a moussy-texture

*The lipstick has a velvet-matte-finish initially

*It takes time to dry,about two-minutes
and dries-down to a complete-matte finish

*Very lightweight

*Highly pigmented and really comfortable on lips

*It  keeps the lips hydrated

*It hides pigmentation on lips(if any)...one to two swipes are enough

*Layering up the product is not an issue

*100% vegetarian,no gluten,no carmine...great!

Staying-Period:

*It lasts for approx four to five hours without heavy meals

*Fades away evenly

Product-removal:

Lipsticks in this collection are highly water-resistant.Use a good makeup remover to remove the lipstick from your lips.

Con
*No SPF mentioned

Usually,liquid lipsticks tend to dry-out the lips because of the formulation,but,this lipstick is really well formulated.Lips don't feel dried-up badly.

It doesn't get transferred and survives light meals...cool!

Overall I like this liquid-lipstick,the lipcolour is beautiful.You must check out the entire collection.
There are nudes,bold reds and pinks and an orange shade as well.

Highly recommend!

Tips:
*Avoid oily food,else it will start transferring everywhere

*Always exfoliate your lips well in advance before applying any liquid lipstick.Apply lip balm.
