Dove Go Fresh Face Wash

Price: Rs 150 for 100gms (approx.)

My Experience

The product is pearly white in color and smells really orangey and fresh. It is specifically for oily skin so in the yes, it did give me dry patches when I was in Delhi. But, in Hyderabad, its going on fine.

Its not making my skin dry or stretched or anything. But, it doesn’t do anything for the blackheads. Its specifically for summers, what I felt and anyway my skin is combi-dry so probably not a good product to suit me.

Lass Naturals Rose & Honey Soap Free Face Wash

Price: Rs 135 for 100gms (that’s approx!)

My Experience

Ok, so this is an unheard brand for many of you but it has been there on my shelf and in the market for quite a long time. have in fact used this product long long back in January. But, its a worth mentioning product.

It smells of roses and the ingredients are all natural or would say skin-friendly and it has Sodium Benzoate for preservative for those who don’t like parabens for whatever reason!!

Anyways, getting on to the product, its thick and gelatin-y in texture. It foams decently and cleanses really well. It doesn’t dry the skin and leaves it soft enough and didn’t stretch my skin in that winter month.

It lasted me for a month so the price and quantity is decent. The only issue I found with the brand was that the packaging wasn’t good at that time. But, I think they would have improved on that by now. I would definitely say that its a good product to try out!!

Auravedic Restructuring Hair Oil with Bitter Orange and Lemon

Price: Rs 250 for 100ml

My Experience

I don’t really have much to say about this oil, unfortunately 🙁 It was a very thrilling buy for me but the product turned out to be really flat. Its a thin colourless oil which smells of lemon, more or less.

It is light so should be washed off easily but the problem is that I apply a LOTT of oil so it didn’t get washed off completely which was a surprise for me!! As such, I didn’t find it do anything special for my hair, either!!!

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow

My Experience

Ok, my experience is not much so I am not officially reviewing it but its definitely a product to look forward to!!! I have used for, what, 3-4 days. And, my skin was soft, moisturized and not dry for a decently long time, till my next bath which is like in the evening or night!!

A habit which my mom really detests and she says I caught cold coz I have bath at really weird time 😀 Moms and their complaints!! Anyways, the only problem with the product is it gets sticky if your over-apply. Otherwise, it smells yummy!! Almost like the Vanilla Body Butter by TBS which I got for dad.

The Body Shop Vanilla Body Butter Duo

My Experience

Again very less experience with the product so not a review exactly. But, it smells yummy!!! And, as the name says it has two compartments – one is creamy and not very thick which gets absorbed really quickly and the other is a little heavy but it also gets absorbed quickly enough.

I used the product by mixing both the compartments which gave me a good moisturizing. And, its not greasy either. And, the smell is what lasts with you. My dad has stored it for special occasions looking at the price tag 😀 And, yes, he loved it as well.

Nivea Creme

My Experience

Totally love this. I mean if you get a chance to go to Germany, don’t forget to get the Nivea products from there. Nivea is a German brand and Europe has a quite strict policies of skin care products so their products are really amazing. Its not greasy at all and helps with dry patches.

What do you like on Television?

Swathy · November 24, 2012 · 15 Comments

So, I was at home last week and saw a LOTTTTTTTT of TV. Yup, not that great an idea but television is like always on at our house whether anyone watches it or not!! And, I watched literally everything.

Star Plus is always running on here, same was the case there. And, our Tata Sky doesn’t have english movie channel package 🙁 Even Harry Potter was coming in Hindi and there was a real hilarious translation 😀 Ok, lemme narrate that to you!!

It was Harry Potter – The Goblet of Fire movie when Harry and Ron end up fighting because Ron thinks Harry went and dropped his own name for the Triwizard Tournament without telling Ron about it. The fist test was fighting with dragons which Ron comes to know through his brother Charlie and wanted to convey the message to Harry but since they are not on speaking terms, he uses Hermione. Hermione gets confused and ends up conveying only the last part of the intended message and when Harry tries conveying his message back, Hermione shouts back so this is what she says in Hindi!!
Hermione : Main ullo nahi hun (I am not an Owl).

I don’t know you found that excerpt funny or not but it was damn funny while watching it 😀 Anyways, what I totally love watching is Crime Patrol. Whoa, you should have seen the Euthnasia case which was aired a few days back.

It was an acid burn case resulting from eve teasing and it was heart wrenching. They air all the real police cases – solved or unsolved. And, it really makes me thankful for the safe life I have led whether alone or with parents!!

Have you watched it? If yes, how do you like it?
