3 Personal Favorites from Forest Essentials

Swathy · May 25, 2018 · 4 Comments

I finished using the forest essentials hair vitalizer serum just this week and that reminded me that I could probably share my best products from Forest Essentials just like I did with Kama last week. Recently, I did quite a few product reviews from the brand and almost all of them are a huge hit for me.

In fact, I can not wait to buy the tejasvi emulsion but I am holding my horses because of the cost and also because I am getting a few other amazing products which I am dying to try. Yeah, I did my first international online shopping this month! And, man, is it not easy to spend money when the shipping is free? I hope the customs also gets free though 🙂

Oh by the bye, regarding the hair vitalizer serum from the brand, I am not a fan at all. I prefer the Biotique mountain ebony which is way cheaper and also it did give better results. Forest essentials hair vitalizer serum also smells strong and the fragrance stays for almost a day which is really difficult to bear for my nose. Overall, I would say you can skip it though I know it has rave reviews all over the internet. Anyways, so let me share my favorites from the brand.

5 Personal Favorites from The Body Shop

Swathy · May 18, 2018 · 6 Comments

I remember the first time I came across The Body Shop products, I found the brand too expensive (that was in 2011). I did my first haul then and after that I did not revisit the brand till they launches Oils of Life. Since then, and more so because my father discovered the body shop body butters, I have become a pretty regular customer of the brand. Okay, yes, their body butters are definitely worth a try but I did like a few others as well. So, check out my favorites from the brand.

The Body Shop Wooden Detangling Comb (review)

This has been a favorite of mine since my first haul though I got another set of combs from a different brand which I am liking even more. If you have not been using a wooden comb, you have to give it a try and see the difference for yourself. The only problem is that you have to dry it off immediately after washing it or the water makes the wood bloated and brittle. Also, be careful not to drop it as it can break. In the last seven years (since 2011 February), I think I got three combs but if you are careful they are long lasting.

The Body Shop Cactus Brush (review)

Another favorite but I use this as a dry brush. I have had one since last seven years and I try to use it religiously. You have to make dry brushing your routine, if you have not yet tried it out. It helps your lose weight, makes your skin more softer and gets rid of the dry and itchy patches. There would be other brushes in the market which are a lot less expensive but I still like this one for its bristles. They are hard and give a good brushing to the body and wakes it up like nothing else. You can literally see your skin glow.

Do you need to wash your face in the Morning?

Updated from 19th September, 2015. After a long long time, I am back with a skin care post. Yea!! I do have a lot of good news in my kitty but I shall go slow this time. I do not want to overwhelm myself 😀 So, yeah, lets go back to do you really wash your face in the morning or more correctly does your face need a wash in the morning?

Well, I am sure you obviously wash it! You would rather ask me if I had gone mad!!

Anyways, you remember the huge and awesome haul I shared with you a few weeks back from my Malaysia trip 🙂 I am still so excited about it that I am not able to decide what to use and when? Just yesterday, I tried out the SKII facial treatment mask (best part of a sheet mask is you do not have to wash your face later) and boy they are expensive as hell!!! So, was it worth it? No, I do not know. I still have 5 more and I would like to do a detailed review. Anyways, why am I even talking about masks?

Night Time Skin Care Routine

Yeah, right, I was talking about washing face in the morning. Now, let me just go back a little and talk about your night time skin care routine. So, what exactly do you do? Cleanse off your makeup, wash your face, tone it (optional) and moisturize. So, are you one who just prefers a single layer of one product or go with multiple products. Whatever the case be, you do cleanse your face properly at night, right? Then the question arises that what do you do in the morning?

You really do not have to wash your face in the morning but you need to clean the skin to get rid of all the dead skin cells and previous night skin care residue.
