Biotique Bio Honey Gel {Product Review}

Swathy · November 18, 2011 · 10 Comments

In my quest for a natural or herbal face wash, this was one of my tries. So, lets see how it went?

Price: Rs 149 for 120ml
Ingredients

 

My Experience

The USP of this product for me was the absence of SLS. The cleanser is pink in color as you can see and has an artificial fragrance. The consistency of the product is like a gel – neither too runny nor too thick. Now, how it cleanses? I have noticed that it cleanses the face very well and keeps the skin really soft. It doesn’t cause your skin to dry out but you do need moisturizer afterwards. The major advantage is that it does help keep the blackheads at bay.

Now, a major disadvantage of the product is that it leaves a film behind and the skin feels slippery when you are trying to wash off the face wash which takes a lot of time to get rid of and wastes a lot of water too. Warm water does a better job at washing off the face wash. Otherwise, it is a really good product.

Now, I do not think I noticed any lightening of the complexion so nothing on those grounds. And, it doesn’t leak while traveling even though it has a wide mouth but it does make more quantity come out of the bottle which is very irritating.

My Recommendation
If you do not mind the slippery feeling, it is definitely a must try!!!

Nivea Repair and Protection {Product Review}

Swathy · November 17, 2011 · 2 Comments

Price: Rs 140 (approx) for 4.8gms

Ingredients

 

My Experience
I needed an un-tinted lip balm for regular usage so I got this one.So, did I really like it? Well, I would say that it does protect the lips from sun. This one comes with spf 15. So, that’s a plus. But, I don’t really understand the claims of strengthening the lips so I shall limit the claims to repairing and protecting the lips especially sensitive lips.First of all, I would say that it is hard to apply on the lips and doesn’t glide as easily as other Nivea lip balms. And, regarding the moisturization, I thought that it does keep lips soft but it stays on the lips and the lips feel heavy which is a very irritating in case of lip balms. And, I didn’t really think it stays for too long too. So, as far as my experience is, I am not very happy with this one. I would say that the Hydrocare from Nivea is better than this one.

I have just put my experience in front of you and I leave the decision on you now 🙂Also read other review from the same brand:

Get soft lips this winter {Lip Care}

Swathy · November 15, 2011 · 1 Comment

Some remedies I read in a magazine so check them out:
  • Rub cucumber slices on your lips.
  • Aloevera gel also works wonders to keep the lips soft.
  • Neem leaves juice is good at controlling chapped and bleeding lips so try this out.
  • And, the very own remedy – “shuddh desi ghee” which keeps the lips soft, pink and beautiful.
So, go ahead and try out these remedies and do not forget to drink lots and lots of water in the winters to keep your lips beautiful. Also, check out this lip scrub to keep away the tanning and do not forget to apply sunscreen regularly on the lips too.
