Vichy Bi White Med Emulsion Product Review

Swathy · May 23, 2016 · 2 Comments

As much as I am against whitening products, I gave the vichy bi white med emulsion a try! I was searching for an extremely light moisturizer when the sales girl in New U asked me to give this try.

Have you ever been afraid of entering a shop just for the fear of being pestered by sales people? I often feel the same when entering the said shop!!

Anyways, coming back to the product, I am so glad that I took the SA’s advice. It is one of the best moisturizers for oily and combination skin or when you need something extremely light or if you like to layer your products!

It is light and absolutely perfect as a light-weight product. Nothing more than that.

Skin Type, Fragrance and Product Texture

Suits all kinds of skin including dry. Oily, combination, normal, dry, sensitive, all skin types. It is also best for layering your products as the texture of the product is extremely light and gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy. It does NOT have any specific fragrance.

Price Tag and Worth

Price : Rs 2000 for 50ml

Some Random Product Reviews – The Body Shop Disappointments

Swathy · May 20, 2016 · 2 Comments

When a product fails to live up to its expectations, inexpensive or not, we do get a little upset with the brand overall. Somehow, this happens with me on a regular basis with The Body Shop. Let me tell you why?

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil

Price : Rs 1795 for 125ml

My Experience

First. The product has a long list of ingredients but I was disappointed to find silicones in it!

Secondly, I hate the packaging. It comes with a spray pump which dispenses just enough of product. For me, this pump did not work properly after day one. May be it is a batch issue. I have to open the pump and pour out the product. Another issue is that the product dries off around the cap which looks really bad in the long run.

The Book Corner Vol. 8 – 5 of my favourite Georgette Heyer Books

You cocooned in a comforter, a blanket of snow covering everything outside, flakes still dancing in the wind, hot cocoa in your favourite mug on your bedside table and a book in your hand. Ever fantasized something like this?

I always do! I would love to read a Georgette Heyer at such a time. Her books are light reads and funny as hell and witty and sarcastic and biting. Here are my 5 favourites from Gerogetter Heyer books. Some of them are tied up!

Sylvester (Read it here)

You would fall in love with Phoebe and Tom. Their escapades at the Blue Boar are hilarious.

Frederica (Read it here)

It is not as much about Marquis of Alverstoke as much it is about the family of Merrivilles, especially Frederica, Jessamy and Felix. Felix is adorable as hell and you would love to have brother like him!
