Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil is an old love. And, again this time around, I loved using it.

I love using body oils, especially in the shower itself. The steam helps the oil gets absorbed really quickly and keeps the skin really well-moisturized. I am not able to recall how I learned this trick but it works like a charm. I urge you to try it.

Still smells like roses and jasmine, the fragrance is delicate and does not hurt the nose. Neither does the fragrance lingers long enough on the skin. The delicate scent of Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil comes from essential oils than from any synthetic additives.

What I love about Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil is that it is a dry oil. The moment you spread the oil on your palms and apply it on the skin, it gets absorbed. There is no oiliness or stickiness left behind and the moisturization lasts almost 6-8 hours at the minimum.

One interesting thing to note is the change in the packaging. Earlier, I had complained about the bottle not having a stopper so this time around, they have a stopper with a cap to plug the hole in whenever you are closing the bottle to prevent leakage. I would still not call it travel-friendly or say the packaging is premium but a small improvement from before.

Definitely, the prices have risen for Kama overall in the last few years but I still feel this is a bit more reasonably priced than a few other products from the same brand. In 2015, the price of the rose jasmine body oil was Rs 795 and now it is priced at Rs 1350. Not really inexpensive but worth trying out once if you do have the budget for it.

Huh…just in case if you have been wondering where did I disappear? Well, it turns out that my life has to be on the go instead of the pre-planned I always prefer. We had to go somewhere but getting the visa took time and then tickets had just sky rocketed. And, since we had availed the leaves, we decided to go some other place for which we had to wait like 7 days to get the visa and we did not have the passports till the day we were flying. And, then, the tickets were booked on the same day and then we flew adhoc!

How was Malaysia?

I was, in fact, thinking of starting a travel diary series to document all my travels. For the interested, we do not prefer packages. We prefer to roam around the city at our own sweet pace even if we do not cover the entire place. That is a excuse to visit the place again 🙂

Anyways, Malaysia was awesome except for the extreme weather it faces. It would be really hot sunny day and the next hour it would be raining cats and dogs. I shall do a complete write-up of the trip in another post coz we had such a gala time. Honestly, we did not really go around much but we were soooooo tired from the trip!

Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

If you are a regular reader on the blog, you would know that I am a die-hard fan of Garnier Pore Unclogging face wash even though it has SLS. On my last trip to the supermarket, I was searching for another face wash which my skin would love and I picked up this Pure Active Neem one thinking it would be just the same and more over it was in a buy 2 get 1 offer. Bad idea to buy things for the first time in such offers!!

Anyways, needless to say the product disappointed me a lot. Why? Let us check out.
