Vichy Thermal Spa Water vs Kama Vetiver Water

Swathy · May 26, 2016 · 4 Comments

Do you like using toners or face mists? Earlier I was not so sure but after using these two products for the last few months, I am totally in love with them, especially the Vichy Thermal Spa Water for its misting action.You have to experience it!

Though, I can not use them in this humidity. Hyderabad has the best weather at all times except from March to May. But, this year, it was so hot since February that we had early spells of rain storms, literally, from the first week of May causing higher humidity than regular times. Worse still, the rain storms are causing the transformer problems in our area causing regular electricity cuts. Life is so difficult if we do not have easy access to internet, right 😉

Btw, do you watch Game of Thrones? I HODOR it 🙂

Vichy Thermal Spa Water

Price : Rs 650 for 150ml

My Experience

Packaging. I love the metal bottle with readable brand font and graphics. It is really easy to snap! The nozzle sprays the toner evenly on the skin. It is quite refreshing to spray it on your face.

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.

Vichy Bi White Med Deep Corrective Whitening Emulsion Product Review

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.
