Hey Everyone! Well, I am back. Seems like there is a non-stop flow of activity in my family since almost March. March, May, July, August, September, October, November and then February. I have never really been this busy with family EVER! It is exhausting and add all the travelling and no wonder I am draining out!

I really have to be on top of things so that I do not abandon the blog whenever I have to disappear. Btw, it is dad’s birthday in a couple of days and I am thinking of gifting him Forest Essentials Date ad Litchi Anti-Ageing Cream. He loves skin care and yes I inherited it. And, this way, I also get to try the product and give out a review of it 😉

And, back to the review. I have always been a super huge fan of Kama products! Not doubt they are damn expensive and I have not really explored their whole range either. I have just used their Vetiver Water, Rose and Jasmine body oil and that’s it! Holy, not that less. Even I did not realize I had not used any of their other products. Though, I do have many of their essential oils.

So, this time when I went to their outlet, I was disappointed to know that their Rose and Jasmine body oil was out of circulation. I am a huge fan of the product because of its delicate rose fragrance. Since there was no other option, I got the Ginger and Lily body oil. But, I am not really disappointed either!

Kama Ayurveda Amber Ginger & Lily Bath and Body Oil Product Review

Essentials

Price : Rs 725 for 100ml (expensive!)

Availability : Kama outlets + Online Website

Packaging : Not really travel-friendly I would say. And, I have to add that I do not like the packaging either. It is a thick plastic bottle which comes with just a screw cap, it is not a flip top neither does it have a stopper on its mouth. So, you have to pour the product on your palm and regulate the quantity there by.

Texture : Oil feels a bit thick but not very thick, spreads easily. The feel of the oil does not have a lot of slip to it unless you take a lot.

Forest Essentials Tranquil Sleep and Stress Relief Combo Product Review

I got these products in my last year stay at ITC for our anniversary. Then, I checked out if these products are available in the stores as well or if they were just specially packed for the hotel. Turns out they are available on the online store here but I have no idea about the outlets.

A special mention here for the ITC guys. They had assisted Mr. P in such a wonderful and helpful manner and gave us the most amazing anniversary surprise. As such I do love ITC hotels for their hospitality and food. You must definitely try out their Kebabs and Kurries restaurant in ITC Grand Hyderabad.

Anyways, getting back to the review, I have been trying these products since then on and off. Just in case, you are still confused about the products, these are essential oil blend sprays to address stress and sleep disorder issues. So, let us check out whether they do address the issues or not!

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil

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.
