Earthy Goods Vanilla Patchouli Indulging Handmade Soap {Product Review}

· · 11 Comments

Price: Rs 95 for 100gms (approx.)

Ingredients

Pros
– smell is incredible and uplifting. 
– moisturizing and doesn’t leave the skin stretched.  
– love that its a natural soap and has amazing ingredients.
– feels luxurious 🙂
Cons
– Palm Oil comes from Palm trees which are getting endangered. 
– I don’t know if the ingredients are organic.
– melts very soon 🙁
– the sandalwood powder on one face of the soap bar is very scratchy!!!
My Experience

I love their soaps. They are amazing, moisturizing and smell awesome while they last. My dad also fell in love with the soap. But, yes, one side of this soap has vanilla swirls which are topped with sandalwood powder or may be vanilla bean powder too (it felt like that to me). But, its pretty scratchy on the skin 🙁 
Otherwise, I would recommend all the Earthy Goods soaps. You should definitely check them out!! I am in love with handmade soaps and am not gonna switch back to the commercially available ones anytime in the future now. Yes, the only problem with handmade soaps is that they melt very easily 🙁

More Gossip!!

· · 15 Comments

Ok, so, I am in no position to do a post today so thought I shall just post a little more of gossip 😀 I hope you don’t get bored of it. Actually, I am returning by tomorrow morning’s train. Yeah, I know, its so tiring and flights are way too easy but then the cost as well adds up so I thought I would rather spend the remainder on clothes or shoes 😀 Worst thing that my wait list is not yet confirmed 🙁 I am just hoping for the best otherwise I have Rajdhani to rely on or otherwise a flight!! UPDATE: I am going by flight and there goes my plan of shopping 🙁
Oh btw, I got Tresmode today, yay!!! Finally, I got peep-toe sandals of my size. Oh yes, footwear is a huge headache for me as I love only flats (my balance is too bad for even a one inch heel if its not a platform)!! And, my size is 3, can you imagine??? Sometimes, I have to shop from kids section!! And, most of the times, the salesman are staring at me that I have such small feet..I am like give me a break!!! So, I have got huge huge haul to share with you guys 🙂 And, yes, I am gonna announce the Aloe Veda winners soon as well after I get confirmation from the PR people.
Btw, for all the would-be brides, I have an advise or a product recommendation as you would like to take it. Forest Essentials Bath & Shower Oils. Yeah, they have four fragrances – Tuberose or rose (not sure), Mashobra Honey and Vanilla, Sandalwood (I guess) and one more. And, all smell divine. I got Tuberose one and Mashobra Honey both. And, whenever I smell them, I die and go to heaven 😀 Yes, they are expensive with around 1000 bucks for 100ml. But, an absolute luxury. So, give your body a treat for your special days 🙂 Chalo, see ya then from Hyderabad. Au Revoir.

Aloeveda Moisturising Bathing Bar Indian Khus with Kewda Extracts {Product Review}

· · 2 Comments

Price: Rs 65 for 100gms

Ingredients
Aloeveda Soap @ Perfect Skin Care for you
Soap noodles transparent (80%), Merquat Plus 3330, Sodium PCA (3%), Sorbitol (2%), Aloevera Gel (2%), Vitamin E, Green Paste, Indian Khus with Kewda extracts.
Pros
– it smells really good!! I don’t know if its Kewda smell or what but if that’s what Kewda smells like, I would love to get an attar of Kewda (I don’t know what Kewda is but I do know that its one of the most famous perfume fragrances of India).
Cons
– it doesn’t do well on the moisturizing front but then it doesn’t really leave the skin scaly dry either so its good for summers. 
– I personally don’t like transparent soaps (so this is not exactly a con).

PS: Product sent by brand.
