Forest Essentials

Beauty Products I am Disappointed With

Swathy · December 19, 2016 · 6 Comments

Do you not hate when you buy beauty products and they do not do what is expected of them? It hurts worse when they are so expensive! These are a few beauty products I have been using for the past few months, both expensive and inexpensive, which sucked for me, literally. So, lets start.

Forest Essentials Facial Cleanser Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rosewater

Price : Rs 1,075 for 200ml

I have already reviewed this product but that was way before my skin care troubles. And, that is when I realized the face wash was not really cleaning my skin properly.

So, yes, it is a bad face wash for evening and clogs the pores. I would say avoid all the face washes from natural brands. Seems like a universal problem.

Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser

Price : Rs 499 for 200ml

Similar to the above face wash, this product was too gentle for a deep cleansing routine. So, again a huge disappointment from a brand which usually does not fail.

Vichy Purete Thermale Micellar Water

Price : Rs 990 for 200ml

Forest Essentials Facial Cleanser Mashobra Honey, Lemon & Rosewater Product Review

Today I am reviewing the forest essentials facial cleanser. But, before that, let me share I did something with you.

I finally got to visit Charminar on Ramzan night. And, it was fabulous. There is jostling and pushing and everything but nothing could beat the lights and merriment and the famous Nimrah Cafe’s irani chai and osmania biscuits. It is a experience which should be done every year!!

Anyways, coming back to the forest essentials facial cleanser, I am double minded about it even after using for 3-4 months.

Skin Type, Texture and Fragrance

This face wash is meant for dry and normal skin.

Forest Essentials facial cleanser comes in two fragrances – rose and neem. I suppose. I like Mashobra honey range of products with them for their amazing fragrance specially their body oil. It is heavenly.

Forest Essentials Silken Dusting/Talcum Powder Product Review

This talcum powder has to be one of the star products from Forest Essentials. I had to get this for my other half. Mr. P. just loves deodorants and I got him off them with a lot of difficulty so I had to compensate somehow.

The first time I got this (in February), I got Nargis fragrance which is too floral for males. This time I got the Oudh and Green Tea which is soothing and masculine enough.

Fragrance and Product Texture

The product comes in four different fragrances. I have tried only Nargis and Green Tea.

In my opinion, Nargis is too floral and strong and lingers everywhere till almost the next day. It will be bothersome for delicate noses. Where as, Oudh and Green Tea is perfect for everyone, male and female. With subtle and not overpowering fragrance, it is a delight to use. The scent also does not linger long unless you get too close to the subject.
