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.

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser Product Review

#DidYouKnow one of the principles of Feng Shui for a therapeutic bathroom is to indulge in amazing aromatherapy. You should definitely splurge on personal care products which you would love to use.

Your day care products must be rich in invigorating and revitalizing scents where as your night time products should be soothing and de-stressing.

Following this very example, I got this face wash from Kama which I was almost sure I would love. I had used the same range of body oil which I would heartily recommend you to try if you love roses.

Skin Type

Since it has an oily base, I think it would be more suitable for normal to dry to sensitive and mature skin. I am not sure how it would be with oily skin. You might want to test it before you get it.

Price Tag and Worth

Price : Rs 540 for 100ml

The price tag is definitely on the higher side but it lasts long enough to justify the expense.

Fragrance

The face wash has the same fragrance as the body oil – rich in roses and not jasmine, very soothing and faintly lingering but not overpowering.

H20 plus Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment Product Review

Swathy · January 27, 2016 · 2 Comments

H20 plus Face Oasis reminds me of the crystal clear waters of the Kilim Geoforest Park in Langkawi. The marine smell and the appealing aquamarine blue of the product with its watery texture serves up to its claims. I had spotted this product for the first time on My Women Stuff and was obsessed with getting it.

H20 plus is easily available in India and you can get it at any counter in Shopper’s Stop so let that not deter you if you are satisfied with the review. Why did I get this?

For a very long time, I have been looking around for a light and hydrating moisturiser. Ever since I have come to recognize that most of the dry skin is because of dehydration, I have become even more particular about my products.

Now, that I am touching 30 in a few days, I have felt the difference in my skin as well. Whether it is due to the dryness of winters or hormonal changes inside my body, I want to do everything right for my skin. And, hydration is on top of my list followed by moisturization.
