Le Beurre Shea Butter Face Cream and Lip Balm product review

Long time back, I had ordered cocoa butter because I wanted to create my own face cream and body creams minus all the other useless ingredients. That cocoa butter is still lying in my fridge but I was contacted by this company to review the products and jumped at the offer. What could be better than using the natural products, right? So, let us see how did they fare in my review!

Shea Butter Face Cream

Price: 12$ for 2oz

No smell at all.

Packaging not really great. In fact the labels also get dissolved if the shea butter melts on it.

Moisturizes well. Shea Butter is awesome. In fact, it made my skin look glowing and hydrated even if no exfoliation was done!

Ingredients not mentioned.

Does not travel well. The cream can melt in tropical temperatures and leak!

A small quantity is enough. Otherwise, it will make the face look oily. And, it is definitely a winter or dry season product.

Not suited for oily skin.

Moisturises well. Shea Butter is awesome. Lips look pink and beautiful.

Absolutely travel-friendly

Overall Verdict

Totally love the lip butter. Definitely recommended! For face cream, I had only a sample size so can not really comment more.

Loving / Using It Vol. 6 – Vaadi Herbals Chandan Kesar Haldi Face Pack

Swathy · September 2, 2014 · 2 Comments

If I have to compile a list of products I would like to use, face pack would generally rank at the bottom. I am restless and keeping on a thick layer of mask on my face sans the specs is really difficult for me coz I can really not do anything else in that time.

So, reviewing this was a lot easier. In fact, while using this product, I did not use anything except for a face wash and sometimes used to skimp on the moisturizer as well. So, let us get on with how this product performed on me!!

Price. Rs 90

Easy to Apply. The product is light in consistency and texture so spreads easily on the skin. Always apply masks on a slightly damp skin. Water helps absorb the products. But, as always, clay products are best removed just before they are completely dry.

Brightens the Skin. Instantly brightens and leaves the skin soft after removal. No stretchy feeling. Regarding absorption of oil on the skin, I am not sure how much it is effective as I had dry skin this time. The results last only for a day or two depending on your exposure to sun and pollution.

Ingredient List not specified. Like the cuticle oil, the ingredient list is missing.

Overall Verdict

It is worth one try and probably can be used almost everyday.

Biotique Bio Clove Purifying Anti-blemish Face Pack for oily & acne prone skin {Product Review}

Swathy · November 15, 2013 · 8 Comments

I have always voted up for Biotique face packs and this one is no different. I love the color and the texture of the product. Its a bit grainy and goes smoothly over damp skin as all other face packs do. Btw, do you remember the tip that anything gets absorbed better on damp skin – moisturizer, serums or face packs!

Pros

leaves the skin smooth and a bit radiant

does help with tan and blemishes but only just so

suits dry skin as well in summers

can not find any con per se

The mask takes a good 15-20 minutes to dry off if you have applied a thick layer. Removing the mask is not really easy just like other masks but using a wash cloth made it little better. Also, make sure that the wash cloth is soft enough otherwise you can end up harming your skin.

After removal, one can see a little brightening of the face. Over the course of time if you use it, it helps with blemishes but it does help with tan. Also, the mask can be used daily as well but in such a case, the mask should be kept till it is just dry and washed off so that you do not have to scrub it off the face. Everyday scrubbing is not good!

Ingredient List

Also, whether it helps with acne or oily skin is something I can not comment on but yes it does suit dry skin unless you are using in winters which I did not do so I have no idea how it fares in dry weather. But, overall, I would say it is worth a try and easily available.

Price: Rs 199 for 85 gms
