L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfect product preview

So, last month, I was sent this really chic package with couple of products for different age groups. It is a basically a customized skin care line for different age groups depending on their skin quality and needs. And, first impressions are last impressions. The packaging is very interesting!

Who used the products?

Yes, I shall keep the products as a surprise for you all to guess. But, we can start with what we felt in the initial usage. I used one age group product and gave Mr. P the other one. And, the last one I gave to my dad!

How did we feel?

So, let me say that Mr. P loved the product. He says it brings a glow on the face and yes it does! This stands true for both the products we tried.

My dad has not yet got back with his opinion because he looks more for wrinkle removal than the even tone and fairness part. But, yup, even his face did glow 😀

So, I shall return with the entire product review sometime next week. Till then, keep guessing which product is it?? Do share in the comments below!

Eyova Hair Nutrient with Egg Oil Product Review

After a very very long time, I came across an interesting product on the block. Well, we all already know that egg is amazing for hair but who knew there was something called Egg Oil. Check out what the website says about their product. So, let us directly check out how I liked the product!!

Other Particulars

Price: Rs 590 for (extremely expensive!)

Availability: Online Website

Packaging: Not really great! Comes in a flip top bottle and I am not really sure if it completely travel-friendly.

Smell: Ohk, this has to be one of the hugest problems with the product! I hate the smell. No, it is not the egg smell at all!! It is sickly sweet and very artificial. And, even the brand people assured me that they are working on improving it!!

Texture: The oil looks extremely dense but is not really that dense on touch. And, it is silky to touch. (last pic)

Usage: It is recommended to be used on scalp.

Results: Makes the hair extremely soft and leaves the scalp nourished after wash.

Ingredients: It mentions egg oil, canola oil and fragrance (shown in pic below).

How I use the product?

As I mentioned, I hate the smell. What I recommend is mixing essential oils with it. I did not do that due to the review purposes. But, I highly recommend it. Now that we have this issue out of the way, lets get to how does the product perform!

Regarding ingredient clarification when I asked the brand, this was their reply: Yes Eyova has a mix of egg oil and canola. Egg oil is as high as 80-85%; canola oil is used only to make it easy to apply. Well, I would have loved if it was almond or coconut or even olive oil in its place, though!

The oil has to be applied only on the scalp so I did that and obviously it is too expensive to use on the entire hair length! Well, I have to say that you might go on using this product because it just does not end up getting oily. The product either gets absorbed too quickly or is extremely dry (as in like a dry oil, not the skin dryness).

Well, I would not really comment on the hair growth part as I am not too sure about it. But, if I recollect, I had been facing hair fall issue back in November which seems to have gone away now! So, may be it is due to this product considering I did not do anything else specifically for it!! But, what I love most is that it actually makes the hair roots extremely soft and since the oil is silky to touch, massaging with it feels really soothing on scalp!

And, one more thing is it is supposed to work for gray hair as well which I had planned to test out on Mr. P but since he was mostly away on client location, I could not do that. But, this is what the brand said about gray hair and the product: Yes it works for premature hair graying. So your husband can try it as well. You don’t have to apply the oil across the length of the hair (even if you do its safe so don’t worry). It’s primarily scalp massage oil that works on hair follicle level so ensure a good scalp application. The hair grows ½ inch every month, so kindly keep that in mind while checking for results for graying.

My Recommendation

One problem with the product is that it is definitely expensive and one bottle of 50ml would probably last (if used miserly) only 6-8 times!! For me, I would say I need one bottle every month. But, yes, I would definitely recommend the product. It is different than others in the market and definitely worth a try!!

So, what do you think? Would you like to try out this product? Or, are you allergic to eggs? Btw, I have to tell ya that this product is also for the people who are allergic to eggs so yes you can use it! So, do try it out and let me know if you like it.

5 Ways to Use the #Dettol Multi-Use Wipes product reviews

When I was younger, I always used to wonder what would keep my mom inside the kitchen or around the house for hours together. Her work never seemed to get done. Being a house-maker myself now, I realize how diligently she did all her work and how negligently I carry on!!

Probably the dusting and cleaning and wiping are the most arduous and time taking tasks though they do not even come on our lists of TO-DO things! At least for me, they are. Because I hate water spilled around the wash basins or the hard water stains all around the house.

So, when Dettol sent me these multi-use wipes, that was the first thing I tried them on. The wiping. And, to think of it, I never really thought of using the wipes in this way. So, I did give them a try so let us see what all can we do with these wipes.

Hard Water Stains

Having a hard time getting rid of Hard Water stains? I love wiping the area clean after washing (near wash basins or sinks) with these wipes. For more economical usage, you can use it after the day is over to keep it fresh for the next day!!

Around the Kitchen

Whenever I do a complete cleaning of my kitchen, I have a hoard of arsenal as if going to war – a mug full of water, a dry rag, a wet rag, either a cleaning liquid or vinegar solution. But, no need of them anymore.

Wipe off the microwave or the fridge surfaces or the platform or your gas stove with these wipes. Also, the cupboards can be swiped off with them. Once a day wiping is enough unless you are hosting a party or something!!

In the Bathroom

Ok, when you share the toilet with your family members, the toilet seats need to be wiped off for the next member to use with out the eeks factor! And, I personally do prefer the dry bathrooms so using water all time is really not possible. These wipes can be used for that purpose as well. And, similarly for the wash basin and the other surfaces and not to forget the tiles and the mirrors.

Wiping off the Dining Table

This is one of the most easy tasks. I hate cleaning the dining table after meals but this makes it so damn easy and no need of any cleaning liquid either and the glass (my dining table is all glass) is all clean and the spills and other stains get wiped off in a jiffy. This works as well for wood because you should not use water on it lest it gets spoiled.

And, then, the cosmetic usage

Well, it is a perfect travel partner. No water, use this. You can use it as a face wipe, a makeup remover, clean hands during travels, keep yourself safe in the public toilets and what not?

So, what do you say? Did you ever think that wipes can be used in so many ways and that too for house cleaning purposes? Do share your tips!!
