Nivea Whitening Smooth Skin Deodrant {Product Review}

I am really not much of a fan of deos. Its not like I use perfume but I sure as hell prefer them over deos. In fact, any recommendation for the perfumes would be welcome 🙂 Any inputs on Chanel No. 5???

Anyways, reviewing a deodrant has to be the most difficult and awkward thing! So, what should I start with? Ok, the deo does last decently long upto 4-5 hours and another whiff and you are good to go.

Pros

lasts 4-5 hours
does give a refreshing feeling

Now, I have a very weird habit of putting the deo on the clothes instead of the bare skin. Well, honestly, somehow the deos sting my skin unless I spray them from a mile away so I did check out if the deo stains the clothes or not.

Well, in most cases it did not but then it actually did stain my black tee which was bad. Needless to say, it was not a long term stain. It got washed away. So, I do use it carefully.

How does it smell? Guess my olfactory senses become numb I guess when encountered with a deo 😀 They all really smell the same to me and in a good way. Nothing offensive, just the regular thing.

Also, yes, I do not know about the fairness and whitening claims because I do not have dark underarms for one and I have not directly used it on my underarms for other. But, yes, its worth a try!!

Price: Rs 199

Vaadi Herbals Aromatherapy Body Oil Pure Lemongrass and Lily Oil {Product Review}

Swathy · August 29, 2013 · 6 Comments

I simply love body oils and this one is fast growing on me. Though I don’t like the fact that it gets finished off too soon for me, it sure smells really fresh and lemongrass-y. I love the citrus-y smell which hits the nose as soon as you open the bottle.

The fragrance is strong but not overly so which does make me a bit suspicious if it is natural or not. I have never actually smelled lemongrass essential oil, hence, my suspicions. I have had bergamot though it wasn’t this strong. But, it was equally refreshing!

Pros

gets absorbed easily

smells refreshing

moisturizes the skin well

cute packaging

Anyways coming back to the product, it comes in a cute green bottle with a stopper. You have to pierce the stopper but I, being lazy, chucked it out altogether. Don’t do that because then you don’t really know how much of the product is enough for one use.

Due to that issue, earlier I used to end up using a bit too much of the oil but then slowly I decreased to using around 5-10 drops of oil for each body part. Applied on damp skin, the product gets absorbed really easily and moisturizes the skin well.

Cons

doesn’t do anything for the tan and blemishes as it claims!

can be sticky if overused

smell might get too strong for sensitive noses

I won’t say that it made my skin glow or remove the tan or did what it claims but it is definitely worth a try. I think a 100ml would last around a month of usage. And, the price is decent for the quantity.

Price: Rs 65 for 50ml

Nivea powerfruit relax Shower Gel {Product Review}

Swathy · August 25, 2013 · Leave a Comment

It has been a really long time since I have used any shower gels. I had switched to natural and handmade soaps and this was quite a refreshing change from them. For the starters, I really like the packaging – the purplish color. It also smells nice, not in a natural way though!

I can not describe the smell but its a bit jammy-like and its a bit strong, may be not to everyone’s taste! Also, after the shower, the whole of it smells of the shower gel for quite half an hour. I like it, though! Anyways, the gel is transparent in color and lathers pretty well.

Pros

smells nice!

works well with scrubbing gloves!

It does leave a film on the skin which is something I do not really like with any product but after you are dry, your skin does not really feel sticky or anything. In fact, the body oil I am currently using gets absorbed pretty easily!!

So, its a heads up for me and I love to use my body shop gloves with this product. So, yes, this is worth a try!!

Cons

leaves a thin film on body which is not to everyone’s taste!

Price : Rs 175 for 250ml
