Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil is an old love. And, again this time around, I loved using it.

I love using body oils, especially in the shower itself. The steam helps the oil gets absorbed really quickly and keeps the skin really well-moisturized. I am not able to recall how I learned this trick but it works like a charm. I urge you to try it.

Still smells like roses and jasmine, the fragrance is delicate and does not hurt the nose. Neither does the fragrance lingers long enough on the skin. The delicate scent of Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil comes from essential oils than from any synthetic additives.

What I love about Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Body Oil is that it is a dry oil. The moment you spread the oil on your palms and apply it on the skin, it gets absorbed. There is no oiliness or stickiness left behind and the moisturization lasts almost 6-8 hours at the minimum.

One interesting thing to note is the change in the packaging. Earlier, I had complained about the bottle not having a stopper so this time around, they have a stopper with a cap to plug the hole in whenever you are closing the bottle to prevent leakage. I would still not call it travel-friendly or say the packaging is premium but a small improvement from before.

Definitely, the prices have risen for Kama overall in the last few years but I still feel this is a bit more reasonably priced than a few other products from the same brand. In 2015, the price of the rose jasmine body oil was Rs 795 and now it is priced at Rs 1350. Not really inexpensive but worth trying out once if you do have the budget for it.

Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

If you are a regular reader on the blog, you would know that I am a die-hard fan of Garnier Pore Unclogging face wash even though it has SLS. On my last trip to the supermarket, I was searching for another face wash which my skin would love and I picked up this Pure Active Neem one thinking it would be just the same and more over it was in a buy 2 get 1 offer. Bad idea to buy things for the first time in such offers!!

Anyways, needless to say the product disappointed me a lot. Why? Let us check out.

Garnier Pure Active Real Neem Face Wash Product Review

  • Price : Rs 90 for 100gms
  • Availability : at all the supermarkets and online shopping sites
  • Packaging : travel-friendly like all the tube face washes.
  • Texture : gel face wash, green in color and needs a bit of water to wash off as it leaves a slimy feel after washing the face.
  • Ingredients : It does have SLS, salicylic acid and sodium benzoate instead of parabens as preservatives.

Biotique Bio Saffron Dew Youthful Nourishing Day Cream Product Review

After my hair makeover, it was finally time for me to concentrate on my skin. I was checking some of my before-wedding pics and my skin was Soooooo good and now it is just not that great!!! So, the first thing I did was to order off the MVO sunscreen which I have always loved. Btw, the worse thing is they have stopped shipping to India due to the custom problems which makes it difficult to or the product anytime I want.

And, the second thing on my list was a good moisturiser. As I have reiterated countless times, I have never found the perfect moisturiser and I did not want to use any oil so I decided to try out biotique as I love the brand and it suits me. So, I went and bought this product. And, before I begin, I am loving it. I have read a few negative reviews of the product as well but I would totally recommend it if you have my type of skin. So, read on!

Biotique Bio Saffron Dew Youthful Nourishing Day Cream Product Review

  • Price : Rs 199 for 50 gms
  • Availability : at all the stores and websites so this is not an issue at all!
  • Packaging : The product comes in the classic Biotique packaging which btw has changed from oval to round jars. It is easy to carry but a little cumbersome and does not leak at all.
  • Texture : The product is creamy and gets absorbed immediately in my skin.
  • Ingredients : As always, I am a little skeptical of biotique ingredients because of their mention of base Q.S. I wish they would be more forthcoming about it. As far as in understand, they buy the base for all the products and add their signature ingredients to the base and then package it. Btw, did you know they have come up with an advanced range of products for anti-ageing skin care?
