Being a makeup lover, I am always on a hunt for good quality, affordable makeup products. Recently, I came across a palette on Amazon that had 9 neutral shades, a mixture of matte and shimmery and it was priced at Rs 305 only! You guys know me, I had to get that.
Here are close-up shots of the palette and a video review. Hope you will like it.

Winters aren’t the easiest of times. It means you have to be more careful about everything you do for yourself. In India, the weather in winter is the most pleasant of all. It is the only 3 months in the calendar without heat, humidity, or sweat. So, we Indians tend to take advantage of this season as much as possible. Winter is the time when we plan more outings, picnics, and road trips. Here, I am sharing some tips that you must consider to make your vehicle winter road trip-ready.
Take Your Car for a Service: As you need to shop before your trip, your car also needs some upgrades to get ready for the trip. Ask your mechanic to check your car’s engine, radiator, and battery well. In winter, having a fast start is quite hard. Make sure the tyres are in perfect condition. It’s really important to get them checked before they hit the road. For that, you can your ride to bmw service centre for further checking.
Have an Emergency Kit Ready: No matter if you are driving alone or with your family, keeping an emergency kit with you is always a wise idea. Your kit should contain booster cables, an air compressor, extra windscreen washer fluid, flashlights, and a first aid kit.
Headlights: Your headlights need some extra attention, as during the winter you get less time for daylight. Check beforehand if your headlights are properly aimed and all the lights work well.
Oil Tank: Never fill your tank more than halfway. It’s ok to stop a few more times for fuel than to start with a full-tank.
Winter-ready Tyres: Make sure all four of your tyres are winter tyres. The so-called all-season tyres might not work well for a long, long trip. It’s okay to spend some more money than regret later.
Battery: Charge your battery well before starting your trip.
Take your car for an Emission test: Before setting off on a long trip, make sure your vehicle is functioning properly.
Pack Everything well: Before heading out, make sure you have kept all your documents (license, insurance, PUC, etc.). Also, make sure you have your chargers, enough USB cables, food and water, warm clothes, etc.
Final Check: Your final check will be to check if your GPS is working properly. you have taken a look at the weather report, and then you are finally good to start your long-planned trip.

While packing our bags we always make sure we have packed our wallet, mobile phone, chargers etc but what you often tend to forget is a bottle of hand sanitizer. With the increasing awareness of hygiene, the use of hand sanitizers has increased over the past few years. Everybody is now quite aware of the fact that to be healthy, you need to maintain some basic hygienic practice.
Being Indian, I find it very crucial to clean your hands before you eat your food because almost every Indian prefers to eat with their hands and I am not an exception. Not always you’ll find water around you to clean your hands, especially while travelling. I find it really gross to wash your hands with the water from a bottle through the windows of a bus or train. That is a complete no-no.
Not only for cleaning your hands, hand sanitizers, in general, have a lot of other usages. Here, I have listed all the usual and unusual uses of a hand sanitizer-
To clean your hands (the most common use!)
To sanitize your makeup palettes and brushes.
To disinfect your fingers before applying makeup.
To disinfect your makeup closet or desk.
To clean your spectacles or sunglasses.
To wipe off your fingerprints from different surfaces.
To clean spots on your car seat.
>>Did you know all these?
A hand sanitizer is a must in your kids’ school bag. Children are the most prone to catch infections and most of them they get from school. Now, you cannot control your child’s movements but you can make sure that they don’t bring the germs home with them. It’s better to start a healthy habit from childhood. Teach them the importance of hand sanitizers. It’s most likely for them to not understand but still, you can help them grow a habit of cleaning their hands with sanitizers before eating. In this way, you can pass on the baton of healthy living.
There are a plenty of hand sanitizers available in the market but you have to make sure you pick up the right one. Most of us don’t know that a sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol which is considered to be the ideal amount to kill germs. Make sure to check the amount of alcohol present in your sanitizer before buying. Kleanse Pocketbac Advanced Instant Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer contains 65% Ethyl Alcohol which is claimed to kill 99.9% germs. It is a 30ml bottle that is easy to fit in your luggage or your purse. It also comes with a silicon Pikachu holder which is really cute and it helps in attaching the sanitizer to your handbag, backpack or even to your key chains. The design is very attractive to children, they will never wish to lose it.
The formula of this sanitizer is very light, it gets absorbed to your skin very fast leaving them hydrated yet non-greasy. This also has floating Vitamin E granules that take care of your skin. The fragrance of the Cinnamon Muffins variant is a subtle cinnamon fragrance which fades off after a few minutes. It does not smell alcoholic at all. Kleanse Pocketbac Advanced Instant Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer comes in 3 more variants- Red Guava, Vanilla Kiss and Water Melon.
The claims-
1. Easy to kill 99.9% of germs when you’re on-the-go.
2. Attached to your bag pack & purse.
3. It is a rinse-free and a non-sticky solution.
4. Allowed in the aeroplane.
Kleanse Pocketbac Advanced Instant Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer comes for Rs 239/-

Winter is right around the corner. This season comes with its own pros and cons. Where on one hand, it relieves us from the scorching sun and the unbearable humidity, on the other hand, it causes dryness and dullness of the skin. In today’s post, I am going to share some of my tips to fight dullness and rejuvenate your skin during this season.
Hydrate
Keeping yourself hydrated is really important for your skin as it helps in removing toxins from your body. You can achieve a glowing skin just by hydrating your body. Drink lots of water no matter what the season is.
Diet
Your diet plays a huge role in your skincare. Some foods are meant to detoxify your body and rejuvenate your core system so that your skin looks glowing from within. Here are some steps that I have incorporated into my diet to achieve a younger-looking, healthy and glowing skin.
Have salads before my meals. Firstly, it will prevent you from overeating and secondly, the detoxifying properties of raw veggies will help refresh your system.
Start my day with lemon water. Lemon has amazing detox properties. It is rich in Vitamin C which improves your skin and hair.
Have sprouted moong daal as a snack in the evening. Evenings are the times I am most inclined to junk foods. To prevent that, my mom has come up with this lovely idea to have a sprouts chaat to deal with my pesky hunger pangs. Just take some sprouted moong beans, chunks of tomatoes, chopped coriander and green chillies, add a dash of lemon juice, salt and pepper and you are good to go!
Special Skincare
Himalaya Ayurveda Double Power Double Neem Facial Kit
Himalaya Ayurveda Double Power Double Neem Facial Kit
One thing about skincare that we always tend to forget is that it changes with the season. You should always make these seasonal changes to give your skin what it really needs for that particular season. As far as I have noticed, mine has become a little sensitive as winter is approaching and I am getting seasonal pimples more than what I normally do. To fight that, I have recently used the VLCC Ayurveda Purifying Double Power Double Neem Facial Kit (Rs 200/-).
This facial kit is made to give you an instant glow. This facial kit contains total 5 products- a face wash (10g), a face scrub (10g), a face gel (10g), a face cream (10g) and a face pack (10g). Enriched in the power of neem, VLCC Ayurveda Purifying Double Power Double Neem Facial Kit is a 5 step facial kit that deeply cleanses your skin, removes impurities, making it feel fresh and free from acne.
Comment down below stating how you take care of your skin during seasonal changes.

We all know how beneficial sandalwood is for our skin. It has been one of the most popular beauty secrets for women from time immemorial. All of us have used sandalwood in face packs or alone at some point in our lives, be it for pimple removal or glowing skin. Today, I am going to talk about a brand that has come up with a ready to use sandalwood face pack which is 100% natural. I’m talking about Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack.
Description- Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack soothes and nourishes dry and normal skin. Sandalwood is obtained from the trees of the genus Santalum. It retains its fragrance for a long time. It is known to reduce sunburn and inflammation. The combination of sandalwood with Multani mitti tends to offer an extraordinary cooling effect that refreshes the skin. Almond and calamine provide necessary moisturizing properties which help to improve complexion and texture of skin. Regular use is known for getting anti-wrinkle effects.
Packaging- Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack comes in a powder form packaged inside a sealed plastic bag which is placed inside a regular cardboard box with all the details about the product. I wish they considered modifying the packaging a little bit. Once you cut open the plastic bag there is no way to seal it again. This allows air to enter the package and adulterate the natural ingredients.
Directions to use- Mix 1 tablespoon of Sandalwood Face Pack with rose water or fresh water to make a paste. Apply it evenly on the face & neck. Allow it to dry. Wash the face with fresh water.
My Experience with Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack
I have been using Indus Valley Bio Organic Sandalwood Face Pack for a couple of weeks now. I like to use it twice a week. Every time I use it, it leaves my skin hydrated and adds a healthy glow to it. I have seen this pack prevents seasonal acne and makes the skin very soft and supple. As it is rich in natural ingredients, I can completely trust that it won’t harm my skin. 1 tablespoon of the product is enough for your entire face and neck, thus a little goes a long way. It also diminishes the signs of fatigue from the face.
These are the reasons to love this product-
100% pure
Microfine powder
Soothes dry skin
Reduces sunburn
Refreshes skin
Improves complexion
Long lasting aroma
No added chemical
Overall, I like using this product as it is true to its claims and it does not cause any harm to my skin. I would highly recommend you guys to try this product out.

I often get a lot of compliments for my hair. But, in reality, it is dry, lifeless and it falls a lot. In my case, one of the major reasons for hair fall has to be pollution and stress. There are several things that can be held responsible for hair fall, one of them is definitely mental and physical stress and lack of sleep. Pollution also causes hair breakage. If you style your hair regularly, apply heat or colour your hair then it will weaken your roots which eventually causes hair fall. There are things related to your diet that may cause breakage.
There is a good news for those who have been facing hair fall issues for a long time. Himalaya, one of India’s most trusted skin and hair care brand has now come up with an Anti-Hairfall Range that consists of five different products- Anti-Hairfall Hair Oil, Anti-Hairfall Shampoo, Anti-Hairfall Conditioner and Anti-Hairfall Cream. The main ingredient used in this Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Range is Bhringaraja which is very popular for its hair-strengthening properties.
Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Range Contents-
Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Hair Oil- This oil is enriched with the goodness of Bhringaraja and Amlaki. This will help strengthen the root shafts and prevent hair fall.
Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Shampoo- It includes an Ayurvedic composition of Bhringaraja and Butea Frondosa that helps reduce hair fall due to breakage, and conditions and improves hair texture.
Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Conditioner- It is formulated with Butea Frondosa, Bhringaraja and Chickpea that nourishes hair and helps prevent excess hair fall, leaving your hair soft. silky and smooth.
HimalayaAnti-Hairfall Cream- This herb-based cream is a daily-use formula including Bhringaraja and Amlaki for reducing hair fall and strengthening hair follicles.
The 4 Steps to Fabulous Hair-
Oiling- This is the one thing I always skip. But, oils provide nourishment which we often tend to forget. Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Oil is specially formulated for treating hair fall issues. Part your hair and apply Himalaya’s Anti-Hairfall Hair Oil on the scalp. Massage the scalp gently in a circular motion using your fingertips so that the oil is absorbed into the scalp. Soak a towel in hot water and wrap your hair with it for 30 minutes before washing.
Shampoo- I can say that I got the best shampooing experience at the Himalaya #4FabulousHair event.
They took a plenty of time to gently massage my scalp with the shampoo. The shampooed twice to red rid of the previously applied oil.
Gently massage Himalaya’s Anti-Hairfall shampoo into wet hair and scalp. Leave for two to three minutes, and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if necessary. The product is effective for all hair types and is safe to use on artificially coloured or permed hair.
Condition- Conditioning is an unskippable step in your hair care regime. This acts as a nutrient for your hair. Make sure to apply your conditioner along the length of your hair and never on your scalp.
After shampooing, gently apply Himalaya’s Anti-Hairfall conditioner along the length of the hair from base to tip. Leave for two minutes and rinse thoroughly after. The product is suitable for all hair types and is safe to use on artificially coloured or permed hair.
Protect- This is the step most of us do not go for. It’s a pretty uncommon thing to actually nourish and protect your hair post wash.
After conditioning, take a small amount of Himalaya’s Anti-Hairfall cream and gently run it through your hair strands while it’s damp. Use it regularly after conditioning to maintain healthy hair. The product is suitable for all hair types and is safe to use on artificially coloured or permed hair.
My Thoughts on the Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Range- #4FabulousHair
I am pretty impressed with this range. From the first wash, I have seen a huge difference. I get a lot of hair fall during hair wash but with this shampoo, the hair fall has reduced. The products have been helping me keep my hair strong and healthy. I never oil my hair because I have an oily scalp, but this Anti-Hairfall Oil is quite lightweight so it doesn’t harm. The beauty of this range is that you don’t need to go to a salon to get the therapy done. You can have this in the comfort of your home without any expert assistance. I really feel that this Himalaya Anti-Hairfall Range is worth a try.

Being a woman in today’s world is harder than ever. Oftentimes, ladies are forced to combine a full-time job, personal life, family or kids-related responsibilities, physical activity, and active social life all at once. At the same time, people (read: men) expect us to always look good, feel energized, and wear high heels 24/7. With so many expectations and demands the society has put on tender female shoulders, there is no wonder we ladies feel stressed out every now and then.
In light of this, it becomes especially important to allocate some time in our busy schedule for procedures and activities that are relaxing and revitalizing at the same time. Many women will agree that one of the greatest activities of this kind is Spa procedures. With this in mind, I’ve decided to make a list of 10 DIY ideas of how to make a Spa day at home. Trust me, they have the same wonderful effect as procedures in Spa/salon but don’t affect your budget as drastically as the latter do.
Quick note: The DIY Spa ideas mentioned below will work especially good in combination with each other.
Take a Restorative Hot Bath
Taking a hot bath is a relaxing activity in its own right, but you may take it one step further and decide to light some aroma candles, pour yourself a glass of quality wine (or fresh juice if you’re a healthy foodie), turn some relaxing music on. To make the experience even better, mix essential oils with some aromatic flowers and pour the mass into your hot bath. You are free to choose flowers you like, but keep in mind there are flowers that are especially good for Spa procedures.
Use a Skin Scrub to Delight Your Body
Apart from being a useful beauty procedure, things like skin scrubs are also a perfect fit for an at-home Spa day. If you wonder why it is so, I’ll explain it briefly. There are plenty of DIY Scrub recipes based on coffee, cocoa, honey, etc. Most of them won’t take you a lot of time to make, and you’ll be sure the scrub you put on your skin does not contain any harmful chemicals. Choose among hundreds of receipts and delight your body with a fragrant natural scrub.
Do a Self-Massage to Reduce Chronic Muscle Tension
Most of us have chronic muscle tensions we’re so used to that we no longer consider it a big deal. The most problematic zones are your back, neck, and shoulders. Take some time to knead your muscles with your fingers; this will surely help you to loosen up.
Make Yourself a Foot Soak
Believe it or not, but foot soak is believed to be one of the most stress-relieving procedures you can do at home. While hot water is relaxing in its own right, you can boost the effect by adding some sea salt and essential oils. Your feet will be as soft and tender as never before.
Give Yourself a Steam Treatment
Facial steam can make wonders to your skin, and the good news that it’s easy to do at home. All you need to do is clean your face thoroughly, boil some water (½ litre tends to be enough), select herbs and essential oils such as lavender, green tea, chamomile or mint, prepare a towel and get ready for your steam time.
Do Manicure and Pedicure
Unless you are one of those who cannot (or do not want to) master the art of DIY manicure and pedicure, this procedure is an absolute must for your at-home Spa day. Ideally, do your mani and pedi right after a hot bath. This way, you won’t have any problems removing your fingernail cuticles.
Or Lemon Water. Or anything else that will nourish your body with essential nutrients and vitamins, and will make you feel more energized and generally better. Needless to say, fresh juices will do the job too.
Turn Down the Lights and Use Candles
Thanks to our smart hormonal system, our body gets relaxed when there is no source of bright light around. That is why it is recommended to turn all the lights off when going to bed at night. To help yourself get calm and relaxed, replace the artificial light with the natural light of candles.
Soften Your Hands
If you have enough time and motivation, consider making a mask for your hands. If you’re too tired or just lazy (which is nothing to be ashamed of), take your favourite hand cream and massage your hands for at least 5 or 10 minutes.
As you see, it is not a rocket science to make your own Spa at home. All you need is some essential oils, fragrant flowers, hot water, and the desire to have a truly relaxing day spent at home.

Hi, guys! Durga Puja is right around the corner and I know a lot of you have already started your Puja shopping by now. But, there are a lot of people who are still wondering what to buy and what not to buy. I get a lot of messages regarding inexpensive yet good quality makeup products. So, I thought why not share my list of budget-friendly Durga Puja Makeup Essentials so that you guys get a good list of affordable beauty when you need it the most, the time of all Indian festivals.
To simplify everything, I have categorized everything. In order of their usage, I have listed all the essential makeup needs-
Primer
Primer is an essential makeup product that we usually tend to avoid due to lack of knowledge or lack of energy. A good primer acts as a shield between your skin and your makeup. It prevents your makeup from going into your pores. Primer smoothes out the skin surface making the makeup application easier and helps the makeup to set and last longer. Certain primers also help mattify the skin.
Nivea Men After Save Balm is hands down one of the best face primers available in the market that too at such an affordable price tag. The product cost around Rs 250/- and gives the best result possible. People are going gaga over this product for all the valid reasons.
You can also usePatanjali Aloe Vera Gel which acts as a decent primer for combination to oily skin types. It retails for Rs 40/-.
Foundation
Choosing a good foundation and concealer within Rs 500/- is a bit tough. I did not want to include something that I won’t use myself. For me, your base makeup is the vital thing and for a festive season, I do not intend to use a foundation that doesn’t have decent coverage. Most of the foundations that are under Rs 500/- and are easily available in the market do not provide good coverage. So, I went ahead and researched a bit and found out a foundation that provides medium coverage, minimizes the pores and has a ‘feather-light, oil-free formula’. This is the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid MousseFoundation that retails for Rs 450/-
Concealer
For concealer, I found out this panstick on Amazon calledOlivia Panstickwhich ranges between Rs 120/- to Rs 240/- (there were different prices for different sellers). This pan stick is waterproof and sweatproof, gives you high coverage and it also has SPF 12. However, I have not used this myself but I am intending to buy one and review it for you very soon.
Powder
Since I have started using loose powders, I don’t reach out for compacts anymore. Coloressence HD Powder is a decent loose powder to try out. It sets the foundation, controls oil and gives you a bit more coverage. This powder is priced at Rs 350/-.
If you are looking for a cheaper option in a compact form, I would highly recommend you guys try out the Maybelline White Superfresh Compactwhich retails for Rs 150/-. I use it myself and I can swear by it.
There are a lot of options available when it comes to blushes under Rs 500/-. There is Maybelline, Essence, Faces, Coloressence, Nicka K, Rimmel etc. All these brands I mentioned are trustworthy. If you want me to pick up anything, I would go for Maybelline Color Show (Rs 299/-) or Essence Blush Up (Rs 399/-).
Highlighter
Your Durga Puja Makeup Essentials cannot be complete without a good highlighter. I cannot imagine myself leaving my house without some glow game on. Finding a good highlighter under Rs 500 is a bit tough because the cheaper ones are most likely to be chunky and the application might be patchy. But, the Sivanna Colors Shimmer Highlighter is something that everyone swears by. It is insanely pigmented, finely milled and long-lasting. It retails for Rs 400/- on Amazon.
Lipstick
There are quite a lot of options available within Rs 500 but in this post, I will answer the question that most of you always ask me, the best red lipstick within budget. Undoubtedly, it has to be Lakme 9 to 5 Lipstick in Red Coat. This is one of the best red lipsticks within the budget available in Indian market. It is priced at Rs 480/- and it is an alleged dupe of MAC’s classic red lipstick Ruby Woo. How cool is that!
The previous formula of these lipsticks was quite drying but the new primer+matte formula has changed that into a comfortable wear.
I have ordered an eyeshadow palette from Amazon which is still on the way. I will do a review on that on my YouTube channel. If you haven’t subscribed to my channel, do it now!
This post is in collaboration with 8 other Bengali bloggers just to celebrate the sublimity of Bengal’s favourite festival, Durga Puja. So, 9 of us have come together to talk about beauty, fashion, food and many other things that you need to indulge in before the festivity. Do check out everyone’s post to get the complete package before Durga Puja.

Hi, guys! Today, I am back with another Faces product review. This time I am going to review the newly launched two shades of the Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal. Faces has come up with four new shades of their most amazing gel kajal range- Blue, Brown, Grey and Green. Since I used their black variant, I didn’t hesitate to try the two new variants which are 01 Green and 03 Blue.
Description- “Let your eyes speak your style as FACES Canada now introduces Ultime Pro Mystic Kajal in vibrant colours to line your lids. An extension of the much-loved and supremely rich FACES Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal, the luxurious Ultime Pro Mystic kajal comes in four incredible shades. The multi-purpose Ultime Pro Mystic kajal can be used as kohl, eyeliner, and as an eye shadow with the help of the smudger, to reinvent your look in a jiffy. To add, the smudger also achieves the desired smokey eye look with elan.
The vivid bright FACES Canada Ultime Pro Mystic Kajal has a luxurious, intense formula combining silky matte texture. It softly glides over the eyelid allowing you to achieve an intense colour in one easy swipe and is long-lasting with a stay of more than eight hours. Whether you are looking to create a smouldering smoky eye or a well-defined cat eye, Ultime Pro Mystic Kajal can do it all. Besides, it is dermatologically and ophthalmologist tested and approved.
Go all out with glamorous eyes, for FACES Ultime Pro Mystic Kajal in four exciting shades namely, green, brown, blue and grey, are a refreshing twist to the conventional black kohl, and are a must have fashion and beauty accessory.
It’s all in the eyes. And the possibilities are endless.The ultimate eyeliner wardrobe—no matter what eye look you’re after, you’ll reach for this quartet daily. And what’s more is you also get a sharpener worth Rs. 125 for free!”
Price- Rs 599/- each
I won’t talk about the texture and wear time here in this post as it’s similar to the Faces Ultime Pro Gel Kajal in black that I have already reviewed on my blog.
Packaging- The packaging of these new variants are same as their black variant which I have already reviewed. You can tell the colour of the pencils from its packaging as the blue one comes with a blue packaging and green one with a green packaging. There are two tips of these pencils, one is the pencil tip and another is the sponge tip that is made to blend the shades.
Shades- 01 Green is a pretty deep green shade and 03 Blue is a navy blue shade. Both the colours would go well with Indian eye colours, especially with brown eyes. They are not over the top so anybody can rock them!
Pigmentation- I am super impressed with thepigmentation of these new gel kajals. Both of them provide an intense opaque finish in just a single stroke.
My Experience with Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal- Green & Blue
As I said earlier, I am in love with these gel kajals. They are supremely pigmented, soft and smooth in texture and the formula is really creamy. The application is really smooth because of the creaminess. It glides easily on the lids, no tugging or pulling is required. The formula is totally blendable and blends into a completely matte formula. The sponge tip does a great job in blending the kajal evenly. These pencils are not totally waterproof but they easily come off with a makeup remover. The only thing to remember is that the tips of the pencils are breakable due to the softness. So, don’t put a lot of pressure while applying.
Overall, I have really enjoyed every time I used these pencils. I was already impressed with the formulation and again fell in love with the new shades.

My Views on Ashtapathy Herbals Bathing Bars
My first impression on these soaps is that they smell so good! They smell like raw natural/herbal product that they actually are. All the soaps are gentle on the skin and they do not dry out the skin. I would like to talk especially about the Olive Soap that was so smooth and it made my skin soft, supple and visibly healthy. I applied the Mud soap on the body as well as on my face and the result was amazing. The Multani mitti in the soap actually worked well on my oily t-zone and my face felt less oily for quite sometime after the wash. It did not strip off the skin making it dehydrated. The Deva Thali soap was an okayish soap, great for everyday essential use. It cleanses the skin very well giving it proper hydration. These soaps are not fast melting, they last for more than 15 days if properly used.

My Views on Ashtapathy Herbals Hair Cleansers-
To be honest, I enjoyed using the Deva Thali shampoo more than the Mud shampoo. Although I have very oily scalp and the Mud shampoo did work on that but it also did tend to dry out my already dry hair. I have a combination hair type- my scalp is oily and hair is dry. So, if you have my type of hair, I would suggest you go for the Deva Thali shampoo instead of the Mud shampoo. The Deva Thali shampoo worked quite well on my hair. It cleansed the scalp, made the hair soft and shiny. Both of the shampoos did not cause hair fall during the shower. It felt really great to use pure and natural products on my hair after continuously treating it with chemicals.
Overall, I enjoyed using the Ashtapathy Herbals products. Their products are available exclusively at Shesha Beauty. A lot of you had asked me to review some new natural skin and hair care products on my Facebook Page, so here it is for you!
