Palmolive Thermal Spa Mineral Massage Shower Gel- Review

Hola girls, today I am going to review a shower gel that is the Palmolive Thermal Spa Mineral Massage shower gel.

 

Product: Palmolive Thermal Spa Mineral Massage Shower Gel ● with Thermal Salts and White Clay
Price: 135 INR for 250ml
When it comes to choosing body washes, I prefer using the ones from Palmolive. I have used two shower gels from their Aroma range, which are the Absolute Relax and the Morning Tonic. They proved to be very good for my skin. But, a few days ago when I visited the nearby mall, I saw the Mineral Massage Shower Gel for the Thermal Spa range. I thought of giving it a try, and guess what, it’s worth trying.
Packaging: Packaging is good as compared to this price. I’ll give an average grade for it.
My Take:
See the grainy texture!
The shower gel is too good to use. Doesn’t make a hole in your pocket. Smells really good. The consistency is very impressive, doesn’t comes out in huge amount and most importantly one or two dollop is enough to clean your skin. So, it lasts for a long time. I love the colour of it very much, it’s a baby blue kind of soothing colour. The texture is superb, it has grainy particles inside it.
Ingredients:
What I like about it:
  • Nicely fragranced.
  • Pocket friendly.
  • Comes out little by little, which makes it more lucrative.
  • Nice texture, grainy particles tends to exfoliate your skin while cleaning.
  • Makes skin soft and supple for hours after washing.

What I don’t like about it:
  • Nothing at all. I love it.

 

So, girls, I suggest you to try this once. I am sure you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for reading the review. Rate and comment if you like the post.

A Little Change!

Hey my readers! I just changed the name of my blog. It was named ‘Pink & Peaches’ before, but I have come across a lot of blogs with names like this. So, I thought of better change it.

Hope you like it. I am open for any suggestion. Thank you! Be blessed.

July Recent Buys Haul| Makeup & Skincare

Hello, my wonderful readers. This is me again. I haven’t posted anything since my long MIA. Please excuse me for that. I promise to be regular on the blog henceforth. *Pinky Promise*

Now let’s get into the post. This is my first haul post so far. I have seen a lot of beauty and fashion bloggers doing haul posts and I like reading them very much. So, I always wanted to write a haul post for you. This post contains my recent buys in the month July. Let’s have a look.

Now let me enlist the products here, one by one.

1. Dove Go Fresh Nourishment Body Lotion: I was looking for a moisturizer that can cope up with this tremendous heat and humidity in India right now. My hands easily gets dried, lacks moisture right after bathing. So, I badly need a moisturizing lotion to keep my hand moisturized. And, this body lotion is best when it comes to summer-time moisturizing. (Review Coming Up)
2. Palmolive Thermal Spa Mineral Massage Body Wash: Now, this is my most favourite body washes so far. It has a soothing smell, keeps my skin supple, one or two dollop is enough for washing my body, lathers very generously and budget friendly. I love this product so much. This is actually my second buy. Two thumbs up for this. (Review Coming Up)

3. Polchem Rose Water Skin Toner: First of all, sorry for the blurry picture, it’s due to wrong camera settings. Now, this toner is not so much of my choice. It instantly produces a lot of rashes in my skin. I won’t recommend this for you.

4. Pond’s White Beauty BB+ Fairness Cream: I had been reading so much about this product for a long time, so, finally decided to give it a try. An guess what, it’s really far better than my imagination. I was using the Garnier BB Cream for quite a time. I have a combination skin and it used to accentuate my oily areas and  left me with a greasy feeling day long. Pond’s is perfect for those who have oily or combination skin. (Review Coming Up)
5. Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner: Good pigmentation, literally waterproof but I think it’s bit highly priced. (Review Coming Up)

6. Revlon Colorstay Makeup: I love this foundation. Very light, stays for a long long time, non-oily, gives a dewy finish to your makeup. (Review Coming Up)

So, that’s it. How do you like it girls? Please do let me know in the comment section. If you are having problems posting comments, as the Google+ comments only allows users those have a Google+ account, then please message me on Facebook.
Thanks for reading. See you next time. Take Care 🙂

Twist it, Turn it, Style it with TRESemme

Hair has always been the only ornament for a lady to have naturally. From Rapunzel to Cleopatra everybody has cherished a dream of beautiful hair. 
Women have always given efforts to get nice hair. Earlier, it used to be herbal, natural packs and masks. Now, that turned into going to salon, heading for a hair spa. But, both of them require a lot of time and endurance; and what modern women lack is TIME. 
So, what to do? Should we stop dreaming about gorgeous ramp- ready hair? No, there has to be an answer, and the answer is TRESemme! Yes, they will do magic to your frizzy, dull hair and make it so soft and smooth like satin.

As a Bollywood lover I have always adored the lovely long hair of Rekha, Poonam Dhillon, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Diana Penty. I love their hair and deeply wish to get that kind of hair some day. TRESemme made my wish come true. Now my hair is so silky smooth that I keep caressing it again and again.

Why I like TRESemme?

I am a very snooty kind of a person when it comes to hair-care. I love my hair so I don’t want to experiment. The only reason why I like TRESemme is that it does what it claims. There is no point of exaggerated, star-studded commercials. I thinks it’s unnecessary when it comes to TRESemme.
What TRESemme did to me?
Oh! it just made my hair ramp-ready, like they says. Well, there’s a hint what TRESemme did to my hair.
How did I twist, turn and style with TRESemme?
There’s a few samples of hair styles that I managed to do with my soft and smooth hair that caused by TRESemme.
A braid headband for that classy touch
A perfectly messy bun
A rope bun updo
A rope bun

A rope updo with a hint of flowers, perfect for summers

So, get your hair ramp-ready this summer and be the celebrity. Be stylish, live well. Thanks for reading.

No More Fighting With Combs

So girls, hope you’re doing well this love-season! Well, Valentine’s Day is 4 days away, so I decided to write some V’Day tips for the next five days.
Today, I am going to writing about hair care. You don’t want to present your frizzy hair before your man or you don’t want to entangle his fingers in your hair. That would be so awkward, isn’t it? Don’t panic friends. I am going to give you some easy home-made remedies to get rid of frizzy and dried up hair and get silky smooth hair in a few days. Let’s get started….
Tip 1: Mix coconut oil and castor oil in 2:1 proportion. Add 1 or 2 Vitamin E capsules (broken) into the mixture. Gently massage it on your scalp and leave it overnight. Wash it off next day. Do this process for three days continuously.
Tip 2: Apply Henna onto your dried up and frizzy hair. Check twice that you are applying Henna and not Mehendi. Mehendi will make your hair coloured, where Henna will make it soft and silky. Add one egg white, juice of half lime, curd in the Henna powder. You can add dash of coffee to add a little colour to your hair. Make a smooth paste and apply it all over your hair (Not into the scalp). Keep it for dry off, after dried wash it off with a mild shampoo. You will see the difference instantly.
Tip 3: Mix 2 tbsp of honey and one ripe banana and make a smooth paste. Apply it on your hair, leave it for drying. Wash off with mild shampoo.
Tip 4: Break two eggs into a bowl. Add two teaspoons of olive oil and two teaspoons of lemon juice. Mix it well and massage gently on your hair and scalp. Leave this for 15-20 minutes. Wash thoroughly with mild shampoo.
Tip 5: Heat two tbsp of coconut oil and 5-6 curry leaves in a pan. Allow it to cool down. Gently massage on your hair and scalp. Immerse a towel in warm water. Wring out excess water from the towel. Wrap on the towel on your head for half an hour and then wash your hair thoroughly with mild shampoo.

That’s all friends. Hope this works out for you and make this V’Day the best V’Day in your life. Let me know, how these remedies worked for you. Thanks for reading. Good luck girls!!
