A Review on So Silk Shampoo

A Review on So Silk Shampoo| cherryontopblog.com

Hello people, hope you are doing well. First of all, I want to apologize as I got too busy after the holidays and could not wish you all individually. So, sorry for that. Thanks to all those who wished me. Happy New Year to all of you!

If you are following me on Snapchat (Hope you do. Username- sayantinee) you would probably seen my snap where I showed a picture of my journal. Here it is-

I have taken a resolution of publishing all the pending posts this year. So, I am up with a long-pending review which I am going to share with you now. 
I received a bunch of sachets of the So Silk shampoo from the brand Prem Henna a couple of weeks ago. I got too busy, I don’t even remember why, thus the delayed post. Today, I thought of sharing with you a quick yet detailed review of this shampoo.
Price- Rs 1/- for each sachet
As I said earlier, I got a bunch of sachets of this shampoo and not a bottle. I don’t think they have started manufacturing bottles yet. I hope they do it soon. The packaging is nothing exceptional, just the regular plastic sachet packaging. 
A Review on So Silk Shampoo| cherryontopblog.com
The product is a cream shampoo with the benefits of soy milk protein. The soy milk protein helps in nourishing your hair from the roots, making it stronger and healthier. This shampoo is for all hair types, it worked well for my dry, frizzy hair. The packaging looks quite similar to that of a popular brand, but it differs in many ways. First of all, So Silk shampoo does not have any strong, chemical-ly fragrance, rather it has a very soothing, mild fragrance that will instantly remind you of ayurvedic or herbal products. I loved how it made my hair smell so fresh. The fragrance lingered for quite a long time. 
The So Silk shampoo lathers really well. You can feel it’s cleaning your hair really well. It made my hair softer right after the wash. After drying completely I noticed my hair was looking nourished and rejuvenated. But, there are a couple of things I did not like about this shampoo. 
  • They can’t be used alone without conditioners. Rather, conditioning is a must after using this shampoo. It might cause hair fall while combing if you don’t use any conditioner. 
  • I am not comfortable with sachet packaging.
I hope they come up with conditioners from this range and also introduce bottle packaging soon. Overall, I liked the shampoo. It is a good option if you are looking for safer products for your hair within budget. Let me know what you feel about this product.

Have you used So Silk shampoo? 

Hope you enjoyed reading this post. Will be back with a new one shortly. Till then, be safe & keep smiling! Happy New Year, once again 🙂

best affordable compacts in India

Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Perfecting Compact| Review, Swatch, Price

Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Perfecting Compact| Review, Swatch, Price
Hey guys, today I am back with another review. Today, I will be reviewing the newly launched pressed powder by Maybelline, which is the Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Brightening Compact. Ah, a mouthful!
If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook then you might have seen a photo of this compact I shared and told you that I was trying it out. After trying that for almost half a month, I am finally ready with my review.

Maybelline recently launched their White Superfresh compacts that they claim to keep you fair and fresh for 12 hours. The compact comes in three shades- Pearl (for Light to Medium complexion), Shell (for Medium complexion) and Coral (for Medium to Dark complexion). When I was asked to chose my shade, I was a bit confused so I chose Shell which is the medium shade. I was not sure about it because I don’t really like my compacts to be lighter than my skin tone. Let’s get into the review now-
Price- Rs 150/- (for 8 grams of product)

Packaging- The Maybelline White Superfresh compact comes in a cute white plastic packaging. It comes with a regular white puff and a mirror which comes in handy during touch ups. There is nothing extraordinary about the packaging.

Texture/Coverage/Staying Power- This compact has a very smooth finish to it. The powder is finely milled and does not look chalky. It settles into a powdery finish which you won’t like if you have very dry skin or uneven skin. It does not bother me because I have a combination skin type and I don’t use my compacts for coverage, I just lightly dust it to set my base makeup.

Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Perfecting Compact| Review, Swatch, Price
Blended

The White Superfresh compact gives a sheer to light coverage which again is okay for me as I already told you that I don’t use my compacts for coverage. It doesn’t give a good coverage but it definitely makes your skin look brighter. It instantly brightens up the entire face which gives an illusion of fairer skin tone. The presence of a mineral called Perlite in the compact causes that instant radiance to the skin. 

Coming to the staying power, I won’t say it lasted on me for 12 hours but it definitely lasted on me for 6-7 hours. For the oil-control part, I applied it at 8:30 am and went to the university, at around 12pm I felt a little oiliness around the t-zone so I touched up very lightly. I checked again around 3pm and observed some shine around my nose and forehead. I must state that I have normal to dry skin during this time of the year and combination skin during the rest of the year. I don’t think this compact would last on me for that long during summer. I would love to see how many hours it stays on me in summer. The brightening effect definitely lasts for a longer period of time. 
The company also claims that this compact contains UV filters that helps protect the skin for sun-damage. 
Ups-

  • Lightweight.
  • Doesn’t feel chalky.
  • Doesn’t look cake-y when applied.
  • Instantly brightens up the face.
  • Helps control sebum for at least 6-7 hours with touch ups. (varies)
  • Have UV filters.
  • Cute, travel-friendly packaging.
  • Comes with a puff and a mirror.
  • Inexpensive.
  • Easily available.

Downs-

  • Coverage could have been better.D
  • Does not stay for 12 hours as the brand claims.
  • Limited shade range.
Overall, I am impressed with the product because it brightens up my face instantly and effectively and also because it keeps oiliness at bay for a decent time. I don’t about others but I don’t really need my compacts to stay on me for 12 hours on a daily basis. I would suggest you to try this compact once. I am sure you will like it. 


Have you used the Maybelline White Superfresh 12hr Whitening+Perfecting Compact yet? 
For how long does it stay on you?

I hope you found my review helpful. Feel free to ask me anything in the comments. See you in my next post. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Best Cheap lipsticks in India

Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick- Pink Persuasion| Review, Swatch, Price

Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick- Pink Persuasion| Review, Swatch, Price| Cherry On Top Blog

Hi guys, hope you are doing well. Today, I am going to present to you a much awaited review. I think I have posted a sneak-peek of this about 3 months ago on my Facebook page but did not get a chance to write. So, I thought of posting it today. Today’s review is of one of my favourite lipsticks that is the Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick in the shade Pink Persuasion. 

If you guys know me then you must know how much I love lip colours. I don’t step out without putting my favourite lip color on. I mostly love matte shades but they usually tend to dry my lips out during the colder months of the year so I like to replace my matte lipsticks with the moisturizing ones. I make sure to apply the lipsticks that are creamy but not glossy. I found this range of lipsticks from Steer Wear that is perfect for me. I got the shade Pink Persuasion for me because when it comes to lipsticks I have an inclination towards pinks. You might have seen this lipstick in my Aplava Haul post. I have been loving this lipstick since then and have started using continuously from the beginning of this month. Now, let’s jump into the review-
Price- Rs 220

The shade, Pink Persuasion is a part of the re-launched range of Ultra Moist lipsticks by Street Wear. This range was primarily priced at Rs 180 but now it retails for Rs 220.

Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick- Pink Persuasion| Review, Swatch, Price| Cherry On Top Blog

Packaging- The lipstick bullet is housed in a pretty, black, plastic packaging with a clear cap which has a pop-art print on it. This makes the packaging really attractive. The packaging somehow reminds me of The Balm packaging. I felt the packaging is not that sturdy. Plus, the lipstick does not complete go inside the bullet which I feel is really annoying because then there is a possibility of damage when you try to put the cap on.

Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick- Pink Persuasion| Review, Swatch, Price| Cherry On Top Blog


Shade- Pink Persuasion is a very wearable rosy pink with a hint of coral. The subtlety of the shade makes it appropriate for any occasion such as office, party or dates be it daytime or night time. Because of the red undertone, it can suit every complexion very well.

Texture/ Pigmentation/Wear Time- The texture of the lipstick is very creamy. It glides on really easily and does not settle into creases. It moisturizes the lips really well thus it is perfect for those who have dry lips throughout the year. It’s a perfect pick for winter time as we tend to have chapped lips during this time of the year.

The pigmentation is surprisingly good for the price you pay. It covers up my dark upper lip well with 2-3 coats. It manages to give an decent finish on the first swipe. You can build up the colour for more intensity.

The staying power of this lipstick is also good for such a low price. It lasts about good 3-4 hours on my lips without eating and drinking anything.

Ups-

  • Universally flattering shade. 
  • Creamy texture that gives out a semi-matte finish after application.
  • Lightweight formula.
  • Moisturizes lips very well.
  • Doesn’t settle into creases. 
  • Decently pigmented. 
  • Buildable colour.
  • Has a decent wear time.
  • Available in stores and leading e-commerce sites. 

Downs-

  • The packaging must have been more sturdy.
  • I wish I had a longer staying power. 

Overall, I am happy with my purchase. It comes handy whenever I fail to decide on the perfect lipstick. It’s more like a tinted lip balm that feels light on m lips yet giving the right amount of tinge for an everyday look. For a tinted-lip-balm-and-mascara person like me it’s a best option that too within budget.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream| Review, Usage, Price

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream| Review, Usage, Price
Hi all, I hope you all are doing great. I can’t believe it’s already September, that means a few more weeks to Durga Puja! If you follow me on Facebook then you might know that I was about to review two products last week, but due to some reasons (read Internet Issues) it got delayed. Today’s review is one of the them. Today, I am going to review a hair care product by Garnier Fructis that was launched long ago. It’s the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream. I know I am too late to review this but better late than never, right?

Let’s get into the review-

Price- Rs 60 for 100g| Rs 100 for 200g

The Oil-in-Cream by Garnier Fructis was launched a few months ago along with a shampoo and conditioner duo from the same range. I have reviewed the Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner here. 
Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream| Review, Usage, Price
Packaging- Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream comes in a yellow, plastic tube packaging with a flip open cap.

Product- Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream is a white, cream like product. Despite being a cream is does not feel heavy on your hair as the consistency is more like a lotion than a thick cream. It’s a lightweight, non-greasy nice-smelling product.
Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream| Review, Usage, Price

My thoughts- First of all, let me tell you all that my hair is not as healthy as it seems in photos. In real life, it is frizzy, unruly and thin. The first time I used this product I was completely overwhelmed by the fact that it actually made my hair shiny, soft and more manageable. I won’t be exaggerating if I say that this product is my ‘deep-conditioning treatment in a bottle‘. This product can be used in three ways- 

  • As an overnight treatment, by massaging the product into your hair and scalp for 1-2 minutes and leaving it overnight. 
  • As an oil, by massaging it into your scalp for 1-2 minutes, just before washing your hair.
  • As a leave-in conditioner, by applying it onto you hair lengths after treating your hair shampoo and conditioner. 

However, I have used only the 2nd and 3rd way. As my scalp is very oily, I have skipped the overnight use. Overnight oil treatments always freaks me out as whenever I try it I wake up like an oily mess. After using my shampoo and conditioner, I take a coin sized amount of product onto my palm and then I run my fingers through the lengths of my hair. I love applying it as a leave-in conditioner because I feel in this way it works best for my hair.

Another thing I loved about this product is its soothing fragrance. If you are reading my blog for a long time you would probably know how keen I am about nice fragrances. I don’t like strong fragrances but I definitely like soothing, sensuous ones. This product has a very mild, soothing fragrance that I would want in every hair product I own. The fragrance lasts for a long period of time, leaving your hair feeling fresh for a long time. 

Next and the most important thing that I liked about the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream is that it does not make my scalp or hair look oily or limp. It does not weigh my hair down. It does not take away the volume provided by the prior hair wash. It does not cause hair fall. It works as a hair oil without feeling like a hair oil. Using it after hair wash makes a huge difference in my hair. I have noticed a very smooth, healthy-looking, manageable hair after using this product. 
Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream| Review, Usage, Price
I recommend Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Oil-in-Cream to everyone who suffers from dull or frizzy hair. Even if you do not have any hair problem you can still try this amazing product. Have anyone of you tried this product yet? Share your experiences in the comments below. I would love to know how it worked for you. The next review post will be up very soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

Unboxing Zorro’s First Wagbox

Hi all, let me first wish you a very happy Independence Day. I hope you all are doing good. Today’s post is going to be a little different from the usual beauty and fashion I usually do. This is going to be an ‘unboxing’ of a monthly subscription box for our furry babies. This box is called Wag Box and it is by Heads Up For Tails. How apt the name is! Your dogs must wag seeing the goodies inside. 
If you are following me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, you might know that I got a new puppy and I am so excited about it! His name is Zorro. He is a 8-weeks-old yellow Labrador Retriever puppy. My first dog passed away about two years back. I decided not to have any pet after him, but I couldn’t find any peace without having a dog around me (Only dog-lovers will understand!). Recently, I was very stressed and shattered due to a tragedy in my life (don’t feel like discussing it). That’s the moment when I finally decided to get a pup. The strange thing is that I got a mail from Heads Up For Tails team about reviewing their services the day I decided to get a dog. The coincidence was really surprising!

Heads Up For Tails has a website as well as a store located at Select City Walk, Saket, Delhi. They have a great variety of pet supplies to offer. From bowls to beds they have pretty much everything you will need if you have pets. Basically, they have goodies for dogs and cats (especially dogs). If you have dogs, Heads Up For Tails is your ultimate destination to shop for your pooch. They have a nice collection of clothes, shoes and other accessories like leashes, collars, clips and bow-ties. They also offer quality food, toys and wellness items like shampoos, conditioners, combs, brushes and many more! Don’t worry if you don’t have a dog. If you had a pet or if you simply are a pet-lover, you can check out their merchandise section for pet-lovers. They have cute mugs, notebooks and other stuff there for you. 
What is a Wag Box?

A Wag Box is a monthly subscription box full of wag-worthy goodies for your pet. They have three different types of subscription packages- 1 month, 6 months and 12 months. The 1-month subscription (which I opted for, costs Rs 1999/-). They send some full-sized products in the box (my box had 7 products in it). It is a LOT compared to the amount you pay for it. At the time of subscribing, you have to fill out a form with the details of your pet so you can get a box customized according to your pet’s need. 
Now let’s dig into Zorro’s first Wag Box- 

This is the Yummy in My Tummy Banana & Oats Premium Dog Cookies. The cookies are made of human-grade ingredients. Zorro loves these a lot. 

The Urine Free spray has been a saviour for me. Zorro is in his potty/toilet training phase but he is learning very slowly. Sometimes he behaves like a gentleman and pees in the bathroom but sometimes he just becomes a rebel. This stuff eliminates any kind of smell or stain. This is a must have for anyone who is struggling like me.  

This collar and the bow-tie is the cutest thing in the box. Though I haven’t put anything on his neck yet but I will definitely use them as he grows up a little bit. 

How cute this the paw and bone printed bowl! Zorro needed something to drink water from and here it is!

I haven’t given this to Zorro otherwise he will chew it up and swallow some of the pages. I am using it to keep record of his growth, his naughtiness, the new things he learn etc. 

This is his most favourite toy and believe me it doesn’t look like this anymore! 
This is it for the post guys. I hope you liked Zorro and his first Wag Box. I am really happy so see how meticulously they added the best products for my pup. I also loved how the box looks like. I am really looking forward to subscribe to them for more such lovely boxes for Zorro. If you have a dog then please share some of your experiences with me. I am getting a hard time dealing with his play-biting. Leave your views in the comments. Be safe & keep smiling!
Disclaimer: Heads Up For Tails team was too kind to gift Zorro his very first Wag Box. My views are unbiased and 100% honest as always.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Review & Demo

Hello all, I am back with a new post as promised. Today I am here with another review post. The product I am going to review today is a very famous makeup remover cum cleanser cum toner. It is the Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water. Bioderma is a well-known French skincare brand. They have a variety of products for almost every skin concern. Sadly, only a few products are available in India. I think among the few the Sensibio H2O is the largest selling product in India.

Before I proceed, let me tell you about micellar waters. Micellar waters are solutions that remove makeup and cleanse your face without the need to wash off. You can cleanse your face with a micellar water and just go to bed right after that. No fuss, right?

Now, let’s jump into the review-

Price: 599 INR for 100 ml and 860 INR for 250 ml.
Packaging: Bioderma Sensibio H2O comes in a clear plastic packaging with a pink flip open cap. The product description and the ingredients list is attached to the bottle in two separate labels. The packaging is sturdy and travel-friendly. The 100 ml pack is almost like a travel-sized packaging which is great if you want to carry it everywhere.

Product: The product is a water-based formula with a substantial cleansing property. It even looks like water. It is mildly scented although it is said to be fragrance-free. The best part is that it doesn’t contain alcohol.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Propylene Glycol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructooligosaccharides, Disodium Edta, Cetrimonium Bromide.

My Experience: I love using a toner after cleansing my face. It gives me a feeling of the cleaner face. I have been using the Bioderma Sensibio H2O for a month and I can say I am totally impressed by its quality. This multipurpose solution helps to remove makeup (even the most stubborn ones) as well as cleanse and tone your skin. As a perk for lazy people, it doesn’t require to be washed off afterwards (but I like to wash my face to finish off the cleansing process). I don’t like my toners to be scented but this one just bothers me much because it is subtly scented. It is safe for eyes. It doesn’t irritate my eyes or trouble my vision. It removes makeup very well and without any hassle. It is able to remove waterproof makeup from my eyes so gently without pulling and tugging. That’s definitely a great thing.

 I have made a habit of using this product on a daily basis. I like to use it in the mornings because that is the time when my skin tends to get the oiliest and grimy. I use it after I cleanse my face with my favourite cleanser. It is non-oily but it doesn’t help with oiliness, neither it claims to do so. When it comes to removing makeup, I like to soak some of the product on a cotton ball or pad and hold it in both my eyes for a good 10-15 seconds and then wipe off. I learnt this technique from Debashree, an Indian YouTuber. It magically removes all the makeup (waterproof and non-waterproof) and grime. I had been using the Lakme Absolute Bi-Phased Makeup Remover but I ended up hating it as it burns my eyes. Now, I am absolutely happy with my Bioderma Sensibio H2O as a makeup remover as well as a mild cleanser cum toner. The best part is that you don’t need to carry a tonne of products when you are travelling. This product is an all-in-one product that can replace your makeup removers, cleansers and toners.
Here’s a demo for better understanding-
Ups:
  • Gently removes makeup and grime.
  • Removes makeup very effectively.
  • Mildly scented.
  • Suits every skin type.
  • Non-oily.
  • Water-based formula feels almost like water.
  • Light-weight formula.
  • Doesn’t need a rinse.
  • Gentle on eyes.
  • Doesn’t break out.
  • Doesn’t irritate the skin.
  • Easily available on almost all the leading online beauty stores in India.
Downs: No downside.
Overall, the product is something every woman needs to have in their kitty. It is affordable in terms of longevity. The 100 ml products go for a long time as it needs a little to clean up your face. I am in love with this product and I will be repurchasing it once I finish it. I recommend this product to everyone out there. I hope you liked my review. If you did then don’t forget to share it with your friends. Share your opinions with me in the comments below. I will be back with a new post soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream| Review

Hi lovelies, how are you all? I can’t believe it’s July already and my birthday is next month! Are you enjoying the monsoon?

Today I am here to review a product that I have been using for almost 2 months now. It is The Body Shop’s Moisture White Shiso Brightening Eye Cream (a mouthful!). Though I started using this almost four months ago, after using it for 15 days I had to stop using it while my skin was going through a major irritation and rashes. Later, I find out that it was because of a moisturizer that I was using then. After over a period of one month, I started using it again. I have been loving this product since then. Now, let’s know more about this product-

Product Description (As per the website):

A dual-action cream that brightens the eye area and improves darkened skin. The premium micro-circulating massager stimulates circulation to reduce signs of fatigue. Contains Shiso extract and Community Fair Trade organic aloe. Suitable for all skin types.
-Brightens and targets signs of fatigue around eyes.
-The skin around the eye area feels fresher and smoother.
-77% agree that skin tone around eyes is lighter after use* * Based on an external survey on 120
Asian women.
Price: 2,295 INR 
Packaging: The Body Shop Moisture White Brightening Eye Cream comes in a sleek white plastic tube packaging with a metal dispenser-cum-applicator and a semi-transparent plastic screw cap.
Product: The product is white in colour, thick but lightweight and creamy in texture. It has a hint of sheen to it.
My Thoughts: The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso 2-in-1 Brightening Eye Cream is a very creamy and lightweight product that works really well to brighten up your under-eye area. I have oily skin and the most affected areas are my T-zone and under-eyes. Although the cream is very creamy, it does not makes my under-eyes greasy. The consistency of this product is neither runny nor very thick. It is just sufficient to spread evenly. It has a dash of shimmer to it that adds a sheen to the under-eye area in order to brighten it up. I like to apply it by taking one dot on my ring finger and warm it a bit with the ring finger of the opposite hand and then finally dab it on the areas where I need it. In this way, the product does not get wasted and a very less amount of product is used. I use the metal nozzle to blend the product into the skin rather than applying directly with it. The metal nozzle surely helps to soothe the eye area. I have not seen any dramatic reduction of my dark circles but the areas are brighter now.
Ups:
  • Moisturizes the under-eye areas very well.
  • Creamy yet not greasy.
  • Brightens up the eyes, giving them a healthy glow.
  • Non-allergic.
  • A little goes a long way.
  • The metal nozzle helps in soothing the under-eye skin.
Downs:
  • The product gets gathers in the outlet, creating a mess.
  • The packaging makes it impossible to keep track of the usage.
Overall, I love this product. It is now a must-have in my kitty. My skincare is almost incomplete without this. Every time I use it, it makes my eye area much more alive. I think you must give it a try once. I bet you would love it. I would love to know your thoughts on this product. I’ll be back with a new post very soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

Garnier Pure Active Neem Tulsi High Foaming Face Wash| Review

Hello lovelies, here I am back with another review as promised. I actually have been trying a lot of new launches for last couple of months and thus there is a delay in posting. Last month Garnier had launched another facial skincare product which is included in their Pure Active range. This is the High Foaming face wash. Garnier say that this product has the benefits of two commonly used Indian herbs- Neem and Tulsi (basil). Today, I will be sharing my experience with this product. 

If you follow me on Instagram (@cherryontopblog), you must have seen a picture of the product. I have been using it since then. I think it has been almost a month since I started using it. I am now ready to deliver my views. So, let’s jump into it!

Price- 105 INR for 100gm and 60 INR for 50gm

Packaging- The first thing I liked about this product is its fresh packaging. It comes in a clear bottle with a regular flip cap. The packaging is sturdy, totally spill-proof so can be traveled with. The transparent bottle allows you to keep checking how much product you are left with. That’s a good thing for me. 
Product- The product is a green coloured gel-based foaming cleanser. The consistency is slightly runny. It lathers a lot thus it is true to its claim of being a high foaming face wash.

My thoughts-  I wash my face with this face wash thrice a day. I normally take two drops on my palm and apply it directly on to the skin. Only two drops are adequate for my face and neck. I like to rub this product on my skin for 10-15 seconds to form the lather (not that it requires that much of time, it is just that like too much lather on my face). The great thing about this face wash is despite being a high foaming cleanser, it doesn’t dry out your skin. I have used foaming cleansers in the past and they used to leave my skin with a stretchy feeling after every use. Garnier Pure Active High Foaming face wash is nothing like them. It rather replenishes the skin giving a natural glow to it. Every time I use this face wash I feel my skin is oil-free but not dehydrated. It makes my face soft and supple. Another thing is that it takes off all the oil from my skin (I have extremely oily t-zone) thus leaving it healthy and fresh. I don not have acne-prone skin so I can’t make a remark on that part. I can say that this product has not caused me any breakout so far.

Overall, I am totally in love with this product. This is one of my HG skincare products now. Being a gel cleanser, it suits oily to combination skin perfectly. The price is within budget. I did not find a single reason to dislike this product. So far I am happy with this product. 
That’s all, people! I hope you found this review helpful. Have anyone of you used this? I would love to know your views too. If you liked this post then don’t forget to share with your friends. Hope to follow my new blogging schedule. I will be here with a new post soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

Gia Bath & Body Works Coffee Body Polish| Review

 Hey dolls, hope you all are doing good. I just noticed that I have not posted any product reviews for a long time. So, here is one for you. I have been planning to review a body scrub for so long and now here it is. Today, I am going to review a very famous coffee body scrub from one of my favourite skincare brands that is Gia Bath & Body Works. If you are following my blog for a long time then you would know that I have reviewed their soaps once on my blog. If you have not read that post, check it now here.
Coffee may not be good for your health but it is really good for your skin. Coffee has the power to reduce tan and exfoliate efficiently. I have always wanted to make a DIY coffee scrub but I failed several times due to my laziness (guilty as charged). But, my wish came true when I found out a jar of the delicious-smelling Coffee Body Polish hiding in my Gia Bath & Body Works products. Gayatri, the owner of Gia Bath & Body Works is too kind to send a freebie with the purchased products. I am really thankful to her for she chose just the right product to surprise me. Thank you, Gayatri di 😀
Now, let’s jump into the review. Let me tell you first that I have been using the Gia Bath & Body Works Coffee Body Polish since April and loving it since my very first use.

The product comes in the plastic jar with an aluminium screw lid which is totally spill-proof. The label mentioning the name of the product, ingredients and price is attached to the jar. The appearance of the product states its handmade attribute. The sturdy plastic packaging makes it travel-friendly. The scrub is very sticky in texture. It smells of real coffee. The moment the whiff enters your nose you immediately know that you have spent on the right product. The Gia Bath & Body Works Coffee Body Polish is high in consistency thus need to be mixed with little water in order to apply evenly all over the body. Because of the intense consistency, a little amount of the product is enough for my entire body. The fragrance lingers for a long period of time which is a bonus for me.

Price: 590 INR for 150gm

The gentle yet effective sugar granules help scour out the dry skin making the skin really soft and smooth. The scrub is not harsh on your skin at all. It doesn’t irritate or dry out my normal skin. I have not experienced any type of skin allergy or side effects on my skin so far. 150 grams of product is priced 590/- which I think is totally fair for a handmade product. I have been using it for 2 months for twice a week and I think I have only finished up 30% of the product so far. So, this is absolutely a smart investment.

I am in love with this product since I started using it. When it comes to skincare we all need something that contains the right ingredients that prove to be beneficial for your skin. Gia Bath & Body works is such a brand that I can completely rely on. I would definitely suggest you to buy this scrub and to try out yourself. You can buy from their website or you can contact them on their Facebook Page to order directly or for any queries.

I hope if found this review helpful. Write in the comments if you have used any of the Gia Bath & Body Works products and why you love them. Comment below telling which is your favourite body polish/scrub so far.  I will be back again with a new post soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

My #HappyHairChallenge with Garnier| Final Verdict

Hello all, how are you? My exams are still running and I have three more papers to attend. Anyways, today I am going to post my final verdict about the Happy Hair Challenge I took with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner duo.
A few weeks back, I started using the new Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner and now as it is officially one month of using it, I am ready to share my views with you.
Before starting the review, I want you to know that I was made to fill in three evaluation forms starting from the initial to final stage of using the duo. In my last post I had shared with you my hair story- the problems and needs before using the shampoo and conditioner and in this post I will share with you my hair story after using them for 30 days.
The problems I faced before using these are hair fall, oily scalp and dandruff. You can see my previous post where I have talked about these issues. The first impression I had while using the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo was that it smelt amazing. It does not have that chemical-y strong scent, rather it was mildly scented which I love. The next thing I knew while applying it to my scalp was firstly, it easily and evenly distributed and lathered very well, secondly, it made my hair feel really smooth during the wash. Its consistency makes it spread evenly. It is not highly concentrated which is again a good quality for me as I don’t have to work hard to dilute it to make it easy for applying. A problem I have with most of the shampoos I have used recently is that the moment I start massaging them into the scalp the hair fall starts, but with this shampoo the hair fall during wash is just one-third of the usual which is really surprising. I won’t say that my hair fall has stopped entirely after using the shampoo for one month, but it surely has reduced noticeably. I did not find anything that would prove that this shampoo controls or prevent the greasiness of the scalp. I find its effect on oily scalp very common to any other shampoos, not anything palpable. I must tell you that it has worked on my dandruff problem quite well and I can see the difference after using it continuously.
The conditioner is supposed to work on scalp and on hair too but I have noticed that using it onto my scalp made the crown area very flat, no volume at all. So, I discontinued using it onto the scalp. Overall, the conditioner is a perfect complement for the shampoo and it works very well to keep the hair tamed. I did not face a great problem of unmanageable hair but the little did I have is now gone with the help of this shampoo and conditioner. My hair is visibly and touchably soft and smooth. It appears more shiny and well-behaved while I keep it open. It is now very easy to try various hair styles without the fear of facing messy hair problems.
The best things about Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner are that this range is super affordable and totally true to its claims. This was my ultimate experience with the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition range. I would totally recommend it to all of you. Hope you liked this post. Will be back again with a new post. Till then stay safe and keep smiling!
