TBC by Nature Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub Review

Hi, guys! Today I am back with another skincare product review. For the last few months, I have been trying out various new products. One of them is this TBC by Nature Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub. I am a big fan of exfoliating as it instantly makes the skin bright and renewed. Now without wasting more time, let’s jump straight into the review.

Price- Rs 350 for 100g

Key Ingredients- Pineapple, Pomegranate, Keratinase: Effectively peel and help uncover a smooth, fresh, new complexion.

Packaging- TBC by Nature Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub comes in a regular red-coloured plastic tube packaging. The tube has a secure closer that ensures there is no spillage. The tube comes in an outer packaging made out of cardboard. The packaging makes it easy to carry around.

How to Use- You have to apply this scrub on clean, dry skin and then massage in a circular motion to roll, lift and sweep away dead skin cells. Next step is to rinse your face well. For extra enzymatic exfoliation, leave on skin for one to five minutes then rinse.

My Experience with TBC by Nature Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub

TBC by Nature Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub Review | Cherry On Top

The first time I read the product description as written on the pack, I knew I had to try it. It said, “A peeling gel that visibly rolls, lifts, and sweeps away dead skin cells when massaged onto skin. Multi-action enzymes (pineapple, pomegranate, and keratinase) along with cellulose effectively peel and help uncover a smooth, fresh, new complexion without drying, irritating, or causing undue stress to skin. It removes impurities and decongests clogged pores for a youthful, radiant look.” Their claim was so huge and fascinating that it immediately made me want to try it.

I have been trying this scrub for a week now and now I am ready to share my review with you. TBC by Nature Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub is a mild exfoliator with fine exfoliating particles. The granules don’t cause any kind of irritation. Despite being used on a dry skin, it is not harsh on the skin. The gel spreads evenly on your face when you apply it so that it is easy to massage in. This product does not lather up.

Now, let’s talk about its effectiveness. TBC by Nature Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub mildly exfoliates the skin leaving it soft, supple and brighter. It is very effective in removing dead cells and blackheads. Although I haven’t seen anything dramatic like ‘rolling, lifting and sweeping away dead skin’ but it definitely cleanses the face, helps unclog the pores and peels the dead skin cells off your face. This product contains β-White whitening peptides and it’s made using Nanotechnology. Honestly, I don’t know much about these. I haven’t seen any whitening effect on my skin but it definitely brightens up my face whenever I use it.

That was it for today’s post. I hope you found this post helpful. Make sure to share it with your family and friends if you did. Pour in your thoughts in the comments.

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review

Hi, guys! I am back again with yet another post for you. A lot of you got really excited when I shared a picture of the Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask that I bought from Nykaa during their Valentine’s Day sale. I have been using it since then and I am so impressed with it that I felt the need to share my thoughts with you guys. So, here I am sharing my review on the Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask.

Price- Rs 300 for 25g, Rs 550 for 50g ( Buy here)

Ingredients- Oatmeal, Organic rice flour, Prunus dulcis (Almond meal), Juglans regia (Walnut), Ocimum basilicum (Basil), Rosa (Rose), Lavandula (Lavender), Mentha (Peppermint), Fuller’s earth, Activated Carbon, Mentha piperita (Peppermint essential oil), Piper nigrum (Black pepper essential oil), Citrus bergamia (Bergamot essential oil), Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree essential oil), Juniperus communis (Juniper berry essential oil)

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review | Cherry On Top

Packaging- Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask comes in a simple transparent plastic jar with a screw-open lid. A wooden spoon also comes along with the product. The label on the tub has all the information including ingredients, usage and effectiveness. I really like the simplicity of the packaging. It looks simple but definitely not cheap.

How to Use- Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask comes in a powder form. So, you need to make a paste out of it using either water or milk. I like to use it with organic rose water.

My Experience with Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review | Cherry On Top

As I said earlier, I have been using this for the past few weeks. I use this pack twice a week and every time I use it I see visible results. I use rosewater to make a paste out of the powder. When the paste is made, you can see that it is a little crumbly. This is because of the finely milled oatmeal and almond. I apply the mask evenly on my face using a spatula and then let it dry until its semi-wet. Then, I just rub it on my face in circular motions and finally wash it off using lukewarm water. I finish it off by splashing cold water on my face.

The oatmeal and almond meal in this mask efficiently exfoliates the skin and removes blackheads. One of the two main ingredients, activated carbon, sucks out any dirt from the pores and unclog them. Another main ingredient is Tea tree oil which is really effective on acne. Its antibacterial property helps fight acne. Then there is peppermint which is great for oily skin as it controls the secretion of excessive sebum and prevents the pores from being clogged and causing acne. My skin is not acne-prone so I can’t tell you if this face pack really works on acne or not.

Juicy Chemistry Tea Tree & Charcoal Face Mask Review | Cherry On Top

I would highly recommend this mask to you. The smaller size comes for Rs 300 only and you get the benefits of a scrub and a mask in one product. This is definitely a great value for money. This product is all-natural, contains no preservative and good for sensitive skin. Those who have oily or combination skin must try it out this summer. This controls excess oiliness without making the skin dry.

What’s your favourite face mask at this moment?

Vichy Normaderm Night Detox Anti-Imperfection Clarifying Care Review

Hi, guys! Happy Saturday to all of you. Hope you had a great week. Today, I’ll be reviewing the night cream/treatment that I have been loving lately. If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll know that I had shared a picture of the Vichy Normaderm Night Detox after a few days of using it. Vichy has become one of my favourite skincare brands at the moment. I have been using and the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum for a couple of months now and love it to the core. Now, I’ll tell you why the Vichy Normaderm Night Detox has become my favourite.

Price- Rs 990/- for 40ml (Available at- Amazon, Nykaa)

Ingredients- Aqua, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat, Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid, Isononyl Isononanoate, Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate,  PEG-20 Stearate, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Silica, Zea Mays Starch, CI 19140, CI 42090, Glyceryl Stearate, Triethanolamine, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Polyacrylate, Perlite, Poloxamer 338, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Tetrasodium Edta, Eperua Falcata Bark Extract, Xanthan Gum, Dextrin, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydoxyhydrocinnamate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Acrylates Copolymer, Parfum Code F.I.L.: C161769/6

Vichy Normaderm Night Detox Review | Cherry On Top

Packaging- The Vichy Normaderm Night Detox comes in a deep green squeeze tube with a steel-coloured screw open cap. The tube comes in a same deep green coloured cardboard outer packaging. The packaging is very sleek and simple.

Texture- Vichy Normaderm Night Detox Anti-Imperfection Clarifying Care cream has a white, creamy gel like texture. The formula of this product is very light-weight and it gets absorbed into the skin very quickly.

How to Use- Apply a pea size amount of this cream after your night time cleansing and toning routine. You can apply it all over your face or on the problem areas.

My Experience with Vichy Normaderm Night Detox Anti-Imperfection Clarifying Care

Vichy Normaderm Night Detox Review | Cherry On Top

It’s been almost 15 days since I have started using the Vichy Normaderm Night Detox and it took me a couple of days to see the results. You already know how oily my skin is especially around the t-zone. During the winter, my skin was dry but as the weather has started to change, my skin has started to become oily too. That is the moment when I started using this night treatment and it completely changed my night time skincare routine. But before telling you how it changed the game, let me tell you why is this cream important to you. Vichy says-

“At night, oily skin accumulates toxins and produces an excess of sebum which leads to the development of imperfections and bad skin quality. Normal skin produces less toxins and sebum and wakes up to clean skin. Upon awakening, oily skin shows a dull complexion and dirty look.”

This cream is meant to target the excess sebum that your skin produces overnight and it also supposedly detoxifies it. It also clears out your pores and makes them less visible. I don’t have acne issues but the occasional ones that I get haven’t made any appearance during these 15 days. I am blessed with a clear skin so I cannot really tell you if it really works on blemishes and imperfections or not but I can definitely tell you that it controls sebum. Yes, it does. I used to wake up with an extremely oily t-zone which has completely gone when I have this overnight cream on. My face looks fresher and brighter. Also, after I wash my face with a facial cleanser, my skin doesn’t feel dehydrated. The Vichy Normaderm Night Detox gives you a long-lasting moisturization. It also blurs the pores to some extent. It gives a bit cooling sensation which I think I am going to love during the summers.

I am in love with this product. This product is a must-have for those who have oily, acne-prone skin. This cream is also non-comedogenic which means that it does not clog your pores and it is also non-allergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. This cream is an amalgamation of two important technologies- Detox Technology and Purifying Technology. The combination of Eperuline, LHA and Salicylic Acid. Eperuline works as an anti-aging agent. Then there is a concoction of Perlite and absorbing powders which work in purifying your skin. I love this product and I can swear by it. I am looking forward to seeing how well it work during the hot and humid summer.

Have you used anything from Vichy yet?

Nykaa So Matte Fall/Winter Collection Lipsticks Irish Coffee & Caramel Margarita | Review & Swatches

Hello, beautiful people! As I promised I am back with a new post. In today’s post, I’m going to review and swatch two lipsticks- Irish Cofee and Caramel Margarita from Nykaa So Matte Fall/Winter Collection. If you are a regular reader of this blog then you would know that I had reviewed Nykaa’ So Matte lipsticks before, when they were just launched.

Price- 399INR

Nykaa So Matte Fall/Winter Collection Lipsticks Irish Coffee & Caramel Margarita | Review & Swatches| Cherry On Top

Nykaa So Matte Fall/Winter Collection Lipsticks Irish Coffee & Caramel Margarita | Review & Swatches| Cherry On Top

The packaging, formulation and longevity of the Nykaa So Matte Fall/Winter Collection lipsticks are exactly same as their regular So Matte collection. So, I am not going to make this post a lengthy one just by writing the same words. If you haven’t checked the previous post about the Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks then I’d suggest you check it out for a detailed discussion on the above-mentioned aspects of these lipsticks.

Among a huge range of shades, I chose to pick two (almost) nude/neutral shades because I have been loving neutrals these days. I checked out a couple of swatch videos and ended up liking these two, namely Irish Coffee and Caramel Margarita. I thought they would be perfect for any season and would suit my skin tone perfectly.

Irish Coffee is a pretty nude, brown shade that would suit Indian skin tone very well. This shade would be the perfect nude for fair to medium skin tones.

Caramel Margarita is a very warm-toned brown that again would suit all Indian skin tones. I love this shade the most.

Overall, I love these two shades from the Nykaa So Matte Fall/Winter Collection. These two shades suit most Indian skin tones, these are perfect for everyday wear, these are perfect for both daytime and night time, these are hydrating, creamy, easy to apply, give a smooth and even pigmentation, last for almost 4-5 hours. These lipsticks do not bleed but they do transfer (obviously, because they are not completely matte). I feel very comfortable wearing these lipsticks. You can check out the entire collection here.

New Skin18.com Sheet Masks Review| Cherry On Top
Review

New Skin18.com Sheet Masks | My Experience

Hello, everyone! Today’s post is a long pending review on some of the sheet masks that I got from Skin18.com. If you don’t know what Skin18.com is all about then do check out My Haul from Skin18.com & Mini Review. In this post, I am going to talk about three more Skin18.com sheet masks that I tried. It’s been ages since I used them up which you might know if you follow me on Snapchat. I mostly share my first impressions on new products there. Now that I am all done with the testings, I have decided to sit down and talk about them. So, let’s start-

The new Skin18.com sheet masks that I got are these three- Cracare Anti-Aging Snail Repairing Mask, Mirum Fresh Fruit Pomegranate Real Nature Mask Pack and Luke Green Tea Essence Mask. Now, I am going to briefly talk about all of them.

My Experience with the New Skin18.com Sheet Masks

CraCare Anti-Aging Snail Repairing 3 Steps Mask ($2.90)

New Skin18.com Sheet Masks Review| Cherry On Top

This basically is a 3-step facial treatment that is meant to firm your skin and lighten your complexion. This pack comes with an Active Ampule that is the first step, the second step is an Essence Mask and the concluding step is a Night Cream. You have to apply the Active Ampule so as to prep your skin for the next step. The Active Ampule is a silky, lightweight cream that needs to be absorbed into your skin especially around your eyes and lips before the second step which is the sheet mask. The mask is drenched with a slightly gloppy essence. The instruction says to put on the mask for about 20-30 minutes although I think it might have been there for an hour without drying.

When I removed the mask after 30 minutes, the essence was still there on my skin. The remaining essence is meant to be massaged into the skin. It takes no time to get absorbed completely without making the skin oily. Then, the final step is to apply the Night Cream. The Night Cream is again a creamy textured product, a little bit thicker than the Active Ampule. However, it gets absorbed into the skin quickly and keeps the skin well moisturised and nourished till the next morning.

I love this stuff because it is hydrating, non-greasy, makes the skin visibly brighter and provides a healthy glow, the skin looks and feels smooth, soft and supple the next morning. It does not quite work well to lift or firm my facial skin. Also, it did not do anything to the pores. You can definitely use it if you have a special occasion and want a glowing skin without putting much effort in brightening it up. Also, it has snail slime extract which is great for your skin as it is full of nutrients like hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein enzymes, antimicrobial and copper peptides and proteoglycans.  It stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. A lot of Korean skincare product has snail extracts in them like the ElishaCoy Skin Repairing Skin Cream that I had talked about in the past.

Mirum Fresh Fruit Pomegranate Real Nature Mask Pack ($1.25)

New Skin18.com Sheet Masks Review| Cherry On Top

 

This sheet mask contains pomegranate extract that is responsible for restoring the elasticity of the skin. This particular mask sheet is made of 100% natural cotton which is great. This mask is meant for all type of skin. This mask takes care of the dry and tired skin as well and can be applied every day. Pomegranate extract is great for tightening your skin and making it look younger. You have to apply this mask to a cleansed and toned face for about 15-20 and you can see a difference instantly after removing it.

The essence has a cooling property and it gets absorbed into the skin quickly. It gives a boost of hydration to the skin instantly. You can feel your skin become soft and supple right after using it. The essence is non-oily. This mask causes no skin irritation or breakouts. I wish they had the instructions written in English at the back of the pack.

Luke Green Tea Essence Mask ($1.65)

New Skin18.com Sheet Masks Review| Cherry On Top

As you can tell it from the name of the mask, it contains green tea extract. Green tea has manifold benefits to it. To start with, it is packed with antioxidants that fight premature ageing, restores damaged cell, works great to prevent breakouts and so on. This mask specially formulated with green tea extract to firm your skin and minimise the appearance of fine lines.

The essence penetrates deep into the skin and revitalises and hydrates it, makes your skin look and feel healthy from within, soothes and refreshes the skin, makes it soft and improves elasticity. Although it made my skin very supple, it did not do anything dramatic to make it look firmer or younger. This mask also did not cause any breakout or skin allergy.

Skin18.com has a huge variety of sheet masks for different skin types and concerns. You can get the above-mentioned masks directly from their website which is skin18.com.

Have you ever tried any Skin18.com Sheet Mask?

Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream | Review, Price & Buy Online

Hello, guys! Remember, I told you about Himalaya Herbals’ Rich Cocoa Intensive Body Lotion in my post on the Himalaya Herbals Winter Care Range? Now, Himalaya Herbals has introduced a new version of that lotion, that is the Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream. This new variant is exclusively formulated for dry to very dry skin. When I received this product in my mail, I was really happy. I want to thank Himalaya Herbals for creating something like this. Now, let’s get into the review of the Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream.

I have been a huge fan of Himalaya Herbals since I was a teenager. My first face wash was from Himalaya Herbals and since then it has been my holy grail skin care brand. I was extremely excited to know that they have come up with their very own range of body butters or, as they call it, body creams. Although my facial skin type is the combination type, the rest of my body is dry. In winters, it becomes even drier. During winters, I need something that is extra-nourishing, extra-hydrating and extra-longlasting. Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream gives me that extra TLC.

Price- Rs 270/- for 200g (Buy here)

Packaging- The Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream comes in a chocolate-coloured plastic tub packaging with a screw lid. On both the top and the bottom sides of the tub are labels containing all the information about the product. There is an extra protective covering underneath the lid to prevent the product from spilling. The packaging makes it very easy to travel with.

Ingredients- 

Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream Review, Price, Buy Online| Cherry On Top

Texture & Formula- The Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream is supposed to be a body butter, thus, it is very obvious that it would have a thicker consistency than a body lotion or a normal cream. The texture of this product is very creamy, looks and feels very thick but when you apply it onto your body, it blends really well and gets absorbed into the skin very fast. The butter-like formula ensures nourishment and good hydration. Despite being a thicker consistency, it does not feel sticky.

My Experience with Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream

Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream Review, Price, Buy Online| Cherry On Top

It’s been more than a week since I started using the Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream and I can tell you that I am completely in love with this. Quality wise, I think it would be fair enough to compare this body cream with the body butters I used from The Body Shop. The formulation is definitely richer than the Rich Cocoa Intensive Body Lotion, but it feels very light-weight on the skin and definitely does not make it greasy. Although it is a thick consistency, but it also has a fast-absorbing formula which I love about it. The ingredients contain herbal actives and Himalaya Herbals is a brand that can be relied on when it comes to their ingredients.

The key ingredient of this body cream is Cocoa butter which is known to work wonders for dry skin. The intense emollient property of Cocoa butter nourishes and moisturizes the skin and makes it soft and supple. The Vitamin E in it protects the skin from any external harm that is caused by the sun or pollution. The hydration lasts for a really long time. The longest I had it on my skin was for 9 to 9 and a half hours which is pretty satisfying for me. I would definitely buy another tub as soon as it is finished. The Rich Cocoa Butter Lip Balm was another of my favourites from this range. The I would highly recommend you guys to try it out yourself if you are looking for a body butter that matches the quality of a TBS body butter but in a cheaper price.

Have any of you tried the Himalaya Herbals Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream yet?

TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream| Review

Hello, guys! How are you doing? This winter, I have been trying a few of moisturisers and winter care creams. I liked a couple of them and some of them did not impress me at all. So, I thought of sharing with you what I liked and simply avoid what I didn’t. In today’s post, I am going to review one of the moisturisers that I liked, that is, TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream.

Price- Rs 70 for 100g (Buy here)

Packaging- TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream comes in a pale-yellow plastic tub packaging with an orange lid. The name of the product along with all the information about the product is written on the top and the bottom of the packaging.

TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream Review| Cherry On Top

Texture- The texture of the TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream is neither too thick nor light-weight. It is a soft buttery consistency that absorbs easily into the skin.

Ingredients- Aloe vera extract, Almond oil, Honey, Cocoa butter, Wheat germ oil, Peptides, Ashwagandha extract, Vitamin E

My Experience with TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream

TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream Review| Cherry On Top

I have used this TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream for a couple of weeks to know if it suits me or not, mainly because I wanted to share a detailed review with you guys. Eventually, it has become one of my favourites as I have mentioned earlier. I am not a fan of cold creams as they make my skin greasy in the name of ‘glow’. I have had a few bad experiences with different brands previously. But, the TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream is an exception. It is definitely not the most light-weight cream I have ever used but it definitely is a fast-absorbing yet very moisturising cold cream. Although I haven’t tested the 24-hour long-lasting test (Obviously!), but it keeps the skin hydrated for a long time. The best thing about the cream is that it is free from parabens. Also, it has SPF 15 in it so you don’t need a separate sunscreen! What I don’t like about this cream is that although it does not make the skin look oily initially but with time I can observe a little bit oiliness around my t-zone. I won’t recommend this cream to those who have oily to very oily skin. Those who have combination skin can make it work in the coldest months. I think this cream is ideal for those who have very dry, flaky skin during winters. To sum up, I want to say that TBC by Nature Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream is a great formula for the price you pay. Check out their Facebook Page for more.

Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream| Review

Hi, guys! It’s Saturday and I am here with a new post as promised. My new year resolution was to post thrice a week- on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and I am happy to see that I have successfully pulled off the first week! Today, I am going to review an iconic hair styling product- Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream. 

TIGI is a brand that makes amazing hair care and styling products. Their Beadhead range has some great quality products for almost all types of hair. We all have one or the other hair concerns, and each is different from the other. In my case, I have an oily scalp and dry, frizzy hair. My hair concern has always been to tame that frizzy, unruly hair until I found this miracle by TIGI. My hairstyling game has changed completely since I got introduced to the Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream. I’ll tell you how.

Price- Rs 1000/- for 100ml (Buy here)

 

Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream Review| Cherry On Top

Packaging- The Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream comes in a very cute bright pink coloured plastic bottle with a bulb-shaped cap. It comes with a pump which makes it easier to control the amount of product you need for your hair. All the information about the product is written on the pack itself. The packaging has made it easy to travel with.

Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream Review| Cherry On Top

Ingredients- Dimethiconol (Imparts shine and body), Propylene Glycol (Conditions and moisturizes hair), Mica (Enhances shine), Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil (Provides gloss), Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163) (Enhances shine).

Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream Review| Cherry On Top

The Product- The Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream is a white cream with lots of finely milled shimmer particles. The consistency is like a mousse or whipped cream which makes it a light, airy cream to be applied to the hair.

How to Use- Take a dime-size amount of the Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream and apply to your dry hair before or after blow-drying. I apply it through the length of my hair, avoiding the scalp area.

How does the Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream work?

Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream is meant to tame unmanageable hair and also those pesky flyaways. This cream actually works as a leave-in conditioner that not only works to manage frizzy hair but also adds shine to your hair so that it looks healthy and party-perfect! This product is a boon for those who have dry, wavy or curly hair.

I received this product right before my bestie’s wedding which was a four-day-long event. You know how freaked out you are at your best friend’s wedding? You want to look perfect, your dress needs to be a unique one, your makeup needs to be on point, your hair needs to be well-behaved. That was all that I wanted for my bestie’s wedding. That was the first time I tried out the Bedhead by TIGI After Party Smoothing Cream to tame my frizzy hair as I had planned to keep my hair open. The wedding took place almost around midnight and I was all decked up since the evening. I was amazed to see how brilliantly the product had worked on my hair. I kept my hair in place for about 10 hours! I could have hardly believed this if it wasn’t me who experienced it. For 10 long hours, my hair stayed in place, no flyaways, no frizz, no tangles. The shine and the softness remain till the next wash. I am utterly impressed by the product and I would definitely recommend you guys to give it a shot.

The best thing is that it does all the good work without weighing down the hair or making it look or feel greasy. It maintains the volume of the hair and does not make it limp. I am utterly impressed by the product and I would definitely recommend you guys to give it a shot.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum| Review

When it comes to skincare, French brands have always ruled the market. Vichy is one of the leading French skincare brands which is not only famous in France but also across the globe. Vichy is also loved by Indian women as it has proved to be a trustworthy brand that works great for the Indian wet and dry tropical climate. I have recently switched things a little bit in my skincare routine and have included the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum in it. I have been using this serum for quite some time now so I thought of sharing a review of it with all of you. Let’s start-

Price- Rs 1850/- for 30ml (Buy at Amazon, Nykaa)

Packaging- The Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum comes in a pretty blue glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The pump is protected with a clear plastic cap which closes tightly ensuring no spillage. Although the look of the product is great but it is not safe for travelling. The glass bottle has to be handled very carefully which is quite a task for me.

Ingredients- Aqua/Water, Glycerin, Dimethicone, PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Dimethiconol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenoxyethanol, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan), Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide/Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Poloxamer 338, Disodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Acrylates/ C 10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Cross polymer, Parfum/Fragrance, Code F.I.L. B163732/2

Texture- Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum is a whitish serum that has a thin, silicone-y texture when it comes out of the bottle but when rubbed between the fingers the texture becomes watery. Having a thin texture allows it to get absorbed easily and instantly into the skin.

How to Use- After thoroughly cleaning and toning your face, take out a small amount of the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum onto your palms and dab it onto your face. A full pump is enough for the entire face and neck area. Use it twice a day- in the morning and at the night.

My Experience with Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum

I have been using this product for almost a month now and I can definitely say that it has become the most favourite part of my winter skincare. If you have normal to dry skin or if you have combination skin that gets dry during winters then this product is for you. I use it twice a day before moisturizing my skin. Before starting off with my experience with the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum, I jus want to let you know a little bit more about my skin and its concerns. I generally have a combination skin which means normal skin with an oily t-zone. During most part of the year, it behaves like that but during winters it becomes very dry. Sometimes I observe the appearance of dry patches or skin peeling around my mouth and my nose. Last year, I had a hard time dealing with a couple of dry patches around my lips which was really irritating. I do not usually get acne on my face except for that time of the month or if I get any kind of anxiety or stress or if I skip my skincare routine which is a rare case.

The Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum is really hydrating as you can guess from the name itself. At least for my skin type, this product hydrates my face enough for it to need any extra moisturizer. Those who have very dry skin must apply a moisturizer. Although I do not skip on my moisturizer , it keeps my face moisturized for good 9-10 hours when applied on its own. As it gives a nice hydration, it can be used as a multipurpose skincare product in summers.

Not only the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum gives a surge of hydration to the skin, but it also replenishes the skin, improves the skin texture and makes it soft and supple for a long time. You can definitely notice a healthy glow on your face after using it. I won’t say that it has brought about a dramatic change to my skin but it has definitely improved it a bit. This year, I did not observe any kind of dry-patches or skin peeling on my skin which was severe last year. To add more, Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum is hypoallergenic, free from parabens, non-comedogenic, non-oily and safe for sensitive skin. The only bad thing about this product is that it contains silicone.

With this, I sum up my first review of 2017. Hope you had a great New Year’s Eve. Wish you a very happy new year. May this new year bring new opportunities to your lives.

Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal- Review, Swatches & Price

When it comes to an instant makeover and a no-fuss, running-late makeup look, I am very much dependent on intense black eyeliners and statement lip colours. Ever since I finished my Ikonic Gel Eyeliner Pencil I have been hunting for something like that. Finally, my quest came to an end when I found the Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal.

Faces has recently launched this iconic product which is basically an eye pencil with the formula of a gel liner. I have used this Gel Kajal for quite a few times and now I am ready to share my own views on the product.

Price- Rs 549 for 1.2g (Buy here)

Packaging- Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal comes in a black cardboard box with all the details printed on it. The kajal is just like a normal eyeliner pencil with a smudger sponge at the end. Both the ends are protected with transparent plastic caps. It is not a retractable eye pencil. You have to sharpen it in order to keep using it. It comes with its own sharpener.

Texture- The texture of the Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal is very creamy. It glides on the eyelids very smoothly and effortlessly which ensures an easy and even application. Even in this cold weather, it has not become dry. The finish is definitely not matte. It gives a semi-matte to a glossy finish.

Pigmentation- The pigmentation of the Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal is amazing! It gives out an intense black colour which is great for special occasions. I have barely used any eyeliner/kajal from an Indian brand that has this kind of dark black colour.

Wear Time- The staying power of the Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal is quite average. It is very soft and smooth to apply but it does not last for a long time. On my eyelids, it lasted for about 2-3 hours at a stretch. It lasts longer on the upper lash line in comparison to the lower lash line.

To sum up, I can say that I really liked the formula of this kajal. The intensity is really great. I really liked how it glided on my eyelids and gave an opaque black line in a single swipe. Being it a soft and smooth formula, smudging it out is very easy. I always reach out for this kajal whenever I have to glam up within a very short time. This kajal would be a great option for those who need a quick glam makeup without using a tonne of products and for those who are always on the go. The sad part is that it does not stay long on the waterline. I have oily waterline and the product started to smudge pretty quick on my bottom lashline. If you are one who has extremely oily eyelids then this product is not for you.  Except for the fact that it needs sharpening quite often (which results in wastage of product) and its wear time I liked everything about the Faces Ultime Pro Intense Gel Kajal. This product did not cause any kind of allergy or irritation to my eyes.

If you want me to do a Quick Smoky Eye Tutorial using this then please let me know in the comment. I’ll be very happy to do it for you.

 

That’s all for today’s review. I’ll talk to you in my next one. Till then, be safe & keep smiling! Follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for regular updates. Add me on Snapchat for more fun and a sneak-peek of my life.
