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!

#TwiceAsNice

Making Your Skin Happy| The #TwiceAsNice Project with Garnier



Hey all! How are you? If you follow me on Facebook or Instagam you might know that I lost my maternal grandfather a few weeks ago. Blogging took a backseat since then as I was totally busy in attending his funeral and other rituals. After spending almost a month at my maternal grandparents’ home, I am finally back. I promise to blog more often from now. Now, let’s talk about this post. A fellow blogger and friend, Shreoshe from Bong Beauty Palette, asked me to collaborate with her in an activity called ‘Twice As Nice’ by Garnier. I readily agreed to her proposal because of two things that flashed in my mind at that time. First, I had never done a collaboration post with anyone before and second, the name Twice As Nice impressed me a lot.

We decided to combine the topics we mostly talk about in our blogs, like, she mostly reviews skincare items and my blog is full of makeup items reviews and tutorials. So, we are going to talk about how makeup and skincare works together to make you beautiful and how they are twice as nice!

Shreoshe from Bong Beauty Palette
Shreoshe will tell you how daily skincare is must to make your skin happy and healthy forever. This is what she has to say-

“

As the temperature rises high in summer, our skin has to face the harsh sunlight every day. Adding to that our skin feels oily, sweaty and thus attracts a lot of dirt in summer, not to forget the suntan and blemishes that joins in! Here are some handy tips to keep your skin healthy and radiant during summer:
  • Keep yourself hydrated. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day and carry water bottle while you go out. 
  • Use sunscreen before going out in the morning. Apply the sunscreen at least 30 minutes before you leave the house. 
  • Use natural toner at home like cucumber juice, store it in fridge and use it whenever your skin feels dull or tired. 
  • Cleanse your face twice a day with a good face wash that will remove dirt and oil effectively. 
  • To get rid of tan, mix gram flour with yogurt and apply the paste all over the tanned area. Wash it off after 20 minutes. 
  • Use shower gels and bath salts to get a glowing skin. 
  • Have a good sleep to reduce stress. 

”

Now after the very important skincare regime, you need some more pampering. Let’s allow your makeup products to take that responsibility. I will show you how to do a very easy, fresh and effortless makeup for this summer. Follow the five easy steps to achieve the look that I created-

  • Prepare your base with any BB cream/ tinted moisturizer and concealer you like. Don’t forget to apply a matte and sweat-proof compact on top of that. 
  • To add a natural flush to your cheeks apply some pink/coral blush to the apples of your cheeks. 
  • Tightline your eyes with a black kohl. If you have very oily lower waterline like I do then skip tightlining your lower waterline. 
  • Curl your lashes and apply a good amount of mascara. 
  • Apply your favourite summery pink lipstick.

~My Take on the Garnier Pure Active Duo~


The Garnier Pure Active duo is basically a face-wash and a scrub, a combo that is #TwiceAsNice. We all know that scrubbing your face at least twice a week is very good for our skin as it removes all the dirt and dead-cells that tend to clog our pores and causes breakouts. The Garnier Pure Active Exfoliating Face Scrub is a creamy scrub filled with apricot seed powder. The scrubbing particles are finely milled so that they don’t feel harsh on your skin. This mild scrub gently scours away all the impurities from your skin without making it dry. 

Garnier Pure Active Exfoliating Scrub

Garnier Pure Active Neem Purifying Face Wash

The Garnier Pure Active Neem Purifying Face Wash is rich in all the benefits of Neem as you can tell. It’s a gel based face wash that lathers well but doesn’t make your skin feel stretchy or dry after the wash. It removes the extra oiliness from your skin which is best for me in this season. It also deep cleanses your skin to remove all the dirt from your pores. I love the smell of both the products. They have very refreshing, fruity and summery fragrance in them. I love how they make my skin feel soft and fresh. I have been using them for a week now and so far I am impressed by their effectiveness. I can share my final opinion about the duo only after using them for a couple of weeks. The duo is worth trying out. Have you guys tried the Garnier Pure Active duo yet?

I hope you like this #TwiceAsNice post. I would love if you check out Shroeshe’s take on this topic. If you loved this post then don’t forget to share with your friends. I will be back with another post this weekend. Till then be safe and keep smiling!

Gia Bath & Body Works Luxury Handmade Soaps Experience and Review| Treats for your Skin

Hello all, today I am going to share with you my experience with Gia Bath & Body Works soaps. You must be familiar with the brand name for these soaps have created quite a buzz around, if you haven’t heard about this brand then let me tell you. Gia Bath and Body works is a venture pioneered by Mrs. Gayatri Brown. The soaps she makes are handcrafted and natural, or as they say- “Handcrafted with love”. These soaps are luxurious in terms of their designs, ingredients and effect.  People are raving about it not only because these are somewhat unconventional and out of the box but also because these are perfectly effective for the skin without any kind of side-effect. I would say these are not just soaps, these are arts.
Price: Rs250/– Rs280/-

It is a few months ago when I received a package from Gayatri, packed with three beautiful soaps. The moment I opened the parcel, a whiff blew my mind and my heart away. The aroma that the box contained was out of this world! The parcel contained three of their soaps- Mocha Crème Body Polishing Bar, Charcoal & Cream and Blossom. The three soaps were full of three different magnificent aromas. I am briefly discussing about these soaps-

Gia Bath & Body Works Luxury Handmade Soaps Experience and Review| Treats for your Skin

Gia Bath & Body Works Luxury Handmade Soaps Experience and Review| Treats for your Skin

1. Mocha Crème Body Polishing Bar: This one smells so delicious that you might end up eating it (Not going to lie, I almost did it). I had no idea a soap could smell so yummy. Its aroma is just similar to that of a chocolate cake’s and to some extent it smells like coffee and dark chocolate. Oh, I am confused! It looks like a piece of chocolate pastry with cream on the top and coco powder sprinkled on it. This particular soap is full of scrubbing granules thus it is efficient for cleansing as well as for exfoliating. This soap had made my bath exotic and heavenly. Ingredients such as Shea butter and Cocoa butter help in keeping the skin soft, supple and moisturized even though you are using a soap. I have normal skin and this soap did not cause any trouble to it. I did not experience any dryness or irritation.
Ingredients of Mocha Crème Soap: Liquid Silk, Cocoa Powder, Dark forest coffee grounds, Fresh Cream, Milk, Cocoa Butter, Virgin Olive Oil, Castor Bean Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Distilled water, Fragrance/Essential Oil Blend.

2. Charcoal & Cream: This is another amazing soap from Gia Bath & Body Works. This one smells divine as well. You can definitely feel how natural it is by smelling it. The smell somehow reminded me of the Naked Potion Lotion by Lisa Haydon that I had finished earlier this year and that’s great because I loved it. One thing that you can’t avoid is its stunning design. This surely shows how dedicated the maker is to her work. This is how a handmade, artisan soap should look like. This soap also did not cause any type of irritation to my skin rather it nourished it from within.
Ingredients of Charcoal & Cream Soap: Liquid silk, Fresh Cream, Activated charcoal, Milk, Cocoa butter, Virgin Olive oil, Castor Bean oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Distilled water, Fragrance/Essential oil blend.

3. Blossom: If you are a floral scent lover, then you must get this soap. It smells so fresh, so floral and absolutely non-chemically. The soap looks really exotic with a few colourful specks on it that resembles scattered flower petals. This particular soap has a lot of ingredients (oils and butters) which restore the lost moisture and eliminate any dryness. Again this does not cause any irritation. At least for me, it didn’t.
Ingredients of Blossom Soap: Shea butter, Olive oil, Goats milk, Cocoa butter, Rice bran oil, Coconut oil, Oats cream, Sodium Hydroxide, Colorant, Aqua, Fragrance/Essential oil blend.
In today’s life, everybody is concerned about their skin, specially women. No one takes any chance when it comes to choosing skincare, makeup or bath and body products. In this situation, if a brand provides you the best products which at the same time are vegan, natural and chemical-free then no one can restrain themselves from trying these beauties. The price might be quite high but if you have used it then you would know that these soaps are worth the price. These are handmade, made with high quality handpicked natural ingredients, they look extremely exotic and they last really long. I don’t mind spending for the products that are full of the above mentioned qualities. The regular soaps comes in a great quantity so I make sure to cut them in halves and then use one half at time. I never was a soap-lover, I used to use shower gels and creams but Gia Bath & Body Works has completely changed my idea of soaps. I have ordered a couple of soaps afterwards and loving them. I will review them as soon as I finish them. I wish to order their cupcake soaps and cake soaps next. They also have a range of body butters, skin polishes and shower gels. If you have not tried them, do it now. You can contact Gayatri through their FacebookPage.

I hope you liked the post. Please comment below for any query or suggestions. You can mail me anytime at sayantineebh@gmail.com. I would really appreciate if you join me on Facebook and Twitter. Also, to know more about my life follow me on Instagram. Love you all and see you in my next post. Till then keep spreading joy. Ciao.

5 Must-have Skin Care Products to Combat Winter

I can’t believe winter is already here. I don’t like Winter much because I am a very lazy person who refuses to leave the bed in the mornings, imagine what will happen when I’ll be forced to leave all the cozy blankets and comforters behind and get out of bed. I am already very scared. The only thing I like about winters is I get to chuck out the oiliness around the t-zone, but as a disadvantage of the advantage I get anextremely dry skin. Such a drama! Nevermind, so let’s get into the post to know what my 5 Holy Grail products are for winters-
1. Lip Balm: Be it winter or summer, I can’t live without lip balms. End of discussion. My lips are not extremely dry, but I keep them hydration all the time as I don’t want my lips to get chapped. By now, it has become my habit to put lip balm in every one hour.  I am currently using Nivea Med Protection balm and it worked wonder for my lips that were acting up for a few weeks.

2.Moisturizer:  As mentioned earlier, my skin is very, very oily throughout the year until the extreme cold weather. In winter, it becomes flaky dry. So, I need two to three types of moisturizer for my skin. For summer, I need a light-weight oil-free moisturizes, in fall I need a moisturizer little more hydrating and in winter I need extra hydration. Currently, I am using Cetaphil – though it feels quite heavy on my skin while application but it sits into the skin in a few minutes and sometimes I also like to use the Naked Potion Lotion as it soothes the skin and deeply nourishes it.
3. Cleanser and Toner: Same as the moisturizing part, I need a face wash that does take away the dirt and extra oil but doesn’t make the skin dehydrated. Though I am a huge Clean and Clear fan, but I can’t use it in winter as it makes me dry. I am currently using the Cetaphil Cleanser followed by a wash.
Thalgo Cocooning Tonic lotion is my favourite toner for winter. This toner doesn’t make the skin dry after use but takes off the dirt and oil properly and leaves the skin hydrated. This toner is very gentle on my skin, doesn’t contain paraben, doesn’t contain silicon and most importantly it smells like Vanilla! Need I say more?
If you planning to buy something online, you can definitely go for The Great Online Shopping Festival offers; i.e.; theGOSF dealsonly at CupoNation where you can find the widest range of retailers showcasing their coupons and vouchers for free!
4. Body Butters/Lotions:  Like my skin, my body needs extra hydration as well. I usually have a normal body skin for the rest of the year but in winter, it acts crazy. I started using The Body Shop Almond body butter and later on I realized that TBS body butters are not meant for my skin. They are way too heavy for my skin although it’s winter. So, I skipped the idea of applying body buttes on my skin (though the TBS body butters keep alluring me), instead I am using the normal Vaseline Total Moisture body lotion as I have seen it’s the only thing that works for me, nourishes my dry skin and keeps it moisturized for a long time.
5. Heel care: My heels become dreadful when the winter arrives. They start cracking. I don’t know why this happens. I have used the ordinary healing creams, consumed Vit E capsules but nothing worked. It was all until the Wishbox- Cosmic Bloom arrived at the doorsteps. I got a product which I had shown you in the unboxing postlong ago, it’s a salve for cracked and extremely dry skin. Gehwol is a german production which worked wonders for my heels. I am using this religiously twice a day after cleaning my feet thoroughly. I can’t tell you how effective it is as the cracks are gone and the heels feel even softer. I can comb out the world to get this product again.
 So, here are the 5 must-have skincare products in my drawer. What are yours?

The Body Shop Drops of Youth Eye-Concentrate Launch Event and Bloggers Meet

The Body Shop Drops of Youth Eye-Concentrate Launch Event and Bloggers Meet| Courtesy: The Body Shop India
If you are following me on Instagram you would know that I was invited for a product launch and bloggers event at City Center, Kolkata by The Body Shop. We, at first were kept in some suspense about the product. On 13th November, 2014, Bollywood actress and the brand ambassador of The Body Shop India, Jacqueline Fernandez was in the city to unveil the product. The product is an eye-concentrate from the Nutriganics range, named as Drops of Youth Eye concentrate. We, the Kolkata bloggers were presented with the Drops of Youth Power Duo which consists of the newly launched eye-concentrate and a skin serum.
Drops of Youth Power Duo is rich in the perfect combination of Nature and Science. The stem-cells of the Edelweiss plant that grows in the Alpine region has been used to made the products. These products- the Power Duo i.e. the eye concentrate and the serum get absorbed to the skin and make it more youthful and fights the signs of ageing effectively. When the lovely Aradhika Mehta, the National Manager of The Body Shop India was explaining us the formulation the only word that kept resonating in my mind was ‘Natural’- who doesn’t like to feed their skin with natural ingredients.
The Drops of Youth Power Duo makes your skin firmer and younger looking while the eye-concentrate makes the eye area bright and the eyes wide open. It fights fatigue and all the ageing signs like under-eye bags and fine lines.
Apart from the launch, the bloggers were offered some fun activities like taking instant pictures, eating delicious snacks, getting their portraits and caricatures done and a lot of chit chat and enjoyment. It was my first time attending an event, so I was a little nervous at first but not till Swarnali (Dreams and Drama) came up to me and gave me a hug. Then I got to meet a bunch of lovely Kolkata bloggers. I always wanted to meet Swarnali and Shayoni and The Body Shop India made my wish come true. I am really happy that I got the opportunity to meet the lovely girls there. I can’t forget to name the two beautiful ladies- Aanchal and Aastha who were very sweet throughout the event and made me feel very comfortable there.

Gifts we were presented with- Drops of Youth Power Duo
 I was so excited to talk to the people there that I almost forgot that I had brought my camera. Anyways, I took a few snaps that I have posted here, the rest of the photos were by The Body Shop India Facebook fan page. I will mention that in the captions. We were presented with the Power Duo and currently they are on the testing table. I have started using them and so far I am loving them. I will review the products after the testing period is over.
Thanks for reading the post. I hope you liked it. For more information on the products visit www.thebodyshop.in and for more pictures of the event visit their Facebook page.

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon Face & Body Gel Scrub | Review

Hi everyone!

Today, I am going to review an item from my favourite skincare products. It’s a face and body scrub from Fab India which I am loving at this time. I am not a serious skincare routine follower but I love scrubs, I feel it cleans my facial skin most effectively. I love how my skin feels after scrubbing it with this product. 

Product Category: Scrub
Brand: Fab India
Price: 250ml for 100ml

Packaging: This scrub comes in a semi-transparent plastic tub packaging with a screw lid. It also has an extra white stopper lid to stop spilling out of the product. A label with name and ingredients list is stuck onto the tub.

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon Face & Body Gel Scrub

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon Face & Body Gel Scrub

Product: The product is a gel-like substance with a lot of finely milled granules which are claimed to be ground walnut shells. The consistency is just perfect- not too thick, not too runny. It has an intense orangey and cinnamon-y fragrance to it which lingers for a good time unless you tend to sweat a lot. The fragrance makes the bath very exotic and refreshing.

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon Face & Body Gel Scrub

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon Face & Body Gel Scrub

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon Face & Body Gel Scrub

Effect: Though it’s inscribed on the label that it’s a face and body scrub, but I feel it is only effective for the face. The consistency is certainly not proper for the body skin. It fails to scour out dirt and dead cells from the hands and the rest of the body as it is a bit too mild for that. It does a pretty good job for the face. The skin looks so smooth after the process that you can’t resist your hands from touching the face all the time.

Ups:

  • Made of natural ingredients.
  • Soap free formula that doesn’t dry out the skin neither it makes the skin oily. 
  • Gel like consistency is convenient for applying.
  • Refreshing, exotic fragrance.
  • Doesn’t irritate the skin.
  • Very mild formula that results in a gentle exfoliation. 
  • Able to scour out dead cells and impurities effectively.

Downs:

  • Fails to work for the rest of the body.


All I have to say is- This is the best scrub I’ve used so far. It’s inexpensive, natural and last but not the least, very effective. I am not at all satisfied with the result it gives when it’s used on the hands or any other part of the body. It works really well on my combination skin without letting it dry out. It succeeds in retaining the natural moisture of the skin as it is completely soap free. The finely pound walnut shell doesn’t tend to be harsh on the skin, it gently exfoliates it. The gel formula is always best for my skin. 

My Rating- 4.6/5

Will I buy it again- Certainly!

NAKED Potion Lotion by Lisa Haydon | Review

Hello all! I was missing in action for a long time. Actually I had lost my enthusiasm and the will and determination somewhere. I know this cannot be an excuse but I had to tell you what happened to me. Anyways, as I am back, I want to share with you guys the review about a product that I loved during the month of February. If you read my January Favourites post, you must have seen a product I mentioned there. Yes, I am talking about the much raved product, the Naked Potion Lotion. 
I received this product in my January Fab Bag (read about the January Fab Bag here) and since then I am loving this product a lot. Naked is an organic skincare line by the gorgeous supermodel, Lisa Haydon. The thing I liked the most about this moisturizer is it is 100% organic and preservative free. 
Product Category: Moisturizer
Brand: NAKED
Price: 1,300 INR for 200gms (Available at fabbag.com)

NAKED Potion Lotion by Lisa Haydon

Packaging: The Naked Potion Lotion comes in a glass jar with a metallic gold screw cap. A small note about the product and the brand, printed on a hand-made paper, also comes attached with the jar with a jute twine. The packaging makes the product more natural and rustic.

The Product: The Naked Potion Lotion is a light-weight moisturizer with a lotion-like consistency. The cream is white in colour. It has Aloe, Rose hip oil, Geranium, Avocado and Lavender extracts which nourishes the skin and revitalizes it. 
On my hand

Blended

My Experience: My first impression about the product was ‘OMG! It’s by Lisa Haydon!”. Lisa, I think, is one of the hottest supermodels and is blessed with a great skin. At first, when I received the product, I was happy because I thought it will help me get a fresh and dewy skin like Lisa Haydon. And, it did. I have used it throughout the month of February and as it was cold, my skin didn’t act up. The cream, as I told you earlier, is very light-weight and blends very well into the skin. It has a cooling effect to it that your skin feels rejuvenated at once. It gives the skin a dewy finish that is good for dry skin beauties. As my skin is super-dry in winters, it’s good for me in winter but in summer it accentuates my oily zones and my skin looks greasy. The cream has a nice and fresh fragrance that keeps reminding you that it’s a 100% organic product. As this is a pure organic product, it’s best before 3 months from the date of packaging and lasts longer if stored in refrigerator. My overall experience with this product is good. I think it’s good for me to use it during winter than in summer.

My rating- 9/10

Will I buy it again- Yes, in the next winter!

I highly recommend this product to all dry skin beauties and those who have oily/combination skin, you can also try it in winters.

Thanks for reading the review throughout. I hope you guys have enjoyed it. Please feel free to comment down below. Have a great day ahead. See you next time with a haul post J

What’s in My January Fab Bag?

Hi all! I hope you all are doing great. Temperature her is increased a bit, so now I am always in a comfy and warm mood. I know I am running a bit late in blogging, I am not posting regularly. I want you to know that my studies for Post-Graduation have began and I am always filled with Edward II or The Tempest, so blogging has become slower than ever. Nevertheless, today I am going to post a sneak-peek of what I got in this year’s January FAB BAG. So, let’s jump into the post.
As I told many times before that I have been so lucky since I subscribed to the Velvette Fab Bag. I hhave never got anything that has disappointed me so much. This month’s bag was not an exception. I have got some lovely products, one of which is a lip product that made me happy J
This is the overview of what came in my January Fab Bag-
The January Fab Bag is the worst bag I have received after the October one. It is a red coloured bag which is so cheap-looking. I didn’t like the bag at all.
Here is the list of products I received in the Bag-
1. Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment- Antique Bronze
2. Nyassa Alphonso Body Butter
3. Naked Potion Lotion
4. The Nature’s Co Spearmint Body Wash (Bonus)
The lip gloss is my favourite product from this bag. This is an everyday n*de shade with some shimmers.
This body butter is less like body butter and more like a concentrated lotion. It smells like mango smoothie and reminds me of the ‘mango days’ in summer.
The Naked is a handmade, organic skincare line by supermodel Lisa Haydon. I have got the Potion Lotion by Naked which is a face moisturizing lotion. I love this because I love using organic products and it’s also preservative free.
The card provided by the website which consists of the products-list, says it’s the The Nature’s Co Lavender Body Lotion whereas I actually have got The Nature’s Co Spearmint Body Wash. Anyways, I personally didn’t like the strong minty smell. But I don’t mind using it as it’s a bonus item.
Also, I have got this cute calender 🙂
The overall experience with the January Fab Bag is great. I have got some nice products including a Sally Hansen and a Naked product. With this, my 3 months subscription comes to an end and I am definitely convinced to subscribe again.
