Organic Harvest Activ Cleansing Milk for Normal Skin | Review & Price

Hi, guys! Hope you are doing well in hot and humid weather. Today, I’ll be reviewing another skincare product from Organic Harvest. You might have read my review on their Masseuscious Damage Control Face Wash. I have fallen in love with their products since then. So now, when they wanted me to try the new Organic Harvest Activ Cleansing Milk, I readily accepted! I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I am all set to share my review with you. Let’s start-

Price- Rs 1195/- for 100ml (Buy here)

Packaging- The product comes in a bottle form with a pump dispenser that has a transparent plastic cap. The packaging is sturdy but it isn’t as travel-friendly as I would like it to be. The bottle is quite heavy and I don’t think it’a convenient enough to carry a heavy bottle along.

Organic Harvest Activ Cleansing Milk for Normal Skin Review & Price | Cherry On Top

Key Ingredients- Aqua, Certified organic Decyl glycoside, Provitamin B5, Propylene glycol, Sodium benzoate, Potassium sorbate and Perfume. No Color Added.

How to Use- “Wet your face. Apply the product to your face in a circular motion, making sure each spot gets covered with cleanser. Keep massaging in a circular motion for thirty seconds to a minute. Rinse thoroughly.”

How It Works- The richness of natural minerals and Provitamin B5 in this fortifying cleanser soothes the skin by removing excess oil without tightening or over drying.

My Experience with Organic Harvest Activ Cleansing Milk for Normal Skin

As I told you earlier, I have been using the Organic Harvest Activ Cleansing Milk for the past few weeks and I can tell you that I am impressed with it. I am too picky and choosy when it comes to skincare products but this product has successfully made a place in my heart (read skincare stash). The product says that it is meant for normal skin types but it works equally great for those who have combination skin. I have combination skin, my t-zone is nothing less than an oil-field during summers. This product works wonders on me.

I had a feeling that cream/lotion based cleansers will make me more 0ily but that’s not the case for this product. It applies as a lotion but when I rinse it off my face, there’s no trace of oil left on my skin. Instead, it gives my skin the perfect amount of hydration and suppleness.

This product removes makeup quite effectively. For makeup removal, I apply it on my face in circular motions, giving it enough time to break down all the makeup and then wipe it off my face using a damp cotton round. Then, I wash my face thoroughly with cold water. One thing I must tell you guys, don’t use it around your eye area. Once I tried to remove my eye makeup with it and it burnt my eyes like hell. Never ever do that!

The Organic Harvest Activ Cleansing Milk is free from parabens, mineral oils, animal products and alcohol. This product is very gentle on the skin. I would recommend this product to you if you have normal to combination skin and you want a cleanser that would get rid of all the makeup and impurities without dehydrating your skin.

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-

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

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?

That was it for today’s post. I hope you liked it. Make sure to share this post with your family and friends if you did.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas- Skincare Basket for Mommies

Hi, guys! Hope you all the doing great. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and most of us are busy choosing the perfect gift for our moms. Today, I am going to share with you guys some gems that my mom loves to use and are definitely effective for everyone.

Mommies are the most careless persons on earth when it comes to their skincare. They work hard for the family, to feed us and takes care of every single trivial thing for us and forget to care for themselves. This Mother’s Day, we can pamper our moms by gifting what they deserve- some skincare love!

My mom used to do nothing for her skin before, then I forced her to maintain a proper skin care regime. She, like an obedient child, followed my instructions and now she does not skip her skin care routine no matter what! My mom has normal to dry skin. These are the products she uses every single day-

1. Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Facewash (Buy here)

Now this one is my mom’s all-time favourite. This face wash is actually good for oily and acne-prone skin as it claims to have the anti-bacterial power of Neem. I myself have used this and loved it. It’s great to take away any oil from your face, plus, it keeps breakouts at bay.

2. Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Serum (Buy Here)

This product is supposed to fight seven skin problems including aging and wrinkles. My mom is 40 something and she needed to include an anti-aging serum in her skin care regime.

3. Fab India Vitamin E De-Pigmentation Cream (Buy Here)

I love Fab India for their pocket-friendly skincare products that are effective too. I have used and loved their Orange and Cinnamon scrub so decided to make my mom try this de-pigmentation cream. She had a few blemishes on her cheekbones which have reduced a lot using this product. It is very lightweight cream with the perfect moisturization power.

4. VLCC Matte Look Sunscreen Lotion (Buy Here)

Actually, I bought this for myself but it somehow did not suit my skin so I gave it to my mom. She uses it every day, even if she is staying at home and not going out anywhere. It is a part of her post-shower skin care routine. Moms who spend most of the time in the kitchen must use a good sunscreen with good SPF to protect themselves from the heat that comes from the stove.

5. The Body Shop Strawberry Body Polish (Buy Here)

When I asked mom to pick something from her shower that she loves the most, she picked this one up. This was bought by me for myself, but when I went on with the Gia Bath and Body Works Coffee Body Polish, I gave it to my mother. This thing has a delicious smell! It makes your skin soft, supple and moisturized, plus, its scrubbing particles effectively yet comfortably removes dead skin.

So, these are the 5 skin care items that my mom swears by. The best thing about these products is these are suitable for all skin types. You can assemble all of these in a nice basket along with some chocolates, flowers, and handmade cards and gift it to your mommies. If you try this idea for this Mother’s Day then don’t forget to let me know her reaction.

What are your plans for tomorrow?
Tell me in the comments.

That was it for today’s post. Until next time, be safe & keep smiling!

Five Fabulous Tips for Oily Skin

It would be an understatement to say that I dislike summers. Bangs stuck to the forehead, makeup melting at a lightning speed and pimples attacking my face are just some of the problems that my super oily skin has to face during summers. Needless to say, summers and dog days are synonymous for me. However having dealt with such a skin type for more than 5 years, I have learned about some amazing tips which help me in combatting it to an extent. Since I am an ardent reader of beauty blogs, I have discovered some pro make-up artist tips which have helped me in doing the same. I am going to share those very tips and tricks with you in this post. Let me get started with them!

Have a break-up with harsh cleansers

I was under a misconception for a long time that by using harsh cleansers, oil will be away from my oily skin for a considerable amount of time. Clearly, I was under a false impression. I wondered how my oily skin still felt so oily just within minutes of washing it. It’s after a bit of research that I discovered that I was wrong. When you use a harsh cleanser, it strips off moisture content from your skin. In a bid to compensate for it, your skin produces even more oil. This is why it is always recommended to use a gentle cleanser that removes oil and impurities without creating dryness on the skin. My favourites are Forest essentials Kashmiri Saffron cleanser and Dove beauty moisture face wash. Use Jabong coupons to purchase them at discounted prices with the bonus of Cashback.

Five Fabulous Tips for Oily Skin| cherryontopblog.com

Don’t touch makeup the wrong way

How many times have you looked into the mirror after a long, hot day and realized where did all the foundation go? The obvious next step after seeing this is taking out the compact from your purse and touching up your face to mattify it. But wait! Think for a moment! Does putting on powder on an oily skin even make sense for you? The right way to touch-up makeup is by first blotting away the excess oil by using a blotting sheet and then using compact.

Use a moisturiser

Another widely spread misconception among oily skinned girls is that they should not use a moisturiser. Do not think of moisturiser as your enemy. To keep your skin hydrated, it is essential to use a moisturiser. Not using a moisturiser will also make your makeup look cakey. Oily-skinned people should user a water based moisturiser it hydrates skin without making it greasy. These types of moisturisers are lightweight in texture and get in absorbed completely. Clean & Clear Skin Balancing Moisturizer is much-raved drugstore option. You can find a huge variety of moisturisers online on Limeroad. Do not forget to avail Limeroad coupons via CashKaro to get awesome discounts and Cashback offers to lower your bill.

Layering is the key

Be it eyeshadows or blushes, you need to learn the art of layering. If you are fed up of your beauty products fading away within a short span of time, start layering. Layer a powder blush over a cream blush or stain to prolong the staying power. Use cream based eyeshadows underneath powder eyeshadows. Secure pencil eyeliners with a liquid eyeliner on top to avoid fading and smudging.

Seal your efforts with a fixing spray

Picture this: You spend more than an hour in front of the mirror, putting on multiple products on your skin labelled with labels like “Long-stay”, “non-comedogenic” and more. It’s been only 10 minutes for you in the sun and you can already feel your makeup evaporating. That is super annoying, right? Bid au revoir to such a painful situation by getting hold of a makeup fixing spray. A makeup fixing spray should be sprayed from an appropriate distance. It will help you in making your makeup last for long hours in spite of the sweltering heat you will be in.

My Morning Skincare Routine for Winters

Morning Skincare Routine for Winters| cherryontopblog.com

Hi guys, today I am very excited to share my winter time everyday skincare routine with you guys. Ever since I started posting makeup looks on my blog, you guys have been constantly requesting me to post about my skincare routine. This actually is the most requested post on my blog since I started blogging. I am happy that I am finally posting this on my blog.

Before starting off, I would like to let you know a few important things. First, I am already blessed with a good skin, I never had breakouts, freckles or blemishes. I occasionally do tend to get one or two small pimples somewhere around my brows or on my nose but not more than that. I have a combination skin type which means my t-zone is oily and the rest of the face is normal to dry. But, in winters, my t-zone becomes really dry and flaky. So, my winter skincare routine is totally different from my summer skincare routine. The second thing I would like to tell you is that I do not say you can get a perfect skin just by copying my skincare routine. We all have different skin types. What works for me might not work for you. If you have the exact skin type like I have then you can surely use the products I use. If you are not taking care of your skin then do start the basic at the earliest. Don’t forget to cleanse, tone and moisturize your face at least twice a day. Skincare is the best investment you choose for yourself.

My morning skincare routine consists of three parts- Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing. I will now be talking about each step elaborately and I will also mention the products I use.

Cleansing

The first thing I do right after getting up in the morning is brushing my teeth followed by cleansing my face. I make sure there is no change in this routine. The cold splash of water immediately wakes me up and makes me feel fresh. I love that feeling. I try to wash my face thrice a day but most of the days I end up washing it only twice. I don’t use any particular face wash for a long time. I keep switching my face washes firstly because I want my skin to be responsive, secondly and most importantly because my skin doesn’t react weirdly to different products. Anything and everything that I use suits my skin well. I just finished using my Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser (review will be up very soon) which I mentioned in my October Favourites post. Currently, I am using the Vitamin E Hydrating Face Wash by Gia Bath & Body Works. I received it as a deluxe sample in my November Subscription Box.

Scrubbing

I prefer scrubbing my face after I wash my face. I scrub my face every alternate day. I don’t like the feeling of bumps on my face plus, I have blackheads appearing every day. So, it is necessary for me to use a scrub regularly. I am currently using the VLCC Indian Berberry Face Scrub which is quite good in keeping my face hydrated even after scrubbing. So far my favourite facial scrub for winter is the Lotus Whiteglow Yogurt and Oatmeal Scrub, mostly because of its creamy texture and larger scrubbing particles.

Toning

I was not much into toning my skin until I found out how seriously effective it is for my skin. In summers, it takes care of the oiliness and in winters, it balances my skin properly. There are different types of toners for different purposes available in the market. I am currently using the Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water which I use as a toner, mostly because it balances the moisture during winters very well. Also, it keeps my face fresh throughout the day.

Moisturizing

Winter is very harsh to my skin. My skin feels like a paper if I don’t use a good moisturizer during winters. Recently I have found out my holy grail moisturizer for winters and it is the Cetaphil DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion. I barely need a moisturizer for the rest of the year but in winters, I need a heavy duty moisturizer to take care of my dry, flaky skin. This moisturizer does a great job hydrating my face for a long, long time.

My under-eye areas tend to get very dry during winters. So, I don’t forget to moisturize under the eyes as well. For that, I use my long time favourite eye cream which is The Body Shop’s Moisture White Shisho Brightening Eye Cream. I love this cream for two reasons- first, it has a great consistency that it doesn’t feel heavy on the delicate areas and secondly, it has a slight shimmer to it which helps to brighten up my under-eye areas.

For moisturizing my lips, especially during winters, I use a family-favourite cream that I have been using since childhood. It is the Boroline Antiseptic Ayurvedic cream. Being a Bengali, I have grown up relying on this cream. I love it. Nothing is as effective as Boroline on my chapped lips in winter.

I was not a skincare person even a couple of years ago. The only skincare I used to do is to wash my face and apply a cream. But, that eventually ended up as a fail. I used to get frequent breakouts even if it was not that time of the month. I am so happy that I finally gave my skin some time and care and it gave me a great result. Now, I make sure I don’t skip my skincare routine whatsoever. I hope this post helped in encouraging you to start off with your own skincare regime. Do let me know if you have any query.

What is your favourite facial cleanser at this moment?

Let me know if you want me to post about my nighttime skincare routine for winters. I would love to share that with you. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Un-boxing Gia Bath and Body Works November Subscription Box

Cherry On Top Blog- Indian Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle Blog

Hello people, how are you doing? First of all, I would like to thank you all for loving my last review post. I am really grateful to have readers like you. You inspire me to do better each time. Also, I have been trying a new set up for my images. A lot of you guys have loved the new images. Thank you so much for your support.

Today, I am up with an unboxing post. You guys know how much I love Gia Bath & Body Works products. I have been wanting to try their newly launched subscription service but could not get a chance until last month. So, I chose to order the November Subscription Box for myself. I received the box a couple of days back and fell in love with the products instantly. The box contains 2 full-size and 3 sample size products which are completely handmade, organic and cruelty-free. Let me show you what I got inside the box.

1. Butter Creme Whipped Soap (Full Size) : This is something I have been craving for since their launch. A soap in the form of whipped cream is beyond amazing. I have not tried it yet but believe me, it smells divine! I will post a full-fledged review on this one once the testing period is over.

2. Vitamin E Hydrating Face-wash (50ml): This face wash is a treatment-in-a-bottle if you have dry skin. In winters, my skin behaves in an exactly opposite way than how it does in summers. It’s dry, flaky and extremely unhealthy during the cold months. I have been washing my face with this face wash ever since I got it and I can tell you that I am really loving it. It’s thick, lathers really well and keeps my face hydrated. Good job, Gia Bath & Body Works!

3. Oceanus Shower Gel (50ml): This one smells D-I-V-I-N-E! I had to write this in caps because I can’t make you smell is shower gel. It has a calming aroma that lingers for almost a couple of hours on me. I will definitely buy a full size of this once I finish this bottle up.

4. Yogurt Hydrating Face Mask (15gms): This is a face mask that supposed to hydrate your skin as you can assume from the name. This comes in the form of a dust that you need to mix up with rose water or normal water, make a paste and apply as a mask. I have not tried it yet bu I think I am going to love this.

5. Cuticle Butter (Full Size): This is, as you can tell from the name, is a cuticle butter that has a balm-y texture. As the description card says, it is made of shea and cocoa butter with sweet almond oil. I am yet to try this product but I am totally in love with the aroma. I will let you guys know my final thoughts on it very soon.

So, this are the 5 products that I received in my first ever subscription box by Gia Bath & Body Works. I am really impressed with the selection of the products for this month’s box. You can book next month’s subscription box here.

Which of the products you want me to review first?

Thanks for reading this post. See you next time with a new one. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

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.

”

Making Your Skin Happy| The #TwiceAsNice Project with Garnier

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!

What’s In My January ’15 Fab Bag?| Beauty Unmasked

Hello all, hope you’re doing great. As you all know (only you have been following my blog), I have renewed my subscription with Fab Bag for three months. January is the last month of the subscription. So, this is my last Fab Bag as of now. Let’s see what I got inside my January Fab Bag and how did I like my Fab Bag- January ’15 contents.

Here’s how the January edition Fab Bag looks like. It’s a shiny pink bag- the material is of a faux leather kind of finish. I like it but I can’t say I love it as compared to the last two Fab Bags I received. Not so much of my liking.
