Fabindia Avocado Foot Cream

Fabindia Avocado Foot Cream Review

by Manveen Grewal

Winter season can be terrible for our skin. One part of the body which is the most neglected during this season is our feet. Cracked and dull looking feet are common during winter. But this doesn’t mean that we have to rush to salons for expensive pedicures or foot spa treatment. Regular use of a good foot cream can help keep your feet soft during winters. In my search for the perfect foot cream, I chanced upon FabIndia Avocado Foot Cream.

Details about Fab India Avocado Foot Cream

This cream is made up of naturally moisturizing Avocado oil and beeswax. It claims to soften dry and calloused heels and feet. Avocado oil is great for skin. It contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents which help keep skin soft and youthful.

Beeswax, a natural skin softener, is also a source of vitamin A.

Price: Rs350 for 100ml

Shelf life: 36 months

Sensitive skin alert: No

Natural/Vegan/Organic?

No

Fabindia Avocado Foot Cream 2

Ingredients: Purified water, urea, isopropyl palmitate, glycerine, petroleum jelly, emulsifying wax, beeswax, cetyl  alcohol, dimethicone, imidazolidinyl urea, fragrance, methylparaben, disodium EDTA, neem seed oil, Avocado oil, Propylparaben, cl 61570, cl 19140

My experience with Fab India Avocado Foot Cream

Packaging: It comes with the traditional tub packaging of Fab India. It is easy to use, though I personally feel that tube packing is better. Fab India has tried to improve its packaging as their new metallic lid closes tightly and looks better.

Application instructions: Wash and scrub your feet before using the cream. Apply liberally and massage onto feet, paying close attention to heels and calloused skin. Cover your feet with cotton socks overnight to seal in moisture.

Colour, texture, and fragrance: This cream has a light green tint to it. The texture is quite soft and creamy. It has a pleasant fragrance that is not very overpowering.

Experience: The cream is very soft and not very dense and oily as you would expect a foot cream to be. It works well on the feet but does give it eight to ten days of regular application to show the results. I have been using it for the last one month and have found it to be very effective. The best time to use it is at night. Just wash your feet and apply it on the soles. It gets absorbed quickly so you don’t have to worry about dirtying your bedsheets.

Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get instantaneous results.You will notice the cracks in your feet healing in about a week. For those who do not have cracked heels, the results may be faster.

Swiss Tempelle Deep Purifying Face Wash

Who is it for? Swiss Tempelle Deep Purifying Face Wash has been made to suit all skin types. With neem, tulsi and glacier water as its key ingredients, it has been designed to help prevent pimples.

Swiss Tempelle Deep Purifying Face Wash

Price

Rs 75 for 50 ml.

How to use?

Gently massage on to wet face, avoiding eye area. Rinse off thoroughly.

Any sensitivity alert?

No, this product contains natural extracts and is paraben-free.

My Experience with Swiss Tempelle Deep Purifying Face Wash

Packaging

This face wash comes in a plastic flip top tube. The lid closes tightly so there is no chance of leakage. The 50 ml packaging is quite convenient to carry around for traveling.

Texture

This face wash has a smooth texture. It does not lather very well but that does not mean that it is not effective. I found it very refreshing and effective as a skin cleanser. A pea-sized amount is enough for the face. It rinses off easily leaving the face dust and oil free.

Fragrance

It has a pleasant fragrance which is slightly citrusy. It stays with you for a few minutes after you have washed your face.

My experience

This face wash works well as it leaves the skin refreshed and dirt-free. It does not overly dry up the skin as is the case with many other face washes. It is quite effective for oily skin as well. I have been using this facewash for over a week now and have noticed that my skin feels oil-free for a longer period of time.

Neem and Tulsi have anti-fungal properties that protect our skin from pimples. For me, these two herbs along with glacier water have proven to be very effective as I have not noticed any outbreak of acne since I have started using this facewash.

What I like?
  1. Contains natural extracts of neem and Tulsi
  2. Paraben-free
  3. Affordable price
  4. Suitable for all skin types
  5. Refreshes the skin
  6. Compact and easy to use packaging
  7. Does not dry out skin
What I don’t like?
  1. Does not lather well

Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes, it is a good buy, especially for the summer season. I will recommend it for people with oily skin as it helps keep the skin oil free for longer, which is a major concern for people during summer months.

Biotique Bio Soya Protein Shampoo

For a person who has to go for root touch-ups regularly, I often am on a lookout for products that can help my hair color last longer. So when I came across Biotique Soya Protein Shampoo, I was quite excited to give this biotique shampoo a try. The sales person assured me that shampoo would work wonders for my hair as it was 100 percent natural.

Biotique Bio Soya Protein Shampoo

Details about Biotique Soya Protein Shampoo

This rich formula cleanses hair gently, without disturbing the natural ph balance. It claims to prevent color fade, protect perm and promote healthy shine. This product also claims to be organically pure and preservative free.  According to the packaging, this is not a cosmetic product, it has therapeutic properties.

Price: Rs 159 for 190 ml

Biotique Bio Soya Protein Shampoo 1

My experience with Biotique  Soya Protein Shampoo

Packaging:  The shampoo comes in a translucent white colored plastic bottle with a screw on green colored cap. The cap fits quite well, which makes it leak proof. All the details like the ingredients and directions are given quite clearly. The packaging is quite basic and simple, the company needs to brighten it up to make it look more attractive.

Application instructions: Apply liberally to wet hair and massage gently into a rich lather. Rinse well with water.

Colour, texture, and fragrance: The shampoo is milky white in color and is quite thick. The fragrance is mild and pleasant, which is a surprise considering the use of all natural ingredients. Unlike other natural shampoos, it lathers quite well. And you do not have to use too much of shampoo per wash.

Experience: The main reason I bought this shampoo is to make the color of my color treated hair last longer. I must say this shampoo has not disappointed. I have already used it a few times and I can definitely see that the color has faded much lesser. I have oily hair so my hair turns greasy unless I wash it every second day. Treating your hair to chemical based shampoo every second day can definitely not be good. This shampoo takes care of that aspect as well. Since the bottle mentions that it is for dry, damaged hair, I thought it will not suit me, but that is not the case. My hair feels quite soft and shiny after the wash.

  5. Lathers well
  6. Leak-proof  packaging
  7. Affordable
  8. No animal testing
  9. Preservative-free
Cons:
  1. Biotique needs to make the packaging more attractive
Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes, it is a good shampoo for color treated hair. Since this shampoo is chemical free and you will be using hair color less often, this shampoo is definitely a boon.

FabIndia Haldi Chandan Face Pack 2

FabIndia Haldi Chandan Face Pack Review

by Manveen Grewal

What is it? FabIndia Haldi Chandan Face Pack is a face pack made with turmeric extract and Multani mitti. It claims to clear the skin and enhance the complexion with regular use.

FabIndia Haldi Chandan Face Pack 2

 

Price: Rs 390 for 100 gms

My experience with FabIndia Haldi Chandan Face Pack

Packaging:

This mask comes in a plastic tube with a picture of the main ingredients on it. Basically, it has a simple, no-nonsense packaging.

Colour, texture, and fragrance:

This face mask has an unmistakable sandalwood fragrance. It is cream colored and has the soft texture of Multani mitti. Turmeric is famous all over the world for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps in the treatment of acne. Sandalwood is a natural astringent. It also helps in toning the skin.

Application instructions:

Apply directly to face and neck in upward strokes. Keep till dry and then wash.

Experience:

The first thing that you notice about this face pack when you start applying it, is that it is very soft and creamy. It spreads quite evenly on your face. About a minute after applying it on my face I started feeling a slight tingling sensation. This, I feel, is due to the presence of turmeric in the pack.  However, it was gone soon, which was a relief. The pack takes about 15 to 20 minutes to dry. I washed it off with cold water and it came off quite easily.

My skin felt quite refreshed and there were no signs of redness, which I was expecting because of the tingling. It definitely gives a warm glow to the skin. It also helped to remove tan from my skin. Whether it clears the skin remains to be seen as I have used it only once. Overall it is a good product.

Women with sensitive skin should take a patch test before they use this pack. I definitely did not expect so many non-natural ingredients in a Fab India product.

FabIndia Haldi Chandan Face Pack 1

Overall Performance of FabIndia Haldi Chandan Face Pack

Pros:
  1. Refreshing sandalwood aroma
  2. Makes the skin smooth and glowing
  3. Did not cause any breakouts
Cons:
  1. Not for women with sensitive skin
  2. High price
  3. Contains chemicals
Would I repurchase or recommend?

I would definitely repurchase as it worked very well for me. I have oily skin and it has given me the results I was looking for. This product works great for oily skin but I would not recommend it for those with sensitive skin.

Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick M461 1

Lakme Lipstick M461 Review

by Manveen Grewal

Lakme Enrich Satin M461 Lipstick: If there’s one lipstick brand you will find on every Indian woman’s dressing table it has to be Lakme. This brand has been around for years and it keeps reinventing itself to keep its products on the popularity charts. The fact that it is also one of the most affordable brands is also a big plus point. In fact, we all have our own favorite Lakme lipstick shades that we cannot live without and so do I. Today I will be reviewing one of my favorite shades the Lakme M461.

Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick M461 1

Price: Rs 260 for 4.3 g

My experience with Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick M461

Packaging:  This lipstick comes packed in a silver cardboard box. These lipsticks come in a silver container with a transparent cap. It comes in the regular twist-up packaging. The name Lakme is engraved on the lipstick and this gives it a classy appearance. The shade number is mentioned on the bottom.

Application instructions: Apply the lipstick by starting at the centre of your lips and working your way to the corners. Press your lips together and you’re ready to go.

Colour and texture and fragrance:

I have always felt that each woman must a have a brown, pink, red and maroon lipstick in her make up kit. This shade of maroonish brown has been a part of my kit for years. It has a soft texture and glides smoothly on the lips. Its moisturizing quality doesn’t dry the lips. In my opinion, it is an ideal shade for darker skin tones. If you have pigmentation on your lips, this shade will cover it well. The fragrance is light and pleasant.

Experience:

I love this shade of brown/maroon as I feel it suits me. It is a great shade to wear during winters and evening occasions. Since this lipstick is very creamy in texture, it has a moisturizing effect on the lips. You do not have to put more than one coat. More than one coat makes the shade too dark and it also tends to bleed.

On the flip side, because of this creamy texture, the lipstick transfers easily. Also, it does not stay on for more than two to three hours. Use a lip liner for a better and longer lasting finish and to prevent the color from bleeding.

Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick M461 3

Lakme Enrich Satin Lipstick M461

Pros:
  1. Soft
  2. Hydrating
  3. Inexpensive
  4. Enriched with Vitamin E
  5. Contains olive oil
  6. Nice shade of winters
Cons:
  1. It transfers easily
  2. Poor staying power
  3. Boring packaging
  4. Can break easily
Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes. It’s a nice shade of lipstick for winters. Overall, it is easy to apply and inexpensive.

Bajaj No Marks Neem Face Wash 1

Bajaj No Marks Neem Face Wash Review

by Manveen Grewal

Bajaj No Marks Neem Face Wash : What’s the number of rule of good skin care? Wash your face with a good face wash every day. A good face wash should remove dirt, oil, dead cells and makeup and keep the skin looking fresh. However, with such a wide variety of face washes available in the market, it becomes very difficult to choose the correct one for your skin type. I discovered Bajaj No Marks Neem Face Wash on my visit to the local supermarket. It was the presence of ingredients like neem, lemon, and clove that attracted me to try it.

Bajaj No Marks Neem Face Wash 1

Details 

This face wash is enriched with encapsulated beads of neem that help in removing excess oil and deep-rooted dirt. It also claims to provide relief from sunburn, blemishes and acne/pimple problems.

Price: Rs 45 for 60g

 

My experience with Bajaj No Marks Neem Face Wash

Packaging:  The face wash comes in a transparent tube with a flip open cap. It’s got green labels on it which have all the details of the product. The packaging is quite sturdy and travels friendly.

Application instructions: Apply all over the wet face in circular motion. Wash off and pat dry.

Colour, texture, and fragrance:

This face wash is green in color with dark green beads in it. It’s gel-like in texture and spreads quite easily on the face. It has a strong neem fragrance. You can also smell the clove once you apply it on your face. Even though the fragrance is quite strong, it is quite refreshing.

Experience:

I have oily skin, so I have to be careful about the kind of products I use on my face. I bought this face wash as it claims to prevent pimples. The face wash is dark green in color which does not appear to be very natural. The dark green beads (which according to the brand are beads of neem) get dissolved as you rub the face wash on your face. The face washes lathers well and is easy to wash off. As I mentioned earlier I loved the neem and clove fragrance of this product. The face wash did not dry out my skin too much.  In fact, my skin felt oil-free even after a few hours of washing my face.

As far as acne is concerned, I can not say that I have not had any pimples after I have used this. However, it has helped reduce pimples on my skin. Unfortunately, it does not help much in reducing dark spots on the skin.

Bajaj No Marks Neem Face Wash 3

Pros:  
  1. Contains neem, lemon, and clove
  2. Refreshing fragrance
  3. Effective in reducing pimples
  4. Lathers well
  5. Affordable
  6. Great for oily skin
  7. Travel-friendly packaging
Cons:
  1. Contains artificial colors
  2. Contains preservatives
  3. Does not help in reducing dark spots
Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes. I will definitely repurchase this product as it suits my oily skin. I will not recommend it for women with dry skin as it may dry it out further. If you do not like the smell of neem or cloves, stay away from this face wash.

FabIndia Papaya Face Scrub

FabIndia Papaya Face Scrub Review

by Manveen Grewal

FabIndia Papaya Face Scrub: This face scrub contains papaya extract and maize flour. It claims to remove dead skin cells and open the pores, leaving your skin soft and glowing.

Price: Rs 360 for 100g

FabIndia Papaya Face Scrub 1

My experience with FabIndia Papaya Scrub

Packaging:  It comes in a plastic tub packaging. Fab India has tried to improve its packaging by adding a metallic lid to the tub. The packaging has all the information about the ingredients and directions to use on it. The container is handy and easy to use.

Application instructions: Moisten face and neck. Apply with fingertips and massage gently. Avoid the eye area. Rinse well and pat dry.

Colour, texture, and fragrance: The first thing you notice when you open the pack is that the scrub is not orange in color as you would expect a papaya-based product to be. It is creamish like a Multani mitti pack. This face scrub is ideal for oily skin as it has a thick creamy base. You can’t really smell papaya in the scrub, it smells more like Multani mitti. The texture is coarser than other scrubs as the particles used in it are coarse.

Experience:

Wet your face when you apply this scrub as it is quite thick and creamy. It spreads better on wet skin. Due to the coarser texture of the scrub, be gentle when you apply it to your skin. Women with oily skin have a tough time taking care of their skin in winters. While the heavier cream-based products make their skin oilier, the gel-based products make their skin dry. Use of a good scrub becomes essential during these months to keep the skin refreshed. I found this scrub good for my kind of oily skin. However, Fab India should do something to improve the texture of their scrubs. I found this scrub too coarse to be used on the face.

FabIndia Papaya Face Scrub 2

Pros:
  1. Refreshes skin
  2. Good product for winters
  3. Good for oily skin
Cons:
  1. Not for women with dry skin
  2. The texture is rough
  3. Contains chemicals
Would I repurchase or recommend?

I would recommend this product to women with oily skin. However, a word of caution – Please be gentle as this product has a rough texture. Women with sensitive skin should steer clear of this scrub.

Khadi Natural Sandal Olive Nourishing Cream

Khadi Sandal Olive Nourishing Cream: I love the winter season but hate what it does to my skin. Not only does my skin tend to look dull and lifeless, it also becomes really dry. Hence, I tend to go on this great search for the perfect moisturizer every winter. So, what is the perfect moisturizer? Well, I perfect moisturizer is one that adds moisture and life to my skin without making it too greasy. After all, as we all know, greasy skin leads to clogged pores and acne. I chose Khadi Natural Sandal Olive Nourishing Cream for its all natural ingredients and its fabulous fragrance.

Khadi Natural Sandal Olive Nourishing Cream

Price: Rs 120 for 50g

My experience with Khadi Sandal Olive Nourishing Cream

Packaging:  This nourishing cream comes in a plastic tub packaging with a black screw on lid. The labels on the tub have all the details of the product. There is an additional foil covering for the tub to prevent any contamination.

Application instructions: Take a pea size amount and spread it over your face.

Color, texture, and fragrance: The cream is white in color and is quite soft and non-greasy. It blends quite easily on to the skin. I love the sandalwood fragrance of the cream. The fragrance stays with you for quite some time after you have applied it.

Experience:

This is the first time that I have tried a product from Khadi Natural and I must say that I have not been let down. In fact, I am quite impressed with the quality of this nourishing cream. Not only is the quality excellent, it is also very affordable. The cream is not very thick, so it is not greasy. It is easy to spread and gets absorbed into the skin fairly quickly. This makes it ideal for use as a day cream as well as a night cream.

The fragrance of sandalwood, which the brand describes as earthy, warm and spicy, is quite soothing.  I have been using this cream for about a week and I haven’t seen any signs of acne. So, that’s a big plus for me. In my opinion, it is a great product for the dry winter season, not so great for summers.

Khadi Natural Sandal Olive Nourishing Cream 2

Pros:
  1. Moisturises the skin well
  2. Gets absorbed quickly
  3. Contains natural products
  4. Affordable
  5. Paraben-free
  6. Suitable for dry skin
  7. 100 % vegetarian
Cons:
  1. Packaging needs to be spruced up
  2. Not suitable for oily skin
  3. Not suitable for summer season
Would I repurchase or recommend?

Yes. I will definitely purchase this cream again. It has worked well for my skin. I will recommend it for women with dry skin but not for those with oily skin.

Fab India Orange Neroli Sand Scrub 3

FabIndia Orange Neroli Sand Scrub Review

by Manveen Grewal

What is it? FabIndia Orange Neroli Sand Scrub is a face and body scrub containing river sand and orange neroli as its main ingredients. Neroli essential oil(produced from the blossom of bitter orange tree) has anti-oxidant properties that help in reducing blemishes, age spots and wrinkles, while sand is a natural exfoliator.

Fab India Orange Neroli Sand Scrub 3

Price: Rs 350 for 100 ml

 

Fab India Orange Neroli Sand Scrub 1

My experience with Fab India Orange Neroli Sand Scrub

Packaging:

It comes in an attractive plastic tub packaging. It has all the information about the ingredients and directions to use on it. The container is handy and easy to use. The lid shuts tightly and is spill proof.

Application instructions:

Apply a scoop of the scrub to wet skin and gently massage all over the body in circular motion, focussing on rough areas. Rinse and clean thoroughly. I would recommend that you be a little gentle on your face as the sand particles are a little rough.

The scrub has a very distinctive and refreshing citrus aroma. This cream colored scrub spreads on the face easily, though the sand particles feel a little rougher than the other scrubs. It’s a great product for winter as it does not dry out the skin. My skin felt very smooth and soft after use. However, do use the product a little gently on the face. Avoid using it if you have pimples on your face as it can cause some mild burning sensation.

This product works great as a body scrub. Use a little for your arms and legs during your bath and you will definitely feel a difference. It’s great for the winter season as it will not dry out the skin on your arms or legs.

Fab India Orange Neroli Sand Scrub 2

Pros:
  1. Great aroma
  2. Works well on the body
  3. Great for the winter season
Cons:
  1. High Price
  2. Loads of chemicals
Would I repurchase or recommend?

Well, I would recommend it for those with dry skin. It’s a great scrub for the winter season. Definitely not recommended for those with sensitive skin or with skin that is prone to acne breakouts.

Who is it for? LOreal Magic Retouch Instant Root Concealer It is an instant root concealer spray to be used for emergencies when you don’t have enough time to colour you hair. It provides only temporary coverage and lasts only till you wash your hair. The concealer spray is available in two colours in India- dark brown and black.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Instant Root Concealer 1

 

Price: 600 for 75 ml

 

 

My experience with L’Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Instant Root Concealer

Packaging:

The hair root concealer comes in a small cylindrical turquoise color pressurized can that you can easily carry with you in your handbag. It has a long spray nozzle on top, which is quite easy to use.

Application instructions:

This product is supposed to be applied on dry hair. On the back it says shake well before use. Keep the product upright. Also you need to keep it at least 10 cm away and then spray. These instructions can be a little tricky to follow and you do tend to colour your scalp as well if you spray from too close. Give it a few more tries and you will get the hang of it eventually. Though it washes off easily from hands, you should wear gloves to protect your hands during application. You also need to give the colour a minutes or so to dry before you touch it.

Another precaution that you need to take before spraying this is to cover your face with a towel or a piece of cloth so that it doesn’t stain your forehead. Do not over spray, you need only a small amount of this product.

Staying power:

It can easily stay for two days or till you wash your hair next.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Instant Root Concealer 4

Overall performance

Though this product can not take the place of monthly root-touch ups at the salon, it is definitely an easy quick fix if you have a function to attend and you’ve spotted some ghastly greys in your hair. The hair feels a little sticky after the application, as if you have put some hair spray. I would not recommend it for regular usage. I feel prolonged usage will dry out your hair. So, it is important to treat your hair with some nourishing conditioner after you wash away this product. But it is great product for emergencies and looks very natural. The size of the container is very convenient to carry along with you on a holiday. I used the dark brown shade for my hair and it blended very well with my hair colour.

Pros:
  1. Easy to use
  2. Instant results
  3. Does not smudge your clothes
  4. Easy to wash off
Cons:
  1. Contains chemicals
  2. Makes hair a little dry
  3. High price
Would I repurchase or recommend?

I would definitely recommend this product. This is a great product for emergency use. So, go on, part your hair and spray away at your roots.  At Rs 600 for 75 ml, the price is a little on the higher side, but it is available at a discounted rate online.
