Onam Pookalam Design 6

Onam Pookalam Design

by Simran Arora

Onam Pookalam : Onam is a yearly harvest festival of Malayali people. It has its origin in the state of Kerala and it is celebrated with great enthusiasm and joy. It is celebrated in Chingam month (the first month according to Malayalam calendar) which is the month of August-September in Gregorian calendar. People believe that the spirit of King Mahabali who was the great-grandson of Brahmin visits Kerala during the time of Onam festival. Onam is not a one-day festival, It is celebrated for ten days where various rituals, customs and different types of celebrations are practiced.

Onapookalam or Pookalam is one of the main tradition followed by the people during the festival days. It is mainly the arrangement of flowers on the floor in a beautiful and appealing pattern. It is made up of two words; Poov which means flowers and Kalam which means color sketches on the ground. It is like rangoli which is popular in North India and is mostly made on the day of Diwali with bright colors but instead of colors, Pookalam is made from beautiful and exotic yellow flowers.

Making of Pookalam starts from the first day of the festival that is called Atham day. On this day, the size of Pookalam is relatively small but the size grows progressively each day till Onam. Pookalam tends to be a circular arrangement of various yellow colored flowers. On the occasion day, there are much Pookalam decoration competition all over the state where a large number of people participate and winners are awarded big prizes.

 Pookalam designs: 

This is the basic Pookalam design which is made from different varieties of marigold flowers. Here, the boundary of the Pookalam is prepared with green leaves.

Khadi Herbal Face wash

Khadi Herbal Face Wash : Hot Or Not ?

by Simran Arora

Hey guys! In our daily routine, we have to face several of challenges one of the biggest beings, traveling. We don’t travel alone; we travel with dust, pollution and a lot more. Eventually the most salient feature of our body, our ‘FACE’, also faces them. So to keep it clean and dirt free, we should cleanse it on regular basis. A face wash must be used to keep our face clean and clear. Today, I am going to review the Khadi Herbal Face Wash. Khadi is an Ayurvedic brand and its products contain very less amount of chemicals. Let’s see how this Khadi Face Wash has turned out!

Khadi Herbal Face wash

Directions:

Moisten the face and apply a small quantity of face wash and gently work up the lather, wash off and pat dry.

Price and quantity: INR 150 for 210ml

My experience with Khadi Herbal Face Wash:

It is a pale yellowish colored face wash which turns to be pellucid when poured out from the bottle. It has a very refreshing fragrance which reminds me of lime’s aroma. This face wash is not vicious like many others. It is a bit runny but I personally like its consistency. It lathers really well.

Now talking about its packaging, it comes in a transparent plastic from which its color is visible. I have never carried this bottle out but I can surely say it won’t leak because it contains an inner lid which would prevent it from leaking, certainly.

While pouring the face wash out, no struggle was faced by me. It was coming out easily from the bottle. No squeezing was required.

While spreading and rubbing it on my face, a pretty good amount of foam is produced.

My skin is of a very normal type that is, not very oily but not too dry, but after applying it, I feel my face got a bit dry. So I had to put up some moisturizer to discard the dryness.

Let’s talk about its results now!

I feel like this face wash cleanses the face and our face becomes dirt free but leaves the face dry. I will suggest that people with only oily skin should use this face wash.

Khadi Herbal Face wash 1

PROS
  1. ◦       well packed
  2. ◦       Not so vicious
  3. ◦       Makes skin refreshing
  4. ◦       Eliminates the dirt and oil from face
  5. ◦       Purely herbal
  6. ◦       Worthy quantity
CONS

  2. ◦       Makes the skin a bit dry
  3. ◦       Not for dry skin people
Would I recommend/repurchase?

I would recommend this face wash to girls/ladies with oily skin as I personally feel it makes the skin texture dry but one thing I like about this face wash is that it removes all the dirt from the skin and makes the skin rejuvenated.

This perfection comes with confidence and we hold our confidence in our looks, mainly our FACE. Our energy, our spunk shows up in our face. But what if it hides behind the oil and pimples? What if it makes us look dull?So today, I am going to review an oil clear face wash. It is Banjaras Oil Clear Facewash with Neem + Multani Mitti. It is a herbal facewash which comprises of neem and Multani mitti ( fuller’s earth).

My Experience with Banjaras Oil Clear Facewash with Neem + Multani Mitti

Banjaras oil clear facewash comprises of the former most beauty ingredients; Neem, Multani mitti, and glycerine. It is a 50ml white tube with a green lid which contains the good, consistent, greenish liquid. It required a little pressure to squeeze the fluid out from the bottle.
When poured out, I got a mild aroma of Neem leaves. No irritation or itching was caused while applying it. I tried this face wash and its result was very satisfying. It waved off oil from my skin, I was able to feel the softness on my face but it made my skin a bit dry. One thing that disappoints me a little is that it doesn’t lather much. We have to take a good amount of it to produce foam.

  2.  Refreshing aroma
  3. Reduces oil from the skin
  4.  Purely herbalMakes skin soft and clear

I would recommend this face wash only to girls with the oily face because it dries out the face. So, dry skinned people should avoid this.

Effects/ results:

No, I won’t re-buy this product because it’s too expensive to invest money for such less quantity but results are undoubtedly good and this conditioner helped me a lot to get me back shiny and smooth hair. If money is not an issue, then I would recommend this product to those suffering from extremely dry hair problem or to purchase a bigger version of this product which offers more quantity.

Coloressence Lipstick Nude Silk

Price: INR 250 for 4gm
Shelf life: 3 years

My experience with Coloressence Lipstick Nude Silk

Packaging:
The lipstick’s packaging is quite attractive as well as sturdy. It comes with a shiny case which looks metallic from outside. It highly travels friendly.

Texture:
The texture of the lipstick is smooth, creamy, a bit shimmery and it can be applied effortlessly. It doesn’t dry out the lips instead provides moisture to them.

Shade:
This Lipstick is of earthy brown shade which is generally suitable for all types of complexions. It gives a natural look to the face. As it is a bit shimmery so it neither looks too casual nor too loud.

Fragrance:
It has an artificial but a soothing fragrance which I personally like a lot.

The pigmentation is neither too good nor too bad. Two to three coats are required to see its original shade but if you want to keep your look very simple then one coat is sufficient.

Staying power:
It doesn’t stay for a long duration, maximum for 1 to 2 hours. It fades off very quickly. You just had water or ate something and it’s gone. This is a drawback of it which I really don’t like.

Transferability:
Being a bit creamy in texture it transfers a little but yes, it is easily manageable.

What do I like about it?
•       Attractive and sturdy packaging
•       Travel-friendly
•       Lovely shade
•       Can use it on a daily basis
•       Nice fragrance
•       Gives a sober and natural looks
•       Smooth application
•       Great finish
•       100% vegan

What did I not like?
•       Not waterproof
•       Reapplication required
•       Easily fades off

Would I recommend?

I would recommend this shade to those who have a lot of patience to apply it time to time as it cannot resist even a sip of water.

Everyuth Face Pack

Who is it for? Everyuth Face Pack the cucumber face pack is for those who want an affordable face pack to restore their natural skin glow which is damaged by the harsh environment and want to get a rejuvenating skin this summer.

Everyuth Face Pack

Price: INR 55 for 50g
Shelf life: 2 years

Directions: Cleanse your face. Apply face pack evenly on face and neck. Allow it dry for about 15 minutes and then wash off.

My experience with Everyuth Face Pack: Cucumber

Packaging: It has a compact packaging which comes in a white turbid tube which has a blue cap on top. It is the most simple and sturdy product packaging. Along with being compact and sturdy, it is portable and travels friendly.

Texture and consistency: The face pack is clay based which is light greenish in color. The texture is smooth and creamy but it requires efforts to spread all over the face. This is because of its thick consistency.

Fragrance: The fragrance is what attracts me a lot and this product’s aroma surely attracted me. It has a really rejuvenating fragrance which is basically of mild cucumber, aloe vera, and neem.

Skin type: This product is generally for normal to dry skin type people.

Effects: Sometimes after applying the face pack, I felt some tingling sensation on my skin. Once the face pack dries, I wash it off with a bit cold water. I have to rub my skin a little to take the face pack off but results were tremendous. It gave me a fresh feel and my skin became so clean, dirt free and oil free. This product genuinely restores the natural glow of face as it claimed.

What do I like about the product? 

•       Travel-friendly
•       Compact packaging
•       Rejuvenating aroma
•       Cools down the skin
•       Extract oil and dirt
•       Affordable
•       Tightens pores

What didn’t I like about this product?

•       Not suitable for dry skin
•       Sometimes makes skin drier
•       Requires efforts in applying

Would I recommend?

Yes, I would definitely recommend this product to all. I genuinely feel the results but sometimes it dries the skin so it’s advisable for dry skin type people to avoid this product or else apply some moisturizer after its application.
