Oriflame Aimi Mystic Caress Fine Fragrance Mist 3

All the fragrances I have owned are from oriflamme. I feel like not many have explored this brand enough and one great thing about them is that they keep launching new fragrances every now and then. I am a huge fan of their perfumes. However, this time I decided to go with their body mist.

Now, body mists or fragrance mists are supposed to be much more subtle and light. The fragrance is not meant to be overpowering and you can use a body mist much more than a perfume. So let’s get into the review of Oriflame Aimi Mystic Caress Fine Fragrance Mist.

My Experience With The Oriflame Aimi Mystic Caress Fine Fragrance Mist

The fragrance mist comes in a very slender spritz bottle. And the bottle in itself looks orange. I think this has to do something with the name of the fragrance, supposedly mystic. The bottle does look kind of mystic!

Now you can carry this anywhere you like, it is very travel-friendly.

You will not be able to find this very easily if you are shopping online. The best way to purchase oriflamme products is to actually consult their representatives. They will give you the genuine product. Online, you may find a lot of fake stuff.

Now coming to the scent of the fragrance, the mist smells like spices. It smells more of nutmeg and cinnamon. Now, don’t worry, it did not make me smell like a kitchen floor. However, the fragrance is quite strong.

Going with the name of mystic caress, I must say that it evokes a sense of mystique and sort of an enigma so I really like the body mist. However, if you are not a fan of anything which smells spicy or woody, then this body mist is not for you at all.

The spritz bottle of the fragrance is very easy to use and the nozzle gives out light sprizts.

Coming to the lasting power of the mist, I would say that it does not last for a very long time. At the maximum, it could last for 3-4 hours but that is it. It vanishes even faster during the summers. Either way I felt like you could wear this body mist during the winters since the scent is kind of warming and alluring. During the summers, it might just irritate you and the person sitting next to you.

You can always find it at a discounted price and you the body mist will last you for a very long time.

Overall Performance Of Oriflame Aimi Mystic Caress Fine Fragrance Mist

Pros:

  • The fragrance is very warm scented
  • The packaging is very travel-friendly
  • Perfect fragrance for the winters
  • Affordable

Cons:

  • Does not last for a very long time
  • Scent is overpowering

Would I Recommend Or Repurchase?

No, but only because I like experimenting with fragrances. I guess everyone has a certain preference towards scents. Some like floral scents, some like fruity fragrances while some like spicy and woody fragrances.

If you are of the latter kind, then you can surely take this one.

Himalaya Herbals Anti-Dandruff Hair Cream

Dandruff! Why you so stubborn?? We all know that dandruff does not discriminate and affects both men and women of any age group. This problem becomes even more annoying during winters when your scalp can become really dry and itchy! Since dandruff is a fungal infection, it flares up during the summers as well (due to the heat and sweat on the scalp). Natural remedies are slow and can get really messy, so I decided to give this hair cream a try!

Easy to apply, this cream can be applied before and after shampooing for improved results. Just massage the cream gently on the scalp to get a dandruff-free hair. It is better to shampoo hair with Himalaya’s Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. This herbal cream is suitable for all hair types, even on coloured and permed hair.

HOW TO USE?

Massage onto the scalp till it gets fairly absorbed. This hair cream can be used before washing the hair as well as after washing the hair.

MY Experience with Himalaya Herbals Anti-Dandruff Hair Cream

So the claims are pretty impressive. But here’s what I felt – the cream does not really control dandruff! It provides a cooling sensation when applied on the scalp but that is all it does. It has a strong scent and the kind which will linger. It does smell very herbal though. It contains parabens and whenever I apply this on clean hair it weighs them down. It accumulates on the scalp and causes build up which makes the hair even greasier. I also applied it to be left overnight and after the regular wash, I saw no difference.

The things we do to protect the dead parts of our body! (Nails, and hair!) Did you freak out? Anyways, heat styling our hair has become very common but we are all aware that continuous heat use can damage our hair to quite an extent. Since I am obsessed with blow-drying my hair, I thought I needed to invest in a heat protectant spray for my hair and here is what I got!

What Is It And Who Is It For?

L’Oreal heat protection smoothening mist is a hair product which is supposed to prevent your hair from drying out and getting damaged due to the subjected heat. It is also supposed to get rid of frizz (touchy-subject!) and give a smooth finish.

My Experience with L’Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Eversleek Heat Protection Smoothing Mist

 

The best part about this product is that it contains no sulphates! I use this on my hair damp hair and it gives a mild fragrance which goes away after some time. I have been using this for some time now and I must say that it does prevent split ends! It doesn’t do much to control the frizz but it controls static. The packaging is good and the nozzle works great. It is a little expensive but since it does the job pretty well, we shouldn’t mint. I also feel that it provides a very natural and bouncy hold to the hair.

Overall Would I Recommend Or Repurchase?

Yes! Because you can even use this if you are not styling your hair!

Lacto Calamine Sun Shield Daily Use Sunscreen Oily To Normal Skin

So summers are almost here and we all know the importance of a sunscreen under the scorching sun! Though I have absolutely loved the lotus sunscreens as they are suitable to almost all skin tones but I thought I need to give Lacto Calamine a chance since I already love their lotion (you have to try it if you haven’t already!). :haanji  :haanji  :haanji

My Experience with Lacto Calamine Sun Shield Daily Use Sunscreen Oily To Normal Skin

  • PACKAGING: The product comes in a tube with a yellow cap but after a few uses, the product start getting collected around the cap. The cap could easily come off if you keep it in your bag, so don’t!

 

  • SMELL: It has a slight fragrance which lingers.

 

  • BLENDABLE: It gets absorbed into my skin pretty easily and makes the skin feel smooth.

 

  • WEARIBILITY: This one is a bummer! Although this sunscreen was meant for oily skin, it did not last on my skin. For the first few minutes, my skin looked fresh but after about half an hour, I noticed that it was making my skin look dark and dull. The oil started breaking through and my T-zone was oily and greasy within an hour. I also tries using this under my makeup and it made my foundation separate and my face looked oilier than usual. :confused  :no  :no  :no

Overall Performance of the Product

It’s a really pathetic product. It makes my skin dull and oily. I will have to throw it away!

 

Would I Recommend Or Repurchase?

Not ever! :cry:
