The Nykaa Body Lotion Country Rose

Nykaa Body Lotion Country Rose  :Hi, my beauties, Hope you all are enjoying the winters and speaking of winter one thing that comes to mind is body lotions. This is one product that always gets me excited and today I am going to share my experience with you of the NYKAA BODY LOTION IN COUNTRY ROSE. Now I have tried few nykaa products in the past and I have pretty much liked them all. So I had good hopes from this also, keep on reading to know if it worked for me or not.

The Nykaa Body Lotion Country Rose

PRICE: 500INR FOR 300ML

My Experience With Nykaa Body Lotion Country Rose

PACKAGING: it comes in a see-through plastic bottle with a black pump and you can see the product through the bottle. Now I love the fact that it comes with a pump as it makes using the lotion so much easier than those standard body lotion bottles, also the pump has an open and close mechanism which just assures that there is no wastage ever of the product. The ingredients and all other details are mentioned on the back of the bottle.

FRAGRANCE: now nykaa has their body lotion in three different fragrances but I chose country rose as a rose is something I can never resist. I just love the fragrance of this; it literally makes you feel like a bed of roses (not in an overpowering way though). The fragrance of this is not something that’ll stay on for the whole day like those of deodorants but it is still there and I like it because it is a body lotion, not a body mist so that fragrance not lingering for the whole day is not a concern for me.

MOISTURIZING: coming to the main part of it, it is extremely moisturizing. Just to be clear my skin gets dry and flaky in winters so dry that it just bums me out but this has totally changed everything I just pump as much as I need it on my hand, smear it all on my body and after a few seconds, it gets all absorbed in my body and I am good to go. It keeps the moisture locked for the whole day. I love it for this fact.

The Nykaa Body Lotion Country Rose 3

PROS:
  1. Smells like a bed of roses
  2. Moisturising
  3. Comes with a pump
  4. Stays on for the whole day
CONS:
  1. Might not seem affordable to some people as there are other brands who offer body lotion at prices lower than this.
  2. The fragrance not lingering for the whole day might be a concern for some people, it’s about personal preference.
Overall Will I Recommend Or Repurchase It?

I will recommend it as it is good body lotion. It totally does what it is supposed to. although I am not sure about repurchasing it because of two reasons first I think this is going to last me for a pretty good time and second I would like to try a new product, but if you like the smell of roses to give it try, you won’t be disappointed.

The Body Shop Moringa Cream Body Scrub Review

The Body Shop Moringa Body Scrub: Today I am reviewing The Body Shop Moringa Cream Body Scrub. I use it at least once a week to exfoliate my skin and remove the dead skin. I also use it before shaving to open up the pores and the in hair growth. Moving on to the review.

Price:

Rs 500 for 50 ml.

How to Use:

Begin with wet skin in the shower. Allow the shower to run for 5-10 minutes and let the warm water soften the skin and prepare for exfoliation. Pause the running water while you exfoliate. Apply the scrub in a circular motion, then rinse thoroughly.

My experience with The Body Shop Moringa Body Scrub

Scrubbing is an important part of cleansing the body. It is important to remove the dead skin time to time. I would not recommend exfoliating the body every day but at least twice a week. The Moringa cream scrub by The Body Shop is an excellent product. It is a cream based scrub with these yellow and green grainy partials in it, which help in scrubbing.

The scrub has this mild flowery smell, which is pleasant because moringa is a flower and this is made from the seeds from the pods of the flower. It comes in a transparent plastic tub with The Body Shop labeling and the cap is light yellow in color. The packing is good which makes it leak free and travel-friendly.

I apply it all over my body except for my face, as my skin is sensitive. As the company claims

  • Removes dead skin cells

Yes it does

  • Stimulates skin microcirculation

Yes it does

  • Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth

Yes it does

It cleans and buffs away the dead skin in no time and makes you feel fresh with the delicate white flower scent. Overall a very good product to be bought.

Himalaya Aloe and Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion

Who is it for? Himalaya Aloe and Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion are for those looking for a light affordable summer body lotion that gives a cooling sensation on application.

Himalaya Aloe and Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion

Price Rs140 for 200ml.

My experience with the Himalaya Herbals Aloe and Cucumber Refreshing Body Lotion:

Packaging:

The body lotion comes in a white bottle with the green cap as do all products of Himalaya. The bottle itself looks quite big but is actually lightweight. The details are in given on the back and I actually like how they mention both key and the complete ingredient list. It will last for nearly two months making it very affordable.

Texture:

The texture of the product is just apt for summers; neither too runny nor too thick. The lotion is white in color. One con I noticed is that a little amount gets deposited near the mouth every once in a while leading to product wastage and I have to clean that regularly. This texture might not be suitable for extremely dry skin.

Smell:

It smells just like Aloe Vera and cucumber. The scent is not exactly prominent but you can smell it if you sniff directly from hands.

Performance:

I use this for my entire body and it instantly makes it smooth and supple. The best part is that I felt a mild cooling sensation when I apply and it might be due to the ingredients. The body lotion lasts for a decent period of 5-6 hours if you don’t do anything heavy duty. Another pro is that my palms don’t feel sticky after application which is the case with many lotions.

What did I like about it?
  1. Affordable
  2. Neat packaging.
  3. Mild cooling sensation.
  4. Works for a decent time period.
  5. Apt for summers.
  6. Nice scent.
  7. Lovely texture.
What I did not like?
  1. Contains Parabens.
  2. Might not suite very dry skin?
  3. Not for winters.
Would I recommend?

This is a body lotion apt for summers so I recommend this to all skin types except very dry skin. I will repurchase this until I find a better alternative.

Signature by Celine Dion Review 2

What is it and who is it for ? Signature by Celine Dion is very light and mild and is a very feminine fragrance. This perfume is for all the girls who like their perfume to light in terms of fragrance and one that should make them smell good.

Signature by Celine Dion Review 2

Price:

Rs.1200/- for 30ml

How to use

The perfume comes in a stylish and classy glass bottle. The perfume is easy to use, you just need to spray it onto the neck, wrist and behind your ears and you are ready to go! :)

My Experience with Celine Dion Signature

I have been using this perfume for over a year and I absolutely love this perfume by Celine Dion. It is certainly one of the most classiest, feminine and sophisticated fragrance that I have come across. It is a very well balanced fragrance which is a mix of various fruity, woody and citrus notes.

The fragrance is light and makes me smell good for a good 4-5 hours and after that it needs to reapplied, but if sprayed on clothes, the fragrance lasts longer. The fragrance would be ideal for daytime or daily wear purpose as it is mild and not a very strong one and is soothing and feminine fragrance that would make you feel fresh and good every time you wear it :)

Positives 
  1. Simple and classy packaging
  2. Easily available online
  3. A balanced mix of fruity, citrus and woody notes
  4. A feminine and sophisticated fragrance
  5. Lasts for a good 4-5 hours
  6. Ideal for summer/daytime as it has a very light and mild fragrance
Negatives 
  1. None, except for the fact that it needs to reapplied after 4-5 hours.
Overall would I recommend or repurchase?

Yes, definitely. If you love perfumes and like them to be simple, clean and light then this is just perfect for you.

Park Avenue Lively Deo Review

Park Avenue Lively Deo Review

by Tanu Shree

Park Avenue Lively Deo: Park Avenue has a knack of naming their fragrances right. If this deo says “lively” in its name, it sure is going to make you feel like that. Lively and fresh all day. But just freshness isn’t enough. A deo needs to be able to do more than that – a unique fragrance, a long lasting feel and good longevity – to name a few.I had recently reviewed the variant DIVA. So I got this one as a gift and was really, really excited about it. This was my first time using a Park Avenue deo, a brand I have heard quite praise for.

Park Avenue Lively Deo Review

Price

Rs. 160 (135ml)

My Experience with Park Avenue Lively Deo

It really is the fresh-est fragrance you will ever experience. So lively – true to its name – that it just grasps your attention. So I obviously took an instant liking for it when I first used it.I thought this is going to be my favorite deo. Because what do we need when we are looking at an exhausting day at the office, and repeating that 5 times a week – something that can keep us going. Something to keep us energized!

But this deo isn’t that (sad!). Because as fresh as it felt in the beginning, that scent started to annoy me as the day went. It’s stronger than it should be. And it is pretty chemical too.The Brand claims that it settles into something ambery later on. But I didn’t feel that. If it did, it wasn’t that good I guess – because I don’t even remember the shift in the scent.On top of that, the spray of the bottle stopped working when the bottle was still half left. So I am now left with a half deo bottle with no way of using it.

Overall Performance of Park Avenue Lively Deo

It was good enough in the beginning and then it falls from grace pretty hard and fast. But maybe it’s just me. It might work for people who like strong scents. But consider yourself warned about the below average packaging.

Yay or Nay?

I think it’s going to be a Nay for me. Because there are so many body sprays out there. Good ones, exciting ones, by Park Avenue itself. So I don’t think I’m going to purchase back something I wasn’t so gung ho on to begin with.

Dear Body Love Berry Body Lotion Review

What is it and who is it for? Dear Body Love Berry Body Lotion is suitable for all skin types. It’s nourishing, whitening, refreshing, moisturizing, perfumed, lighting. They are available in a variety of fragrances; Love berry, Strawberry passion, Ardour seduction, Sweet wish, Sweet temptation, Nature spell, AmberDream, Pear Freezing, Forever Love, A daydream, Juicy apple, Exotic Flower.

Dear Body Love Berry Body Lotion Review

Price

Rs. 599/- for 250ml

How to use?

The bottle is similar to a Victoria’s Secret Body Lotion bottle and the applicator is the same. The lotion is buttery but also oily on application. It leaves a heavy residue and the applicator is very difficult to clean. I find that very unsettling.

 

My experience with Dear Body Love Berry Body Lotion?

To be frank, I found the lotion an exact same dupe of Victoria’s Secret Body Lotion, at least in the packaging but not in quality. I initially thought I was actually buying Victoria’s Secret Body Lotion instead of Dear Body.

The packaging is very attractive, no doubt but I found the lotion very greasy and heavy on the skin. And with the weather we have here in India, I sweated the lotion off immediately which left me with a grimy, sticky complexion. I despised that.

I bought the lotion in kissed freesia and daisy. My only incentive for buying this lotion was the fragrance. The scent is long lasting and very appealing. It’s not overly flowery and I appreciate that. It falls true to the ‘Berry’ tag. The lotion smells sweet and succulent, but also classy.

Dear Body Love Berry Body Lotion Review 3

Dear Body Love Berry Body Lotion Review 5

Positives
  1. Attractive Packaging
  2. Great fragrance
  3. Variety of fragrances
  4. Vitamin E and C antioxidants
  5. Long Lasting
Negatives 
  1. Exorbitant Rate
  2. Greasy on application
  3. Thick consistency like sunscreen
  4. Messy applicator
Overall would I recommend and repurchase?

I would not repurchase because first of all I cannot afford it and second of all, I’d rather experiment more and find a body lotion which suits my requirements which this one didn’t. I wouldn’t recommend either because this kind of lotion is not for Indian weather. Even Indian Winters are hot enough to be tropical.

Lux Strawberry & Cream Body Wash Review

Lux Strawberry and Cream Body Wash Review: I am seriously addicted to bath products and can’t get enough of it. I am reviewing one more out of a 100 of my shower goodies i.e. Lux Strawberry & Cream body wash.I bought it as winters are approaching and wanted a cream-based body wash, I am done using Gels for some time now. I love the fruity smell too so I opted for Strawberry rather than other floral flavor’s available in the Lux range.

Lux Strawberry & Cream Body Wash Review

Price:

Rs 125 for 240 ml.

How to use:

Squeeze an adequate amount of this body washes on your loofah. Gently scrub the loofah on your body. Experience the rich lather and rinse off.

My experience with Lux Strawberry & Cream Body Wash

Lux Strawberry & Cream body wash has a nice clement soapy aroma. Lux has this trademark fragrance which is very identical to all its solid and liquid soaps, I can only define it by saying its soapy.

Now when the winters are approaching I choose to use cream-based liquid soap because my skin starts flaking during this weather. I keep my skin hydrated by using moisturizers and also by regular oiling.

The product is travel-friendly with a flip open cap, does not leak and easy to use. The shape of the bottle is a bit curvy including the cap, which looks different and pretty.

The color of the fluid is pearl white and the texture is perfect for a body wash.

Lux Strawberry & Cream Body Wash Review 1

Pros:
  1. Mild fragrance
  2. Hydrating
  3. Lather well
  4. Different shape of the bottle
  5. Travel friendly
  6. Affordable
  7. Available easily
Cons:
  1. No long lasting fragrance
Would I recommend 

I would recommend to people wanting to use cream-based body washes and like mild fragrances.I like using different products so I would like to purchase some new flavor from the Lux body wash range.
