Fab India vitamin E Cleansing milk review and facial cleansing with a cleanser

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 11:23 PM PST

Hello beauties,

Cleansing milk is an interesting way to get perfectly cleansed skin.Fab India cleansing milk contains vitamin E , Olive oil which regulate the lip-hydric balance of the skin and delays natural aging of the skin.
I have recently included cleansing milk in my daily routine and this is because I got my QVS cleansing brush for myself .:D

Few benefits of cleansing milk are

1.  It cleanse and gently removes makeup and impurities.It increase the elasticity of the skin and enhance the suppleness.

2. If you have hard water in your area then cleansing milk neutralizes it affects.


3. It functions as a nice night cleanser.


4. Cleansers maintains the pH of the skin and encourage the skin to take care of itself.


So if you are looking for some  deep cleansing and are not interested in oil cleansing method then you can use a cleanser also with a soft facial brush.

This is what Fab India Vitamin E cleansing milk claims- A gentle cleansing milk with vitamin E that penetrates deep to the skin and moisturizes your skin by giving it a healthy glow.

 (Sorry you got to turn your head to read the cleanser name :D)

Key Ingredients - Purified water, Olive Oil, Glyceryl Monostearate, Glycerine, Cetyl Alcohol, Emulsifying wax, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Vitamin E

Price of Fab India vitamin E cleansing milk is Rs 150 for 100ml

(I got economy package for myself where there was vitamin E toner , body lotion , cleansing milk and vitamin E face wash there for Rs 450)

My experience with the product -

I used the cleansing milk almost every day while removing my make up .It deeply penetrates into my skin without making my skin feel greasy  and it does give me that healthy glow when I use it with my  facial cleansing brush.I did it today itself see


I applied some good amount of cleansing milk on my face and then gently massaged the brush on face in circular motion.By the way I am wearing my Maybelline lip  smooth refreshing tinted lip  balm .Giving nice shine and tint naa??
Now look at my brush it has some foundation or left over cream on it.


The process thoroughly cleanse my face and doesn't leave even tiny bit of impurities.If I apply face pack after this then it kind of gives me a mini facial.

As far as Fab India cleansing milk is concerned this too is loved by my skin. it doesn't break me out , it affordable with a good travel packaging.

Loved and enjoyed the whole process of skin care.



Do you use cleansing milk ? Which one is your favorite?

Body Wash - Rev Ayur fruity Body wash Orange review

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 08:43 PM PST

By Reshma Khan,
                                
Liquid Body wash - I like using shower gel rather than a soap because Shower gel is considered a better option than a bar soap. Not only is it a mild cleanser, but is also a highly refreshing and rejuvenating product. While I like natural ingredients in this shower gel, with a consistency that reminds me of orange juice. 
                                             
  • What product claims:- Luxurious unisex soap free body cleanser.
  • Uniquely formulated with fruity beads of Orange which moisturizes and rejuvenates.
  • Its fresh fruity fragrance makes bathing a relaxing experience.
  • Removes dirt without stripping essential moisture.
  •  Gentle enough for daily use.
  • Leaves skin with abundant moisture to prevent dryness.
  • On the pack they have also mentioned about natural luffa which says…
  •  Luffa is made up of natural fiber that is resistant to bacteria. Hence this luffa lasts very long &does not get black with time frome bacteria & mould attack like regular sponges. Natural luffa exerts a gentle exfoliating action on dead cells, leaving skin smooth & refreshed. Moreover it has boosting effect on foaming power of RevAyur Body Wash.
                           
                                        

luffa

  • Direction for use:- Pour small quantity on palm. Massage gently to break the beads. Apply on moist skin with a luffa.
  • For best results work up rich lather. Rinse off thoroughly. Removes dead skin cells especially on dry skin area such as elbow & knee.
         

Price of Rev Ayur fruity Body wash is Rs 199 for 185ml

  

Composition:- Orange extract.
My experience :- Orange is one of my favorite fruit and I love that zip of the citrus. The warm  citrus scent really refreshes your mind . Usually few shower gel dries your skin but this shower gel gives you nice soft supple skin as oranges are rich in anti-oxidants.

  Pros:-  

*The scent alone is very unique for a citrus scent.

*My skin feel really clean and soft after using it.

*Does not dry out skin at all unlike soap.

*Natural  luffa for free which actually helps you to get rid of  dead cells & makes    your skin smooth.

*Liked the see through bottle from which you can see orange color & small beads which really ease your eyes.
*Priced right.

Cons :-
 
*This product claims 50+ washes but I don't this so as it is little bit low on lather.  

*Wish could be a flip lid on the top as it is easy to waste due to more coming out than needed.

* I just wish the scent would linger on the skin longer after you shower in this.
Worth a buy:- it's nice but could have been better… 


 Rating :- 3.5/5




Boroline -Borolione antiseptic cream this winter (Product review)

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 08:58 AM PST

 By Ishika,

BOROLINE CREAM - Many people don't know about this product by GD Pharma mainly because it is not publisized so much. Its been there for years but the company has not changed the product at all. No wonder it has the same old packaging as I saw it as a child. They don't need to do it because they have such a wonderful product to bank upon. This is one cream that's been used in my house since generations . I

I saw my grandma using it, then my mom and now it is a very important part of my cosmetics wardrobe. When I was young, this is the only cream I knew about because my mom would use it for everything –as a mositurizer in winters, chapped lips, for any wounds or scars with I often got while playing, on shoe bites which I had very often. So basically it was an all purpose cream.
What the product claims?
A protective and soothing emollient for chapped skin, cracked nipples, cuts and dry skin diseases.

What it contains?
The product contains boric acid, zinc oxide, white petroleun jelly and anhydrous lanolin as key ingredients.
Boric acid- It works as a mild antiseptic, and it can be effective in the treatment of some skin conditions such as acne and mild rashes.
Zinc Oxide- Apart from sun protection, it is useful for wound healing, acts as an astringent and also helps in treatment of acne.
Anhydrous lanolin- Acts as a barrier protecting the skinfrom harsh environmental conditions.

Price of Boroline antispetic creamRs 15 for 21gms (can you beat that!!!!)

Pros

1. Today we have so many moisturizers and cold creams available for use in winters but my mom still trusts borline for healing cracks in her feet. And trust me it does wonders to her feet.
2. My skin is pretty dry and lips become extremely chapped and dry in winters. My only relief is this cream. I use it every night before going to bed and it really helps in keeping them moisturized.
3. It acts as an aniseptic and really helps in curing blisters and any form of wounds and cuts.
4. The price is just amazing. I just cant imagine any other cream which is so decently priced and can be used in so many ways.
5. I love the fragrance. Its pretty soothing and refreshing.
6. Helps in taking care of wrinkles and cures sunburns and general skin infections. I keep one tube in the kitchen because I tend to burn my hand or fingers often. Trust me it has amazing healing capability.
7. The cream has an expiry date of 5 years so you need not worry about finishing it fast. Considering the number od capabilities it has, I am sure it wont last too long anyways.
8. It is easily avaiable in all drug stores and chemist shops so you need not go to cosmetics store to buy it.

Cons

1. The only problem I feel is that the cream is a little sticky .
2. It had a thick cream base so using it during day or before going to any function might make your face look oily. So best is to use it @night before going to bed.

Will I buy it again?
Considering the number of uses that it can be put to, I think the product is a must have.

7 best and easy ways to avoid Premenstrual Syndrome (Premenstrual Discomfort)

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 06:27 AM PST

By Aruna,

Sometimes we women don't feel good about ourself  when premenstrual discomforts take place. Premenstrual discomfort begins at puberty and for some women doesn't end until menopause. That 30-35 years of cramping, bloating, mood swings and other uncomfortable symptoms which occur every month is called as premenstrual discomfort. Doctors  estimate it affects as many as three out of four women at some time in their lives.

PMS is not a disease but nothing less than that too.It is caused mainly because of complex changes in a woman's hormones prior to menstruation .Premenstraul is usually secere in woman in their twenties and thirties and it gradually gets less bothersome over the years as we tend to accept it.


There are few ways to make premenstrual discomfort some what bearable.Here is what the doctor advise.

                         

1. Eating carbohydrates – Many women have food craving in the days before their periods. Rather than opting for sweets or high fat food one is advised to eat complex carbohydrates like pasta and potatoes. These foods provide lasting energy and they are high in fiber too which remove excess estrogen from the body. This is very important because high levels of estrogen can increase premenstrual discomfort.

2 More B vitamins before periods – Having food which is high in vitamin B helps in reducing mood swings, bloating and other kinds of menstrual discomfort. Fish, Banana, chicken are rich source of vitamin B.
 


3. Reduce salt intake – Salt causes the body to retain fluids, increases the bloating.

4.Go slow with coffee – Some of us are sensitive towards coffee, colas and chocolates which results in mood swings so it is advisable to go slow with that.

5. Exercising – Even if you walk for 10 minutes a day it will help in combating premenstrual discomfort.This is because exercise improves your body's circulation and helps keep hormones levels more stable .Some women have found in fact that even moderate exercise can relieve bloating and cramps.

6.Heating pads- Keeping a  hot water bottle or heating pad will increase blood flow to the area and help relieve the discomfort.


7.Drinking more water – Drink more water helps in relieving bloating and stimulates our body to urinate more frequently.

Above mentioned small tips can help you avoid Premenstrual discomfort.

Tinted lip balm - Maybelline lip smooth refreshing tinted lip balm review and swatches

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 12:55 AM PST

Tinted lip balm/Chapstick - I got too many lip balms with me now but the packaging of Maybelline lip balm is so cute that I couldn't resist myself in buying it.

Price of Maybelline lip and smooth color and  care lip balm is Rs 99 so I didn't mind it giving it a try.

You got to hear it to fall in love with it.It is Canberry Lip balms which has SPF16 .

This is what the company claims about the product :-

* Revitalized dry /dull lips

*Gives moisturizing shine

*Soften and smoothen lips

*Dermatologically tested



Maybelline lip smooth tinted lip balm is available in following tint

 1. Rose red tinted lip balm

2. Mandarin tinted lip balm

3. Dolly rose tinted lip balm

4. Cranberry - This is the one which I got for myself:)

5. Cherry tinted lip balm

                                       This is how Cranberry looks like

Ingredients - It has natural ingredients like Jojoba oil, Safflower seed oil ,vitamin E to protects my lips .

 

My experience with the lip balm

1. Moisturization - I don't suffer from dry lips problem and this one gives light moistuization to my lips.I need to use it after every one or two hours .It keeps my lips soft and plump.

2. Tint - Tint is something which I always look forward to in my lip balms especially during winters and this one has nice tint .It shows more on my lips when I compare it with my Nivea strawberry lip balm which makes me love it more. The colour spreads easily and gives a shiny tint.

3. Texture - Lip balm texture is not very thick therefore it doesn't make my lips feel greasy.

4. Price - Decent pricing.

5. Availability - It is available in all the Maybelline counters.

6. Taste - It has slight Canberry Jam taste which I am not that fond off.

7 . SPF - That is a big plus for me and all those who have lip pigmentation problem.

8. Packaging - Can be easily carried and thank God Maybelline didn't introduce them in a small tub kind of a thing.

9.  Fragrance - It has strawberry fragrance which I am fond off.

10 It works as a gloss for me when ever I am wearing pink or similar colour lipstick.

Dislike :-

Those who have severe dry lip balms may find it little less moisturizing .

Recommendation - All the college going and teenage girls who prefer lip balms instead of lipstick are going to love the tint of this lip balm.



Rating - 4.5/5
