Hello to all the beauties.

Firstly, it is a beautiful website you have here. I have been a silent follower (hourly ritual) and have now my own chest of cosmetics that drives my husband crazy but when I have put them on, he goes crazy again (this time in a good way) !!

Anyhooo, coming to my query, I had a fun outing in a resort which involved swimming and playing in their pool. But unfortunately, after that my hair has been damaged so badly that I feel the volume has reduced to half and the hair feels thinner (already had fine hair). You can imagine how devastated I am.

I went ahead and got some SLES free shampoos. But I am looking for tips from the experienced ladies here, how to fix this and get back the hair growth.

Desperately waiting for your replies.

Love,

Prati

WELLA SP Balance Scalp Lotion Review

Hi Sweeties,

So there was a time when I was getting a red itchy scalp, maybe the monsoons or the volumizing conditioners did not suit me. I was getting a hair trim, when the hair stylist introduced me to this WELLA SP Balance Scalp Lotion. It is a balancing leave-in lotion for delicate & sensitive scalps. The product cost is Rs. 800/-.

Product description:

An essential component of the SP Balance Scalp line, Wella SP Balance Scalp Lotion is formulated with Zinc Pyriothon Complex which delicately balances and soothes sensitive scalps as well as strengthening thin hair to reduce hair loss.

Directions of use:

1. Apply directly onto scalp in pre-shampooed, towel-dried hair or dry hair
2. Gently massage in
3. Do not rinse out.

Ingredients:
Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Betaine, Panthenol, Valine, Benzyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Methylparaben, Carbomer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Disodium EDTA, Tilia Cordata Extract, Salix Alba Bark Extract, Propylparaben.

My experience:

I started using this last year, followed the procedure for a month then gave a break. My brother also has a sensitive scalp; I applied on his scalp also.

The liquid is sweet smelling & gives a cooling effect once applied. It has a nozzle with which application becomes easy. Just slide through the scalp and massage. There is no need to rinse it. The only glitch I had was that overdoing made my hair oily. So I had to wash my hair every alternate day.

The sensitivity of the scalp went down. So now whenever I have an itchy scalp, I use this lotion only then. The packing of the product is nice and classy. The bottle is sturdy, easy to carry while travelling. The application nozzle is also a well thought idea.

Cheers to Wella for this one.

My brother loves me for this *hihi*.

PROS OF WELLA SP BALANCE SCALP LOTION:
1. Easy to use,
2. Results are visible,
3. Not very expensive compared to the other range in which Wella has similar products.
4. Nice packing and the nozzle applicator is a boon.

CONS OF WELLA SP BALANCE SCALP LOTION:
1. Makes scalp oily (for me since I have thin fine hair).
There are no other drawbacks than this, I can think of. So if you are facing a sensitive scalp issue this monsoon, I say go ahead with this one.

IMBB rating: 4.5/5

Love to all.

Nature’s Essence Oxy Fair Oxygen Bleach Review

Today, I am going to do a review on Oxy Fair Creme Bleach.  I am not very regular in applying bleach on my face because I am a little skeptical about putting so many harsh chemicals on my sensitive, pimple-prone skin. I have heard about Oxy facials and bleach a lot, so when I saw Oxy fair Bleach, I picked it up. Let’s get on with the review.

Product Description:

Oxyfair is oxygenated skin bleach which helps the skin to breath; as it takes water and lipids into the skin. It gives hydrating, glowing and smooth texture to the skin, thereby bleaching dead skin and exposed patch areas.

Key Ingredients:

Cream Bleach: Hydrogen Peroxide, Sunflower oil.

Activator Powder: Ammonia bicarbonate.

Lacto Bleach: Milk, Honey, Geranium Oil, Coconut oil.

Price:

Rs. 65

Packaging:

Packaging is very normal. It has simple white sample bottles with caps, just like any other bleach.

Directions For Use:

• Wash the face with plain water and pat dry.
• Apply the layer of lacto bleach on the face and neck and leave for 5 minutes.  Now, clean with water.
• Its action prepares the skin for bleaching.
• Mix well Oxyfair with activator powder in the ratio of 1 portion of activator to 4 portions of cream enough for the desired area’s application.
• Apply the mixture on the area to be bleached.
• Allow application as per below table.

Note: Avoid eye brows and area around the eyes.

My Experience with Nature’s Essence Oxy Fair Oxygen Bleach:

As I told you before, I am not a bleach person, but when I see that many people are using it and getting positive results, I thought of using it once in a while when I want to see that extra glow. The box contains an instruction manual which is very useful as it has all details written on it.  Oxyfair bleach comes with creme bleach and powder activator, just mix these two ingredients and apply on your face. They have also given Lacto bleach cream which we have to apply before applying the bleach mixture.  Lacto bleach is good for tan removal. It helps in preventing pigmentation.  One has to apply a thin layer for 10-15 minutes and remove it with water.  Then, we have to apply bleach creme.

As per the instructions, you have to wait for 2 minutes before applying the bleach creme.  It does not sting on my skin. My eyes were also not watery.  Creme is easy to apply.  As you can see in the pictures, the powder activator is of lavender colour, the bleach creme is standard white, and the concoction comes to a pretty lavender color. There is no stretchy feeling on the face and after 15 minutes, I could wash my face easily without any extra efforts. The results are amazing; I get soft, radiant, healthy looking skin. There is no artificial pale look, rather it is very natural. I loved the results. My pimples also didn’t get irritated and neither was there any redness.

I actually followed the instruction exactly as given. I mixed the bleach cream and activator in a ratio 4:1. Mine is whitish skin, so I apply for 12-15 minutes and then remove with a damp cotton.  The effect was as expected. It gave a lightened bright complexion. The brightness lasts for 2-3 days.

Note: Results can vary for different skin types.

Pros of Nature’s Essence Oxy Fair Oxygen Bleach:

• Works very well in giving a natural glow to the face.
• Has active oxygen which boosts facial brightness.
• Lacto bleach cream is included, which has healthy ingredients that enhances bleaching.
• Does not sting or irritate delicate facial skin.
• No dryness of skin post bleaching.
• Suitable for all skin types.
• Decently priced.
• Easily available.

Cons of Nature’s Essence Oxy Fair Oxygen Bleach:

• It effects last for only2-3 days.

IMBB rating:

I would rate this 3.75/5

Will I recommend this product or repurchase it?

I liked the instant glow Oxyfair Oxygen bleach has given to me. I would recommend this to people who are not satisfied with there own bleach.

Khadi Herbal Watermelon Lip Balm Review

Hello Everyone,

I was looking for a lip balm that could be used at night and so I bumped into Khadi lip balms. I have used Khadi products before and they did not turn out to be bad, so I gave Khadi Herbal Watermelon Lip Balm a try. Moreover it read “watermelon,” and I was so tempted that I instantly bought it. Let us come down to the review of it.

Price:

Rs. 100 for 10 gm.

Shelf Life:

24 months.

Ingredients:

My Experience with Khadi Herbal Watermelon Lip Balm:

I am not fond of lip balms that come in pots but then the flavor attracted me and I settled on buying it. The lip balm comes in a plastic pot with a screw cap.  The cap secures tightly and thus makes it travel friendly. I noticed that the plastic is not really cheap as I tried hard to break the cap by applying pressure but it did not (only for the review purpose). But I cannot say if it will survive a fall as I did not want to risk it.

The texture of the lip balm is quite light, spreads easily and does not feel sticky on the lips. I make a point to wash my hands before I dip my finger in it. It smells very mildly of watermelon so sensitive noses should not have a problem. I noticed a slight tingling sensation on applying but it vanishes off in like 5 seconds. It keeps my lips moisturized all throughout the night but during the day it needs reapplication in about 3 hours. Lips appear slightly glossy post application but that disappears in an hour and you are left with soft moisturized lips. It does not give any tint to the lips so won’t cover any pigmentation.

Also, there is no mention of SPF so you cannot apply it during the day. I do not have chapped lips so can’t comment if it is effective in healing them. Overall, I quite like the lip balm and will continue to use it at night.

Pros of Khadi Herbal Watermelon Lip Balm:

• Claims to contain beeswax and shea butter.
• Moisturizes quite well.
• Mild fragrance.
• Feels light on the lips.
• Does not give a sticky feeling to the lips.
• Inexpensive.
• Travel friendly.
• Available online as well as at Khadi stores.

Cons of Khadi Herbal Watermelon Lip Balm:

• Unhygienic packaging.
• No tint, so won’t cover pigmentation of the lips.
• No SPF mentioned.
• Needs frequent reapplication if used during the day.
• Only key ingredients mentioned.

Final Verdict:

This lip balm is one of the affordable ones that can be used at night. I cannot say whether it will heal chapped lips. If you have no such concerns, then you can definitely buy it for a change.

Marks & Spencer Mediterranean Raspberry Lip Butter

Hello dolls!!!

How are you. Thank you all for your lovely comments on my previous post. It really means a lot to me. As said in my last post which was M&S lip butter in tropical coconut that I am looking forward of trying more lip butters from the this brand in different variants, so this time I got M&S lip butter in Mediterranean raspberry. The reason behind getting this particular one was that it had raspberry in it, and I like raspberries. Hoping that it would have fruity fragrance with some sweetness I got this lip butter. Well this was the short story (or history) behind the purchase of this product. So let’s get started….

Claims:

Smooth on to the lips to leave them feeling soft and moisturized. Chosen with care, made with ingredients around the world.

My Experience with Marks & Spencer Mediterranean Raspberry Lip Butter:

To start with the packaging first, this lip butter comes in hot pink colored tube with some floral design on it. (Raspberry variant-pink tube….perfect combination……for me) The cap is a screw type  which is brown in color. I think the packaging is cute.

The product inside the tube is also pink in color. The fragrance is normal kind. It’s not like you will hate it, it’s good, but it was not what I expected. I felt the coconut one much more tempting interms of fragrance than this variant of the lip butter. The product easily comes out of the tube. You don’t have to press it hard. It’s neither too thick nor flowy, it’s intermediate kind. The lip butter nourishes my lips well. My lips felt healthy and soft after using it. It swiftly glides on the lips. The texture of the product is not at heavy, instead it’s very light. It’s not sticky and therefore I think it’s perfect for the summer time. The product has a great formula I think .Since the product is pink in color it gives very light pink tinge to your lips. This I think is the best part of this lip butter. You can see this pinkness in the pictures here (it somewhat matches with background pink color…..I noticed that after I clicked the pictures)….my final verdict- it’s a nice product and is worth giving a try.

Pros of Marks & Spencer Mediterranean Raspberry Lip Butter:

1. Great packaging.
2. Lips become soft and healthy.
3. Glides over the lips.
4. It’s tinted and gives pinky tint to the lips.
5. Travel friendly….easily fits into my bag.

Cons of Marks & Spencer Mediterranean Raspberry Lip Butter:

The fragrance is okay kinds, as I have already said that above, apart from this I don’t think there is any con. I like this lip butter.

Will I repurchase Marks & Spencer Mediterranean Raspberry Lip Butter?

It performs every function alip butter needs to do, so yes I will repurchase it and yes I will try the other variants too.( this is what I can’t stop doing…. You know variety is good….isn’t it?)

I hope you like the review and find it useful. See you next time. Have a nice day.

Purederm Anti-Stress Heat Therapy Mask – Apricot Review

Hello Beauties,

I bought some masks online a few days ago as I don’t like using just one mask because it bores me, so I keep on using different masks with different fragrances. My review for today is a self-heating mask from Purederm in Apricot.  This was my first time when I was using a self-heating mask and was keen to try how it worked. So, let’s jump directly to the review.

Price:

Rs. 105 for 15 ml.

Product Description:

Relaxing and invigorating. Purederm botanical choice anti-stress heat therapy mask “Apricot” has a special formulation to heat up instantly after being applied to your face, like a hot towel treatment. This rich, invigorating mask enhanced with apricot and avocado extract, draws out excess dirt and oil, gently exfoliates skin, removing dull skin cells to instantly reveal smooth, radiant and healthy complexion.

How To Use:

• Thoroughly cleanse face with warm water. Leave the face wet.
• Open sachet and apply the mask evenly over face and neck, avoiding eyes and lips.
• After 15-20 minutes, rinse with water.

Ingredients:

My Experience with Purederm Anti-Stress Heat Therapy Mask – Apricot:

I bought several masks online as my face packs and masks had finished and no woman can survive without them.  I saw certain variants online and put them into the basket. Coming to this one, as I have mentioned, it’s a self-heating mask.  I always had a perception about them that they never work, how can a mask heat up by itself? So, I sat and tried this.  Packaging is the most cutest thing I love about Purederm and Montagne Jeunesse masks. They look so different and obviously attracts women with the packaging itself. The lady on the packet has applied a creamy peach colour mask but actually the mask inside the packet was nothing like that. The mask was beautiful pink in colour.  I have never ever used a hot pink coloured mask in my life and pink is everyone’s best friend, so you guys can understand the attachment

It was very runny in consistency and not at all creamy.  The mask was in a liquid form. It was like a body lotion when I actually took it into my palm to apply.  The smell is a nice perfumed fragrance and it feels really good to have such a smell which makes us feel relaxed.  The directions were to use warm water on the face and then apply the mask, I think that would help in heating it up.  I first applied a patch using cold water and the mask did not heat up much. So, that’s a thing you should keep in mind, use warm water or else the mask would be a big waste.

When I took it in my palm, the mask was cold, but the moment I applied it on my face, it actually started heating up and I was so happy that yes, it is really working, but the problem was that since it was very runny in consistency, the droplets were falling everywhere. They were coming down from my forehead and nose, on my lips, and going inside my mouth too and whenever I felt that heat sensation on my lips, I had to wipe it.  The droplets from my chin and neck were going down my whole body, its that runny. So, I would advise you wear an old top before using this one and use it before taking bath.  The heating sensation lasted till the time I washed it off. I kept it for 30 minutes. This pack can be used 3 times but it is very runny, so you have to use it as soon as possible because its not easy to store the remaining face mask.  Me and mom used it and I had to throw a little product away.  I washed it with cold water and it was easy to remove. My skin looked fairer and brighter and the dull and dark skin had gone away. I noticed a glow on my face.  The skin did look radiant, but not soft, it was normal only. The heat sensation lasted after washing, so I rubbed an ice cube over my face and cleaned my pores with the blackhead removing tool. I liked the effects, even though it was messy to use and I will always keep one backup and use it when I don’t have time to take steam and apply a pack separately.

Pros of Purederm Anti-Stress Heat Therapy Mask – Apricot:

• Inexpensive.
• Available online easily.
• Cute packaging and convenient to carry around.
• Gave an amazing heating sensation.
• Made my skin clean, fresh and fair removing the dull skin.
• You do not have to take steam and apply a pack, this mask does it all.
• 3 people can use a single sachet.

Cons of Purederm Anti-Stress Heat Therapy Mask – Apricot:

• Did not make my skin any softer.
• Heating sensation was there for 15 minutes after removing the mask.
• The mask is very runny and would ruin clothes.
• Difficult to store.

Will I Repurchase/Do I Recommend Purederm Anti-Stress Heat Therapy Mask – Apricot?

Yes, do try this as it is a different kind of a mask that will heat up and clean your skin. It gives an instant glow, so perfect for use before going to a party or function. Yes, I will always keep one with me.

Elizabeth Arden Visible Whitening Pore Minimizing Toner Review

Elizabeth Arden has launched a new range “Visible Whitening” and out of all the products including essence, cleanser, night capsules, emulsion, moisturizer, I picked up the Visible Whitening Pore Minimizing Toner.  I was looking for a good toner without any alcohol content and when I checked the ingredient list at the store, there was no alcohol listed, yipee!  A little product info before the review.

Product Description:

This mild, refreshing toner soothes, clams, and clarifies skin as it reduces the look of pores.  Leaves skin looking smooth, clear, and glowing.  Prepares skin to receive benefits of the Visible Whitening regimen.

How To Use:

Sweep on to cleansed skin with cotton pad.

Price:

Rs. 2910 for 200 ml.

Ingredients:

My Take on Elizabeth Arden Visible Whitening Pore Minimizing Toner:

Its a mild, pleasant-smelling, slightly milky toner that comes in a 200 ml sturdy plastic bottle.  I am so thankful the toner is in a plastic bottle instead of a glass one because I have dropped it so many times, if it were glass, it wouldn’t have lasted at all.  The best thing about this toner is that it is alcohol free, therefore does not sting. Also, contains ingredients like witch hazel, glycerin, camellia sinesis leaf extract.

This would be a great toner for sensitive skin and dry skin because it has glycerin in it.  Glycerin makes my skin a bit greasy, so I would have loved it if glycerin was not there, but still, this is one of the best toners I have used. This toner soothes irritated skin and reduces the appearance of pores temporarily.  Whatever dry patches I have on my skin due to acne ointments, this toner clears them out.

I haven’t seen any whitening effect as such, but I think one would have to use the other Visible Whitening products in this range along with the toner to see better results.  One more thing I have noticed is that I do not need to moisturize after using this toner,  that too is probably because of the glycerin and hydrogenated castor oil.

Dry skin, combination skin, and sensitive skin would love this toner, but some of you with oily and super oily skin would find it to be a bit greasy, so stay away from this.  Others, you can go ahead and pick this one, its alcohol free

Summing up the pros and cons:

Pros of Elizabeth Arden Visible Whitening Pore Minimizing Toner:

• Reduces the appearance of pores, temporarily.
• Clears out dry patches on the skin.
• Refreshing fragrance.
• Does not contain alcohol, therefore does not sting.
• Contains witch hazel and green tea extracts.
• Calms irritated skin.
• Works as a good toner.

Cons of Elizabeth Arden Visible Whitening Pore Minimizing Toner:

• Haven’t seen any visible whitening, will have to include other Visible Whitening products in skin care regimen to see better results.
• Contains glycerin and castor oil, which although is good for dry and combination skin types, might make oily skin greasy.

IMBB Rating:

4/5.

Will I Repurchase Elizabeth Arden Visible Whitening Pore Minimizing Toner?

Yes, its one of the few toners that is alcohol free and does not sting.

Chambor Smooth On Eyeliner in Army Green Review

Hi everybody,

How are you doing? After hoarding a lot of blue liners, I was in search of good green liners – the ones on the darker side of green because light greens on my already green eyes make me look like ginnie Anyway, so in the green race, I picked up two green eyeliners, one is “what was I thinking?” type and another “where were you before?” type. So, this one from Chambor falls in the latter category. Read on to find more on this one.

Product Description:

High-performance liquid eyeliner: it is characterised by immediate colour release.

• It draws a full, long lasting stroke and guarantees good application control.
• The formulation incorporates fast-drying acrylic polymers that produce a continuous, persistent film.
• The product fixes perfectly to the skin, without smudging.
• These special additives, with water-resistant properties, help the pigment last for hours, even when it comes into contact with water.
• The finish is bright, intense and characterized by high coverage.
• For a defined look, glide along lash line from inner to outer corner of the eye. For a dramatic look, apply slightly heavier at outer corners. Do not apply on the inner rim of eyes.

Price:

INR 625 for 3.5 ml.

Ingredients:

Acrylates copolymer, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, disteardimonium hectorite, glyceryl dibehenate, hydrogenated polyisobutene, hydrogenated styrene/isoprene co-polymer, isododecane, kaolin, lecithin, methicone, polymethylsilsesquioxane, silica, sorbitan sesquioleate, stearic acid, synthetic flourphlogopite talc, tocopheryl acetate, triethoxycaprylylsilane.

My Experience with Chambor Smooth On Eyeliner in Army Green:

Well, I mostly use pencil and gel eyeliners. Though I did hear a lot about the staying power of liquid eyeliners, I always thought I would mess up in application. When I saw this one, it was love at first sight.  Though I was still skeptical about the application part, I bought it immediately.

The packaging consists of a transparent gloss kind of tube through which the eyeliner can be seen. It is a small, cute tube. It has a screw kind of lock and has no chances of leaking in your bag.  The shade appears to be glittery green from the tube but it actually sets to somewhere between matte and glossy finish.  Shimmers would not have interested me either. It is a unique green shade going true to its name of “Army Green.” I have a dress in such shade too You must have used many greens but this is going to have a special place in your vanity. It dries up in around half a minute which makes it perfect for me as I cannot keep my eyes closed for long.
Now coming to the applicator part, it was fine for me, it allows a smooth application. I just wish it was a little stiffer for beginners like me.

Chambor has such amazing staying power. It stayed on my oily lids for 6 hours intact without any base or BB cream.  After that, it began to wear off a little but did not vanish completely. It was only when I removed it consciously that it came out.  Needless to say, it is completely smudge-proof and water proof. So, that makes it fall under my trustworthy category of liners who will never ditch on special occasions.

Swatches:

Overall, Chambor is Chambor quality wise and I love it for that.

Pros of Chambor Smooth On Eyeliner in Army Green:

• Pretty unique shade.
• Stays on and on.
• Comes in a cute gloss like packaging.
• Applicator is fine enough for a smooth application.
• Sets in to somewhere between complete matte and complete glossy look.
• Smudge proof.
• Water proof.

Cons of Chambor Smooth On Eyeliner in Army Green:

• Pricey.
• I wish the applicator was a little more stiff.

Do I Recommend/Will I Repurchase Chambor Smooth On Eyeliner in Army Green?

Yes for both.

IMBB Rating:

4.5/5

Until next time, take care!
