Hi all !
Today i'd be reviewing a smoothing serum by Garnier Frucits, it is Garnier Fructis Smoothing Serum Silky Straight 24/7. I do like using hair serums/potions in order to tame my frizzy hairs. 


Claims :-
Smoothes hair to make it silky.
Detangles unmangeable hair.
Gives you radiant shine.

Price : INR89/-
Quantity : 40ml
Shelf Life : 36months


The 40ml bottle is quite small and handy, and can be easily carried around, can be slipped into your bag, and you can use it spontaneously anywhere. The packaging is sturdy, and has green transparent body, with a flip top cap.

The serum is clear, and has a runny texture, whereas the fragrance is same as that of the rest Garnier fructis products. What i like about the serum is its fragrance, but as far as "silky straight" claim is concerned, i doubt it will hardly work for curly/frizzy/wavy hairs, except that it may work nicely on straightened hairs. Otherwise its an ok-ish serum, but alone it doesn't helps in de-tangling hairs. The other thing that i like about it is, that it adds nice shine to hairs.

Pros :-

  • Small Packaging lasted me more than month.
  • Nice fragrance.
  • Affordable.
  • Easily available.
  • Non-greasy.
  • Adds shine to hair.
Cons :-
  • Does nothing to make hairs silky.
  • Does not detangles hair properly


So based on its 3 claims, i would rate it 1/3 because it only adds shine to my hairs and nothing else. I would not purchase it, however girls with sleek straight hair might want to try it.

Have you tried Garnier Fructis Smooehing Serum ?

Godbless !!

Hi everyone. This is the review of the my favourite scrub – Hip Hop Kiwi Scrub.



What the Company Claims : Hiphop Skin Care Kiwi Face Scrub is a unique & advanced face scrub specially formulated with micro granules. It contains real Kiwi extract, Aloe Vera, Honey & Vitamin C. It gently & effectively exfoliates dead skin cells, dirt, oils & impurities from deep within the skin. Kiwi fruit is an abundant source of Vitamin C, an excellent facial cleanser which gently exfoliates skin, removes toxins, reduces scars, blemishes & dark spots. Also contains Aloe Vera, Honey & Vitamin C to moisturise, soothe & lighten the skin. Suitable for all skin types.

Price : 80INR for 120gms
Availability : Available at online sites
Expiry : 36months from Pkg
Directions : Moisten face & neck. Squeeze a quarter sized portion of the product and apply all over face & neck with wet fingertips. Gently massage for a minute in circular movement avoiding eye area. Rinse well with water & pat dry. 



My experience: It comes in an inverted plastic tube with a flip cap and with a picture of the kiwi fruit on the front. The packaging is sturdy, travel friendly and the cap shuts tightly so no problem of spillage. It has a nice mild fragrance. The scrub contains green and brown granules and the scrub overall is pista in colour. The scrub is not creamy and the granules are quite mild. It exfoliates the skin well and the granules clean the skin effectively. I have oily/combination skin which gets dry with changes in weather. So I have used it at both times when my skin was oily as well as dry and it cleansed my skin effectively regardless of its condition. So I think it will suit all skin types.



Pros-
  • Sturdy Packaging.
  • Granules are mild.
  • No parabens.
  • Will suit all skin types.
  • Good enough for everyday use.
  • Quite cheap.
  • Cleanses the skin effectively.


Cons-
  • Availability can be an issue.



Conclusion : Gentle scrub good enough for everyday use. Waiting for this one to be over, so that I can try the Coffee one.
Rating : 4/5

Hello readers.....today I’m going to review a product from Jovees Cosmetics brand- Jovees Foot Cream & Scrub. I bought this scrub from www.urbantouch.com.



Here is brief information about the brand- JOVEES is a line of Herbal cosmetics aligning the Power of Herbs & Power of science and is produced at the state-of-the-art manufacturing units at Rudrapur and Noida (India) using the most modern scientific processes that meet international standards. The Range was launched in September' 2004 in New Delhi and subsequently launched across India. The products are sold through the top departmental and cosmetic stores across India. 

JOVEES comprises of Herbal Skin Care Range, 24 Carat Gold Range, Sun Care Range, Hair Care Range, Lip Care, Eye Care. The products are being exported to United Kingdom, Spain, France, Holland, Hong Kong, Korea, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Nepal. (Source www.jovees.com)
After reading about the company profile, I realised that its really good and big brand. Also its good to know that they use herbs in their product. 



I’ve tanned feet so I decided to give a try to some foot scrub. I chose this one because it contains both cream and scrub.  The product says:  A cream cum scrub formulation easily absorbed into the skin, shall help in the healing of the problems of even the driest and roughest feet. This unique product that shall rejuvenate and revitalize damaged skin to give your feet a smoother, healthier and more radiant appearance. A daily use product for your beautiful feet.

I loved the composition, cream + scrub as the scrubbing by using this scrub is very gentle. Also the cream helps in maintain the moisture of the skin. But also the scrub is so gentle that it didn’t showed good results.

The product comes in a plastic tube with a flip top and has pinkish creamy composition with a pleasant soap like fragrance.

My experience: -
  • I’m using this scrub for past 2-3 months, but I’m not satisfied with it.
  • It does clean the feet but does not remove the tan.
  • The cream is good, as it helps in healing the heels and also provide moisture.
  • I love its fragrance.

Here are its ingredients: -



Pros : -
  • Inexpensive.
  • Good combination of cream and scrub.
  • Fragrance is good and mild.
  • Cream provides moisture.
  • Non greasy.
  • It’s handy.


Cons : -
  • Does not remove the tan.
  • Talking about particularly scrub, it didn’t work out for me.


It is a 60g pack and costs Rs. 75 INR.

Have you used this scrub? Which Scrub you use?

Hi everyone. This is the review of the Biotique Milk Protein Face Pack



What the Company Claims : Milk Protein has been nature's moisture booster and lightening elixir since Cleopatra's legendary bath. The whitening and nourishing pack is blended with pure extracts of milk protein, wheat germ, almond oil, honey and seaweed to moisturize and revitalize the skin. Eases away wrinkles and lightens skin for a visibly fairer, smoother, rejuvenated complexion.Helps to moisturize and revitalize the skin. It eases wrinkles and smoothes the skin making it radiant. Can be used every day.

Price : 199INR for 60gms
Availability : Available at online sites and general beauty stores
Expiry : 3years
Directions : Apply evenly over cleansed face, neck and around eyes. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with water or damp washcloth. Use daily or as needed.



My experience : Like all Biotique products this face pack also comes in their standard green tub packaging. I seriously wish they change this packaging soon, because its such a turn off to dip your fingers in to remove the product. And the worst part is, it always gets into my nails. The face pack is creamy, thick off-white in colour. And the best part is that it doesn’t dry up at all. Not even if you keep it for an hour. (Yes I tried it) So it’s a boon for dry skinned girls as there is no stretchy feeling that the masks usually give upon drying. The mask is creamy in texture, so it spreads easily onto the skin. I leave it for like 20mins and then wash it off with cold water. It comes off easily but takes its time. It leaves the skin extremely soft, hydrated and radiant. It even removes the tan to a certain extent. It has a very mild fragrance and is gentle enough for everyday use.



Pros-
  • Gives a radiant look.
  • Leaves skin soft and smooth.
  • Removes tan to a certain extent.
  • Non-drying mask, so no stretchy feeling.
  • Presence of natural ingredients.
  • Does brighten up the face.


Cons-
  • The tub packaging. 





Conclusion : I like this mask, especially during the winters when my skin tends to get dry and flaky. A good mask for daily use.Definitely worth trying.

Rating : 4.5/5

Let me start of by telling you that I hate the smell of roses. It gives me a headache. So your question should obviously be why I got the Avon Red Rose and Peach Hand soap  I got this on an offer with the Avon Red Rose and Peach body wash and I wanted to use it for gifting but my handwash had just gotten over and being too lazy to go to the store and get another one I started using this 

What Avon claims :



Price : Rs 199
Qty : 200 ml
Ingredients & Directions for use :



Packaging : Comes in a pink square-ish dispenser with a stopper.
Fragrance : Maybe its my bad luck but the scent of roses overpowers the peach fragrance. The scent is so overpowering that it gives me a headache!! 
Avon claims that this handwash has a gentle moisturizing formula but when I use this I really don’t find any difference. Infact it dries out my hands a little.



Here’s another reason why you might think twice before using it: It has SLS !
This handwash is definitely inexpensive for the quantity given but why would we buy something which doesn’t.



Overall I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone (even if you like the fragrance of roses). It is just another product which does nothing for your hands !
