Hi everyone. I had purchased this cleansing milk of Vedic Line along with the green tea toner. Lets see how my experience with the cleansing milk was.

What the Company Claims : Shakes & cleanses make up & grease. Keeps skin soft.

Price : 110INR for 100ml

Availability : Available at online sites

Expiry : 36months from Pkg

Directions : Apply a few drops on skin. Massage gently for 2 to 3 minutes & clean it with a damp cotton pad.

My experience : The smell of the lychees is very pleasant and extremely mild and stays on for quite sometime. The cleanser is thick, creamy in texture and white in colour. It spreads easily onto the skin and also comes off with ease without leaving any greasy feeling. The skin becomes squeaky clean without any stretchiness. It’s packed in a see-through plastic bottle with a flip cap which is quite sturdy.

Pros-

Easy to use.
Good smell.
Very creamy and of light consistency.
Removes dirt and make up cleanly.
Cheap.
Mild fragrance.

Cons-

Availability is an issue.
Requires effort to get the product out from the bottle.

Conclusion : I like the Vedic Line products and they seem to impress me with every product that I have tried of theirs. Planning to try out more from their range. Definitely worth a shot.

Rating : 4.5/5

Recently Deepika launched a page on facebook named Saarisha which includes some beautiful handmade jewellery, pendants, hair accessories and lots of beautiful jewellery pieces.

I bought a dress in red color recently and was looking for the matching jewellery. Luckily I came across this page & bought a red thread pendant set in red color. Here is a look...

Such type of jewellery is very hard to find in Chandigarh so when I received it I was so excited. I open it and found a beautiful red color pendant set along with a small letter. I truly loved the color of the set. I thought that the earrings would be big but this size is also apt. I can wear it almost every day. I did a little comparison of the earrings with a 5rs coin.

The earrings are very light, can be worn easily and every day. Talking about pendant, well it also not very huge, making it wearable almost every day. Here take a look how they look like.

Also here is the cute little letter which I got with the set from Deepika.

This set costs Rs. 110 + shipping. I’m happy to shop from Saarisha. I pray that this page grow day by day and attract many customers. Good luck Deepika...happy to shop from Saarisha

Hello everyone...today I’m going to review a product from Lakme brand. Lakme Insta-Liner, water proof eyeliner. This is second time I bought this eyeliner. I love this eyeliner so much. I was in school when I bought this eyeliner for the first time. This is my very first eyeliner and I have fallen in love with it.

Lakme is the very old and well known Indian brand of cosmetics. This brand was launched in 1952 by Hindustan Uniliver and till now it has grown a lot. From a basic range of cosmetics, Lakme has also launched Lakme Absolute range covering every cosmetic in very high quality. Also its Nine-to-Five range is also very famous. This brand has launched product for every customer. Its product range starts from Rs. 45. This brand suits to almost every customer according their pocket and satisfaction.

Now talking about this eye liner, this is the cheapest eyeliner I know till date. Elle 18 eyeliner costs Rs. 65 but its applicator is not good. This eye liner is not only cheap but it has a very good quality.

(Pic 2 is taken from google)

This eye liner is jet black in shade. This is only shade of this liner. As the product claims to be water-resistance, it is water resistant but not water proof. It is intense black, which I like a lot. The applicator is thin brush, making its application very easy.

This eyeliner comes in a bottle which is much similar to nail paint one, with an applicator which is not too big not very small. I can say that this is the perfect eyeliner for the beginners like me. (I mean beginners in makeup).

The back of the bottle does not contain any ingredient list. It only says about how to apply and the makers of the product.

My experience: -

As I have already mentioned that this my 2^nd bottle of the eye liner, so this product has fully satisfied me.
I have a great experience with this eye liner, in fact I use to wear it every day in my college.
I still use it on daily basis.
The applicator is medium sized, so it makes it easy for me to apply it.
I love its intense black color.
It lasts for 4 to 5 hours. It can lasts for more hours but I haven’t experimented it yet.
Its water-resistance quality is adds to its quality.
Quantity is enough, that this bottle can last for 2 years.

Here is its swatch :-

Pros:-

Very good product to be wears every day.
Color is intense black.
Very good applicator. You can apply as thick as you want with the applicator.
Water resistance.
Smudge free.
Beginners must start with this eye liner. It is very good for them.
It lasts for more than 4 hours.
Does not irritate the eyes.
Inexpensive.
It is very easy to use.

Cons:-

It leaves traces when not removed properly.
It takes about 1-2 minutes to dry.

It has shelf life of 30 months. It is 9ml in quantity and costs Rs. 80 INR.

I rate this product as 4.5/5. 0 .5 points is deducted because of its cons.

It is s very good product, Have you tried this eyeliner ?

God Bless....cya...

Lotus Herbals comes out with the most innovative products at times (Remember the hype over the SPF 90 sunscreen?) Well this was another product I spotted in a supermarket and I decided to go ahead and buy it just for its claims and uniqueness. Presenting to you… The Lotus Sunscreen Facewash Gel!!

Now how would it be if we could just use a facewash which also works as a sunscreen and tadaaa!! Ready for the day! But sadly it doesn’t work that way and this innovative product just doesn’t live up to my expectations.

What Lotus claims:

Price: Rs 110

Qty: 80 gms

Ingredients:

The facewash is of a runny consistency (why is it called a gel then??) and even if you try taking out a little quantity carefully.. plop! You get more than you would use for 4 washes

So the consistency is a bummer.Secondly it is soooooo difficult to wash the product off the face!! And there is a thin layer of the product (the sunscreen??) even after the miserable attempts to take the product off my face :/ I know they have mentioned on the tube that it leaves a thin film but it doesn’t feel good. It feels as though my face hasn’t been washed properly. I would rather use a sunscreen.

Once I was successful enough to wash off the thin layer only to find out that my skin was drier than usual. So you either keep the thin layer of layer or strip your skin off moisture and personally I hate both the options

The product doesn’t do wonders on the skin. As soon as I use this my face looks white (not bright though) but that also starts fading off after a while. And I do get tanned even if I use this.

And yes, it does contain SLES so think twice before buying it.

So overall I would just say if you see this in any counter just walk past. It isn’t worth a second look
