Nature’s Essence Magic Papaya Facial Kit Review, Swatches and Photos

15 Replies

Hello Girls!

This is my first post on MABH and I am very excited. Thank you so much Lancy for giving me this opportunity. Today I am going to review a facial kit.  I had ordered this kit online. It was a Combo offer. I had got Nature’s essence Manicure Pedicure Kit as well which I will review later.

I just love facials. But who has got a time nowadays to go to beauty parlors due to hectic work schedule. Since it was very affordable I didn’t waste time and ordered it quickly. So here is my review.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.750 for 425 g

 

My Experience:

I quiet like the packaging which contains the kit. The product comes in orange tubs which contains all ingredients and directions. I found it little bit unhygienic because every time you have to scoop out the creams with your hand.

My experience with this facial kit was not so good. I liked the cleansing cream. It cleansed my skin very well. I have combination skin and it didn’t make my skin dry.

Cleansing Cream:

I mixed the scrub powder in rose water since I didn’t have the toner. As per the instructions, I started massaging it over  my face in circular motion for 5 minutes. I washed it off after that. I didn’t find any great difference but my skin appeared little smoother.

Now the third step Anti Blemish cream. I massaged my face with this cream for 15 minutes. But it gets dry after 2 minutes. So I have to apply it 3 to 4 times for this massage. I didn’t find any difference after using this cream. I was very disappointed. But still I had to finish the last step.

Anti Blemish Cream:

It is a ready to use face pack. You don’t have to mix anything. I applied it on wet face and kept it for 15 minutes. There was a slight tingling sensation but it didn’t last for more than 5 minutes. I washed it off after 15 minutes. My skin felt little bit stretchy but there was a little bit glow on my face.

Face Pack:

This entire process took one and half hour for me and the effect lasted only for two days. I can say it is an average product.

PROS:

  • I liked the quantity. I have used this kit for 4 to 5 times and still half of the product is left
  • It didn’t break me out
  • It gives a little bit glow
  • My skin appeared very much smoother after the application
  • It has got a mild flowery fragrance
  • I even got a Magic De pigmentation oil free with this kit

CONS:

  • This facial kit made my skin little bit dry. I don’t think so it will suit dry skin.
  • The glow lasted for only 2 days.
  • The anti blemish cream didn’t work on my skin
  • I found this srub thing little bit messy. Every time you have to take out the scrub powder, mix it with the toner and then you have to use. They should have provided a ready to use scrub
  • Feels little bit unhygienic as every time you have to scoop out the product with your hand

 

Rating: 3/5

 

My Recommendation:

A big nooooooooooo from me. In fact I am trying to finish it as early as possible so that I can try the new one!

Himalaya Herbals Refreshing Cleansing Milk Review and Swatches

12 Replies

Hello beauties,

Hope you were all doing great!! Today I am going to review a Cleansing milk. Proper cleansing at regular interval is very important to all. Especially, if you are a makeup lover then you need that extra cleansing. Nowadays water proof make up stuffs are being included in everyday make up. In that case cleansing milk helps us to get clean skin. Let us find out Himalaya cleansing milk is how good in that part.

Price: 

Rs 80 for 100ml

 

My Take:

This one is white and green colored plastic package as like any other Himalaya products. It is a cylindrical bottle wide at top and slightly narrow at bottom with flip cap. I am impressed by the sturdy package hence it will be a travel friendly.

It is a white colored lotion neither thick nor runny and spreads easily on my skin. Mild and sweet fragrance which will not be a problem for sensitive nose.

I started using cleansing milk not for removing makeup but to get rid of oiliness from my skin. My friend advised me to use cleansing milk every day which will help to remove excess oil from my skin and gives clean & fresh look. Ever since cleansing milk was included in my cosmetics shopping list. Ayur is my first cleansing milk, after using it for a year I needed a change, so I bought Himalaya cleansing milk.

It is for all skin types. It absorbs on my skin quickly. I massage softly that will help to penetrate on my skin and do the cleansing work more effectively. After 2 or 3 minutes, I wipe it off with cotton. Finally, I wash my face with plain water or sometimes with face wash because cleansing milk stickiness and smell lingers on my face.

This cleansing milk gives healthy look to my face that was completely unexpected factor. I forgot to mention I didn’t follow my friend’s advice of daily cleansing routine. I use it occasionally to remove makeup after any parties & functions and on sunny shopping days, where I grab all the pollutants on my skin. It is pretty good in removing oil and dirt. Its efficiency in removing water proof products is more than average. It could have been better on that part.

Before and After:

I have applied water proof eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, eye shadow & foundation

After cleansing there was residue of eyeliner and lipstick (I’m not sure the camera catches it or not) but other things are completely wiped off.

PROS:

  • Hypoallergenic.
  • Non-comedogenic
  • Sturdy and travel friendly package
  • Mild smell
  • It is for all skin type
  • Removes dirt, oiliness and non-water proof products effectively
  • Gives healthy look

CONS:

  • It irritates my eyes therefore removing eye makeup will be a painful job.
  • It could have been more efficient on removing water resistant products.

 

Rating: 4.3/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, but if your makeup routine include lots of water-proof products then you have to think twice.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, it is a good cleansing milk.

Banjara’s Saffron Cleansing Milk Review

Guest Post by Gowmi Sundaram

Hello beautiful :)Yes you! Here I give you not the review of the best product, but the best review of the product under scanner. Today I am going to review the Banjara’s Herbals Saffron Cleansing Milk. Yep! It is such a pretty tempting name and now it’s time to dig in to find what actually is, wrapped beneath that label.

  • Read: Banjara’s Aloe Vera Under Eye Gel Review

Product Description:

  • Improves skin surface condition
  • For all types of skin
  • Rich creamy and fragrant
  • Removes impurities of facial skin
  • Help free clogged pores
  • Protects face against problems caused by pollution

Price and Quantity: Rs.120 for 100ml

Key Ingredients:

  •     Saffron
  •     Turmeric extracts
  •     Red sandalwood oil.

How do I Use it?:

Looks like lots of natural stuff packed in, yet I haven’t revealed the real secret. So did I tell you how I used it?  I mean how you should use it. Here we go.

Moisten your face with Luke warm water and very gently apply our cleansing milk over your face with feeble circular motions. Later remove it with a dry, soft and clean cotton ball. Once you are done you will notice that the milk is actually creamy than jelly or thick.

My Experience with Banjara’s Saffron Cleansing Milk:

Packaging: Good packaging with flip-flop cap and easy to use. A coin size amount of the product is enough for entire face. This cleansing milk weighs light and this the packaging is travel friendly too.

  • Read: Yardley of London English Lavender Gentle Cleansing Face Wash Review

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance: This cleansing milk is mild orange colored with a creamy texture and not very thick or runny in consistency. It smells like kesar but smell could be a big turnoff, atleast it was for me!

How it works: I got combination to normal skin type and clear skin *touchwood*. I bought Banjaras Saffron Cleansing milk in a supermarket near to my home. Actually, they got wide range of products when it comes to cleanser. List goes like Olive cleansing milk, Papaya cleansing milk, Aloevera cleansing milk etc. I am not a big fan of Banjara’s products because scrubs which I bought last month doesn’t work out well on my skin. Though, I got a second thought of trying their cleansing milk. Saffron is one of the most effective skin lightning agents and it also has high anti-oxidant abilities. The main oxidants in saffron are “Crocetin, Iyopene, and Zeaxanthin”.  Keeping these key points in mind I bought banjaras saffron cleansing milk.
        I use this cleansing milk every night before my night cream.  After cleansing with this lotion and some cotton, my face feels oily and dull. I hope it will suitdry skinned beauties well as it prevents skin from excess dryness. When I used this cleansing milk over make-up, it failed to clean all the stubborn, water proof makeup from my face. It could remove make-up to an extent only but not the entire make-up. I struggled to remove my Himalaya Herbals Kajal but it stings eyes too badly. :(

Here in the images below you can see how Banjaras Cleansing Milk works on my eye liner pencil (from left), eye liner, kajal and dazzler lip gloss.

So, I cannot say it is a wonder product but definitely a decent product for the price.

Pros of Banjara’s Saffron Cleansing Milk

  • Good creamy texture and a small amount is enough for the entire face.
  • Integral packing
  • Easy of availability
  • Affordable price
  • Spreads easily and smoothly
  • Will suit dry skin beauties very well as an everyday cleanser
  • The packaging is travel friendly

Cons of Banjara’s Saffron Cleansing Milk

  • Unpleasant smell (may vary from person to person)
  • Ingredient list is not fully given
  • After usage, my normal-combo face feels oily so, oily skinned might find it more oily after cleansing.
  • Doesn’t remove make up fully
  • Stings eyes.. Ouch!

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 3/5


Would I Repurchase Banjara’s Saffron Cleansing Milk?:  

      Well not really, it does removes make up or cleanse face to an extent only. I got combinational to normal skin type and after the usage, this cleanser made my facial skin oily and greasy. I am now going back to my Lakme Fundamentals Deep Pore Cleanser :)

Have you tried Banjara’s Saffron Cleansing Milk?
