Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel Review

Hello everyone!

Today I am going to review the first product I brought from Patanjali. Aloe vera gel is my favourite moisturizer ever. But unfortunately, pure aloe (the homemade version!) gave me rashes so many times that I had to look for processed ones. This is my second brand when it comes to Aloe vera. Let’s see how this one fared. Shall we.?

Price : Rs.80; Buy : Amazon

Avon Imari Seduction Skin Softener Review

Hello everyone!

I believe we all have our personal choice of fragrance. While I love fruity citrus smells very much I also love oriental and mild smells as well. So when I read up a few months ago that this skin softener had an amazing smell and worked amazingly I simply had to get it. Do read on to know what I feel about it. The ‘Seduction’ part also caught my eye but I was really sure that a skin softener cannot possibly help in that front.

Price and Quantity:

Price varies but roughly Rs.200 for 150 g

 

My Experience:

While I was totally drawn towards its smell I expected nothing from it other than the fragrance. But after getting it and using it for a while I was pleasantly surprised with it. The product comes in a purple tub with a silver screw lid. The packaging looks quite cheap but the lid closes fully and hence is travel friendly. I have kept it in my purse for days without any problem and have also dropped the container twice (Lousy me!) but the container is quite sturdy.

The product is quite slippery and feels watery. One needs very less product for each use hence one tub will last them quite a while. The creamy liquid glides on skin easily and absorbs into skin. I usually use it after I bathe and love its smell. The smell is quite strong and stays for long. I feel this stays for nearly 4-5 hours easily.

The product leaves skin feeling soft and smooth to touch. I had some dry parts on my leg and applying this totally took care of that. I love this on my elbows and knee too. It is a good way to nourish skin minus the oiliness of the usual moisturizers. So those who would like to get something for daily use or during hot seasons may try this. It does not feel heavy like some body butters and really keeps skin feeling soft and healthy. It takes care of any mild dry areas on skin and keeps them protected.

 

Why I like?:

  • Cost effective and on sale quite often so you can get it for around 150-200Rs
  • Easy to use and absorbs into skin quickly
  • Does not feel greasy
  • Smells so heavenly and is quite mild
  • Keeps skin hydrated for long
  • Needs very less amount per usage so one tub can be used for a good amount of time

Why I don’t like?:

  • Availability
  • May not be efficient for extremely dry skinned beauties

 

Rating: 4/5

 

So will I recommend this to you?:

Yes I will; this one is a great moisturizer to use every day and works quite good. While I don’t know about the ‘seduction’ part but it surely smells quite nice so I really feel all of you should try this amazing product at least once. It is affordable and will not burn a hole in your pocket so it’s worth a try.

 

Will I repurchase?:

Yes I will repurchase this as soon as I finish this tub. I have it for 2 months and I’m still not able to finish this up.

Revlon Touch and Glow Advanced Fairness Cream Review

Hi girls! How are you? I hope all of you are happy, chirpy and beautiful, as ever. I have a confession to make. I always fall of a prey to products that say words like, ”clear complexion”, ”fairness”, ”glowing skin” (Even though most of them never do exactly what they claim!) Given that, there is one more such product I happened to pick up, few months back. It is Revlon touch and glow advanced fairness cream.

Although, the fairness claim as such turned out to be false, as expected. Still, it turned out to be a decent product. I got my second tube free with my mom’s hair color. Yay!  Read on to know more about my experience with the product.

(I always try to research a bit about the contents of the product. I might not give you excellent advice but here is a little something I would like to share. One of reasons why honey is good for your face is because it has antioxidants which help to repair skin damage and give your face a lift. Honey also contains potassium that helps in treatment for acne. Dual sunscreen means the product offers protection from UV A as well as UV B and prevents skin darkening.)


Price and Quantity:

Rs. 165  for 50 grams

My Take:

This fairness cream comes in a soft pink and cream coloured tube. It has a screw cap, which closes tightly. It is light weight and easy to carry around.

The cream is creamy white in color and it has a lotion like consistency. It is not at all runny, not thick either. It spreads well on skin and gets completely absorbed in skin. Please see the picture, that much amount is sufficient for entire face. It has a mild smell which goes off real fast. So, it should not be a problem for irritable noses.

The cream leaves the skin with a matte finish. Thankfully, it does not leave my skin with a chalky layer (like fair and lovely). It feels very light on my skin with no greasy feeling at all. I have not experienced any break outs or allergy with the product. Overall, it is a decent day cream.

Why I like:

  • Feels light on skin
  • It has sunscreen
  • Mild fragrance
  • No chalky layer on skin after use, as with Fair and lovely
  • Helps in getting rid of daily tan
  • No breakouts
  • Affordable
  • Travel friendly

Why I don’t like?:

  • Fake fairness claim, I did not improve my complexion


Final Verdict:

It turned out to be a very fine day cream for me with moisturisers and sunscreens. I would not say that it helped me improve my complexion but it has protected further tanning for me.

Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

If you are looking out for all in one product that works as a moisturiser, fairness cream as well as mild sunscreen. Go for it.

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, most probably. Though, I never stop hunting for better products :D

Nature’s Essence Aloe Vera Gel Review and Photos

by Arshita

Good day friends. I have combination oily skin, so I always apply aloe vera gel every time I wash face, especially in the summer months. Previously I have used aloevera gel from the brand Aloe Veda and also from Oriflame, this summer I thought of trying a different brand. And after searching a lot, I bought Nature’s Essence Aloevera Gel. So, today I will review this product for you.

Price : Rs.150 for 200 gm; Buy : Amazon.in

Claims of the Gel:

Aloe Vera is a world renowned plant for its cosmetic and medicinal miracle properties. Nature’s Essence Aloe Vera uses the goodness of this miracle plant from its natural sources along with modern manufacturing processes to offer you a treatment moisturizing gel ideal for softening the skin, protecting it from sun damage and acting as a guard and immunizing agent against skin ailments like dry skin, acne 7 itchy skin conditions. The gel is an ideal solution for gifting you soft, glowing and pampered skin.

 


Key Ingredients: 

Aloe Vera extracts & Peppermint oil, Demineralized water. No detailed ingredients list provided!

Usage Directions: 

Apply the gel after cleansing your face and massage the softly into the skin for softening & protecting it against environmental pollutions. Ideal to be used every day.

Shelf life: 

36 months.

My Take on Nature’s Essence Aloe Vera Gel:

The gel comes in a round pot. The gel is a transparent, in not-too-thick consistency. It smells very pleasant, very mild. While applying, the gel might seem little bit less thick than other aloe vera gels, but it is very easy to spread on the skin. It is not at all greasy, very light gel. It also gives an instant glow to my face and looks very fresh.

 

 

 

It controls oil for a very good period of time. But, the times when applied a bit more than a pea size amount, after sometime, my face becomes somewhat sticky, not oily. The pot has huge amount, will survive my two summers. It keeps skin soft and balanced in moisture for a long time. The pot is sure good for travel purposes. Sometimes, when I am going out for long hours, I keep it in my bag with other necessary products.

 

 

I love aloevera gels, and I loved Aloe Veda one. But, after using Nature’s Essence Aloevera Gel, I think I will continue it. It sure has some cons like absence of ingredient list, but for my combination skin, it never broke me out and it never made my skin dry. Though after 4-5 hours it makes my T-zone oily, it also makes my skin glow and soft. So, overall, it is a decent product and worth giving a try.

Likes:

  • Very soothing mild smell.
  • Fairly large amount.
  • Pretty decent price.
  • Cute packaging.
  • Keeps skin soft and moisture.
  • Stays a long time.
  • Not greasy.
  • Travel friendly.

 

Dislikes:

  • No detailed ingredient list.
  • Makes skin sticky if applied more than certain amount.
  • Does not control oil for long time.

MABH Rating: 4.5/5.

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, it will be very good for normal to dry skin or even combination skin (like me).

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, sure.
