Vedic Line Eucalyptus and Rosemary Moisturizer Review

Hi all!

Today I will be reviewing a moisturizer from Vedic Line.

Price & Quantity: 

Rs.120 for 100 ml

 

Shelf Life: 

36 months.

 

My Experience:

Packaging: The product comes in a typical Vedic line transparent bottle package. The 100 ml bottle has a screw cap to the bottle which has flip cap on the top. When the product is about to be empty, open the screw cap and tilt it completely upside down. This will make it easy to flow out.

Color, Consistency & Fragrance: The moisturizer is pure white in color. It can be compared to the Garnier wrinkle lift cream (that old product which comes in a red package) for its texture; very thin like a lotion. It is non sticky and light.
Fragrance is the amazing part of this product. I love the eucalyptus scent. It is as though all other additional fragrance is hidden due to the over whelming eucalyptus scent.

How it works: Spreading the product on the skin is very easy. Usually moisturizers have an oily cast for soothing of the skin. But this product is not oily. It gets absorbed easily into the skin. It moisturizes my skin to a certain level. It has not reacted in any bad way on my face too. But I mostly use this moisturizer for my body. My skin needs reapplying after about 2 hours or so. When reapplied, it again gives a good relief with its scent. If u don’t like that disinfecting smell then this not the product for you.

Since this is not a heavy moisturizer, it will not suit for people with very dry skin and for those who live in areas with severe winter.

PROS:

  • Very good refreshing smell of eucalyptus is present in the moisturizer.
  • A decent moisturizer.
  • Easy handling package with screw cap and also flip cap.
  • Travel friendly bottle.
  • Light weight non greasy moisturizer.
  • Easily absorbed by the skin.

CONS:

  • Will not be helpful during severe winter.
  • Very dry skin people will not find this product mush useful.
  • Needs reapplication in just about 2 hours for my dry skin.
  • Some may not find the eucalyptus smell pleasing.


Rating: 3.5/5


My Recommendation:

Yes. I love the amazing smell of the eucalyptus in the product. It gives a great relief when used after bath.


Would I Repurchase?:

Yes. I have bought this many times again and again.

Auravedic Pure De Stressing Moisturizing Lotion Review

Review by Arpita

Somehow or the other, Ayurvedic or herbal products do not suit me at all! I just do not know why. However, when I saw this cute little bottle with a lavender colored label, I knew I have to try it out.  Did the product actually satisfy me or is it a dud? Read on to find out.

Nivea Refreshing Soft Cream Review

When I was a kid my mum used to apply Nivea on her face and skin during winters. I still remember the blue colored tin packing and it used to smell soooo good. Now coming back to the product, the present Nivea cream retains all the past qualities, this proves their stability in the market. The lable on the cream says “Refreshingly Soft Cream”. Read on to know more about the cream.

Nivea Soft Cream Review

Rs.79 for 50 ml

 

Key Ingredients:

Jojoba oil and vitamin E.

Apply onto the skin and massage till absorbed.

 


Shelf Life:

30 months from the date of manufacture.

 

My Experience:

Nivea Soft Cream Review

Color, Consistency & Fragrance: It is white in color; the consistency is like a thick cream. As I said earlier it retains the same strong floral fragrance. I personally like it.

 

Swatch:

Nivea Soft Cream Review

How it works: Moisturizes skin and avoids dryness to a larger extent. I usually use body lotion everyday to keep my skin hydrated. We planned for a 2-day trip with family and I was not able to carry the full sized body lotion with me since it had a pump dispenser. I decided to buy a handy lotion/cream to carry along and ended up buying this one considering the quantity and the cost. This is a very buttery cream. It takes some time to sink into the skin and keeps the skin hydrated for a very long time. But I didn’t like the oily feeling once applied. It’s a big NO NO for the face if you have a normal skin. Overall it is an averagely rated cream.

PROS:

  • Very moisturizing
  • Available is smaller as well as larger quantities
  • Proven quality
  • Can be used on face too if you have a very very dry skin
  • It is a multipurpose skin cream; you can use it on your knee and foot too

CONS:

  • Takes a long time for the skin to absorb it completely
  • Feels oily
  • Strong fragrance which may not be liked by many
  • Tub packing makes it unhygienic
  • Not suitable for the face if you have a normal/combo/oily skin

 

Rating: 3/5

 

Do I Recommend: 

I recommend to all those ladies who have a very dry skin

 

Would I Repurchase?: 

No. There are many other options in the market.

Oriflame Veryme Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow Review

by Madhulika

Hi to all brainy beauties at MABH!

This is Madhulika, with my first review on my favourite MABH. I am sooooo excited :) Have been reading reviews on sites but now reaching to people sharing my passion, Makeup, beauty, DIY etc. I have been following Lancy for her awesome reviews and now its my chance at MABH. :D

Oriflame Veryme Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow Review


Here I am reviewing one of my current obsessions-tinted moisturizer or as the company says bronzing Moisturizer. This is one of the most popular range of Oriflame Veryme. Here comes my favourite, Oriflame’s veryme Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow. Initially I purchased it as one of my friends suggested that to me. Initially I was little hesitant to use this as I was too choosy in terms of my make-up products & brands (I had bad experiences earlier with oriflame, probably they’ve improved).

 

Price & Quantity:

Rs 298 for 30 ml.(although earlier I got that for Rs 279 with discount from my friend, great na)

 

Shades:

It comes in 2 shades Light & Dark. Light is preferably for people with fair tones while Dark one for me with wheatish or little peachy tones.

 

Key Ingredients:

I would say, as usual ingredients for tinted moisturizer or foundation base. But yes it contains parabens and for make-up products meant for short term usage (can say max 8 hrs a day), can be considered.


Shelf life:

Nothing is mentioned on the product packaging and for 30 ml, longer shelf life is not needed even when you are not a regular user. What do you say guys?

 

My Experience:

As already mentioned, I was little reluctant initially but on the contrary, was amazed to see the effect after use.

Packaging: It comes in nice small black coloured tube with an orange screw cap (catchy combination!) and a nNozzle with small opening to avoid extra ooze out while squeezing. Must say, can carry in your hand bag that too with great ease.

Oriflame Veryme Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow Review


Color, Consistency & Texture: Product is smooth in texture & little runny with nice floral fragrance which stays for long till you wear it (I toh just love it). It has nice gold particles which shines & the pigmentation is awesome which adds healthy glow to your face.

Swatch ~ Before and After 

Oriflame Veryme Peach Me Perfect Skin Glow Review

How it works?: Stays for long, can say 7-8 hours during winters while in summers need to set this with a little compact or mineral powder. This is suitable for all skin tones as it does not have an oily or greasy base. I usually combine it with 2 drops of my moisturiser (Just because of my habit) alone during day time and with mineral foundation at night. it serves the purpose of moisturiser and also covers blemishes, dark patches properly. Works wonders with base or primers. Although available only in 2 shades, the pigmentation is completely according to Indian skin tones. This product makes a good office wear.

PROS:

  • Reasonably priced
  • Lives up to expectations of bronzing moisturizer
  • Travel Friendly
  • Nice moisturising wit required pigmentation
  • Covers patches, spots and blemishes
  • Suits all skin types
  • Easily available at Oriflame Counters, can even order online.

CONS:

  • Contains Parabens
  • Shelf life is not mentioned on product.

 

MABH Rating: 5/5

 

Do I recommend?: 

Yes, to all make up lovers, especially those who prefer light tinted moisturizer as compared to heavy foundations.


Would I Repurchase?: 

Yes, this is my third tube.

 

So hope all MABHians would like this review and till then stay beautiful! Love you MABH!

Just Herbs Aloevera Facial Massage Gel Review

by Shruti

What name can you give a plant which comes with so many benefits and is super awesome? Superplant, like Superman? All of you must have guessed it already. Nah? Come on! It’s a long-stemmed plant with leaves containing transparent gel. Yes, I am talking about Aloevera! Women, 1000’s of years ago, have been using it in their beauty regime (Women will always be women) :)
As usual, my skin started flaring up and this time it was my nose. It was dry nd flaking and I was fed up of applying creams which made it redder. I had seen a couple of aloe vera gels in my local supermarkets but then somebody told me about this gel and in a couple of days, I got this delivered.

Just Herbs is a company which brings you ancient wisdom in a new bottle. It follows the old Ayurvedic Bhaishajyas (texts) and formulates products with plants and herbs. This is one such product of theirs :)


Claims:
An intensive skin rejuvenating facial massage gel designed to nourish ,hydrate and liven up dull and lifeless skin. Aloevera inhibits the over production of enzymes responsible for the breakdown of the collagen-elastin matrix of the skin and provides protection against sun’s UV rays, clears away blemishes, while cucumbers restore the natural moisturising factor(NMF) by delivering vitamins and moisture to the deepest layers of sun-exposed skin .Aloevera and soy lecithin provides nourishment, stimulating the skin’s metabolic functions and combats free radicals to prevent the effects of oxidative skin damage.

Price & Quantity: Rs.395 for 100 gm

Key Ingredients: Aloevera, Cucumber, Soy Lecithin.

Usage Directions:
Regular massage effectively removes sun tan from the face, neck and the back. For best results, follow by the application of Just Herbs Petalsoft Antitan Rose Face Pack or Fennel and Manjishtha Rejuvenating Beauty Pack.

My Experience:

Packaging: The packaging is eco-friendly. In the age of ‘saving the world’ and ‘being green’, I totally love this even though it’s a tad unhygienic. The reason being it comes in a tub with a screw top. So every time you need to use it, in goes your fingers (along with a little germs).I know. Scary! But the pros of it outweigh the cons.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: Green!! A thick gel which spreads easily. It smells faintly of cucumber and some other herbal smell.

How it works: Massage it on your face after cleansing. It spreads easily and gets absorbed in a jiffy. I got this specifically to remove acne marks. After applying this for a week or so, I was amazed to see them reduced. It also reduced my tan. Another thing you could try is take a little product in your palm, apply water and then gently massage your face. After applying this, your face might shine. Do not fear because this gets absorbed within minutes leaving your face soft and supple. This helped me in many ways. I had acquired a face wash recently which was working fine on my face but just making my nose dry.  Weird right? So every day after washing my face I applied this on my nose and in a few days, the dryness had reduced. His also doubles up as an under eye gel. There is a marked reduction in my puffiness around my eyes.

PROS:

  • Easily absorbed
  • Reduces dryness
  • Can be used as an under-eye gel
  • Reduces blemishes
  • Skin becomes soft and clear
  • No breakouts (atleast for me)
  • Eco friendly packaging
  • Will suit all skin types
  • Can be used as a daily moisturizer

CONS:

  • Expensive for an aloevera gel
  • Tub packaging is unhygienic
  • Availability
  • Aloevera gels are transparent in colour and this is green.(which means it has some added colour)

Rating: 4/5 (I have reduced 0.5 for the price)

Do I Recommend?:
If you would like to try something for acne and puffiness, then you can buy this. But I would suggest another brand whose review will be coming up soon. I love that gel and its cheaper. I have nothing against the company or the product but I like that better.

Would I Repurchase?: No
