Review for Vicco Turmeric Skin Cream

PROS

"Easy to carry

Rich texture

Benefits of turmeric

No chemicals"

CONS

none

I have used a number of international brands in skin care and to be honest, the market has become monotonous in terms of how they market the products and the actual results. Some of the products have worked out fine and have given me good results but shelling out that kind of money for a skin cream just seems painful. A recent talk with a friend led me to buy Vicco Turmeric cream. So I decided to give it a try to see if Vicco still got it right. And it has definitely not disappointed me.The texture is still consistent and I guess it's more firm than the other creams available. I have very oily skin, so it works great when you use a small amount of the cream on your face to get rid of the oily feeling but use a generous amount and will result in your face looking even oilier than what it usually is. Works fantastic on cuts and cracked heels and the turmeric composition in the cream works! In a market where heavy chemical composition in creams is a norm, Vicco Turmeric cream is a pleasant change which is needed.

Review for Dabur Amla Hair Oil

PROS

Revives natural hair color

Dabur amla hair oil penetrates and nourishes the scalp. It makes the hair thick and strong. Perfect for dry scalp. The amla present in the oil smoothens and moisturises the hair. It has very good smell. It comes in user friendly pack and is easily available in the market. Moreover, it should not be weighty on my scalp. Otherwise, price-wise this hair oil is okay. And can be used just only for mental satisfaction. Otherwise, no hair shine, no hair growth, nor any increase in the thickness of my hair. Totally unhappy and dissatisfied. Hence, only 2 out of 5 stars. I have been using this oil since two decades now. Whenever I switch to some other hair oil I see myself coming back to this oil. It works amazingly well if you heat it up a little bit. Using with my khadi shampoo has been the best combination ever. The only thing I don't like the smell of it. Can be a little stinky. Amla is rich in vitamin C it stimulates hair growth and makes hair shiny, long and lustrous, recommend this product The strong fragrance is a huge drawback for me.

Review for Vedix – Customized Hair Growth Solution

PROS

Approved by ayurvedic doctors

Like my facial skin, my hair scalp is also very oily. I came to know of Vedix recently through a friend who claimed excellent results and went through their questionnaire as it gives a customized solution to hair problems. I always prefer natural & herbal products and Vedix seemed to be the right one. What was analyzed through this survey about my hair was that I need to balance the Pitta-Kapha doshas with right combination of herbs and to use a combination of herbal extracts to strengthen my hair roots & promote new hair growth. Vedix recommended a daily hair care regimen using customized oil, a hair growth and repair serum, and a non-damaging shampoo. It’s been sometime I have been using these and I have felt the amount of hair fall has reduced to a certain extent. I have been receiving lot of compliments for the texture & silkiness which I have regained back. I am still waiting for more positive results when my hair fall will be zero. I had chosen the 3 months plan as it was cost effective and I knew that ayurvedic products might take some time to show results. But Vedix made me more than happy. I started seeing results in the first month of usage itself. I’m not even kidding when I say that my hair fall reduced by 50% in the first month itself!

Works great

Review for L’Oreal Paris Age 20+ Skin Perfect Cream UV Filters

I double this cream as a sunscreen along with using it as a day cream. It takes care of my fine lines and gives me a firmer skin. I love this

Review for Lakme 9 To 5 Complexion Care CC Cream

My skin is very sensitive and dry. I am always very sceptical before I try out anything. But then Lakme is such a brand that has lived with me through my rough days. This CC cream hasn’t given me any allergy or rashes yet. Smell wise it is just ok, not strong. The smell and the colour I felt fades away just too soon. I like this CC cream for the fact that it does not need a lot of effort to apply and blend. It’s very easy to apply. No makeup required for just a casual outing. The cream does the finish very well.

Affordable aloe vera gel

4.6/5

Review for Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel

The price of the Patanjali Aloe-Vera Gel is Rs.75 for 150ml and you can buy it from Patanjali outlets and also online from any of the leading online stores. You also get or in the super markets or the pharmacies. For the cost that the gel comes for you will love it. You hardly seem to get anything at the said cost in the today’s world of inflation. Worth a try. Aloe vera is good for everything. Just know what and when you need it. Use it accordingly!! You will not be disappointed. A lot of difference will be visible. So many benefits and very less cons to be spoken off. Why wouldn’t you want to try it. If you still haven’t, go ahead, go and gets your Aloe vera gel.

Better oils are available in the market

3.5/5

Review for Parachute Coconut Oil

Generically I feel the benefits of Almonds and herbs are much more than coconut. Almonds make the hair looks more shiny and the oil is definitely stick free. It does not give you the oily look. The herbs which are induced in ayurvedic oils smoothen the roughness and also nourish the scalp and damaged hair. The benefits when in comparison to the coconut oil are way too many. The oil does not freeze. The consistency is great. You know there is no scope for impurities. And definitely no chemicals. Packing wise also the other oils have done a better job. With so many good things around please ask yourself if you would still want the same old formula for long and healthy hair!! Explore more people.

4.8/5

Review for Indulekha Bringha Hair Oil

Indulekha Bringa hair oil contains Amla, Virgin coconut oil, Bhringraj, Svetakutaja, Kumari, Draksha, Amrita, Yashti, Brahmi and Nimba. All these are ment to nourish and help the hair grow. The oil is prepared from the extracts of Bhringraj and Svetakutaja. All these ingredients stimulate hair growth. The benefits of natural ingredients is very high. Any day I would want to use natural herbs of products. Who wants chemicals. Who likes them. This is the best in the market for hair fall control and also helps for hair growth. The roots are truly nourished. A healthy scalp will lead to good hair quality.

Adds brightness

4.5/5

Review for SkinKraft – Customized Skin Care Regimen

I love them!! The lightening cream gives the perfect combination of glow to the dull face and brightness. The tired and dull looking face needs that glow after a hard-working day. Follow the steps and see the changes. Miracles do happen. The products do not have any side effects so I’m going to use as long as I can.

Full coverage but uncomfortable

3.5/5

Review for Clinique Even Better Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15

PROS

Paraben-free

Has SPF

Full coverage

Great packaging

Good consistency

CONS

Clogs pores

Feels heavy

Uncomfortable

I cannot make up my mind about this product. Some features of this foundation are commendable and some I just cannot stand. It has great coverage. Only a little product covers up every imperfection on the face and doesn’t appear cakey or patchy. But, after a while, this foundation feels so heavy on the skin and makes me conscious. Although it doesn’t show, it feels so uncomfortable that I don’t feel like leaving it on my skin. It’s just weird.

What skin type does it even suit?

Review for NYX Professional Makeup Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation

PROS

Affordable

Good consistency

Great shade range

CONS

Not long-lasting

Not suitable for dry/oily skin

Settles into fine lines and maximizes pores

My sister owns this product, and she has oily skin. She loves the consistency, but apparently, for her skin type, the foundation doesn’t last very long. I got the same foundation hoping it will suit me better because I have dry skin. But, no!

It settles into fine lines, accentuates dry patches on the face and looks weirdly cakey. No other foundation has looked so weird on my face. I tried using a heavy moisture base with primer, but the results just didn’t improve. I really wonder what skin type this foundation really suits.

Bad color pay-off

Review for Maybelline New York The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

PROS

Affordable

CONS

Bad color pay-off

I love Maybelline. The brand has impressive products, and I thought this product is also going to be amazing. I got the palette and tried swatching it on my hand. 3 to 4 swipes also wouldn’t show the color on my skin. Where is the pigmentation? The ‘intense black’ eyeshadow also looks like a dull grey. Not a fan.

Love Maybelline New York Superstay 24 Color 2 Step Lipstick

Transfer-proof

Pretty shades

I love sticking with the shades I love. The shade I bought from this collection is Absolute Taupe 230 and I absolutely love it. This lipstick is perfect and there is nothing I do not like about it. Good job Maybelline!

Good for occasional spot concealing

3/5

Review for NYX Professional Makeup HD Photogenic Concealer Wand

PROS

Inexpensive

Nice packaging

Easy, precise application

CONS

Very light coverage

I never used this concealer until I ran out of the one I usually do. I bought this one cause the other one was not in stock. It’s not very expensive, and I didn’t mind giving it a try. I have severe dark circles (the reason why I can never go without a concealer) and dark spots. But, this concealer only offers light coverage. It kind of accentuated my dark circles with a whitish cast. And, it does a fine job for dark spots. I think I will just go back to the one I always use.

Great for strengthening and thickening

5/5

The oil is amazing. My hair has really become black, shiny and long. Hair used to be dry but after using this oil, it is bouncy. I receive many compliments.
