review of a LUSH product called "AQUA MIRABILIS"

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT:

According to LUSH "Aqua Mirabilis" is a water soluble body buffer in shape of a bar, it can be used very much like soap itself... It exfoliates the skin leaving it soft...

According to me it looks like square beiges colored bar with tiny brown colored grains in it (ground almonds)... I did notice that it contained butter consistency which felt nice later on for my skin....

But the main part that bothered me was in the starting itself... Since the bar had ground almond I just could not rub the bar on my skin I could feel the ground almond tips just scratching my skin.. So I though ok fine let's try it with lesser hand pressure but alas even that did not help me...And it did not end their, after the almond where in water contact with in few sec's they would just become too soggy.. Due to which I don't think it actually exfoliated my skin in any way...

So for those of you all who like intense exfoliation or those with thick skin's this is just the product for you..

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Wet the body and just take the bar and use it as a regular soap...

Then simply rinse off with water..

KEY INGREDIENTS:

Coco butter

Apricot kernel oil

Sodium bicarbonate

Ground almond shells

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN:

review of "LOTUS SAFE SUN DeTAN FACE PACK"

LOTUS HERBALS DE TAN AFTER SUN FACE PACK claims to be an exclusive formula which helps remove tanning on the skin / other forms of sun damage... Minimizes and Reverses Sun induced damage.... And also gives a radiant, fair and healthy glow to the skin.

This is a light pinkish colored mask with a thick clay like consistency... The detan cream comes in a big orange tube which makes it convenient to use.. Also great from the hygiene point of view...

I have combination skin and finding a product is difficult cos of my combination skin / sensitive skin / I break out if the product does not suit me... When I tried this product my skin did not go through any problem.. It felt nice after using it...


Directions for Use:
*I have tried different ways and the best effective method is as follows...
*Cleans face the way you usually do
*Scrub your face with face scrubber
*Steam face for 15Min's or till you start to sweat in face region
*Take towel and dab face dry (since you have taken steam your pores have opened
up and now what ever you apply on face will get absorbed a bit more then usual) *Apply De tan on face / neck (do not apply around eyes) (You can take it on the
fingers and directly apply it on your face)
*Relax till the pack completely dries ( can apply cucumber / potato slice or place
soaked tea bags on eye lids)
*Wash face with room temperature or slightly cooler water (the contact of cold
water with skin makes the pores close up again)
*Now apply choice of face cream, etc..
*Can use this once a week...

review of "NEUTROGENA AGE SHIELD SUN BLOCK with SPF30"

NEUTROGENA AGE SHIELD SUN BLOCK with SPF30ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY:
1. Advance sunscreens technology shields skin in 6 layers deep from the skin aging UVA rays.
2. Powerful blend of anti-oxidants combat free radicals that accelerate signs of aging.
3. Oil - free, non greasy feel.
4. Advanced broad spectrum UVA/UVB.
5. #1 dermatologist recommended sun care
6. Water proof, sweat proof. resists rub off..

ACCORDING TO ME: It fragrance-free, the sunscreen definitely has the UVA range covered... Includes several antioxidants in stable packaging... The initially creamy application dries to a soft matte finish without a hint of greasiness.... It's a texture that someone with normal to very oily skin will love, and is suitable for use under makeup.... Its light weight.. Comes in a tube applicator, which is hygienic (but its difficult to open the cap when hands are wet as sufficient grip is not their)..
The other only fall back is that it reacted with the skin on my face and I obtained bumps on my face which looked like a break out of pimples... Me like a dodo, I just forgot that it might be due to the sunblock and started freaking out cause it had never reached to such a break out extent...
Like in 1 out of 10 the product wont work.. Unfortunately I'm the odd ball...
But I still use for the rest of my body and its really helping in the tanning department :-) ...


USAGE DIRECTION: Apply liberally 15 - 30 Min's before sun exposure. Reapply after swimming, towel drying, or extended sun exposure.

PACK DETAILS: 4 fl oz (118 ml)

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Avobenzonr 3%

WHERE I BOUGHT MINE / WHERE ITS AVAILABLE: I got mine from Star Bazaar mall situated in koramangala (Bengaluru)... Its available in all malls and pharmacy shops..
