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

Citric acid

Sandalwood oil

Rose absolute

Marigold petals

Perfume

Gardenia extract

PACK DETAILS:

One piece is Rs. 710/-

WHERE I GOT IT:

I bought this from the LUSH store situated inside FORUM MALL (Bengaluru)

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN:

No I won't..

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%
homosalate 8%
octisalate 4%
octocrylene 2.35%
oxybenzone 5%

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..

review of "NEUTROGENA LIP BALM"

INDICATION:

Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer with SPF 15 is a lip balm, made in USA.. I have dry chapped lips which lines on my lips.. I saw this Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer lip balm in the store and thought that Neutrogena is a well know brand so let's try out the lip balm...

Warning:

For external use only. If swallowed contact a poison control center right away. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation or rash appears. Keep out of reach of children.

Action:

According to Neutrogena their lip balm delivers softens / soothes / smoothes lips and no waxy feel at all!! .... I tried it and it does everything except the lines on my lips remain as they are, I need something that also makes my lips surface smooth... While applying I did notice a weird smell but as soon as application is over, so is the smell..

Directions for Use:

Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer is packaged in the standard lip balm packaging... It's a white tube with a white cap and has a blue twisting section near the base of the cap... Twisting the blue part will raise the white lip balm...

Use as often as needed... Best is to wet lips, wipe them dry and then re apply.. Otherwise what ever dirt / foreign matter / food stains / etc on the lips will get transferred onto the lip balm also...

If you’re going to apply lipstick then I would advice you to apply a thin coat of balm wait for a while and then apply your lipstick..

Key Ingredients:

# contains a PABA-free SPF 15 sun block for added protection from the sun

review of HIMALAYA NEEM FACE PACK

On using Himalaya Neem Face Pack which happens to be an herbal Ayurveda formula, we obtain a clearer skin, controls the outbreak and re appearing of pimples... Improves skin texture.... Skin breathes which causes skin to repair it self better, firms up the skin making the skin look younger with a glow...

If you have oily skin then clay based face packs are the best solutions... I always need them in summer time the most...
I keep saying and am saying again, always due a patch test on skin 1st before going all the way..

On applying I observed a bit of burning, if you come across that then don’t be alarmed it's just the effect from the turmeric, it will pass in due course... But if the burning is not tolerable then it suggests that you are allergic or have sensitive skin, its better if you tried another product available in market...

The Antibacterial like Neem present in the Face Pack purifies skin and controls excess oil secretion, cleans the clogged pores and prevents pimples... And Turmeric removes acne-causing bacteria... Fuller's Earth (Multani Mitti) cools and soothes the skin.

Directions for Use:
Now we first clean our face then apply evenly over cleansed face and neck, avoiding the area around eyes (as it's very delicate)... Allow it to dry for 10-15 minutes or till it dries up... Remove with wet cloth/cotton swab/etc and wash the skin with cool water... Use once or twice a week... Best to use it after steaming face as the pores will open up... Then in last apply choice of moisturizer..

Ingredients are:
# Azadirachta indica (Neem, Nimba) = well known for its antibacterial properties, helps in controlling acne and pimples, and their recurrence...Its tree stem, root and bark possess astringent, tonic and anti-periodic properties.... Bark is beneficial in malarial fever... It is used for external applications in skin diseases... Has anti dandruff, antibacterial, anti viral and fungicidal properties...

# Panka (Fuller's earth, Multani Mitti) = has anti-inflammatory and cooling properties

# Curcuma longa (Turmeric, Haridra) = Possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antiseptic properties and improves complexion.


I bought the Himalaya Neem Face Pack of size 75g at Rs. 90/-

It's packed it a tube like container with a lid on the top..
The face pack has a mild soothing smell..

Available at any pharmacy / mall / beauty stores
