Khadi Jasmine Massage Oil Review

12 Replies

Hello guys,

How are you? Hope you are doing fine. Today I will review a product from Khadi. Last winter I found this productl on the leading online store and bought it.

Price and quantity:

Rs. 120 for 210 ml.

My Take:

Well, after reading the product description on the online store, I did not realize that it is not only body oil, it is also aromatic. It comes in the typical Khadi bottle, with a flip cap (which is very tight and strong unlike the bottle).

The smell of the oil is very soothing and relaxing itself; it reminds me of Swedish Spa therapy. Though, the smell of jasmine is not over powering.

All the winter I have used it daily after bath. Though on the online store, it was directed to use it either before or after bath (I prefer after). Whenever I used this body oil, for the whole day I did not feel dry skin; my skin is not super dry though. Another good thing about this oil is it does not leave skin too much oily or sticky like some of the body lotions do. It did make my skin supple and soft (like all body oils do). Only few drops will be enough to spread on the desired body part. I have used it for long 3 months and I still have more than 50% left in the bottle.

At night when I cannot sleep, I rub this oil on my palms and smell it. It relaxes my mind a lot. The aroma of the oil is what I like the most about it. Some of the herbal brand has aromatic body oils that smells like tiger balm (my elder sister reported me).

PROS:

Smells aromatic.
Gives perfect moisture to skin.
Staying power is good.
Consistency is perfect, not too heavy.
Does not leave skin too much oily or sticky.
Fair quantity.
Pretty inexpensive.
Khadi is a quite popular herbal brand (though all the khadi products are not good).

CONS:

Actually there is none for the oil. But Khadi could provide some hardy bottles.

Rating: 4.5/5

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, if you have normal skin, it will work very well (No idea about very dry skin).

Would I purchase?:

Yes, definitely.

Meera Herbal Hair Wash Powder Review

9 Replies

Happy rainy season to all of you; hope you are enjoying this lovely weather. I love getting wet in the rain, and since childhood my mother still scolds me every time I do. Anyways, I will review today a product that belongs to my experiments’ list, Meera Herbal Hair Wash Powder.

Price and quantity:

Rs. 49 for 90g.

My Take:

I always try new products for experiment. This product was listed on my favorite online shopping store. After seeing the product description, I searched about this product on Google, then I found out that it is mainly popular in the southern India, and many has tried and praised about this product. Without delaying I bought it. Since my immense hair loss period, I went totally herbal (used no harmful chemical enriched hair products since then). This claimed to be total herbal; once you open it, you will know it by its smell.

It is a quite large jar, and on the cap, it has a flip cover in one side. This flip cover helps to pour right amount, and prevents from a mess.

Well, after cracking the seal, I was very much disappointed; it was only 40% full in this fairly large jar. But also, you will only need one tablespoon of the powder to wash waist-length hair. But then the powder smells like actually mix of herbs like methi (fenugreek), amla etc, which was a relief for me. You might be wondering does this works like shampoo (I was also). Here are some pictures showing how it looks like after mixing with water.

I mix this paste with my fingers to make small bubbles in a bowl. It actually lathers and washes the hair squeaky clean (it was unexpected). One more thing, if you have oiled your hair with thick oils like castor oil or olive oil, you might want to use your daily shampoo; or you could also use this paste mixed with your daily shampoo (I did one time, it works)

After using this powder, I felt that I have done some natural treatment, because the after-effect is like how you get after using a hair pack or treatment. It cleans the hair completely and it does leave a mild smell of the powder which is basically the smell of methi/ fenugreek (not a bad thing though).

Overall, I loved this product. Now, I wish I could have known about this product before.

PROS:

Cleans completely like regular shampoo.
Contains herbal powders.
No chemicals (I hope).
Lathers well.
Though contains only 40% of the container, will go long time.
Flip cap prevents mess.
Packaging is good.
Very inexpensive.
Does what it claims.
Smell is not crappy (I have used local herbal products before; it did smell like dog poop).

CONS:

The only con is the amount of the product.

Rating:

4.5/5 (0.5 for the con)

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, if you crave for herbal shampoos or hair wash products, this is a great product.

Would I Repurchase?:

Yes, absolutely.

Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Cleanup Review

18 Replies

This particular idea of face wash, scrub and pack in one is quite fascinating, don’t you feel? Well, I thought let’s give it a try, and I did. So, today I will review Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Cleanup for you ladies.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 99 for 50 ml; Rs. 199 for 150 ml

My Take:

I am using this product approximately for over a month now, I will now share my experience with you. This cleanser comes in a fat tube. It has a flip cap, which is highly preferable. The smell of the product is very strong, very chemical type at the same time weird also.

Nivea Pure Effect Total Face Cleanup Review

The face wash or scrub or pack (don’t know, what I am supposed to call it exactly) is a thick white paste, full of tiny blue granules. I used to get confused at the beginning about how to use it. The direction says to use it as scrub first then as pack; but I don’t find it useful. So, I keep it for 3-4 minutes as pack, then I scrub and rinse. After washing my face it gives a refreshing feeling which I like about this product.

The blue granules are quite helpful as scrub material, but as a pack I don’t find it good enough. The after effect of this product is not quite amusing, it makes skin supple (like all scrubs do), and also controls oil for sometime only but other than that it does nothing for my skin (I have normal skin with T-zone oily). Though it claims, but actually does not remove spots at all.

It cleans my face pretty well; other than that I did not notice any visible effect on my skin. Overall, I can use it (until it’s over) as a scrub (though not daily) when I needed; but not as a pack because I have better face packs like Himalaya Fairness Face Pack (my Holy Grail) to treat my skin. I do not like this product because I did not see any visible effects (like oil-control, spot remover, works as a pack) on my skin as it claims.
