Yardley English Rose Luxurious Facial Foam Review

6 Replies

by Juthika

Hi friends!
I am back with my second review and this time it is a luxurious facial foam from Yardley London. Till some time back I had known Yardley London only for their perfumed sprays, a beautiful actress carrying it everywhere and calling it my Yardley in the commercial that everyone of us must have seen. So when I got to see their range of facial foam I got happy as I recalled that television commercial and I wanted to buy it and flaunt it like her. Silly me!

Product Description:

This anti oxidant packed energizing face wash cleanses intensively to remove deep – seated impurities and oiliness. The citrus extracts of grapefruit refresh and balance the skin to make it glowing and toned. Leaving it clean, revitalized and sensuously fragrant with Yardley’s romantic English rose. For combination to oily skin.


Ingredients:



Price and quantity: 

Rs. 70 for 50 gm

Shelf Life:

Best before 24 months from the date of manufacture.

My Take on Yardley English Rose Luxurious Facial Foam:

First of all girls this is my daughter’s Holy Grail face wash and let me tell you she has combination skin which gets oily in summers and dry in winters but her oily T-zone has no respite in any season. She keeps looking for face washes made for her skin type but we all know most companies make products suited for oily, normal or dry skin types.

Its so difficult for combination skinned beauties to decide whether to opt for the products formulated for dry skin or for the oily ones as they always lay in between. So what caught her attention was the tagline combination to oily skin. She was super happy to have found this.

The consistency of Yardley London is like a face cream not runny at all. It comes packed in a classy tube making extraction hygienic as well as easy and also it does not let you waste the facial foam. As per directions one needs to moisten face and squeeze a little amount onto palm and it is to be massaged gently over face and neck and then washed off and pat dry.

Trust me the quantity required is so less that in the picture where I have shown how this facial foam looks like, that amount will be enough to clean your whole face twice. It foams very little which may disappoint some of you and after washing off it does not make the skin stretchy at all. Its formulated for deep cleansing and does its job very effectively. Lazy people like me might even forget that it needs to be followed up with a moisturizer as it does not make the skin dry as I said before. And yes before I forget it smells like roses. How much we love those red flowers!

To sum up with the review one word would do justice here and that’s – excellent  because it does what its supposed to do and has no false claims too. This is a good face wash if you want that matt look on your face for 5-6 hours provided it is followed with a water based moisturizer.

Why I like this Face Wash?:

  • Cleanses really well
  • Very reasonable price
  • A little goes a long way; one tube will last 2 months or even more
  • Separate variant available for dry skinned people
  • No stretchy feeling
  • No extra effort required to wash it off.
  • No leakage and easy to carry around
  • Smells like roses
  • Easily available

Why I don’t like this Face Wash?:

  • Does not foam much
  • Don’t know if it can remove water proof make up

MABH Rating: 4.9/5 (-1 for nothing is perfect you know )

Final Recommendation:

Yes I would definitely recommend this to everyone with combination to oily skin to get that oil free face for hours and fits into your budget too. Hope you find my review helpful. Thank you for reading!

Nomarks Anti Marks Fairness Cream for Dry Skin Review

by Juthika

Hello friends!
This is my first post on MABH and I am very excited to do this. To start with, I am Juthika from Chandigarh. I am a homemaker as well as a proud mother of a college going girl. I love make up and keep experimenting with beauty products along with my daughter, thank god I have a daughter! Today I will be reviewing Nomarks cream for dry skin which many of you might have used or will be using in the future. So here goes on my review.

Product Description:

Herbal anti bacterials, micronutrients and anti oxidants(including natural vitamin E) in Nomarks prevent and diminish pimples, pimple marks, under eye dark circles, blemishes ,hyper pigmentation and minor cuts/burn marks. Nomarks also contains sunscreen and fairness factors to give a fair, blemish free glowing skin.

Shelf Life:

Best before 3 years of manufacturing.

My Take on Nomarks Anti Marks Fairness Cream:

To start with this review let me tell you guys that I have normal to dry skin with some freckles and slight pigmentation on the extreme sides of my cheek bones. I have been using Nomarks cream for the last two years and keep buying it again and again without fail. It comes in a small plastic tube making it easy to carry as well as take the product out.

The cream is beige in colour with a very creamy consistency which is easy to blend. Trust me its like a thick moisturizer and not like other creams which needs to be rubbed vigorously onto the skin. Once applied it hydrates the skin very effectively and does not leave behind any whitish residue like other creams do. One more good thing about this cream is that it does not make me sweat profusely after using  it. And yes how can I forget its divine smell!

Now coming to the claims made by the company, it actually works on the spots. With regular application of this cream my pigmentation got lightened to a large extent and some of my freckles vanished away too but one needs patience as it takes time. I got pigmentation as I never bothered to use sun protection so it was as an external affair. If anyone has pigmentation due to some internal illness then I don’t know how far this product will work. Also I don’t have dark circles so I don’t know if it would be able to remove them.

In all, this cream nourishes my skin, keeping it soft and supple and removes spots gradually. However it does not do anything to stubborn marks which may be a little older than the others. I have been using this as a day and night cream for a long time and will keep doing so as this suits my skin very well.

Why I like this Cream?:

  • Extremely hydrating for dry skin.
  • Helps to fade freckles, blemishes and pigmentation.
  • Easy to carry as it can be slipped into the tiniest of hand bags.
  • Easy to blend into the skin
  • Quick absorbing
  • No whitish cast
  • Does not make me sweat profusely unlike other creams
  • Packaging is such that there is no wastage of the product
  • Suitable for all seasons
  • Does not break out the skin
  • Heals dry patches on skin
  • Its an ayurvedic cream so no side effects
  • Easily available
  • Fits into the budget of teenagers
  • Separate cream available for oily and normal skinned beauties too
  • Got a facewash free along with this.
  • Good as a daily day and night cream.

Why I don’t like this Cream?:

  • No fairness is acquired as claimed by the company
  • Extremely dry skinned girls may need reapplication in a few hours
  • Smell may bother some of you but I like it
  • Wish they had added some SPF to this.
  • Does not work on stubborn marks

MABH Rating: 4.5/5

My Recommendation:

Yes I would definitely recommend this to everyone with dry skin as it improves the texture of skin over time and fits into your budget too. Hope you find my review helpful. Thank you for reading.
