Hi MABHians,
This is Gowmi finished my MBA in human resource last July and back to home sweet home. Thank you Lancy for your lovely chance to share my review in MABH. I am up here with my first review today so advance apologizes if I do any mistakes, kindly forgive me 🙂
I am using contact lenses for past 4 years and recently I got severe viral infection in eyes. Unluckily the low brand contact lenses solution which I bought 2 months back gave me the viral infection. When I consulted my doctor, he recommended changing my contact lenses and especially the contact lenses solution. I wondered what a change in lens solution would possibly do! But I was totally wrong, lens solution plays a major role in protecting our delicate eyes and contact lenses. So as per my doctor prescription I bought Bausch + Lomb New BioTrue Multi-Purpose solution. Additionally I got this 60 ml biotrue solution as a trail pack with my Bausch Lomb contact lenses. This solution works great and keeps my lenses germ free totally. So here is the complete review of my New BioTrue multi-purpose Solution.

 

Product Description:
Wearing contact lenses, especially in a world of less sleep and more computer use, makes it more challenging for eyes to stay comfortable and healthy. To care for your lenses and your eyes, a lens care solution that works like your eyes was created. Biotrue multi-purpose solution moistens in a way your eyes do as it in pH balanced to match healthy tears. Biotrue multi-purpose solution helps prevent certain tear proteins from denaturing for clean lenses and fights germs for healthy wear.

Price and Quantity: Rs. 155 for 120 ml.

My Experience with Bausch & Lomb New Biotrue Multi Purpose Solution:

Packaging: This product comes with a  flip-flop cap and thus it is very easy and hygenic to use; travel friendly too. I have no complaints about the packaging.

Color, Consistency and Fragrance: This solution is transparent (like water) in nature and has a water like consistency too. Since it’s a contact lenses solution I couldn’t find any fragrance in it.

How it works: Once in a week I will change the lens solution from my lens case. After this Biotrue solution I feel my lenses are so delicate and soft to use. My lenses are germs free ultimately and zero harmful to eyes. This bottle ranges from 120 ml onwards, so it’s easy to take my solution bottle where ever I travel. I use limited amount of solution in the lens case and I use little for cleansing whenever I wear. This 120 ml bottle lasts for about 27 to 30 days. Best thing about the solution is, it softens the contact lenses, disinfects and cleans it. All processes are together done by this solution and also when I wear it, my eyes are absolutely tear free.

Pros:

• Absolutely tear free while wearing the lenses.
• Baush+lomb is one of the best trusted brand for contact lenses solution
• Keeps lenses protein-free
• Keeps lenses germs-free
• Softens the contact lenses, disinfects and cleans it
• Multi purpose solution which can be used to cleanse the lenses when we wear
• Protects including silicone hydro gel lenses

Cons:

• I couldn’t find any con with this biotrue solution. Sorry 🙂

Makeup and Beauty Home: 5/5 (absolutely loving it).

Recommendation: Yes. I highly recommend it.

Would I Repurchase?: Obviously I will repurchase every month.

Eyes are the most sensitive organ in our body. They are very delicate. Eyes are mirrors of our personality. They are so expressive. Eyes show the early signs of aging. Wrinkles and puffiness may develop if we don’t take proper care of it. We must use quality eye care products. Many of you would have been blessed with stunning eyes; for others it is achievable. Little care and pampering can keep your eyes as beautiful as possible. We must ensure that we are not neglecting our eyes. The tissues surrounding the face is different from rest of the face. It is 5-6 times thinner. Soothe sore, tired eyes with these tips.

• While choosing eye care and eye make-up products make sure that they are nontoxic and safe for use on eyes. We must make healthy choices. When it comes to eyes we must never choose a product based on its marketing.

• Mineral make up is best for summers. We must keep our eyes clean and avoid products that result in infections.

• Try to keep your eyes clean.

• Switch to hypo allergic products.

• Before buying a product read the complete ingredients list carefully. Stay away from products with ingredients like parabens, talc, and color additives like kohl, silicates and polymers.

• Eyes have a fragile nature. Don’t rub them too hard.

• Don’t buy any thick or strong creams for the eye. Only a mustard sized amount is enough for the eyes. Apply in dabs. Less is always more when it comes to eyes.

• Many of us will be using concealers, illuminators etc. for the eyes. Always remember to use an eye make-up remover before going to the bed at night. No traces of make-up should be left.

• Try to give a light massage to the eyes. Take olive oil in ring finger of left and right hands and massage in semi-circular movements. Don’t apply more pressure, be gentle.

• Everyday morning and night wash your eyes with a splash of water. They will be healthier.

• Use eye compresses. Simply take a piece of cotton pad and moisten it with the milk/rose water/tea water. Put it on your eyes and wait for 5-8 minutes. Apply a moisturizing eye cream of your choice. This will prevent inflammation of eyes.

• Eat right, wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from pollution.

• Sleep well so the blood circulation under your eyes improves. Your eyes need rest.

• Opt for a good vitamin E eye cream. Retinols can remove discolorations.

• Choose an eye product according to your specific needs and those which are specially formulated for the eye.

• Spend some time before the mirror concentrating on your eyes. Analyze yourselves what changes you need to bring to your eyes.

• Refrigerate your eye cream and use it cold. It works the best this way.

• Cucumbers can cool and refresh the eyes. Keep two round pieces of cucumber on your eyes for 15 min and relax. Those with dark eyes can use potato slices too.

• Apply oil to your eyes brows and eye lashes so that it will get lubrication and grows well.  Shape your eyebrows.

• Try to use natural products. Olive oil can also be used to remove make up.

Aloe Vera has a proven track of records for its benefits. It is a world renowned plant and is used as a part of beauty regime. It is also called as the lily of dessert. Due to lack of proper sleep I developed dark circles under my eyes. I was in need of a product which could help me reduce the same. I used to extract fresh aloe juice and apply to my dark circles, but since my plant dried up I bought the Banjaras aloe Vera under eye gel. Today I am going to review the Banjaras aloe Vera under eye gel. Go ahead!

Price and quantity:

Rs 120 for 175 grams

My Experience with this Product:

Packaging:  It comes in a see through tub with a green screw cap. It has a label with pictures of aloe Vera.

Colour, Consistency & fragrance: It doesn’t have any colour. It is a transparent gel and has strong a weird smell than the aloe plant. I doubt the presence of chemicals as the shelf life is 3 years. It has a medium consistency.

How it works: It works well. It gets easily absorbed into the skin. Pea sized amount is enough for the whole face. It gives a cooling sensation when applied. It gives light moisturisation to the skin and soothes my tired puffy eyes as well. It is decently priced and doesn’t make our face oily i.e. no shiny layer. It is like  water and spreads quickly on my face. It gives a glow to my face as it is a gel. (I am applying this to my face as well). It soothes any rashes, burns or redness caused by threading and waxing. It is not sticky and light weighted, overall a good product for non-sticky product lovers and oily skinned people.

Swatch:

Pros:

•     Decently priced
•     Little goes a long way
•     Soothing, cooling and relaxing
•     Easy absorption by skin
•     Serves multiple purposes
•     Goodness of aloe and green tea
•     Reduces puffiness of eyes

Cons:

•     No ingredients mentioned
•     Tub packaging is unhygienic
•     Packaging is not travel friendly. It is bulky and difficult to carry.

My Rating: 4/5

Recommendation:

I recommend this product especially for summers.it suits oily and sensitive skin. Dry skin may need more moisturizing than this. It can be applied by everyone for dark circles.

Would I Repurchase:

Yes, until I get a new aloe plant. Fresh juice of aloe plant is better than this product. Those who don’t have it can try this.
