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.

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.

PROS:

  • Cleans face.
  • Granules are good for scrubbing.
  • Controls oil (for some time only).
  • Fair amount.
  • Inexpensive.
  • Gives a fresh feeling.
  • Tube packaging with flip cap is good.

CONS:

  • Full of chemicals (and claims it is mild formula!).
  • Not really works as pack.
  • Does not reduce spots.
  • Does not hold the oil-control effect more than 1 or 2 hours.
  • Contains Paraben.
  • Smells weird like toothpaste.

 

Rating: 2/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

No . If you must need a scrub, there are lot better scrubs available.

 

Would I repurchase?:

I don’t think so.

Nature’s Essence Magic Papaya Facial Kit Review, Swatches and Photos

15 Replies

Hello Girls!

This is my first post on MABH and I am very excited. Thank you so much Lancy for giving me this opportunity. Today I am going to review a facial kit.  I had ordered this kit online. It was a Combo offer. I had got Nature’s essence Manicure Pedicure Kit as well which I will review later.

I just love facials. But who has got a time nowadays to go to beauty parlors due to hectic work schedule. Since it was very affordable I didn’t waste time and ordered it quickly. So here is my review.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.750 for 425 g

 

My Experience:

I quiet like the packaging which contains the kit. The product comes in orange tubs which contains all ingredients and directions. I found it little bit unhygienic because every time you have to scoop out the creams with your hand.

My experience with this facial kit was not so good. I liked the cleansing cream. It cleansed my skin very well. I have combination skin and it didn’t make my skin dry.

Cleansing Cream:

I mixed the scrub powder in rose water since I didn’t have the toner. As per the instructions, I started massaging it over  my face in circular motion for 5 minutes. I washed it off after that. I didn’t find any great difference but my skin appeared little smoother.

Now the third step Anti Blemish cream. I massaged my face with this cream for 15 minutes. But it gets dry after 2 minutes. So I have to apply it 3 to 4 times for this massage. I didn’t find any difference after using this cream. I was very disappointed. But still I had to finish the last step.

Anti Blemish Cream:

It is a ready to use face pack. You don’t have to mix anything. I applied it on wet face and kept it for 15 minutes. There was a slight tingling sensation but it didn’t last for more than 5 minutes. I washed it off after 15 minutes. My skin felt little bit stretchy but there was a little bit glow on my face.

Face Pack:

This entire process took one and half hour for me and the effect lasted only for two days. I can say it is an average product.

PROS:

  • I liked the quantity. I have used this kit for 4 to 5 times and still half of the product is left
  • It didn’t break me out
  • It gives a little bit glow
  • My skin appeared very much smoother after the application
  • It has got a mild flowery fragrance
  • I even got a Magic De pigmentation oil free with this kit

CONS:

  • This facial kit made my skin little bit dry. I don’t think so it will suit dry skin.
  • The glow lasted for only 2 days.
  • The anti blemish cream didn’t work on my skin
  • I found this srub thing little bit messy. Every time you have to take out the scrub powder, mix it with the toner and then you have to use. They should have provided a ready to use scrub
  • Feels little bit unhygienic as every time you have to scoop out the product with your hand

My Recommendation:

A big nooooooooooo from me. In fact I am trying to finish it as early as possible so that I can try the new one!

Mud Mango Tan Removal Face Pack at Home – Do It Yourself

10 Replies

Hello everyone!

Mangoes! Do you love em? I had a huge craze for mangoes when I was a kid. I used to eat mango fruits with my grandpa every other day in mango season. Somehow, I don’t like eating mangoes nowadays for unknown reason. But I still love drinking mango juices and drinks. I love its delicious sweet flavored smell.

While surfing the net, I came across few natural beauty benefits of mangoes and suddenly got a thought why not to make my own face pack with mango? This Do It Yourself Mango Face Pack recipe is a result of my thought! 🙂 And I am happy that it really helped removing my facial tan.


Things You Will Need:

  • 1 Ripen Mango Fruit
  • Multani Mitti or Fullers Earth
  • A Small Bowl
  • A Clean Spoon
  • Cold Cream (Optional)

How to Make?:

Step 1: Take a small bowl and make sure it is clean. Be ready with the other ingredients as well. Make sure that the mango fruit you use  in this homemade de tanning face pack recipe is in good condition, and moreover well ripen.

Step 2: Cut the mango into few moderately big pieces and take one slice from that. Eat the other ones 😀 Now scoop the pulp from the slice with the help of your spoon. Collect it in the bowl.

Step 3: Mash the mango pulp to puree with your spoon. If your spoon doesn’t help, get the help of a fork. Mash it well as shown in the picture below. This mango puree is the key ingredient of our tan removal face pack.

Step 4: After you made the mango puree, put it 1 teaspoon of fullers earth. If you don’t have fullers earth, use any clay/mud based face pack. I have used the Himalaya Herbals Mud Face Pack here. You can also use besan in case if you don’t have both.

Step 5: Blend both the mango puree and clay/mud well with the spoon until they turn smooth and creamy.

Step 6: This step is optional but a must for dry skinned women. Add a tiny bit of cold cream or any other heavy moisturizing cream to the prepared anti tan mango face pack. Only a tiny winy bit, as shown in the pic. This is to balance the natural moisture of your skin. If you don’t have cold cream, go for fresh milk cream or two drops of olive oil.

Step 7: This is the final blend. Blend all the ingredients together well with the spoon and store this tan removal face pack in refrigerator for a cooling, pore tightening effect. If you feel that you might catch cold, then don’t refrigerate this mango pack.

How to Use?: Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser and pat dry. Using your face pack brush or your clean fingers, smooth this creamy mango mud face pack over your facial skin. Cover your neck and ears too. Leave this mango pack for 10-15 minutes and not more than that as it is a clay based face pack. Wash off with warm water followed by a final cold water rinse. Towel dry and moisturize skin.

Results: Mangoes contain abundant amount of vitamin A and anti oxidants which are meant for younger beautiful skin. Along with the clay benefits, this DIY Mud Mango Tan Removal face pack effectively removes the epidermal sun tan with regular usage. This mango face mask also minimizes the pores and softens skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Use this tan removal face pack for at least thrice a week for two weeks to notice results.

Using a high SPF sunscreen whenever you step out is a must too, to notice visible lightening effects on skin. You can store this mango face pack in refrigerator for 2-3 days. And its best to use this face pack after returning home from school/college/work. This mango face pack also helped me with calming down the acne eruptions along with tan removal 🙂
