Yardley of London English Lavender Gentle Cleansing Face Wash Review

Hey girls and guys! Today the first review is going to be a yummy review.

Colour, Consitency & Fragrance

First, let us talk about the fragrance because it is the high light of this newly launched face wash. The fragrance is so pleasing and refreshing with a mild lavender smell. This is not going to hurt even any sensitive noses. To say about the colour and consistency, the face wash is transparent coloured (with a very light lavender tint) and the consistency is gel typed, little runny as well. A perfect fragrance and consistency for a face wash. As it is a soap free one, it doesn’t lather creamy or much but it lathers enough for a clean wash.

4.5/5

Yardley of London English Lavender Gentle Cleansing Refreshing Facial Cleanser – Texture and Colour

How it Works

This face wash spreads over my face and neck easily and lathers a decent amount. I felt a cooling sensation while working out onto my skin and it gets washed off easily. Not that squeezy, but you can feel a softness in your skin soon after you wash your face. The lingering lavender fragrance stays for a while and makes me feel refreshed. I experienced so breaks outs or other side effects while using this face wash and I would name it as a “Perfect daily facial cleanser” for normal to dry skins. I wont recommend it to oily or extremly dry skins, but as per the claim it does a perfect thing for “Normal to dry” skins.

5/5

Lakme Fruit Blast Berry Lush Fruit Energizing Face Wash Review

23 Replies

Today’s special is the review of Lakme Fruit Blast Berry Lush face wash which I have been using for past few months. It’s too late as I reviewed few other face washes from this fruit blast range already. I gave the mandarin and melon ones to my friends, so the only thing left to review is this one. (I have another mandarin one with me, may review it later). I loved the yummiest fragrance of the Lakme Fruit Blast Strawberry Facewash and it got over long before. This one also contains Strawberries, and as bonus the raspberries too, hence I am using this nowadays. Let me give a detailed review about this with my experience. Oops!! Forgot to say! Happy Valentine’s day guys and girls!!!! (Thought to do a separate post, but lazy me.. Sorry :(. Please do forgive)

Lakme Fruit Blast Berry Lush Fruit Energizing Face Wash

(With Strawberries and Raspberries)

Price: Rs.70 for 50g; Rs.125 for 100g

Shelf Life: 24 months

Usage Instructions

Squeeze a small amount into hands and work into a rich lather. Massage on wet face. Rinse thoroughly with water.

Claims of this Face Wash

Berries are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that protect the skin from damage and aging. These fruits were traditionally used to soothe sun burns and moisturise the skin.

Lakmé Berry Lush Fruit Energising Facewash is a nutrient rich blend of fresh crushed raspberries and strawberries. Known to have high doses of Vitamin C and essential antioxidants, it revives your skin and returns that healthy glow. The strawberry seeds gently scrub away dead skin cells, while the raspberry extracts rehydrate your skin, leaving it nourished, tingling fresh and smelling of berries all day long.

My Views with Ratings

The Packaging

The Lakme Fruit Blast Berry Lush face wash comes in a tube like every other face washes from this range comes, with a flip type cap. The tube is semi transparent and hence it is easy to find how much is left inside the tube. The only thing that bothered me is the cap, In the first tube I used, it was perfect and travel friendly. But when I got my second tube, the cap was too tight to open/close and hence I gave little more force to open.. Ouch.. The cap got very loose then.. Hence, I couldn’t take it anywhere and it’s not travel friendly. The flip cap should be improved in these fruit blast face washes. Other than this thing, I loved the hygienic and cute tube packaging!

Flip Type Cap

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance

The face wash is gel based and deep plum coloured with tiny strawberry seed exfoliators floating inside it (Refer below pic). The consistency is neither too thick, nor too runny and it lasts for more than a month. And it has a very yummy and mild fruit fragrance (Not sweeter than the strawberry face wash from this range though) and I loved it as it gives a fresh feel with every wash. But I doubt whether the few tiny exfoliating beads exfoliate my whole facial skin or not with a tiny squeeze. Other than this doubt, I am totally okay with this product’s CCF. And so, No more complaints about the colour, consistency or fragrance! Perfect!

Floating tiny Strawberry Seed Exfoliators

How it works on Me

I will finish this part short and sweet.

This face wash gives a cooling sensation and obviously tingles a bit too which may be okay for some people and not okay for very sensitive skins. The lathering effect is very less, it lathers only a bit when I rubbed many times in my hands. If you expect for a rich lathering face wash, this wont be your choice at all. Unlike the Strawberry face wash from this fruit blast range, it doesn’t dry out my skin much. Listen, not to the extent of no need of moisturiser, It just doesn’t dries. Doesn’t moisturises too. The stretchy feel in dry skins will be less when compared to the strawberry face wash and of course you will need a moisturiser after cleansing your face with this.Other than this, it’s perfect for everyday use with a mild fruity fragrance and gel texture. A great face wash for oily skins (May be normals too) and for dry skins, I won’t recommend this. Go for a extra nourishing one. Overall it’s a good fruit face wash.

Rating: 3.5/5 (-1 for the tingle and -0.5 for no moisturising effect)

PROS

Yummy fruit fragrance which will be a treat for strawberry and raspberry lovers.
Affordable price for the quantity.
Easily available everywhere.
The very cute gel texture with exfoliating beads which many may like.
It doesn’t give much stretchy feel (Expect dry skins). Oily skins will love it (Normal skins in winters)
Great for everyday use for a refreshing feel with fruit extracts!

CONS

Because of the cap in few packs (not all), it might not be travel friendly.
Tingling sensation may not be liked for sensitive skins.
I doubt whether the exfoliating beads work or not (Because they are less in numbers)
Stretchy feel in dry skins.
Doesn’t lather well. If you expect rich lather, this won’t be your choice.

My Recommendation: Go for it oily skins! You will love the refreshing fruit aroma in every wash. Normal skins can try this in winters. Dry skins and very sensitive skins stay away as this is not moisturising and tingles a bit too.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Will I repurchase?: Yes, in summers for the fruit fragrance. It’s not going to be my winter choice.

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash Review

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash Review

Hello Everyone!

We all know that neem is an excellent natural remedy for pimples and blemishes. I have been using neem to cure my acne for ages and it gives me out great results every time. Unlike the other acne clearing products and chemicals, neem cures pimple and acne breakouts like a magic, in a very natural way. I used to gather some neem leaves and paste them to use as a DIY acne clearing face pack before I was introduced to ready made packs. Last month, I saw a television ad about this Purifying Neem Face Wash from Himalaya Herbals which claims to prevents pimples. Hence I quickly picked this as I wanted to try this face wash due to the neem and turmeric ingredients which are very natural and skin friendly. Another reason why I wanted to try this is that I get cold If I paste neem leaves and use as my face pack in this winter as neem has cooling properties. Let me share my detailed review on Himalaya Herbals neem face wash now.

Product Description:

Soap-free herbal formula gently removes impurities and prevents pimples
Contains neem, which has antibacterial properties helps in controlling acne and pimples.
Turmeric effectively eliminates acne-causing bacteria.

Key Ingredients:

(Neem, Nimba) well known for its anti-bacterial property that kills problem causing bacteria.
(Turmeric, Haridra), Effectively controls acne and pimples.

Usage Directions:

Moisten face, apply required quantity of Purifying Neem Face Wash and gently work up lather with circular motion. Wash off with clean water and pat dry. Use twice daily.

Price and Quantity:
Available in 15ml, 75ml and 200ml packs but I picked the 15ml trial pack to try it 🙂 It costs only Rs.15

My Experience with Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash

Packaging: The face wash comes is packed in a transparent tube with a small green screw cap. The bigger packs come with a flip type one which is a bit flimsy 🙁 Once I travelled with this and ended up in getting face wash all over my hand bag.

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance: It has a gel like translucent consistency which is light green in color and has a light herbal smell. The fragrance is not sweet or fruity but I loved the mild natural herbal smell which doesn’t bother me at all.

How it works: I started using this face wash 2 weeks back and since then, I did not experience any acne breakouts at all. It really vanished my pimples up to a great extent and prevented them from coming back. This face wash definitely doesn’t produce rich creamy lather, but a small quantity was enough to wash my face and neck. My normal-oily skin did not feel any stretchy or tight after washing my face. It made my skin instantly clean, clear and soft without stripping the natural moisture. Even though it doesn’t dry out my normal-oily skin, I won’t recommend this face wash for dry skinned people. This will suit the ones who have normal, oily and acne prone skin in all the seasons well. Overall, I love this face wash for the price, the neem ingredients and the results it give out 🙂 I recommended this face wash to my mom and she loves it too.

Pros

Affordable, worth buying and easily available everywhere.
This face wash comes in a transparent tube, so that it would be easy to find out how much is left in the tube.
Even though the smell is not sweet, it has a natural herbal flavor which made me feel like I am not using any harsh chemical over my skin :
Prevents pimples and cures acne breakouts within few days of usage.
No side effects; save to use even on sensitive skin types
It doesn’t dry out my normal-oily skin at all.
It faded out the acne scars and also cleared my blackheads to an extent with regular use.

Cons

The flip cap is flimsy and thus the product is not travel friendly
I have read different reviews on this face wash. It works for some and doesn’t work for others.
Not for the dry skinned beauties out there

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4/5

Recommendation: Using neem for pimples has been in practice since ages among Indian women. This face wash which contains neem really helped in clearing out my pimples up to a good extent and hence, I highly recommend this product.

Would I Repurchase?: Why not? I will 🙂
