Revayur Aroma Plus Day and Night Moisturizer Review

3 Replies

Hello everyone,

Summer, autumn, winter or spring; Dry, normal, combination or oily; Young or old; Big or small. We all need moisturizers. Don’t we? Also in summers? Apparently yes! I run away from all kinds of creams and lotions in summers even sunscreens but of late having learnt the benefits of religiously moisturizing the skin in all climates I had to do some research to find one that suited me in Chennai’s summers. I found one in RevAyur Aroma Plus Day & Night Moisturizer which I am reviewing here.

Claims of this Moisturizer:

The following are the claims that the company makes about this product:

  • Aloe and lotus extract moisturize dehydrated skin.
  • Leaves skin feeling nourished and revitalized.
  • Protects, soothes and calms skin.
  • Light enough for daily use.
  • Formulated for al skin types.

Price & Quantity: 

Rs 75 for 75 g

Key Ingredients: 

Aloe juise, lotus flower extract, base, GMS, light liquid paraffin, stearic acid, cetyl alcohol, IPM, silicon oil, dimethicone, caprylic triglyceride, BHT, glycerin, triethanolamine, fragrance, color, methyl paraben, propyl paraben.

Usage Directions: 

Apply gently on clean skin daily.

Shelf Life: 

24 months from month of manufacture

My Experience with Revayur Aroma Plus Day and Night Moisturizer:

The moisturizer comes in a plastic tube with a flip cap. It looks pretty sturdy for travel as well. It is not too messy either.

It comes in a light pink color and has a typical lotion like consistency and smell to it. The smell does stay on for quite a while post application. Sensitive noses wont have too much of an issue with it though. It is light and absorbs well into the skin within a few mins of application. The texture too is typical of any lotion.

This was my first product from this brand and I was pretty open minded about it. I liked the fact that it said day & night moisturizer and that sold me this product right away. I had been using my Vaseline cocoa glow lotion during the winter months last year and I found it pretty heavy for the summers here. So, that is when my hunt for a light weight yet good moisturizer began. And, it ended with this.

I am very happy with the way this lotion has been working for me. I have pretty dry skin all over. It gives good but light moisturisation; Perfect for the siummers. It gets easily absorbed into the skin though leaving it a little oily for a few secs and then it perfectly blends into the skin. It is perfect for both day and night time usage though I restrict it to only bed time routine. I cannot handle any thing but a sunscreen during the day here in Chennai. However, my first tube was more cream like and this one is more lotion like. I wonder why??

PROS of Revayur Day and Night Moisturizer:

  • Affordable
  • Light weight
  • Mild fragrance
  • Is easily absorbed into the skin
  • Travel friendly
  • Not messy
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Sticks to its claims

CONS of Revayur Day and Night Moisturizer:

  • Availabilty
  • Difference in textures in my two purchases
  • Oily skin might have issues
  • Contains parabens
  • No SPF 🙁

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.

Maybelline Clearglow BB Cream Natural Review, Swatches and Photos

20 Replies

I loved the concept of BB Cream/Stick duo to make my skin look more even toned, as I feel that most foundations have a coverage so thick that it’s difficult to use them on myself. So I decided to get both BB stick and cream from Maybelline. After purchase, I started immediately using the BB Stick on the slightly darker parts of my face and the cream all over it. After nearly 5 months of usage, this is what I think about Maybelline BB Cream in shade Natural.


Price and Quantity: 

Rs. 199 for 18 ml.

My Take:

The color itself is the darkest of the three shades made available by Maybelline. It is slightly darker than my skin tone. A mild con, but nothing that cannot be handled when you are using it sparsely. I generally cover my pores and sensitive areas with the Maybelline BB Stick and then dab on some BB cream, and blend the two. The result makes my skin look much fine toned and smoother. I use my fingers mostly, but sometimes I also use a brush.

The cream blends in easily. It’s very travel-friendly and I have carried it with me a lot. No issues whatsoever there. It does not hydrate much, so it is prudent to moisturize your face before application. The product also tends to separate if you leave it alone for a while. So it is quite a good idea to check before application. It also provides better coverage than most other BB Creams in the market, and I like that it does not break me out

Before and After:

The BB cream claims to stay on for 8 hours. I have to say, on me it stays for 4-6 hours max, and in the end of the day I find myself looking at a piece of cotton soaked in makeup remover with not much of the BB cream on it. Frankly speaking I don’t mind it, but it might be a con for girls who want a foundation-like finish. However, get this – it is not a foundation, it’s a BB Cream, and it is not really supposed to be a foundation.

PROS:

  • Travel friendly
  • Hides minor imperfection
  • Evens out skin
  • Does not break me out

CONS:

  • Product tends to separate if left alone for a while
  • Does not last 8 hours on me
  • Not hydrating enough


Rating: 3/5


Final Verdict:

Overall, after this package gets over, I don’t think I will be getting another one. I will repurchase the BB Stick though, but not the cream.
