Ayur Herbals Almond Nourishing Cream Review

Hey All!

Ayur is a very known brand in India for the affordable range of cosmetics. Today I am reviewing one of their skin care product Almond Nourishing cream.We are aware of almond benefits to skin.When I first saw this cream at store, the word ‘Almond’ grabbed my attention. Though I am not a big fan of Ayur products, I thought I should give it a try. Let us find out how it worked on my skin.

Price and Quantity :

Rs.65 for 80 ml

My Take:

This nourishing cream comes in a tub packaging. We have to dip our finger to take the product out.

I have been using this for quite some time and I am happy with the results. My skin feels moisturized and soft instantly after application.The texture of the cream is not too thick and gets well absorbed by the skin. It does not add glow when used on face but leaves an oily tint. I regularly use this cream after my home pedicure routine.

Before and After Applying:

It has a very mild fragrance which is not bothersome and doesn’t linger for a long time. My skin feels super soft with regular usage as night cream. Dry skinned girls should give it a try. I am sure you will love it.

PROS:

Skin feels soft and moisturised
Goodness of almond oil
Best night cream
Reasonably priced
Great for dry feet
Sturdy packaging

CONS:

I don’t prefer using this on face
Not advisable for summers
Tub packaging makes it unhygienic

Rating: 4/5

So Do I Suggest?:

Definitely.Though I don’t recommend it as a face cream, its works so good on hands and feet.

Will I Repurchase?:

Yes. I am already in my second tub.

Pond’s White Beauty BB+ Fairness Cream With SPF 30 PA++ Review

24 Replies

Hello ladies!

Today I will be reviewing yet another blemish balm that has hit the Indian markets. i.e Ponds White Beauty All-in-One BB+ Fairness Cream with SPF 30 PA++. I think beauty companies have finally realized the importance of Indian consumers in the beauty sector and are of lately coming up with products that are already a hit in international markets.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 125/- for 18 gm

Ingredients:

My Experience:

The Ponds BB cream has a medium consistency and comes in sleek tube packaging. The tube is of plastic, white in colour white a screw open shiny silver cap.

Blemish balms are a fad these days. It provides for a quick no-nonsense daily/office wear makeup base. Also you can wear it alone with just a kohl and lip gloss to go with it. When Maybelline launched its BB in the market, I somehow could not try it.. lack of enthusiasm. And I realized my loss, when I heard so many rave reviews about it. So when I finally went to buy it, I saw this newcomer in the market and was tempted to buy it.

Ponds BB is just like any other tinted BB with sunscreen SPF 30 PA++ which no other BB has in the market. It provides medium coverage. It does not feel heavy or greasy on the skin. And there is a catch here now. Beauties don’t forget to moisturize before you apply this. Even though, I have combination skin, this felt little dry on it. And also quickly settles in fine lines.

I found that the best way to use it is to rather mix it in Johnson’s baby milk lotion and then apply it on face. You can use your regular moisturizer too. Also blending should be done carefully or else it will leave some whitish cast (maybe because of the SPF factor). But that does not persist for long. Blending should be quick.

Swatch ~ Before and After

It also claims of lightening skin tone on regular usage but I doubt that is possible with the topical use of any cosmetic product at least, so no qualms about it really.

PROS:

Provides medium coverage
Contains SPF 30++
Quick daily/ office wear makeup base
Evens skin tone
Very light and not at all greasy

Cons:

Little drying on the skin (suggested to use with moisturizer)
Settles into fine lines, so blend properly

Rating: 3.5/5

Final Verdict:

It is good product for one time try. I cannot compare with other blemish balms in the market as I have not used them. After trying this I will surely try the Maybelline and Garnier BB Cream as they are already a hit in the market. If you have a zeal of trying out new products, you may go ahead with this one. Dry skin beauties may skip this altogether.

Biotique Bio Coconut Whitening and Brightening Cream Review

19 Replies

Hi sweeties,

Have you ever had an experience like this? You desperately want to try a product, so you keep searching and searching for that. You long for that one, but you don’t find that anywhere. You ride so many kilometers for that, you order that product in different places with a hope to get it soon.. Finally, you have that one in your hand after paying extra bucks for that. You have poured your heart over that, but it cheats you without any honor.. EXACTLY this one is.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.199 for 50 gm.

Shelf Life:

3 years

My Take on Biotique Bio Coconut Whitening and Brightening Cream:

WHITENING AND BRIGHTENING are the words I fell for (I know stupid me!). I had so many acne scars on my chin, which looked nasty. With an effort to clear them all, I went ahead with this.

To be frank I don’t even like to write a review for this product. But this is just to share my worst experience. First of all coming to the packaging, this is nothing fancy. Typical boring Biotique packaging. It has a wide mouth and one has to dip their fingers to take out the product. I know many of you girls will hate it.

Seriously telling, it doesn’t do even a single thing that it claims. I really had some great expectations on it. It’s a very thick cream that hardly smells of coconuts. It has some type of minty smell. Though it gets absorbed easily, it leaves an oily cast. Use how many ever tissues to blot, still you will have tons and tons of oil on your face.

Even the driest of all will feel it heavy. Just like you applied GREASE! NO WHITE. NO BRIGHT. The first day I applied it at night, it did not break out. Second day no, third day no. finally after a week this darling showed its work. Yes, I got 10 pimples all over my face.

Oh god, I was crying, shouting, what not? Still I dared to use it the next day. Again I broke out. It made my skin so worse than ever . My dark spots tripled up. That was the day, I chucked it up somewhere inside my drawer. I don’t use it anymore. Girls, I warn you don’t ever try this culprit. I know I sound very arrogant but it did nothing other than making me feel sick and dull with more and more spots. 🙁 🙁 🙁
