Himalaya Tan Orange Peel Off Mask

Hello Lovelies,
Today I’m reviewing the Himalaya Tan Removal Orange Peel-Off Mask. It claims to control melanin synthesis with the peeling action and help to remove skin tan and lightening the skin tone.

Packaging:

Himalaya Herbals Tan Removal Orange Peel-Off Mask comes in a sturdy and easy to use tube packaging, typical of Himalaya Herbals packaging. The tube has all the information you would need about the product. The flip cap works nicely and prevents any leakage.

The lid is quite sturdy and clasps in place with just a little force. The fact that the tube stands tall on the lid itself makes sure that the product remains ready to be squeezed out and does not need you to engage in a brawl with the upper end.
Texture & Fragrance: 


Himalaya Herbals Tan Removal Orange Peel-Off Mask comes in an orange-colored gel type liquid. It is slightly thicker than the usual gel masks, but spreads easily on the face. I like the consistency of this product as the gel stays on the face and doesn’t drip. The gel has an artificial orange fragrance which is refreshing. It may be a put off for many, but I like it.

.My Experience:
I generally squeeze out the mask on my finger and spread a thick layer evenly on my cleansed face & neck avoiding eye area and hair line. The mask goes smoothly on the skin, but you need more product for the entire face and neck area. It gives a cooling sensation to the skin that lasts for 1-2 minutes. It dries completely within 10-15 minutes of application and gives a little skin tightening effect while drying.


After peeling off the mask, I noticed that it removes whiteheads too and pulls away dirt and grime from the skin, which is an added bonus. However, for those who have dry combination like mine – your skin will feel super dry post using this mask.

I have just used it once and haven’t seen any tan removal as it claims. However I feel like with other products consistency is the key, and that the first use is too early to determine if it does remove tan.

Himalaya Herbals gentle Exfoliating Walnut Scrub

Hello Lovelies,
Today I’m reviewing the Himalaya Herbals gentle Exfoliating Walnut Scrub.




Packaging:

Himalaya Herbals Exfoliating Walnut scrub comes in a sturdy and easy to use tube packaging, typical of Himalaya Herbals packaging. The tube has all the information you would need about the product. The flip cap works nicely and prevents any leakage.

The lid is quite sturdy and clasps in place with just a little force. The fact that the tube stands tall on the lid itself makes sure that the product remains ready to be squeezed out and does not need you to engage in a brawl with the upper end.

Texture: 
This is a cream based scrub with fine walnut particles. I was looking for an exfoliating scrub with slightly abrasive granules which would remove blackheads effectively but something that does not dry out my skin either. The Himalaya Walnut Scrub fits the bill perfectly. It effectively sloughs away dead skin cells and the blackheads on my nose have lessened considerably with regular usage


My Experience:

Upon the very first squeeze, a gentle pea size amount of scrub is what the tube ejects to your finger/hand. The consistency is just the right amount of thick and creamy so it’s super easy to swipe it across your face .The product contains a generous amount of exfoliating particles so the finger does not, ever really, run out of particles to rub onto the face for proper exfoliation.
Open the pores of your skin by warming up some water in the microwave and dipping a clean soft facial towel in it for about 4-5 minutes. Squeeze out all the water from the towel and lie back while you place the (now warm) towel on your face. Relax and go with the flow. Let the warm towel work its magic and after like 5 minutes (or when the towel seems to lose its warmth) take it off and apply the scrub to your face. Gently massage the entire face, keeping your fingers specially focused on the high maintenance areas like the nose. Keep massaging for about 5-10 mins and rinse off with cold water. The cold water at the end will close the pores and the exfoliating scrub would have done its job.
THE YAYS!

Why you need Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden right now!

I have yet to find a perfume from Elizabeth Arden that I dislike. It started with Mediterranean. I was first introduced to this perfume in one of those promotional kiosks in a mall in Bombay. I have always been more of a body mist than perfume person. The fact that the mist doesn’t weigh you down was always a plus.

Mediterranean is a feminine perfume by Elizabeth Arden, launched in 2007



Since I was in school, my parents decided that perfume wasn’t a requirement. We got 2 vials with the perfume and I kept one of them with me.

Two years later, I found the vial – empty, however it was still fragrant. My love affair with Mediterranean started that very moment. Not only was it long lasting but it also smelled amazing. It wasn’t super strong and that definitely was a plus.

The smell was rustic yet flirty and lasted for a good 8 hours.

The bottle was a cerulean glass with hammered silver cap. I wasn’t aware of notes until recently. I instantly checked for Mediterranean’s notes to know what was it about this bottle that attracted me towards it.



The exotic quality comes from Madagascar orchid, wisteria and Star magnolia, with light finishes of peach, Sicilian mandarin and the beautifully named Damask Plum. Amber, sandal wood and musk were the base note.

The Sandalwood and Amber add a spicy, woodsy quality, which nicely balances the fruits and exotic florals. Everything combines to create a delicate scent that evokes sunshine, summer and adventure.

This is the sort of perfume that quietly invites you in rather than being powerful and overt. If you are like me and don't strong strong scented perfumes, however want them to last long, then you should definitely try this.

 What's your favorite perfume???

Elekta Lady shaver & Epilator

Hello lovelies!

I’m so excited to share my experience with you. I have been using epilators for some years now, and I couldn’t be more relieved and happy that I made that switch from traditional hair removal methods.


You may have happily ignored epilators in the shopping aisles, but im hoping that this post will change your perception towards them. We are going to quickly understand what an epilator is, what features you should look for while buying an epilator and most importantly how to use it.

An epilator is a compact device that removes hairs from its roots. A bunch of hair is removed with a single pass as tweezers rotate and pull the hair from its roots. The best part - you can have smooth skin for two weeks or up to a month!


Epilation is not only a cheaper alternative to hair removal, but also an effective method. After extended usage, fewer hairs grow and, most importantly, they grow thinner. In the beginning you may take almost the similar amount of time that you spend at your salon, however over time you may just take 40 minutes tops.


Epilators can be either dry or wet or a combination of both. If you are starting off or have very low resistance to pain. I would suggest getting a wet epilator as you can use it under the shower where pores are open thus easing the pain.

Using an epilator is incredibly simple. Anyone can do it and that’s why I truly recommend these devices as the optimal way of getting smooth skin. Just move it slowly at a 90 degrees angle against the direction in which the hair is growing. Will it hurt, yes! But if you are used to waxing then the pain won’t even bother you!

While buying an epilator, do check for the following features:

1. The most important and basic thing that an epilator does is to remove hair from its roots, and not just the surface. Hence, it’s important to check for epilators that come with tweezers.The more tweezers it has, the less time each epilation session will take.

2. Hygiene: Check the cleaning method involved. It’s different for wet and dry epilators.

3. Accessories
a) An efficiency cap is something I always want to find in the box because, trust me, it eases on the pain a little and it makes the entire hair removing process more comfortable.

b) There are all sorts of accessories like cooling gloves and massaging heads, having the same purpose: making the pain less intense. However, always use the cooling glove after epilation not before or during.

c) Built-in light ensures that you won’t miss any hairs.

 d) Number of speeds, usually two. There are few epilators who have just one speed.

e) Corded or cordless (rechargeable or battery operable).

Considering all the above features, I will try to describe the perfect hair removal device for me. Maybe it will help you figuring out what you need and want. The best epilator for me is quite a basic device with 2 speeds, efficiency cap, built in light and cordless.

For me the epilator from Elekta was hence a good choice. It comes in with all the mentioned features along with a massage head which eases pain especially when it comes to cleaning your lady parts.


I love the charging console (not sure what it’s actually called) as it allows me to rest the epilator while charging.


Most of the eplialors available in the market have the same features. What sets them apart are the accessories that they come with. 


You will be pretty surprised to learn that it only costs AED 60. You can check it HERE , you can check other options HERE

Much Love!
