Lotus Herbal White Glow Skin Whitening and Brightening Gel Cream ~ Review

Lotus Herbal White Glow Skin Whitening and Brightening Gel Cream ~ Review 

First and foremost , I am a huge fan of THIS . :)

After months and months of experimenting with useless creams I found this one and I am glad I did.
When I finished two bottles of it, I thought why not give the other variants from this range a try...
I wanted to buy the serum but It was not available at the shop I went to, nor was the emulsion, the only thing there was Yogurt scrub and this Gel cream from this range.
Honestly speaking I was not sure whether I should use it for my face because my skin is slightly sensitive and the word gel cream didn’t sound good to me, but then I thought okay, I never knew the emulsion was going to work either, but It did so why not give it a try,, the shiny mirror like cap was calling my name, I couldn’t refuse. I had a backup plan that if it backfires on my face, I would use it as a body cream.

About the product:

Enriched with Grape, Mulberry, Saxifraga extracts and Milk enzymes that are known fairness agents A revolutionary formula that blends the benefits of a gel and a crème It also contains sunscreens to protect the skin from harmful UVA&UVB rays that can darken the skin
With SPF 25 and PA+++

Why WHITEGLOW ?

Its a technologically advanced formulation that provides triple action on skin ~ Lightening, Brightening and Whitening with the help of rare fruit and proven plant extracts that penetrate deep into the skin to provide enduring action. The result, your skin looks fairer, flawless and radiant.

It’s free from harsh chemicals that generally have side effects.

Lotus Herbal White Glow Skin Whitening and Brightening Gel Cream ~ Review 


Why Gel Cream ?

It is a revolutionary fairness solution that incorporates the advantages of a gel and a cream .
~ Spreads easily on your skin ~ <3 True
~ Advanced formula allows for better delivery of active ingredients.
~ Good for all skin types including oily and combination skin .

My experience with it ~

I like it but then I don’t love it. There ..you see I am not loving it, so it has some minor glitches which did not make it comparable with the emulsion 
One thing that I like the most in it is the feeling of a rich moisturizer on your face without you looking like a shining ball or something. It did not cause any break outs on my skin. Another thing that I really liked is that It completely works to soothe out the dry patches on my skin.
It is basically a semi-thick gel cream with beautiful fragrance.  It did not brighten up my skin like the emulsion cream did but then neither did it cause any break out. It is totally apt for those days when I find any dry patch on my skin. Blends out super easily on to my skin.

Lotus Herbal White Glow Skin Whitening and Brightening Gel Cream ~ Review Add caption



The things good ~

~ Semi-thick gel based cream that did not break out my oily-combination skin
~ Lovely fragrance
 ~ Apt for soothing dry skin
~ Does not clog my skin pores
~ Moisturizes the skin very well
~ Soothes the skin and makes it super soft <3

The things Bad ~

~ The container ~ A tub ~ heavy too
~ Flakes out when laired,, rub it and see,,(dnt do it just before leaving your house, cos then u will have to apply everything on your face again ;) )

This one was just for trial, I will repurchase it in winters for sure, when my face needs nice amount of moisturization. I will purchase the emulsion again and the serum ,,just for the sake of trying it.

Comparing the emulsion and the gel cream I would say that :

For people with oily/combi skin ~ Go for the Emulsion in summers and emulsion + gel cream in winters
For people with dry skin ~ Go for emulsion + gel cream in summers and Only Gel cream in winters.
For rest ~ Mix and match depending on how your skin is behaving.

Recommendation : Yes please, any which way you will love it. Beware of flakiness though.

Price : 295 INR

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

What Lakme has to say about this 

The ultimate in definition and separation. This must have mascara delivers stunningly defined eyes. The unique brush separates and curls each lash and coats it from root to tip without ever clumping. Smudge-proof, tear proof and easily removable.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

I was using the Maybelline Colossal Mascara for around 2 years and was actually not very happy with the results as time passed by. Initially it was ok, but as I used it more and more I felt it was not actually what I want for my lashes. It clumped and did not make my lashes curl, but yes full points for making the false volume effect.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures

So, when I thought of buying a new one, I was all game for the Bourjois one but somehow I went and bought the Lakme Lash Artist and I must say its one product that actually makes your lashes curl.
I had a Lakme Mascara before the Maybelline one but I don't think so it was the Lash Artist, it was something else and gave satisfactory results to me. But then the Maybelline colossal range came up and I went and bought that one.

Lakme Lash Artist ~ Review and Pictures


The positive points of the Lakme Lash Artist are :

~ It fans out my lashes beautifully.
~ No clumping on the lashes
~ I like the wand applicator, the brush is good and separates the lashes quite nicely.
~ Packaging is sturdy
~ Odor free, I dislike cosmetics with any kind of smell.
~ Gives length to the lashes
~ Easy to remove too.

The negative points of the Lakme Lash Artist :

~ Non-attractive but I can live with that ;)
~ You have to retouch the mascara after 3-4 hours.
~ No false volume effect.
~ No composition list anywhere. this freaks me out sometime,,with so much being written about cosmetics and their unhealthy composition in the newspaper these days.

Nothing major of a con actually except the missing composition list,,,, else its good value for money .

Price : 225 INR

Net volume : 6 ml

Shelf life : 2 years

Here is how it looks on my eyes.
sorry for the not so clear pictures , my camera is not working at the moment.

What It has done for me ?

I always wanted a light-non greasy moisturizer for my face that can make my face soft throughout the day and m glad I finally found it.
It has definitely even out my skin tone and gives a nice soft dewy glow to my skin.
I use it in the morning after washing my face with my regular Himalya Neem Foaming face wash and after that if required any makeup over it.
Keeps my facial skin hydrated, soft and supple.
Also before going to sleep I use it over my face and neck and say then ,,,, I say hello!! to a soft glowy skin the next morning. :)
It has never broke out my skin or in fact any other bad thing.

One single pump amount is enough for your face at a time, because I use it for my neck too I liberally pump twice and massage the cream into my skin for a good minute.



As far as the packaging goes It looks neat and classy , the pump is very nice and the bottle is made of hard glass.

Enough of description is present inside the carton of this product.

The fragrance is very mild n flowery. I love it.
The consistency of the cream is just perfect, blends out so easily into my skin.
Non-greasy and doesn't leave any white cast on your face.

This cream has definitely made my skin better and yes I can see the glow on my face and the soft feather like touch too :) :)
The uneven skin is gone and definitely the acne scars and sun spots have lighten allot, so I can easily say that It has lighten my skin on a good note.

It has stood up to all its claims for me. Nothing negative for it from my experience :)

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm

Lip balms are those cosmetic products that can be found in everyone's handbags these days. The reason being they are essential/kind of addictive/ habit/ etc etc.. :p yeahh!! we all can find reasons to justify its presence in our bags especially at times when the more essential ones like car keys, money, cheque book, cell phone go all peek a boo in the bag and these little babies are what my hands grab out from the bag instead of those :p :p ( i  sense some giggles here :D )

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm

ok, so lets not get into that and let me tell you what I am loving right now in terms of lip balms and what has come as a sort of disappointment to me :)

Right now, apart from 2 brands that are not available in India I have only 3 lip balms from Indian mfg's with me :)
They are :
Nivea Fruity Shine Lip balm
Lotus Herbal Strawberry Lip balm
Lotus Herbal cocoa Lip balm

Nivea Fruity Shine Lip balm 

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm
OK, I like this one for the shade it is. On applying slightly, it gives a light pinkish tinge on my lips which I loveee like anything, whereas the more you keep on applying the darker the shades get going to the point of it being a nice red shade.

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm
On the aspect of it being a balm for lips I find it below average. It does not moisturise my lips at all, mine are alright and not chapped and it does nothing much so I wonder if it will really really do anything good for dry n chapped ones.

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm

The packaging is what I like allot, its simple yet sturdy and very practical. Its twist up mechanism is what I like  and expect to be in lip balms and allot other makeup products.

Skip it please...

Lotus Herbal Strawberry Lip Balm

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm
I pick this one up when the cocoa one is missing somewhere. The tint it gives to my lips is slightly similar to the nivea one, albeit a bit lighter :) . It smells of strawberries (yeah genius) . I like it n my maa hates it :|

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm
On the aspect of it being a lip balm I find it working decently on my lips making them soft and supple and nicely moisturised. Its a bit waxy to my liking but still not something that I will not mind buying again.

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm
The packaging is what I seriously don't like a teeny tiny bit. Lip Balm in a tub :o ,, either have loads of time to sanitize your hands before pouring your finger down this tub and if you don't then look for the one below :p . I don't like using it when I am on the move, so this is for home baby !!

   ~ ~ ~  Buy if it really really fancies you, else move on..




                                                                                                     ~ ~                ~ ~




Lotus Herbal Cocoa Lip Therapy Lip Balm

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm
I lub it :D
Its clear (no-no) but but soooo good :D . It smells of cocoa ,,omggg!!! I love its fragrance so sooo much ;)

As a lip balm it does wonders for my lips, make them so soft and smooth all day long, when I use this one I hardly use it twice and day and not more than that, this shows how effective this little baby is :)

Lip balm favs ~ Lotus Herbal strawberry lip balm, Lotus Herbal cocoa lip balm and Nivea fruity shine lip balm
As on packaging I have a love/hate thing with it, It uses the twist up mechanism BUT the product doesn't twist down at all. If its up its up, it wont go down on its own so you have to push it with your finger back inside the tube (happened with me the day I bought it) .

Hydrates
Heals
Protects with SPF 15 ,, smart lah !!

My Recommendation :

So, in my opinion the one that I would suggest you this winter is ,,,,, no drum rolls ;)
 Lotus Herbal cocoa lip therapy only :D


If you are struggling from dry chapped lips these cold winter days then go n grab it, you won't regret it.
Maybe like me the aroma it has will make you happy too :D weeee :D

Have a fantastic week everyone :)

Thanks

Lotus Herbal Natural Kajal~Product review and swatches

I have been experimenting with kajal/kohl allot, now I am not going to suggest someone a kajal which smudges like hell even if it provides glossy black shine :)
This kajal by Lotus Herbal is something that stands on the borderline of being smudgy/non-smudgy
I mean it is perfect for some and not so perfect for others but this one is definitely worthy of trying out atleast once.

Lotus Herbal Natural Kajal~Product review and swatches

Lotus Herbal Natural Kajal~Product review and swatches

My take on this Kajal

Lotus Herbal is our very own trusted brand and I never think twice while picking up products from their range and the same goes with this Kajal. The word Herbal caught my fancy when it came to experimenting with Kohl.
Ok, this kajal gives my eyes the gloss and shine which my maybelline colossal one can't even try n give :)
There is a sheen in the kajal and the color is intense jet black,,which comes only after 2-3 swipes btw..
else in one swipe it gives a normal black shade which looks more subtle.
It smudges slightly on my eyes and whenever I use it I make it a point to set some loose powder under my eyes so as to control the smudge.
Other than that there is no con with this pretty looking thing

Also I love the packaging allot,,I love it's packaging more than my maybelline one.
The material is quite sturdy and the red-black combination looks damn good. It swivels up n down the tube without any fuss or without any product clinging to the sides of the tube.

EOTD with this kajal here

Recommendation : Yes please try this one, if it smudges and you don't like to set it with loose powder then you can pick up the maybelline colossal kajal without any second thoughts, you can read my review on it here

Thanks
