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 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.

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

Himalaya Revitalizing Night Cream ~ Review and Pictures

I love this product, simple yet highly effective, creamy yet non-greasy, affordable yet superb quality and the best part~ its fragrance,,i lub it :D

Himalaya Revitalizing Night Cream ~ Review and Pictures


What Himalaya has to say about it :

You begin your day as fresh as a daisy. But then the day takes its toll, and you are exposed to the sun's harmful rays, pollution, grime and dirt. As a result your skin is snapped of its nourishment, and your body's restorative mechanism is slowed down which is why you need to take care of your skin at night too.
Try the Himalaya Revitalizing Night Cream. It is a unique blend of herbs that improved the efficacy of your body's restorative mechanism and revitalizes your skin. Go to sleep with the cream on, and wake up to beautiful skin.

Directions for use : Apply on cleansed face and neck each night, when skin is most receptive for repair and renewal. On waking, your skin is soothed, soft and revitalized.

Himalaya Revitalizing Night Cream nourishes and repairs, restores and moisturise balance with the aid of white lily and tomato extracts.

My take on it :

I love how creamy and soft it is and how easily it gets absorbed into my skin. The fragrance is what attracts me to this cream and also the soft and supple skin I see the next morning after I apply it.
I tend to lather it quite nicely and yet have never faced any skin abnormalities till now.
The skin does feel rejuvenated and I am happy buying it again and again.
sometimes I use it as a hand cream too because it really makes my hands feather soft.

Himalaya Under Eye Cream ~ Review, Pictures and Swatch


80 % reduction of dark circles in just 4 weeks.

This under eye cream contains proven and safe blend of herbs specially created to care for the delicate area around the eyes.
~ Breakthrough herbal activities of Cipadessa baccifera and Berginia Ligulata .
~ Reduces appearance of dark circles and protects the sensitive area under the eyes from sunlight.

~ Regular usage prevent new wrinkles formation.
~ US Patent Pending

Visible Results :

~ 80 % reduction in dark circles in just 4 weeks
~ 28 % in under eye wrinkles and fine lines in just 4 weeks
~ Brighter ans smoother eye contour

Directions for use 

Gently massage into the delicate area beneath the eyes after thorough cleansing. Use twice daily.


My take :

I use it as and when I remember to do so, I hate following regimes, that's not how I do things for myself,, still my hands look out for it around 2 times a day and well..that has worked pretty darn well for me. From dark dark circles to now minor ones I am really thankful to this little sweetheart. My under eye area has brightened up too and those creepy small lines have started bidding their good byes to me ;). I did not suffer from puffiness under the eyes so can not say how much effective it will be in that case.
It is of creamy consistency and thus gets absorbed easily under the skin, color is a light faun shade but it does not provide any sort of coverage. 
Its not a magic wand that will erase your dark circles in a week, give it a shot for almost 2 months so as to see good effects and also don't forget to get your much needed sleep AT THE RIGHT TIME,, 
Dark circles are those issues that crop up when you don't pay attention to your sleep pattern and also your diet intake,, apart from cosmetics which can give you result for few months only, eating/sleeping at the right time can make your dark circles vanish for ever.

Price ~  150 INR
Quantity ~ 15 ml

Recommendation : Yes please,, I am on the search for a more better option though, :) will update once I find something worth sharing, till then this one is for me baby!! :)

Thanks
