Coming to the Set of Products that i got from The Herb Boutique:-

So i received a set of 5 products from The Herb Boutique !

1) Mint Mystique Body Polish 
 Peppermint and Honey 
 Price Rupees 999 for 150 gms of the product .
 Shelf Life 12 months.

 Description of the product:- Enriched with the freshness of authentic peppermint oil and sweetened with organic honey.. Mint Mystique will leave your skin irresistibly smooth.

Direction:- Moisten skin , massage gently with fingertips in circular motion. Wash off with clear water.

My Experience
For me "this is Magic in a jar "

I am completely in love with this particular product from their range.
It is sea green in color with sugar particles in it .
Texture wise it is quite coarse and ensures that your dead skin cells are removed properly.
I use it on my body twice a week and it takes away all of the dead and dry skin cells and leaves my skin soft and smooth. 
The fragrance of mint is quite refreshing .

If you are following me on instagram then you would definitely know how much i love this particular product..
Whenever my hands feel dull and dry this jar comes to my rescue.
My Rating 5/5 

2) Floral Finesse
Jasmine, Marigold & Green tea leaves
Price Rupees 600 
It comes in a beautiful test tube sort of a packaging which looks super cool.

I have tried green tea's before but none of them was so refreshing.
This tea is my current favourite .
We all know how helpful green tea is for our bodies.

It has a very floral fragrance and having a cup of this makes my day even better.


3) Lychee Honey
 Price Rupees 125
 We are already aware of the benefits of honey but Lychee Honey was a totally new concept for me .

 Lychee fruit is packed with a lot of health benefits and nutrients,vitamins and minerals and honey prevents cancer,heart diseases,is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal,treats ulcers,heals wounds and burns and also helps in weight-loss.

Honey is a very healthy alternative for sugar.
I usually have this honey in the morning . I mix 1 tablespoon of this honey in a glass of warm water and have it.
I also used it in my facepack once!

This honey looks similar to the regular honey but according to me it has a stronger fragrance than regular honey (that is just what i felt) !


4) Peppermint Bath Soak 
With the freshness of peppermint
Price Rupees 180
Shelf Life 24 months
The bath soak comes in a test tube sort of a packaging and looks super cute . 

Description
If you are feeling that your body is due for a little relaxing and resetting , a peppermint bath soak is what you need .

Dipping into a peppermint bath is a good way to cleanse your body , rest your mind and glue and extra support to several of the body's systems.

Directions
Stir the soak into the water and circulate well,till the fragrances are released.

My Experience
This bath soak has a very refreshing fragrance,much more refreshing than the mint mistique body polish and i quite love it .

As directed i stir a little amount of it into my water until the fragrances are released . I am not a very big fan of this product but it does a quite decent job. 

The fragrance and packaging of this product is something that i really like.

5)The Sweet Treat Raw Honey Soap Bar 
  Price Rupees 300 
  I have not used this product yet but i will definitely review it as soon as i use it .

So this was all about the The Herb Boutique Products-Unboxing and Review.
I hope this post turns out to be helpful for you all.

Enjoy every season with Coffee from Beanstalk & Leaves - Review

Hi Friends !

First of all i would love to welcome you all to my lil space where i share my experiences,reviews, some tips and tricks and everything related to skincare and beauty but today's post is going to be different from my regular posts and is not related to beauty .

Today i am going to share my experience with Beanstalk & leaves .

 I think Coffee is something that can soothe and provide comfort all 365 days !

You might have heard a lot about coffee from coffee lovers.
And now let's hear something from a person who is not a coffee lover at all ! (Me).
I don't have coffee on a regular basis but i am definitely someone who needs a big mug of coffee while studying for my exams ! (hehe ! those sleepless nights i tell you ! - i think many of you would relate).



About the Brand
Beanstalk & leaves is a brand that offers you 3 exciting and aromatic flavors of filter coffee.

Aroma
Every Flavor has a slightly different aroma !
Velvet dew has a very soothing aroma while that of shotgun is quite strong .

The 3 exciting flavours are -
Velvet Dew
Shotgun
Smooth Operator


1) Velvet Dew 
Description
This blend is engineered to bring out the best in you and makes the world a better place to live in. Helps in putting your angry neighbours,girlfriends and your ex-girlfriend in a good mood.
   

My Experience

This coffee has a very pleasant aroma that i quite liked. This coffee is the mildest. Perfect for the one's who can't have strong coffee. It's the blend that i loved the most. It's a perfectly mild coffee that one can enjoy while sitting on bed reading books and watching the rain drops fall on the ground .

Price
Rupees 355 for 250 gms
                                                                      Buy it online
                   http://www.amazon.in/Beanstalk-Leaves-Velvet-Coffee-Powder/dp/B01JS6X6J8


2) Smooth Operator
Description
A blend that instantly translates you into a smooth smokin killer type fellow which in turn makes you feel invincibly smooth.

 My Experience
 Coming to the name smooth operator,i thought that this blend is going to be the mildest of all !
 But to my surprise velvet dew is much milder than this one.
This is my second favorite blend  of coffee. Perfect for the one's who can't handle extremely strong or strong coffee and don't like very mild blends of coffee as well.

Price
Rupees 295 for 250 gms
                                                                         Buy it online

3) Shotgun
Wakes you up with a bang only to make you the most efficient sentinel being who has achieved   100% efficiency.Basically what we are saying is that you get stuff done.

 My Experience

This one is the strongest variant out of the three . The aroma is just so powerful . Perfect for the one's who love strong coffee . This is the one for those sleepless nights that one experiences during exams .  

It's definitely going to help you stay awake and get you going when you have truck loads of syllabus/ work to finish :)


Price
Rupees 335 for 250 gms                                                                                                               Buy it online

What i liked about these coffee variants
1) Travel Friendly Packaging
2) Zip Lock  (No need to transfer the contents into a jar )
3) 3 Different Variants (Everyone can choose a variant according to his/her preference).
4) High Quality
5)  Affordable
6)  Aroma


What i did'nt like ??
It's not instant coffee. Each blend needs to be brewed for around 3-4 minutes to get perfectly flavoured coffee


 Will i go ahead and buy these again?
 Yes !                                                                                    
 I would love to go ahead and buy the velvet dew one again as it suits my preference and taste.

Hydrofil Emollient Lotion by Ethicare remdies-review

Hi guys !
I hope you all are doing well !
So winter's here :)
I personally love winters but the sad part about winters is that it leads to dry and flaky skin.

Today i am back with a review on a lotion that would help in transforming your dry and  flaky skin into happy, smooth and supple skin :) from Ethicare Remedies

Review

Description of the Product
Hydrofil is a specially formulated moisturiser, which helps to replenish skin's moisture and protective lipid barrier with advanced non-comedogenic ingredients.

Hydrofil contains phospholipid - Lecithin , a natural substance found in all living cells, that helps reconstitute the deficient hydrolipidic film of the skin.
Hydrofil also contains aloe vera and bees wax-the natural trusted and time tested moisturizers . Vitamin -E in Hydrofil keeps your skin soft and supple by promoting epithelialisation . Light liquid paraffin and silicone oil in Hydrofil creates occlusive film to seal the moisture into the skin. Propylene glycol in Hydrofil is trusteed humactant , which absorbs moisture from atmosphere . To obtain best results , use Hydrofil lotion regularly.

Packaging
It comes in a cardboard style outer packaging !
The outer carton has all the important information like name , description , key ingredients ,manufacturing and expiry dates and quantity printed over it .
The actual product comes in a white colored bottle with red stickers on which the all the information is printed .

I am really glad that all the important information is printed over the bottle itself because sometimes we tend to throw the outer carton and then keep on wondering about the manufacturing and the expiry date of the product .

Quantity 100 ml
Price Rupees 165 for 100 ml of the product
also available in 400 ml economical pack :)

The packaging is quite decent !
The make of the bottle is quite pretty n sleek .

Travel Friendly Packaging
The bottle has a flip top lid which is quite tight so there is no chance of the product getting leaked .
The size of the bottle is that of my hand /palm so it easily fits in my sling as well as college bag .

My Experience
Coming to the experience
so in this particular post i am going to share both mine and my father's experience with this product .

My father has very dry skin and most of the times he's annoyed with those little white flakes on his skin .
He tried out this product and his skin was instantly moisturized . Trust me he's not somebody who easily likes a product but he completely loved the results after using this lotion .

So now coming to my experience
This lotion is milky white in color and the texture is quite runny .

It gets absorbed quite easily and you can instantly make out the difference in your skin from the very first use .

contains aloe vera , bees wax and vitamin-e all of which play in a crucial role in hydrating your skin .

I apply it whenever i feel the need . The formula of this lotion is non-sticky and provides that extra layer of moisture to your skin .
Coming to its name Hydrofil it actually does what its name suggests . It hydrates the skin very well and replenishes it .

RESULTS
soft
supple
and glowing skin
instantly replenishes and moisturizes your skin
heels it from within .
adds a glow to your skin :)
non-sticky
keeps your skin moisturized



So all in all i really loved this product .
My Rating 5/5

Say Hi-fi to winters with KIWI Hand and Nail cream by The Nature's Co. 😊

Hey guys !
I hope you all are doing well .

I was in Mumbai in the month of october . its an amazing city ❤.
It was rainy season in mumbai with mildly cold nights 😊 but i really enjoyed it !

Its the month of November now and the winter season is approaching . I really like winter season but i hate the fact that it would be accompanied by dry hands, lips and skin .

But we do have solutions for that !
A chapstick for dry lips .
A foot cream for those tired feet .
but no matter how many times i apply a body lotion or cream on my hands they still keep on getting dry 😒
But not this time !

My Take on the Product (my Review) 
The packaging is really eco friendly and user friendly as well . It is a white colored cream that comes in a transparent tube with a flip top cap making it easy to use and one can always make out how much product is left . Coming to the fragrance, it's a mixed smell of different oils but seems really soothing to me .

KIWI - the main ingredient
kiwi is a great natural ingredient for your skin . It contains several skin friendly nutrients like Vitamin C , E and antioxidants which are essential for boosting and rejuvenating your skin's health.
It also helps in making your skin flexible and youthful.
ThE KIwi hand and nail cream by the Nature's co. contains
1)Shea butter that treats many skin Problems including blemishes , wrinkles, sunburns, itching , skin alllergies and insect bites.
2) Kokum butter- helps prevent drying of skin , heals fissures of lips , hands and soles of feet.
3) A combination of various oils
4)Olive oil - contains anti agieing antioxidants
5)Wheat Germ Oil - Natural Source of Vitamin E , helps reduce skin damage , supports healthy collagen and maintains even skin tone.
6)Grape Seed oil - doesn't clogs pores , helps in skin tightening and reduces scars.
7)Jojoba and coconut Oil - moisturizes skin

My Experience with the product 
It's the most luxurious skin cream that i have tried so far .
Just a coin sized amount is enough to cover both my hands .

No matter how Dry and Chapped my hands might be once i apply this cream they turn into the soffest hands ever .

I take a very little amount of this product on my hands and massage it really nicely all over my hands and nails and as soon as i apply this i can literally see a glow on my hands and nails as well ( See the picture below )

Though it is not meant for this purpose but still i use tis on my feet as well ! Actually i love dancing and if i talk about my feet they are always in the worst condition you can always see cracks on them and they are always dead and dry but i as soon as i started using this cream on my feet they started looking so much healthy and i really couldn't believe it .

It really nourishes my skin so nicely and the effect lasts really longer unlike other hand creams and lotions that need to be applied again and again.

All in all this cream not only helps you get rid of those dry hands but actually works from within and heals your skin ! So , this cream definitely deserves the best rating .

MY RATING 
5/5

I hope you enjoyed the review till next time stay tuned !

What the product says -
Inatur Charcoal Face Scrub is a cream based , helps to gently slough away dead skin cells and leaving behind a glowing nutured complexion .
It can be used daily .

My Experience
I used the product on every alternate day for 3 weeks .
It's a black colored scrub with a creamy base. You do not need a lot of the product as it's creamy formula makes it too easy to cover your face with a really less amount of the product . It has a really nice and pleasant fragrance.

It has got little uneven textured bead like things that make it super easy to scrub . I scrub it really gently onto my face for at least 2 minutes in circular motion . 
Right after the first use , i was able to make out the difference in my skin .
I got rid of those irritating black and white heads. My skin became soft and smooth and became much more supple and clean.
Every time i use it i just love the results!
As it contains basil extract it helps in keeping away the oil and controls the sebum . Neem extract makes sure that your skin stays away from bacterial and other skin infections , And charcoal deeply cleanses and detoxifies your skin making it soft , supple , smooth and naturally glowing . I am very much satisified with the product .

Dr. wheatgrass superbalm review and where i was !

Hello guys!
i am back !
okay , so i know that i haven't posted anything  for quite a long time now and i am really sorry for that but i have a really good news .
I have finally started my own you tube channel ! yayy ! and i was busy with that all this while but now i am back with a super awesome product review.

So today i am going to review the Multi purpose soother from Dr Wheatgrass.
All products from Dr Wheatgrass contain the Grass Juice Factor and are enriched with
Antioxidants,
Phytosterols
Biofavonoids
Naturally occuring vitamins A,C&E
Minerals and Amino Acids.

Wheatgrass is known to be an amazing healer because it contains lots of minerals and vitamins.
Wheatgrass contains upto 70% chlorophyll which is an important blood builder.
I loved the tagline of the brand that is "Helping Every Body"

They have a great range of products which includes
Skin Recovery Cream
Antioxidant Skin Recovery Spray
Sin Recovery Gel
Supershots
Superbalm


They sent me 4 sachets of SuperBalm (3 ml each). The quantity lasted for about 15 days.
Superbalm is a Multi Purpose soother and is perfect for Athletes and Trainers. It's a stiff muscle and soft tissue soother .
It can be applied to Broken, Burned , Chaffed or cracked skin.

It's their all rounder and the strongest product as it contains the highest percentage of wheatgrass extract.

My Experience
 The formula is a bit thin and the texture is really smooth . Your skin would feel completely soft and smooth after applying it .
It smells exactly like Wheatgrass and is a bit strong .

I applied it every night onto my acne and scars. On the first day i didn't really notice a difference but on the second day when i woke up i found my skin to be fully hydrated . I could actually see the glow on my cheeks!
After a week  my scars lightened a bit i cannot say that they lightened completely but i was able to see reduction in my brown and red spots .

If you are someone who's a makeup lover and doesn't really gets the time to take care of your skin and pamper it then you can definitely go ahead with this product to get back that radiant glow on your skin.
It would also lighten your scars .
All in all i really liked the product .
