Kama Ayurveda Box : Review

Hey Guys,

If you are regular at my blog, by now you would have probably guesses that I’m huge fan of sample boxes or gift boxes as they let you try lot of products at fraction of cost, so that later you can buy full size products of the things that you liked and suited you well.

Today I’m going to review a similar box from very reputed and ayurvedic brand: Kama Ayurveda box.

Kama Ayurveda Box : Review, Kama Ayurveda Box, Kama Ayurveda, Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose water, Kama Ayurveda   Rose Jasmine face cleanser , Kama Ayurveda    Bringadi intensive hair treatment,  Kama Ayurveda    Rose lip balm, Kama Ayurveda    Jwalini Retexturizing skin treatment oil, Kama Ayurveda hair oil, Kama Ayurveda face cleanser, Kama Ayurveda oil.

I’m pretty sure everyone knows about this brand and also that the products are absolutely beautiful but quite expensive; hence I was ecstatic when I got to use this awesome gift box.

The best part of this brand is that all their products are ultra-pure i.e there is no artificial colour, fragrance, petrochemical or parabens & sulphates. That is why the products are so good.

Packing:

It comes in beautiful golden box with straws at the base. The moment you open the box you can smell awesome smell of all the products. The products have standard kama ayurveda packaging.

Products:

1.      Pure Rose water (50 ml)
2.      Rose Jasmine face cleanser (50 ml)
3.      Bringadi intensive hair treatment. (100 ml)
4.      Rose lip balm (5 gm)
5.      Jwalini Retexturizing skin treatment oil (10 ml)

My thoughts:

All the products in the box except for the Jwalini Retexturizing skin treatment oil are full size products.

1.     Pure Rose water (INR 250 for 50 ml)

It comes in a spray bottle and is a complete winner just for that. I directly spray it on my face and viola refreshed skin in 2 minutes. I have used it as a toner; have mixed it with powder face pack and also as a face mist. It has very mild smell and has very soothing effect on skin. I love this to the bits.

2.     Rose Jasmine face cleanser (INR 375 for 50 ml)

It comes in a bottle with a pump. The product is clear has runny texture. It smells of rose and has very mild & calming smell. I absolutely love this smell and use it every evening just for its calming effect. It doesn’t lather much but works well. It is very gentle on the skin, doesn’t leave my residue behind nor does it make my skin dry. Skin feels really soft and dewy with subtle glow after using this face wash.
This is my favourite product from this box.

3.     Bringadi intensive hair treatment. (INR 515 for 100 ml)

It comes in a transparent bottle with golden screw on lid. I’m not really impressed with this packing as it makes using product a bit difficult. The oil is brown in color and has really strong ayurvedic smell. The oil itself is non greasy or sticky on fingers. I have use just 30 mins before bath, over night, over night with steam, and every time I have just loved the results. It makes my hair super soft and glossy; most times I skip my conditioner if I have applied bringadi oil. It has reduced my hair fall significantly and transformed my frizzy mane into soft, manageable hair.

4.      Rose lipbalm (INR 525 for5 gm)

It comes in small transparent tub packaging with black screw on lid, packaging could have been bit better (hygienic) in my opinion. The product itself is yellowish in colour and has tick cream like texture. It smells divine of mils rose but the fragrance disappears quickly once you apply it on lips. It is quite light on lips and stays for 2 to 3 hrs. It is a non sticky, non greasy product and it doesn’t impart any colour to the lips just a natural sheen. It moisturises my lips extremely well and has cured my dry & flaky lips.

5.      Jwalini Retexturizing skin treatment oil (RS 350 for 100 ml)

This is the only sample product in the box and quite frankly I won’t be able to same about it as the quantity is very less to actually know how well is product works or doesn’t work.

The oil is light yellow in colour and has a thick oily consistency. It smells quite strong of various herbs. I have applied it on my hands and it got absorbed quickly without making them greasy or sticky.  I have used it in my moisturiser at night and next day my skin was looking better and usual but not at all oily. I might buy a full size product and then give a detailed review.

Overall:

I really liked all the products from this box and would definitely buy the cleanser, hair oil and full size bottle of Retexturizing oil again. The products are really good and deliver on all the claims.

Rating: 5/5

Maybelline and L’Oreal Haul & Express Review

Hey guys,

So recently I did this really big haul from Maybelline and L’Oreal from their color riche range. I love their products and most of them are really value for money, also most products I got were on my which list for long time.

So without further ado, let’s get to the Haul

Maybelline and L’Oreal Haul & Express Review, Haul, Maybelline, L'OREAL PARIS COLOR RICHE LA PALLETE NUDE,  L'OREAL PARIS LIPLINER ,  L'OREAL COLOR RICHE LIPSTICKS,   MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS CANDY WOW, L'Oreal, Loreal color riche, Loreal color riche collection, Loreal color riche lipstick, loreal color pallate.

I really wanted to try these pallets for a long time. I got both the pallets Rose & in Beige. Both the pallets have very neutral everyday shades. Most of the shades have matte or satiny finish. That is one of the reason I got these palate as I had eye shadows that shimmer in them. All the Eye shadows from these pallets are very silky and easy to work with. Color payoffs of some shades are much better than others and would definitely require primer underneath for the colors to show better. I’m not someone who wears lot of colors on my eyes so both these pallets are very useful to me.

L'OREAL PARIS LIPLINER COUTURE (INR 699)

Next up I got these beautiful newly launched lip liners from L'Oreal, and I cannot emphasis enough how much I love them. So I got 3: 374 Intense Plum, 461 Scarlet rouge and 258 Berry Blush. They are the softest lip liner that I have ever used and color payoff is mind blowingly good. You can literally use them as lipsticks; they are that soft and moisturizing.

All the three shade are prefect for all daily use. My favorite is Berry blush & the fact that it is very Kylie Jenner shade is a bonus Yay!!

I wanted these lippies since the time they launched. I got 4 lipsticks from this range: 115 Rouge Corail, 131 Mistinguette, 132 Magnolia Irrelevant, 133 Rosewood Nonchalant. Again these lipsticks are just beautiful; they are really soft and moisturizing. My favorite is 131 Mistinguette, it’s a lovely every day pink shade and my go to color right now. Their stay time is around 3-4 hrs. and leave a lovely tinted lips once they wear off.

I can never leave Maybelline counter without buying their baby lips lip balm and this time was no different. I picked up 2 variants: Orange and Mixed Berry. I loved the packing and the vibrant colors of these lip balms. They have good color payoff and one can even use them alone for natural looking lips. I generally like Maybelline Lip balms so no qualms there.

This product was not on my wish list per say but I was in need of good compact and I thought what the hell and got this one for me, it’s in shade shell which suits me fine. Coverage is sheer to medium. It’s a decent compact if you are on budget.

Empties: #1 (SKIN & BODY CARE)


After seeing so many empties post and vlog I was inspired to do one as I’m a hoarder and keep on collecting junk for no apparent reason.


Below empties are of last few months combined and will do new post of empties once every 3 months in future.


Skin & body care:

1.     Votre Mangifera Hand & Foot Gel Cream Spf 15: (550Rs):
 I had received it in fab bag, dint really like it smelled weird must have used it hardly 3-4 times. It had glue like consistence and texture and was over all a disappointment
Buy it again: Never
Recommended: Most definitely not recommend

2.      Nivea lipcare fruity shine: Cherry: (129 Rs)
It was my go to lip balm in winters. Loved it to bits as it moisturized really well plus gave a very nice rosy tint to the lips. It smells really nice and was sweet to taste.
Buy it again:  surely buy it again, once all my current lip balms are finished
Recommended: A must try

3.     Nivea lip butter: Caramel Cream: (189 Rs)
 One more Nivea product, I quite like this balm for there lip balms. This was a decent product and used it mostly for night time. It smelled of caramel and was extremely moisturizing.  Good product but I don’t think ill but it again, since it came in tub packaging scooping out product was both problematic and unhygienic to say the least.
Buy it again: Probably not
Recommended: Not really

4.     Labello lip butter: Raspberry Rose: (189 Rs)
I felt it was copy of Nivea lip butter so pretty much felt same about it.
Buy it again: Probably not
Recommended: Not really

5.     Lakme Lip Love Lip Care: Cherry: (200Rs)
This is a really good lip product, but not a good lip balm. I liked the red tint that it gave to my lips. Most of days I could just use it instead of lipsticks which was good for winters as it provided decent hydration to lips
Buy it again: Probably not
Recommended: if you like tinted lips with light moisturising effect 

6.     Mark & Spencer hand and nail cream: Cocoa butter: (199 Rs)
Loved this had cream and was my savoir in winters finished it in straight 2 months. It moisturised my hands really well plus smells divine. It has a very comforting, nice mild chocolaty smell.
Buy it again: Yes
Recommended: Totally


7.     Lakme absolute skin gloss gel crème: (399 Rs)
 I was using it before winters started it is a good moisturiser for summer gets easily absorbed in skin without feeling heavy on skin and provided good hydration to skin. It’s a good light weight moisturiser with good texture But nothing great or outstanding about this product to mention per say
Buy it again: Probably not, there are other variants from other companies which I might try for summers
Recommended: Give it a try

8.     Neutrogena oil free makeup remover: (365 Rs)
One of my most favourite make up remover of all time. I must have used at least 3 bottles of this. Detailed review of it coming soon.
Buy it again: Yes. Already got the next bottle
Recommended: Totally

9.     Nyassa oudh showers: (349 Rs)
 Awesome smell very fresh like early morning after first rain. Last for around 1-2 hrs. after shower. It cleanses the skin without drying the skin. Overall, a really nice product.
Buy it again: mostly Yes, currently using different variant from Nyassa
Recommended: Totally

10. EverYuth ultra mild apricot scrub: (70 Rs)
A good mild face scrub which does what its suppose to do but nothing out of ordinary. Also some people may find it too mild for their face. Good product if you are just getting hang of scrubs else give it a miss.
Buy it again: No
Recommended: Not Really.

11.Moha soap: Ayurvedic : (Rs 68)
Usually I like soaps with “ayurvedic /herbal smell” but not this one somehow I just dint like it. Okayish product I had high hopes as I had read some good reviews of it, But alas.
Buy it again: No
Recommended: No

So these were few skin care products I managed to finish in last months. Up next is hair care and make up empties.

This was my first attempt at empties please let me know what you think about it also if there are few points that I have missed that I should have covered please let me know.

Constructive criticism is always welcomed. Thanks!!
