The sole reason I bought this was because I saw the word butter written on it, Ya I know sometimes I do crazy stuff, we all do; that’s what makes us Right gals…  

Anyway next thing I did was to Google baba to find out how it works, like we do after all our impulse purchases.After reading the reviews I was really happy that I go this product as most bloggers gave it rave reviews. I used it in lot of different ways but eventually found out how to use it the best.

So without further delay let’s just get right on to it.

Packaging: 

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter comes in a slim aluminium tub with twist lid which goes on securely. The tub is extremely lightweight and flat. All the important information is given at the bottom of the tub. Packaging is very travel friendly. The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter  comes in solid form and one can be assured that there is not going to be any leakage during transit.

Only down side of this packing is that it’s unhygienic as we need to remove the product by scooping it out, which makes sense as the butter is in solid form and no other packing would have been helpful. I use the spatula that came with other product to remove the required product, which easily overcomes problem.

Fragrance: 

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter has very mild & soothing fragrance; and it vanishes the moment you wash it off. It is a boon for people who prefer odourless products.

Texture:

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter has consistency of normal balm similar to vicks vapour rub or petroleum jelly. I was bit sceptical as this comes in thick white paste, but the moment I spread it on my face it melted to oily sort of consistency. In spite of this it comes of easily when you wash your face and doesn't leave any oily residue behind.

All you need to do is massage the balm on you dry face (It works better this way) and it melts your makeup away let it be the smudge proof liner or water proof mascara they all just melt away in matter of seconds making it one of the best makeup remover that I have used .

After that just wash your face with plain to get rid of the muck (I prefer to use face wash just in case). Another plus is. It doesn't make your face feel dry or scratchy, in fact it makes your face feel really soft & nourished.

My Experience:

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter is very similar to the Clinique cleansing balm makeup remover, which is much more expensive and not at all travel friendly due to its bulky packing

I have very sensitive eyes and it water like crazy when I try to remove my makeup, but surprisingly this one did not  irritate my eyes at all.

Although this is a balm/oil cleansing butter, it is a non comedogenic product which means it will not clog you your pores and cause a big breakout. This is safe to be used by all the skin types.

Some of you may feel its bit expensive but the quantity you get justifies the price. Also as only pea size product is required for to clean up the entire face it will last for long time.

I feel this is one of the best makeup remover/Cleansing butter and  I'm completely in love with The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter

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!!

Colgate turning "Good morning" to Gold morning’s!! #Colgate360GoldMornings

Most of my memories of morning are when I used to wake up early for my school or later when I had to get up @ 4 a.m to study for my exams, none the less, I loved waking up and feeling fresh after have a good night’s sleep. Mornings bring with them a promise of new day with new opportunities and adventures.  

Most important part of waking up is brushing your teeth washing your face of last night’s sleep and feeling fresh. We have a rule in our house to brush teeth the moment you wake up, and I have it ingrained in me. My mornings do not start till I have brushed my teeth squeaky clean.

This morning I had interesting delivery at 7.30 in morning, when I had just woken up, half asleep I opened the door to find a delivery guy with huge box from Colgate. I was more surprised when I opened the box to find the contents.


 It had newly launched Colgate 360°Charcoal GOLD Toothbrush along with sturdy golden cup and thermos bottle & Invite. It did make my morning into #Colgate360GoldMornings

Since I’m highly impatient human being first thing I did was use my brush. I love Colgate as a brand, as we have only sued Colgate toothbrush and paste. Currently I’m using Colgate charcoal bristle brush and I really love it, but personally feel Colgate 360°Charcoal GOLD Toothbrush is much better in term of grip and flexibility, also it has really soft bristle. I think it’s the upgrade for charcoal toothbrush.

Also the brush looks really cool with its gold and black color scheme. I have used this brush for almost the week now, and I must say I really like it. I must say Colgate really did change my dull morning into gold morning #Colgate360GoldMornings

Colgate is highly trusted brand hence I had high expectation from this brush and I happy to say it fulfills all of them.

The cup and thermos that came with it are of really good quality and I use the cup every day of every morning coffee. Somehow the brilliant gold color  of the cup  make me feel that I really is a gold morning.  

I’m totally in awe of this brush do try and let me know what you guys think about it.

The city of dreams, My home , My city and much more .. Mumbai!!

Here is the thing about our lives till we don’t lose it we don’t understand how important it is to us. I recently visited Goa for a week for some work. I know, for most of us Goa is equivalent to party but that’s not the case when you have to go there for work. And after staying there was just 1 week I started missing my city: Mumbai, the dream city, city that never sleeps… That is when I realized how much I love this city and how ingrained it is in my life and I’m sure in everyone lives who live here.

There is something surreal about this city that resonates with each and every one who either lives here or even visits it. It’s like a continuously flowing river which encompasses everyone who comes in this city of light.


This is my entry for the Zonal War conducted by Tata Motors (http://madeofgreat.tatamotors.com/) and IndiBlogger, I'm writing about the city im in love with: Mumbai; on 3 broad basis that give the city its heartbeat; Drive, Design, and Connect. 

Drive:

The most important fraction of the city that never sleeps is its mode of transportation or in this case drive. Drive can in terms of roads or also what drives this city and the answer of both is its never tiring people. The main attraction of this city marine drive or nariman point would be just a lonely place without the people spelling live in its nooks and corners.
 
Design:

Mumbai is contradictions and antithesis personified. Here you would find that the richest of the rich share the wall with poor. You would find both slums and skyscrapers side by side coexisting in their own little bubble. You can find beautiful architectural finesse in south Mumbai or popularly known as SoBo towards CST and crampiest slum in Dharavi, still once can find same happiness in the people dwelling in these parts.

Connect:

For anything to grow it needs to have strong network and connections, and Mumbai being the financial capital of India is very well connected in all aspects, from telecom to roadways to railways. Also the people are really well connected. In this city you can feel connected and detached from your fellow beings at the same time. Like I said this city is antithesis personified in every aspect. Mumbai is made by its mumbaikars and their spirit which brings people close during the festivals and also during crises which has been demonstrated through the natural and manmade calamities in past. It is possible for people to feel utterly lost in the city but also meet some distant friend out of blue.


This is Mumbai the city of dreams my city my home and like as everyone feels after returning home I was at ease in its hustle and bustle in no time.

Product Launch Event: Dabur Vatika Jasmine Hair oil: Inddie Blogger Meet

  Hi, Every One..

For any blogger, one of the most important thing is when their work is recognized and appreciated, that is exactly what I felt when I was invited to attend product launch of Dabur Vatika Jasmine nonstick Coconut hair oil for frizz control hosted by Inddie blogger on 10 October 2015 held in Mumbai.


I have never attended any product launch or blogger meet before and this was my very first event with Inddie Blogger, hence I was very nervous but excited to attend it. It was held at BJ hall in Vile Parle west at 11.30 am, theme color for the event was green.

With restless energy and nervousness I reach hall and saw many bloggers waiting near the gate for the registration. Some I knew as I follow them and was quite excited to make acquaintances with them but still very shy. One of the blogger Geeta (Food blogger) actually pulled me into the conversation and introduced me to all her friends, needless to say that once the ice was broken conversations flowed freely.  We clicked lot of photos with our fellow bloggers against the Branded wall and posters.


Registration for the event stared at sharp 11.30 which was very surprising and hats off to the Inddie blogger team for achieving this as I was expecting that the event will start fashionably late.

                          

We were asked to register ourselves and were given Id cards for the event. There was no sitting arrangement and were asked to select our own tables. Event hall was decorated beautifully with round tables and beautiful centre pieces.



Live Band Performance by Inddie Band


Event started with awesome live performance of heavy meatal by Inddie Band. They sang Pink Floyd- We Don’t Need No Education and taught all of us to do head banging. Later they sang poker face by Lady gaga. After this mesmerizing session we were serves cold tender coconut water with dash of lemon grass which was seriously delicious and some mouthwatering starters (All Veg).

Post band session an introduction session was conducted were in many bloggers introduced themselves and their blogs and giving the jest of themselves and their passion for blogging and in their chosen field.

MBA students from NMIS college were also invited for this event to give them practical understanding of how product launches take place which I feel is beautiful act on behalf of Dabur team and kudos to them for thinking this new and innovating way to unveil a product.

Product Unveiling and the science behind the oil….


Before unveiling the product the marketing head of Dabur explained the reason for introducing this hair oils and later the difference between the frizzy and non-frizzy hair was explained by Head of RnD department of Dabur. He also explained how the silicone oils in this product help to control the frizz in the hair, which was very educational.
Dabur Vatika jasmine Hair Oil was unveiled amidst the smoke and light show as the life size bottle of Jasmine hair made an entry on the stage.

 

After the product was revealed there were games (Rock paper scissors with BFF’s in which the winner had to mess up the loser hair, I lost in first round itself, thankfully my partner Rekha dint mess my hair too much, and some spot contests). Some bloggers shared their tips to have beautiful nourished hair, using just natural products.


Lunch

After the event we made our way to the buffet lunch. There was Indian and Italian food and awesome selection of desserts. Their Blueberry cheese cake was to die for…it was so soft and yummy that I just couldn’t help myself and ended up having  2 slices.


Goodies and free Hair Pampering session.

While leaving the hall we were given goody bag. This is wat I received:

1.      Dabur Vatika Jasmine Hair Oil (the new launch)

2.      Dabur Vatika Coconut Hair Oil (the best product by Dabur)

3.      Philips Smooth & Shine Hair Straightener (  gift wrapped in green wrapper )

     


This was followed with oil Champi and hair styling session for bloggers, where in we were given beautiful hair makeover by the stylist.


Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and made some really good friends. This was definitely best way to spend afternoon with strangers that made me realize that I’m a part of loving community.


Thanks Inddie Blogger for hosting such a beautiful event and bringing all the bloggers closer by organizing such beautiful events for us.. Great job..
