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.

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

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..
