Oriflame Tender Care Protecting Balm

May 17, 2012 – 10:52 PM

My mom always prepares cream out of natural bees wax and its just the prefect formulae for chapped lips and feet during harsh winters. But I always avoided that cream when stepping out of the house since it felt very heavy and greasy. Bees wax with oil is a perfect blend for all skin woes in winters. Tender care has been a cult favorite from Oriflame, and I have heard such great reviews about this product that I had to buy this. I picked it up for 50% off from March catalogue and just love it.

Price: Rs. 199 for 15ml

Product Description: Oriflame Tender Care is a totally versatile pot of magic, for the whole body. Based on honeycomb extract and vegetable oils. You can use it on sides of eyes, lips, face, cuticles or any area that is dry, sore or roughened to instantly restore softness. Tender Care can be used for cold sores, cuts, grazes, psoriasis, eczma and other skin conditions.

Ingredient List: PETROLATUM, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUM, CERA ALBA, PARAFFIN, ACETYLATED LANOLIN, CETYL ALCOHOL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, PROPYLPARABEN

My experience: I just love the packaging, its cute, sleek and classy. This is one versatile product can be used for any skin probelm likes chapped and rough skin. I used it as a lip balm under my lip colors, and its felt very light and gets absorbed very fast. Best use for me has to be as cuticle cream, it softened them in a day and I just cant stop using.

What I like:

Its a versatile product for all skin problems,
Very cute and chick packaging,
Very light texture and gets absorbed very easily,

Although its an all rounder but I feel the quantity is quite less, and as lip balm its average as I have met better lip balms. I would surely recommend this cream, its a must for the handbag for those cuticle and lips emergencies.

Have you tried Tender Care ?

Aroma Magic

Aroma Magic Mint Cleanser

May 16, 2012 – 4:28 PM

I love to keep things loaded with peppermint in my bag, specially when summer is here. I have oily and acne prone skin and I mostly stick to my favorite face-washes Clean n Clear & Nivea Visage Oil Control. But I love this cleanser a bit more for its refreshing touch and clove/peppermint aroma.

Price: Rs.115 for 50gm

Details

Aroma Magic Mint Cleanser A 100 % soap free cleanser
It contains light non-oily and anti bacterial active ingredients for rapid and effective cleaning of oily and blemished skin
Removes dirt and make-up, leaving skin fresh and tingling clean
It deep cleanses the pores, removes excess oil and sebum
Its anti bacterial agent helps skin to maintain normal condition and look fresh, clean and healthy
Excellent for oily skin and seborrhea conditions

Additional Information

Moisten the skin then take one-teaspoon of Mint Cleanser with a little water and massage it on the face and neck in upward and outward movements for a few minutes. Remove it with a damp cotton pad and then rinse your face with a splash of water. The cleanser has to be removed thoroughly without leaving any residue. Use morning and night for best results. It contains plant extracts and pure essential oils of peppermint, spearmint, clove, pineapple, sunflower, neem, garlic, juniper, rose, ylang ylang and rosemary.

Contains:

My Experience: I like the aroma of the cleanser, its a very powerful smell of clove and peppermint, helps me opening my eyes and senses in the morning. The texture is very light and fluffy and feels like shaving cream

To use I massage it on my damp face, and then remove it with a muslin cloth in circular movements. But be careful when using this on the eyes as it burned, but slowly now I am used to it. People with sensitive skin please do not use this on the eyes. It removes all makeup and dirt in one application, and leaves me oil free for 4-5 hours.

What I don’t like with AM products is their packaging, although they have revamped their looks, but tub packaging for a cleanser is a big no no for me.

What I like:

I love the aroma, its very refreshing and lifts up my spirits in the morning,
Removes dirt, oil and makeup in one application,
Keeps the skin oil free for 4-5 hours,

What I do not like:

Packaging definitely, for a cleanser its unacceptable,
People with sensitive eyes, may find this a bit strong,

Will definitely suggest this for oily skin and also if you are looking out for something more safe and fresh feel for the skin. I am going to repurchase this again for sure.

Which is your favorite Oil control cleanser ?

Whenever I review a NYX product, I am always amazed by the difference in the Indian & International prices. I always wish someone could get them from US for me, that way I can hoard as much as possible.

FACEFRONT

My Shopping experience: I have to first start with their collection, they had every product and shade. I easily picked up what I wanted. The package was sent using USPS first class mail, which does not have a tracking number, but it reached me in exactly 11 days. Yup 11 days, thats quite surprising for an international package ?

What I shopped:

What I liked:

Low shipping cost,
Fastest delivery period, I am amazed,
Safe and secure delivery,
NYX,Sigma under one roof,

What I did not like:

I wish they have some more brands that we Indians can’t get that easily,

Will totally recommend this to eveyone, looking up for NYX and Sigma stuff at international prices. I am definitely shopping with them for sure.

You can find them here b2nshop, Facebook,

*I used a discount voucher but my opinion is honest
