All New Himalaya Herbals Revitalising Night Cream and Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream - Yay or Nay

Hi lovelies,

Recently I have completed 6 months of blogging which is quite good feeling and to celebrate with you all I am hosting a giveaway or contest. To know more details click here. (Giveaway details)

Sorry for the delay in post due to some personal reasons and now let's talk about the brand. Himalaya herbals is one of the brand which was one of my initial steps towards herbal skincare. Reasons why I love their products are listed below-
Cost Effective Products
Easily Available
Less Harmful
No tall claims
And their awsome customer services.

So when I get a chance to choose some of their products from their premium range, I choose 3 but they are kind enough that they send me all four. And I will be reviewing their Revitalising Night Cream and Clear Complexion Day Cream at first. I have tried these creams for almost three weeks and my opinion is based upon it.




What attracts attention-  Their all new packaging and revived range which is free from alcohal and parabens

Price - Day Cream- 250 INR
Night Cream- 200 INR
Size/Weight- Both are 50 gm (Available in smaller size too)
Best Before - Almost 3yrs from the date of mfg date / 6 months after opening.

Availability - Easily available online and offline too.

About product- They have revived their products and made it Paraben free.

Ingredients - Night Cream- Refer to the image given below


Day Cream- Refer to the image given below


Effect and Feel
Revitalising Night Cream





This is cream based formula with little thin in consistency, which absorbs easily into skin.  The fragrance is mild and gentle which goes off after 5-10 minutes  of application, this is plus point for me because I am sensitive to strong fragrances. I was using it regularly after cleansing and toning at night in winters, it doesn't feel oily or greasy. It worked as light moisturizer, just small amount is enough. What I feel next morning is hydrated, fresh, soft and supple skin which is in comparison to regular morning tired and dull skin. I tried in summers too but I think it works better in winters as my skin is little oily in summers.


Clear Complexion Day Cream



It is cream based formula which is normal in consistency, neither runny nor thick. Again the fragrance is mild and flowery. This looks like bb cream in color at first glance but after application, it gives you no coverage leaving your skin moisturized. I noticed a slight change in my skin tone after using it for more than 3 weeks.


Packaging-  Packaging of both creams is almost same. Both comes in a glass container with double lid to keep safe from spilling. The outer cover of actual product is a cube paper box with all the necessary information on it. No spatula included, which is think necessary to keep it hygienic when it comes to tub kind packaging.





Pro's

1.  Free from alcohal and parabens.
2. Mild fragrances and non greasy formulation.
3. Easily Available
4. Affordable.
5. Packaging has all the information on it.
6. Works as light moisturisers.

Con's

Not travel friendly due to glass container and should include spatula other than that I didn't find anything which I could include in this section.


Overall View
If you are thinking of introducing night cream in your daily beauty regime, then this can be a good option. Day cream works great as light moisturiser for summers too. 
Recommended.

Rating - 4.5 / 5 

Tip- This is for every skin type, but I would like to suggest if you have oily or combination skin type try it in winters instead of summers. Those who have dry or normal skin can try it anytime.😊

Feel like Diva - Love Necklace Set by Blinglane

Hi lovelies,

This is my first post about jewellery and I am so excited to do that. And I will be sharing about my love for accessories as I always used to add some bling to my outfit from very young age. I remember when I was in school, I used to wear pearl earrings as it goes with every  uniform and a ring was must for me at that time, since then my bond with accessories is getting stronger day by day. So when I get to know about this brand called Blinglane, and checked their website, I was like What?? Is it true?? Luxurious jewellery at so affordable rates.. I like luxury jewellery more and the reason is that you get exquisite designs which looks like you are wearing some real jewellery. And then I couldnt stop myself from placing my order with them, I got it within 2 days.. Wow this is quick and easy too. I didn't have to wait for so long for my order which usually happens if you order something.

Some pictures are below to show you how I style it.. Believe me actual necklace is much more prettier than what you see in pictures.






Packaging-  It comes a classy and elegant cardboard box which is big enough to keep your jewellery safe from any damage during its way to reach you.
When you open it, you will find the box full of white fillers along with a thank you note and the pouch in which your product is placed safely.
I personally like their premium packaging

Lass Naturals Sunscreen Hydro Gel - SPF50+ PA+++ UVA UVB Broad Spectrum

Hi all,
Hope you are all set to ready to beat the summer, so am I.
And I think sunscreen is one of those product which you cant skip specially in summers.
Therefore, I have come up with the review of Lass Naturals Suncreen Hydro Gel with SPF 50+ PA+++. I have already tried Hair Loss Therapy Shampoo and Strawberries & Cream Body Butter from this brand. You can read full review here and here.


What attracts my attention- I thought it was gel as the name suggests read more to know how it goes.

Price - MRP 255 INR
Size/Weight- 50ml / 1.69 fl oz
Best Before - 24 months from mfg / 12 months after opening

Availability - Available online, as i didnt find it anywhere on retail shops so cant comment on offline availability.

About Brand - Lass Naturals products are alternatives to mass produced, synthetic chemical cosmetics. They combine Ayurveda formulation with technology All of their  products are free from Parabens, SLS,  SLES, & Petroleum derivatives and are a blend of rare Indian herbs and essential oils.

Ingredients - Rose Water, SunCat DE™, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis), Olivatis 15™ (Olive Oil Glycereth-8 Esters), FUCOGEL™* (Biosaccharide Gum-1), Licorice Ext.(Glycyrrhiza Glabra), Mulberry Ext.(MorusAlba Ext.), Twin 20 (Polysorbate 20), Fragrance (Perfume), Euxyl K 510™(DMDM-Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone), BiopolU-21™(Carbomer), Triethanolamine .

Texture & Effect- This sunscreen is off white in color with thin in consistency. It is made up with natural active ingredients which gives protection from  UVA and UVB rays. It has 50+ SPF, which added a major advantage to it. I am always  skeptical about using new products on my face, but as it is water based and made with active natural ingredients so I didnt need to worry much. And I love applying it and the reason you want to know?? It dries out quickly in comparative to those I tried and tested earlier. The fragrance is not so pleasant but as far it is not so strong, I am okay with that. This is a creme formula with water based  but as the name suggests it could be  formula, I find the product name is little misleading.


Packaging-  It comes in a white color plastic bottle with pump and a transparent sturdy cap to cover it. Packaging is totally travel friendly and sleek, which makes it easy to carry even in your small handbag. The label has all the necessary information imprinted on it. Overall packaging is just the way it should be and i think pump does the work properly to provide just the right amount needed.




Pro's
1. Made with 100% naturally active ingredients, water based formula.
2. 100% Vegetarian and not tested on animals.
3. Suitable for oily and acne prone skin.
4. Comes in a pump which keeps it hygienic.
5. It has SPF 50+, UVA PA+++, UVB Broad Spectrum.
6. Affordable, Travel friendly and fits into even a small handbag.
7. Quick absorbing formula, which feel light like nothing on skin.
8. Paraben free & mineral oil free formula.

Con's

1. Name of the product is little misleading, it should be named as Lass Naturals Sunscreen Hydro Cream insead of Sunscreen Hydro Gel .
2. I didnt like its fragrance.
3. Available online only.


Overall View
I didnt like its fragrance and actual product is little differ from what the name suggests. But if you are looking for a  safer option with natural ingredients, you can try this out. Its is just OK product.

Rating - 3.9 / 5

Do tell if you like it or not, I would be happy to know that. And you can  also tell what else you are using to keep sun at bay.
I will be back with next post soon, till then tc &

The carton is itself so beautiful, that I could stop myself from opening it quickly.
