Bonorganic French Creme Rosa

Hi girls,

Hope everyone is doing well and I m good too. This time I have come up again with another organic and natural brand. In Northern India many people are not aware of this brand called Bonorganic, but it is more popular in Southern India. Basically this is manufactured in Tamilnadu.
Bonorganics has a wide range of products in different departments. They have shampoos, soaps, creams, handwash, face wash, insense sticks etc. And I am going to review their French Creme Rosa here. This is a cream with all the natural ingredients.


What attracts my attention- Roses and other natural ingredients which is safe to use.

Price - 395 INR
Weight / Size - Original product is 25gm but including packaging 100gm
Best Before - 23 months from the date of manufacturing

Availability- You can order it from their website www.bonorganics.com and it is available on organic retail shops too.

Ingredients - Basically all the natural ingredients available for more details refer to the pic shown below.


Texture and Effect- This French Creme is extremely fragrant. I found the fragrance is much like a mix of roses plus betel, which is very soothing and relaxing. The texture feels little heavy and sticky at first but as you massage it on your skin, it becomes light and completely absorbed into the skin and leaves a pleasant fragrance behind with soft and moisturized skin. And it stays up to 5-6 hours.



Packaging - It comes in a crystal clear cube shaped glass jar with black lid on it. It has twist and open mechanism with all the necessary details at the bottom. There is another leak proof lid of plastic inside it to protect it from any spill.




Pro's

1. All the natural ingredients included, which is safe to use.
2. Online and offline availability.
3. Fragrance is soothing and relaxing which gives you fresh feel all the time.
4. It makes your skin moisturized and soft.
5. Necessary details are mentioned on the product.
6. Glass jar makes it more hygienic and keeps it away from any contamination.
7. Infused with goodness of different essential oils and rose petals.

Con's

1. Packaging is not durable and heavy too due to glass container, handle with care.
2. This might be expensive for few, I means 395 INR for 25gms is not affordable at all.
3. I feel offline availability is less in comparison to Southern part of India.

Overall View

If you are an organic products lover and price is not an issue for you, you can give it a try. It is definitely a safer option with cooling properties. I really liked it.

Rating- 4.5 / 5

Tip- Applying creams at night is as necessary as applying cream in day time. Keep it moisurized all the time.

I will be back soon with another post, till then keep enjoying seasonal dishes and don't forget Keep Adding Oomph. Tc

Fuschia Tropical Alphanso Lip Balm

Hey girls,

I am back with another review and this is for Fuschia's Tropical Alphanso Lip Balm. If you are regular reader of my blog, then you must be aware of this brand. Infact my last post was about another product from this brand and that is about Crystal Rose Bath Salt by Fuschia. So I think this time no introduction required.


This is the first time I am using any handmade and chemicals free lip balm.
There are four other variants available in this, i.e Plush Peach, Choco Butter, Black Current and Pomegranate Pink.

What attracts my attention- I never tried any chemicals free lip balm, so I thought of giving it a shot.

Price- 225 INR but available at discounted rate as of now.
Weight / Size - 8g / 0.28oz
Best Before- 30 months from the date of mfg

Availability - Available online only on major ecommerce websites in India.

Ingredients - Refer to the pic shown below.


Texture, Effect and Staying Power - This lip balm has mango fragrance as the name suggests, this melts instantly after application. I feel little bitter because of castor oil in it, it doesn't feel comfortable on lips also, which I personally don't like. The fragrance fades away after a while but moisturizing effect stays for good 3-4 hours, you need to apply it again after that. This is a colorless lip balm, so guys can also try. Yes it heals my dry lips and make them soft.


Packaging- It comes in a round transparent box with brand and product name on it. No other information is available on the packaging, but this brand is sending square shape small papers along with it for all the other information needed, which is quite different.


Pro's
1. 100% vegan and natural.
2. All natural ingredients with goodness of Shea butter, Kokum butter and Vitamin E.
3. It can be used by Men also, reason- It is colorless.
4. Available in 4 other fragrances.
5. Free from paraben, petroleum base, artificial tints and synthetic perfumes which gives you a safe option to choose from.
6. Easily available on various shopping websites.
7. It heals and moisturize lips.

Con's
1. Feels little bitter and fragrance fades away within an hour.
2. Staying Power can be better.
3. Packaging is just ordinary.
4. I think all details related to product should be on product only.
5. I feel it is little high on price.

Overall View

This lip balm doesn't do wonders for me but if you are looking for a safer option, you can try it.

Rating- 3 / 5

Tip- Drink water as much as you can in winters too, it will keep your skin hydrated.

Tc, till then
Keep Adding Oomph
