August haul



 I am on Forest essentials kick these days. I tried their delicate cleanser and Facial ubtan. So,I wanted to explore the brand more. I didn’t have any plans on my mind what to pick. I entered into the store at Phoneix market city, this time I tried their body lotions, all of them were so amazing and I have zeroed down to their Bengal tuber rose lotion. There is no any surprise that a flower and fragrance lover in me picked up this lotion. Apart from that I picked their Jasmine and patchouli night cream. Then as usual at health and glow store I picked Lotus 3 in 1 matte look sunscreen lotion.

NIVEA REPAIR AND BEAUTY LIPBALM REVIEW




Lipbalms were the first skincare/lipcare product ,with which  I have started my makeup horading journey.I suppose many of you also started your vanity kit with a lipbalm or a Kajal.I have tried many lipbalms that is available in India. To start with I have very unmananageble dry and pigmented lips and they go bad in condition even with slight change in weather. So, I need to be careful in taking care of lips. On my recent trip to my hometown,due to cold weather in the early morning my lips got chapped and eventually turns  in to dark lips.I really needed an immediate remedy to solve my problem.I was  advised to apply ghee or butter.but nothing worked on me.Then during usual visit to supermarket for groceries,this lipbalm caught my attention and immediately I grabbed it.

Product description:
                The words”REPAIR AND BEAUTY” on the package attracted me.When opened I could see a two layer of bullet with white inner core and pink external layer.It is so creamy in texture,just melts on lips unlike other lipbalm variants form Nivea.Packaging is so simple and functional for travelling,slip into handbag or for keeping it in bedside.
Price: 149 INR
                I always have a soft corner towards Nivea products from my teenage,my relative visited us from abroad gifted me with a tin of good old blue tin nivea cream,which is still in my like list for its softness and moisturizing property.As soon as I came home I apply this lipbalm on my lips and felt the tingling sensation due to Dexapanthenol in it. I felt little better than before so I started applying it religiously for three days. YES!!!!!it works.I t reformed my badly cracked lips. It definitely goes to my repurchase list and possibly a backup that could be useful while travelling or as a  night treatment for lips.
