Nature's ESSENCE {Aromatherapy Beauty Solutions} Coco Facial Kit (review)

As you can see from the picture it says : "...Pamper your senses with smooth seductive skin.."


Its got 4 things inside this little box  which you use as step by step and the instructions are given in the box :


Step 1: Choco Cleanser - With Mulberry
Step 2: Choco Scrub - With Peach & Nut
Step 3: Choco Cream - With Postachio 
 Step 4: Choco Pack - With Almond


Now all these steps describes as if its some READY TO EAT CHOCOLATE BAR in a FACIAL KIT! Thats what made me laugh and curious cause a chocolate facial sounds so nice so I bought this baby home with me. 


This little costs for Rupees : 125 


You can get this anywhere in India at any local cosmetic stores. 









  


This is how it looks like. 



Step 1: Choco Cleanser - With Mulberry
My experience : It felt nice. The smell of coco blasts off on you face for sure and it was an OK OK kind of cleanser.



Step 2: Choco Scrub - With Peach & Nut
My experience : The scrub when i saw it i wasn't that sure cause of the NUTS which was in it. I thought it might pinch my face/or poke it but I was wrong!! The SCRUB is the best part about this Coco Facial Kit! Just by first use my skin felt so nice and amazingly soft and an instant glow after washing it off. I might repurchase this KIT only for the scrub thats for sure!

5stars for the scrubs cause it was the best part about this KIT.


Step 3: Choco Cream - With Postachio
My experience : Again the cream was an OK OK feel for me. 


Step 4: Choco Pack - With Almond
My experience : This face pack is bullshit if you ask me (lol). Its not that it harmed my face or i got any side effects. Nothing like that... the only thing I for myself I felt that it did nothing at all. Its easy to apply and its like a clay mask but I couldn't see any difference by using this face pack. It smelled nice but Its NOT bad.. its just that I HAD HOPES AND IT LET ME DOWN in other words. 


Over all : I might repurchase this because No.1 the SCRUB i loved and second coco facial is an O.K facial kit for those girls slumber party kinda moments for a glow to ur face kinda kit. 

Don't expect this kit to make ur face look naturally flawless cause thats nothing in this kits. Its a INSTANT one day glow face kinda kit which u can use 3times or so with this amount u get in it. 


Thanks for reading,

Bath & Body Works : Enchanted Orchid Body Lotion

This was introduced to me by my Bua(my father's elder sister) who lives in the states and she gets me Bath and Body Work lotions when ever she comes so I am always excited when she comes here. Its funny cause we all get excited for our family/friends who comes from the states cause we all know that they bring foreign goodies! haha. 





                                                                  8 FL OZ/ 236 mL

First of all, its a BATH & BODY WORKS product and their stores aren't in India so it will be very tuff to find these products here. So, for that we have shops here and there who sells imported stuff in their own prices to gain little bit of profit of their own which is ok as long as they don't F cheat us.

I am from Delhi so I know where I got this from and I will be happy to share it with you guys :).

There are 2stores located in G.K 1 M BLOCK MARKET

1. Kunchals
M-14, GREATER KAILASH - 1,
NEW DELHI
PH ; 29232474, 29232863

2.Goyal Stores
M-2, G.K-1 M BLOCK MARKET,
NEW DELHI - 110048
PH ; 46538578
        9871316221

And now I must WARN YOU  that both the shops have different prices so before getting anything better check ur prices with both the shops cause what I found out was shocking! That same lotion in Kunchals was for 985Rupees but in Goyal stores it was for 675rupees!!

Now, of course I got it from Goyals stores and would continue getting it from there lol.

But the Kunchals on the other hand has many varieties of imported goods in their store so it all depends on what you are looking for and what you r willing to pay to get that stuff in the end.



As you can see the lotion is little bit of thick but when you apply it all over your body (which I did) the whole body feels the moisture and your skin feels very very smooth and soft (which mine did XD) and the moisture locks in for 5-6hrs which is preety damn good!



It comes in a squeeze like bottle with this kind of cap so that whatever amount u need, u squeeze it and apply wherever you want to :).



Oh the smell is AMAZING!! Thats what I love about the BATH & BODY WORK products is their scents. They come in variety of scented body lotions,body butters, show gels and etc! I love love love the enchanted orchid scent in this body lotion!  Better open the cap and sniff it first before buying it :)!

Thanks for reading and Have a nice day!

Review : Hand and Nail cream

MARKS AND SPENCER (COCA BUTTER AND VANILLA) Vs. Healthy Hand&Nail cream by Vaseline



Vaseline Hand Cream = first of all this hand cream was for Rs.50/-

Packaging itself is cute with the whole pink color

The quality of the cream is OK and the smell is kind of remind of those grandma kinda cream smell. I dunno, its just that when I smell this .. it feels mature kinda cosmetic smell. Which i am not comfortable with :). Over all when I apply this cream and then wait for few seconds it absorbs right into my skin making my hand feel soft for few mins and that is it! The moisture is kind of not nice in this cream. It just makes the hands soft but not soft for long on top of that the smell itself is bad for my liking and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone to get this. But the price itself its ok for those emergency  hand creams if u run low on ur pocket. Cause its not Bad but neither Good I would say. Its somewhere in between! 



MARKS & SPENCER (COCOA BUTTER AND VANILLA) Hand and Nail cream = I bought this cream long time back that too on discount so I don't remember the exact price on this one but I am sure I got this with in 300rupees. 

Packaging is OK but what I don't like about this one is that to open it u have to screw it open rather then one of those which u see in the vaseline cap in the photo.

The smell is lovely when u apply it on ur hands it is smooth with full of moisture and makes the hands feel soft for a long run. 

Its got COCOA BUTTER which is a plus point cause COCOA BUTTER is something which is very very very good for the skin. I noticed that my nails started growing healthy and doesn't chips off easily now and nails grow lil bit faster then before which is cool. 







Now comparing both the hand creams I would say the MARKS AND SPENCER hand cream is for the WIN!

But for a 50rupees vaseline hand cream is an OK product too.

But I will repurchase the MARKS AND SPENCER ONE for sure :)

Thanks for reAding my blog and come again!

Have a nice day : xoxo

FACE MASKS AND MOVIES!

Hiiiii my readers who ever you are! Where ever u are! My boyfriend had come from Chandigarh to visit me and we went to watch 2movies in those 2 days we had for us to spend time together :). So, First we watched DATE NIGHT which OH MY GOD!! The most funniest movie ever after a very long time which made me laugh like hell and seriously it was like my eyes were watering and i was laughing and oh my goddddddddddddd..! It was worth going to the movie hall and watching it. Me and my boyfriend loved it!


If u haven't watched it thn plz plz plz check it out the trailer in youtube and go watch it while its still there in the movie halls :)!






Andddddddddd... the second movie that we watched 




CLASH OF THE TITANS (2010) movie.


Its the remake of the CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981) movie and before watching the remake of the movie I made sure to watch the first movie first which i did thanks to youtube tht i watched the movie online and damn, the first movie CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981) was damn good but when i watched the CLASH OF THE TITANS (2010) movie .. both are not exactly same but it was worth watching both the movies! 
















XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX






I did little bit of shopping also. I'm a big fan of The Body Shop products and seriously,most of their stuff is really good. 


I bought their The Body Shop Moisture White Hydrating Mask


















I got like 10% discount on this cause of the body shop's membership card. Will write a review on it soon cause I only applied it once on my face so i wanna be sure of everything and type down my feelings abt this product :).


http://www.thebodyshop.in/product_detail.php?prod_id=679&cat_id=4&sub_cat_id=47 


this is the Indian website for this product. 


Oh plus, I went to this other store called FabINDIA! and got this PAPAYA FACE MASK which I applied it once and it was kind of a clay type kinda mask and seriously, I'v got a combination skin and when I applied it the after effects was that it made my skin feel dry so the thing this that this mask when u wash it off u need a good moisturizer for ur face to get that dry feeling off. 


Here are the pics!




This i got it for rupees>> 275/-

It makes u feel all burning from the inside while u apply this mask and thn cool after 5 mins and yes, it feels all fire but that doesn't mean ur face would turn red cause of it.. cause my face looked the same as it was but clean after this mask application was over. 

Would I suggest people to consider trying this mask >> NO!! 

I only got this cause I thought wow PAPAYA sounds nice and cool but NOOOOOOOOO!!! This mask wasn't even orange color <_<.. U knw the papayas look awsome with their smells and color orangy but this mask looked no where close to papaya.. it looked all clay kinda mask.. very creamy... easy to apply.. spreads on ur face easy-ly but NOOO! DON'T EVEN TRY IT! 

But anyways 

Happy Face Mask To You! 


Bye Bye ^_^!

The Body Shop, LOVE ETC... Eau De Parfum (50ml)



I was with my boyfriend (Ishaan Gogna) and it was my birthday on 9th jan and we went for birthday shopping and Dad gifted me some cash for my birthday and first thing first WAS MAC but after that THE BODY SHOP cause I tried this perfume few days back and I really wanted this one on my birthday cause I really really loved this!! 

So, as you can see I got it and I am in LOVE LOVE LOVE with it! (P.S >> My boyfriend also gifted me a perfume which is from Calvin Klein which I will post later on after I finish with this)

This perfume was for Rupees >> 1995/- for 50ml (which is the biggest one they had) 

There was no discount in this one but whatever I love this perfume. Im more into fruity and floral scents which lingers for a long time meaning strong but not that strong. 

I would really suggest you guys to at least try it out at THE BODY SHOP and see how you like it as everyone has different opinions on scents and specially don't forget to spray it on your wrist and then smell it after 10mins and see the difference and decide if it suites you or not :).


I just hope they don't stop discontinue making them cause I loved their Vanilla perfume which they discontinued which really made me all sad but LOVE ETC... is good! ^_^




As you can see the bottle is so cute cute cute!






That much I have used and I feel like I might finish it up soon thats why I am hoping they don't discontinue making this lovey scent!





THE BODY SHOP logo 







I really like the whole packaging :)

PEACE NOW

With loads of love,

Maybelline Nail Polish (LARANJA CITRICO)










Maybelline's Colorama (Artistica) color name > LARANJA CITRICO

Its orange in short and when I was in the make up counter this little baby really caught my eye and with out a second thought I bought this nail color.

What I like about Maybelline nail color is tht its affordable and the quality is superb!

Rupees >> 75/-

Double cots of this stuff and your ready to flaunt it anywhere and any time and blah blah blah XD.







I love colors as I have love for ART and nail color is fun and awesome and should experiment with it and enjoy those vibrant colors that we have everywhere and its really is fun showing it off with nail colors! I'm always in search for a different color when ever I go out for shopping but sadly in India there aren't that many nail color varieties over here but still the simplest color does wonders and thats the fun part in the end :).



Until next time,
with loads of love!

The Dream/2010..

It feels like this year is going to be more weird then ever... Cause I feel so...

I had a dream.. a scary one.. and surprisingly very clear too.. I lived with few people who were homely and they had a white dog who was friendly.. It all started when I was attending one of the kid's party.. they were small kids.. and there was a granny looking kinda woman.. the whole house was kinda big with three rooms.. then i realized as i was in one of the woman's room... its one of mt family member's house... in east delhi... but the old woman was different... people were different.. and suddenly some white stuff started coming out of the kid's mouth and one of the granny woman started acting all weird and sharp white teeth started coming out... and the kids the same. They started biting each other.. blood... and the kids were playing with sharp knives.. and the kids started biting one of granny's legs.. and she was enjoying it.. I saw all this and freaked out!

I started looking for the exit.. wanted to run away from all this horror... well who wouldn't wanted to run away from it after seeing all this! I saw the back door and went for it.. those guys saw me and the started to transform into wild big.. huge canine monsters... I started to run but had no option but to go up the stairs rather then the exit which was blocked by them! Stairs took me towards the roof where i saw an old man who was the husband of that granny old woman... he looked all innocent and old.. very tall.. and yet little bit gentle.. he had a worried mixed with scared look and said, "Please jump through here and follow the path where big fences are.. the jungle's exit will take u to ur safety and for that safety u have to be very very careful cause these creatures are more in the jungle.. and be careful not to be scratched or bitten by them... as its a virus which will make u one of them.."

Suddenly, I heard sounds of growling.. it was them... standing behind us ready to attack... and the old man said,"Hurry!" and he pushed me and i fell inside the jungle as for him.. the old man used himself as a bate to save me... tears came out.. feeling scared/sorrow... and not safe at all when i arrived at the jungle... and this jungle wasn't the usual type of jungle.. inside there was a small village.. and there was loads of bath of blood on the trees... flesh here and there... the smell of death... and as i walked.. i heard the sounds of their growling which really made me run after that..

and suddenly i saw a huge big white colored simple but modern house.. with lavish white sofas.. there were people with clean clothes...sitting in the garden... have a nice time it looked like that.. and then they saw me... and they smiled.. and starting waving at me as i was standing there.. and i saw huge transparent glass walls... and one of it opened like a door... as they were inviting me in... and then i took my chance and i went inside.. and when i entered i was shocked to see myself suddenly in clean clothes... no blood.. nothing dirty.. and there was a drink in my hand.. and it all felt so clean.. i wasn't tired anymore... and these people hugged me as if i was a part of them... and suddenly a white dog started running towards us.. and he was just a plain simple white colored dog.. jumping like a normal dog..

end of dream part 1


and I woke up.. i checked my cellphone and it showed 5am.. so i had another 1-2hrs to sleep.. plus was shocked to have a dream like that.. started thinking if this was the future of our mankind.. or was it some other part of the world in some other part of the universe.. connecting us through our dreams to their realities?! Don't know.. but thn i fell asleep.


Surprisingly, I came back to that same house! (this i realized after the second time i woke up). We all gathered up to make a plan how to kill these kind of creatures.. monsters as i would say.. it all of a sudden... suddenly we were climbing trees planning to attack from the above... as they told me that the symptoms of these creatures in developing is by OUR HUNGER.. OUR CRAVINGS TO BITE THE HUMAN FLESH... IF WE BITE THEN WE DON'T FEEL LIKE STOPPING.. AND WHEN THEY START.. THEN THEY REALLY RIP THE WHOLE BODY APART.. AND IT CONTINUES LIKE THAT... AND NO ONE IS SAFE IN FRONT OF THESE CREATURES..


We in the end couldn't kill them all.. but could keep them trapped in the jungle.. as no one could get out of it... and we all were in the house.. resting... was kind of like a family get together kind of event... and then there was this white dog... so weird.. as the dog started licking my feet... and the next thing i got a bite.. and from a bite it was pain.. and some poison kind of a venom suddenly injected on my bitten leg ... spreading..

End of the dream..

And i woke up again.. and this time shocked as how can I dream of this second time.. the whole house was a trap.. thats what i felt.. I guess in the end i really got stuck in the jungle... after all..

I hate these kind of dreams.. its scary..

Anyways, do tell me how u liked the dream and what u guys thought about the whole thing.

Thanks for reading!
