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
