The original Vaseline



It’s not original, if it’s not 
Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly”

Is your skin feeling dry even after applying Vaseline Petroleum jelly? Does it leave your skin looking rough and bruised? So are you using the original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly? Nowadays the market is flooded with cheap products that look like the originalVaseline® Petroleum Jelly and are available at cheaper prices. But these moisturizers only last for a short time, making the skin drier which can cause more harm than good to your skin.




The Original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly is a combination of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes, which makes it translucent and gives it a smooth texture. It goes through a three step purification process, which involves hydrogenation to remove chemical purities in the jelly. Further, it undergoes double filtration to remove the finest unwanted particles, thus making it the purest and smoothest form of jelly.

Dry skin is caused by the loss of moisture in the layers of the skin, which happens every second of the day due to exposure to harsh chemicals and rough weather conditions. Fake products use either Glycerine or Menthol, which moisturizes only the top layers of the skin for a short term and eventually leaves your skin dry and dehydrated.

The Original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly is absorbed rapidly into the skin and provides even moisturization through all three layers of the skin, locking in the skins natural moisture and helping it to repair itself from within naturally. It also forms a protective barrier on the surface of the skin to avoid the damage that is caused by harsh weather and polluted environments, thus resulting in soft and supple skin all day long.  Original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly is your ultimate skin expert, boasting of multiple skin uses. It’s not just a body moisturizer but can also be used as a night cream, make-up remover, to protect against nappy rash, minor bruises, post shaving etc. to name a few.  

Always, buy the Original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly after testing its four unique identification marks, i.e. the Original Vaseline logo in Blue and Silver, the triple purification seal, the pure skin jelly trademark and the correct spelling “VASELINE”. 

The Original Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly is available in three variants across all retail outlets pan India. So rush to your closest outlet to buy the Original Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to get healthy and glowing skin!

Going down memory lane :)

I really value all the things in my life because each of them has a different sentiment attached with it and I like reviving the moments they happened to be an important part in my life...
Being Emotional is an absolute under statement for a girl like me and I love telling stories (you have to ask people close to me for that,,I kinda make them sit forcefully and make them listen to my banter ;) ;) yup one of the ill-effects of knowing me ;) ,,,) so sit back as I am going on a short memory lane from my life to your screen :)


I love Angels :) ,, I have few angels in my life who love me unconditionally and their affection towards me is completely pious. I love them and live to see them smile :)
These figurines are all given to me by at different moments in my life and the one at the top on the left is the closest to my heart,,this angel framed my life beautifully the dame it came in my life. All these signifies different emotions and I take care of them more than I do of my own.
These are only few of them as the rest of them are not with me at the moment,,but I love them too :)



This beautiful purse set was bought from Japan and I am deeply attached to it because of the days it reminds me of..the beautiful people and even more beautiful times.






This scarf is uniquely special to me and I had little tears in my eyes when it was given to me just because of the pure love it had in it and the smile of the person at that moment who gifted me this lil something special. Its very very pretty :) and even more special..



 The ones who know me knows how much I love using different purse/hand bags all the time. In one of the shopping spree I had with my loved one I was in search of a small bag with a long strap ( ticket conductor bag in other words,, ;) ..) I checked some 20 stores and some 200 bags and didn't find the one I wanted and then finally after a long long search I got this one from Holli , this brand is available in Lifestyle I suppose,,I am not so sure because after buying this ,both of us ran through the entire mall to the parking lot to get to our car as we were getting so damn late,,he he won't forget that day like EVER,, I love my Ticket Conductor bag so much,, <3 :)




This pair of earrings were bought when I was in 9th standard,,a new shop had opened in the market near my house and that shop was so dear to me as it was full of stuff I loved . On one fine day I had gone to one of my friend's house and on my way back went to that shop "FRAGRANCE" just like that,, my eyes glued on this pair of earrings,, I really really liked it.... I had never bought anything on my own at that age so  buying it on my own was a big deal for me, it costed me 40 bucks,, I still remember.
 Nevertheless I bought it and went home and  showed it to my maa who loved it more cos I had bought something on my own   for the very first time,, This was my first buy and even today I look out for it in my earring drawer :) ,, I love it and I am going to keep it safe till I live because it is indeed special.
                                

Sharing all my emotions here is slightly difficult but I value and love everything I have. 
I love them all and also the people and the stories behind them.

Thanks,, :)

Lush Angels On Bare Skin ~ cleanser/scrub for all skin types

Ok, If there is one thing that I use to scrub/clean my face apart from normal face wash then it is this,,it will I guess "always" be this unless something even better comes out or I come to know about it :)

Lush Angels On Bare Skin ~ cleanser/scrub for all skin types 

Lush Angels On Bare Skin ~ cleanser/scrub for all skin types 


What Lush has to say about " Angels On Bare Skin"

Angelic and medieval cleansing wash with rose and lavender. Angels on Bare Skin is the Lush version of an expensive medieval skincare recipe. Rare, precious essential oils were first brought to Europe by the crusaders who encountered Arabian medicine. They were immediately banned by the church because their ability to alter states of mind was considered the devil's work! But the final result was Cosmetics 1, Church 0. Rose oil and lavender oil were discovered to do wonderful things for the skin, too. Almost a thousand years later you'd be hard pressed to find a better all round cleanser and exfoliator than Angels.


How to use it :

Dampen your face with warm water. Place a pea sized chunk in the palm of your hand and add water to create a paste. Apply to your face using small, circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. For rest results follow with the LUSH toner and moisturizer that best suit your skin type.
Ingredients :
  • Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis),
  •  
  • Glycerine,
  •  
  • Kaolin,
  • Water (Aqua),
  •  
  • Lavender Oil (Lavandula hybrida),
  •  
  • Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia),
  •  
  • Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria Chamomilla),
  •  
  • Tagetes Oil (Tagetes minuta),
  •  
  • Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax tonkinensis pierre),
  •  
  • Lavender Flowers (Lavendula hybrida),
  •  
  • *Limonene,
  •  
  • *Linalool
    What it has done for me :
    I have a slightly sensitive skin and had acne problem for around 2 years but now thanks to THIS I am acne free now,, so I really think ten times before buying any cosmetic for my face as I do not want to make any mistake for my skin at this point in my life. 
    Anything that has the world Angel associated with it catches my fancy in a second and same happened with this cleanser,,I did lil research before buying it and I am glad I did. It really works wonder for my skin and after using it I feel like my face is squeaky clean, not even a single trace of dirt remains on my face. 
    It comes in a small tub and seeing it your first impression can be quite ,,ummm,,,,blahhh!! yep this is what I did but since its Lush I had faith in it.
Lush Angels On Bare Skin ~ cleanser/scrub for all skin types 
    Only a small amount (as seen in the pic) is required to clean your face and neck at a time. You really have to squish the product in your palm and make a paste with water to apply it on the face. Massage in circular motions all over your face and neck to get optimum results.
    Do not use it extremely close to the eyes.
    Ok now this one not only cleanses my face very well but also moisturize it nicely. I have never experienced any strecthy feeling on my face after applying this even in winters. This has never caused any acne on my face and I give all my love  to it for not doing that.
    I use it every other day , but depending on your skin type you can use it daily too. The fragrance it has is like you are smelling herbs in the jungle :D yup but it disappears fast as soon as you wash it off with water. 
    Always store this one in a cool and dry place and screw the lid tightly after using it.
    After using this you can tone your face and then moisturize it with your normal moisturizer. I skip the toner part here but yes I do use my moisturizer for sure.
    Recommendation : yes please for everyone,,for girls having slight acne issue you can try it too :)
    Personally speaking when I had Acne on my face only this thing saved me and worked wonders ,,I swear by it,,  check it out HERE ,,

Colorbar Lip Pencil/ Crayon ~ Nude Pink 007 ~ Review, Pictures and Swatches

Colorbar Lip Pencils/ Crayons have a varied range of shades and out of all I fell for Nude Pink 007, perfect shade for a lip pencil beginner like me who is scared to use dark shade liners ,,still,, yup still,,
Ok,,this is the one any one can safely buy it and not think about it matching their lipsticks or not because of the neutral soft browny pink color it has,, In my opinion its one of those shades which will suit anyone and can be used under any lipstick.

Colorbar Lip Pencil/ Crayon ~ Nude Pink 007 ~ Review, Pictures and Swatches

I like to draw the outline of my lips with this pencil and then lightly fill in the lips if I am going to wear any sheer color.
It really goes with 80-90% of my lipsticks and this is the reason I will recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Colorbar Lip Pencil/ Crayon ~ Nude Pink 007 ~ Review, Pictures and Swatches
The shade is very soft pinkish brown and goes on smoothly on the lips.
Its very creamy and doesn't need any tugging or pulling on my lips at all.

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon face and body gel scrub ~ Review and Pictures

Ok , it smells delicious :) I love oranges and the aroma of spices being used in kitchen is one of my favorite fragrances in the whole wide world..so when I saw this face and body gel scrub I was like awww Fab India lubs me so much :D
yeah LOL,,

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon face and body gel scrub ~ Review and Pictures



Whats this product is all about :

Orange and Cinnamon face and body gel scrub. Our body and face gel scrub, especially formulated for daily use is made with natural active ingredients. It gently exfoliates the skin leaving you feeling refresh and invigorated all day long.

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon face and body gel scrub ~ Review and Pictures


Directions for use :

Apply a scoop of the scrub to the wet skin and gently massage all over the body in circular motion, focusing on rough skin areas. Rinse and clean thoroughly.

An important note :

Natural ingredients may cloud or separate, this does not effect the quality or efficacy of the product.

Fab India Orange and Cinnamon face and body gel scrub ~ Review and Pictures


My take on this gel scrub :

Living in North India especially in winters ensures that not only you enjoy misty early mornings but also dry skin :) I tend to get my skin dry around the knuckles on my hand, my feet and around my little button like nose  :D , so for all these areas I am reaching out to this gel scrub ,,well not exactly for my face but yes the rest of body for sure. The reason being I am too scared of using/experimenting with scrubs on my face. I only use one and will review that super soon,, its effective and simply too good.
So, this gel scrub smells of orange and spices at the same time,,I use a little scoop of it and massage it on the desired area after wetting it. The gel gets absorbed in my skin quickly and its the cinnamon particles and some  micro orange molecules that is left upon and works as a scrub.
The areas where I use it are definitely getting less n less dry with continue usage and the after effects is nice and smooth skin surface.
After cleaning it off with luke warm water I lather some moisturizer and my skin is all happy and shiny :)

word of caution : I have not used it all over my face yet, just on my nose so I am not sure whether it works good for facial skin or not but yes my feet and hands definitely loves this :)

Net content : 100 ml

Price : 225 INR
Shelf Life : 18 months

Recommendation : yes please, its not my favorite among all but yes definitely 9/10 on being effective.

Scrub which I love for my face coming right after this :)

Ponds Age Miracle ~ Anti Ageing Tinted Moisturizer ~ Sheer Ivory 01 ~ Photos, Review and Swatch

Ok, this one  doesn't work for me baby!!
 For all those girls who want a nice smooth looking face without applying foundation or any other stuff then this is the product.
The moment my maa saw it, she was like Anti Ageing at 22!!! don't act like a fool!! and sorts,,
well even I am not so sure whether I need an Anti Ageing product at this age or not, In my opinion this is not something that I am pretty recommending to everyone in general.
Neither do I know myself when to start using anti ageing stuff (age wise or skin requirement wise) , yeah,, I am not sure,,,cos neither my age wants it nor my skin condition..touch wood**

But apart from my debacle of using it ryt now or not,  this is a fab product, I know its been reviewed a gazillion time but still I can't keep quiet and not say when I really want to say something.

Ponds Age Miracle ~ Anti Ageing Tinted Moisturizer ~ Sheer Ivory 01 ~ Photos, Review and Swatch

It comes in a cute n very small hard plastic bottle with a nozzle at the top. The thing is that it works as a fab base for your skin, the moisturizer is tinted so its gives ur skin enough coverage (medium) , moisturizing aspect in this product in very very good, I mean you don't need more than a pea size amount and your entire face is moisturized quiet well.

Ponds Age Miracle ~ Anti Ageing Tinted Moisturizer ~ Sheer Ivory 01 ~ Photos, Review and Swatch

The coverage is also nice, it will lighten your blemishes n spots and makes your face look very smooth and clear.
The fragrance is also nice, very mild :)

Ponds Age Miracle ~ Anti Ageing Tinted Moisturizer ~ Sheer Ivory 01 ~ Photos, Review and Swatch
The shades available are

Sheer Ivory
Sheer Honey
Sheer Beige

The one I bought is Sheer Ivory and still it is quiet dark for my skin tone, so I guess allot of room for improvement is available in this aspect.

Well, I don't know much about the right time for starting anti ageing products, I bought it cos everyone was talking about it but now I repent on my decision  for not using my brain that time,,

ummm,, ok I need a normal Tinted Moisturizer and not an Anti-Ageing one for sure,

I have tried cajoling my Maa to use it but,,naah she doesn't,,she dislikes using cosmetics n stuff,, so its lying here in my dresser,, a good product sitting idle in my dresser depresses me :|

But overall it is a brilliant product , sticks to its claim, is very affordable,,actually there is nothing like not liking it apart from the *anti-ageing & not enough shades available* part ,,

Do try it if you really need it,, :) you will love it,, I have a love-hate kinda thing with it at the moment.

Price : 215 INR

Quantity : 30 ml

Recommendation : yes please if you are ok with the anti ageing aspect :)

Thanks
