Do you love green apples? I do! I love them more than red apples. And no particular reason why. When I received this lip balm for review purposes, it was like a new toy for me. Just like new toys attract kids, so also I would keep this one around me all the time, picking it up, turning it over, opening, applying, closing. The whole process was and still is so much fun. It is that super cute! Read on to know if its adorable looks matched up with a good lip balm's qualities...
Whoever said Yellow Yellow, Dirty Fellow was clearly a pessimist. How could you??
As for me, I usually do not pick up a product for attractive packaging. But on an unplanned visit to a new Reliance Market, this cheery, jolly-looking lemony tube managed to divert my attention and came home with me.
This is my first product from the Joy brand. I am on eye drops currently which blur my vision a bit; so I did not look for the ingredient list at that time. Back home, I realized that it does not have a list. I picked up the smallest size to try out and apparently, only the bigger sized tubes have the ingredient list. Hmmm....
For long, I had been on the look-out for a nice face pack that I could use while travelling. I have used face masks in the past which were not exactly a pleasant experience, mainly because they came off in bits and pieces and not as a peel as I would have liked them to. But even though this was not a face pack but a mask, I just had to buy it for its simple and fuss-free sachet styling . To elaborate how well it fared on my expectations, let me proceed with the review...
I got this whitening/depigmentation cream some time back and you must have also seen it in my haul post (read here). Some of the readers wanted me to review it. It is almost 11/2 months now that I have been using it and would now like to share my experience with all of you. Before that, I would like to know what these companies mean by 'whitening'. Can any skin be white in color? I am not referring to the racial context here. I can think of white as a skin color, only in one condition, and that is if you are an albino. Now that is not something a person would like to be, given a choice.
I had placed an order for the September (and also my first) Vellvette box a week ago and received it today by Aramex courier. In my excitement, I ran and got the scissors and madly tore away all the outer packaging . And what do I see? A black box tied with a pink ribbon! So far, so good. Now let us see what I actually got....
"Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others" - John Mason Brown, late American drama critic. Whenever I apply face pack, Junior has this game kind of thing with me where I have to act like a ghost. I pretend to scare him and he pretends to get scared. I say 'pretend' because these days, the kids do not get scared by ghosts anymore. I am pretty sure that if I see something like a ghost, I will surely faint but not Junior! There is nothing to scare him with! If at all I do try, then he comes up with his old-man wisdom and logic, and then I get scared.
Coming to the face pack, certainly my face had a glow when the pack was on my face. But was there a glow after I washed off the pack??? Let us see...
"Music is supposed to wash away the dust of everyday life" - late Art Blakey, American jazz musician and Grammy Award winner. Come to think of it, that's all a face wash is required to do too i.e., wash away the daily dust and dirt from our face.
I already have a 'gentle' face wash and was actually looking for a replacement for my 'stronger' Lakme Strawberry face wash that I normally use after oiling away my makeup (what's that? Read this post). And, so I bought this face wash with that goal in mind. Now, here is the review....
"Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax"- these are the words of the late German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer. Just as warmth softens wax, a little politeness in your personality adds gentleness and makes you a wonderful human being. As for these facial wax strips, they definitely soften and melt with warmth but are they polite to your skin? Come, follow me and find out....
