The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil, The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Shower Creme

I love using a bath oil though these days I am more interested in body lotions and butters since winter needs extra care. Also, I have noticed that oil gets a little greasy on the skin and leaves a dirty layer behind which I do not like. So, I shifted to body butter. I am also planning an interesting DIY. Lets see if it comes through.

Did You Know?

A very good idea to moisturize your skin. Apply oil immediately after the shower and rub the towel lightly. And, follow with a body lotion or body butter to seal in the moisture and oil both. Takes about 5-10 minutes extra in your routine.

Bath Oil Tip No. 1 – Aromatic Baths

I love to tip the bath oils into my bath water. I do not have a tub at home and honestly think it to be a huge waste of water and a pain to clean but you can add 5-10 table spoons of oil and enjoy the soak. On the other hand, if you use bucket, add 2 table spoons of oil and enjoy the bath.

Is Forest Essentials Bengal Tuberose the best Body Oil?

Published on January 13, 2016 by Swati 3 Comments

What do you do when getting bored in an airport? Check out what to eat? Window shopping? Actual shopping like I do sometimes? Or, simply take a book and read? Or, spend time in a skin care shop which is best pass time for me? On one such a trip back home, I was on the lookout for the best body oil.

And, what I do is enter the Forest Essentials to buy their absolutely amazing Mashobra Honey body oil. I love it. It smells divine and lingers on the skin for whole night and I just can not get over it. But, instead I got the Bengal Tuberose. Lets see how it is?

Forest Essentials Bengal Tuberose Body Oil Product Review (Buy it here)

How do you like the feel of a fragrant oil on your skin which does not make your skin greasy but gets absorbed right away? If your answer is yes, you should definitely try out this oil. To start with, this body oil is very light and fragrant. On an initial touch, the oil does feel oily. The fragrance of the oil is pretty strong yet light. It does not linger on skin for long and does not bother the nose either.

Kama Ayurveda Amber Ginger & Lily Bath and Body Oil Product Review

Published on October 7, 2015 by Swati Leave a Comment

Hey Everyone! Well, I am back. Seems like there is a non-stop flow of activity in my family since almost March. March, May, July, August, September, October, November and then February. I have never really been this busy with family EVER! It is exhausting and add all the travelling and no wonder I am draining out!

I really have to be on top of things so that I do not abandon the blog whenever I have to disappear. Btw, it is dad’s birthday in a couple of days and I am thinking of gifting him Forest Essentials Date ad Litchi Anti-Ageing Cream. He loves skin care and yes I inherited it. And, this way, I also get to try the product and give out a review of it 😉

And, back to the review. I have always been a super huge fan of Kama products! Not doubt they are damn expensive and I have not really explored their whole range either. I have just used their Vetiver Water, Rose and Jasmine body oil and that’s it! Holy, not that less. Even I did not realize I had not used any of their other products. Though, I do have many of their essential oils.

So, this time when I went to their outlet, I was disappointed to know that their Rose and Jasmine body oil was out of circulation. I am a huge fan of the product because of its delicate rose fragrance. Since there was no other option, I got the Ginger and Lily body oil. But, I am not really disappointed either!

Kama Ayurveda Amber Ginger & Lily Bath and Body Oil Product Review

Essentials

Price : Rs 725 for 100ml (expensive!)

Availability : Kama outlets + Online Website

Packaging : Not really travel-friendly I would say. And, I have to add that I do not like the packaging either. It is a thick plastic bottle which comes with just a screw cap, it is not a flip top neither does it have a stopper on its mouth. So, you have to pour the product on your palm and regulate the quantity there by.

Texture : Oil feels a bit thick but not very thick, spreads easily. The feel of the oil does not have a lot of slip to it unless you take a lot.

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Bath & Body Oil {Product Review}

Published on September 12, 2015 by Swati 6 Comments

So, this was on my last loving it list! And, I am really missing this product. It has been over for a month now and I just realized that I have not yet reviewed it. So, here I am gonna review about the product. Please bear.

Pros

gets absorbed very easily

keeps the skin nourished and moisturized for 8 hours

smells delicately of roses

Cons

very expensive

can get oily if applied in excess

packaging not friendly

bottle is brittle so beware of its handling

Now, have you ever come across any product which has jasmine but does not stink of it? Well, this is one. It smells of a garden of fresh roses instead of jasmine. I have come to hate the strong scent of jasmine. The problem with jasmine’s fragrance is its over-bearing nature which kills all the delicate smells.

Loving / Using It Vol. 3 – Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Bath & Body Oil

Published on September 14, 2013 by Swati Leave a Comment

Loving / Using It : Loving It

I absolutely am loving this oil. And, fortunately it is one of the few products which has jasmine but still smells like rose. Jasmine is so over-bearing that Kama has managed to put rose as the dominating scent in the oil. And, using it is absolute luxury 🙂

Vaadi Herbals Aromatherapy Body Oil Pure Lemongrass and Lily Oil {Product Review}

Published on August 29, 2013 by Swati 6 Comments

I simply love body oils and this one is fast growing on me. Though I don’t like the fact that it gets finished off too soon for me, it sure smells really fresh and lemongrass-y. I love the citrus-y smell which hits the nose as soon as you open the bottle.

The fragrance is strong but not overly so which does make me a bit suspicious if it is natural or not. I have never actually smelled lemongrass essential oil, hence, my suspicions. I have had bergamot though it wasn’t this strong. But, it was equally refreshing!

Pros

gets absorbed easily

smells refreshing

moisturizes the skin well

cute packaging

Anyways coming back to the product, it comes in a cute green bottle with a stopper. You have to pierce the stopper but I, being lazy, chucked it out altogether. Don’t do that because then you don’t really know how much of the product is enough for one use.

Due to that issue, earlier I used to end up using a bit too much of the oil but then slowly I decreased to using around 5-10 drops of oil for each body part. Applied on damp skin, the product gets absorbed really easily and moisturizes the skin well.

Cons

doesn’t do anything for the tan and blemishes as it claims!

can be sticky if overused

smell might get too strong for sensitive noses

I won’t say that it made my skin glow or remove the tan or did what it claims but it is definitely worth a try. I think a 100ml would last around a month of usage. And, the price is decent for the quantity.

Price: Rs 65 for 50ml

Omved Sushwasa Body & Bath Oil {Product Review}

Published on February 12, 2013 by Swati 4 Comments

Price: Rs 490 for 80ml

Ingredients

Pros
smells good
gives a fresh and cool sensation
doesn’t feel very sticky

Cons
very expensive!
wish the stopper came with a hole!

My Experience

I got this product from natural mantra as part of their promotional campaign. But, the bottle wasn’t too big that the product could last long enough so I shall write about the product based on 5 or 6 uses I could get.

Its a colorless oil which smells of camphor and ginger and feels awesome to apply. It doesn’t really disappear into the skin like the Anirveda oil. But, I did like the ginger combination in the oil.

Regarding the moisturizing capability, I would say its good but not great so it would suit the normal or oily skin perfectly. Dry skin people might need another layer. But, it does make the skin really soft.

Also, due to the camphor, the oil feels a little cool sometimes. This is a feature which would be great in summers so you might want to try it then. But, the presence of ginger and black pepper doesn’t make the oil feel warm.

The only issue I have is that the bottle comes with the stopper but no hole so its an added work to pierce a hole. I wish it came with a standard hole in the stopper so the bottle is usable without any work. And, yes, it is expensive!
