Receiving surprise packages is always fun and that is what holds the allure of receiving the beauty boxes. Let us check out what came in the Fab Bag April beauty box.
Best Sunscreens Vol. 2 – La Roche-Posay Anthelios vs Avene Emulsion
Last time, I mentioned about two best sunscreens I loved. This time I have Avene and La Rochay Posay which are more like average than being great. So, let us see what I think about them.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Spf 50+ Fluid Ultra-Light
Price : Rs 1450 for 50ml
Availability : Amazon
Why did I buy it? Well, it was on recommendation from a dermatologist who suggested me a few brands of best sunscreens in the market. This is how I came across both La Rochay Posay and Avene. How come I did not end up liking them? I would say it is more of a comparison with other sunscreens I have used and the texture which made the difference as opposed to its effectiveness. Just like helioplex from Neutrogena, mexoryl formula of sunscreen protection is equally effective and is used in Anthelios range.

Packaging
Comes in a pump bottle which makes it so easy to use the product. You can have a bottle everywhere, in your kitchen, by your sink, in your bathroom, by your bedside table and you do not have to worry about it spilling or getting wasted or anything at all. Just pump and rub. Done! And, you are good to go. Once we shift, I am going to buy multiple bottles for multiple rooms so I do not have to shuttle with one everywhere.
Best Sunscreens Vol. 1 – Neutrogena Ultra Sheer vs Shiseido Multi-Defense
With all the house finishings and roaming around, I am being extra careful about my skin. In the last two months alone, I have used up almost four best sunscreens so you can easily imagine how much quantity of sunscreen I apply. Well, I am happy to share that winters and aging has helped control the grease and oil and my face has not been looking like an oil pan.
The real test of sunscreen happens only in summers though. So, I decided I would do a good amount of research and find out the best sunscreens that really work and pass the requirements like not getting too oily on skin, giving adequate protection, easy to apply and remove, not making the skin dull and many other things.
I usually prefer lotion and cream sunscreens which come with protective packaging. Spray sunscreens are not my type since there is a lot of wastage and the smell and fumes are usually very strong. Have you ever tried a spray sunscreen? Did you like it?
On a side note, remember the news I shared about us buying a house and shifting this month end. Life has been crazy last month but this month is even worse. The dealing with laborers is a job best left to experienced people but then there is always a first time, right? I just hope we can stick to our shifting schedule otherwise we are in suds!! No roof over our heads. Anyways, let me start with the least expensive and my favorite sunscreen.

Blue Nectar Briganantadi Hair Repair & Treatment Oil
I have to first say my heartiest thanks to the brand and the PR people for bearing with me for so long for blue nectar briganantadi review. It has almost been six months since I received their products for review but could not review the hair oil due to the extreme hair fall I had been facing for the past few months.
The other product I reviewed was their headache relief roll on which is amazing. And, I have all good things to say about this product as well. Before starting, I would confess that the delay in reviewing blue nectar briganantadi was due to my bad health and weakness. My hair was in a very very bad shape couple of months back and it has been getting back to normal only since December. So, now, I can review hair products again.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum
The vichy aqualia thermal dynamic hydration serum was one of the most disappointing products for me I used in the last year. Did it stay so? Let us check out.
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum Product Review
Price : Rs 1,850 for 30ml
Availability : Amazon
Skin Type
Since this is a hydrating serum, it is meant for all skin types from dry to mature to oily.
Texture and Fragrance
The Vichy aqualia thermal dynamic hydration serum is a very runny liquid which is light in texture and gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy. The texture of the serum is light and suits all kinds of skin.
Liquid Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser
I got this liquid neutrogena face wash sometime in October. Now that I am almost about to finish it, lets see what I think about it.
Liquid Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser Product Review
Price : Rs 299 for 150ml
Availability : Flipkart | Amazon
Skin Type : It says all Skin Types. But, I am not sure it will suit the oily skin very well. Oily skin needs a little more strong face wash and anyways Neutrogena has deep clean meant specifically for oily skin.
Packaging
Liquid Neutrogena comes in a pump bottle. Very easy to use in the bathroom. But, the pump does not lock so is not travel-friendly. I am so loving the pump bottle that I am gonna store it and use it for something else once the face wash gets over.
