The Body Shop Hemp Range – Lip protector, Hand Cream and Foot Protector

The Body Shop Hemp Range - Lip protector, Hand Cream and Foot Protector

The body shop hemp range is one of my favorites from the brand apart from their spa of the world range. I have not yet given the hemp body butter a try but may be its time and season for it now! So, let me get on with how I like the hemp lip protector, hand cream and foot protector. My favorite of them all is the hemp foot protector which is amazing.

The Body Shop Hemp Lip Protector

Price : Rs 400 approx.

This is your usual chap stick. I felt this one a little sticky and does not go smoothly on the lips and I felt I needed several swipes before my lips felt moisturized. A better way to use this is if you apply a layer of vaseline and finish with a layer of the body shop hemp lip protector for longer protection.

It stays for almost two hours and you have to reapply after eating or drinking anything. It lasted almost four months of regular use which is pretty decent. Overall, I can skip this in the future.

I have been wanting a feet miracle since almost two years. Be it pedicures, moisturizers, body butters, regular exfoliation, using pumice stone, nothing would work on my cracked feet. And, when I got this footcare cream for review, I was actually not expecting much from it. So, it turned out to be an extremely pleasant surprise and now it is on my must-have list!!

Himalaya Herbals FootCare Cream Product Review

Price : Not sure as the price is not mentioned on the pack and I could not find it online either!

Texture and Fragrance

This product is meant for extremely cracked and damaged feet. The texture of the cream is a little grainy. And, fragrance is herbal. I like it. It is subtle and smells nice.

Packaging

Comes in a tube which makes it hygienic and travel friendly.

Rustic Art Organic Hand & Foot Care Lotion Product Review

It is often rare to find a product which, though looks simple, actually works. I am a newbie to the blogging scene and Sunita, one of the founders of Rustic Art, was kind enough to actually send me a product for review. 
Thanks for having faith in me and thanks for sending me an amazing product. It was actually perfect for the weather too 🙂 Let’s dive straight into the review. Don’t want to keep you all waiting 🙂

Price: Rs 450 for 100ml
Ingredients
Apricot oil, organic corn oil, organic aloevera, organic coconut oil, Vegetable Glycerine, Avocado oil, Vitamin E, Soya lecithin, natural borax mineral, Sesame wax, Rose Hydrosol, Essential oil of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, myrrh, E wax.
Pros
Lightweight and non-sticky
Gets absorbed in seconds
Uplifting smell
Reduces dryness and softens skin
80% organic
A vegan product
Handmade with care just for us
My favourite- No animal ingredients or testing
One bottle would last 2-3 months
Pump dispenser gives out perfect amount
Travel- friendly
I love the plastic bottle and the detailing on it
Cons
I could say it’s the cost but it justifies the quantity and the time it lasts.
(I would add plastic bottle can be a con, I hope it is Bio-degradable!!)
What the Rustic Art Organic Hand & Foot Care Lotion claims?
Give your hands and feet a pleasant surprise with this vegan lotion especially for them. It is made of goodness of natural moisturizers that will nourish your skin and keep them fragrant.

How to use it?

For better results, apply before going to bed on washed and dried hands and feet.

Shelf Life: 18 months. Store in cool dry place/ refrigerate.

My Experience
It comes in a transparent rectangular bottle with a pump dispenser. Rustic Art has also included a plastic cap for the pump and a good one it is. Generally in other products, the plastic caps are flimsy but this one is tight. I carry it in my handbag and, touchwood, it hasn’t spilled 🙂

Rustic Art Organic Hand & Foot Care Lotion Product Review

The lotion is white in colour. It’s neither too thick nor too runny. It’s perfect. Coming to the fragrance, the lotion has some notes of mint. It also smells like amrutanjan. But I love it and I keep sniffing it 😉

The most driest parts of my body are my feet. I travel by bike constantly and my feet bear the brunt of the weather. I got this lotion 3 weeks ago and I have been using it constantly. I wash my feet with warm water, pat dry them and immediately apply this. 

One pump of this on each foot is enough. Generally foot creams are thick and sticky and make a complete mess of your bed. But this one gets absorbed in seconds. The best part of this is the minty after-effects 🙂 

Rustic Art Organic Hand & Foot Care Lotion Product Review

My feet have actually turned softer. The rough patches are no longer there. I also applied it on my elbows for a while and the dryness is gone. Before I forget to mention, though I have been using it daily twice, I have hardly used 20% of it yet. 
So, the quantity totally outweighs the price. This is one such product which looks simple and no-nonsensical but it delivers what it claims.  Yes, I recommend this wholeheartedly. Some might need to use more than 1 pump however.
PS : Product sent by brand

I had totally forgot to write about this earlier but this is a guest review written by Shruti. So, welcome on board, Shruti 🙂 And, thanks for such a great review!!

Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion {Product Review}

· · 25 Comments

Price: Rs 179 for 250ml

Pros
gets absorbed really quickly
hydrates really well
lasts long
My Experience
As you all know, Nivea is my favourite brand. Ok, I know I am sounding like a broken record…repeating the same thing time and again. Anyways, I got this body lotion when I had run out of everything but later on, I did find a body butter left over and parachute body lotion as well. 

Back to the review, the product is white in color and comes in a typical Nivea packaging. The texture of the product is really thin so it gets absorbed really fast but, amazingly, it stays on skin for long. As far as I have seen, it stays all night long.   
It keeps the skin moisturized and hydrated and stays true to its claims of express hydration. It boasts of hydra IQ formula (which is really good) and blue lotus scent (which I didn’t really find amazing). The product makes the skin look glowing and supple and has no cons for me.
Anyways, I do know that nivea has amazing creams which have been launched outside…wish they come to India real soon. This product is an absolute try and the best part is it relieves my skin’s dryness even these days so it is absolutely useful for dry skin as well. It also works well on dry feet.
Have you tried this? What did you think?

My Experience
Biotique Bio Wheatgerm Firming Face & Body Cream Product Review at Perfect Skin Care for you
Its been an year since I have used it but when I thought of putting up its review, it was already summers so it wouldn’t have been of any use to anyone. So, I thought of deferring the review for these winters 🙂 And, do I need to say more that I waited for winters to put up the review?
Biotique as a brand I love but their ingredients list is always an issue. But, their products almost always work for me so I do think of going back to them. This is also one of the good ones. The texture of the product as you can see is pretty thick.

Yes, it is absolutely amazing for dry skin. In winters, it absolutely solves the dry patches problem. One needs to use a wee bit amount of the product and you are good to go. It does lighten the tan and pigmentation you might have. But, the best way to use it is as a hand cream.
It is thick so it keeps the hands soft and moisturized all winters. And, as I said, it also lightened the color of my hands. And, it kept my cuticles also in check. Yes, I have used it on my face also and totally liked it but yes, it can get a bit greasy so unless you have very dry skin, you can skip it.

Its also great for arms and legs and feet as well. Just as it keeps the hands soft, it keeps the feet moisturized and prevents cracking of the heels unless you torture them 😀 So, yup, go for it this winters, if you haven’t used it and I am sure you will love it as well 🙂 And, if you have used it, so share your views!
