The Body Shop Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Creme

September 6, 2018 Swati 3 Comments

In my search for a good moisturizer, I picked this up after my encounter with the body shop Vitamin E moisturizer which did not really impress me. So, did I like the body shop seaweed moisturizer?

The Body Shop Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Creme Product Review

Price : Rs 1,195 for 50ml

I picked this up when the sales guy recommended me this when I asked him for something which is non-oily and hydrating and would go well with summers without making my skin too sticky or too shiny. So, did the moisturizer fall in that bracket? Well, I would say yes.

Similar to the texture of vitamin E cream, the body shop seaweed moisturizer feels silky on skin thanks to the silicones present. But, the difference is that it hydrates the skin from inside, makes it glowing and keeps the skin looking the same way for half a day at least.

True Elements Make My Muesli Grainy Mix

Do you like having breakfast? What do you like for your breakfast? I love a huge breakfast but I hate to make one for myself. Who wants to slave in the kitchen the moment you get up, right? And, I want my breakfast right away. Thus, my fallback option is cereals. True Elements Make My Muesli is a lovely concept which makes it easier for me to choose what combination of cereal do I want.

Cereals have always been my friends though I know the high sugar content do not make them as desirable breakfast options as we would like them to be. So, when I got to know about this interesting customizable cereal from True Elements, I was definitely curious. And, I have to mention here that I am not really a big fan of muesli. You have to keep on chewing it and it takes ages for just one morsel!!

Price : Rs 315.50 for 400gms

Let me start with the packaging. As you can see, it comes in a cylindrical cardboard carton, the muesli being packed in the regular aluminum packs. The one I got was grainy mix with goji berries, cranberries, hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds. It supposedly has honey in it as sweetener but I am not sure how do they put it in a dry mix. The cereal was hardly sweet.

Satliva Cocoa Bliss Body Butter

After a two week long hiatus, here I am again! A lot happened in these two weeks, my mom had been visiting, I recovered from a bad cold and a couple of other household and bank stuff to be taken care of. Coming back to the post, I have been using Satliva cocoa bliss body butter for more than a month now. I loved their charcoal soap and face cream but I am not yet sure of the body butter so lets check out what I feel about it.

Price : Rs 610 for 40gms and Rs 960 for 100gms

Availability : Online Website

Made with Hemp seed Oil, Cocoa Butter, Moringa Oil, Jojoba Oil, Bees wax, Peppermint Essential Oil

Satliva cocoa bliss body butter comes in a tin packaging which I really like. It is eco-friendly and you can always reuse it. If you do not know what to do with it, melt and pour the candle wax and you have your bedside candle ready! I got the 40gms pack so I am not sure how the 100gms product is packaged. But, you would be better off with 100gms as it is a good bargain even if you just want to try it out.

Satliva Red Raspberry Face Cream

Finding the right moisturizer for your skin is downright the toughest task I have come across. It is easy to find a cleanser (not that easy, I admit, but then t gets washed off in a minute) or serum or even facial oil for that matter. But, not the moisturizer because it is supposed to stay at least 6-8 good hours. So, whenever I try a new moisturizer I am not usually optimistic and it was in same frame of mind I started using Satliva red raspberry face cream.

Over and above that this product has ~~shea~~ (sorry, it’s) mango butter which can be ~~extremely~~ moderately heavy and has hemp seed oil and raspberry oil. Especially given the weather and my combination skin, I thought I made the wrong choice when I was selecting the products for review. The only reason I picked this up was the presence of red raspberry oil which is known to be the best natural sun protector so if you can get your hands on the red raspberry oil, nothing better than that!!

Satliva Hemp with Shea Butter and Activated Charcoal Soap Bar

If you have been following me long enough, you would know by now that I really like charcoal based products. Ever since the concept came out, I have used various face washes and masks from different brands. I currently have the ones from L’Oreal and The Body Shop, both I am really liking. And, I have my eyes on the Aroma Magic bamboo charcoal face pack as well. So, anyways, let us see how does a charcoal soap do for our body.

The charcoal powder in the soap gives a nice gentle scrub to the body while the soap glides all over, thanks to the shea butter.

The soap comes in a beautiful packaging and looks nice on the counter. It feels buttery to touch inspite of the gritty look. It lathers very little but just like with other handmade soaps, it melts pretty quickly so do not let it sit in water. The best way to use any handmade soap is to lather it between the palms and then use it.
