Himalaya Herbals Lip Butter

One more addition to my collection of lip balms and chapsticks - Himalaya Herbal's lip butter. I have used a variety of lip balms and chapsticks before - but this lip butter is the first one I  have ever used. Hence I was very curious when I received this one for review purposes.

What's the difference between Lip Balms and Lip Butters ? 

The skin that cover's our lips are without the oil glands that prevent drying out the skin so we need to keep them moisturised and healthy at all times.

Lip Balms are more waxy in consistency that help prevent chapping,drying or cracking of lips.

Lip butters are thicker in consistency and contain no artificial ingredients. They are more moisturising than the lip balms.

PRODUCT: Himalaya Herbals Lip Butter
PRICE: 125 INR
QUANTITY: 10 gms

What the product claims? 


A unique and luxurious blend of exotic butters that provides nourishing care,keeping your lips supple,smooth and healthy all day long.

Ingredients:

Cocoa Butter, Sal Butter, Kokum Butter, Mango Butter.

My take on the Product: 


I am a basic kajal, eyeliner and lip balm/gloss person for most of the days. Hence it is obvious I have a stack when it comes to lip balms and chapsticks. 


When I first eyed this product - I was very curious to use it because I had never used a lip butter before. So when I used it for the first time I definitely loved it because it is perfect for winters.

This product comes in a transparent tub like packaging with a green screw cap lid. If you open the lid, inside there's a white lid that fits into the mouth of the tub. It prevents the butter from drying out I guess.

I love the cocoa butter smell of the product.

The consistency of the lip butter is obviously very thick which makes it perfect for winter when my lips dry out immensely. I apply this butter before going to bed every night to find my lips moisturised and soft the next morning.

The lip butter stays on for hours after application which I like !!

The quantity provided is quite a lot - the product will stay for a long time.

What I dislike about the Product: 


The price - It is expensive. Himalaya Herbals generally have affordable products.

You can't apply this lip butter during summers and other season - the thick consistency just won't work out in humid weather of Mumbai.

Also I hated it when it caused my hair to stick to my lip butter on the lips. I found that very irritating.

The product lacks SPF.

I personally do not prefer tub- like packaging. Dipping your fingers into the product is just very messy.



Love it Or Chuck it ? 

I am in a love - hate relationship with this one. WHAT ABOUT YOU ???

Himalaya Herbals Intensive Moisturizing Body Lotion

Hi everyone ...so I am finally back with all the reviews... Finally my laptop arrived !!! Today I will be reviewing Himalaya Herbals Intensive Moisturizing Body Lotion, I have been using this since 5 weeks now and now its the right time to review this product - -


Product: Himalaya Herbals Intensive Moisturizing Body Lotion.
Price:140 INR
Quantity: 200 ml

What the product claims ?

Himalaya Intensive Moisturizing Body Lotion is a specially  formulated body lotion for dry skin. It intensely loisturizes, softens and smoothes your skin. The moisturizer is enriched with the goodness of Cocoa Butter , Olive , Wheatgerm and Grapeseed Oils , which replenishes the lost moisture in dry skin. Naturally derived ingredients restore skin's elasticity, leaving it softer and toned than before.

 

Cocoa Butter, also known as oil of theobroma, is a high quality emollient, a skin softening and moisturizing agent. It promotes healing and prevents drying and cracking of skin. Cocoa Butter also contains antioxidants that can help repair your damaged skin. 

 

Olive Oil, enriched with Vitamin E, nourishes, protects, and softens skin and prevents chafing. It has soothing and anti-microbial properties, which ensures that your skin is healthy.

 

Grapeseed Oil, possesses astringent qualities and thus its application helps to tighten and tone the skin. Grapeseed has high content of linoleic acid, a fatty acid essential for the skin. It also serves as a wonderful moisturizer and nourishes the skin.

 

Wheatgerm Oil, is a rich source of natural Vitamin E, which nourishes and boosts skin's elasticity.

 

 

 

 

My Take on the Product: 

I absolutely love this product. I had picked up a similar product from my trip to Dubai. It is same as this one except that the other one is Body Butter and hence its consistency is thicker than this lotion. 

I absolutely adore the yummy smell of cocoa butter which lingers on a moment and then fades away.

The consistency of the lotion is just right- not too thick and not too runny. 

The lotion is beige in color which is absorbed easily into your skin. 

It also does an excellent job of moisturizing your skin all day long. It is meant for dry and extra dry skinned people. I have dry skin on my body so this product suits me just fine. 

The product is decently priced which is great and its easily available in drug stores and hypermarkets. 

The flip cap is tight and sturdy which makes this product great for traveling. 

Love it or chuck it ?

Absolutely love it !!! After St.Ives - this is one lotion which I absolutely loved. . . Do give it a try.

My Take on the Product:

I have been using this product, since the time I got it and I am all GAGA over it.
The cleanser comes in a sleek green bottle with a pump dispenser. A single pump is all that it required to cleanse my entire face.
This cleanser effectively removes all traces of dirt and makeup from your skin.
For reference, I have oily - combination skin tone which is sensitive and very prone to acne and pimples, But this cleanser suits my skin and didnt give me any allergic reaction.
The muslin cloth provided does a very good job of removing dirt and makeup and gently exfoliates your skin.
The results are best when you use a warm muslin cloth on your face - It massages your skin and improves circulation.
The warm muslin cloth opens up your pores thus cleansing you skin thoroughly. Splash cold water to close up all the pores when you use warm muslin cloth. 
The cleanser has rich and creamy texture and smells of eucalyptus and cocoa butter. The good thing about this cleanser is that it doesnt sting your eyes at all.
Regular use of this cleanser definitely improves your skin tone - making it soft and radiant.
I would also recommend washing your muslin cloth after a 10 uses to avoid any infection to your skin - thanks to the microbes which might harbor on your muslin cloth.

Love it or Chuck it ? 
Definitely love it - suitable to all skin types and You wont regret investing your money in this product. No wonder this product is a multi- award winner.
