Lakme Fruit Moisture - Winter Care Cream with Honey and Avocado

With Winters upon us and the increasing dry weather - My skin has started welcoming rough patches and the stretchy feeling, So I started using Lakme's Fruit Moisture Range.

The first thing I have been using is this winter care cream which has Honey and Avocado.
Read on to find out how did this cream worked on me --

A perfect creme dor daytime application.

Usage:
Use everyday over cleansed skin for optimal results. Suitable for all skin types.

Caution: 
Avoid contact with eyes. Wash your eyes thoroughly with clean water in case of eye contact.

My Experience with the Product:


This creme comes in tub like packaging with a twist top cap. Lakme 's Fruit Moisture Range is inspired by that fluid lines of the ingredients and Hence it has changed the packaging of the products to better suit the theme.

I quite like the sleek packaging of the product.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the product was the fragrance of the creme - which is chiefly a blend of avocado and settles down with a hint of honey.

The moment you apply the creme onto your skin, your filled with the aroma of the product which instantly refreshes you.

The texture of the cream is so light -  it just glides onto your skin and is absorbed easily.

The creme does a fantastic job of keeping your skin moisturised for hours.

SPF 9 is provided to protect from the sun's UV rays - I think SPF 9 is not enough for mumbai's heat so I need to apply sunscreen separately.

Love it or Chuck it ?
Love it ... This cream is perfect for winters... will work great with dry skinned people... Oilies be careful with the quantity of cream you apply on the skin to achieve perfect result.

My experience at Lakme Fruit Moisture Launch Event

Sorry for posting this article little late – It’s just that my net connection is acting up these days. .

Anyways – I was invited to an exclusive event by Lakme, which featured launch of their Lakme Fruit Moisture Range of skin care products for the coming winter.

The event was an exotic and colorful that was inspired by the special ingredients in the new moisture range. Right from the décor of the place to the food served to the guests of the evening was inspired by the mysterious duskiness of the plums, juicy red of strawberries, soft elegance of peaches, rich gold of honey and dewy green of avocados. The host of the evening was Suchitra pillai who welcomed the guests in order to kick-start the event.

The evening started by an exotic wine tasting session, the sommelier had specially chosen the wines for the evening that went with the theme of the event. The sommelier taught the guests how to savor the taste of the wine so as to enjoy the heady aromas of the exotic fruits that appeal the palate and set the mood for the evening.

The wine tasting journey was followed by the supper theatre experience. ‘Nostalgia Brand Chewing Gum’ was the play of the evening. A comical play about the tangled love lives of four people living in urban India.

The Launch of Lakme Fruit Moisture Range by the Brand manager of Lakme followed the play. The Range boasts the breakthrough ‘Nutritive Moisture Teachnology’ and a blend of Hydrating agents, Essential Vitamins, AHA’s and Anti-oxidants that provides the skin 12- hours of perfect moisture boost.

The evening ended on a delicious note, which included a scrumptious dinner in continuation of the evening’s theme.

I do hope you enjoy the pictures ----

Himalaya Lip Balm - Treat for Lips

Today I will be reviewing Himalaya Lip balm. A good lip balm is a “must” for any girl’s vanity. I use a lip balm throughout the year – the difference is the textures of the lip balms which vary with the season. I need a heavy duty lip balm like Nivea in winter bcoz they are absolute saviors from dry chapped lips in winter; although they are greasy and thick in texture they tend to last longer on my lips in winter. Rest of the year, I use nice light textured ones – and this lip balm from Himalaya is just perfect for summers.

PRODUCT - Himalaya Lip Balm

PRICE – 20 Rupees  (dirt cheap !)

QUANTITY - It is available in a tube of 10 gms.

COMPOSITION –  (from the website of Himalaya Herbals)

 Lip Balm contains the following ingredients:

Ricinus communis (Castor, Eranda) oil is used externally to relieve various inflammatory conditions of the skin and mucus membrane.

Cocos nucifera (Coconut, Narikela) oil extract is a good emollient and can be used externally for softening the lips. The oil extract is used in various cosmetics.

Triticum sativum (Common Wheat, Godhuma) oil is a rich natural source of vitamin E, which nourishes and prevents loss of moisture from the skin. It is used to tone and soften the lips. It has a potent antioxidant activity.

Wrightia tinctoria (Sweet Indrajao, Hyamaraka) leaves are used in various skin disorders including herpes. It has astringent and anti-inflammatory activities and is used as an antibacteial in several skin disorders.

Daucus carota (Carrot, Garijara) seed oil is used as a sunscreen and fragrance component in soaps, creams and lotions.

MY TAKE ON THE PRODUCT: 

 I have been using this balm for a week now and it proudly rests on my dresser table for everyday use.  It comes in a tube like packaging with green screw cap. The slanted tip of the tube makes it convenient for easy application.  

I like the transparent gel like consistency of the balm which is light in texture.

I am also a huge fragrance junkie and this balm smells just divine of minty bubblegum like smell.

It does a nice job of nourishing dry and chapped lips.  Since it contains SPF factor.. it makes the lip balm perfect for use in summers too.

The price and the packaging are just a HIT !!  Super cheap and easy to carry around anywhere you go . .

This lip balm however will not work for me in winters when my lips become very dry.

This lip balm also gets over very easily since you need to re-apply it after every few hours.

Love it or chuck it?

Definitely worth a try – perfect for people who don’t suffer from super dry, chapped and cracked lips. It is perfect to use it in summers.

Have you tried this lip balm yet? What do you think ?
