Regardless of whatever range you choose as your skincare and body care, you are always up for a treat. The British Rose collection is no way different than that.

It has the British Rose seal on the middle of bottle and the bottle has a light pink tint to it.

Final Thoughts There is nothing negative that I can talk about this. Overall a great floral bathing experience can be enjoyed with the usage of this shower gel. It is like taking a bath on a rose petal covered bathtub. The scent of beautiful roses linger on your skin for a long time. It is a must buy not only for cleansing the skin, but for the complete experience. I have been suffering from stress a lot. It is not something that is a sudden occurrence, but I have been suffering from stress and anxiety for a long time. I have learned to live with it but I got concerned when it started showing on my face, specially my eyes. Of late whenever I looked at my eyes, they seemed tired. This is something that really bothered me as I don’t like it when my stress directly shows on my face or worse has an after-effect. So, I was looking for something that can sooth my eyes and revive its lost luster. Then I stumbled upon an anti-fatigue gel from Biotique.
Now, I have been using various products from this brand since I was in college, so I know this brand and trust it quite a lot. After reading what is claims and the natural ingredients infused in this product, I thought I can give this one a try. Since all natural ingredients go into their products, I believe no harm can be done from them. So I tried the Bio Seed Revitalizing Anti-Fatigue Eye Gel from Biotique and am here to share my review on this. Consistency As the name goes, it is a gel based formula which is great for oily skin people. Since I have oily skin, I am always on the hunt for products that befits the oily skin. However, all skin types can use it. Being gel like it gets absorbed into the skin quite fast and doesn’t leave any cast. It is a transparent light gel which is easy to use as well. Ingredients Punarnava Root, Behda Fruit Pulp, Badam Oil, Jaiphal Oil, Madhu, Chinnai ghas Plant, Kheera Juice and Purified WaterQ.S are what this product is made of. Since all the ingredients are natural they are safe to use. At the max, it will not work on you but it never cause any harm. Potency Coming to the effectiveness of the product, the question that actually arises here is did it reduce the tiredness in my eyes? The answer to that is no. It did nothing if I measure it on the yardstick of reducing stress and tiredness of my eyes. But what it did was to sooth the area around the eyes. When I apply it on the area around my eyes, it feels comforting and soothing. This in turn is quite relaxing for me. If you have puffiness around your eyes, this product claims to work on those. So, you can give it a try and let me know in the comments section whether it worked for you or not. Usage Very simple to use. Just clean your face and then pat dry. After that take a considerable amount of this gel and pat it around your eye area. This can be done both in the morning, evening or at both the times. Remember only to pat the gel into the area around the eye and not massage harshly on your skin. Afterall, if you have tired or puffy eyes, the last thing you want to inflict on them is pressure. You can also use your ring finger to pat the gel as this finger provides the least amount of pressure on the eyes. Quantity and Price Point This comes in a small tub of 15ml and is priced at Rs. 199. Biotique is a brand that has strong online and offline presence. So, if you want, you can buy it from your local stores or check online. Since, there are additional discounts being offered online all-round the year, you can save some money on it if you check Nykaa, Flipkart, Amazon, Purplle or biotique.com. Final Thoughts For sure, a good product that calms and sooths the eyes. I don’t have fine lines or puffiness around my eyes so cannot talk about its effectiveness on those grounds. However, at least it makes my eyes feel soft and nourished, which is what I was looking for. For something that is not that expensive, it is worth a shot. After all, there are several products in the market that maybe does the same amount of work and charge a bomb. Instead of trying those, I think this herbal alternative is not so bad. Do you have dry chapped lips? By that question I want to clear up that I am talking about summers as well. Everyone gets dry lips during winters; but if you feel that dryness during summers also, then you fall into the Sahara desert category lips. And my friend, if you have further wish to wear drying liquid lipsticks, then god help you. No matter how much lip balm and cream you apply, your lips will surely dry out. So, if you still want to wear liquid lipsticks without beating the life out of your lips, then you should try the Lip Sleeping Mask from Laneige.
This is already a super raved product, which I thought was simply gimmick. No matter how many lip products I have tried, nothing has ever worked out for my super dry lips. Trust me, when I say this that I have tried everything and nothing worked as even the super greasy Boroline was a failure for my lips. So, I kind of thought this product from Laneige will be of the same kind; I will just be wasting my money without getting anything back. However, when I tried this product, I was awestruck. From the very first night of application, I realized it would be great for my lips. Let’s find out why. This product comes in a plastic pot with a pink colored lip balmy like substance. The pink color and the flavor is due to the ingredient Berry in it. It smells exactly right fresh berries, which is another great thing as you won’t feel bad when applying it on your lips. When I say all goes a long way, I mean it absolutely. You need a tiny bit to cover your lips and that’s it. That’s all you have to do. Then go off to sleep and next morning when you wake up you see you have softer and fuller lips. I had such bad lips that even chapped and tore off the skin from my lips. All of that stopped right away after one night application. Ever since then, I have never stopped using this product. Now, Laneige products are pricey when I compare it to other lip balms in the market. You can even get lip balms that cost below Rs. 100, but those are epic failures for dry, chapped lips. If you have normal lips that need just a bit of moisture, then any lip balm would work fine for you. On the other hand, if you have serious issues with moisture bereft lips, then you need this in your life. This lip mask not only melts away the dead cells from your lips, but also makes them feel supple. With berry as the main ingredient in this, it is rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants that are great to act on dry and rough lips. So, what are you waiting for? If you want to be free from bad lips and wear any lipstick without fear of cracked lips, then Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is the one you need. I bought this online from Nykaa at a discounted price. I got the small tub of 8gm at Rs. 500, but once I run out of this, I will buy the full size and if required at full price as well. With the quality they are offering and what this has done to my lips, I can very well spare this amount to keep my lips healthy forever. Not sure whether this brand has great offline presence, but it is easily available online. You can check it at Nykaa, Amazon or Flipkart. There are two sizes available – 8gm and 20gm. You can try the smaller size and if you think you like it, which am sure you will, you can go ahead and buy the bigger one. Try this one and you will never regret it. If you are looking for something that can calm your skin or inflammations on your skin, if any; then I have got a product recommendation that will work for you. Am talking about the Silver Caffeine Glow Gel from Mcaffeine. Are you aware that silver has healing properties in it? It is for this component in the face gel that penetrates deep in your skin and heals it from within. If not for more, this product can help your skin beat the heat now as well. So, let’s find out more about this face gel.
Packaging It is pretty much a basic small glass tub packaging, which is kind of a standard packaging for all face gels, packs and creams. With a silver cap on top, the theme is quite clearly drawn out. It also has a white plastic lid after the cap to separate the gel from the cap. Then comes the transparent silvery gel. The consistency being gel-like is smooth enough to glide on your skin and not thick enough to make you feel sticky. Actual Face Gel Since this face gel is infused with silver, it penetrates into your skin and treats all kinds of skin related issues. If you have irritated skin with inflammation or some sort of bacteria that has caused skin issues, then silver can help you deal with it. It also has caffeine which is a great antioxidant for your skin. This means, it not only prevents premature ageing, but also keeps puffiness of skin at bay. It also has aloe vera which is great for moisturizing the skin without making it oily and lend a beautiful glow from within, which kind of indicates that you have healthy skin. Above everything, it is paraben free, which is another great point about this face gel. So, in a nutshell, it can handle your skin effectively. Not only does it work on normal skin, it is immensely great for oily skin. However, being a gel, I am not too sure if it will do a lot of good for the dry skin people. After all, they need a lot more moisture in their skin, which this may fail to provide. Although, this mentions to suit all skin types, I am not too sure about the dry skin people. So, if you are a dry-skin person, then feel free to leave your experience with this in the comments, if you have tried this in the first place. Quantity and Price Point This comes in a 50 ml tub and is priced at Rs. 549. Now, it may sound a bit overpriced, but you got to try this one to understand the quality you are getting. I have oily and sensitive skin and there are even gels that break me out. However, this one has not have any such effect on my skin at all and am about to finish this tub soon. I will definitely purchase this one once I am done with this one. Since skincare is part of essential commodity, you can get it online at Flipkart, Amazon, Purplle or Myntra. You may have to check first if they are servicing your pin code yet and if they do, you can go ahead and place an order. In this situation, you may not be able to bag some additional discount, but once we have moved passed Coronavirus phase, you can get discounts on this. Final Thoughts Supremely impressed by how it works. Definitely recommend to everyone, especially people with oily skin. So grab it when you can and try it. You will be pleasantly surprised by how great this works. As we step into May, the hottest month of the year, everyone needs something soothing for their skin. If that is also cooling, then it is all the more perfect for you, right? This is pretty much what the Saundarya aloe vera gel from Patanjali does to your skin. There is a simple aloe vera gel variant as well, however, I am going to talk about the kesar chandan variant. Aloe vera usually works for all skin types and it is considered one of the best products for oily and sensitive skin types. However, I am one of those unlucky folks for whom aloe vera doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t have any negative impact, but also cannot say it brings any change to my skin whatsoever.
So, now you might be wondering then why did I try this gel in the first place as its main ingredient is aloe vera. Valid thought! I went to a relative’s place long time ago and stayed there for couple of days. I forgot carrying my usual creams or gels, so I had to buy this from the local market as I didn’t want to buy anything costly for a short span of time. However, what was supposed to be a one-time purchase, turns out to be an accidental discovery. I had tried the toothpaste and few other stuffs from patanjali before and felt it did no good but this gel was calming and soothing; and nothing like what I expected. So, let’s find out more. Packaging Simple and travel-friendly packaging that comes with a flip-cap in saffron color. It also has an impression of aloe vera on the front. It has a translucent yellow gel which looks quite promising. Consistency and Quality As the name says, it has a gel-like consistency that blends into your skin without leaving any yellow cast. It has aloe vera infused with kesar (saffron) and chandan (sandalwood), which means only goodness for your skin. It is the cooling essence of saffron that feels calm and pleasant on your skin. On the other hand, it is the brightening and soothing qualities of sandalwood that makes your skin soft and supple. Moreover, sandalwood always have that beautiful scent that makes this gel smell so good. Being gel-like, it is mainly for oily skin people, but it will work on all the skin types as well. Price Point and Quantity This one is available in two sizes – 60ml and 150ml. Priced at Rs. 55 for 60ml and Rs. 110 for 150ml, this is quite budget-friendly option for everyone. It is not required that you need to try the bigger tube first, but you can also try the smaller tube and if you feel satisfied with it, then you can go ahead and purchase the bigger tube. These are easily available in your local stores, like the way I found this one. But, you can grab some additional discount on this if you purchase from Flipkart, Amazon, Nykaa or Patanjaliayurved.net. Final Thoughts Quite a good product at good price point that anyone can try. Filled with natural ingredients, this one can be tried safely, especially if you are on a stringent budget. This may be all the more good for school and college going students as there are no harsh chemicals in this product which eventually damages skin. |
