A Classic Summer Favorite: The Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel

Honestly, I was never a fan of TBS. I never seem to be very connected with most of their fragrances.I mean i never found a 'wow' or 'cant live without' kind of a product in their range ( you know what i mean)!

The Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel, however, is an exception! It has a fresh, citrusy smell. The gel is orange in color and lasts for a very long time. It is not at all drying on the skin, infact this is something I appreciate about all TBS Shower gels. It does a great job cleansing my skin and awakens my senses in the shower with its refreshing fruity fragrance. The fragrance is strong but vanishes right after bath.



Priced at Rs 340 for 250 ml, this shower gel will last you for a long time.
Last Words- The Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel is truly a Summer Classic Favourite which i have and will always go back to. I would say, Girls, who love oranges go fetch your Satsuma Shower gels soon..what are you waiting for?

Monsoon Update: NOTD Lakme Color Crush #90

''Oh yeah I'll tell you something.. I think you'll understand
                                     When I say that something.... I wanna hold your hand....''

Didn't Beatles nail it in their very first single? Okay, so I am listening to this awesome song 
while I write for all you lovely ladies out there!
The post today is a little different, I was bored of posting reviews after reviews. Yes, you are guessing it right....this post is somewhat related to "hands" :) I know it sounds weird..hee..hee!

Okay so I am done with all my strange jokes now. Although I love growing my nails and painting them, once in a while I cut them short and leave them naked to breathe. Also I have made the habit of applying hand creams whenever my hands feel dry (which happens a lot by the way). Read about hand creams that i use- here

Monsoons have arrived and there is greenery every where. So I planned on applying a vibrant green nail paint from the Lakme Color Crush Collection. The number of the shade is 90, I wish they would have taken some effort to name these nail polishes!
Anyway, the color is a bright green color, perfect for this season.
Price- Rs 125



In case you are wondering, my bracelet is from- Infinity. They have some lovely pieces of jewellery that are designed keeping the International designs in mind.


 
I bought my bracelet from Westside, Pune.  I dont exactly remember the price but they were somewhere around Rs 3000. The bracelet has not lost its shine although I wear it regularly, and it suites all kinds of clothing.





Have you ever shopped from Infinity? What colors do you prefer on your nails during monsoons? Do share!

Za Skincare: Currently trying & Amazon India Review

Hello everyone! I just wanted to do a quick update on the current skincare products I have been trying. I was waiting for the launch of Za products in India ever since I heard of them and I grabbed them from amazon as soon as they were launched.


List of products with price-

1) Za Perfect Solution Facial Cleansing Foam ( Rs 359)
2) Za Perfect Solution Moisturiser (Rs 989)
3) Za True Ex White Day Cream (Rs 899)

I ordered my Za Products from a seller named ''Newu'' in amazon and the package reached me safely in time. None of the items were damaged and I also got discount. I hope the seller keeps up good service so that I can shop more from this site :)

I am still using the products and looking forward to share my experience with you as soon as I am sure of what I think of them....xoxo!
  

Loreal Smooth Intense Serum Review: Nice or Not?

Hair serums have been a part of my life since i dont even remember! Today, a hair serum has become more of a necessity to me, I just cant imagine life without it. I have super long hair which gets entangled alot, hence i am always on the lookout for a non-oily hair serum which can be used on dry hair before combing.
In the beginning I used to use Loreal Professional Hair serums as suggested by my hair stylist. But these were so expensive that I could not use it on a day to day basis.




price- Rs 240 for 100ml



The Loreal Paris Smooth Intesnse Serum is thick but gets absorbed quickly. It is non-greasy and has a pleasant smell. 


The hair serum can be used on dry as well as wet hair. It detangles the hair quite well, leaving it smooth. The only problem I have with the hair serum is that i dont find the effects to be long lasting, I reach for it every time I have to comb my hair. But I dont mind using it often as the product is decently priced, and seems to do no harm to my hair (it contains argan oil). Also my hair ends are dry, so I dont face the problem of it making my hair oily. 


pros-
  • detangles hair 
  • makes hair smooth
  • pleasant smell
  • contains argan oil
  • less hair breakage 
  • decently priced
  • easily available


cons-
  • effects are not long lasting
Last Words-

Overall, I think The loreal smooth intense serum is a great buy. It is decently priced and at the same time it is effective. This is my 3rd bottle, and I am definitely buying it again!
