Hey beauties,
If you have read my Himalaya lip care post you would be definitely knowing that I also picked up this Oil Free Radiance Gel Cream. I really hate summers it
so difficult to find a right product for
your skin in this particular season where your skin can get easily oily but at
the same time dehydrated. Well you also
need that glow without having to look oily and without having to apply
any rich creams and bases is tough task. Summer is all about making your skin feel light
using a sheer makeup with just a pop of bold lip color. That’s the way I like
my makeup too be. But with makeup I need a basic proper skin care to make my skin feel hydrated without making me feel sticky.
Now when I first noticed this cream I was super excited because it was exactly what I was looking for hot SUMMER days. Its oil free at the same time will give me that
radiance now this product comes in a glass jar packaging with green cap. It’s a jar packaging so you need to dig in for product. The packaging is not travel friendly. The main ingredients are BARBARY FIG &
WINTER MELON.

| HIMALAYA HERBALS OIL FREE GEL CREAM |
It’s a white coloured semi opaque thick jelly like cream. Now it doesn’t contain any spf so you can use them in your night routine or day time too. Whatever you are comfortable with it. Currently I am using this only for my night routine.
You don’t need much quantity just making 5 dots on face
and massaging into my skin. Now this gel based cream is totally oil free it
reminds me of l'oreal icy gel has a very fresh soothing fragrance you can smell
melon in it. It feels like icy cooling gel when applied. Initially it just blends into
skin effortlessly. It almost gets watery feel making skin little sticky to
touch. But after few mins of application stickiness is gone and its almost like nothing has
bee applied. I have a combination skin so it perfectly hydrates my skin. It
gives a instant boost of radiance to my face. My forehead and nose look glowy which I totally love. I haven’t
tried this cream beneath my makeup but if you use more quantity it will make you feel
sticky and oily after sometime. This is not a mattifying cream so now even oily
skin can have that glow without having too look or feel oily. It keeps my skin
hydrated for 4-5 hrs. Its definitely not for use in winter except for you have
really oily skin. Acne prone skin I would suggest that use as little as
possible don’t load your skin with too much product. Its best for summer especially normal to oily skin types.
They don’t give me any breakouts. If I use any cream which clog my pores I
start noticing small whiteheads all over my face. But for now this hasn’t cause
me any.
So overall a thumbs up for this product. The most amazing thing is it gives me instant glow. Now this also really depends on your skin but if you have a normal to combination skin it will work. Fragrance could be a con for this product but I like my products to be mildly fragranced and which don’t linger for long. Too much of product can cause trouble so apply little and see how it works. Its easily available and at very affordable price . This product is free from alcohol and preservatives.

Hello angels,
Now I had seriously been looking up to this lip balm for a
while now. And finally I just got to review them. Reading whole lot of reviews
on this lip balms its just making me crazy..this lip balms are seriously free
from petroleum jelly silicones minerals and preservatives. Now this is a good
job done by Himalaya. Along with this
lip balms I also got to try oil free radiance gel cream you can check its
review separately. Whether it summer or winter my lips always need that proper care.
And lately I have been lip balm junkie too. You possibly could give me as many lip balms
I would complete them all ..lets come to our review. So I got like 3 flavour’s litchi shine, strawberry shine & soft natural vanilla. In and all there are 5 flavour’s the one which I left out are
peach shine an rich coco butter.
Packaging-

This lip balms come in twist up plastic tube. They have colored caps and body with clear base.
Now soft natural vanilla is clear lip balm they don’t have
color to it the fragrance is not exactly like vanilla but very soft and subtle
more like a bubble candy.
Texture of this lip balms are totally light they don’t
contain petroleum jelly which generally makes it feel heavy and rich. This lip balms
have very thin texture they just stay on your lips nourishing them. They definitely hydrate and moisturise your chapped lips. This lip balms are non greasy and non slippery. Generally I like my lip balms to be more rich specially for night time, while this one are super
good to apply beneath your matte lipsticks.
Flavoured ones have a very light tint to them which is almost
like clear when applied on lips. I personally liked the litchi shine as they
smell perfectly like juicy litchis. I loved this fragrance. It just reminds me
of juicy litchis. Strawberry has again a very natural strawberry fragrance. They are not
too glossy just a little bit of sheen which stays on for 1-2 hrs. This lip
balms are bit addictive because u just end up applying them every single hour.
But that’s what I love about lip balms.
Overall recommended if you looking for lip balms which don’t
contain preservatives silicones or petroleum jelly you can try this. They have
really nice fruit flavoured as well as the one which needed for your lip care.
They also contain 100% natural vitamin E. After applying it keeps my lips
nourished and soft for like 4-5 hrs. This lip balms do not contain any spf. Its amazing to have 100% bees wax lip balms in so many flavours.
So girls if you have tried out Himalaya Herbals lip care range you can share with me on how you find them? Comment below.

Hello angels,
Today I am in a bit of chatty mood and so I thought of
spreading a word on beauty and flawless skin. I believe that sharing is caring and so spreading some knowledge will always increase yours. And for all those who believe that keeping beauty
secrets with their own self is not good enough.
So this is what I think of sharing a beauty tip on something which almost every women, girl must be
suffering from that’s Milia, whiteheads and blackheads. Or you can say a little
bumpy skin which looks more worse when exposed to light have you noticed that? Now who don’t want a
soft glowing luminous skin. I myself want it and still struggling to get one. And its not over there once you get that you need to maintain it. Hard work pays off.
Nothing comes easy when we are talking about flawless skin. This post is totally inspired by one of my favourite world champion facialist BRIAN CHAMPAGNE. I totally love following his beauty tips it has surely made me change my routine. As you all know my skin is combination and I always get this bumpy tiny little eruptions on forehead Now here I am not talking
about acne I am just talking about that tiny little flesh colors bumpy
eruptions which you notice on your forehead under eyes and on chin.. people do
have that white cystic type of eruptions too but these are not called acne.. so
what’s biggest and first mistake you making here trying to extract it. You trying
all kind of salicylic acid products face wash creams lotions peeling agents but
nothing seems to work and you try to exfoliate every single day thinking it may
just go away. Well this all methods are just going to worsen your skin making it
more dry and letting your skin produce more oils. Now how many really believe
that oil can only reduce oil.
Our skin secretes some amount of sebum which helps in protecting your skin by forming a barrier now if you have a combination skin or oily you definitely want to kill all the oil secreting glands from your skin. But thats where you go wrong. When you just make your skin completely dry thinking no oil is going to be produce now ..but because of skin natural mechanism as soon as your skin is dry you will see it starts producing more amount of oil. That’s what skin do it’s a protective mechanism. Now the very first thing you need to do is balance you skin ph. You don't strip away natural oils using harsh chemicals or cleansers. Just use a gentle cleanser which you need to massage it gently on to skin. Wipe it with a damp cloth. Makeup cleansers are better than wet wipes as it will help in dissolving makeup while later will just help in removing makeup superficially. We all admit in making mistakes but thats where change come from. I often used cleansers only when I had to remove heavy makeup but now it has changed to my daily routine.
After cleansing makeup you just need to apply extra virgin olive oil on face and massage it leave it for 5 mins and wipe it with damp cloth. Extra virgin olive oil wont feel greasy it will help in removing waterproof makeup too. It has lot of strong antioxidants properties. Now this milia and whiteheads will get dissolved in this oil as they soften you definitely need to repeat this at least for a week ..your skin is going to glow its going to be soft supple feeling much lighter all of the bumps will slowly get completely removed. As milia are protein trapped in skin they are really difficult to extract you may end up getting scars. So you really need to be careful and help them soften and take out completely without any extraction. Whiteheads are again a fat debris on skin. Which sometimes does not go off with scrubs. You can use a steam or olive oil application to get rid of it. You will start seeing change in your skin from very first application.
My Skin Instantly feels so light and baby soft it starts glowing I still have little bumps on my forehead but I feel they are reducing and hoping that it goes away completely. It doesn't clog my pores and neither my T zone get more oily.
Overall this definitely works for having a better flawless skin you just need to have patience when dealing with you skin. There is nothing you can do overnight to get rid of skin problems. Also olive oil was one of the greatest beauty secrets of beautiful Cleopatra. If you crave for smooth flawless yet firm young looking skin you need to apply this every single day. Its really affordable and easy to use.
Tell me girls if you have tried them? If you can share any of your beauty secrets? Comment down below.

HELLO ANGELS,
Last week I hardly could blog about any products but I have lots
more coming up in this week so please do keep reading!!!
I have almost emptied my night cream jar of Olay anti
ageing. And it was time to get something new. I loved Olay night cream it has
helped my skin in many ways. But as I have combination skin sometimes I do feel
bit oily on my Tzone. It was great for winters but now as spring is starting I thought of getting something gel based which can be used by combination skin and proper enough hydration.
So I have introduced L'OREAL HYDRAFRESH HYDRATION NIGHT MASK JELLY in my night skin care routine and replacing Olay anti-ageing cream. This
jelly mask comes in a glass jar with plastic metallic pink cover. Packaging looks
quite attractive to me. The jar also has plastic lid inside the cover for
protecting the product.
This product is not a gel based cream or something but a proper transparent Jelly which is colourless and clear. This jelly glides smoothly over skin you need a very small quantity for your face especially if you have oily skin. I wouldn’t suggest this for dry skin as it doesn’t provide much hydration. But its a great product for normal to combination or oily skin. It gives enough hydration to skin. I noticed it had a very faint fresh cooling fragrance. I have used l'oreal Hydrafresh icy gel which has a similar fragrance and I use to love using it during my summers. This jelly mask when applied gives cooling sensation. It doesn’t feel sticky after application. I loved how soft smooth my skin felt after application. It quickly blends into skin and gives me a glowy face. It does take time(5-7mins) to absorb into skin. Though I needed more for my cheek area. On waking up I noticed my skin didn’t gave me any oily feel in fact my T zone was glowing. My face appeared soft clear and fresh. I had applied thin layer of jelly and massaged into skin as my routine moisturiser. If you want to use it as mask you can apply thick layer of this jelly for 201 mins and then wash your face. This mask is great for oily to combination skin. It gives enough hydration and suppleness to skin. It was quite comfortable when applied for overnight. It doesn’t clog my pores doesn’t not give me breakouts. No stinging, redness or any discomfort. I just felt I need to use little more on my cheeks.
Overall recommended for oily to combination skin. I think even
acne prone skin can use this it will give enough hydration without
making your skin too oily. Girls having normal skin can also use this. You can use this product as night moisturiser. This mask is quite affordable which impress me more. Well I couldn’t find any cons about this product I would love to see if
it can provide some amazing results after completing the jar.
Have you tried this Hydra Fresh Night Jelly Mask whats your
take on this product. Please let me know in comments down below.
Hello Angels,
I am surprised and so happy to have Sephora here. I couldn’t
go to their launch which was on 31st jan but I managed to go a day after that. In a way I am totally
excited to see Benefit, Stila, Makeup Forever and such makeup brands here. Though
they had not launched latest collection which was a bit disappointing but I could manage to pick up few thing, which you will be getting to see in my next few posts. So
its all going to be like small Sephora haul. Today I will be reviewing something
different than my usual makeup products. I have already seen this colorful Sephora fibre sheet masque at almost every Sephora but never got one. And so now i got chance to pick up this i will be trying it for first time. They have 8 different fibre mask
available which have different ingredients and for different skin concerns. So
you can pick up according to your skin concern. I picked up 3 of them which are
PEARL masque, ROSE masque, and LINGZHI masque which is basically anti ageing and smoothing well this one I got for my mom. This
masque are one time use but you can still use them 2 times if you packed them
properly and seal it.
Pearl mask is for perfecting and brightening
Rose mask is ultra moisturizing and brightening purpose
Lingzhi is for anti ageing and smoothing skin
This masks are very easy to use . You just need to cleanse
your face and pat it dry. Than remove the mask which is totally soaked in serum.
Carefully unfold it and apply it on you face. Now you can keep it for 15-25 mins
and you can remove this sheet and pack it again for using it one more time. After peeling off if
the sheet is dry you need to throw them away after one use. Now you can
use them for 15- 30 mins or if you are comfortable you can apply them for whole
night. Well I tried only pearl mask and I wasn’t very comfortable using it for
whole night so I had put it down on my face for around 30 mins and it was still wet. So I
packed it back for one more time use. After removing the mask I just massaged
that serum into my face and slept. As I wanted my skin to get soaked in this
ingredients. This masque helps to penetrate ingredients into deep skin while you are asleep I was happy to see the results next morning as my skin was having
luminous glow. I didn’t felt like rinsing my face but even after washing my
face and applying makeup the luminous glow stayed for almost a day. I wish it
had more long lasting results. But I felt this masque are really good when you
need that instant hydration suppleness or glow for your skin. You can even use
them before your long hour flights. Compared to other brand this sheet mask are
still affordable making it around 430 Rs each that is 6$. Although this sephora
fibre mask are big in size which really make you look terrified after applying.
Pearl mask did not have any scent and I like using products which have pearl as
active ingredient. I liked that my skin was soft hydrated and appeared brighter
on next day more over I loved that luminosity. I am also going try rose mask. I
feel like I can stock up this masks. I am quite happy with Sephora fibre sheet
mask. There are no drastic results but I think hydration is a first thing to
all skin concerns. I love hydrating my skin and making it feel plump and
supple. Who doesn’t love to have such skin. This masks also claimed of evening
out skin tone which is not so true but I guess after regular use results will be more long lasting and
visible. If you have oily skin you can always go for mattifying masks or you
can blot your face after removing sheet that’s before going to bed. Overall recommended.
So have you every tried this Sephora fibre masque? What do you
think about them? Comment below.
