VLCC Gold Facial Kit VS VLCC Salon Series Insta Glow Facial Kit

Nisha Malik — Sun, 30 Apr 2017 23:30:53 +0000

Guest Post By Sreeparna Pampering facials at home are my favorite once-a-month ‘metime’ treat. This way I can save a lot of money and time plus I don’t need to worry about the quality of the product because I am choosing the products myself. When it comes to home facials, VLCC is the name that comes in my mind first. I have tried many of their facial kits and they have presented me with good results. In today’s post I am going to compare two of VLCC’s facial kits; the Gold Facial Kit and the Salon Series Insta Glow Facial Kit. I would compare the results these two gave to my skin and my mom’s skin. Without further ado, let’s dig in to find out if they worked on us or not. VLCC Gold Facial Kit Price Rs 250 for 60gm (single user kit) . Buy here. Gold Facial Kit by VLCC is a 6-step sachet facial kit that promises to make a golden enigma out of you! This metal based kit is a recent re-launch by VLCC. It used to be a 4 step kit earlier; the brand has now included a pre-facial cleanser and a post-facial moisturizer to make it a complete skin treatment. The kit I have is a single user kit but the amount provided is enough for doing two facials. Here are some details regarding each item in the Gold kit. Pre-facial Comfrey Cleanser cum Toner: This is basically a cleansing milk kind of product. It looks pure white and the consistency is medium to runny. It has mild floral fragrance. This product is able to remove every tress of dirt and makeup (waterproof too!) gently. Gold Scrub: This scrub is very mild and the granules are small. It contains fine shimmery particles resembling of gold. This kind of exfoliator works best on people who do not have blackheads. That is why it worked on my mom but could not show that much difference on me. Gold Gel: This is a lightweight gel that gets absorbed into the skin and hydrates from within. This gel gives a nice shine to the face. Gold Cream: It is an off-white cream with good spreading ability. It gives the perfect slip to massage the face. It is quite moisturizing but the thickness is not very heavy. Gold Peel Off Mask: It is a yellow colored gum based peel off mask with floral fragrance. This product spreads nicely on the skin and dries evenly. This product gives instant glow and does not strip off moisture balance of the skin. Post-facial Oil Free Moisturizing Gel SPF 15 PA+: It is a yellowish gel with medium thickness provided to maintain what is done on the face through the Gold facial. It moisturizes face without making the skin oily. VLCC provides enough amount of gel that can be used for at least 7-8 times. VLCC Salon Series Insta Glow Facial Kit Price Rs 530 for 200gm+10ml (multi user kit) . Buy here. VLCC Insta Glow Facial Kit is a 5-step facial kit to bring a quick radiance to your dull skin. Products included in this kit are mostly enriched with active herbal ingredients making the kit good for every skin type and every age. Like the Gold facial kit this one is also sachet based. I have got the multi use kit which VLCC calls Salon Series kit. My kit has 6 sachets per item and a small facial serum bottle. Here are the mini-reviews for each item. Indian Berberry Face Scrub: Enriched with dates and papaya this defoliator helps to cleanse the skin deeply. The scrub beads of it are uniform and medium in size. They give you cleansed skin without being harsh on skin. Though it has a creamy base, it do not leave creamy residue afterwards. The smell is nice too. Saffron Massage Gel: This medium thick gel is faint reddish purple in colour has a distinct saffron smell. Its consistency feels just perfect for massaging my skin for 5-6 minutes with wet hands. Snigdha Face Cream: This is a good floral-scented massage cream that has medium to heavy moisturizing power. Revital Skin Whitening Serum: This serum is a light-yellow oil-like product which is very light on skin. If you apply 2 drops of it alone in your cleansed skin it will get absorbed completely. It too has a floral fragrance but the intensity is very low. I generally mix it with the massage cream to get better slip. When my skin feels very dehydrated I mix 2 drops of it to the face pack also. It helps to retain the moisture to my skin. Insta Glow Face Pack: This is a clay based face pack but has sufficient creaminess that makes it useful for every types of skin. It does not dry completely. This product helps me to calm down my face after heavy massaging and deep exfoliation. It has a typical relaxing ayurvedic smell. Overall Result: This Gold facial kit suited my mom’s oily mature skin better than me. It gave her a nice sheen that I see on her face after facial session at a salon. I am absolutely repurchasing this one for my mom. Though it did not irritate my acne-prone skin, it failed to work on my blackheads. The Instaglow facial Kit on the other hand worked better for my skin than my mom’s skin. Its gritty exfoliator took care of my stubborn blackheads. Plus the gel, cream and the pack made a perfect trio to cleanse the dullness and impurities off my face. I am happy that I got the multiuser kit because I want to complete 10 consequent facial sessions with it; one in each month. Overall, both are good buys if you can identify your exact need. So, my suggestion would be, Gold Facial Kit to bring shine to the face and Instaglow Kit for deep cleansing. VLCC Gold Facial Kit VS VLCC Instaglow Facial Kit SUMMARY Gold Facial Kit Instaglow Facial Kit Suitable For All skin types All skin types Availability Easy Easy Number of Steps 6 5 Frequency Once a month Once a month Effect Glowing skin Cleansed skin Causes Pimple No No Dehydrates Skin No No Have a powerful Monday.

Aroma Magic 7 Steps Bridal Glow Facial Kit : Review

Nisha Malik — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:10:51 +0000

Guest Review By Nidhi Dabral Nisha has Oily skin type, while my skin type is Normal. The contents of Aroma Magic 7 Steps Bridal Glow Facial Kit contain quite creamy consistency. So she handed over this facial kit to me to test it out for her. I am glad she did. I was suffering from little bit tanning on my face. Nothing major, but I could definitely use a cleanup. Let me walk through the facial kit contents & the process, which helped me get back my natural glow. About Aroma Magic 7 Steps Bridal Glow Facial Aroma Magic 7 step Facial kits is introduced as Salon Range. They are used in Salons mostly but are not limited. We can use them at home at our convenience. The Facial Kits are formulated with unique & natural ingredients to counteract the damage due to environmental pollution & stress leaving skin polished & rejuvenated. Enhances Natural Glow Imparts Dazzling Radiance Revitalises From Within Suitable Skin Types Price Rs. 725 for 5 usage kit. One kit costs about 180 bucks though. Buy here. Packaging The facial kit comes in a pack of 5 individual kits which again contain 7 steps of the facial regimen. A single facial kit contains: Creamy Face Cleanser Exfol Gel Skin Serum Nourishing Cream Face Pack Hydrating Gel Sunscreen My Experience This is a 7 step facial kit. I shall share my experience with this facial kit step by step as I used the components. Step 1 – Facial Cleanser Ingredients – Natural extracts of Turmeric, Rose, Lemon Peel, pure essential oils of Geranium, Lavendar, Ylang Ylang & Vegetable Waxes. The facial cleanser is the very first content of the facial kit to be used. It is a creamy cleanser. It is supposed to be massaged on to the face for 3 minutes & then wiped off with a wet cotton. I have Normal skin type & the facial cleanser felt really good on my skin type. My face looked clearer since it took care of the dirt & grime off my face. It smells nice & mild. Step 2 – Exfol Gel Ingredients – Extracts of Peppermint, Sage, Cornflower, Fruity acids of Sugarcane and pure essential oils of Peppermint, Orange & Lavender. This is a pinkish thick gel. Although it is named as Exfol Gel, there are no scrubbing particles. It gives cooling sensation since it contains Peppermint. Initially I though it’s just a gel. But instructions says that it is supposed to be kept as a mask for about 10 minutes and then scrubbed off with dry fingers. I somehow missed the instructions & just washed it off without scrubbing it. Later I used a separate scrub. Step 3 – Skin Serum Ingredients – Apricot, Elder Flower, Carrot, Basil Jasmine, Organic Fruit Acid. The serum comes in a glass ampule which is very hard to break and one must be really careful while using & disposing it. The serum is like water and non sticky texture wise. The skin serum is packed with a lot of power packed ingredients. This face serum targets age signs by its lifting & firming action. It rejuvenates skin cells & balances moisture levels. Removes fine lines and keeps skin young & glowing. I applied this serum on my face and neck & left it for 3 minutes. I can not judge it’s firming effect since I am in early 20’s. But it definitely felt good. Step 4 – Nourishing Cream Ingredients – Extracts of Rosemary, Jasmine, Vitamin A,C,E and pure essential oils of Geranium, Vetiver & Peppermint. This is a massage cream packed in the facial kit. Normal to dry skin would really love the consistency & the calming effect on the skin. It is very smooth & velvety to touch. Facial massage helps to boost up blood circulation & imparts glow as a result. My skin’ dryness & flakiness was taken care of by this massage cream. I was really impressed by the natural ingredients that this cream is formulated with. This cream is supposed to be massaged for around 15 minutes before wiping away with wet cotton. Step 5 – Face Pack Ingredients – Organic Fruit Acid, Extracts of Orange peel, Clove and pure essential oils of Neroli, Orange & Petitgrain. This is a creamy AHA face pack. AHA is good to erase age signs. It helps to lighten & brighten skin complexion & promotes healthy glow on face. The face pack is supposed to be mixed & applied with Hydrating Gel that I am going to talk about next. Step 6 – Hydrating Gel Ingredients – Extracts of Seaweed, Lotus , Flax Seed, Aloe Vera and pure pure essential oils of Neroli, Rose & Lavender. This yellowish gel gives a calming effect to the skin. It calms down skin’s irritation & redness due to the presence of Seaweed. It is little difficult to mix the face pack and this hydrating gel but gives a nice consistency upon mixing well. Apply the mixture for about 15 minutes and then wipe of with wet cotton. Step 7 – Sunscreen Ingredients – Extracts of Cucumber, Green Tea, Lemon, Aloe Vera, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Benzaaphenone, Vitamins A,C,E & pure essential oils of Orange Blossom & Lavender. A sunscreen is must after doing a clean up facial be it salon or at home. Hence aroma Magic supplies a specially formulated sunscreen with all it facial kits to protect skin from harmful UVA & UVB sun rays. It is formulated with natural sun blocking agents. The consistency of the white colored sunscreen from this kit is non oily and fast absorbing. It gives matte finish. There is little white cast after using the sunscreen, but is manageable. SPF content of the sunscreen is not mentioned, though. This concludes the facial steps of the Bridal Facial Kit from Aroma Magic. The process is little long. But you definitely enjoy a wonderful clean up at home. Try it sometime. Likes Salon range facial kit for home use. Gives a nice clean up at affordable price. Suitable for Normal to Dry skin. Gives nice glow & takes care of the dead skin & tanning with just first use. Dislikes Too many steps. It is meant to be used for all skin types, but I really doubt it. The facial kit has too many creamy components which might clog oily & acne prone skin. Summary : 4.5/5 For Normal To Dry Skin, Aroma Magic Bridal Facial Kit, is a very good at home clean up facial. It is affordable & gives very nice results with first use. But, I am not satisfied with the gel based scrub. Also, I would not recommend this particular version to oily skins, but Aroma Magic Skin Glow Facial Kit is definitely meant for all skin types. Hope you liked my first piece on High On Gloss. Hope to write more here. Peace.
