Nisha Malik — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 00:35:54 +0000

Sipping your coffee in your warm bed on a cold morning, is an underrated pleasure. The first few sips alone can wake you up filling your nostrils with amazing aroma of cocoa beans. Would you trade this lovely experience with anything else? I would not. Mr. Beans, a new launch from Ryaal, is all set to make you feel pampered this winter. Even if you are not a fan of coffee, you will eventually fall in love with coffee after using Mr. Beans. I am amazed to see how Ryaal is working hard to be more innovative and come up with such amazing products. Ryaal Black Mess was quite a break through and now Ryaal Mr. Beans is definitely going to be loved by all beauty enthusiast. So get ready and get on a ride with me to have a feel of Mr. Beans, in a tub. Ryaal Mr. Beans Exfoliating Scrub Mask Mr. Beans is an exotic mix of Arabica coffee & wild bee honey. Coffee is highly loaded with anti oxidant properties. It’s fine texture, gives a nice gentle exfoliation. Honey moisturizes skin thoroughly. It leaves skin all clean and hydrated which glows of health. Use this deep cleansing scrub mask with mesmerizing aroma of coffee. ♠Handmade ♠Vegetarian ♠Cruelty Free Price & Availability The scrub mask is priced at Rs. 499 for 125gm. It is available at Ryaal & Amazon. Ingredients Packaging It’s sheer love. The scrub cum mask is packed in a black matte tub. This cute tub can steal your heart no doubt. I am surely going to hoard these tubs even after the product is over. I am kind of obsessed with cute tubs & boxes. The black tub has labels across it talking about the product. You can find the ingredients, usage direction and manufacturing details on the labels. There is also a thin plastic inner lid to avoid the spillage. This lid was really necessary since the product is kind of runny. Fragrance & Texture The fragrance of the scrub cum mask is to die for. It’s authentic. You smell 99% coffee and 1% honey. Can you now imagine the amazing aroma. It’s mesmerizing. Texture wise, it’s dark brown runny mixture of fine grannuals. Even though the ingredient list shows clay in the mixture, but I mostly feel coffee. Once applied on my face, it does not drip though. I am wearing it right now as I am writing about it. I am kind of addicted to the feeling of having a cuppa-coffee near me. How To Use Ryaal Mr. Beans? There is no hard-n-fast rule to use Mr. Beans. You can use it as a scrub, as a mask or scrub cum mask. Use your own creativity to get the maximum out of the product. For dull & dry skin, use this product as mask. Or just use it twice a day as scrub. I like to use it twice a week as mask cum scrub. My Experience There are some factors which determine the like score of a product for me. The packaging, the fragrance, the texture, it’s effect & it’s price. If a product show some unwanted effects like break my skin, all the good things go null automatically. Mr. Beans scores high on the cute & sturdy packaging. The aroma of the scrub mask drifts me to wonderland. I like to use it twice every week. I wear it as a mask on my skin. Within 5-10 minutes the mask goes almost dry. I damp the mask. Using circular motion, I scrub my face with the same mask. If you have ever used raw coffee as a scrub, you would know, it’s bit sticky to scrub it. Similarly Mr. Beans give the same experience because it literally contains authentic coffee. I make sure to go gentle on my face except my nose which is prone to blackheads. Lesser than 2 minutes are more than enough to get a nice scrubbing effect. Since I have oily, sensitive & acne prone skin, massaging/scrubbing a lot can really trigger some trouble. Post the scrub, washing the product is easy but is not less messy than Black Mess. Post rinsing my face, I clean my wash basin too. So all the dull & dead skin cells are long gone now. It’s juts my calm & fresh skin that I see in the bathroom mirror. The honey present in the product makes sure to moisturize my skin. My skin does not feel tight or stretchy. It’s all beautiful, soft & smooth. Skin care products go beautifully on freshly scrubbed skin, hence it’s the time, when I use a night time cream/serum. Skin looks good & feels good, even the next day. No breakouts noticed. Do I Recommend Ryaal Mr. Beans? Mr. Beans has been formulated in such a way that it will suit every skin type. So yes, I do recommend this scrub cum mask. Ryaal Mr. Beans, is formulated with coffee & honey along with Aloe Vera and other natural ingredients. It works beautifully on skin to cleanse and moisturize it. Mr. Beans takes away the dullness & roughness of the skin. It can be used as a scrub, mask and scrub-cum-mask. One tub lasts very long. It’s one of the most exotic product launch of the winter. Hope you liked the review. I am very much sure, this is another gem from Ryaal. I hope they keep on coming up with such innovative and quirky named products to thrill & pamper us. What are your thoughts about the product? Would you like to try it? Waiting for your comments. Much Love, Nisha ❤

Indus Valley 100% Organic Hibiscus Powder : Review

Nisha Malik — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 13:57:25 +0000

Hibiscus is a beautiful flower. Once dried up it becomes very useful in hair, skin & body care. Hibiscus powder is used to prevent grey hair & hair loss. For skin it works as an anti inflammatory & if consumed, it works to strengthen liver, eliminate constipation & improve blood circulation. But it is important to use a 100% natural & organic Hibiscus powder to reap all the benefits. The hibiscus powder that is free of chemicals & preservatives can work wonders. FDRA Labs- the mother of Indus Valley, presents 100% Natural Hibiscus Powder. The powder is grounded from the fresh corp from Shogi-a suburb of Simla, in Himachal Pradesh. FDRA Bio Organic Hibiscus 100% Natural Powder Hibiscus Sabdarrifa – the red colored Hibiscus flower is a boon for hair & skin. It has numerous uses even for the internal organs of body. Indus Valley brings a 100% natural Hibiscus powder for you which is freshly picked, finely grounded & securely packed without adding any preservative. 100% Organic Fresh Corp Triple Sifted – Triple Cleansed Microfine Powder 100% pure- No added Chemicals 100% Bio Price Rs. 199 only for 100gm. Buy here. Ingredients Triple Sifted & Grounded Hibiscus Sabdarrifa. No preservative or any chemical added to the powder. Packaging This is a fine powder that comes packed inside a cardbox. The cardbox is white & green themed showing a large red Hibiscus flower printed on the front, while the features are printed at the side. Other organic powders such as Amla, Orange peel, Tulsi, Shikakai, Brahmi, reetha, Bhringraj, Aloe Vera, Rose Patels, Fenugreek, Neem, are also shown at the back which are produced at at Indus Valley. Inside the card box, Hibiscus powder is sealed in a transparent plastic pack. Which needs to be cut a bit to take out the powder. The powder should be transferred to a zip lock pouch or to an air tight container, once the pack is opened other wise the powder may get ruined after coming in contact with air/water. Fragrance & Texture As I opened the pack, I inhaled the fresh smell of Hibiscus flower. It kind of proves the authenticity of the product. After going through such vigorous process of cleansing & grounding, the powder still smells so good. This is a powder, but not as fine as Sandalwood Powder is. It is like coarse sand or wood powder. The texture of the powder is like this because, the whole flower is grounded and not just the flower petals. If you have used Forest Essential ubtans, it has same texture like that. It can be mixed with water, milk, curd, lemon juice, rose water, toner anything you want. It will form a nice paste. How To Use The powder can be used in multiple ways for skin & hair. Night Cleanser Make a paste of this powder with water, curd, lemon juice, rose water, toner, milk etc. depending upon your skin type. Apply the paste on face in a light layer. Massage gently for few minutes & wash it off with water. I have been using it as my night cleanser from about 2 weeks. I mix 1 spoon of Hibiscus powder with rose water or water. And wash off after massaging it for a while. Pat dry my face and apply few drops of Indus Valley Skin Care Oil while giving a bit of massaging. As a Scrub + Mask This powder, due to it’s coarse texture, can be used as a scrub and mask too. Make a paste with anything runny & apply on you face. Leave it there for few minutes & then start massaging it giving your skin a nice scrubbing action. This works as a 2 in 1 scrub + mask. In a Hair Pack Hibiscus Powder’s benefits off hair care are well knows. To strengthen your hair roots, prevent immature grey hair & hair loss, use this powder in a hair pack. You can also mix it with curd to condition your hair well. You can mix it with Henna to impart a better color to your hair. As a Body Ubtan Make a paste of this powder with water and apply on your body, leave for few minutes & then scrub the dead skin away while massaging it to improve blood circulation. Skip applying soap or body wash. You will notice glowing skin after your shower. When Hibiscus powder is applied on skin or scalp, it gives a soothing effect to it. It is anti inflammatory hence, takes away redness & scaliness of skin. The Hibiscus powder is also consumed to treat various ailments such as liver malfunctioning & constipation, but, I would not suggest to do so without consulting your doctor. My Experience I am very happy that I got to try this natural & organic Hibiscus powder. I already was a fan of Hibiscus powder, but it is very difficult to find a 100% pure product. In the past I have used Hibiscus powder from various brands, and that’s how, I can tell, how authentic & effective this product is. I use this powder in my skin care & hair care. This has surely simplified my skin care routine, specially when I am travelling. I do not have to carry separate cleansers, scrubbers or masks. One product does it all. Skin is free of impurities, redness or flakiness. I have not experienced any acne breakout on account of this powder, while Forest Essential Ubtan broke me out very badly when I used it few years ago. Whenever I am in Ultra-DIY-Mode, I mix Hibiscus Powder & Sandalwood power (that too from Indus Valley), with water/rose water to form a paste and use it as a soothing & clarity mask. It makes my skin glowy & calm. It’s one of my Summer special mask (I am working on this post). I also like the fact that the powder is very affordable despite of being 100% natural & organic. Otherwise, the other organic products are very costly and the organic brands keep on raising it’s products’ prices (am talking about you Forest Essential 🙂 ) Likes 100% natural & organic Hibiscus Powder. Rich in Vitamin C, anti-inflammatory & anti-oxidants properties Can be used as a skin cleanser, scrubber & mask and body ubtan. Enhances skin elasticity. Suitable for all skin types. Can be used in hair packs to prevent immature graying, hair loss & dandruff. No skin/scalp irritation or allergies noticed. Very affordable & economical. No added preservative or chemicals. Shelf life is 2 years. Dislikes This is not a big con, but I think the brand should pack the powder in a zip lock pouch or air tight container, as this packaging is not very practical. Summary: 5/5 I love this stuff. I have never been so much into natural and organic skin care, but after using it, I have realized that it is important to use less chemicals on your skin and hair to achieve naturally clear skin and problem free hair. Indus Valley 100% Natural & Organic Hibiscus Powder is a multi facet product which can has numerous uses for skin, scalp, hair & body. It is rich in anti oxidants & has anti inflammatory properties. I really recommend this Hibiscus Powder if you like to do skin care DIYs. Also Read: Indus Valley Skin Care Oil Hope you liked this post.

The Face Shop Real Nature Rice Sheet Mask : Review

Nisha Malik — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 09:45:03 +0000

Guest Post By Moni Hello pretty ladies. After a long time, I am writing for High On Gloss. It feels great to be contributing something form my side too. Nisha got this TFS Exeperience Kit few weeks back and tested out the White Seed Moisture Cream, which did not suit her oily and acne prone skim. I volunteered to test out the Rice Sheet Mask from the same kit. Read on my review on this sheet mask. The Face Shop is a South Korean and famous brand among bloggers for it’s innovative skin care products. Korean people religiously use sheet masks to pamper their skin and provide required nourishment and vital supplements. That’s one of the reasons behind their ever glowing skin. About The Face Shop Real Nature Rice Sheet Mask Rice Water is a mostly used as a brightening agent in skin care products. It is natural and effective. This particular Rice Sheet Mask also brightens dull and darken skin naturally since it does not contain any parabenes. This mask is meant to be used on all skin types. Price Rs. 100 for 1 Sheet Mask. Get it here on discount. Ingredients Packaging It is a sheet mask dipped in clear serum. It comes in a very sleek and lightweight plastic sachet so that you can carry it around in your bag. The plastic sachet also contains little more clear serum which is supposed to be massaged over after you have used the mask. There is perfume like smell which I don’t think was necessary. A natural product should smell somewhat natural. How To Use Clean your face and pat dry. Apply some toner. Pull out the sheet mask from the carton and place on your face. Wait for 15-20 minutes before removing the mask. Massage withe left over serum all over your face and neck. My Skin Type I have normal to dry skin type. I get tanned very easily. I already had some tanning on my face, that is why I chose to test out the Rice Sheet Mask. My Experience This was my first time experience with such kind of mask. I have never had used a sheet mask before, so this was different and exciting. My major skin problem is skin tanning, I get tanned very easily. Even during winter, my skin is bit tanned. I thought it would be good idea to use the brightening mask from the TFS Experience Kit. I cleaned my face and applied Vichy Normaderm Toner which Nisha was having. After that I applied the sheet mask on my face. Initially I felt there was a little burning sensation, since it was bearable I kept the mask on. After few minutes, the burning sensation went away and I felt more relaxed. After 20 minutes I took off the mask from my face. These type of masks never dries out so you can keep them even longer. Since I was excited to see the difference, I took it off after 20 minutes. I massaged my face with the left over serum. Coming to the after effects I would not say drastic changes, but yeah there was subtle glow on my face, my cheeks were glowing and my dry skin was quite moisturised. Skin felt smooth and supple. There was little bit brightening effect and to achieve better results, I must be using it for more than once. I also had some problems regarding the size of the sheet mask. The face mask was really wide and had really small holes for eye socket. But I managed. Likes Convenient to use. Brightens dull skin. Moisturises skin very well. Skin feels smooth and supple. No breakouts noticed. Free of Parabenes. Dislikes Little burning sensation for the initial few minutes. Single use can not bring out the desired results. Summary: 4/5 I think this product is suitable when you need to refresh your skin within few minutes like before attending a party. While regular usage can help you maintain a healthy and bright skin. The sheet mask is easily available on Amazon.in and is very affordable too.
