Fab India Neem Tulsi Soap Review & Price

Hello Peeps,

Hope you enjoyed Diwali! How did you celebrate? I didn't do much cause i was working :(
Hoping you had a lovely weekend as well :)

You guys must think, this girl keeps doing Haul posts but doesn't review any of them... hehe.. So today i'm reviewing a product which was featured in myFab India & Faces Haul. I'm going to review the Neem Tulsi Soap
.

About Fab India Neem Tulsi Soap:


Fab India Neem Tulsi Soap infused with the goodness of neem and tulsi known for their anti-bacterial and anti-septic properties help clean the skin. Fab India Neem Tulsi Soap is made with a perfect blend of essential oil and natural extracts which cleans the skin deeply and also helps to moisturize the skin.
  • Makes skin soft and supple.
  • Deep cleans the skin.
  • Prevent acne and blemish.









Price & Quantity:

Rs. 45 for 50 grams / Rs.75 for 100 grams


Ingredients: 

Soap Base (Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Stearate, Water, Propylene Glycol, Sugar, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, Sodium Chloride, Disodium EDTA and BHT), Glycerine, Castor Oil, Aloe Vera, Neem Leaves, Neem Extract, Basil Oil.

My Experience with Fab India Neem Tulsi Soap:

Fab India soaps are available in two size variants of 50 & 100 grams, I really like that. The 50 g variant is a travel bar and i find that very convenient for me. When i'm travelling I hate using the soaps which the hotels provide, at these times a travel bar can be your savior.


Now, lets talk all about the soap. The Fab India soaps come in a very simple packaging. Honestly i don't see how the packaging matters, when u are going to rip it of and thrash it. The Neem Tulsi Soap is yellowish brown in colour. It has a pretty strong fragrance and it lingers on for a while. Those who don't like strong fragrances, you should just skip this all together.

The soap lathers a lot and cleanses the body really well. It has a thin layer of tiny scrubby elements and  I loved it... They were not at all harsh. I hope Fab India converts this into a Scrub soap, i'm sure it would be amazing! Fab India are u listening to me... The soap lasted me for about two weeks and i'm satisfied wit h it.


Final Verdict:

I really liked using this soap. My skin felt good while using this soap and i simply loved the fragrance. If you like trying out new soaps then do try the Fab India Soaps. They aren't too pricey plus you get the benefit of trying out the travel bar and saving yourself a few bucks.

Have you tried Fab India soaps before?

First Glimpse : Barever Natural Hair Inhibitor

Hi Girls,

Today i'm going to just introduce a new product that is launched in the market. You can consider it as a first impressions sort of post. I will post a detailed review once i have used the product for a couple of months to know the exact results that i got from it.


The product i'm talking about today is Barever Natural Hair Inhibitor... which is something that will reduce the hair growth over time and hence give you freedom from regular hair removal procedure. Some people may compare it to laser... I think this is a safer mechanism and more cost effective than laser. I can say this with utmost confidence as i have undergone laser and i haven't seen a huge difference in hair growth.


The key highlights of this product are:

  1. It is India's first natural hair inhibitor
  2. Made in the Himalayas with natural spring water
  3. Made from ingredients which are derived from plan extracts
  4. Free of Parabens
  5. Sturdy and fuss free packaging
  6. Not as expensive as laser treatment
  7. The most important fact is that the brand is asking you to use it only for 5 days... Kudos to the company


I hope i have tempted you enough. I have used the product twice daily for 5 days on my hands and upper lip. The cream feels very light weight and gets easily absorbed into the skin but its pretty hot these days so it does get a little greasy sometimes. The pump packaging is very convenient and easy to travel with just in case you need to take it along with you.



Will do a detailed review on Barever Natural Hair Inhibitor very soon.

Hope you liked this first glimpse. Do leave your views in comments.

#DiscoverGreen with me at Koroli - The Hill Station

Hi Girls,

I'm sure by now you know where i was on 11th October'14. I had a wonderful opportunity to visit nature's abode at Koroli - The Hill Station. From the past two weeks i have been really long hours and it has taken a toll on my health slightly. Though I had to get up early in the morning to visit the beautiful place to #DiscoverGreen... I was super duper happy! I needed to get away from the hustle bustle of the city! I needed a breath of fresh air!





I got up by 5:30 am, was in the train to Mulund by 6:40 am and came back from Koroli at around 11:00 pm. It was a longer day than what I had planned, but I had an amazing day with such wonderful people.

A Lil Bit About E & G:

E&G are pioneers in building Nature Villas at unexplored scenic locations with state of art infrastructure and resort facilities. They also provide a source to generate passive Income through a convenient leaseback model. Mother Nature is the prime focus in all their endeavors and they strive to bring you closer to Mother Nature, thereby giving a fresh and invigorating dimension to your life. 

Koroli - The Hill Station:

Koroli is nestled in greenery all year round. It definitely is nature's abode! Nature enthusiasts will be amazed by the picturesque location and the vast landscapes. The beauty of the Vaitarna backwaters will definitely entice you. 

Green Courts is a 17 acre gated community being developed at Koroli by E & G. It comprises of 4 BHK Villas, 2 BHK Villas and Studio Apartments. Honestly, i think this is a great place to invest as a holiday home. It's so close to Mumbai, easily accessible and the perfect destination for relaxation.

The 4 BHK Villas come equipped with a lovely pool. These villas are completely furnished by Fab India! I fell in love with the decor. The Villas are designed really well and equipped with such beautiful pieces of furniture! All of these Villas take their source of energy from solar panels, a great way to conserve energy.

Koroli is a great location to unwind during the weekend. You could also visit Trimbakeshwar TempleIgatpuri, Saputara, Shirdi, just to name a few!

If you are on the lookout for a holiday home, Green Courts is where you should be investing! unlike other holiday homes, E& G offers a mechanism to earn passive income. So how this go about? You rent back the Villa to E & G, but the property remains in your name. E & G uses it as a part of your resort. This amazing facility gives you the ability to earn and own at the same time. Isn't thatsuper cool?

How To Get There?

Road: 30 mins from Igatpuri Via Mumbai-Nashik NH3 highway
Rail: 40 mins from Igatpuri railway station. 2.30 hours rail journey from Dadar T.T.
Air: 45 minutes from Nashik Airport

I would love to thank Aditi for hosting such a lovely event!

Plum Green Tea Face Mask Review & Price

Hello my Beauties!

Hope you have had a lovely week and enjoying your weekend right now! I worked really long hours this week and yesterday I wen't out for a lovely bloggers meet. Will post about the bloggers meet very soon. Today I'm going to review a lovely mask from the brand called Plum. The brand name is so unique! The biggest plum point for this brand is the fact that their products are free from parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, SLS, DEA and PABA. Doesn't this excite you enough? Read on to know more about the Plum Green Tea Clear Face Mask.


About Plum Green Tea Clear Face Mask:

No mean mask! Acne-prone skin needs multi-dimensional care - to cleanse, care, control acne, prevent recurrence, and to do all of this gently - phew! No mean mask, this.

Oxidation of skin-produced sebum leads to acne. Green tea-extracts are known anit-oxidants. Clays absorb excess oil and weed out dead skin, helped by glycolic acid.  

Price & Quantity: 

Rs. 475 for 60grams

Ingredients: 

Aqua (Water), Kaolin, Bentonite, Ctetaryl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerine, Glycolic Acid, Fragrance, FDA approved colors.

My Experience with Plum Green Tea Clear Face Mask:

Plum Green Tea Clear Face Mask comes in a clear glass tub with a white screw on lid. Its a little heavy but I don't really carry a mask around in my bag so it hardly bothers me. Its a sturdy and very convenient packaging. 


It looks like just any another mud pack but when once you apply you will surely know the difference. When i first looked at the product, it looked pretty thick and i thought it would be difficult to apply. The consistency is slightly thicker than other face packs i have used but it was so easy to apply it on my face. It was a very smooth application contrary to what i had imagined.

It has the scent of green tea which lingers on till the face pack completely dries off which is about 15 - 20 minutes. The time to keep the face pack on would be entirely dependent on how thick is the layer that you applied. I did not feel any discomfort when i applied this pack but you might feel a slight tingling sensation when u apply the face pack.


Once i removed the pack, my skin looked so much better. The tiredness of my skin vanished. It gave a really healthy glow to my skin which lasted for a few days. My skin felt so much smoother as well. It controlled the oiliness a lot... I have a combination skin and it worked exceptionally well. I don;t face a lot of acne issues... but i may have one or two on my face. After using this i haven't seen any new ones on my face! 

Pros:
  1. Very convenient and sturdy packaging
  2. Lovely green tea fragrance
  3. Does not contain harmful chemicals like parabens,etc.
  4. Thick is consistency but easy to apply
  5. Applies very smoothly onto the skin
  6. No discomfort on my end but u may feel a slight tingling sensation which subsides in a couple of seconds
  7. Removes excess oil from skins
  8. Reduces the recurrence of acne
  9. Removes dead skin
  10. Gives a healthy glow to the face
  11. Works amazingly well for combination skin but think this should work well for other skin types as well.



Cons:
  1. Honestly, i don't have any cons for this product



Final Views:

A face pack is a must in my Sunday skin pampering session. I really liked how this worked on my skin. Do give this product a try if you like to use products which do not have harmful chemicals in them. Plum also does not test it's products on animals! I'm really proud to have used products of this brand. You will keep seeing this brand on my blog for sure.
