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.

Hi Everyone,

How are you lovely people doing? The lazy blogger is back with another haul post which she did in August. So lazy i am naa... Haha.. Anyway, by now i'm sure you people have figured out how much i love natural/ handmade soaps. Previously i had ordered a soap from this store in the month of May called Bouquet of Roses and i liked it pretty much. It was slightly small in size and camelia made sure to look into it and made bigger soap bars the next time round. Will review that soap shortly!


The products have 97% natural ingredients that is good enough for me. I  had a ordered a pack of 4 soaps and got the detox foot soak free. Camelia was kind enough to send the Cocoats Mask free as well :) Thanks   Camy.

  1. Cocoa Oatmeal Soap
  2. Neem - Multani Mitti - Turmeric Soap
  3. Lime Lemon Scrubby Soap
  4. Mystic Beauty Soap

Avon Naturals Rose Petal Whitening Mask Review

Hi Girls,

I’m super excited about this post! It my first review on my blog… I love the feeling of calling it “My Blog”. The product up for review is the Avon Naturals Rose Petal Whitening Face Mask. I've been using it for a while now… so I thought it’s time to review something that I've used for quite some time now.


Avon Claims: Avon Naturals Rose Petal Whitening Mask helps to remove yellowish and sallow skin tone and improve skin clarity and radiance. It is formulated with rose petals and rose hips. Rose hips are known to contain Vitamin C that has skin whitening properties. Mild and gentle benefits in the mask improves skin clarity, improves skin texture, helps in skin whitening, leaves an even toned skin and improve skin radiance.

Ingredients: 
Check the picture. It contains a hell lot of chemicals that kinda turns me off from this product!


Price & Quantity:
Rs.299 for 75 grams

My Take on the product:

The mask comes in a lovely transparent tub packaging. The mask is gel based mask which in red in color with dried rose petals in it. The mask has a fruity smell but it definitely doesn’t smell of roses. The scent isn’t too strong so it doesn't really bother me.

The texture and consistency of the product is good. It is really smooth and easy to apply. The best part about this mask is that it doesn't dry up like other masks on your face. I find that very annoying in other face masks.
After removing the mask, my skin feels hydrated. It definitely brightens the face and gives it a glow. The glow is temporary, but you can definitely use this mask before an event or function.


Pros:
1. Hydrating & moisturizing
2. Fragrance is fruity but not to strong
3. Gives an instant glow to the face
4. Brightens the face

Cons:
1. The glow is temporary
2. I don’t think it whitens the skin really… at least it isn't noticeable to me
3. It has a hell lot of chemicals in it :(
4. Its available only through Avon representatives, this may be a con for some!

Do I Recommend? You can use this mask by Avon as a quick solution to make you skin feel hydrated and radiant. Best time to use it would be before an event or function!

Will I repurchase it? No. I don’t think ill repurchase it for the simple reason I haven’t seen any effects on my tanned skin except that it makes me look a little hydrated and gives a temporary glow to it. Another reason for not purchasing it is that it contains a lot of chemicals and currently there are so many organic products available in the market. I’d like to give something else a try!

XOXO
