A good moisturizer is a must for every woman. It protects your skin and gives it the right treatment it deserves! I am a fan of organic products made up of at least 80% natural ingredients. Products made up of harsh chemicals have never worked for my skin and have left my skin with breakages and damage. Therefore, I am always on the look out for products made up of organic, 'sensitive-skin-friendly' ingredients.
Luckily, I happened to come across this amazing moisturizer, kajal and sharpener trio on Plum Goodness's website. The trio looked so pretty and promising that I knew I had to try them out!

I was impressed by the speedy delivery by this website. The package arrived all bubble wrapped and safe inside a well-packed box. My first impression on seeing its contents was "cool".

All of the three products turned out to be way more awesome and effective than I had expected them to be!

Plum Goodness Day Moisturizer:
To start with, this is my favourite product out of the trio. It simply works like magic for my sensitive skin which is prone to breakouts. It's a day moisturiser, but I find myself applying it sometimes before sleeping too. It has that cooling effect which is not present in other moisturisers in my wardrobe.

The texture is smooth and flowy. It's more like a body lotion with more moisturising features. The best part is it's 100% organic with Aloe extracts. That's what gives the cooling effect I guess.
Overall, I am totally in love with this combo bundle! They are a pretty amazing set of organic cosmetics at a steal worthy price! If a product is good, you like it. If it's pricing is good, then you like it more. This is exactly what happened here. I totally love all these products which are paraben free and harmful chemicals free. They totally suit my sensitive skin and make sure it's pampered! I totally recommend this amazing brand to all you folks! You can buy their products from their website here.

I am on the wrong side of 25 and many people suggest anti ageing creams should be started at 25 , I decided to incorporate a night cream and not go the anti ageing routine just yet. I came across this L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Fairness Revealing soothing night cream (Melanin-vanish +Tourmaline) and this range had a day cream too so I brought both of them
Read on to know how the duo fared on me

Price and Quantity:
L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Fairness Control Moisturizing Day Cream: 650/- INR for 50ml 

L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Fairness Revealing Soothing Night Cream: 650/- INR for 50ml

What L’Oreal Paris says:

Packaging:

Both the White Perfect creams come in transparent glass jars and screw caps in blue. The packaging is sturdy but not travel friendly as the jars are of glass and so are quite heavy.

L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Fairness Revealing Soothing Night Cream : The Night cream is very has a light violet tint to it and light fragrance which I absolutely love.The texture is velvety light and gets absorbed into skin in seconds leaving my skin hydrated and refreshed. I love how after a long tiring day this cream soothes my face. It does not leave a greasy feeling and when I wake up my skin is  soft and supple . On some days when the winters get too harsh in bangalore and my face gets chapped this cream kind of burns a bit on my face. The burning may be due to overload of chemicals and at such times i rely on my trusted nivea to moisturize me. But other than that  Iam loving this cream till now and as my first night cream it has fared well . 

L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Fairness Control Moisturizing Day Cream: The day cream is pure white in colour and the texture is thick. It spreads easily on skin despite being very thick . My skin absorb this cream quickly with no white cast or greasy feeling . But i have to make sure i use just the right quantity as when i use more than required cream iam left looking a bit whitish which i then blend of using a sponge. It has an SPF 17 which isnt enough but is of great help in winters and summers also when iam staying indoors with curtains open. I love how this cream adds glow to my face and it kind of evens out my skin tones so these days I use only this on my skin and skip the BB creams and foundations . My skin looks a lot more soft and supple these days and I cant be any more happier.




I have been using both these creams for 2 months now and I have noticed a visible reduction of spots and tan along with soft and supple skin. At 650 each these creams are an expensive deal and other cons include the unhygienic tub packaging and the heavy glass tubs. But despite these cons iam impressed with both these creams as they do their job well.

Will I repurchase? These creams definitely work for me but iam going to try more options from lakme and Olay and then return back it all else fails. This is my first night cream so I am open to experimenting.

Moisturizers are an important part of my daily skin care routine and more so since I have dry flaky skin. So, when Dr Batras skin care range arrived I quickly grabbed the moisturizing cream leaving the other stuff for my sisters to review . So lets see how this cream fared on me.
Price: 350 INR for 100g
Shelf Life: 24 months
Ingredients

Product Claims :

• Excellent moisture balance
• Smooth feel to the skin
• Soothing and youthful look to the skin
• Protection against environmental pollutants

Packaging : Dr.Batra's Intense Moisturizing Cream comes in a white tub type packaging with a screw cap having the signature Dr Batras logo on top. The packaging is travel friendly as the tub shuts tight with no chance of leakages.
Dr.Batra's Intense Moisturizing Cream is pure white  and looks very thick in the tub while in reality it is very light weight having thin creamy consistency, this could be because it has  an aqua base.
The cream blends easily into skin leaving skin soft, supple and refreshed giving a semi matte non greasy finish. It fares well on my dry skin hydrating it, leaving behind a very cooling sensation. It is an ideal cream to use in this harsh monsoon-winter weather for my skin as it helps cure dry flakes too. Iam loving every bit of this moisturizer and since it gives a non shiny matte finish aim even using it as a make up base sometimes.
Dr.Batra's Intense Moisturizing Cream is very soothing and I apply it liberally around my eyes after long hours of laptop use and it provides much need relief. So you can use this as a night cream also . It comes with an aqua base so using it like a body lotion is also easy. Ive applied it on rough patches on my elbows and knees and it works nicely even there.
The cream also claims of fighting pollution, but I have no idea of it because never stepped out of house with moisturizer alone.
The cream has a mild fragrance which takes a little time to fade away post application. This isn't a problem for me but some sensitive noses may find it a wee bit strong.
Pros:

• Moisturizes and hydrates nicely
• Aqua base
• Small compact travel friendly packaging
• Non greasy Matte finish
• Soothing and cooling sensation
• Absorbs into skin in a jiffy
• Pleasing fragrance

Cons:

• Availability might be an issue
• The price is a bit on the higher side
• Unhygienic tub packaging

BlingSparkle Rating : ★★★★/5

I love  Dabur gulabari’s gulab jal (see here) and when I spotted this cutely packed Dabur Gulabari Pearl Fairness Moisturizer with Saffron and Turmeric I grabbed it.
I love the packaging, pink white combo looks chic and the pink  switch cap to remove the product is nice too.

The moisturizing lotion is nice baby pink in colour and smells heavily of roses, sensitive noses beware. The moisturizer lotion is lightweight, non greasy and blends into skin easily. It moisturizes my dry skin nicely and adds a bit of glow to my face , but I have no idea about its fairness claims.

Yays:

• Affordable
• Cute packaging
• Moisturizes dry skin and adds glow
• Lightweight non greasy formula

Nays:

• The rose smell is a bit over powering

Rating: ****/5
Verdict:  This is a nice economical moisturizer to try especially if you don’t have a sensitive nose.
