Oriflame soothing foot cream

During summer, it becomes extremely difficult to manage feet and avoiding it from getting tanned.  And it is this season, we tend to wear open slippers and straps. At the end of the day , we always notice our feet, in two skin shades because of the tan.
Winter is no less, we end up having chapped heels and dry feet.
I found the solution. And it is the ‘Oriflame soothing foot cream’. It comes in a very impressive cool blue tube with a tiny opening, that saves the product from getting wasted.




Price- INR 198. Know what, I purchased this in a offer during March for a mere Rs.100. [:D]

Oriflame soothing foot cream is of a very light texture. It is absorbed quickly by the skin leaving behind no trace of greasy feeling. After using it regularly for 3 weeks, I found it very effective for all skin problems, not just tan. I shared the cream with dad. He had dark pigments on his feet, the pigment is visibly reduced just in a span of a week, using it twice a day.
After that, this has remained my best feet cream, a great companion for dad too.
I have the Oriflame avocado foot cream too. Have been using this from past 1 week, So Far so good. Will come up with a review soon.
Totally satisfied, totally happy.

Thumbs up-
· A very light cream. Absorbed easily
· Very effective. Removes tan and pigments
· No distinct odour, but has a tinge of minty smell.
· Cheers for the packing too.
· Even MRP is not expensive for the effectiveness.

Thumbs down-
  • Can't think of anything at all.
Will I re-purchase?

Definitely yes! Without a second thought , buying this for dad also.

Oriflame grape antioxident review

For the kind of pollution that we face today, we definitely need something more than CTM routine. IT was then I decided, I try for some night cream. It was the same time, I was browsing the Oriflame magazine brought by my collegue. There was this grape antioxident night cream that caught my eye. Grape is a well known antioxident.

Antioxident - It bonds with the free radicals and neutralizes it and hence prevents cellular damage.
Now you wanna know, what is free radicals?

Free radicals - These are highly reactive particals those get involved in chain reaction. Their chief danger comes from the damage they can do when they react with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membrane. Cells may function poorly or die if this occurs. To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system of antioxidants.

Antooxidents are present in all citrus fruits, grapes all Vitamin E products etc,.



 


Price- INR 359 for 75ml. I bought this under a discount sale for 249. Gleee

Ingredients- Not mentioned. But officially grape should be one of the thing

The Oriflame anti oxident night cream is a very light cream. Its get absorbed by the skin very soon, within few seconds. Skin doesn't feel greasy at all. It moisturises the skin very well. The cream contains a tinge of mild grape smell.

Thumbs up-
  • The grape smell is very mild and yummy!
  • Very cute graphics label. Nice color.
  • A very reliable moisturiser.
  • No greasy feeling after application.

Thumbs down-
  • Expensive for the quantity.
  • A small tub packing

Will I re-purchase?
Yes, will purchase it only if I get a discount on the product.

Biotique Bio Coconut cream review

             After getting good reviews about this product from collegues and friends, I decided to try it myself and write a review. Its been more than a year that I've started using this product. Sitting in A/c for more than 8 hrs/day, exposed parts of skin, especially hands feel so dry and flaky. I desperately needed a moisturiser to make my skin hydrated and moisturised.




Price- INR 199 for 50gm

Ingredients- not mentioned







I apply this cream everyday once in the office although the products advises usage twice a day, morning and night. It has a creamy texture. Once it is applied on skin, skin tends to look shiny although not very greasy. Hence I don't use it on my face. Surprisingly, there is a thing I started observing on my hand skin after religiously using this for over a month. My tan is reduced visibly. Yes, its true, the whitening and brightening claim proves to be true.

Thumbs up-
  • Not very expensive
  • Tan reduces as proclaimed. Me happy!
  • Biotique products have therapeutic properties.

Thumbs down-
  • The product comes in the usual boring green tub. Unhygenic to dig.
  • Can't be applied on face especially during summer as it is greasy.
  • Smell is irritating. No aroma.
Will I re-purchase?

Yup, In fact , I'm planning to buy another one once this gets over.
