ORIFLAME FEET UP OVERNIGHT MOISTURISING AVOCADO & ALOE FOOT CREAM- SWATCH & REVIEW


150 ml (5.0 fl.oz.) for INR 349

Company Says:- An intensive moisturising foot cream enriched with Avocado oil and Aloe Vera extract to soften and soothe rough skin. Massage into feet every night.

Ingredients:- Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Urea, Glycerine, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sodium Cetearyl Sulphate, Ceteareth-12, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Dimethicone, Parfum, Panthenol, Persea Gratissima, Limonene, Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal

My Opinion:- Now that Delhi weather is turning cold, I thought of starting to take extraaaaa care of my feet since I have dry feet and they tend to dry up even more in the winters. I got myself a jumbo size tube of Oriflame's Overnight Moisturising Foot Cream that too on discount :D



The packaging is very handy white plastic tube with the impression of a funny looking foot in various shades of green. The lid is screw-on transparent plastic which closes tight so there isn't any fear of spillage or spoilage while travelling which I frequent have to do.

The texture of this white cream is smooth and silky, like a thick lotion. A small pea sized amount is required for each foot and it gets absorbed instantly though I prefer to massage my feet a bit. The mint fragrange of this cream is very refreshing. No it doesn't contain mint but the fragrance is from linalool, one of the ingredients.



Upon application my feet are soft and silky also looks very polished, thanks to dimethicone. The overall condition of my feet is good enough so I can't comment on anything else except the fact that this cream moisturises my feet very well. Avocado and Aloe Vera are both highly moisturising and soothing and gives my feet a cool and refreshing feel when I apply this foot cream. I apply it every night before retiring and I am happy with the results I see after 10-15 days of regular application. But I doubt that this cream will not be able to heal cracked heels and very dry-rough feet.

Pros:-
* Very little is required for single use
* Moisturises my feet properly
* I like the artificial mint fragrance
* I have seen some results in 10-15 days, hence I am happy with it

Cons:-
* Pricey so take your chance during sales
* This jumbo tube is not always available
* I don't think it will work on cracked heels and very dry-rough feet

I rate this Overnight Moisturising Foot Cream 3.75 out of 5 because I know that will never be able to get hold of another jumbo tube of this cream, or I may have to keep waiting for offers and last but not the least I am yet not sure how it will behave in Delhi's cold winters.

My Opinion:- I have been using this NMFe skin lotion since 4-5 years now. It a very mild floral fragrance which I like very much but the fragrance evaporates within minutes of application. I use it mainly after each waxing session be it on any part of my body :P It gives a very cool and refreshing feeling to the skin and prevents rashes and redness. It soothes my skin after waxing or after I have done my brows.
                       

                       Practically I reach out for this lotion whenever I have any kind of skin problem. It is very light on the skin and quickly gets absorbed into my skin. My skin is very soft and oh so hydrated. During summers I use it all the time. I reach for it after I come home from the heat during days, it refreshes my body and mind also :D And at nights I apply it all over my body and face and leave it on overnight. In the morning my skin is so plump looking and soft. It doesn't feel oily and sticky on my skin. I love it so much using it for so long now.

















 Pros:-

  • Easily Available and affordable
  • Skin absorbs fast
  • Soothing and refreshing
  • Highly moisturising body lotion

Cons:- 

  • Contains Paraben
  • Contains no SPF :( Otherwise I would be using it during the day also :))


              I rate this product 4 out of 5. I have been in love with this lotion since 4-5 years now :D Works very well as a body lotion for the ones with dry skin on body.

AVON NATURALS LIP BALM- PEACH, ALOE & STRAWBERRY- REVIEW

























4 gms for INR 79


Company Says:- Moisturising formula protects lips from dryness.


Ingredients:- Not Listed


My Opinion:- I am a great lip balm lover. I have used Vaseline, Nivea, VLCC, Jovees, Lotus Herbals (My HG) and many more but I always crave for new ones. So this time I went ahead to try out Avon Naturals Lip Balms. I got 3 of them because I liked them all- Strawberry, Peach and Aloe flavors.



                      The Strawberry lip balm smells somewhat like strawberry jam :D and I like it sooo much. The Peach one smells fruity and I somehow relate it to vanilla ice-cream for unknown reasons :D and the Aloe one smells like fresh herbs much like the Aloe Vera gel and I kind of hate it on my lips. Though the smells is gone after 10-15 mins of application and not that its overpowering but still scent/smell does make a big difference to me.
  













                

                        The Peach one is very moisturising and very creamy, the Strawberry one come next in moisturising and its creamy texture. But for some reason the Aloe lip balm is not very moisturising or for that matter creamy- I was a little shocked because Aloe Vera is a powerful natural moisturiser. Anyways, I have been benefited from the peach and strawberry lip balms tremendously. My dry chapped lips have been revived to quite an extent- happy me :D



                      This lip balms comes in a convenient tube like lipsticks and has to be twisted at the bottom for the balm to come out. The balm stays on for about 3 hrs and then needs to be applied again. So I have to keep reapplying throughout the day. The moisurising effect is also short lived. If I stop applying the balm, my lips becomes dry again. But then it feels light on my lips and its not sticky as well.




Pros:-



* Affordable

* Travel-friendly

*Packaging is good

* No fear of contamination since it comes in a stick form

* Many flavors available to choose from

* Very creamy and moisturizing






Cons:-



* Effect is temporary

* Ingredients not listed

* No mention of UV protection.



I rate this product 3.50 and I already have 3 right now so I don't I will need to buy these again. Good product but not absolute must for me :)
