250 gms for 479

With Organic Extracts of Milk & Honey

Oriflame Says :- A rich moisturising cream which softens, conditions and nourishes your hands and body delectably.

Ingredients :- Aqua, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Stearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Paraffinum Liquidum, Mel, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Carbomer, Ceteareth-20, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Stearic Acid, Sine Adipe Lac, Propylparaben, Parfum, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Isopropyl Myristate, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Hydroxycitronellal, CI 47005, CI 14700

My Opinion :- I have dry skin on my body, specially on my limbs. As winter approaches, I perk up my body care routine as my skin gets drier. Last month Oriflame sent me a whole bunch of products and I was very excited to find Milk & Honey Gold Nourishing Hand & Body Cream among other stuff. This cream is officially my first body cream from Oriflame, but I doubt if it had the word 'Gold' in it back then. Anyways the formula and packaging seems to have remained the same over the years. As I was using some other body lotions (for both day & night time) from other brand, I started using this since last 20 days or more. So here I am with my views on Oriflame Milk & Honey Gold Nourishing Hand & Body Cream.

                         This Milk & Honey Cream comes in a cute round see-through plastic jar with a golden brown screw-on lid. The packaging is sturdy but not hygienic as I have to dip my finger to get the cream out for use (I have long nails). The jar is big enough to be travel-friendly but there is a protective foil at the mouth of the jar to avoid the cream from coming in contact with the lid and getting messy. Still I don't prefer to carry it along with me during my frequent travels as the cute jar is bulky and a little heavy too. I wish Oriflame had a smaller tube packaging of this cream as well, then it would have been hygienic and travel-friendly as well.

 
                      

                      The fragrance of this hand & body cream too has remained the same as far as I can remember. The Milk & Honey Soap has a similar scent, fresh Jasmine but sweet and mild. The scent stays on for a while before fading off totally. This hand & body cream is a pale yellowish in color, thick butter-ish but more of a gel formula, it's light weight but very hydrating. This Milk & Honey Cream gives a cool feel to the skin upon application and therefore I think it would be a treat to use it during the hot summer nights. About 5 small blobs of cream is enough to cover my entire body. I prefer to dip a Q-tip to take out the product instead of my finger as the quantity is huge (250 gm), I would not be able to finish it off anytime soon and also I don't want to contaminate it. 

THE CREAM LOOKS LIKE THICK BUTTER, VERY HEAVY

                             I use two different body creams/lotions everyday at different times, a lotion/cream with sun protection for the day and a plain one for the night. This hand and body cream does not come with sun protection and this is the reason I apply it all over my body during the night as I love to apply body lotions/cream at night before hitting the bed. I have seen my mom doing this since I was a mere child and I have happily followed her. This cream easily gets absorbed into the skin with a gentle massage and immediately hydrates my dry skin. This Milk & Honey Cream is non-sticky and has good moisturising abilities but it just goes off within an hour leaving behind a luxurious silky-satiny feel to the skin. This silky feel stays on till washed off with water.





                           As for my hands, they are a lot dry, so I need a specialized hand cream but I do top it with this hand and body cream and than my hands are silky to the touch. In the morning my skin feels soft and supple and silky to the touch. I have to move on to a richer cream/lotion as the harsh winters come by because by then my skin would be much more drier and would need a richer moisturiser. Otherwise this hand and body cream would work wonders on my skin during the summers/warm/not so cold days when the skin on my body is not so dry. I know of a girl, who has normal facial skin and uses this on her face at all times and has fabulous skin. Ofcourse I never tried it on my face and I never will :P but it's my mom's favorite body cream (she had normal body skin) and a hit from Oriflame.

Pros:



* Very hydrating

* Imparts a luxurious silky-satiny feel to the skin

* Mild & sweet Jasmine fragrance

* Rs 479 for 250 gm is justified, Oriflame products are on sale most of the time

* Non-sticky & non-greasy formula

* Light-weight gel formula, looks like thick butter

* Gets absorbed into the skin easily

* Contains organic extracts of milk & honey

* Makes the skin soft & supple




Cons:


* Bulky packaging, not travel-friendly & hygienic (I prefer tube packaging over jars with open mouths 

* Available only through Oriflame consultants

* No SPF included

* Moisturizing effect lasts only for an hour or less, would need reapplication if used during the day

                   I rate Oriflame Milk & Honey Gold Nourishing Hand & Body Cream 4.25 out of 5. It does not comes with sun protection and so I had to use it during nights only. Gives a luxurious silky feel to the skin apart from being hydrating. Highly recomemded to all girls who adore body creams and also to girls with all skin types except very very dry chapped skin. A great body cream from Oriflame <3

For fresh and light feeling skin

100 ml for INR 69


Vaseline Says :- Total Moisture Aloe Fresh Lotion leaves your skin feeling light & fresh. Our 24hr nourishing formula combines Pure aloe+ 3 stratys multi-layer moisture.Absorbing quickly, infusing moisture at top, core and deep down layers of skin.







Ingredients :- Water, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Glycol Stearate & Stearamide AMP, Isopropyl Palmitate, Soft Paraffin, Triethanolamine, Glyceryl Stearate, Dihydroxypropyl Triammonium Chloride, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Titanium Dioxide, Carbopol, Tapioca Starch, DMDM Hydrantoin,  DMDM Hydrantoin & Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Disodium EDTA, Perfume

My Opinion :- A few hours ago I told you about my day time body lotion and now I am here with my night time body lotion. I am a regular with night body lotions since many many years as I have seen my mom using one every night. Here I am going to put forward my views on Vaseline Total Moisture Aloe Fresh 24hr Nourishing Lotion which I use at night as it has no sun protection. This lotion  comes in a green flat tube type plastic opaque bottle with a flip-open lid which shuts tight. This packaging is hygienic and travel-friendly, all Vaseline body lotions comes in similar bottles.

                      The fragrance of this lightweight white body lotion is very light and refreshing, similar to of most the green tea skin care products. I like that fresh scent, it perks me up and lifts my mood. Though this lotion is lightweight, it is creamy and highly moisturising. It keeps my skin well hydrated throughout the night and in the morning my skin is soft and supple. I have also used this body lotion in the day and the effects are same. But since it does not come with sun protection, I prefer to use it at night.

                     As I have said earlier that when used at night, this body lotion keeps my skin hydrated all throughout the night. But when used in the day, it stays on for 4-5 hours max, then I feel the need to reapply it again as my skin feels a little dry. The 24 hour nourishing claim is too tall to be true from a body costing Rs 69.The body lotion is not greasy though it is thick creamy and it is not sticky either. It gets absorbed into the skin immediately with a little rubbing and unlike Vaseline Healthy White Body Lotion, I don't need to wait before putting on my night dress.

Pros :

* Dirt Cheap & Easily Available

* Travel-friendly & hygienic packaging

* Available in 3 sizes (100 ml, 200 ml & 300 ml)

* Refreshing aloe fragrance

* Lightweight lotion

* No stickiness & no greasiness

* Keeps my skin hydrated throughout the night

* Gives a smooth & silky feel to the skin upon application

Cons :

* Staying power is only 4-5 hours if used during the day

* 24hr nourishing claim is false

* No Sun Protection

                     I rate Vaseline Total Moisture Aloe Fresh 24hr Nourishing Lotion 4 out of 5 as it gives me soft and silky skin in the morning. A good body lotion be used during the summers and that too at night. But I am not repurchasing it as my skin is becoming drier and I need a richer lotion/cream for the cold days.

10 IN 1 Skin Benefits
AHA & Vitamin B3

100 ml for INR 100

Vaseline Says :- New Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Lotion is infused with Skin illuminating minerals, Vitamin B3 and Yogurt serum that go into different layers of epidermis to help re-lighten darkened skin cells, making your skin 4 times fairer and even-toned instantly. Healthy White Lightening Lotion also contains Triple sunscreens that protect your skin from darkening.

Directions for Use :- Use twice a day for best results.




Ingredients :- Water, Stearic Acid, Isopropyl Palmitate, Niacinamide, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Mineral Oil, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Triethanolamine, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Perfume, Cetyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Titanium Dioxide, Propylparaben, Didodium EDTA, Hydrated Silica, Aluminum Hydroxide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Isomerized Linoleic Acid, Alginic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Potassium Lactate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Lactic Acid, BHT, CI 17200

My Opinion :- I have very oily facial skin but dry limbs & body skin, I know it sounds funny but that's the way my skin is. Body lotions are a must after bath in the morning and at night before hitting the bed. Since last month (read 45 days) I have been using 2 Vaseline Body Lotions, Vaseline Healthy White Complete 10 Lightening & Anti-Aging Lotion for the day & Vaseline Total Moisture Aloe Fresh 24hr Nourishing Lotion at night. So let me put forward my views on the one I use during the day first as it is over now and before moving on to another body lotion I must review it for you all. Vaseline Healthy White Complete 10 Lightening & Anti-Aging Lotion comes in a pink flat tube type plastic opaque bottle with a flip-open lid which shuts tight. This packaging is hygienic and travel-friendly.

10 SKIN BENEFITS

                          The fragrance is sweet floral but I am not a fan of it but it is not overpowering and unbearable. Girlies with sensitive nose will also have no problem with the fragrance of this body lotion. It is a thick lotion but it is creamy and buttery as well. This lotion spreads with ease and gets absorbed into the skin with a gentle rubbing. My skin does not feel greasy and sticky after using this body lotion and I don't need to wait for awhile before putting on my dress. It gives a matte look to my limbs but also it gives enough moisture. The skin looks brighter immediately after application of this body lotion but I couldn't see any skin lightening even after 45 days of use. The skin looks much even-toned and firmer after using this lotion.

                              I use this body lotion during the day because it boosts of UVA & UVB protection but I am a little confused as the SPF is not declared anywhere on the packaging. The staying power of this body lotion is poor, I feel the need to reapply it after 4 hours of application. The moisturising and hydrating effect also stays on for short and thereafter my skin feels dry. I don't have fine lines and dark spots so I have not formed any opinion regards those issues. But I can say that this body lotion will work wonders for oily/normal (body) skin beauties and the ones like me with dry body skin should try the other varieties like my favorite Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow 24hr Nourishing Lotion. 

Pros:


* Affordable & Easily Available

* Travel-friendly and hygienic packaging

* Contains UVA & UVB

* Fragrance is pleasant, nothing special though

* Keeps my skin matte

* No stickiness & no greasiness

* Makes skin brighter & firmer upon application

* Vaseline Body Lotions are available in 3 sizes (100 ml, 200 ml, 300 ml)

Cons:


* Skin lightening does not seem to be true

* Staying power is horrible on dry skin




                          I rate Vaseline Healthy White Complete 10 Lightening & Anti-Aging Lotion 3.75 out of 5, this is not a body lotion suited for dry skin. But oily skin beauties will love it for day time use. Overall its a good body lotion and the only claim it didn't fulfill is the skin whitening part but I don't think using a lotion can make anyone fair. Recommended for beauties with oily/normal body skin.

BEAUTYDIVA INDIA'S 2nd ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY- MY FIRST GIVEAWAY 

For soft and glowing skin

100 ml for INR 65

Company Says: - Total Moisture Cocoa Glow lotion leaves your skin feeling healthy and glowing.

Ingredients: - Water, Soft Paraffin, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glycol Stearate and Stearamide AMP, Dimethicone, Dihydroxypropyl Triammonium Chloride, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Triethanolamine, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol,Carbopol, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Methylparaben, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Titanium Dioxide, CI 77944, Perfume.

My Opinion: - Body lotions are must for our skin in all seasons, especially if you have dry skin. Just as fall is approaching, my limbs are starting to get a little dry and by winter they are very dry. So I perk up my body care routine around this time every year.  I have been using the Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow 24hr Nourishing Lotion since last fall and loving it. Though I use body lotions from other brands, I keep coming back to this body lotion. Today I am putting forward my views on this body lotion. The packaging is simple but good looking. Plastic bronze flat bottle with chocolate flip-open lid. Nothing special or extraordinary but travel-friendly.

               This light (whitish) brown body lotion is thick and heavy creamy lotion. But it is non-sticky as well as non-greasy. I usually wait for a couple of minutes before putting on my clothes. My skin absorbs it very quickly and easily without much rubbing/massaging. Coming to the fragrance part, it delicious I would say :P Its chocolaty/caramely  fragrance also has a touch of coconut scent in it. The scent stays on for an hour or two before fading off completely. It’s a mild fragrance though.  I use it after bath every morning and night, I use on my whole body and I apply it by pouring some on my palm and rubbing the lotion between both palms to warm it a little. Then I spread it over my damp skin.

                 It keeps my skin soft and supple all day/night long. This body lotion gives enough moisture to my dry limbs and keeps them well nourished also. It stays on until I wash off with soap/body wash. It does not go with plain water alone. It contains Titanium Dioxide which acts as a sunscreen so I can use this body lotion during the day safely. I cannot say much about the 24hr claim because I never wore it for more than 8-9 hours. It is truly named ”Cocoa Glow” as it has given me glowing skin. this lotion is available in many sizes and therefore it can be used by all class of people.

THIS LOTION ISN'T WHITE, ITS WHITISH BROWNISH KINDA

Pros: -

* Affordable and easily Available

* Available in many sizes

* Does not wash off with water alone, soap is needed

* Stays on for long hours (8-9hours) until I wash it off

* Delicious fragrance, I love it very much

* Makes my skin glow

* Keeps my skin well moisturized and well nourished

* Makes my skin soft and supple

* Contains Titanium Dioxide hence I use it during the day safely

Cons: -

* Contains Parabens  (so what??? Most skin care products does and it’s not a problem with me)

        
                I rate this Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow 24hr Nourishing Lotion 5 out of 5. I fully recommend it to all girls with dry skin, but I can’t say if the ones with excessive dry skin will find it helpful. This is a must have body lotion for me though I keep experimenting with different brands.

With Thermal Minerals

White Clay

250 ml for INR 105

Company Says:- Indulge yourself in the sensation of wellbeing of a thermal spa experience with Palmolive Thermal SPA Massage Body Wash. This caring formula, containing thermal minerals, white clay and massaging micro-spheres, has a gentle exfoliating action that leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and full of vitality.

Ingredients:- Water Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Butylene/Ethylene Copolymer, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, Sodium Bicarbonate,Kaolin, Hydroxypropyl Guar, Xanthan Gum, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, PEG-8, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Benzophenone-4, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, External D & C Violet No. 2 CI 60730, Brilliant Blue FCF CI 42090

My Opinion:- Body washes are a favorite with me, I tend to pick up as many as possible and use them according to my mood. I have used Oriflame as well as Avon body washes and many other brands including Lux and the rest I can’t remember right now. But the one I am reviewing today is Palmolive Thermal SPA Massage Body Wash which is a pretty blue in color. It’s a frothy runny gel kind of body wash and it has some off-white particles in it which is very fine, not at all abrasive. These grains must be the white clay, thermal minerals and massaging micro-spheres but I am not sure.

             Coming to the fragrance, the smell reminds me of the deep blue seas. The fragrance is fresh, crisp and rejuvenating. It’s nothing special but I like it. Also I sometimes relate it to the fragrance of many gents personal care product but it’s not strong. I use it with a loofah on my wet skin. I put a blob or two on the wet loofah and lather it and then use it all over my body. This body wash lathers very much and I love all the lather over myself :P It is more effective when used with a loofah but when I use it with my hands it does not lathers up and also a lot of product is required.

                  This body wash gives a clean and refreshing feeling to my skin. I cannot say a word about the terms “Thermal”, “Spa” and “Massage” but it gives a gentle exfoliation to my skin and leaves it smooth and supple. It is a body wash and its main duty is to clean and that it does without a doubt. This body wash does not leave behind any residue on my skin and wash off with minimum effort. Do not need gallons and gallons of water like many other body washes require to get off my skin. the main advantage of this body wash is that it does not dehydrated or dry out  my skin and in every season it has kept my skin soft and smooth. A huge quantity of 250 ml is cheap for the price of 100 bucks. I don’t have any complains and its scent really gives the feeling of well being and freshness.

WHITE CLAY PARTICLES

Pros: -

* Affordable and easily available

* Lathers well but its soap free

* Cleans my skin without leaving behind any residue

* Keeps my skin soft and supple

* Does not dry out my skin, not even in the cold days

* Does not need gallons of water to wash off

Cons: -

* I don’t think the term “Thermal Spa Massage” has anything to do with this body wash

* Contains SLS

              I rate this Palmolive Thermal SPA Massage Body Wash 4 out of 5. I become weak when it comes to body washes so girls please excuse my rating :P since I am being a little partial towards this body wash. It’s nothing special but it does its job well. I shall definitely purchase the other variants of this body wash.
