Oilcraft Naturals Premium Rosewater Review! Can this be the best budget Rosewater?

For a Rosewater addict like me, it totally makes sense to try each one out there. So this-

Rosewaters are my life. They make the bulk of my luggage when I come back from India & I wouldn't have it any other way.
Thanks to all natural skincare, my skin is in its very best phase right now (Knocks wood!!)
Forest Essentials Delicate Facial Cleanser Saffron & Neem, followed by this Rosewater as toner & then Life-Flo Organic Pure Rosehip Seed Oil for moisturizing- That's my skincare summed up! (Rosehip Oil review here)

After Shayoni's glowing reviews of Kama Ayurveda Rosewater and Oilcraft Naturals Premium Rose Water, I knew what my next rosewaters will be. These two! And I actually frikkin love them both. Not that I didn't love my Forest Essentials & Fabindia Rosewaters any less though. Life's hard. So many choices. #FirstWorldProblems

Rosewater runs in every Indians blood. We swear by this stuff for any skin concern. We drink it (Rooh Afza), eat it (Gulkand, sweets), put it on as lotions, creams, face packs & spray it on as perfumes, facial tonics and cooling mists. And I wondered what triggered my love of Roses!

Oilcraft Naturals Premium Rosewater has definitely become one of my favorites. The price has to be a big factor in that, half the price for same quantity n quality as Forest Essentials and Kama Ayurveda. That's a hard one to beat for sure!

Life-Flo Pure Rosehip Seed Oil Review!

Oh how I love Rosehip Oil! I'm a certified Rosehip Oil addict & I absolutely love getting other people hooked on it. Nothing... I repeat...NOTHING has ever worked for my skin for so long. I've never been a one product person but this wonder oil is seriously additive & it makes me come back to it... for wherever I stray!

If you're interested in reading about benefits of Rosehip oil for your skin, I highly suggest you check out this post about Trilogy's Rosehip Oil. I went in depth in that one! For a one liner- Rosehip Oil is extracted out of fruit (hips) of Roses. The Oil is rich in Vitamin A and Omega 3,6,9. These essential fatty acids put life back into dry, dehydrated skin and are proven to reduce appearance of scars & stretch marks.

Trilogy's Rosehip Oil was expensive. I'm not super rich... OK. I'm not even rich. $24 for 30ml of oil is not my thing! I was bound to look for alternatives. While shopping on iHerb.com... I spotted this Life Flo Rosehip Oil- $5.69 for 30ml. What a score!
 Add to cart... 5 days later. Bingo... its in my hand!

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub Review!

Don't even ask why this hasn't been on the blog yet..like..DON'T EVEN...! I'm so sure I wrote a review of it but can't find it anywhere in the drafts. What is this sorcery?

I'm on my second tub of this gorgeous sugar scrub. Its from Lush and it's divine!
It's aptly named Bubblegum Lip Scrub "My Boy Lollipop"!! Whoever thought of that name....

Go ahead and call it overpriced..after all it's just Sugar with a bit of Jojoba oil and flavorings but be damn assured it works. If you're lazy to make one for yourself... go buy this!! (Here's my DIY Lip Scrub Recipe by the way!)

Essence Cosmetics Review!

Have you heard? I'm sure you have! A new brand has reached our shores and its not #BreakYourBank kinda brand.. Its Europe's no. 1 selling "Essence Cosmetics"- Affordable, functional, fresh and always evolving. It's pretty exciting actually. Here's a good before and after shot to get the ball rolling!

Do I have your attention now?

Ok..So I was sent a couple of their products to review last month. I felt like doing a full one brand look. Never done one of those before so went ahead and bought some more of their products from Farmers NZ. Remember I posted a pic of Essence display over on our Instagram?

So here's a one brand look cum review of Essence products I've used in this look. All Essence and nothing else. Ok..Except Moisturizer and Lip balm.

March 2015 Empties!

What a brilliant month - Consumed by the excitement of cricket world cup and nostalgia of summers. Winters were never my forte but alas they are here. Looks like I'd be spending them tossing through the pictures of the adventurous summer I had!

Time for another round of empties! This month's edition features-

1.) The Body Shop Olive Body Butter ($36.95 for 200 ml)
Having used numerous TBS body butters over the years, I have to say this one wasn't a favorite..mostly coz its too boring, smells bland. I'd rather go for something that smells of fresh berries & reminds me of gorgeous summer days!
It moisturizes pretty well though. No qualms about that.
