VLCC Natural Sciences Kajal Review

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder…Let me rephrase it…Your beauty is in your eyes…

Eyes are the most important feature of your face. It’s the eye that sees the beauty and it’s the eye that attracts the beauty…

Girls you all will agree to me when I say that your makeup is not complete without a proper eye makeup…

Everyone loves those kohl-eyed beauties…beauties with smoky eyes…don’t we?

I am a true make up junkie and I just can’t imagine myself going out without my eye makeup and my BFF for my eyes…is a sexy…black…intense Kajal…

At times all I need is one stroke of it and I am sorted. I have always loved how Kajal intensifies your look…changes you from drab to drool…

So here I am today reviewing VLCC Natural Sciences Kajal…

What the product says:

A unique formulation that does not smudge, smear or fade after application. The goodness of natural oils and herbal extract nourish and relax the eyes.

What it contains?:

Price:  150 INR (Pack of 2) (I got it for 99 INR during a sale)

Net Quantity: 2.5gm * 2 (5g)

Where do you get it from? All leading websites … I got mine from my favorite beauty website NYKAA

Bohemian Mistletoe says:

Kajals or Kohls are a craze amongst Indian women and trust me I am no different. I am a hoarder of anything related to eye makeup. I have tons of beautiful coloured eyeliners…eye pencils…eye shadows and kohls…

My first stint with Kajal was “Jai Kajal” a cute green tub (finger application)… Tedious to apply but has no options then…

So coming back to VLCC Kajal…VLCC products are fabulous because they have a lot of natural ingredients in them.

I agree I have many Kohl pencils but I still wanted to own one great Kajal…On NYKAA during a sale I came across VLCC Kajal just for 99 INR (Actual price being 150 INR). I couldn’t resist and picked it up.

To my surprise when I got the delivery…I got not one but two pieces…I just can’t explain how happy I felt…In 99 INR I got two Kajal pieces which is such a loot…

Undoubtedly, this Kajal is dark…intense and stands out. I normally put just one stroke of it but during some occasions it has to be two strokes and trust me it gives an intensifying look. It is smooth and glides well. I normally use it on my waterline and have faced no irritation.

I wear contact lenses and have not faced issue with it…it has Triphala in it to improve your vision (well..I can’t comment on this as I have started using this some two weeks ago)

It also has Almond Oil that keeps your eyes clear…

Now…I have an oily skin and also because of this scorching heat I have experienced that this Kajal tends to smudge…but after a good 3-3.5 hours of application.

If you are always under air conditioned environment then you don’t have to worry at all. Also during winters it won’t be an issue…But I really doubt whether it could handle the Mumbai Rains.

It does smudge but little and that too in the outer corner of your eyes… and I think for such an economical price this product is a great catch.

Packaging

It comes in lipstick type packaging and has a transparent plastic lid. Now I am sure the plastic will get a lot of scratches and make the lid look pathetic…so I am not a fan of this type of packaging because it doesn’t let you sharpen the tip when it becomes blunt and that’s the reason why I prefer pencil Kajals.

What I like about the product?

• Intensely black
• Smooth and glides easily
• Very economical
• Fragrance of Almond Oil could be felt
• Waterline friendly
• Contact lens friendly
• Made up of natural ingredients
• Shelf life of 2 years 
• Calm and soothing
• Fits your purse easily

What I do not like about the product?

• Packaging is a turnoff
• Sharpening the tip is gonna be tedious
•  It does smudge…but little… (Have to be honest about it)

Ratings:

4 out of 5 (One point deducted for the packaging)

Would I repurchase it?

Price is super economical and that’s why I wouldn't mind purchasing it again during a sale. It is very handy when you up for a casual day.

It is not the best but a good one.

So, lovelies do share with me what type of Kajals you use and what has been your experience with them.

Would be more than happy to interact.

Till then XOXO

Fash Face Cleanser Review

Are you finicky about your facial skin?

Do you think like 100 times before trying a new face wash?

Do you again and again look into your mirror to see whether your skin has had a breakout or not?

If the answer is yes….read ahead…

How many of you have never changed your face wash for 6-7 years?

Many of you...right?

Count me in too...

I can never experiment with my facial skin. Not after the day I had developed dirty black marks on my face because of a facial that had gone horribly wrong…horrendously wrong.

The scars were so deep and visible that I used to cringe when I used to see my face in the mirror.

After that, my aunt took me to the best dermatologist in my area and with proper medications my face looked clear in just three months…

But those three months were such an ordeal!!!

My dermatologist recommended me to use a medicated face wash…twice a day and in summers thrice…

So here I am writing today a review on a medicated face wash that I am using for past 6-7 years.

With its specially developed formulation, Fash helps remove dirt, dead cells and excessive oil without leaving skin feeling dry.

Fash comes in a tube of white and blue colour and trust me its nowhere close to fancy. The blue colour is quite attractive.

The name Fash, I think is the combination of two word…Face and Wash…

The first day when I used Fash, I saw that my face looked fresh.

Eventually it became my Holy Grail. So wherever I went, it had to be with me….By default !!!

Within three months of regular usage all my visible marks had gone. I am not exaggerating or being biased but all it took was three months and I got my flawless skin back.

I do not deny that even a healthy diet and medicines played a role. But 50% of the role was played by FASH.

I vividly remember just a week of using Fash gave me a compliment from a colleague “What have you done to your skin…it is glowing” (All I could do was…Blush….)

Texture

It is a thick blue liquid…has a texture like syrup. It is not at all watery. If you get a watery one that means the product is either expired or about to expire… (experienced this too)

The thick texture makes you take a little more quantity only then it lathers well.

Packaging

Image Courtesy: Bohemian Mistletoe

It is a sturdy squeeze tube with a tight flip cap. As I mentioned earlier, it has no fancy packaging. It is light weight and hence it is travel friendly. The only glitch I have found about this product is it tends to leak and that is why it is advisable to wrap it up in a plastic.

P.S. Do not ever keep it in your vanity case.

If you have oily to normal skin and if it tends to breakout at times….this is the face wash for you…People who have extremely oily skin will also benefit from this product because it keep oiliness at bay for a good 3-4 hours. It cleans your face and gives it a clear look.

And this face wash can be used by men as well. My guy friends use it and they have absolutely no complaints about it.

When you use it during winters you may find that your skin feels stretchy after using this product but it’s nothing serious.

Fragrance

It has a strong fragrance but only when you take it in your palm and when you lather it. Later on the fragrance subsides but it still lingers (Mild). So for all you lovelies who have a sensitive nose…I may not recommend this to you.

What I like about the product?

• Perfect for oily to normal skin
• Guys...fret not!!! Perfectly suitable for your facial skin 
• Travel friendly tube
• One tube lasts for two and half months 
• Budget Friendly (Rs 175 only) 
• Medicated face wash...has no side effects at all 
• Reduces occurrences of break outs

What I do not like about the product? 

• Eventhough it has a tight cap, the tube leaks when you keep it in your luggage...annoying at times as it has to be wrapped when you take it with you
• Contains SLS…but nowadays all products do contain it…
• Availability only at medical stores and they stock up very less…at times you do not get it too…

But I am a happy user of FASH. These miniscule negative points can never overpower what this product has done for my skin.

My Ratings

4.5 out of 5 (0.5 points deducted because of the spillover)

5 out of 5 for its efficacy

Would I repurchase ?

Ofcourse yes… till I am alive… Infact I recommend this face wash to all my friends who have issues with their oily skin.

So lovelies, meet you soon with my new review….till then do leave comments…

Did you face any skin woes? If yes, how did you combat it? Do share your experience at Bohemian Mistletoe…Will be glad to have an interaction with you
