QUEEN HELENE MINT JULEP MASQUE : THE BEST THERE IS REVIEW

Hey everyone!
Today I am going to share a big secret! Ah well its no secret how wonderful this MINT JULEP FACE MASQUE is. But I decided to share my experience and my take on the product with you all.
Skin care is serious stuff, you cant really mess with it. I remember back when I started using it  2009, yep its been that long since its a must have for me; I saw it on all the you tube videos, beauty gurus swearing by this product, but it was filthy cheap and I had my apprehensions I was perplexed weather or not to try it out  but eventually I decided to give it a try. And boy, am I glad or what?

What it claims to do:
PRICED at $3.79 USD and INR 525
This masque is the lovely green minty looking thick paste. And it comes in a tube with a dark green cap which snap shuts securely.
The only issue I have with the packaging is that the consistency of this masque is pretty thick and it is indeed an uphill task to take it out of the tube.
Once you conquer that feat its easy peasy from then on. There is direction given on the back of the tube on the way to use it.

Apply it on clean face and neck with your fingers its too thick to be applied with a brush. And then let it dry. I feel a cooling sensation and a little bit of tingling on the skin  while it dries.
Once it dries you know the drill...clean the face with water and pat down your face with a towel.
And now comes the time to see and feel the result. Does it perform?
HECK YEAH!!!
On all counts.
I immediately feel my skin tight and fresh feeling. I dont have visible large pores yet on my face, but whatever I do have I feel them to be tout and shrunken. I do have dry skin but it doesnt overly dry my skin which is an added bonus and it means it is going to work across all kind of skin tones. Its a total no brainer for oily skin, its a must have. If you have pimple prone skin then also this masque can come in handy. It reduces the redness on the pimples ans you will also find it shrunk in size after using this masque.
Okay you can go ahead and laugh! And do not apply the masque as I have done, it need not be this messy. I dont remember what hurry I was in.
There is nothing not to love about this masque, you can buy it online in INDIA from here  for INR 525. But the packaging is looking different.
It is a must have product for me. You should give it a try if you are into applying masque.

THE BODY SHOP VITAMIN E CREAM EXFOLIATOR : REVIEW

Hello there,
I am back with yet another post and for this post I am going to be reviewing  THE BODY SHOP VITAMIN E CREAM EXFOLIATOR.
What the company says:
A light and creamy facial scrub to gently exfoliate without irritating the skin, leaving it feeling smooth, soft and refined.
 PRICE: Rs.625 for 75ml /$15 USD.

PACAKGING: All the products in the vitamin e range come packaged in a translicent baby pink color. This exfoliator too is packed in a baby pink squeeze tube with a flip on lid which is secured tightly and thus makes it travel friendly.


APPLICATION: All of us need to exfoliate our skin time and again some more than others like me, who have dry skin and want to constantly keep removing the dead skin and feel hydrated and supple looking healthy skin. I am constantly on the look out for a product that will exfoliate my skin without hurting it.
Now this exfoliator is the perfect answer to all my worries. 

When you squeeze out the product you will see its pretty thick and looks like a cream, the micro beads are not very visible to the naked eye, when you wet the product and apply it on your wet face and neck and you massage it you will feel the microbeads exfoliating the skin at the same time the cream of the product would make you feel as if you are massaging your face with a rich cream rather than exfoliating it. Its not at all harsh on the skin.
When I bought this the SA told me to use it once a week, but I admit to using it more than that, I have extremely dry skin ,so it works for me to use it more often, but you be your own judge, use it only as much is required,


The end result is amazing, my skin feels so smooth and supple, I dont even feel the need to moisturize my face after using this, for quiet sometime, and I have dry dry skin, so coming from me, it means this product is really really creamy and exfoliating,its worth every penny spent.

I have been using this product for a long time, and one tube goes a long way. You dont need a lot of product to do the job.
I would definitely recommend it and repurchase it.
