Product Empties – June Edition

     Hello chicas! Back with another vid for you guys with a quick run through of the products that I was able to finish. I actually have quite a bit that I wanted to share with you guys but the time constraint of keeping the vids in an acceptable viewing range is a huge problem. I end up recording 30-40 min long ones and then I have to brutally cut them to fit 10-15 minutes. Its insane I tell you 😛 Put a person in front of a cam…namely me…and they will blab their heads off. What is funny is probably I wont be speaking much if you put me in a group. I guess I like the sound of my own voice and the “gyan” I can churn up. Hmm…I’m detecting some major issues here that I probably need to address 😀

 

     Well the matter I will look into later on so lets get on with the empties for now. Btw I do want to know if you guys like the vid or would you rather prefer that I go back to post format for them. Depending on the take away I would like to adjust to your preferences. Let me run by the products again here once and maybe I will remember some points that I had to edit out…

 

1. Kielh’s Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Conditioner – It contains Olive and Avocado oils and is meant for Dry, Damaged and Under-Nourished hair, This is an amazing product and you must try it out. It controls frizz, adds shine and leaves hair super soft as well as smelling wonderful. My friend who recommended the product to me told me that her boyfriend really liked the smell of it so that is probably an additional reason for you to give this baby a shot 😉 Drop by the Kiehl’s store and pick up a sample of it. A lot of people commented on my hair in my OOTD – Shades Of Purple And Grey post and I had used this conditioner back then. This will give you movie star like hair…like seriously! Undoubtedly on my repurchase list. Price is Rs. 1290/- for 200 ml.

 

2. Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal Extract Toner – This is an alcohol free toner and ideal for people who have issues with it. It is quite gentle on the skin. For me, this was ok and didn’t do much ie didn’t keep my pimples or rash at bay or anything. It was just a toner ie a part of my routine. Till date I still prefer the Clinique one coz that made my skin behave and I don’t have sensitivity to alcohol. This is quite pricey and I had bought it at Rs. 2500/- for 250 ml. Having said that it lasted me for almost 2 years so it becomes cost effective in that manner. But I will not repurchase this as I would prefer that my toner gives me some additional benefit rather than the basic purpose it is meant for.3. Label M Dry Shampoo – I have a detailed review for this which you can read here. Oh incidentally I had paid Rs 720/- for it and not 900 like I mentioned in the vid. Even though I didn’t like it I still stuck to it coz I wanted to get over it with it somehow. And I would have to go to town with it aka spray it on like there was no tomorrow and then tie my hair up to sort of add to the disguise further. And towards the end it got worse where the particles being visible in my hair thing happened. So no I don’t like it, would not repurchase it and don’t recommend it.

4. L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara – Like I mention in the vid this is my current HG mascara and on my repurchase-for-life list. So far nothing has beaten this for me in the results it gives. I am yet to try some of the talked about International brands but given how easily this is available I will still be leaning towards this for now. I prefer to pick the water resistant version as my eyes are very sensitive to water proof formulations.

5. M&S Magnolia Hand Wash – This is a moisture rich hand wash part of their floral collection. Ok usually soaps which are supposed to be SLS free tend not to lather well but that is not the case with this as it does contain SLS in it. It does smell really nice and does not dry out your hands but I feel that it is lacking as a soap since a) it does not lather well unless you use a lot of it and b) it is pricey in that manner as it gets over too fast. This costs Rs. 199/- for 200ml and I feel that it is more of a decorative kind of thing rather than a practical use product. The China Blue variant of it is still better as it lathers well even in a little quantity. But still I doubt if I will ever repurchase any handwash from this brand.

6. Indola Innova Specialist Dandruff Shampoo – This is really really good and it is very hard to find now that Slassy does not stock it anymore. I hope some other Indian website picks this up soon. It is extremely effective in any kind of dandruff situation I had going on. Sometimes during summers things would get really bad and I would get major itching on my scalp but ever since I have been using this product I have forgotten all about any past dandruff issues. It is very gentle on the hair and does not coz damage like how a lot of the effective medicated ones do. I would advise you to use it like I do ie as a treatment shampoo. I first wash the dirt and grime from my hair with a regular shampoo and then I take little of a treatment shampoo and apply it to my scalp. I then let it remain there for a few minutes while I go wash and scrub my face. After that I wash the shampoo out and apply my conditioner. This way it gets to work on a clean scalp and even get a couple on minutes to seep in. I paid Rs. 120/- for 100ml of product. Do try it out if you can lay your hands on it.

     Well that wraps up the empties for this month and I hope I can share the rest with you next month. Sometimes I just don’t feel like getting into detailed reviews for products and I guess this is a good way to sum things up and even give you guys a glimpse into the stuff that I have used over an extended period of time. As always waiting to hear from you guys and please do subscribe to the channel if you haven’t yet. Astala vista :*
