Try out a cream that makes you smell like an ice-cream - Himalaya's Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream

Imagine a cream that will make you crave for a tub of ice cream on a cold winter morning !😉 Himalaya Herbals' Rich Cocoa Butter Body Cream did just that to me.

The moment you open the tub, there is a sweet fragrance of cocoa butter. The fragrance lingers on for quite some time and leaves you feeling and smelling good. 

Body creams are something that my skin demands every day, all thanks to my dry skin.😐 Why just winters, I apply a generous amount of body butters almost all year round. Unfortunately, its difficult to find a good body cream/ body butter at a pocket friendly price. Anything that I apply on my skin should also smell good. Only Body Shop's Body butters have been able to satisfy my cravings so far. However, as we all know, they are not very easy on the pocket. I was very happy to find this tub of great smelling body cream from Himalaya Herbals. If it is from the house of Himalayas, I do not need to worry about the quality at all. They have great products.

What does the product offer?

Texture : It has a rich, creamy texture which keeps your skin hydrated for a very long time. Initially because of the rich feel of the cream, you might think that it is greasy but it isn't. The cream gets absorbed into your skin within seconds, leaving you smelling good and your skin feeling moisturized. The cream lingers on my extremely dry skin for around 5-6 hours, which is a very good bet. I also double it up as a hand cream sometimes after bath because of the softness that it provides!

Packaging: It comes in a plastic tub packaging which is easy to carry. The cream is further protected by an inner plastic lid. 

Pricing : It is an extremely affordable option in the body butter / cream category. Intense moisturizing, nice fragrance and quality ingredients, it is everything that you will swear by in the winters. A 200 ml tub is priced at Rs. 270. What more can you ask for ? 

What I like about the cream:

• Great fragrance
• Nice, Creamy texture which isn't greasy and is absorbed quickly
• Leaves the skin feeling soft and nicely moisturized
• Can double up as a hand cream as well 😉😉
• Last but definitely not the least -  easy on the pocket

Overall, this is an extremely dependable product from Himalaya's trusted range which is bound to become your best friend this winter and in many more winters to come.

What I didn't like ? Nothing.

FACES Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon - Review and Swatches

What happens when you find a package containing 3 brand new shades of lipsticks in the first working week of 2017 ? It simply makes your day !! That is exactly what happened when I found the newly launched shades of FACES Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayons in my mailbox in the beginning of this year.

FACES' lip crayons are a good bet. I prefer their lip crayon over Lakme and Revlon's lip crayons at this price range.

This time they have 23 new shades for you, which includes 17 matte shades and 6 starry matte shades with light shimmer.

I got the following shades :

Pink Pout - A lovely pink shade which can be flaunted on any regular day

Not So Wine - A personal favourite, this is the classic wine shade that is perfect for a winter morning when you wish you try on a bold shade

Brunette - This is a dark brown shade which is indispensable in anyone's make up kit

What I feel about the product ?

Texture and Pigmentation: The lip crayons are perfectly pigmented and they give you smooth coverage in just one swipe. Repeat if you want a darker shade.The texture is that of a perfect matte.I have worn them on both dry lips and hydrated ones. I loved the texture in both cases because they didn't make my lips feel flaky and dry right after application. However, because of my dry lips, its always better if I apply it on hydrated lips. 

Packaging: It comes in a plastic crayon tube with a plastic cap, very similar to their creamy lip crayon range. The tube has to be sharpened and comes with a free sharpener. Yes, there is wastage whenever there is sharpening involved. 

Staying power: The lip crayon stayed on my lips for about 6-7 hours. Even though it slightly transfers, the texture and colour will linger on your lips for quite some time. Even after a heavy meal, the shade was intact on my lips with mild fading. The shade could be completely removed only by a make up remover. There is no bleeding or staining of lips.

A 2.8g gram tube comes a price of Rs. 799.

What could be better ?

• I wish it came in a retractable tube so that there was no need of sharpening

• The pricing is a little on the higher side :(
