Fogg Ossum Body Mists - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

Hey Peeps !  

Welcome back .. 

Fogg came up with a series of Body Mists for Women called Ossum and me being a huge fragrance hoarder, I had to try them all :P and as the title suggests I will be reviewing these products for you guys. It comes in 4 variants; Pleasure, Delight, Romance and Blossom.

To know my experience with these, stay tuned till the end !! 

Product Description :

What does the Product Claim:

Fogg have launched this series Ossum in 4 variants namely: Pleasure, Delight, Romance and Blossom. All 4 variants claim to have Aqua component as the Base Note with Spicy, Floral, Fresh and Fruity components as the Top Notes in them. 

Pleasure :

Delight :

Romance :

Blossom :

Packaging :

• All 4 variants come in a Cardboard Box which contain a Plastic Bottle which in turn are color coordinated.
• All 4 variants come with a cap and normal spray mechanism. I love the spray mechanism for these as it gives a really fine mist.
• These mists come in 2 sizes; 190 ml and 115 ml. I personally will prefer 115 ml packaging as it is smaller in size and I can carry it in my purse without any fuss.
• Some details are mentioned on the front of the bottle with some Holographic content. Moreover, some details like ingredients etc. are mentioned on the back of each bottle.
• The cap is a little lose for some bottles and one might ending losing it if you carry it when travelling.
• Packaging is simple, sturdy, basic, decent  handy and travel friendly 
• There are 4 variants, catering to 4 fragrance categories : aqua/fresh, fruity, floral and spicy respectively, so there is something for everyone. 

My Experience with this ..!

All 4 of these have Aqua fragrance as their Base note with varying notes as Spicy, Fresh, Floral and Fruity as the Top note. All 4 are strong and long lasting. Individual reviews coming up:

• Pleasure - This one comes in a Aqua Blue color bottle. This one has Aqua and Fresh fragrance. It is not completely fresh like Cinthol :P, but it has Fresh and some Floral notes to it. I absolutely love this fragrance. This one is easily my favorite of the 4 variants.

• Delight - This one comes in a Purple color bottle. This one has White Floral components as the Top Note and Aqua components as the Base Note. This is my second favorite of the 4. If you love Long Lasting mists, go for this one as this is easily the most long lasting of these 4 variants. It will easily last for around 5-6 hours.This fragrance is the strongest and most long lasting one out of the 4 variants.

• Romance - This one comes in a beautiful Pink bottle. This one has Aqua and Fruity notes in it. If you like Fruity fragrances, then you are going to love this one. This is also very long lasting and on the stronger side.

• Blossom - This one comes housed in a Orangish Red bottle. This one has Aqua and Spicy fragrance. If you are someone who likes Aqua with Spicy notes then I highly recommend using this one.

All the 4 variants are on the stronger fragrance category, if you are someone with a sensitive nose then Stay Far Away from these fragrances .. If you are someone like me .. as in .. who enjoys long lasting strong on your face kind of fragrances .. this could become your next favorite .. especially the purple variant :) 

In terms of my personal liking .. I love the purple variant (Delight), followed by Blue Variant(Pleasure), followed by Pink Variant(Blossom) and last is spicy red variant(Blossom).

Moi by Nykaa Raison D’Etre Eau de Parfum - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

Hey Everyone!  

Welcome back .. 

A fragrance lover can never get over blogging about any fragrance that they come across , it's an addiction and I have no shame in admitting that I am an addict :P 

Today I will be reviewing one of the original fragrances by Nykaa - Moi by Nykaa Raison D’Etre - Eau de Parfum.

Hope you enjoy reading the review & know my experience with this product.

 Product Description : 

What does the Product Claim:

Moi by Nykaa is a collection of fragrances that takes its name from the French word ‘moi’ translating to ‘me’. Designed in Paris, the collection is crafted as a fragrance wardrobe to offer you a scent for every mood. Now every day, you can match your fragrance to the way you feel!

Raison d’etre, the French phrase translating to ‘reason for being’ inspires a subtle, yet elegant fragrance to give you an air of calm domination. Here, a well-crafted potion of sensual Rose and Vanilla is tapered with Musk and Vetyver for a powerfully feminine feel. A sensual fresh fragrance depicting the modern and liberated woman of today.

Top Notes: Neroli, Bergamot, Orange Blossom

Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Rose, Patchouli

Base Notes: Musk, Vanilla, Vetyver

Packaging :

• It comes in a beautiful see through glass bottle with a similar glass cap and simple spray nozzle to dispense the product.
• The bottle has a printed pink blossom flowers design on the back of the glass bottle which makes the overall packaging look pretty and feminine.
• The bottle does not contain any product information. For that you will have to keep the outer cardboard packaging intact with you.
• The cap is a little lose so it might not turn out to be travel friendly.

My Experience with this ..! 

To start off with my experience with this EDP , the very first thing that I noticed was the packaging .. It looks so pretty with those pink blossom flowers making it an ideal candidate for gifting purposes or to display and flaunt in my vanity :)

Coming to the fragrance, the fragrance is fruity floral category that has very strong hints of Bergamot, Rose, Patchouli and Vanilla .. It lasts for around 4 to 5 hours and then it fades gracefully. Overall the fragrance is quite strong, deep and more like something that I would wear during night time, say when I am probably going on a date night sorts :) 

I really like the fragrance a lot and find myself reaching out for it but It is little expensive considering that it is from in house Nykaa brand perfume .. I would have loved it more had it been a little more affordable. Also, it is available only in Nykaa stores and their online website.

How much does it Cost? !! :

You can buy Moi by Nykaa Raison D’Etre Eau de Parfum using following link:-

Nykaa (100 ML Costs - Rs-1800/-)

What Did I like about this product ?:

• The fragrance is fruity, floral and deep 
• It is long lasting.
• Overall Packaging is impressive.
• Night time dinner date or party appropriate fragrance

What did I dislike about this product:.

• It is little Expensive considering it is an in house brand by Nykaa.
• Packaging is good but not so travel safe.
• Not available in regular stores , have to order online or from Nykaa store.
• Contains alcohol , so may be unsuitable for some who are allergic or sensitive towards it.

Rating !! : 

Rating would be : 4/5

Plum Green Tea Renewed Clarity Night Gel - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

Hey Lovelies !  

Welcome back .. Hope you guys are doing well .. !!

As you might know already, I am someone with normal to oily skin, especially with my T-Zone being oily and rest of the skin seemingly normal. I obviously have a lot of breakouts and zits every now and then, also I keep suffering with a lot with acne issues, leaving my skin with permanent blemish marks and wretched uneven patches. The sun shows no mercy with end result being uneven skin tone with dark marks, spots and uneven patches around cheeks, temples and forehead. 

To make my skin better in the long run, I went through a lot of products and ended up loving the whole range from Plum. Today, I would we would be reviewing the night gel - "Plum Green Tea Renewed Clarity Night Gel" from Plum’s range of products.

Using depigmentation creams was one of the many steps towards improving my skin, I have been using this for some time now as a Night cream and I am so proud to say that my skin is healthy, almost spot free has even skin tone and has remarkably proved to be a blessing for me at times I needed the most.

To know further about my blemished skin to blemish free skin transformation ..Please keep on reading .. !!

What Product claims : 

Your skin needs night time hydration and nourishment. But if you have oily skin, you must've tried night cream after night cream, and are still tired of waking up every morning with an oily skin. Presenting a breakthrough product from Plum for clear, fresh and hydrated skin every morning. Minus the greasiness! 

The refreshing gel-like texture is LOADED with antioxidants (from green tea, ginkgo and goji berry) and plant nutrients (from aloe, licorice and willow bark) for clear, even-toned skin. We've chosen argan oil (a non-comedogenic beauty) to get you balanced hydration minus the oiliness and clogged pores. 

Brand & Product Details : !

Plum is, not only, a completely vegan brand but their products are completely free of Parabens, Phthalates, Propylene Glycol, SLS, DEA & PABA. This in itself sets them apart from the crowd. They do not test their products on animals and are inclined towards natural and organic products.

Key Ingredients :

Aqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Argania Spinsosa (Argan) Oil, Betaine, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Fragrance, CI 19140, CI 42090,Glycolic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Lycium Barbarum (Goji) Fruit Extract, , Phenoxyethanol, Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract.

Packaging & Texture:

• It comes in a frosty glass tub/tumbler with a matte silver cover lid to prevent the product from spilling out.It also has an inner lid that prevents the gel to stick to the outer cover.
• The gel is medium consistency , its neither too thick nor too runny, greenish in color and doesn't leave any white cast on the skin.
• Texture is very smooth, gel like, very light, non greasy and glides on perfectly on the skin leaving it hydrated.
• As the product claims, it is filled with anti-oxidants like green tea, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, lyceum barbarum(goji) fruit extract which are great for our skin.
• It takes only a pea size amount for face and neck and lasts for almost 6 months.

My Take on this ..! 

Well this night gel revolutionized the way my skin was and transformed it into something that I could not believe. I don't claim that this worked out fastest for me .. NO! .. I had to be very patient and I used it without daily on everyday basis as my night cream for almost 6 months to see the best results.

I have a fixed night skin routine of cleansing my face, followed by toner, followed by this cream. I need only a pea sized amount for my entire face and neck and I gently rub it in till it gets completely absorbed. It doesn't leave any white cast or oily layer .. It is very comfortable to wear this gel and sleep overnight. I wake up in the morning with very soft and supple skin. I have used this gel after my acne was treated and my face was a cluster of dark spots and marks. I saw the difference in my skin within 2 weeks and I was very happy the way it worked. I never got any zits or breakouts while using this. So overall it just worked perfectly for me and even my friends could notice the change in my skin.

The gel has a green tint to it and it smells very fresh. On application it gets absorbed in no time and leaves a slight healthy sheen on my face. It does tingle a little due to the ingredients, nothing that disturbs me though, its just the product working on the skin. 

It has been more than 6 months now that I have been using this with remarkable results , in fact beyond expectation and I absolutely rave about this one.. 

How much does it Cost? !! :

1. Amazon - 50 ml costs Rs 518/-
2. Flipkart - 50 ml costs Rs 401/-

What Did I like about this product ?:

• Worked best on uneven skin tone, dark patches, dark spots.
• It doesn't have any harmful or harsh ingredients.
• Smooth textured and sinks in the skin in no time.
• doesn't cast any white cast on the skin post application.
• It does help in clearing acne and also acts to calm down the inflammation in the skin due to pimples and acne breakouts.
• No new breakout or zits after using this.
• Affordable.

What did I dislike about this product:

The only criticism for people who are too specific about the packaging could be that it comes in a glass tumbler which could be unhygienic. But if you are someone who does not get bothered with such nitty-gritty bits of packaging, just like me, then it's just fine. Cos for me the end result is what matters the most.

Recommended to use ?? 

Yes, if you are someone struggling with acne and uneven skin tone and patches then please please please give yourself the goodness of what this has to offer and let it work on your skin.

Final Take & Rating !! : 

Rating would be : 5/5

Fiama Di Wills - Peach & Avocado Shower Gel - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

Hi Friends !! 

Welcome back .. Hope you all are doing well.. :) 

Today I am going to review Peach & Avocado Shower Gel by Fiama Di Wills.To know more about my experience with the shower gel .. keep on reading .. 

Which Brand is it ?? : 

Fiama Di Wills is an Indian personal care brand that offers shampoos, conditioner, bathing bars and shower gels. Fiama offers a range of expert solutions designed to make consumers look and feel young. With innovation at its core, Fiama offers an enviable portfolio of products developed through years of scientific research at Laboratoire Naturel.

The product claims : 

A Sensuous Bathing Experience meets Irresistibly Soft Skin with Fiama Shower Gels. They are enriched with Skin Conditioner with Moisture Lock giving you soft, moisturized and youthful skin round the clock. Yet another innovation from Laboratoire Naturel, with natural ingredients and irresistible fragrances gives you an unmatchable bathing experience.

How does it Look and smell like ?:

• It comes with a clear, plastic bottle packaging with an orange flip cap. The shower gel is basically orange in color making the whole bottle look Orange with tiny exfoliating beads. 
• Dispensing the product is very convenient with a small nozzle on top , which is covered by the flip cap.
• Consistency is more towards the thicker side rather than being on the runny side which is nice.
• A decent amount of shower gel is needed for the entire body as it lathers well. So one bottle will last for 1-2 months.
• It never leaves my skin dry , so I can very well use it even during Winter season.
• Fragrance is so pleasant and amazing. As soon as you open the bottle, you can smell an amazing scent of fruits especially dominated by peach and the best part is that the scent stays for a decent time after using.
• Packaging is very sturdy and is travel friendly.

Variants Available:

There are several other shower gels available in Fiama Di Wills which would cater to all skin types.You will never be bored as you will enjoy a wide range of products to try out. Buy a couple of shower gels and keep switching :) 

 How I like to use this :

Shower Gels are most convenient to use .. And they bring out the best bathing experience .

I prefer using a loofah when I am using shower gel as it makes lathering easier. I would take some amount of shower gel on my loofah .. gently massage on the body and wash it away under the shower ..  It cleanses the body well and is non-drying, so overall it is a pleasant experience. I particularly like the fragrance of it as my whole bathroom smells like a fruit basket after the shower :) .. its fruity pleasant and long lasting as well. Apart from all of this it also is on the inexpensive side , so that's a bonus !

I do want to mention that the formula is gel based , so it does take a while to wash off completely , and sometimes it feels like some product is still left to be washed off from the skin , all gel based shower gels feel the same and this is no exception.Also the exfoliating beads are non abrasive and i feel that they literally do nothing much in removing dead skin.

Key Ingredients :

key Ingredients listed below:

How much does it Cost? !! :

You can get this using the following links:-
1. Amazon -  250 ml for Rs 250/-

• Packaging is cute , sturdy and travel friendly.
• It leaves my skin soft and does not rip off the moisture.
• Fragrance is milfruity ,pleasant.
• Ingredients are more natural and organic.
• Less Quantity needed , so 250 ml is sufficient to last for 2 months if you do not share it :P .
• Several other variants are available almost for all skin types.
• Good for everyday use for all skin types as it is non-drying.

What did I dislike about this product:

I don't have much to complaint about this product , the only con that I could mention is that this product being gel based is slightly difficult to wash off .

Recommended to use ?? 

Yes , If you are on a hunt of everyday affordable shower gel that is good in quality and also gives that satisfying bath experience then please try these shower gels they are pretty good.
