FabIndia Jasmine Body Spray - 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 fragrances that I tried recently and really liked it. It is by FabIndia- FabIndia Jasmine - Body Spray.

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

 Product Description : 

What does the Product Claim:

A lightweight Body Spray that you can use all over the body. Do not use on open wounds or broken skin. A natural, mild and pleasant fragrance to keep you fresh through the day.

Spray lightly onto your pulse points in the morning after Bath and refresh throughout the day with our body sprays.

Packaging :

• It comes in a very simple white colored plastic bottle with a see through plastic cap and simple spray nozzle to dispense the product.
• The bottle has a FabIndia sticker with Jasmine print on the front of the bottle which makes the overall packaging look pretty and feminine.
• The cap is a nice and tight making it easy to carry in the purse and hence its very travel friendly.

My Experience with this ..! 

To start off with my experience with this Body Spray, the very first thing that I noticed was the packaging .. It has that element of simplicity in it .. the bottle is a no-fuss simple plastic bottle. The pump dispenses decent spray and few spritz are enough for 4-5 hours.

Coming to the fragrance, it has that really good scent of Jasmine flower and this floral scent feels very fresh and refreshing. Since I love the Jasmine fragrance, this Body Spray smells amazing to me and uplifts my mood even on bad days :P. This fragrance lies in mild to strong range. The fragrance may be a little strong for some people but since I am a fan of strong fragrances, I love it. 

Overall I like the fragrance as it is one of the calming fragrances and it is something I like to put when I feel indecisive and confused .. The Jasmine helps immensely in calming down and bring that clarity in thoughts.

How much does it Cost? !! :

You can buy FabIndia Jasmine Body Spray using following link:-

What Did I like about this product ?:

• The fragrance is calming one with Jasmine as the most dominating fragrance.
• Packaging is simple and travel friendly.
• It is affordable.
• Easily available in general stores as well as online.

What did I dislike about this product:.

Vaseline Cocoa Glow Moisturizing Cream Review| Shriya Sagdeo | Beautyandthecode

Hi Friends !! 

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

As we are transitioning from Winters into Summer .. I am literally craving over products that help to hydrate my skin. I have combination skin which is normal to oily .. But during summers my skin leans towards dry side .. so does in winters .. I know it seems my skin has a brain of its own !! anyways I end up with more and more moisturizers.

Today I am going to review Vaseline Cocoa Glow Moisturizing Cream.

To know more about my experience with the Cocoa Glow Moisturizing Cream .. keep on reading .. 

Product Claims ?? : 

We believe that Healthy skin starts with deep moisturization. In our Vaseline Cocoa Glow Moisturizing Cream, we have combined micro-droplets of Vaseline-A Jelly with a fast-absorbing, non-greasy moisturizing formula. The result is a body cream that moisturizes to restore dry skin, leaving it looking and feeling rejuvenated.

With 100% pure cocoa butter, Vaseline-A Cocoa Glow Moisturizing cream moisturizes to restore dry skin and reveal its natural glow. Its luxurious formula doesn't leave greasy feel on skin. It can be used as a multi-purpose cream.

With 100% pure cocoa butter, which is a natural fat that comes from cocoa bean. butter from cocoa is known to helps improve skin elasticity and promote healthy collagen production. Its emollience properties make it one of the best moisturizers for skin Cocoa Butter is known to provide nourishment to skin and Petroleum jelly locks in moisture in skin.

Features and Benefits:

• Moisturize dry and dull-looking skin in just a few days.
• Provide fast-absorbing skin care and a luxurious, non-greasy feel.
• Rich Cocoa Fragrance
• Multi-purpose cream
• Skin care solution for achieving soft, glowing skin.
• Best Suited for: very dry and dull skin
• Best way to moisturize is scoop, rub on palm and pamper your skin.

How does it Look and smell like ?:
Packaging:

• Packaging is simple .. It comes in a "cocoa color" (light brown+ dark brown) colored plastic tub /Tumbler with a screw cap which s quite flat as compared to other moisturizers in market.
• When you open the lid, you will find an aluminium cover / lid protecting the cream from accessing it directly.You need to peel it off to get to the product. 
• The moment you open the lid, you will get a gust of cocoa fragrance which seems as pure as coffee or rather chocolaty-coffee. And you would notice that is light brown, very thick creamy consistency of the body butter. The consistency is not at all runny. It's rich, it's soft, it's butter like and it literally melts on the skin.
• The variant details are mentioned onto the bottom of the tub  & other relevant details are provided including the product description, directions to use, price details, ingredients etc.
• Packaging is very sturdy and is travel friendly.

Texture & Fragrance:

• Cocoa Body Butter is very thick and creamy and It absorbs right into the skin just like how butter melts down.
• It's color is light brown due to the ingredients present.
• It spreads evenly and gets absorbed in no time.
• It leaves a sheen on the skin , as it claims to be "Glow Moisturizing Cream"
• As the name suggests , the fragrance is exactly as Cocoa .. :) and the fragrance is long lasting as well.

Variants Available:
There are 2 variants available in this. They are :
1. Cocoa Glow.
2. Deep Restore.

 How I like to use this :

I have been using this for almost 2 weeks now on daily basis, morning and night and it feels that it will last me for one and a half month which is so so affordable for the price that I paid for it.
Using it is extremely simple, just open the lid and take some body butter with a spatula or dig in your fingers if you are too lazy to use a spatula .. and apply on your skin (usually hands and legs).I would not recommend using this on your face as it may give you breakouts.

Initially I felt that since it was a body cream which is thick and creamy it will be very greasy and shiny , but on the contrary it feels very much non-greasy (just a little greasy) and glowy on the skin. It gives a very healthy sheen on my skin and it definitely gets absorbed very quickly. 

The cocoa fragrance lingers for a decent amount of time and it's very very sweet. 

Key Ingredients :

How much does it Cost? !! :

Current price is Rs 230/- for 250 ml..  Buy here .. 

What Did I like about this product ?:

• I am in love with the texture and quality and end result of this product.
• The body butter is very soft, thick, creamy .. just like butter. It simply melts down on the skin on application making my skin so soft and smooth.
• The fragrance is very sweet & long lasting too.
• It has goodness of Shea butter with cocoa seed butter in it.
• Packaging is sturdy and travel friendly.                                         
• Good for everyday use , especially during winters.
• Idealistic for dry to normal skin
• More suitable for winter season.

What did I dislike about this product:

• Sometimes tumbler / tub packaging is unhygienic as we need to dig in our fingers to dispense the product , however this is a body butter so I cannot expect them to provide it in a tube or something ..so I guess I just have to live with it ...:) 
• For those having sensitive noses , you may be little bothered by the fragrance.
• It's idealistic for dry to normal skin ..so it's a little bit greasy and attracts dust.

Recommended to use ?? 

Yes , I certainly recommend it to use , if you are for a lookout for inexpensive deep body moisturizer.

Final Take & Rating !! : 

Rating would be : 4/5

Dove - Pomegranate Go Fresh Revive Shower Gel - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecod

Hi Friends !! 

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

Today I am going to review Pomegranate Go Fresh Revive Shower Gel by Dove. To know more about my experience with the shower gel .. keep on reading .. 

Which Brand is it ?? : 
Dove is a personal care brand owned by Unilever originating in the United Kingdom. The products are sold in more than 80 countries and are offered for both women, men and babies. Products include: antiperspirants/deodorants, body washes, beauty bars, lotions/moisturizers, hair care, and facial care products. Dove is primarily made from synthetic surfactants, vegetable oils (such as palm kernel) and salts of animal fats (tallow).

The Product Claims : 

Showers are the most refreshing part of our day. To make them even more refreshing, why not add a dash of pomegranate and lemon verbena scent to your body wash. That’s where Dove Go Fresh Revive Body Wash comes in. It’s enlivened with an invigorating pomegranate and lemon verbena scent to awaken and refresh your senses. 

As well as giving a revitalizing boost to your morning, Dove Go Fresh Revive Body Wash uses 100% gentle cleansers to maintain your skin’s natural moisture and NutriumMoisture technology to deposit skin natural nutrients. 

So, if you’re wondering how to get smooth skin, with this dermatologist recommended Dove body wash you can get softer, smoother skin after just one shower. Its revitalizing fragrance and nourishing ingredients will boost your mornings with an extra energy punch. It’s like starting your day with a power smoothie – except in the shower.

• 100% gentle cleansers
• Sulfate free
• Dermatologist Recommended
• Revitalizing scent of pomegranate and lemon verbena
• Light hydration and refreshing formula that effectively nourishes skin
• NutriumMoistur technology delivers skin natural nutrients
• Nourishes deep into the surface layers of the skin
• Helps maintain your skin’s moisture barrier as you cleanse
• Mild, gentle formula is kind to your skin

How does it Look and smell like ?:

• It comes with a white, plastic bottle packaging with an white flip cap. The shower gel is pinkish in color. 
• 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 pomegranate.
• Packaging is very sturdy and is travel friendly.

Variants Available:
There are several other shower gels available in Dove 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 but not that long lasting. Apart from all of this it also is on the inexpensive side, so that's a bonus !

This one has an sweet fragrance that stays throughout the shower session. It produces a good amount of lather which is a desired feature. I have to admit that it does take a little time to rinse off completely. It’s a great body wash for all seasons but since winter is about to approach, a body lotion will be needed to add moisture. The only con is that the fragrance is not that long lasting.

Key Ingredients :

Water (Aqua), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Lauroyl Glycinate, Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, Acrylates Copolymer, Lauric Acid, Glycerin, Fragrance (Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Stearic Acid, BHT, Sodium Isethionate, PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate, PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide, Tetrasodium EDTA, Etidronic Acid, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Citric Acid, Red 33 (CI 17200)

How much does it Cost? !! :

You can get this using the following links:-
1. Purplle -  190 ml for Rs 99/-

What Did I like about this product ?:

• Nice texture and creamy gel like formula.
• Packaging is cute, sturdy and travel friendly.
• It leaves my skin soft and does not rip off the moisture.
• Fragrance is fruity, pleasant.
• Several other variants are available almost for all skin types.
• Good for everyday use for all skin types as it is non-drying.
• Inexpensive.

What did I dislike about this product:

• Packaging is opaque, so judging how much product you are left with is a task.
• The fragrance is not long lasting.

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.

Final Take & Rating !! : 

Rating would be : 3.8/5

The Body Shop Cocoa Body Butter - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

Hi Friends !! 

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

Today's blog is yet another addition to the #WinterSeriesProducts.. 

As "Winter is Coming" .. I am literally craving over products that help to hydrate my skin.I have combination skin which is normal to oily .. But during winters my skin leans towards dry side and I need to apply little heavier moisturizer like body butters or so .

Today I am going to review one of the Body Butters from one of my favorite brands "The BodyShop" (TBS in short).

I am a huge fan of TBS products and recently I got myself Cocoa body butter and I felt this is the right time for me to use and review it .. 

To know more about my experience with the Cocoa body butter .. keep on reading .. 

Which Brand is it ?? : 

The Body Shop is an iconic British retail brand with an extensive and growing global presence.They make naturally inspired products dedicated to enriching people as well as the planet, working fairly with farmers and suppliers and helping communities thrive through its Community Trade program. The Body Shop has never tested any of its ingredients or products on animals and never will. Their product quality is world famous and very pure and organic.

The product claims : This super-rich and creamy Body Butter is a feast for the skin. It melts straight in to leave skin feeling soft and smooth. It contains Community Trade cocoa butter and has a sweet cocoa scent.

• 24-hour hydration
• Great for dry skin
• Sweet Cocoa scent

How does it Look and smell like ?:
Packaging:

• Packaging is simple .. It comes in a "cocoa color" (light brown) colored plastic tub /Tumbler with a screw cap.
• The moment you open the lid, you will get a gust of cocoa fragrance which seems as pure as coffee or rather chocolaty-coffee . And you would notice a very thick creamy consistency of the body butter. The consistency is not at all runny. It's rich , it's soft , it's butter like and it literally melts on the skin.
• The variant details are mentioned onto the tub in silver and other relevant details are provided including the product description, directions to use, price details, ingredients etc.
• Packaging is very sturdy and is travel friendly.

Texture & Fragrance:

• Cocoa Body Butter is very thick and creamy and It absorbs right into the skin just like how butter melts down.
• It's color is light brown due to the natural ingredients present.
• It spreads evenly and gets absorbed in no time.
• It is little greasy and heavy as it is highly hydrating and it is majorly for dry skin.
• The product claims 24 hour hydration, I usually apply it at night before I go to sleep so as the body butter works on my skin overnight and I wake up with soft and smooth skin .. so I can say that the hydration definitely ranges for more than 12 hours.
• As the name suggests , the fragrance is exactly as Cocoa .. :) and the fragrance is long lasting as well.

Variants Available:

There are several body butters available for almost all the possible skin types.You can check out their body butter range on their official site : The Body Shop

 How I like to use this :

I keep the product on my bedside table as I prefer using it most during bedtime. Using it is extremely simple, just open the lid and take some body butter with a spatula or dig in your fingers if you are too lazy to use a spatula .. and apply on your skin (usually hands and legs).I would not recommend using this on your face as it may give you breakouts.

I usually apply this just before I go to sleep at night, as I know that body butters are more towards creamier, thick and heavy texture making them greasy and attract more dust on my skin, so it's best to use the body butter at night and let the body butter work on my skin while I sleep peacefully. 

I wake up with amazingly soft and smooth skin in the morning. The cocoa fragrance lingers for a very long time and it's very very refreshing. During daytime I usually apply this on my legs right after the bath as my skin tends to dry and become stretchy after I take a bath. So, this is how I use my body butter to get rid of all that stretchy skin during winters.

Key Ingredients :

Aqua (Solvent/Diluent), Glycine Soja Oil (Emollient/Skin Conditioner), Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter (Emollient), Butyrospermum Parkii (Skin-Conditioning Agent/Emollient), Glycerin (Humectant), Glyceryl Stearate (Emulsifier), PEG-100 Stearate (Surfactant), Cyclopentasiloxane (Skin-Conditioning Agent/Emollient), Cetearyl Alcohol (Emulsifier), Lanolin Alcohol (Stabiliser/Emollient), Cyclohexasiloxane (Conditioning Agent), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Parfum (Fragrance), Methylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative), Xanthan Gum (Viscosity Modifier), Benzyl Alcohol (Preservative), Disodium EDTA (Chelating Agent), Sodium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster), Citric Acid (pH Adjuster), Caramel (Colour), CI 19140 (Colour).

How much does it Cost? !! :

Current price is Rs 1095/- for 200 ml..  Buy here .. 

What Did I like about this product ?:

• I am in love with the texture and quality and end result of this product.
• The body butter is very soft , thick , creamy .. just like butter . It simply melts down on the skin on application making my skin so soft and smooth.
• The fragrance is very natural , refreshing & long lasting too.
• It claims 24 hour hydration and it actually does that ..Applied once in a day is sufficient for the whole day if you have normal skin .People with dry skin may need reapplication in like a gap of say 9 hours or so.
• It has goodness of shea butter with cocoa seed butter in it.It's ingredients are natural and organic.
• Each tumbler of TBS body butter almost lasts me for more than 6 months in other seasons except for winters.During winters it lasts me for 2 months, so you get enough quantity with amazing quality for the price you pay.
• Packaging is sturdy and travel friendly.                                         
• Several other Body Butter variants are available almost for all skin types.
• Good for everyday use , especially during winters.
• Idealistic for dry to normal skin
• More suitable for winter season.

What did I dislike about this product:

• Sometimes tumbler / tub packaging is unhygienic as we need to dig in our fingers to dispense the product , however this is a body butter so I cannot expect them to provide it in a tube or something ..so I guess I just have to live with it ...:) 
• For those having sensitive noses , you may be little bothered by the fragrance.
• It's little bit on the pricier side.But after using their products and seeing the difference in my skin I have come to a conclusion that this is just another investment for a better skin care routine.
• It's idealistic for dry to normal skin ..so it's a little bit greasy and attracts dust.

Recommended to use ?? 

Yes , I certainly recommend it to use , in fact I already bought like 3 other variants as I am so impressed with the quality of the product.Once you get used to using this product it becomes very difficult to switch to any other body butter so TBS products are kind of addictive. 

Final Take & Rating !! : 

Rating would be : 5/5

If you have already used this product, then please share your experience in the comment section below.

I would love to know your take on the product as well as the blog.!!
