Skinn by Titan Celeste EDP - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | beautyandthecode

Hey Everyone!  

Welcome back .. 

Here I am with another fragrance review. Myself being a huge fan of floral and fruity fragrances, on a recent visit to a mall this fragrance pulled me towards itself and I thought of buying and sharing my experience with it. Today I am going to review the Skinn by Titan Celeste EDP.

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

 Product Description : 

What does the Product Claim:

Celeste evokes the liveliness of a spring garden, with white floral notes and a touch of zing from peaches and pears. The dry sandalwood flirts with unexpected hints of patchouli. Celeste was designed as a reflection of a playful mood, coupled with a flair for charming mischief. A very modern, joyful and feminine fragrance from the floral family. From the very first notes, this fragrance reveals a playful floral nectar heart of exotic white flowers: exotic and sensual jasmine sambac flower, suave and irresistible orange flower, tuberose and delicate refreshing waterlily. This heart is surrounded by a very luminous and sparkling fruity top notes with touches of mandarin and grapefruit, juicy green pear, invigorating ginger and velvety mouthwatering white peach. This is followed by a very creamy dry down composed of fruity apricot nectar, reinforcing sensuality, sensual sandalwood, patchouli, and reinforced by precious white musks. It is skin-friendly since it is dermatologically tested.

Key Ingredients :

Top Notes
Grapefruit, Green Pear, Ginger And Blood Orange

Middle Notes
Jasmine Sambac, Orange Flower, Floral Nectar And Waterlily

Base Notes
Apricot Nectar, Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli And White Musk

Packaging :

• It comes in a see through glass bottle with a glass like cap and simple spray nozzle to dispense the product.
• The bottle has a beautiful purple color and is very well designed. It looks very pretty from the outside.
• No product details on the side of the bottle.
• The packaging is in a glass bottle hence some may not consider it too travel friendly.

My Experience with this ..! 

Another Floral and Fruity addition to my fragrance stash :) 

I am a sucker for floral and fruity sugary fragrances, and Celeste being a floral and fruity scent I had to give it a shot :) 

The perfume starts off with fruity notes which will be a delight for your senses. These mellow down slowly and the amazing floral notes come upfront which is a delight for any woman. The fragrance overall is pretty strong and its quite long lasting as well. People with sensitive noses may want to use it in very small quantities. I generally spritz well like 5-6 spritzes at a time on my pulse points and let the perfume do its magic on me. It is long lasting and easily stays for 6 hours before needing to spray again.

The perfume is very sophisticated, perfectly suited for offices and parties as well..

Coming to the packaging, the glass bottle and loosely fitted cap makes it inappropriate for travelling but if you are someone who is careful while carrying your fragrances you wouldn't complain about that.The fragrance lasts quite long .. mostly somewhere between 5 to 6 hours, not more than that, after that you simply have to spritz the goodness again to get the fragrance to last longer. The blend of floral notes and fruity notes makes it appropriate for day time use and since its not that pungent you can use it at night time as well. The fragrance is in between being mild and strong .. it's not that overpowering but not so light either.

How much does it Cost? !! :

Skinn by Titan Celeste EDP Buy from Flipkart

100 ML of it costs Rs 2195/-

Skinn by Titan Celeste EDP Buy from Amazon

100 ML of it costs Rs 2195/-

What Did I like about this product ?:

• Fragrance is pleasant, feminine and good for day time wear.
• Its quite strong so people with sensitive noses may want to use in less quantity.
• Lasts for good 5-6 hours.
• Quite unique fragrance.

What did I dislike about this product:.

• Expensive
• Packaging with glass bottle and flimsy cap makes it difficult to travel with.
• The spray mechanism stopped working for sometime. May be it was just one bad bottle that I ended up with but it did bother me for some time that its not spraying properly.

Rating !! : 

Rating would be :4.5/5

My Experience with this ..! 

Another Sweet and Fruity addition to my fragrance stash :) 

I am a sucker for sweet and fruity sugary fragrances, and Japanese Cherry Blossom Strawberry Kiss being a sweet and fruity scent I had to give it a shot :) 

The fragrance I get from it is mostly sweet and fruity; sometimes like a Watermelon Candy and sometimes like you are in a farm of Strawberries. It does not give a pungent strong smell so it can be used at day and night time. Although its not too strong but it lasts for a long time. The fragrance becomes a little light slowly but it stays for a long time.

Coming to the packaging, the glass bottle and loosely fitted black cap makes it inappropriate for travelling but if you are someone who is careful while carrying your fragrances you wouldn't complain about that.The fragrance lasts decent .. mostly somewhere between 3 to 4 hours, not more than that, after that you simply have to spritz the goodness again to get the fragrance to last longer. The blend of sugary notes and fruity notes makes it appropriate for day time use and since its not that pungent you can use it at night time as well. The fragrance is in between being mild and strong .. it's not that overpowering but not so light either.

How much does it Cost? !! :

50 ML of it costs Rs 1995/-

What Did I like about this product ?:

• Fragrance is pleasant, feminine and good for day time wear.
• Since it is not overpowering it can be used by folks with sensitive noses.
• Lasts for good 3-4 hours.
• Quite unique fragrance.

What did I dislike about this product:.

• Expensive
• Would have preferred had it been more long lasting
• Packaging with glass bottle and flimsy cap makes it difficult to travel with.

Rating !! : 

Rating would be :4/5

Fogg Beautiful Secret EDP - Product Review | Shriya Sagdeo | Beautyandthecode

Hey Everyone!  

Welcome back .. 

I am pretty sure by now you will know that this is going to be a fragrance review; me being a huge fan of trying new fragrances, this time around during a recent visit to the grocery store, I got my hands on one of the Body Sprays from Fogg and I thought that I should definitely share my review for them, so today I am going to review the Fogg Beautiful Secret EDP.

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

 Product Description : 

What does the Product Claim:

• Soothing experience throughout the day
• Ensures you 800 sprays
• Consists of refreshing
• Long lasting fragrance

Fogg perfume is an ideal daily wear perfume that has pleasant fragrance. With just a single whiff this perfume will envelop you for whole day. It leaves you with fresh, cool feeling. Once you wear this perfume no need to worry about sweat odor.

Key Ingredients :

• Ethyl Alcohol
• Perfume
• DEP
• Benzophenone-3
• Pentaerethrityl Terta-Di-T-Butyl
• Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
• Alcohol(95% V/V)

Packaging :

• It comes in a beautiful looking see through Red and Black colored glass bottle with a plastic cap and simple spray nozzle to dispense the product.

• The list of ingredients etc. is only mentioned on the packaging and not on the bottle so in case you want to monitor what you are using, you will have to keep the packaging with you :P

• The packaging overall is fuss free, but since it is glass bottle its a little heavy and not very travel friendly.

My Experience with this ..! 

Another fruity fragrance addition to my fragrance stash :) 

The Beautiful Secret variant from Fogg is a Hit or Miss for many, as the fragrance is not that unique and I have seen people preferring the other variants more. The fragrance is typical having hints of unique fruity notes in it and overall impact boils down to the "Fruity" category. I am a huge fan of fruity fragrances and am always in hunt for this category. Although this is not very strong, but applying a tad more than usual gives me an amazing sense of being in a fruity environment. I am sure it will not last that long for me as I am applying in huge quantities. But people with sensitive noses can use it and use it for a good amount of time. Again as it is not very strong so people with sensitive noses can definitely go for it. :)

Coming to the packaging, the glass bottle has a nicely fitted cap but the overall weight makes it a little inappropriate for travelling.The fragrance lasts just about decent, mostly somewhere between 3 to 4 hours, not more than that, after that you simply have to spritz the goodness again to get the fragrance to last longer. The fragrance is in between being mild and strong .. it's not that overpowering but not so light either.

How much does it Cost? !! :

Fogg Beautiful Secret EDP

• Amazon - 100 ML of it costs Rs 499/- BUY HERE
• Flipkart - 100 ML of it costs Rs 500/- BUY HERE

What Did I like about this product ?:

• Fragrance is pleasant, feminine and good for day time wear.
• Since it is not overpowering it can be used by folks with sensitive noses.
• Lasts for good 3-4 hours.
• Very affordable fragrance.

What did I dislike about this product:.

• Would have preferred had it been more long lasting
• Would have preferred had it been more stronger

Rating !! : 

Rating would be :3.5/5

Vaseline Cocoa Glow Moisturizing Cream Product Review | Beautyandthecode | Shriya Sagdeo

Hi Friends !! 

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

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

As "Winter is Here" .. 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 creams or butters or so.

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 .. 

Which Brand is it ?? : 

Vaseline is an American brand of petroleum jelly-based products owned by British-Dutch company Uniliver. Products include plain petroleum jelly and a selection of skin creams, soaps, lotions, cleansers and deodorants. In many languages, the work 'Vaseline' i used as generic for petroleum jelly. While Vaseline can be used as a lubricant, it can also be used as a moisture insulator for local skin conditions characterized by tissue dehydration. Vaseline has been reported to be highly-refined. triple-purified and regarded as non- carcinogenic.

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:

• It 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.

 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 :

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.
• It 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.
• Each tumbler of such creams 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.                                        
• 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. 
• 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 , in fact I already bought like a couple of other variants as I am so impressed with the quality of the product.

Final Take & Rating !! : 

Rating would be : 5/5
