Today we will be checking a review of Quint Essentia Organic Rose and Vanilla Face Scrub which claims to be good for skin and is made up of all organic ingredients. Let's head straight to the review.
I have received the product in a cut out packaging which isn't resealable. So we need to store the product in another empty jar or in an air tight container. However this is a sample size product, so I ain't complaining. Although I didn't find any information regarding this scrub on their website as well as the full size packaging details.
Now coming to the product, the scrub is grainy in nature which isn't harsh at all when rubbed vigorously also. The scrub has a sweet vanilla fragrance coupled with a hint of rose. The fragrance is beyond description and you should feel or experience it to believe how amazing it is.
Now coming to the effects of the scrub, the scrub, it effectively removes the dead skin cells and makes the skin smooth each usage. After scrubbing we get a clean and fresh feeling to the skin. I tried applying it like a face pack also, after recently being obsessed with multi tasking products (read powder cleansers). But application of a scrub as face pack is a but difficult as the grains keep on falling, still I did and I was pretty impressed with the results.
Using it as a face pack for 2-3 minutes and then scrubbing revealed a very soft and smooth skin. Also the skin gets a very nuce glow which lasts some 1 or one and half hour. Overall I was pretty impressed with the Quinta Essentia Organic Rose and Vanilla Face Scrub as a good face scrub for all skin types. Moreover the ingredients are natural and organic so we don't have to worry about any nasty chemicals being used up on our face.
Quinta Essentia Organic Rose and Vanilla Face Scrub would be aptly called food for skin after taking a look at the ingredients. Moreover the ingredients are organic in nature and the product performs a dual job of cleansing as well as scrubbing. I will recommend the product if you are into organic skincare as very few brands offer totally organic skincare.
Today's review is about Svayam Natural Glow Pack. I have read some really nice reviews by my fellow bloggers about this brand. So when the brand got in touch with me for a review I was excited to try out the range. The product is a very versatile one since it's in a dry form, leaving room for usage as per our convenience and preference.
The product is packed in a glass jar with a metal lid. The packaging is convenient to use and not heavy also. We can easily scoop out using a wooden spoon because of the wide jar. I will be reusing the jar once the product is emptied.
Coming back to the review, the product has all the information printed on the jar. The product has a mesmerizing rose and sandalwood fragrance. The moment you feel you are sniffing rose fragrance Sandalwood takes over your sense and vice versa. The experience of this fragrance is truly amazing!
The consistency of the face pack is a bit grainy. The face pack is versatile as we can add milk, rose water or curd according to our preference as well as skin type. I like exactly this fact about the ready-to-make face packs unlike the ready-to-use ones. After applying a thin layer all over the face, as the face packs dries the skin gets a stretching feel. Nothing to worry, it's all about moong dal in the face pack. Once we splash water and start removing the face pack (which is quite task as the pack becomes little hard) all we can feel is soft and smooth skin. After removing the face pack the skin gets an instant glow on the face. Also the face pack helps in gentle exfoliation due to grainy consistency. Overall I liked this face pack for it's cleansing as well as glowy after effects.
Price, Shelf life and Availability - 415 INR for 100 gms with a shelf life of 2 months. Available on Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal, Shopclues. Although I feel if we don't let water enter the jar, the product would definitely last longer than 6 months.
I would definitely recommend the Svayam Natural Glow Pack as a face cleanser, scrub as well as a face pack. Looking at the ingredients list I would say beauty is simplicity caption would be appropriate for this product. It cleanses and makes the skin glowing. It is definitely a good option to treat your skin to some real ingredients which are beneficial to the skin. I would love to repurchase once this is over 😊.
If you all know me or follow my blog, you may be knowing about my switch to powder cleansers. After making the switch very few foaming cleansers (of course the SLS and SLES free ones am talking about) impress me. Recently I had reviewed the Auravedic Kumkumadi Pulpy Face Wash which is my go to face wash when am lazy to use powder cleansers. Another one favourite we will be talking about it today. I had received the Gulnare Pumpskin Face Wash in one of my VanityCask box. Read onto know more.
Made with pumpkin, honey & rosehip oil, this natural, all-purpose daily cleanser contains Vitamins & exfoliating enzymes from Honey & Pumpkin that help revitalise your skin. It is gentle enough for ultra sensitive skin and works double duty by washing away surface impurities and protecting your skin’s moisture balance.
The face wash is packed in plastic bottle with a metal lid. Packaging is convenient to use as well as sturdy. I have dropped it quite a few times and it has been strong enough not to break. Also I have carried it with me during my current travels, and it's totally travel friendly.
Coming to the face wash fragrance, it has an aroma of pumpkin which is kind of sweet, edible and fruity sort. Sometime I feel like eating it, but then I think about my skin and brush off my thoughts. Also the consistency of the face wash is thick and it takes time to dispense from the bottle. I like this consistency so that in a hurry we don't spill the product. The texture face wash is a bit pulpy sort, like some pumpkin puree. Nonetheless I love everything about this face wash right from its fragrance, consistency and texture.
The face wash nicely cleanses the skin while removing all dullness and dirt, sweat from the skin. The face wash doesn't dry out the skin at all, no matter how many times we wash our face. As you all know Castile Soap is used as a gentle cleanser for face which is 90% olive oil. Moreover the face wash gives an immediate glow to the skin after washing the face. The glow lasts for about one hour. It also makes the skin soft and smooth and I keep on touching the face as I couldn't resist touching my soft skin. Overall am really happy with the face wash and may buy the full size when spotted on discounts.
Price, Shelf Life and Availability - 400 INR for 60 ml and 700 for 120 ml. Shelf life not mentioned,. Available on major shopping portals.
Gulnare Pumpskin Face Wash is the face wash you need if you want glowing, smooth and soft skin without any nasty chemicals. Although I would agree that it is on a pricer side, but keeping in mind the ingredients in mind, the price is justified. I would totally recommend the face wash to all skin types.
I hardly ever buy a subscription box. Half of them have a makeup item in it, half of them have some jewellery in it. Although I like wearing jewellery sometimes, but I am not at all a makeup person. The last and first subscription box I had tried was Blend It Raw. I like subscription boxes who send skincare with some hair care products. Today we are going to talk about one such subscription box which has come a long way with each passing month, sending products from luxury skincare brands.
Today am unboxing the VanityCask Vegan Edition September Box. I am not much into veganism, although I do believe that plant derived skincare is way better for skincare. Also I like the signature black box of VanityCask which is luxurious as well as reusable. So let's directly jump into the box and see what it as to offer.
In the Vegan Edition we have received two facewashes of 10ml size. These are handy during travelling when we don't want to carry our usual bug size face washes. I have used this face wash quite a times and found it to be ok sort. Since I am not much into foaming ones, this sometimes tends to dry up my skin.
Votre is a luxurious brand which has almost many of it's samples in VanityCask box. Votre is a vegan, certified and luxurious skincare brand. I am executed try out each Votre product received in VanityCask till date, and believe me this one is amazing of all. I used it quite a many times and it gets absorbed like a charm in the skin. It is especially suited for the coming winters. I will post a full review on this soon.
TNC is also a luxurious brand and it's products are out of my budget. It's a good thing that VanityCask has added this full size product of the Vegan Edition, as well know TNC is a proud Vegan brand.
I was delighted to see another Votre product in this Box, but oh how I miss Gulnare this month. This scrub is also a good one, rich and creamy, perfect for coming winters.
This is a total new brand to me, but going by the ingredients list of the oil it sounds good. Last month also there were two hair care products from a new brand. To be honest I rarely experiment with my hair. So I don't know if I will use this or will end up giving it to my haircare freak friends or not.
Overall speaking and comparing the box with the previous ones, I am gald that at the box price point we receive Votre, Gulnare, TNC products which aren't budget friendly brands and are a class apart on their own. But I would definitely not like to use some new brands on my hair, although this is a personal choice. This month box is okay sort with me. It's a good choice to try out luxurious skincare products which aren't budget friendly. And how I miss Gulnare in this month ☹️.
The product is packed in a double lid plastic tub like most of their tub packaging is. I own a handful of Auravedic products and I find this packaging travel friendly as well as no leaking. Coming to the consistency of the product it in in a balm consistency and it foams as soon as you add it with water and run between your palms. The colour of the product is nice light orange and it has an earthy, oily fragrance. Nonetheless I like the fragrance very much. Sometimes I feel like eating the face wash. But I try not to eat it 😁😂😁😂.
Now they say that we need to massage it on face by dampening the face. I was doing it whole wrong by making a foam first and then washing the face. Either eays you do it the face wash instantly lightens up your skin and makes it clean and glowing. I majorly like this face wash as the first ingredient in the list is Kumkumadi oil, as if it's more of washing your face with oil and I absolutely love this idea. The face wash doesn't remove makeup and all but, it's good as a morning cleanser as well as night time cleanser if you double cleanse at night.
The face wash didn't dry up my skin even after using almost 4 times a day ( yes I do that sometime). The face wash makes the skin plump for a while and makes it oh so glowing 😊. The face wash didn't cause me acne breakouts or didn't even sting my sensitive nose area like other foaming face washes. I absolutely adore this face was, but saldy this one has been discontinuing by Auravedic and I would like to take this opportunity to tell the brand to bring the product back in stock, or else send me two tubs 😁😊.
Price, Shelf life and Availability - 150 INR for 50 gms with a shelf life of 2 years. It's been discontinued by the brand 😭😭.
I wish this product would be back in stock as I immensely like this product. I highly recommend this product for it's ability to clean the skin without drying and having Kumkumadi oil as one of the ingredients.
After becoming a skincare blogger, I have been serious about my skincare routine. Although before this, I used to follow a CTM routine. That's it! I never used to apply face masks and et al previously when in college and office. But one thing I still regret is, not using an under eye cream during my 20s (yes I just entered my 30s 😭😭😭). Even today while applying my night cream, I need to remind myself to reach out for an under eye cream. And then laziness takes over and I sleep without applying an under eye cream. How nice it would be, if the cream you use can double up as an under eye cream as well. Today's review is about one such under eye cream which can also be used as a face cream. Read the review to know more!

The packaging is similar to the Mama Earth C3 Face Mask, although being a little small. The packaging is secure enough to be carried around, but the cream may spill if you tilt the jar while opening. I like the packaging of all Mama Earth products to be honest.
Now coming to the consistency of the cream it is a bit runny sort although not gel. The cream is beige (very light beige) coloured with milky consistency. I like the consistency as it's easy to spread and beneficial for my oily acne prone skin. The runny consistency is a bit problematic once you open a jar and try taking the cream out. Due care has to be taken not to tilt the jar as it may lead to spillage. The fragrance of the cream is light floral which isn't over powering as well as non lingering. The fragrance fades away as soon as we apply and isn't that noticeable. I have a pretty sensitive nose which when introduced to strong or lingering fragrances sneezes a lot. So this cream is a perfect fit for my taste and choice of fragrance. I find a little similarity between the fragrance of Mama Earth Nourishing Body Lotion and this cream. Nonetheless both have nice fragrances.
The cream sufficiently moisturises the under eye area as well as the face when used as a face cream. The cream gets absorbed faster than thought. It is not a light weight cream. When applied during day time, it doesn't give an oily feeling or greasy feeling. But we do feel that we have applied something. I get too conscious while using it as a day treatment for both under eye as well face. I prefer using it as an under eye as well as face treatment as a part of my night care routine.
The cream instantly gives a little glow to my skin and gives a little mattifying effect. The under eye area feels smooth and hydrated. I have noticed very small change in the fading of dark circles in the past 2 and half weeks. However while curing dark circles we also need to pay attention to our sleep hours, diet, gadgets' usage time. My dark circles are mainly due to lack of sleep and screen time (🙁☹️). So this cream is helpful in hydrating the under eye area as well as reducing dark circles over a period of time. I really like how this cream doubles up as a face cream as well. So while travelling we don't need to carry separate creams.
Price, Shelf life and Availability - 500 INR for 50ml with a shelf life of 2 years. Available here.
I would totally recommend the Mamaearth Under Eye Cream as it doubles up as a face cream as well. This is specifically helpful for lazy people like me who often forget to take care of under eye area inspite of taking enough care of face. The cream also makes travel packing lighter as it can be used as both. And being available on Amazon is definitely an In for people who frequently buy on Amazon (Like me 😀). This is a definite repurchase for me!
