Sheer Care Little Hearts Soap Review

Hello 

I find anything in heart shape so cute and adorable, be it a piece of jewelry, print on an outfit, a candy or even a soap bar ;) How exciting it is to imagine yourself holding a beautiful bathing bar with little hearts imprinted on it. This is something I felt when I received a lovely handmade soap from a natural skin care brand Sheer Care.

Brand Promise:

We use natural colorants, skin safe fragrances, essential oils, pure carrier oils, clays, herbs, fruits, flowers etc in correct proportion to formulate our products to provide you a safe and healthy daily care, and a toxin-free routine. We do not buy readymade bases of skincare products, add on something, and claim 'handmade'. We prepare each product from scratch, in small batches, so that we use least amount of natural preservatives to reach you safely and remains intact till consumption, ensuring highest quality product for you. We prepare these products at home, as well as cut ,wrap and label at home. You may not find the packaging very attractive like other sellers, but we assure you of a genuine quality product for the price you pay!

Product Info: 
These little hearts on soap and mild fragrance,with the goodness of nourishing oils like olive,rice bran,sunflower,etc is a perfect sweet gift for anyone on any occasion.
Ingredients: 
Castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, beeswax, water, red clay, pink clay, activated carbon.

Price: 150/-
Weight: 75 gm
Packaging :
Little Hearts soap comes wrapped in a cling sheet. There are labels on either sides of packaging stating the soap name and its detailed ingredients with price etc.

Appearance:
The soap bar is designed with cute little hearts embossed with so much of delicacy. The tricolor soap bar in the first appearance reminds you of a tasty sandwich ;) Why?? because the soap bar is a triple layered soap with offwhite base, green center and the top layer with heart designed on it.
Texture:
The soap bar is so creamy that the moment I unwrapped and took it out,  I had a feeling of holding a soap dipped in oil. (But no worries, it actually has no excessive oily feel on usage.)

My Experience:
The Little Hearts soap is a clay based soap with a generous mix of multiple essential oils. The soap has no artificial fragrance, but a natural smell of a combination of its ingredients. It didn't feel that floral feminine one, but truly an invigorating aroma. Also the smell doesn't lasts as soon as you rinse the skin up.
The clay is believed to absorb oil from skin surface without excessively drying it. The pink clay gently draws out the impurities from skin and soften the skin. This soap is especially suited to my dry skin type but also works well as a face and body soap for most skin types.
Its silky lathers doesn't feel extremely soapy on skin that required lot of rubbing to rinse it out. Just few splashes of water with soft touch to your skin in enough to cleanse the skin. The rich blend of oils with red clay genuinely kept my skin exfoliated and even worked on lightening tanned areas of my neck. So I am expecting a better skin toned after some more days of using this soap.
Most amazingly, unlike most facewashes/facial soap require me to apply moisturizer/lotion post shower, I dont use any after using this soap and still my skin feels happy and purified.

Pros:
Beautifully crafted.
Blend of essential oils.
Uses clays as natural detoxifiers.
Lightens tanning.
No drying formula.
Suits most skin types.
Smells fine.
Easy to rinse.

Cons:
I wish if the packaging could be improved a bit to keep the soap in a cardboard box to avoid disfiguring such pretty soaps made with loads of effort.

To sum it up, I would say the Little Hearts soap bar by Sheer Care is one of the best handmade, organic, all natural cold process soap bar on this planet that provides most supplements to your skin. It is slightly expensive, but I don't mind paying few bucks extra for its excellent ingredients

D Tan Scrub from Aroma Essentials

Hi

I am quite fond of natural home remedies. They have great potential as compared to readymade products and give long lasting benefits. But the problem again is the time to make the right composition of each remedy, because the optimum result can be achieved only when the ingredients are mixed in right proportion.

I was suffering from sun tan on my face and arms, so wanted to get rid of this tough tan and to get glowing and bright skin back using some home remedy. But the ready to use D-Tan scrub from Aroma Essentials came to me at right time and I was spared of prepare one for me t home. So lets read further how it fared for me..

Packaging: 
The D-tan scrub is packaged in a simple plastic tub container that is transparent and has a screw lid. The label on the packaging gives information on its salient features. I wish there should be detail description of ingredients, price, qty etc printed on label.
Ingredients:
Orange peel powder, Oats, Rose powder, Lemon peel powder, Papaya, Lentils

Price: Rs 375 for 150 gm
Shelf Life: 6 months.

My Experience:
The D-Tan scrub is a dark brown colored powder. The powder seems quite coarsely ground with some rose petals visible in it.  The scrub has lovely aroma that you may smell as soon as you open the container. In the first glimpse of the product, I had a feeling that the granules seen in the scrub will be too harsh to the skin because it is not a fine-milled powder. But since I had been trusting Aroma Essentials for its careful preparation of products, I could not resist myself using it.
This D-Tan scrub is to be mixed with water to make a moderately thick paste out of it. I applied a thin layer of the paste on my face, neck & arms and left it undisturbed for almost 10 minutes until it got dried. I kept smelling like a fragrant flower till it was on my face and even afterwards.
After 10 mins or so, I washed the scrub with cold water gently scrubbing it off like an ubtan. To my sheer surprise, I found the scrub so soft on skin without causing any rashes or irritation. The D-tan scrub gave my skin instant brightening and lightened the skin tone while exfoliating it. I became its fan in very first application and have been using it regularly on severely tanned areas to cure them. The scrub has actually smoothened my skin to great extent due to its natural ingredients. Though the scrub doesn't dry out the skin, but I applied the moisturizer afterwards.

Where To buy: Aroma Essentials or call 9886497272 to order.

Pros:
Lovely fragrance.
Finest natural ingredients.
Chemical Free.
Gentle granules.
Dermatologically tested.
Exfoliates gently.
Feels smooth on skin.
Effective on tanned skin.
Suitable to all skin types.

Cons:
I wish the ingredient details should be labelled on packaging.

Final Word: 
D Tan Scrub from Aroma Essentials is extremely decent formulation to battle sun tanning. It can be safely used even on sensitive skin and won't aggravate any skin issues. The feel of homemade scrub and the goodness of nature-based ingredients make Aroma Essential D Tan Scrub one of the finest choice.

Eeshha Herbal Smudge Free Kajal Review

'Kajrare Naina' is one of the most talked about theme in bollywood songs. Not only celebrities, but every female love darkening her eyelids to make them look more expressive. Kajal is one of the most ancient cosmetic being used by females. Infact in good old days, every mom used to apply homemade surma in her new-born baby's eyes out of the belief that it will make baby's eyes bigger and beautiful.

Now a days, we have plently of brands talking about goodness of their Kajal, but I have experienced that even some very reputed brands may cause itchiness or allergies to eyes. May be they contain harmful lead content.

Today I am reviewing Eeshha Herbal's Smudge Free Kajal which is a special combination of precious licorice, camphor and almond oil for eye makeup :) A special combination of precious herbs and pure Almond Oil for eye make-up. Helps to pamper the skin around the eyes and lends sparkle to the eyes. It won't smudge, smear or fade after application.



Ingredients:
  • Castor Oil, Bees Wax, Carbon Black, Vitamin E, Oil Extract of Triphala ,Licorice, Almond Oil, Camphor.
PriceRs 115 for 3.5 gm kajal stick.
Shelf Life: 36 months from packaging.


My Experience:
Eeshha Herbal Kajal is a stick shaped kajal in jet black color housed in bullet packaging having a transparent cap which lets you see the kajal stick from outside. There is nothing fancy about the packaging, but a decent look. The cap needs extra care to be taken due to its fragile material if you want to keeping this kajal stick in your handbag (as we girls mostly do).

The kajal gave my eyes intense black outline in single stroke itself. But those who love deeper and thicker waterline to be prominently highlighted can swipe the kajal twice or more. The kajal stick glides quite easily and feels smooth. It didn't make my watery eyes feel stingy or irritated even while prolonged application.

I liked the camphor smell in the kajal stick that reminded me of homemade kajal which I appreciate. The tip of the kajal stick comes nicely sharpened to draw precise thin line on waterline initially. But gradually it becomes thicker after multiple applications. I wish there was a compatible sharpener accompanying the kajal stick within the packaging itself ;)


Now, talking about its staying power... I truly didn't expect this kajal to stay longer because most kohls formulated with natural ingredients fade off quite soon. But to my surprise, it stayed more than 5-6 hours without being smudged on my lower waterline. I am happy with the results. However, I can not go by its claim to be "Smudge Free", as it tend to smudge a bit if you apply it in thick lines.

Pros:
*Pocket friendly price.
*Soothing ingredients.
*Causes no irritation to eyes.
*Smooth Application
*Gives deep black color
*Creamy texture
*No chemical formulation.
*Sufficient staying power.

Cons:
* Kajal Stick itself has no description printed on it, rather the outer cardboard packing is where you need to glance to know about its ingredients, qty, price etc.
* The packaging could have been improved to make the lid tighter or screw cap, so as to make it travel friendly.
* I wish a sharpener could be added to the packaging (may be by adding few more bucks to its price) to ease out the job of drawing a thin line out of kajal.
* Not completely smudge free.
Overall Opinion:
Eeshha Herbal Smudge Free Kajal is a budget-friendly worthy product if you are looking for a chemical-free daily-wear eye makeup. It can perform fair enough to give you crisp precise lines or thick intense lines to brighten your facial looks. For such a inexpensive price, I won't mind buying it again.

Hope my review interests you !!
