review of a LUSH product called "AQUA MIRABILIS"

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT:

According to LUSH "Aqua Mirabilis" is a water soluble body buffer in shape of a bar, it can be used very much like soap itself... It exfoliates the skin leaving it soft...

According to me it looks like square beiges colored bar with tiny brown colored grains in it (ground almonds)... I did notice that it contained butter consistency which felt nice later on for my skin....

But the main part that bothered me was in the starting itself... Since the bar had ground almond I just could not rub the bar on my skin I could feel the ground almond tips just scratching my skin.. So I though ok fine let's try it with lesser hand pressure but alas even that did not help me...And it did not end their, after the almond where in water contact with in few sec's they would just become too soggy.. Due to which I don't think it actually exfoliated my skin in any way...

So for those of you all who like intense exfoliation or those with thick skin's this is just the product for you..

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Wet the body and just take the bar and use it as a regular soap...

Then simply rinse off with water..

KEY INGREDIENTS:

Coco butter

Apricot kernel oil

Sodium bicarbonate

Ground almond shells

Citric acid

Sandalwood oil

Rose absolute

Marigold petals

Perfume

Gardenia extract

PACK DETAILS:

One piece is Rs. 710/-

WHERE I GOT IT:

I bought this from the LUSH store situated inside FORUM MALL (Bengaluru)

WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN:

No I won't..

If any of you have used this let me know your views.. I hope the info I gave was helpful... If I have missed out on any info that you need please let me know and I’ll try to put that also up... I would really like your feed back, so just leave them in the comments section...

I have bought this product with my own money and in no way I'm affiliated with this company. I'm not paid to do this blog and the review is based on my honest unbiased opinion...

Last but not the least....

Myth Facts (High 5 or Debunks)

Heard and tried many beauty concoctions an finally wanna give the age old myth a try???... Well no harm in trying cos what's some one's concoction failure can be your answer to the problem you are facing.. 

In this blog I will be telling the facts of the age old myths... Its interesting, so do read on...


MYTH: BEER IS A GOOD CONDITIONER FOR HAIR
                     How many a times would you have hear this when girls start to talk about all the beauty knowledge that they know??... Now beer does contain the ingredients (protein in the malt and hop in the beer coat) that will you know help your hair shine an all, but the catch is that the alcohol content in it will probably leave you with a mop that not only feels but also look like straw.. Today as this tine an age when we have so many conditioners to choose from the market, you don't really need the reeking bar smell from your hair... Now do you??...
 

MYTH: CUCUMBER REDUCES PUFFINESS OF THE EYES
                    Not just cucumber girls but anything cold applied on eye lids will reduce puffiness.. As placing something around eye region will cause the blood vessels to contract, hence reduce swelling.. But cucumber is suggested as it stays cool longer then other organic options..


MYTH: DRY SKIN CAUSES WRINKLES
                    All of you out there who have heard and started packing on moisturiser onto your faces calm down.. It's really not that bad as you have heard it as wrinkles is caused mainly due to sun exposure / pollution / genetic change / fat depletion / oestrogen loss / etc.


MYTH: SPLIT ENDS CAN BE REPAIRED
              OK I my self have hear all sorts of humbug... But trust me on this one girls... The one and only way to treat is to get the split ends snipped off at the saloon or get your friend / sibling to help you out.. It takes lot of time as you have to go through the lock of hair.. The longer you postpone it the worst it will get..
You also need to know how you actually ended up with it..
When the protective cuticle of hair tip is destroyed it will split into 2 or more strands.. This occurs due to contact of hair with high heat (dryers, curlers, etc) /over exposure to sun / excess washing of hair / wrong type of comb / etc...
So don't forget to get a trim regularly and you will see a difference..    


MYTH: DON'T NEED SUNSCREEN ON CLOUDY DAYS
                    Never ever make this mistake... Yes cloudy days are nice and comfy an all that's it.. The clouds block the infrared rays but they block only of over 20 %.. You can never escape from sunscreen, even at home... Dermatologists state that every from house lights an while cooking you will be getting rays emitted out..

*Take towel and dab face dry (since you have taken steam your pores have opened
up and now what ever you apply on face will get absorbed a bit more then usual) *Apply De tan on face / neck (do not apply around eyes) (You can take it on the
fingers and directly apply it on your face)
*Relax till the pack completely dries ( can apply cucumber / potato slice or place
soaked tea bags on eye lids)

water with skin makes the pores close up again)

review of "NEUTROGENA AGE SHIELD SUN BLOCK with SPF30"

NEUTROGENA AGE SHIELD SUN BLOCK with SPF30ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY:
1. Advance sunscreens technology shields skin in 6 layers deep from the skin aging UVA rays.
2. Powerful blend of anti-oxidants combat free radicals that accelerate signs of aging.
3. Oil - free, non greasy feel.
4. Advanced broad spectrum UVA/UVB.
5. #1 dermatologist recommended sun care
6. Water proof, sweat proof. resists rub off..

ACCORDING TO ME: It fragrance-free, the sunscreen definitely has the UVA range covered... Includes several antioxidants in stable packaging... The initially creamy application dries to a soft matte finish without a hint of greasiness.... It's a texture that someone with normal to very oily skin will love, and is suitable for use under makeup.... Its light weight.. Comes in a tube applicator, which is hygienic (but its difficult to open the cap when hands are wet as sufficient grip is not their)..
The other only fall back is that it reacted with the skin on my face and I obtained bumps on my face which looked like a break out of pimples... Me like a dodo, I just forgot that it might be due to the sunblock and started freaking out cause it had never reached to such a break out extent...
Like in 1 out of 10 the product wont work.. Unfortunately I'm the odd ball...
But I still use for the rest of my body and its really helping in the tanning department :-) ...


USAGE DIRECTION: Apply liberally 15 - 30 Min's before sun exposure. Reapply after swimming, towel drying, or extended sun exposure.

PACK DETAILS: 4 fl oz (118 ml)

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Avobenzonr 3%
homosalate 8%
octisalate 4%
octocrylene 2.35%
oxybenzone 5%

WHERE I BOUGHT MINE / WHERE ITS AVAILABLE: I got mine from Star Bazaar mall situated in koramangala (Bengaluru)... Its available in all malls and pharmacy shops..

Tips To Get Rid Of Body Odour

Tips To Get Rid Of Body Odour
1. Most common remedy is to use an antibacterial, pleasant smelling soap, apply a deodorant and wear cotton clothes to reduce sweating.
2. Apply baking soda on the arm pits to absorb sweat and kill bacteria.
3. Apply cider vinegar, white vinegar and alcohol are other solutions you can apply on your underarms to reduce body odour.
4. What you eat is directly related to your body odour. So eat healthy and avoid processed foods and also too much red meat. Frequent consumption of garlic, curry, cumin and masala can be the cause of foul smell. Avoid alcohol and tobacco (this worsens your problem).
5. The underarms tend to accumulate more sweat, removing hair by waxing or shaving helps prevent sweat rings.
6. Drinks lots of water and fresh vegetables juices to reduce sweating and hydrate the body.
7. Drink a glass of water in the morning, on an empty stomach, along with 500 mg of wheat grass. The chlorophyll present in the grass will help in reducing odour.
8. A few drops of rose water or tea tree oil added to the bath, will give long lasting freshness.
9. If body odour persists despite good hygiene, gently dry brush skin before shower. This will unclog the pores and release smelly toxins.
