AROMA MAGIC Nourishing Dew Cream


AROMA MAGIC Nourishing Dew Cream

Hey All,

My opinion
As I have dry skin this product I ordered while searching randomly for dry skin creams and moisturizers thought to give it a try as I heard a lot about Aroma magic before. This is my 1st product from aroma magic.
The packaging is as usual white tub with a red cap. Cream is kind of transparent in texture a little amount of this cream is enough for application as it spread well due to little runny kind of texture.
As it claims to reduce fine lines but I am not worrying about this whether it will or not because my main purpose is to get rid of dryness nothing else and yeah till now it’s working well I am applying this immediately after washing my face (Yeah we all know this is the best time for applying any cream or moisturizer for better absorption) I really liked the mild fragrance of this and cooling effect J

Pros
Packaging no need to cut the tube for last drop :P ( I don’t know you too do this or not )
Price
Fragrance
Good for dry skin

Cons
May not be good for oily skin peoples and also for dry skin beauties in winters
Don’t know whether it will work on fine lines or not

BST Rating
3.5/5

Repurchase
Yeah I will

Hope you guys liked my review of Aroma magic nourishing dew cream

DIY- How to grow nails faster


How to grow nails faster

We all love long, strong and shiny  nails isn't we but on average nails grow per day usually fingernails grow faster than toenails So, today I will tell how to grow nails faster.

What are the factors that affect our nails growth I think vitamin deficiencies, age, season, gender, hereditary factors, hormonal imbalance, regular use of nail paints etc.



Home remedies for Nail Growth

Almond oil, jojoba oil, flax seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, wheat germ oil and vitamin E oil work as excellent Nail Growth home remedies.



Green tea, white tea, almond extract and aloe vera are also useful in increasing Nail Growth.



Going for frequent manicures is one of the most popular Nail Growth tips used to stimulate faster Nail Growth.



Rubbing a slice of lemon for shiny and strong nails.



Soaking nails in water milk for 10-15 minutes.



Apply warm olive oil.



Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water.



Consume more vegetables and fruits like beans, carrot, spinach, cabbage, red pepper, walnut, cashew nut, figs etc


Hope this post is useful to all :)

Garnier Body Cocoon - Moisturizer


Garnier Body Cocoon

Peoples with dry skin can try out different types of body lotions frequently that's the best about them and yes I am also luckiest one with dry skin J.This time I bought Garnier Body Cocoon and yeah I can say that Garnier is one of the my favorite brand I have tried many of their products like shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers  creams, sunscreens and blah blah !!! as their products are affordable and easily available. What I loved most about this product is its fragrance kind of fruity mild just loved this.



I have been using from last 3 weeks now thought it’s body lotion but it’s more likely to be a cream in consistency but once I apply it not really have to give much time for rubbing as my skin quickly absorbs it and this leaves my skin soft and supple for about 7-8 hours and fragrance lasts up to 3-4 hours. For my skin its suiting best but if you have oily skin just try it once before buying and as clearly mentioned over the bottle Do not apply on face. After applying it I really felt that my skin is under cocoon as the name suggest Garnier Cocoon J.Be sure to take enough of this lotion as small quantity will not work and gently rub it till absorbs completely after it will leaves non greasy smooth skin J



Specifications
Unisex
Organic
Compositions (Apricot Oil, Olive Oil, Blackcurrant Oil, Avocado Oil)
Rs.185 – 250 ml

Pros
Mild and fruity fragrance
Economical price
Non Greasy
Packaging is really good
Easy to Carry out
Good Texture

Cons
As a body moisturizer it’s good but only if you sitting at home or in night as it doesn't contains SPF.

Rating – 4.5/5
