Organic Harvest After Sun Gel Creme - Review, Swatches

Organic Harvest After Sun Gel Creme is an interesting product. Its a creme that is supposed to be used after sun exposure instead of before. 

Organic Harvest After Sun Gel Creme - Review, Swatches

First let's talk about the packaging. The After Sun Gel Creme comes in a small glass bottle with a pump head. The bottle is housed in a cardboard container with details about the product mentioned on the sides. 

The pump locks itself when turned anti-clockwise - this is great as the product doesn't slip if you carry it with you through the day. 

Price: Rs 495 for 50 gm [ available online for 6% off at flipkart.com ]

An After Sun gel creme is basically intended to reverse the effects of Sun post exposure. Unlike a sunblock that is used before you step out in the Sun, this cream by Organic Harvest is to be used after sun exposure.

Vedic Line+ SunProctor SPF 30 - Review

Vedic Line+ SunProctor - Packaging & Price

I like the name given to this sunscreen - a sun protector. The sunscreen comes in a travel friendly tube which is a gorgeous orange in color. It has a flip cap that shuts nicely and is safe to carry in your purse.

Vedic Line+ SunProctor - Review

The Vedic Line+ SunProctor has an SPF of 30 and protects against both UVA and UVB rays. The company claims that it protects for a good nine hours. I usually don't stay in the sun that long so I cannot say much about that claim. The instructions on the back do suggest you apply it 2-3 times a day as required. It is usually recommended that you reapply your sunscreen after every 4 hours to ensure maximum protection from the UV rays.

The Week That Was

What a week it has been. Life has been crazy this past week but I did manage to share with you a part of my life through my posts. Here is a little summary in case you missed out something.

There was a tutorial on how to hide a gray strand of hair right before a party. A very easy and handy tip to save you at the last minute. Read How To Cover A Gray Strand of Hair

Next up was a post on my favourite nail paint. The brand and this particular shade is my all time favourite. To know why and take a look at the swatches check out Sally Hansen 260 So Much Fawn

Then came a dud product, something I had high hopes with but which failed to impress - Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash Review

And then something straight from my heart - a water colour which I call The Unborn

I followed this with a review on another great product from Tvam Naturals - Tvam Lavender Ylang Ylang Sunscreen

And finally my favourite fragrance - something I ought to have reviewed ages ago but better late then never - something you girls will love - Adidas Fruity Rhythm Eau De Toilette

How did your week go? Which of the above products have you tried and which post was your favourite? Do leave your comments and make my week come to a nice end :)

TVAM Lavender Ylang Ylang Sunscreen Review

Sunscreens don't suit my facial skin and always cause me to break out. That is why I limit the use of sunscreens only to my arms and feet. Today I am going to review a sunscreen that is non-sticky and gives a very fresh feeling.

TVAM naturals Lavender Ylang Ylang Sunscreen is what I tried out recently.

TVAM naturals Lavender Ylang Ylang Sunscreen

What the company claims

"Lavender & Ylang-Ylang Sunscreen Lotion with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 shields and protects your skin from UVA/UVB/Infrared rays, which may contribute to skin damage and premature aging. Exposure to sun can lead to serious sunburns, wrinkles and pigmentation. Thus, this lotion is ultra effective if used liberally before stepping out in the Sun as it prevents sunburns, keeping skin soft and smooth too. The powerful natural extracts help to protect, soothe and hydrate the skin."
