Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula - Firming Butter - Review

Hi girls, how many body butters have you tried? I love using body butters because they are thicker yet non greasy as compared to a lot of lotions. I have used products from Palmer's sourced from the USA many times but I am glad the brand is making a strong presence in India as well.

Today I'm going to share my views on the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula, Firming Butter. It contains shea butter, collagen, elastin and Vitamin E - all products known to enhance the elasticity of the skin. Skin usually shows signs of age if it is not kept well moisturised. And if your moisturiser can help tone your skin along with the usual anti-dryness properties, then it is a great bonus.

Za True White Liquid Foundation OC30: Review, Swatch, Price

Za True White Liquid Foundation is a foundation I have been using lately and will probably continue to use during summers as it boasts of an SPF25 PA++.

So first things first, lets take a quick look at the packaging. Za True White Liquid foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The shape of the bottle is interesting.

I don't like glass bottles personally because then my 2 minute makeup routine stretches to 5 minutes because I need to make sure I take out the bottle carefully, dispense the product and put it back safely before I topple it over onto the floor. So I keep my Za True White Liquid foundation very carefully because this is my current go-to foundation and I don't want to break the bottle.

Za True White Liquid Foundation OC30: Review, Swatch, Price

The dispenser is good, one pump dispenses a small amount (see the swatch image below) so there is never any wastage and no hygiene issues as well.

The texture of the foundation is a semi-thick liquid that blends easily. I do not notice any fragrance in this so people with sensitive noses should be OK to use this.

Za True White Foundation has medium coverage that is buildable. I have shade OC30 which is the closest match to my skin. It looks a tad bit lighter but settles down to match my skin in about an hour or with the help of a little dusting of my Bare Minerals warm glow loose powder. There are 6 shades available and OC30 is the darkest shade. So if you have a deeper skin tone I don't think you'll find a match. There is one more shade available for skin with pink undertones.

Vivel Skin Nourishing Soaps - Green Tea Soap and Mixed Fruit+ Cream Soap Review

Last month I tried out two soaps from the Vivel Skin Nourishing range of soaps. The Vivel Grean Tea soap and the Mixed Fruit+ Cream soap. I am going to review them both here.

Vivel Skin Nourishing Soap With Green Tea  - Review

The Green Tea soap is a pale green in color. It has a gentle fragrance and leaves a fresh clean feel after bathing.

Both soaps boast of Vitamin E which is known for being beneficial to skin. The packaging is a simple cardboard packaging with an eye catching bright print. Ingredients are mentioned on the pack along with the price.

Each soaps is available at Rs 22 for 100gm.
