Hair Oiling is an integral part of Indian Culture; those of us in the sub-continent have grown up with mothers oiling our hair and have experienced the efficacy of the concept for years. Which in essence implies we know the in’s & out’s of our Hair Oil and over the years have learnt the ability to identify a good one. This is one such oil that immediately stood out to me.
This leave-in hair oil has been around for a long time. The gold bottle has attained a somewhat iconic status and is easily identified at the salon displays. Many swear by it and I am here to see if there is a reason why! Is it really as good as everyone says it is or is it just plain old marketing. Let’s find out.
I am a big fan of J beauty primarily because Japanese skincare is about minimal efforts with max gain and who doesn’t appreciate that! Bioré is a popular J-Beauty brand that recently launched in India. I am thrilled because previously I had to ask friends who travelled to Japan to shop for me and pandemic put a stop to that as well; so am very glad to purchase locally.
Previously I have used their Sunscreen which is my absolute favourite and has a cult following so I wanted to try other things the brand had to offer. I have generally had a bitter experience with cleansing oils in the past so I was hesitant but since the brand had impressed me with their sunscreen I thought I should try the cleansing oil and I am glad I did.
Jo Malone is a British Brand, now under the Estee Lauder umbrella. I have always been a fan of their aesthetics, minimal presentation & philosophy behind designing a fragrance. It has been over a year since they launched in India and I have since tried three of their fragrances. In this post I am talking about Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense. It is an oriental scent composed by Mathilde Bijaoui. The brand describes it as “a nomad song of sand and smoke-threaded twilight” which paints the image of a fragrance thats mysterious and nuanced.

Nourish Mantra – a relatively new Indian brand that also retails in the USA (which means their formulations abide by stricter rules as compared to ones that retail in India only). The brand believes in “Slow Beauty” and claims to be on a mission to modernize traditional Indian beauty philosophies making them relevant. The products are claimed to be 100% vegan, cruelty-free and created with ethically sourced ingredients which IMO is wonderful.
Ceramides are a hot ingredient as far as Skincare is concerned and for good reason. They are a integral component of the skin barrier. Ceramides are lipids/ fat molecules that help the skin retain moisture and protects it from external aggressors. But like everything a lot of things in life (eg. sanity) you begin to lose this as you age! So when I had a chance to try this Rice Ceramide Emulsion, it is safe to say I jumped at it!

M-Caffeine as a brand never really caught my eye primarily because the market is abuzz with coffee based products offered by numerous new entrants and there is only so much one can keep up with! I would have never tried it unless Ms. Super Consumer encouraged me to check out some options from M-Caffeine and I am glad I did! In this post I am reviewing the Naked & Rich – Choco Body Butter.

I have been on the lookout for a oil cleanser that can remove waterproof mascara without stinging my eye. Safe to say I have been miserably failing in this quest. I really do like wearing mascara but the prospect of removing it at the end of the day was getting daunting. To rise above this fear I gave it another shot with The Rice Water Bright – Light Cleansing Oil.
