AROMA MAGIC’S WITCH HAZEL PACK


I never had acne and pimple problems as such, but a few months back I found a few pimples bobbled out on my face, quite shocked and disheartened, I went to the nearby store to get hold of an anti-acne/anti-pimple product. There I came across AROMA MAGIC’S WITCH HAZEL PACK. I had used a few aroma magic products before and was pretty satisfied with them, so I didn’t think twice before buying it, and the witch hazel quite attracted me as well.
So here is the review:
 WHAT AROMA MAGIC CLAIMS:
It is excellent for massage of acne and pimple skin. Its nourishing and healing properties help to treat acne and pimples.

INGREDIENTS: Aroma Magic Witch Hazel Pack contains extracts of Witch Hazel, Cabbage, Neem, Seaweed, Beta Carotene & pure essential oils of Juniper Berry, Tea Tree, Rosemary and Eucalyptus.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Cleanse skin with Aroma Magic Mint Cleanser & further deep cleanse with Aroma Magic Papaya Enzyme Lotion. Apply Aroma Magic Witch Hazel Pack & massage gently. Wipe off after 10 minutes.

PRICE:  Rs. 160 for 50gm

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION OF AROMA MAGIC’S WITCH HAZEL PACK:
It is a transparent gel based product which comes in a round tub with black flat cap. Ingredients list, directions for use and other details are well mentioned.

MY TAKE ON AROMA MAGIC’S WITCH HAZEL PACK:
As I was not too familiar with witch hazel at that time, I quickly googled it and found that Witch hazel is an astringent produced from the leaves and bark of the North American Witch-hazel shrub, which is good in controlling sores and blemishes, shrink eye bags, treat and sooth sun burn, treat dry skin, etc.
I just dabbed some gel on my faced and massaged in a light circular motion, concentrating more on the pimple prone areas. I kept it for 15-20 minutes, until it dried and then washed it off with plain water. For the first time aroma magic product failed to show anything in its first use. I was little upset, but didn’t lose heart and continued to use it every day. But after 3-4 uses, I actually could feel the difference, the redness of the pimples reduced quite a lot, soothed the pain and my skin texture also improved. It didn’t over dry my skin and made it clean and even reduced the large pores. Finally it helped me a lot to shrink my swollen pimples to some extent.

SUMMING UP THE PROS AND CONS OF AROMA MAGIC’S WITCH HAZEL PACK:
PROS:
1.     Travel friendly packaging.
2.     Gives a cool relief instantly.
3.     Sooths the pain and reduces the redness of pimples.
4.     Can be used every day.
5.     Contains natural ingredients.
6.     It didn’t over dry my skin.
7.     Worth for the money.
8.     Easily available.
9.     Improves skin texture.

CONS:
1.     Tub packaging. I find tubes and bottles more hygienic.

WOULD I REPURCHASE AROMA MAGIC’S WITCH HAZEL PACK?
No, until I’m attacked by another round of pimples.

WOULD I RECOMMEND AROMA MAGIC’S WITCH HAZEL PACK TO OTHERS?
Yes, ladies who have acne and pimple problems can give it a try.

Mystic Isolation



 
  
Hidden deep in the great himalayan mountains, Bhutan had remained in mystic isolation for centuries..the Bhutanese have treasured their natural environment as it is seen the source of all life and the abode of the gods and spirits... This mythical land was visited by us... :)

So here are some of the pictures taken there..hope you like them.. 



FOGG DEODORANT (ESSENCE)


“800 sprays guaranteed!!” … This was enough for the three of us to rush to the nearby store and get hold of one each, and I chose the Fogg Essence.
Here is the review:

What Fog claims:
No Gas, Only Deo. The brand tries to convey this value proposition by suggesting that other deodorant brands has more gas than actual deo by demonstration and by guaranteeing 800 sprays for a bottle.
Price: 180 for 120 ML

My take on Fogg Deodorant (Essence):
This Deodorant is not for me. I totally agree with the “no gas, only deo” thing, but I find the smell to be very very strong. Deodorant makes you feel fresh and odor free, but in this case the smell just over powers me, I start sneezing in no while after using this deodorant. The fragrance is so long lasting that it keeps on coming from the clothes even if the clothes are thrown in laundry (cherry on the top for people who loves the smell).

There is a scale on the side of the bottle indicating level of perfumed liquid in the bottle.
Summing up the PROs and CONs of Fogg Deodorant (Essence):


PROS:
1.     Long-lasting fragrance
2.    Travel friendly bottle
3.    True perfumed liquid.
4.    Comes in four different fragrances
5.    Doesn't stain clothes.
6.    Easily available.

CONs:
1.     The smell is too strong for me.
2.    Leaves behind a burning sensation. (this may vary from person to person)

Would I repurchase Fogg Deodorant (Essence)?
No way. May be my favorite deodorants never guarantee 800 sprays, but I’m happy with their mild, soothing and refreshing fragrance.

Would I recommend Fogg Deodorant (Essence) to others?
If one doesn't have a nose for strong fragrances, then “Yes”..
