Fabindia Review!!!

12:13

So for the very first time, on my blog I am reviewing some of the products by Fabindia. Fabindia is one of the renowned and loved brands of India which deals with garments, accessories, home linen, home furnishing, home products, floor covering, personal products and organics. In today’s post I will be reviewing some of the personal care products. Fabindia personal care products range includes skin and hair care products.

Few months ago I was looking for organic and natural skin care products and one of my friends recommended me to try the Fabindia products.I must say they have a wide range of skin care products and I am totally in love with them. Till now I have no side effects or allergy, they all are reasonably priced and contains sufficient quantity as well.

So here is the review.

Wild Rose Moisturizing Lotion

It comes in a bottle with a small white pump dispenser and a small cap over it. It smells divine and it was actually the smell of roses that made me buy this product. The smell is mild and not very overpowering, absolutely a perfect girl thing. It is a light moisturizing lotion with thick consistency, easy to apply. On application leaves your skin soft, smooth and hydrated with no stickiness. It gets easily absorbed by the skin and leaves it silky smooth. It lasts on the skin for long hours but people with super dry skin need to reapply it after every 3 or 4 hour. It claims of soft and supple skin on regular use and I find it to be true.

Haldi Chandan Mud Pack

It comes in a tub packaging with a lid cover. It smells of sandalwood and has a thick consistency. Patch test is recommended before buying the product because this pack on application causes a tingling sensation on your skin for few minutes, so some of you may like it or not. The pack is smooth and paste like and because of thick consistency it is easy to apply.

The base of this pack is the fuller’s earth (multani mitti) and everyone is well aware of the magic that fullers earth do to our skin. It also contains haldi and chandan which are known for their medicinal properties and combining these two with fuller's earth serves the purpose of many skin problems (like pimples and acne breakage, anti-tanning anti-aging, clear complexion and many more).

My skin is exposed to direct sun for about 5-6 hours daily and I was looking for something that could get me rid of the sun-tan and keep my skin cool so I purchased this product. This haldi chandan mud pack claims of clear skin and also of improvement in complexion (on frequent use). It does leave my skin clean and clear after I remove the pack. I have super oily skin but this pack makes my skin super dry and I have to run for a moisturizer so people who have dry skin or normal skin should think and re-think before purchasing it. One thing which I don’t understand is “why this mud contains so many chemicals also?”, so do go for a patch test before purchasing it. Overall it worked quite well for my skin and helped in keeping my skin clean and fight sun-tan to an extent but as soon as I will run out of this I would look for some other pack(because of the chemicals ) or will instead make one at home using haldi, sandalwood and fullers earth.

Charcoal Face Scrub

Charcoal based products have been on hype since the last year and i was also willing to use one and i came across this charcoal scrub and gave it try.

It claims ”charcoal is known for its ability to absorb impurities. This scrub removes dirt and excess oil from the skin while gently exfoliating them.”

As I have super oily skin it works really well for me, it does remove the excess oil and dirt from my face. It has activated charcoal, walnut granules, almond oil, lemon grass oil and again some chemicals as well. It smells of lemongrass because of the presence of lemon grass oil and it also comes in a tub packaging with a lid cover. This scrub also has a thick paste like consistency and small walnut granules. Be gentle while exfoliating as recommended otherwise you can hurt your skin. Earlier I used it just as a face scrub but I read on internet that it can be used as a face pack as well so now after exfoliating my skin I leave it on my face for around 5 min and then wash it off. It totally refreshes my skin and also brightens it up for few hours.

Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

Now this is one of my favorite product by fabindia and it is a must have product.It contains purified water and aloe-vera powder only. I have been using it on a regular basis from about 5 weeks and it has actually lightened the dark spots on my skin to an extent. It also refreshes my skin and leaves a cooling effect for a while. It also brightens up the skin from within and gives it an inner glow. I absolutely love this product. This also comes in tub packaging with a lid cover and it smells of nothing.

Lip Butter Plum Passion

I actually picked this up because of the cute packaging and its pink color. It has a fruit like fragrance but it has no taste ( I wish it had some taste).The balm is thick but during winters it turns hard which makes it difficult to scrap from the tub. It glides smoothly over lips and deeply moisturizes it. It stays on lips for long hours and also works well for dry and chapped lips. It also works as a lipstick base. It is lightly tinted but it comes out to be transparent on lips. It worked well for my chapped lips and helped in repairing them.
