Aroma Treasures Golden Glow Oil Review

I wanted to use facial oils from the longest time. But when you have oily skin it's better to wait for winter before using anything heavy or oily on your skin. I have used this facial oil twice everyday for the past 4 months & time is ripe for a review.

M.R.P 303 INR for 50 ml

Aroma Treasures Golden Glow Oil comes in a small plastic bottle with a screw on lid housed in a cardboard box. Both the box & the label on the bottle contain all the necessary information regarding the product. The lid also has a flip top with a small hole to control how much oil you take out. It dispenses oil perfectly- there has never been any spills or flowing oil to deal with.

The facial oil is a yellow coloured, light weight oil that gets absorbed instantly. The yellow does not transfer onto the face.I need about 2 -3 drops for my face & neck. The best part is that it dries to a matte finish in 2 minutes flat- it's difficult to even tell if you have anything on your face, much less oil. It also offers an oil balancing effect- I never wake up with an oil slicked face. Though I didn't notice any "glow" post using this, I still like how my skin feels when I use this oil.

Yays

Beautiful smell of turmeric & vetiver.

Packaging is spot on.

Absorbs & dries to a matte finish in a jiffy.

Has an oil balancing effect

Cost effective

Nays

I wish it came in a smaller sized bottle. Despite using regularly, I've only finished about half of the bottle. Besides, the instructions say that the product has to be finished within 4 months of opening. (See how hard it was to come up with a con!)

I'm happy with this facial oil- the first I've ever tried. Will be repurchasing come winter. Cheers.

My Very Own Box - O for Orange

Spring is here in my city. Heck it's full blown summer but spring sounds more romantic. Keeping up with the spirit of spring/ summer this month's box will contain only orange coloured products

L'oreal 6 Oil Nourish Extraordinary Oil

INR 199 for 100 ml

Was tempted to buy this from a long time, finally succumbed. The smell is a tad too strong for my liking & the packaging is pretty meh. Why do things only look pretty until you buy them?!

Magic Orange Scrub Soap

INR 30 for 75 gm

I love the scent of orange & I HAVE to buy anything with scrub in it. Yet to try.

Biocare Papaya Gel

INR 200 for 500 ml

Got this to use as body moisturizer in summer. Generally I can't tolerate any cream on my skin in the hotter months. Hoping to change that this year with this light weight gel.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub

INR 240 for 100 gm

Neutrogena products work beautifully on my skin. Can't wait to try this.

Vedic Line Papaya Bio Gel Serum

INR 200 for 65 ml

Was blown away by a number of positive reviews. Yet to try.

Nature's Essence Perfect Papaya Face Wash

INR 60 for 65 ml

I got this free with a facial kit. It's got a lovely smell & cleans without drying.

Vaadi Herbals Luxurious Saffron Soap

INR 38 for 75 gm

I bought a ton of Vaadi soaps last year. I have enough to last me a few years. Like this soap, just don't love it.

Banjara's Saffron Facial Kit

INR 175 for 90 gm

I mostly stick to Nature's Essence facial kits. Wanted to try Banjara facial kit from a long time. Will update with results soon.

Lotus Herbals Orange Lip Balm

INR 125 for 5 gm

This used to be my HG lip balm. I have bought & used so many that now I'm bored. This is the last Lotus lip balm in my stash.

Banjaras Papaya Water (NOT PICTURED)

INR 50 for 60 ml

Forgot to add this while taking pics. Just bought this because I was bored of plain old rose water.

That's my box for this month. Looking back, I seem to have only picked papaya & saffron products. What have you hauled?

February Empties

Hi all, time for another empties post. This time I actually have a makeup empty- my mascara. I somehow feel like it takes forever to finish up stuff especially makeup. Let's get straight to it.

Nivea Creme Coconut Cream Shower

INR 165 for 250 ml

Bought this with high hopes but it smells quite flat. No repurchase.

Health & Glow Nail Enamel Remover

INR 39 for 30 ml

With Lakme increasing its prices like crazy, I was on the lookout for a more affordable option. This is good stuff. Will buy again.

Maybelline Hyper Curl Volume Express Mascara

INR 300 for 9.2 ml

I've only been buying Maybelline mascaras ever since I started wearing them. I wasn't particularly impressed with this until I used the Lakme Eyeconic last month. The Lakme one was so ho- hum that it makes Maybelline Hyper Curl look good. No more experimenting. Going back to my trusted Colossal.

Lotus Herbals Whiteglow Oatmeal & Yogurt Skin Whitening Scrub

INR 185 for 100 gm

Love this. I read somewhere that scrubs are like the walkman of skincare- ancient & not as effective as the newer options. I NEED a BHA to clean out my blackheads but there's something so satisfying about using a scrub. My skin just feels good when I use one. Will be repurchasing after I whittle down my stash.

Khadi Chocolate & Honey Herbal Body Butter

INR 140 for 50 gm

This is a fairly sticky body butter & that's the reason I used it as a hand cream. It smells great but takes forever to absorb. No repurchase.

Masoor Dal (Not pictured)

Loved using this on my face. Might prepare again.

Sunnipindi (Not pictured)

I love this DIY herbal bath powder but it's too much of a hassle to prepare. Will stick to store bought ubtans for a while.

No matter how much stuff I finish, it feels like I'm using up only a teeny tiny bit. Still, it's a step in the right direction. How much stuff have you finished?
