Monthly Empties - April 2024

 Purplle Snail Mucin Instant Hydration Serum

30 ml

This is the worst in house brand by purplle. I feel like all the products are over priced and don't perform at all. Like always I bought this on BOGO, so perhaps I have one more of this. God help me. 

Plum Bakuchiol & 1 % Retinol Serum

INR 790 for 30 ml

Okayish. 30 ml is a lot of product for a serum and I couldn't see any appreciable result. Not repurchasing. 

Vaadi Herbals Aromatherapy Body Oil

INR 95 for 50 ml

I love this stuff, I wouldn't mind buying this perpetually. Works great both as a massage oil & as an after bath body oil. I sleep like a baby when I use this. Stocking up after my No Buy ends in June. 

Vayam Ayurveda Tvacha Shuddhi Neem Face Serum

10 ml

Pretty decent. I don't like the smell of Neem & it's a tad bit overpowering in this one. Aside from that it works really well on my oily skin

Kiya's Face Wash Powder

INR 350 for 15 gm

This was a fantastic product but I do think it's overpriced. That's a whopping 23 bucks for a single gram. Not  repurchasing. 

Review of Kiya's Face Wash Powder

 I've been trying to use more natural products from some time now. I switched to cleansing grains (like besan, oatmeal etc) as my facewash in the mornings. I only have night cream on my face and I felt like using commercial face washes was stripping my skin of all moisture. Recently I came across this powder face wash from Kiya's. While I have used an assorted range of products to wash my face I had never used a powder face wash that foams up. Colour me intrigued!

🍀 This powder face wash from Kiya's comes in this cute glass bottle with a screw on cap. Packaging is on point and is convenient to use.

🍀 The face wash powder is finely milled & dissolves easily in a little amount of water. When rubbed it produces a foam which cleans the skin well without stripping the skin of it's natural moisture.

🍀 A little goes a long way and you barely need a pinch of product for each use. 

🍀 Ingredient list is made up of Rose petal powder, Rose extract, Corn starch, Glycerin and coconut based cleanser. 

🍀 I'm a sucker for nice smelling products and this one smells exactly like roses. It's refreshing to use in summers. It provides gentle cleansing and scrubbing effect. 

🍀 Kiya's products are Vegan, made using herbal extracts, cruelty free and contain No Sulphates, Parabens, Phthalates or Mineral oil. It's GMP certified and FDA approved to boot.

🍀 It's an Indian brand. Yay for Vocal for Local. 

🍀 A 15 gm bottle retails for INR 350. You can pick it up from kiyas.in
