Shesha Beauty Ashtapathy Shampoos and Soaps – Review

August 18, 2017 1 Comment

Nowadays, I find myself leaning more towards natural, organic and ayurvedic products for skin and hair care. We all know about the ill-effects of parabens and SLEs so I am trying to avoid them as much as I can. Recently, I was sent some products from the newly launched Ayurveda brand from Shesha Beauty, Ashtapathy, which has a range of coconut oil based shampoos and soaps.

About Shesha Beauty Ashtapathy Range

Harnessing tried and tested Ayurvedic beauty secrets is Ashtapathy. Ashtapathy Herbals is a herbal bath and body care brand from Kerala. In today’s times when purity in products is a rarity, Ashtapathy captures Ayurveda in its purest form and brings the same to you in a subtle way.

All of our products are prepared with the pure and potent coconut oil as the base. The entire range is free of parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate, mineral oils, artificial perfumes and colour additives and are prepared from organically sourced medicinal herbs through a 100% natural process with the guidance of ancient Ayurveda scriptures.

Kylie Cosmetics June Bug Lip Kit – Review, Swatches

August 4, 2017 Leave a Comment

Finally I bought a Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit! The world is obsessed with these but somehow I never got the “I need to have it” vibe from these products. That was until she dropped the June Bug Lip Kit ($30) in the 2017 Summer Collection.

June Bug is a vibrant orchid/purple color. I am in a purple obsessed lip color phase so anything remotely purple excites me no end right now. Hence this choice. Plus, the color also goes very well with our skin tone and it does not look too loud.

As with all Kylie Cosmetics lip kits, along with the matte liquid lipstick, there is also a lip liner in the same shade. The packaging is different from the regular lip kit packaging and looks more luxurious with all the gold.

Kylie Lip Kits are popular no doubt but these have not really got great reviews. Many people have said that the formula is very drying and some of the colors go on patchy. My experience with June Bug is quite good though. The lip liner is creamy and applies very well. The pigmentation is also very impressive.

The liquid lipstick is really good. The vanilla smell is a bit too strong but I quite like the formula. Pigmentation is brilliant and it applies very well. The lipstick goes opaque in one swipe and lasts for nearly 5-6 hours. It does get a bit drying after sometime though but nothing too uncomfortable. This is my first Kylie Lip Kit so I don’t have anything to compare it against but my experience with June Bug has been really good. Plus, the color is so rad. It immediately brightens up the face and every time I apply it, I get so many compliments!
