My Views and Ratings

The Packaging

The lip butter comes in a small transparent tub with a green top cap and inner white lid. "Oh tub, you are not so hygienic" , this I what I felt but I just convinced myself as it is sturdily packed with an inner lid to prevent some mess. It would be so much better if this product comes in tube instead of tub. The cap of the tub is firm and hence the pack becomes travel friendly too. A perfect small and cute tub for everyday use and travel use too (Though I expect tube packing)

Rating: 3.5/5            

                                                   Tub, Cap and lid

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance

The lip butter is very rich, smooth, thick and has a real buttery texture. It is transparent and shows no tint, so colorless lip balms/butter lovers will enjoy it. Even though the consistency is pretty thick, it is very easy to take it out and apply over your lips. It glides smoothly and spreads well without any trouble. To say about the fragrance in single word, It's my "Cocoa Butter" Yes! lovely Cocoa butter flavor and fragrance it has! I love smelling it all the time as it is very tempting. No one can find anything bad in it's fragrance even sensitive noses and hence I would name this as one of the best smelling lip butter!

Rating: 5/5

How it Works On Me

Well..I am using this product for past few days. I do apply it over my lips once in the morning and once at night. This product budges a little while food/drink intake but still it doesn't leave my lips dry or chapped. The lip butter is quite thick but still glides onto my lips smoothly with a fresh cocoa butter fragrance. The fragrance lasts for a decent time and the lip butter stays all day long if you have normal lips. It keep my lips soft, supple all day long with a single application in the morning, I reapply once at night before going to bed. You should apply this twice a day if you have extremely chapped lips and it's not the one which you can use it under your lipstick, because it makes your lipstick bleed due to its thickness. As this made my lips soft and supple, I prefer to use this product in all the seasons, especially in winters. This is going to my winter HG list!! :)

Rating: 4.5/5 (-0.5 for making my lipstick bleed)

PROS

1. Rich buttery texture which glides onto lips smoothly
2. A very little amount is enough for every application, hence lasts longer.
3. Free from petroleum jelly, silicon, artificial colours & preservatives. It is made of natural ingredients and hence, a great boon to all who hate waxy petroleum balms on their lips.
4. It make lips soft, supple, smooth and somewhat cures my fine lip wrinkles. 
5. Even after budging due to food intake, my lips feel soft. It never leaves dryness at all.
6. Easily available everywhere!! It's Himalaya herbals :P 
7. The rich fragrance of Cocoa butter.. yummy :P 
8. A great pick for dry lips in all the seasons. 

 CONS

1. My tub packaging :( (Would be better if it comes in tube) 
2. Not suitable to use along with your lipstick, it does bleeds (This can't be taken as a con for the worthy other benefits of this lip butter though)

My Recommendation: Do you have dry or Chapped lips? Are you a Cocoa Butter lover? Crazy about yummy smelling and colourless lip butters? Need a great winter nourishing product for lips?  Go ahead! It's just another awesome product from Himalaya herbals!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Will I Repurchase?: No guess! It's pretty sure, I will. :) No other product I have ever used cured my chapped lips like this one does.

Product sent by PR for consideration. But all my opinions remain honest.

Himalaya Protein Hair Cream Review

Hello girls and guys!

Being a lover of soft and silky hair, I always use homemade hair packs to provide nourishment to my hair to keep it soft and smoother. Many of my friends complimented me for my hair texture and this makes me take care of it much and more everyday :)  Few weeks ago, I thought of getting a good herbal hair mask than preparing my own at home as I had no time. While shopping and looking out for an hair mask, I came to see this product. It is a Protein Hair Cream from famous Himalaya herbals brand. This seemed promising and hence purchased this instead of a hair mask, especially for the "Extra Nourishment Claim". I have always been an addict of nourishing beauty care items because I believe that nourishing and moisturizing does everything to skin and hair, especially in dry winters. I am using this product for about one and half month twice a week. Let us move to the review now.

My View About This Product with Ratings

The Packaging

                                 Pack in my hand (To guess the exact size)

                             
                                  Wrapped with Silver Foil at the Top

                          Thin layer of plastic cover inside the foil (While opening)

You would have got an idea about the packaging seeing the above pictures itself yet I would like to describe it in few lines for a better idea. The product comes in a sturdy plastic tub of orange and white mixed colour body with a green cap. It's not that cute looking but quite good and compact.The cap is sturdy and fit and hence the product becomes travel friendly. I haven't bought the 30 ml pack, but heard that it comes in tube with a flip type cap. I love all the products with flip type cap because it is hygienic. This 175ml pack may be little unhygienic as you need to dip your hand inside every time you use the hair cream. If the tub is shaked, little cream settles in the cap. The packaging is quite good for the sturdiness but not surely hygienic at all. If comes in a squeeze type bottle or a tube, it would be perfect.
Rating: 4/5 (-1 for tub packaging) 

Colour, Consistency and Texture
                                 
                                  The hair cream's texture on my skin

As you see in the picture, the cream is milky white in colour. It has a smooth texture and perfect consistency, neither too runny, nor thick. It spreads easily over the hair and scalp and becomes transparent hence a little quantity is enough for every use. Hence, one 175 ml tub comes for minimum 3 months with weekly use. The cream doesn't give any greasy feel like hair oils, it spreads smoothly and evenly. To say about the fragrance, it is pretty good, an unexplainable fragrance, but sure it's not a heavy herbal one. It wont bother sensitive noses either. The colour, consistency and fragrance of the cream is really good and I love it a lot!
Rating: 5/5 (Perfect hair cream which spreads easily thus lasts longer)

My Experience and Results
As I needed a good nourishing hair product for whole winter, I picked the bigger pack of 175ml and using it twice in a week one hour before shampooing my hair. I do water spray my hair before applying this hair cream and this makes it spread even more easier. It instantly nourishes my hair and scalp without any oily feel, but it does makes hair heavy. After washing my hair with shampoo, there is no need of using a hair conditioner as this is very nourishing and leaves my hair soft and silky. I don't know whether it controls hair fall or strengthens the roots as they claim, but I am sure if your hair is well nourished, the chances of hair breakage reduces. Thus the hair grows longer and stronger. The only thing that made me feel a bit odd is the paraben content in it. That wont be a big issue nowadays as every other do so. They says that we should use it after hair wash but it is totally false as it leaves greasiness and heaviness behind. Before hair wash or night usage would be fantastic to achieve good hair. With regular usage, it's herbal contents made my hair healthy, soft and dandruff free. So, overall it's a good hair cream which is affordable and of good quality, only the packaging should be improved.
Rating: 4/5 (-1 for greasiness left behind)

PROS

1. Affordable. You get a huge amount for a less price.
2. The hair cream spreads easily over hair and scalp, thus a little amount is required for every usage. Hence, the product lasts longer.
3. It consists of herbal ingredients like chickpea, amla and this nourishes hair and scalp resulting in softness and smoothness of the hair.
4. No conditioner required if used as a pre wash hair cream. Dry scalps may need though.
5. Easily available everywhere and causes no side effects at all.
6. It cures flaky scalp, thus dandruff is controlled little.
7. Prevents spit ends and makes hair healthier with regular use.
8. Boon for people who hate hair oils as it is not that sticky or smelling. The Fragrance is pretty good and mild.

CONS

1. The tub packaging makes it unhygienic. Change it please!
2. Contains parabens, it can't be considered as a big con as most of the cosmetics do so.
3. The hair cream cannot be used after hair wash as they claim, it leaves hair greasy. Pre-wash usage is perfect. 

My Recommendation

Go ahead everyone! :) It's another great product from Himalaya. One of the best nourishing hair cream!

Overall Rating: 4/5 (-1 for the tub packaging)

Will I repurchase again?: Don't you know? :P Yes! Every time of course!
