Today's special is the review of Lakme Fruit Blast Berry Lush face wash which I have been using for past few months. It's too late as I reviewed few other face washes from this fruit blast range already. I gave the mandarin and melon ones to my friends, so the only thing left to review is this one. (I have another mandarin one with me, may review it later). I loved the yummiest fragrance of the Lakme Fruit Blast Strawberry Facewash and it got over long before. This one also contains Strawberries, and as bonus the raspberries too, hence I am using this nowadays. Let me give a detailed review about this with my experience. Oops!! Forgot to say! Happy Valentine's day guys and girls!!!! (Thought to do a separate post, but lazy me.. Sorry :(. Please do forgive)

Claims of this Face Wash
Berries are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that protect the skin from damage and aging. These fruits were traditionally used to soothe sun burns and moisturise the skin.
Lakmé Berry Lush Fruit Energising Facewash is a nutrient rich blend of fresh crushed raspberries and strawberries. Known to have high doses of Vitamin C and essential antioxidants, it revives your skin and returns that healthy glow. The strawberry seeds gently scrub away dead skin cells, while the raspberry extracts rehydrate your skin, leaving it nourished, tingling fresh and smelling of berries all day long.

My Views with Ratings
The Packaging
The Lakme Fruit Blast Berry Lush face wash comes in a tube like every other face washes from this range comes, with a flip type cap. The tube is semi transparent and hence it is easy to find how much is left inside the tube. The only thing that bothered me is the cap, In the first tube I used, it was perfect and travel friendly. But when I got my second tube, the cap was too tight to open/close and hence I gave little more force to open.. Ouch.. The cap got very loose then.. Hence, I couldn't take it anywhere and it's not travel friendly. The flip cap should be improved in these fruit blast face washes. Other than this thing, I loved the hygienic and cute tube packaging!
Rating: 4/5
Flip Type Cap
Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
The face wash is gel based and deep plum coloured with tiny strawberry seed exfoliators floating inside it (Refer below pic). The consistency is neither too thick, nor too runny and it lasts for more than a month. And it has a very yummy and mild fruit fragrance (Not sweeter than the strawberry face wash from this range though) and I loved it as it gives a fresh feel with every wash. But I doubt whether the few tiny exfoliating beads exfoliate my whole facial skin or not with a tiny squeeze. Other than this doubt, I am totally okay with this product's CCF. And so, No more complaints about the colour, consistency or fragrance! Perfect!

How it works on Me
I will finish this part short and sweet.
This face wash gives a cooling sensation and obviously tingles a bit too which may be okay for some people and not okay for very sensitive skins. The lathering effect is very less, it lathers only a bit when I rubbed many times in my hands. If you expect for a rich lathering face wash, this wont be your choice at all. Unlike the Strawberry face wash from this fruit blast range, it doesn't dry out my skin much. Listen, not to the extent of no need of moisturiser, It just doesn't dries. Doesn't moisturises too. The stretchy feel in dry skins will be less when compared to the strawberry face wash and of course you will need a moisturiser after cleansing your face with this.Other than this, it's perfect for everyday use with a mild fruity fragrance and gel texture. A great face wash for oily skins (May be normals too) and for dry skins, I won't recommend this. Go for a extra nourishing one. Overall it's a good fruit face wash.
Rating: 3.5/5 (-1 for the tingle and -0.5 for no moisturising effect)
PROS
- Yummy fruit fragrance which will be a treat for strawberry and raspberry lovers.
- Affordable price for the quantity.
- Easily available everywhere.
- The very cute gel texture with exfoliating beads which many may like.
- It doesn't give much stretchy feel (Expect dry skins). Oily skins will love it (Normal skins in winters)
- Great for everyday use for a refreshing feel with fruit extracts!
CONS
- Because of the cap in few packs (not all), it might not be travel friendly.
- Tingling sensation may not be liked for sensitive skins.
- I doubt whether the exfoliating beads work or not (Because they are less in numbers)
- Stretchy feel in dry skins.
- Doesn't lather well. If you expect rich lather, this won't be your choice.
My Recommendation: Go for it oily skins! You will love the refreshing fruit aroma in every wash. Normal skins can try this in winters. Dry skins and very sensitive skins stay away as this is not moisturising and tingles a bit too.
Overall Rating: 4/5
Will I repurchase?: Yes, in summers for the fruit fragrance. It's not going to be my winter choice.
