Garnier Bodycocoon Intense Moisture Lotion – Quick Review

Price: INR 89 for 125ml
               INR 145 for 250ml
What it says on the bottle:
Is Garnier bodycocoon lotion right for me?
Yes, if your skin feels dry, rough, flaky and tight and you want a moisturing body lotion that will soothe and restore the skin's suppleness, leaving it unbelievably soft.
How is it different?
Its creamy yet light texture is instantly absorbed into the skin, enveloping it in a nourishing cocoon of softness, leaving it deliciously fragnanced. Its moisturing formula blends selected natural ingredients: nutritive fruit oils from apricots, olives, blackcurrants and avacados to deliver an immediate burst of moisture to the skin.
Dry Skin appears transformed:
Visibly smoother
Noticeably softer
Use, wherever possible, active natural ingredients which have been carefully extracted to preserve their quality and purity, have been dermatologically tested to ensure respect to your skin.
Pros
I love the orange colour bottle!! I usually don’t talk about the packaging in Pros but I really like this bottle. In fact, I have always wanted to buy this because of its packaging only.
Smells yumm.
Very moisturizing.
A little goes a long way.
Economic.
Cons
No SPF.
But still is a great product for people with dry skin and will be handy with winters just around the corner. As it does not contain SPF I would recommend people to use it before going to sleep, and using a SPF lotion during daytime.
My Rating: 4/5
Paisa Vasool: Yes J
So…. What body lotion are you using currently? Have you ever used this?

And this is why I give up on Wuthering Heights

(I guess it’s pretty obvious from the title but just for precaution’s sake, this is a non-beauty related post. Kill me….)

On recommendation of a very good friend of mine, I picked up Wuthering Heights. So many people especially ladies are going to hate me for saying this. But I didn’t like Wuthering Heights. And I am giving up on it now.
Yeah yeah I know it’s a classic, a tale of passionate love, which knows no boundaries, blah blah blah.
But mind you, I am not one of those people who give up on books because they are hard reads( I have read and liked “The Fountainhead” for god’s sake!), neither do I give up after two or three chapters. I read more than half of this book before deciding to not read it any further. I felt like whatever may happen in the end now; it just can’t justify what all crap just happened. I didn’t find a single character that I could feel empathy for. The leading lady, Catherine seemed too intolerable, spoilt. I still want to smack her. And Heathcliff, gawd you think you are going to do such heartless, vicious, shameful things and get my sympathy on account of what a terrible childhood you had. No dude. That aint happening.
I am keeping this post pretty much spoiler free. Please don’t let me stop you if you have any intentions of reading WH, the whole world is all praise for it, it just isn’t my cup of tea. The storyline was uselessly morbid for me.
If you do read it or have already read it, do share your thoughts about the book.

The Body Shop Love ETC- EAU DE PARFUM Review

Price:  For 50ml(1.69 fl oz) INR 1495 , $29.50
            For 30ml (1.0 fl oz)  INR 1195, $24.00
From the site:
Fragrance personality: A sensuous blend of Egyptian jasmine with warm, radiant notes of vanilla and sandalwood.
Family: floriental
Notes:
Top notes: pear, neroli, bergamot
Middle notes: jasmine, heliotrope, lily of the valley
Base notes: vanilla, sandalwood, musk cream
My View:  Oh sweet mother of all that is good and pure and fantastic, I love this perfume!! Though this fragrance has been around for a while now(since 2009), I am glad that I finally decided to check it out. Now I am not into floral scents that much, but this one interested me. It does change once it drys down, so I strongly recommend that before buying this or for that matter, before buying any fragrance just try it in stores and wear it for some hours. Let the fragnance develop.
Love ETC is vibrant, sweet but yet not over powering sweet, fresh yet musky. I think it would come under day time fragrances but I won’t mind wearing it at night too. One of my friends even described this as spicy. I like its lasting power, and compared to other fragrances I find its price just fine.
My rating: 4/5
Paisa Vasool: YES!!
