Apple Kheer Recipe

                           

An apple a day, keeps the doctor away ! 
Hi friends, I hope you all have listened this popular phrase since childhood and it really works. But to eat the same apple daily can be a bit boring. So why not change the way how we intake it. 

Here I have come up with a very easy, intresting dessert made with apples which is tasty as well as healthy.

Lets start with recipe.


STEP 1 : Grate the apples. You can peel the skin or leave it.

STEP 2 : Heat ghee in a pan/kadhai, add the grated apples. Saute till it changes color.

STEP 3 : Add  4 chopped almonds and 4 table spoon sugar and mix properly till the sugar melts.

STEP 4 : Once its done, keep them aside.

STEP 5 : Take 2 table spoons of custard powder in a bowl and add 1.5 cup milk. Mix properly so that no lumps are formed. Keep it aside.

STEP 6 : Heat the remaining milk and allow it to boil for 5 minutes.

STEP 7 : Lower the flame, add the custurd powder dissolved in milk slowly and keep on stirring.

STEP 8 : The milk will start thickening. Tranfer it to the prepared apple puree and stir well.

STEP 9 : Add remaining sugar and allow to boil. Add cardamom powder, raisins and chopped apples.

STEP 10 : Switch off the flame. Cool it in refrigerator. Apple kheer is ready to serve.

Biotique Bio Margosa Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner | Review


                             




Hello lovelies, how are u all doing ?

I am back with a product review and this time brought to you a new brand which I tried and that is Biotique.

Biotique has a wide range of beauty products , from haircare range to skincare. Dandruff is a common problem and one needs to find a perfect solution for it. No doubt, all brands bring their anti dandruff range but how much it really works ?


Some removes dandruff for a one day or two while some removes your hairshine along with it. Does this shampoo from Biotique is like the others or it works as it claims? Read further to know about it...



                               

PRICE : ₹ 159

SHELF LIFE : 3 years



PACKAGING : It comes in a cylindrical sleek plastic container. The cap needs to get rotated in order to open it.


COLOR : The shampoo is light green in color with a creamy solution. It has a thick consistency.


FRAGRANCE : It has a mild fragrance resembles a bit with that of neem(one of its ingredients).


INGREDIENTS : Gandhak element, Neem bark, Bhringraj plant, Ritha fruit, Lotion base.



                           


WHAT IT CLAIMS : The refreshing formula eliminates the dryness, flaking and itching associated with dandruff. Special pH balanced formula is gentle enough for everyday use.


                             



WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT :


πŸ”ΌThe natural ingredients in this shampoo are really good which gives you a faith that it will work wonders on your hairs.


πŸ”ΌIt is quite affordable.


πŸ”Ό The packaging is travel friendly.



WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT :


Well, for this shampoo the cons part is more than the pros ones, so here you go...


πŸ”½It says it is anti- dandruff which has nothing to do what it claimed. It does not work even a single percent on dandruff.


πŸ”½ It removes the softness of your hairs. Initially I thought I should use it with some conditioner but alas! The conditioner too does not work if you have washed your hairs with this shampoo.


πŸ”½The hairs becomes a way too rough and bulky and honestly speaking when you try to comb your hairs, it becomes a difficult task to do.


πŸ”½I gave an another try thinking may be it's the first time and my hairs needs to adjust with the shampoo. But, everytime you wash your hairs with this one, you will get the same result.


πŸ”½ Since, the hairs becomes difficult to comb, no matter how much conditioner and hair serums you apply, it's like a tough-of-war with your hairs resulting in hair fall.


πŸ”½ Even after you have stopped it's usage, your hairs takes time to regain it's original texture and shine.



                                 


MY RATING : ⭐


OVERALL VERDICT


From my side, it's a big NO to this shampoo. I will never ever recommend this one to anyone as it does not work what it claims (removing dandruff) and moreover detoriate the present condition of your hairs. I have tried some other Boutique product which I will be reviewing soon and they are simply awesome. But for this shampoo of Boutique, highly disappointing.

2. Add the milk powder in it and keep on stirring so that no lumps are formed.

3. You will see the mixture get more and more thickened and it changes color from white to light brown.

4. Switch off the flame. Divide the mixture into two "unequal" halves. 

5. In the larger part, add the orange color and mix properly otherwise it becomes bit difficult to mix when it is cold.

6. In the smaller portion of the mixture, add the green color , mix properly and allow it to cool.

7. Now, when the mixture has cooled down, grease your palms with ghee. Take a small amount of the orange mixture and roll it in the shape of  a ladoo (form a ball shape)

8. Repeat the same process with the all the orange mixture .

9. Now take a very small portion of the green dough to make the leaves. The dough will be sticky so you can easily give the shape of rhombus to the leaf and it will be done.

Hi everyone, Himalaya has recently launched it's tan removal kit which includes a face wash, a face scrub and a peel off mask. In this post, I will be sharing my experience of using Himalaya Tan Removal Orange Face Wash. 

So as per it claims, does it really works on tan ? If it is so, then this product from Himalaya will be a favorite for everyone especially for summers. Without much delay, moving on to its review....

PRICE : ₹130 for 100 ml

SHELF LIFE : 2 years

PACKAGING : The face wash comes in a plastic transparent tube with a flip flop cap. 

COLOR : As its main ingredient is orange, the face wash is too orange in color. 



FRAGRANCE : Ahh.... It smells like the orange candy and you will feel like eating it. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS : 


It is an effective blend of orange peel, honey and papain which visibly reduces skin tan and smoothes skin by gently removing dead skin cells. The gentle exfoliating nature of Papain helps removes tan, whereas Orange Peel improves skin tone. Honey soothes and moisture.


WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT : πŸ‘πŸ‘

πŸ”· Its fragrance is mind blowing and you will love while washing your face with it.

πŸ”· The face wash is a gel based formula and cleanses the face in one wash very easily.

πŸ”· The price is in your budget and I guess this is a big plus point in any Himalaya product. You can easily try out any product from this range without thinking about the cost.

πŸ”· It not at all dries out your face. After returning from work, I simply wash my face with this and always forget to apply something as you don't need anything.

πŸ”· The ingredients combination is superb and suitable for all skin tones. I have tried this in summers and feel it will work well in winters too.


πŸ”· It brings an instant shine on your face. 



WHAT I DONT LIKED ABOUT IT πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

πŸ”» The tan is not removed as it claims which led bit of disappointment. I hope it may work after prolonged usage.

πŸ”» The consistency is same as that of the Himalaya Neem face wash, only difference is the color and fragrance. Himalaya could have done a change in its consistency.

πŸ”» The packaging is also very similar to the previous Himalaya face washes.

πŸ”» I was expecting the orange peel extracts in it which they claimed but could find any.


MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐🌠


OVERALL VERDICT : I  would recommend you to buy this face wash from Himalaya as it is very light both on your face and pockets. If you like gel based face wash and use one to cleanse Your face instantly, this will never disappoint you. Yes, don't expect too much like tan removal in one wash or in one week. It may take more time than this.

Yes , I can say that the tan removal part will work more if used with its tan removal scrub and peel off mask. 

Aroma treasures Aloe Vera Gel Review

                           
Aloe vera is a multipurpose natural product and I must say it is a boon for the summers. Not matter you have oily skin or dry or combination skin, it works perfect for each one of them. There are various brands which have launched their Aloe vera gel .

The difference between them and the original one is that the ones available in the stores do have some other ingredients for your skin type. So you cannot completely say that anyone is good for your skin.

I have tried the aloe vera gel from Aroma treasures and it is very different product. Let's know about it more....


PRICE : ₹321 for 500 grams. There is a small pack also available . You can try your hands on that pack when it's your first time.

SHELF LIFE : 2 years

PACKAGING : It comes in a big round transparent plastic container with flat base. The quantity of the gel is clearly visible. 



COLOR : The color of the gel is beautiful grass green.



FRAGRANCE : Now coming to its part which I hate most. It has a peculiar smell. Initially I didn't like it and thought how will I use it. But thank God! It vanishes after you apply it.


WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS



This Aloe vera is suitable for all skin types , body and hair. Highly recommended for following uses :

FACE  : Acne scars, pimples, before makeup, dry and chapped skin, razor cuts, after shaving, ageing.

HAIR : Scalp disorder, improves hair quality, styling, prevents dandruff.


DIRECTIONS FOR USE : Apply to face, hair and skin. Use 2-3 times a day for better results.

MY EXPERIENCE

  • When you will apply it , it get absorbed easily and you will not feel heavy on your skin. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

  • In winters, it dries up the skin. Mine one is oily and my skin too get dry if applied this gel in winters. So I can say not good for any skin type in winters. πŸ˜’πŸ‘Ž

  • In summers, oily and normal skin beauties can definitely try this one out but not dry skin beauties.πŸ‘πŸ‘Ž

  • It brings a shine on your skin and very good as a makeup primer.πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

  • It does not smells that good that you will fall for it but it vanishes as soon as it's applied. πŸ˜’πŸ‘Ž

  • It is paraben free and enriched with essential oils. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘


MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐

OVERALL VERDICT : Well, I liked the aloe vera gel but will recommend to only oily skin and normal skin types. Those with the dry skin, do not try this one. I feel aloe vera gel should be such that it can be used in every season but the ones available in the market as some other ingredients as well which makes your skin dry or oily after application.

Apart from face, for hair and skin purposes, it is very good, definitely a try. I used this Aloe vera gel with coconut oil to reduce my dandruff issues.

The Face Shop Blueberry Sheet Mask | Review

                             
The Face Shop is a Korean brand and has launched it's sheet masks in India. These sheet masks are with goodness of various organic products and available for all skin type range. One can easily choose the sheet masks according to the main ingredient labelled on the pack. 

Recently, I got my hands to this Blueberry Bleuet sheet mask and I have oily skin. But is it worth it? Is it good for the other skin types or not, let us know its review.

PRICE : ₹100 per sheet mask

PACKAGING : The sheet is completely dipped in serum and folded in the waterproof paper packing. The picture of the main ingredient is clearly given on the front side. On its back side, instructions are given how to use it and how it is beneficial.



SHELF LIFE : Not mentioned


WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS : 


The mask sheet with Blueberry essence replenishes skin's moisture barrier to protect it's energy and vitality and help create baby soft skin. (Drenched with emulsified moisturizing serum/ Formula without added parabens).

DIRECTIONS FOR USE : 

1. Wash face and apply toner.

2. Pull out mask and carefully place on face. 


3. Remove after 10 to 15 minutes and pat face lightly to absorb remaining essence into skin.

This way the sheet mask is folded and drenched in serum inside the pack.

The sheet mask looks like this. This is a dry one as the wet one was bit difficult to get clicked 😒

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT : πŸ‘

  • It is very easy to carry and to apply as well. You just have to cut the pack, take out the sheet mask, unfold it and apply it on your face. 

  • The serum is sufficient in it. Apart from those fully absorbed in the mask, you can easily see the serum in the pack. So you can also apply it on your neck area.

  • The serum is neither too thick nor too runny in consistency which makes every season suitable for its application.

  • It smells very soothing with a light fragrance in it.

  • It makes your skin super soft and shinning. Though this effect lasts for only 2 days.

  • It evens out your skin texture and you will be able to feel it.

  • It does not contain parabens.

WHAT I DONT LIKE ABOUT IT πŸ‘Ž

  • It is written on the pack to keep it for 15 minutes but trust me, it does not work within this span of time. You need to keep it for 1 to 2 hours. That's why I prefer to use it at bedtime.

  • Once a while it's application does not bring much change to your skin. You need to apply it thrice a week.

  • It does not do anything for fairness purpose as we expect from serums but yes, it's a good boost for your skin.

  • The pack does not mention the skin types which is a must have for any beauty product. As such, it really becomes difficult to choose by yourself which will suit your skin and which will not.

MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐🌠

OVERALL VERDICT : Well, I was very excited to use this sheet mask but it does not stand true as I expected. I thought it must be something different than the other face masks as it contains serum.

I really appreciate the glow it brings to the skin and for that I love it and I would recommend you for this purpose. If your skin has lost that moisture and smoothness, you definitely should try this.

This Blueberry mask was good one and I think it is suitable for all skin types, mine is oily. It worked well on my oily skin means it does not lead to breakouts and pimples so yes, dry and normal skin beauties can try it out without hesitation.

If you like my post, don't forget to like and share it. For any queries, do comment in the comment section below. Do try this sheet mask and let me know your experience.
