My Experience & My Say



Well its been one month since I have been regularly using this product day and night. Mine is combination skin and this formulation is completely non oily. Can’t say much about lightening and brightening claims, but it has certainly evened out my skin tone and has also dealt to some extent with the open pores issue.

Enhanced sun protection is another highlight of this product as it comes with not only SPF ( for UVB ) but also PA+++ which fights UVA rays that are cause of photo-aging and Triple "+" means greatest protection.

Ideally it should be worn under your daily moisturizer. Ones with dry skin certainly need moisturizer top on, even on combination skin I am using it with moisturizer, better still one can do a test beforehand, that which way it suits, alone or otherwise according to skin type, though results may vary from person to person.

Things which might bother

  1. This product contains parabens ( Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben ),  which hold no good reputation among the medical brigade ( reports are conflicting thou ).  These are widely used in cosmetics these days to increase shelf life.
  2. It is supposedly a Herbal Product, but close look at the ingredient list tells that it is majorly chemical based barring few constituents. This is big turn-off, Companies should provide what they claim instead of fooling consumer by playing such gimmicks. 
Overall, this product has certainly delivered to an extent in my case, no brightening or lightening effects thou but yes an evened out tone definitely, But I genuinely wish that the company stops using chemicals especially when they are shrieking in top of their voice that it is a herbal product.

Availability
  1. Easily available through retailers.
  2. Can be brought online from - http://www.emporiumonnet.com/beauty_health/lotus/white_glow/Lotus-Whiteglow-Skin-Whitening-Brightening-Micro-Emulsion-SPF-25.html 


My Ratings

I give it 3 out of 5.

Coffee – Pros and Cons

Long stretched working hours, unending tight to neck schedules, meetings, follow-ups, deadlines phew……… A cup of coffee is what sails a regular office goer through the hectic day!!   Well a cup of coffee was certainly fine but in reality it’s just not a cup of coffee but rather several cups of coffees in a day that we usually end up consuming. How good or bad this habit forming beverage can be for us?  How much is safe ? Let’s dig in a bit, to know more.   Coffee might have huge fan following due to immediate alertness it imparts but it doesn’t hold a very high reputation among many primarily due to high caffeine content .

End Of Mae by Angela Yuriko Smith - Book Review

End Of Mae is a paranormal fiction that comes from the desk of renowned writer Angela Yuriko Smith . Set in the backdrop of New Jersey,  End Of Mae is inspired by Jersey Devil sightings. It’s the story of a journalist who though likes her job but also wants to broaden her horizon and for that  she is relentlessly hunting for fodder that makes for an exciting story which could make big publication houses come to her …... but in her endeavors little did she know the ultimate story would be her own… and she’d be dying to tell it.  Mae is the protagonist of the story, one can’t help but sympathize with her for her sufferings and situations that she has led herself into and on the other the hand, the dark character Heylel is one unconventional villain, and at times is too tempting to hate, the feeling hangs in-between, changing loyalties as the story progresses... The story has a gripping plot and a creepy edge to it which won’t let you put it down before a full read.  Author’
