Himalaya Herbals Nourishing Skin Cream

Winters are finally here and for girls with extremely dry skin that is never a welcoming news. I wanted to be prepared for the winters. I was looking for a cream that came in a large packaging preferably a tub or a jar with SPF 30 or higher. Well I couldn't get the SPF part but at least I got a big jar of moisturizer.

It comes in a plastic tub pack with a green cap. It was sealed with a foil. The packaging is really basic stuff. Nothing fancy going on here! Mine is 150ml tub with 33% extra so 200ml.
                

                      
This cream is meant for the whole body so feel free to moisturize your arms and legs.
The cream is not runny at all and has a thick consistency. It is very absorbent. I love the non-greasy formula. It does not sit heavily on the skin. It absorbs fairly quickly making it an ideal moisturizer.
The all day moisturizer claim did not work for me since my skin gets very dry in winters. I re apply the cream after 6-8 hours.

I does not give out a strong odour. It has a soft smell to it if you observe closely.

Its main ingredients are Aloe Vera, Winter Cherry and Indian Kino Tree."
                   

Some people may dislike the jar packaging but I like it. It makes it travel friendly.

I can't speak for the oily skinned girls but for girls with dry skin it works good. It hasn't caused any breakouts so far.

I wish they would do something about the SPF part :(

Price & Availability:  It can be found at most general and cosmetic stores. Its also available online at Beauty Arena for Rs 240.

Final Verdict: You get a great amount of product for the price and it works really well in winters specially if you have dry skin.

October Haul

Hey
      Eid is right around the corner so everyone I know has been roaming around malls to get the last bit of item on their shopping lists. I am not much of a shopper. Walking around bazaars in the unbearable Punjab heat takes a toll on me so I prefer to make my shopping quick. I don't like to window shop, I go in I buy what I like and that's it. No surfing and bargaining for me.
                       

                     

Here's what I bought in the last two weeks.

First up were the shoes. Like I have mentioned before I love heels and I absolutely love sky high heels. Most of my shoe wardrobe is taken up by heels so I was low on my flats. I wanted to get something for casual use.
I really liked a floral pair at Breakout but they had this weird problem the left shoe was smaller than the right one though both had the same size number printed on them so with a heavy heart I let them go. I got three pairs from Stylo shoes instead.

                      

I got these Palazzos from Limelight. I wanted a safari print and that's exactly what I got. I am not a big fan of the fabric really but I liked the cut and the print.
                     

I got this studded clutch from Limelight as well. This blue color is so in vogue these days. I see it popping up on so many runways local and international.
                     

Next up were my clothes but they will be featured in my eid posts real soon.


My next stop was a cosmetics store. I was looking for Maybelline Vivids Collection but didn't find it anywhere. Instead I found these two lip colors for one eighth of the price. Lol thats the best part.

                   

I got these skin care items as well.
                       

PS I doubt this is really Garnier because when I scanned the barcode from my phone it said St. Ives Apricot Scrub lol :)And this hand sanitizer from Dettol. Yay its pink.

                    

I got these when I was out buying presents for my friends so this was just a random purchase.



                 

Tell me what shopping have you done lately :)
