Color Your Hair in Natural Way With Radico ColorMe Organic

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in this post, actually my baby was too ill and I was so worried about her health. I couldn't explain what I was going through in last few days. It was difficult time which is not there anymore.

Motherhood is tiring and most beautiful job. I have noticed that many things are changing post pregnancy(yes it's quite a long time now, but changes are still there) due to change in hormones. From free long hours to sleepless nights, oily skin to somewhat combination type, carefree lover to doting mother and yes how can I forget from curly brown hair to chemically straight hair to wavy hair with grey highlights. This is what actually was bothering me more than other changes which I have accepted so gracefully. Greying of hair is quite common among people from every age group. Some people notice grey hair at very young while on other hand some people couldn't have a single grey hair at mature age but reasons may vary from usage of chemical products to the change in hormones. In my case I think both reasons are equally responsible, I strictly don't want to cover my grey hair with any chemical product, instead of I was looking for more natural and healthy option to color my hair from a long time. And thanks to google, you can find out  from anything to everything there. I got to know about this ORGANIC CHEMICAL FREE HAIR COLOR range.

I choose dark brown and soft black.

It doesn't have synthetic chemicals in it, nourishing and soothing properties of manjistha and fenugreek promotes healthy hair growth. Safe, organic and eco certified.

    Packaging-  It comes in a green color cardboard box with all the necessary information on it. Along with heena, you will find an applicator, plastic gloves, cap and leaflet too. You will get all the things in whole kit. The applicator brush is too small and made with  hard plastic bristles which made it little difficult to apply, I prefer my full size applicator brush in comparison.

    Pro's

    1. Made with 100% natural and organic ingredients.
    2. Eco certified
    3. Has goodness of heena, amla, bhringraj, indigo, meethi, hibiscus and manjistha.

    5. This 100gm pack lasts upto 4-5 usage easily.
    6. This kit has gloves, cap and applicator included too.
    7. Available in wide range of colors.

    Con's

    1. Need to keep it for longer period of time for visible results (time consuming).
    2. Several applications are required to get the color properly.
    3. Little high on price but I am ready to pay this price if my hair is getting natural color with nourishment too.


    Overall View
    Natural and safe option to color your hair without involving any chemicals. Definitely a better option what is available in this range in the market. 
    Highly Recommended.

    Iraya's Miraculous Elixir Oil - Kumkumadi Facial Oil

    Hi girls,

    Hope all are you doing well, this post is going to be about Kumkumadi Oil by Iraya Wellness. Iraya has divided it's complete product range into four - Spa, Botanicals, Ayurveda and Bath. (For more info click here) Let me give you a brief introduction first, if you don't know much about Kumkumadi Facial Oil. Basically Kumkumadi Oil is type of facial oil which is made up of saffron and other precious herbs which helps in even out skin tone, works as anti aging, reduces fine lines and to keep skin naturally glowing.


    I have never used any kind of facial oil in the past and I am also too sceptical about using something on face. And using something like facial oil is quite scary, but everyone in the beauty world is going ga-ga about Kumkumadi Oil, so finally I decided to give it a try.

    What attracts my attention-  It is made up of natural ingredients which made me feel little comfortable to use this.

    Price - MRP 995  INR
    Size/Weight - 10 ml
    Best Before -

    Availability - You can order it from here or any of their offline stores.
    About product - Iraya

    Ingredients - Cow's Milk, Sesame Oil(Sesamum Indicum), Rice Bran Oil(Oryza Sativa), Rose Water(Rosa Centifolia), Saffron(Crocus Sativus), Sandalwood(Santalum Album), Lodh Tree Bark(Symplocos Racemosa), Red Sanders Wood(Pterocarpus Santalinus), Coomb Teak(Adina Cordifolia), Vetiver(Vetiveria Zizanoides),  Manjishta(Rubia Cordifolia), Liquorice(Glycyrrhiza Glabra), Lotus seed(Nelumbo Nucifera), Turmeric(Curcuma Longa), Indian Barberry (Berberis Aristata), Cobra Saffron (Mesua Ferrea), Flame Of The Forest (Butea Menosperma),Priyangu (Callicarpa Macrophylla), Banyan(Ficus Bengalensis), Mustard (Brassica Campestris),Ginger (Zingiber Zerumbet), Essential Oils of Bergamot and Lavender. (Refer The  the pic below.)


    Effect and Feel- This facial oil is golden yellow in color and it's light texture made it easy to apply and absorb. This is thin in consistency, it has fragrance similar to heena oil hehe😉.. I can't define it's fragrance much better than this. The aroma of the oil fades away within 5 mins of application. To cover the complete face and neck area, you need just 3-5 drops. I have a combination skin type in winters, but I find oil traces on face too in summers. My skin doesn't break out after using it in winters and summers too. After using it for more than 2 months, what actually I notice is my skin looks more healthier, it retains the natural glow which I lost post delivery. No whitening affect or brightening effect, but I like that dewy glow. Dark circles are still there, but I have noticed a slight change in its intensity.




    Packaging-  It comes in a navy blue color
    glass bottle with dropper too which helps in getting the right amount as per choice and keeps it away from wastage. Label has all the necessary information on it. All I can say is that the glass packaging with dropper depicts no wastage and keeps it totally hygienic.


    Pro's
    1. Gives you healthier and natural glowing skin.
    2. It has natural ingredients.
    3. No break out.
    4. Packaging has all the information and dropper helps in getting right amount to use.
    5. Lasts for more than 2 months.
    6. Dark circles are slightly faded now.
    7. Usually Kumkumadi Facial Oil comes in almost same or higher range, so I can't say this is pricey. The bottle lasts for more than 2months.

    Con's

    1. As it is a glass bottle(you need to handle it with care), it is not travel  friendly.
    2. Less offline availability.
    3. No whitening or brightening effect.
    4. Doesn't work as anti-wrinkle or on fine lines

    Overall View
    This is a good option if you are trying out facial oil for the first time. It is made up with 100% natural ingredients. And this oil absorbs quickly because of its thin consistency.
    Recommended.
