VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review






For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon.
I thought to give this product a try, as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it!

 About the packaging and price

It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage. 

About the product and usage

The cream is green in color and has a slightly off scent, which was not expected from a massage cream. The product claims about intense hydration for skin and is recommended for normal to dry skin types. The texture of the cream is a bit sticky and thick. There is no spatula given for scooping out the cream which feels a little unhygienic and once the product is almost finished, it may be difficult to scoop out all the cream from the jar, just using your finger and may also result in product wastage. The usage of the product is easy, you need to apply the cream generously over your face and neck area and massage well with your finger tips for about 10 minutes. I sometimes, also splash little warm water in between the massage or else it starts feeling a bit sticky and heavy. 


My take on the product
I won't say I hated the product, but it could have been a lot better as it did not match my expectations of a massage cream. The texture is the most dissapointing factor, even if I ignore the plastic packaging and the green color of the cream 😝 I am a dry skin gal, if I found the product sticky and heavy, combination and oily skin beauties, stay miles afar from it. 


The product after usage has to be washed off, so some may not feel the heaviness clinging to your skin (including me). The product feels heavy only on application, so if you can deal with it then it is worth a try. Post massage the skin feels nice, glowy and supple. You can feel that freshness on you skin. The effect of the massage, however, does not stay long, it is ok to use it if you need freshness and glow for an hour or two.  I also think, that if there was a spatula or any other way of taking out the product, it would be better in terms of usage. 

 I have used this product a couple of times this month and I think for a short-term glow it has done its job, however, I am not sure of purchasing this product again. I am still to make it a part of my skincare regime, but I know that, there is going to be a 50-50 chance for that.

Above is an image of before and after the use of the product, you may notice on the right side the skin feels, a lot more fresh and glowy.

M.A.C Lipstick Review - M.A.C Matte Lipstick - Shade Diva

My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades. Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone. I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color. My First Impression: My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!"  My...

Things I Am Loving Lately...

Google Image Since, it is a month of love and things related to love, I thought why not throw in a post about things I've been loving lately... Well, I know the whole buzz about Valentines' Day and all the days preceding to it are not so much related about loving "things", so much as loving a person or people or even yourself. But, I am no expert on the subject to write anything lovey-dovey, so I will do what I think I know best, talk about things I have loved recently. Reading I won't classify myself to be a voracious reader or anything close to that, but every now and then, I enjoy a good book. Reading is a great way to realize how simple life can be, without all the complexities of the wifi and social media. I read a book by Sudha Murty - Wise And Otherwise, it was a good start to begin my reading game again, as it is a compilation of 51 short stories, mostly based on her experience and observations about day to day life. I am currently readin...
