Review: Makari De Suisse Whitening Exfoliating Soap in the cover of Clarifying exfoliating antiseptic soap

By
I've never been too fond of soaps that provide exfoliation, just because I simply can not make them work for me. It might be because of the way I apply a soap. I never apply soaps directly on my skin. I usually massage the soap well with my damp hands and then apply the lather over my body, and then rub loofah over it. For face also, I follow the same technique minus the loofah. So, when I came across this soap with exfoliating granules in it, I  wondered if it could work for me or not. To know that, check the review below!! :)

Important Update: Makari people did some mistake and sent me a "whitening exfoliating soap" in the cover of "Clarifying exfoliating soap". The one I've reviewed here is not an antiseptic soap. Thanks to Pooja for pointing this out. I don't know why Makari did this. I checked on Google and found out that the original Makari's clarifying exfoliating soap is a green colored soap. It costs around  INR 1089.00,  and you can check more details here.

Thats goat in the sheep's clothing - States its a clarifying exfoliating soap, whereas the soap inside is whitening exfoliating soap

 Now, I wonder if that is what is there in the soap!

????!!!???!!

My experience with this soap:

The first time I saw this soap, the micro granules kind of intrigued me and I expected some level of exfoliation from it. I tried using the soap for bathing first, as I didn't want to experiment anything on my face. The soap lathered well and had a nice sweet-floral fragrance. I couldn't feel any beads or granules on application the way I described above, and hence wondered what the granules were for.
I tried to use the soap directly on skin, and ouch...the granules pinched my skin badly, so I reverted back to my old way of using it. Seeing the normal and decent cleansing with non-drying results on my body, I washed my face and it did a decent job there too, but strangely gave a bit of initial stretchiness after the wash. 

Below are some pics:


And below are some likes and dislikes that I've felt with this soap:

Likes:

1) I like the sweet-floral fragrance of this soap, which makes using it a nice refreshing experience.

2) Since, I got the sample and it was a miniature version of the full sized product, I quite liked the benzene ring types hexagonal shape of the soap. The size made it quite easy for me to use it.

3) The soap lathers well and creates a rich foam. So if you are foam-loving person, you will like it.

4) The soap didn't dry my "usually dry" skin of the body. 

5) It didn't cause any allergic reactions to my skin.

Dislikes:

1) Even though the soap worked well with my dry skinned body, strangely when I used it on my face, it did cause initial stretchy feeling, because of which I stopped using it for face, but kept it on for body.

2) I couldn't make the exfoliating granules work for me.

3) Price might be a concern for some.

Overall verdict: I liked this soap for bathing purpose, for the rich lather it creates, for the rich sweet floral fragrance and for the fact that it doesn't make my skin dry or itchy. However, I won't recommend you use it to wash your face as even for my oily-combination facial skin, it proved to be a little drying.

Rating: 3/5

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

By
Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses.
