BBlunt Back To Life Dry Shampoo Review

Hello my lovelies,

You know like most girls, I love the after hair wash feeling but I hate the mammoth task of a hair wash, which is more of a necessity for someone like me as I suffer from an oily scalp :( But then I heard of this miracle in a bottle known as a dry shampoo. While I have tried a few from various brands before, I was more than happy to try a new one (at least for me) from BBlunt called Back To Life Dry Shampoo. So without much ado, let's begin this review, shall we?

About The Product : 

Instant freshness is now a spray away. This dry shampoo (no water required) does a smooth job of absorbing excess grease and grime and revamps your hair in seconds. Don't leave home without it.

Directions :

Shake well before use. Hold can in an upright position, six inches away from the hair and spread evenly, close to the roots. Leave on for two minutes. Massage and brush thoroughly.

Packaging :

The dry shampoo comes in a silver spray can with a transparent cap which stays secured at all times, making it travel-friendly.

My Experience :

As I already mentioned earlier, I am cursed with an oily scalp, so I am someone who washes her hair every alternate day anyways. But now with the onset of summer and my daily workout, I've had to resort to washing my hair daily...which is not only time-consuming but also not very good for my precious tresses. So I thought of including BBlunt's Back To Life Dry Shampoo in my hair care routine. I tried it on the second day, after my hair wash, post a rigorous work out mind you, so the hair is as good as not washed for three days, if you know what I mean :p 

So I made a couple of sections in my hair and sprayed the dry shampoo. While it did leave a white residue, it soon disappeared with a little massaging. My hair felt dry, fresh and over all manageable to go another day without a hair wash. I am a sucker for good fragrance products but I wasn't very impressed with the fragrance of this one. The dry shampoo did not really add volume to my hair but it wasn't limp either. The effect lasted a good 5-6 hours for me, but I was out and about, could work for longer maybe if you stay indoors.  But honestly it was fine by me as I survived the day, feeling good without actually investing in a hair wash. I'm sure if a boy reads this, he will wonder what the big deal is but girls with long hair will totally understand :D

Pricing :

Price wise I think BBlunt Back To Life Dry Shampoo is decently priced.It is available in a 125 ml can for Rs. 550 as well as a smaller 30 ml can priced at Rs. 250. I tried the 30 ml one.

Pros :

- Fresh hair

- Makes hair manageable

- Does not weigh the hair down

- No hair fall

- Easily available online besides BBlunt salons

- Pocket-friendly

- Travel-friendly

Cons :

- Could have better fragrance

- Leaves a white residue for sometime on the hair.

Final Verdict : 

While nothing can be compared to the awesome feeling of a hair wash, BBlunt's Back To Life Dry Shampoo, I wouldn't really say is close enough but can definitely get you through the day :) It makes your hair look and feel fresh and I would definitely repurchase it considering it is a good product and totally value for money.

Pond's Silk Cream Review

Hello my lovelies,

How's the summer heat treating you all? We at FOMO for sure can't wait for the rains to bring in some cool breezy relief :)
Coming to today's post, it's our review of Pond's Silk Cream. Think Pond's and the first thing that comes to mind is 'Googly Woogly Woosh' :p Now before the jingle starts playing in your head as well, let's see if this cream does what it claims.

Claims :

- Light non-greasy formula

- Nourishing 24 hour moisture lock

- Contains silk extract

- Experience the latest nourishing treat from Pond's! 24 hr moisturisation + goodness of silk in a luxuriously light cream that moisturises from deep within to give you a soft & smooth skin like never before.

Packaging :

Pond's Silk Cream comes in cardboard box inside which is a simple white color tub containing the cream.

Texture and consistency : 

The cream is milky white in colour and has a rather soft texture. It is very light-weight hence glides on and gets absorbed into the skin very easily.

Fragrance :

Pond's Silk Cream has a pleasant ,signature Pond's fragrance though I found it to be a little too strong for my liking but the good thing is it subsides in sometime.

My Experience :

Honestly, I haven't used too many Pond's products in the past and more so I'm always skeptical about trying something new, specially on my face. But it was summer time and the emulsion I normally use for my face got discontinued :( so grudgingly I gave this product a try as the product claims seemed bang on for what I was looking for, a light cream to just provide adequate moisture during summers.

As mentioned earlier, the soft texture of the cream got absorbed into my skin rather easily and left my skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated. And honestly, I felt like touching my face again and again but that's not a very good habit, so should be avoided by you ladies as well :) I tested it on my hands first and then progressed to the face. A small pea-size amount worked for my entire face without making it look or feel greasy, nor did it break me out. Thank God! Adult acne is the last thing I'd want to deal with. 

Now coming to the cons, it has a long list of chemicals which I wish they'd go a bit easy on. Also the claim of 24 hour moisture lock, I'm not very sure of but since it's summers I didn't really need to keep re-applying the cream. And last but not the least, I've never been a big fan of tub packaging due to the hygiene factor. 

Pricing : 

Pond's Silk Cream is very reasonably priced. It comes in three pack sizes, 30 ml for Rs. 55, 55 ml for Rs. 99 and 100 ml. for Rs. 150. I tried the 30 ml pack size.

Pros :

- Travel friendly packaging.

- Three pack sizes

- Soft skin

- Glides on easily

- Doesn't grease the skin

- Works like a wonder for normal and dry skin

- Easily available

- Affordable

Cons :

- Contains a lot of chemicals

- Tub packaging

- Not suitable for oily skin

Final Verdict:

Pond's Silk Cream is a boon for normal and dry skinned ladies but not so much for oily skin people. You could probably try it only on the areas which usually feel dry and see if it works for you. It makes the skin extremely soft and hydrated without burning a hole in your pocket. Worth a try.

3.5 out of 5!
