Expert Review: Jooves Herbal Sindoor in Red

Post marriage every girl loves to wear sindoor, it is one makeup which has religious and a spiritual significance. Though I love my sindoor I cannot wear the powder form, so after my marriage I dabbled with many a variety from the iconic common dark maroon from Lakme to a glittery one from Faces but I at last found my HG sindoor in the herbal variety by Jooves.

Claims: This water resistant herbal sindoor developed using precious herbs, natural colors and is free from harmful ingredients as well as free from lead and mercury.

Packaging: The transparent plastic bottle comes packed in a cardboard box. On opening the transparent tube the wand of the sindoor resembles lip gloss and has a felt tip for application.

Price: 95 INR

Pros:
