I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t much into regular face masking, let alone taking time out for massage and salon facials. But now in my mid 30s with dull, winter-worn skin and multiple fine lines showing all over my face, I feel like I can’t say this enough – ladies, ladies, ladies…please take care of your skin early!

Because if you don’t, you might end up lamenting like me over the loss of your glow late in your 30s! Anyways, I’m not here to scare you or make you feel bad about something but rather take you into the glorious land of skincare, where you can’t help but feel good about your glowing skin.

This post is about a new facial kit that I’m currently using – Specifix Professional Butter Moist Kit by VLCC. So without wasting any more time in guilty admissions or far-fetched skincare dreams, I’d head straight to this day’s review: Continue reading

What….makeup in skincare?

Yes. When it comes to flawless looking skin, dermatologists at Kaya Skin Clinic say, you can have it all!

Kaya Skin Clinic’s CC+ Complexion Perfector Cream with SPF 25 is supposed to make most of your beauty dreams come true – from colour correcting to protecting your skin to brightening and evening out your skin tone over time. Continue reading

So I’ve been walking around the past few days looking and smelling like I spend my summer in Paris and winter in Florida (both untrue, of course!), and this is entirely because I’ve been using this luxe body oil from Clarins, of all things fancy and luxe! Continue reading

If my skin could talk, you would’ve heard, “Ahhmaazing…” in rapture the first time I tried Dr Sheth’s range of skincare products specially formulated for the Indian skin.

If you’re regular reader of my blog you know how knee deep I’m into skincare and how much I adore French skincare and Kaya skin clinic products simply because of their efficiency and effectiveness. I like products that are scientifically formulated and deliver on their promises.

Unfortunately, despite a flood of products and plethora of skincare brands in the market, there are very few, in fact only a handful, which actually come out fair on their claims. Continue reading

Do you ever get on a kick where you can’t stop listening to a song? Well, I’m feeling the same kick with my new Le Petit Marseillais body wash in Cherry Blossom scent. It’s hands down the best extra gentle formula I’ve ever used and I just can’t help raving about this product!

Why? Continue reading

This review was shamefully overdue! In the sense, I have had this DIY Carbon Coco teeth whitening kit with activated charcoal for a while but I just couldn’t get to use it. I know as much silly as it sounds but the truth is, after my wisdom teeth came in, my teeth started shifting.

My front teeth are uneven and few of them are a bit chipped and jagged and as a consequence I feel self-conscious about my smile sometimes! I know they don’t look that bad, but it’s a personal issue I have with my teeth – I hate giving them any TLC or attention. So I was kind of avoiding all the trouble!

But this is where the story goes interesting for me and probably amusing for you! Continue reading

Without a doubt, Clarins Beauty Flash Balm is one of the most coveted and talked about beauty products in the beauty world. The product that is specially formulated to cover and lift dull, tired skin is a cult classic from the brand. Living up to its claims and hype, Clarins beauty flash balm is one such beauty product that has clearly stood the test of time with an ever growing fan following.

You won’t believe, but it’s true – the balm that costs a whopping $48 for a 50 ml tube, sold on an average of one tube every seven minutes during the first half of last year alone! I first got to know about this product years ago in one of Lisa Elridge’s recommendations. But I happened to get my hands on this product only now – thanks to hubby, who picked it up from one of his trips to Paris. Continue reading

I’m a fiery fan of Vitamin C, especially topical vitamin C serum for my face and neck. I’ve gone through more bottles of vitamin C serum than glasses of orange juice over the years that I can count. No doubt, it’s one of the most recommended products you’ll find in my skincare arsenal. It works for all skin types and all skin conditions.

And at the beginning of this month, I have a new addition to these recommendations: Vya Naturals Vitamin C Serum – a 100% parabens and sulphate free serum containing 20% vitamin C to reduce uneven skin tone, dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Interested? Read full review to know more about the product. Continue reading

As a passionate skincare junkie, I have toyed with multiple face creams. I have spent years alternating between an intense moisturizer, a brightening treatment, and a retinol cream. But I’d never been able to treat my myriad skin concerns with just one product.

Until recently, when I tried this Eladi hydrating Ayurvedic face cream from Kama Ayurveda and it completely changed the game for me. This super nourishing Ayurvedic face cream does it all – from deep hydration to plumping fine lines to brightening dull complexion – I wake up feeling soothed and radiant! Continue reading
