Let’s hear it for the kids! I have to hand it to my mischievous princess and lazy lad for always keeping me on toes. Those two – I never know what to expect from them, especially my hyperactive electric toddler.

Like last night – last night I learned that my toddler loves to drink body lotion!

Who knew?

A couple of months back I was invited by Marico’s to try one of their popular hair products – Hair & Care non sticky hair oil – and avail a free stylist hair cut from one of the renowned chain salons in India as part of the offer. Exciting, isn’t it? Well, I felt the same and grabbed the offer. A while later, it occurred to me that I am in the process of growing my hair and a hair cut would be the last thing on my beauty service list! Holy Cow! But then, what are BFFs for? So I called up my BFF, Manisha Arora (also R2B’s social media manger) and she happily agreed to take the hair cut.

Before I head on to the hair oil review, here’s a bit about the free hair cut offer: Continue reading

If you ask me about the last skincare product I finished all the way down to the last drop – it has to be this lovely little bottle of Just Herbs Rejuvenating Beauty Elixir Facial Serum.

I first received this luxurious facial serum in one of my 2015 Fab bags and fell in love. This is my second bottle from the brand and I’d been using it in the mornings off and on for about a year alternating it with Aviance moisture serum lately.

I finished my bottle of Just Herbs rejuvenating serum a couple of weeks ago and I think my skin is missing it now. Anyhow girls, read review to know the details of this product: Continue reading

Girls, who read my blog regularly, know I’m a die-hard sun-lover (read, Sun-screen lover!) and a great fan of Kaya Skin Clinic products. Indeed their prices are steep and claims are high but they are also one of the few skincare lines in India that keep up to their promises.

So picking up Kaya Sunscreen with SPF 15 for my daily use came as a natural choice to me. Even if I’m not going outdoors, I prefer to slather myself with a light SPF 15 lotion as part of my daily morning skincare ritual.

And being a sunscreen addict, I’ve tried several sunscreen lotions with SPF 15 for my daily use. Some are either too matte to absorb well or some are too sticky for my oily skin. However, after using Kaya sunscreen consistently for two months, I’m happy to state that it has overcome both these issues with its quick-absorbing, light-weight formula.

Here’s my full take on Kaya daily use sunscreen with SPF 15 and the reasons why I have found it to be the best sunscreen for oily skin in India: Continue reading

Thank-God-It’s-Friday – I’m really feeling the need for some end-of-the-week beauty catharsis.

As I sit typing this sentence, I notice that my heels are scalier than the skin of an alligator! Hell no – I missed several of my important beauty rituals this week. And pedicure being the most significant of them all.

While, it shouldn’t be much of an issue but being genetically predisposed to dry skin, I sometimes get it worse than other girls. And if you too fall into that category, you probably need all the moisturizing help you can get.

Thank God to all the amazing foot creams, you don’t always have to rely on a pedicure to get sandal ready feet. Of course, no foot cream can give you photogenic tootsies in an hour – that’s where the power of a pedicure lies. But at least a good heel repair cream or foot cream can give you presentable heels in a couple of day’s time.

So I reached for the tube of Himalaya foot care cream, lying virgin on my bathroom shelf from last few weeks (as if only waiting for this *big day*to prove its appeal for my moisture hungry feet) with high hopes.

But did Himalaya foot cream really passed the test and fulfilled my hopes of turning around my jagged heels into acceptable tootsies? Read full review to discover. Continue reading
