Two years back, on the eve of my 5^th wedding anniversary, I decided to bite the bullet and get bikini wax done. This was something I had been contemplating since the time I got married but could never gather the courage to do so. After all, it’s not easy to strip down and let another person stare at you, let alone rip hair painfully from the area. Continue reading

I always love the idea of makeup with skincare powers and for that matter BB creams have been around for years. My love affair with Blemish balms or BB creams as they are so called started, when Maybelline launched the very first BB cream in India – Maybelline Clear Glow Bright Benefit Cream in 2012.

There’s no turning back since then and while I keep experimenting with different makeup products and BB creams; there’s something about Maybelline clear glow bright benefit cream that I keep turning back to it, time and again. Want to know the reason why? Well, read full review to discover. Continue reading

It’s been almost five months now that I’ve been using Patanjali Kesh Kanti line of hair cleansers. My craze for Patanjali shampoos started, when I bought my first bottle of Patanjali Kesh Kanti Natural hair cleanser for brittle, falling hair without any expectation from the brand/shampoo to work, but was totally amazed with the results.

The shampoo worked on my dry, brittle hair and oily scalp better than any reputed drugstore shampoo or professional salon product. After that bottle got over, I got my second and third bottles of different variants from the same herbal brand. And quite frankly to say, I wasn’t disappointed with any of the variants.

Rise and shine girls!

Here’s to a wonderful Wednesday morning – *Raises cup of tea*

This morning I’d like to start with a quick look at Lotus Herbals Safe Sun Whitening+ Active Tan Prevention Crème SPF 50 PA +++. Since I had such a good experience with their UV Screen Matte Gel  SPF 50 and Daily Multi-Functional Sun Block SPF 70, which till date, remains my HG sunscreen, I was hoping for more of the same luck this time around with their recently launched Whitening+ Active Tan Prevention Crème SPF 50.

How was your weekend, girls?

Mine was, enlightening – learned a new lesson – that it’s not a good idea to watch horror movies late in the evening, just before going to bed. Last night was spent all awake, praying, with lights on, just to ensure the Demon from ‘The Conjuring 2’ does not suddenly resurface and starts haunting my home and life!

Anyways, watching a horror film in theater that too late in the night had long been on my list for ‘to do adventures for 2016’ and I’m feeling victorious to finally achieve it!

Another “Eureka” moment I experienced in 2016 is – I can wear moisturizer in the peak of summer on my super oily skin – lesson learned – sometimes, an oily complexion is due to dehydrated skin and all you need is an oil-free moisturizer that balances the skin’s natural levels to remedy greasy skin.

However, finding the best moisturizer for oily skin isn’t as easy. You have to kiss a thousand frogs before you finally find the perfect one suitable for your skin type and condition. And thankfully, I found my best match in – Aviance Hydra Balance Moisture Infused Advanced Serum – could that name be any longer? Continue reading

I’m a huge fan of skincare products, especially sunscreen and Vitamin C! Because I feel, if your skin is naturally polished, you need less of makeup and less time in getting ready. So I think it’s actually owning and working to maintain the quality of your skin to look beautiful and flawless without much effort.

And for that matter, a daily dose of vitamin C is essential to prevent and protect any damage or imperfection – and in the process take your skin to that next level of ‘wow’ factor, where you receive compliments like “Wow..you’ve got wonderful skin”!

So while, I’m always on the look-out for new Vitamin C products, last month I got a chance to try Super C Vitamin Strong Serum from IQ Natural Skincare. Learning, it contains 20% L- ascorbic acid along with vitamin E and Ferulic acid, I knew at once, this is the one – even if it crushes my bank! Continue reading

It’s no secret that I’m a beauty blogger who is also a mom.

Again it’s no secret, your world changes upside down once you become a mom.

When I quit my day job to be a full time blogger, I believed the morning struggle to get ready to work is going to end. But what I didn’t anticipate as a mom at the time was that the daily struggle is not going to end but just going to change! Continue reading
