With cultures being mixed now more than before, it comes as no surprise to see many fashion choices get adopted from other cultures. Arguably, one of the most interesting body decoration is the Bindi, which can be applied to various body parts, and its meaning can be different as well. It also has a significant cultural background, but, for most people, it looks nice and can become a part of their look. 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

The moment I made the transition from a sole beauty enthusiast to a complete wellness junkie was the moment I discovered luxury Ayurveda!

I was first introduced to the concept with the much pricey Forest Essentials brand some three to four years back. The sheer scope, variety, efficiency, and inherent goodness of the products hooked me to the wholesome experience.

Fast forward to now, I’m happy to announce that Luxury Ayurveda has come out with another promising yet not so pricey brand – Blue Nectar. 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

Online shopping after a stressful week is one of my favorite ways to unwind. I’d relax on my bed, grab a cup of coffee and cruise through my favorite shopping website (read Jabong) looking for any affordable fashion find I can get myself as a budget weekend treat.

Sure, I do love visiting the mall and local fashion boutiques for big brands and custom-made Indian ethnic kurtis, but some of my favorite summer fashion kurtis don’t reside at big stores or boutiques. And if they do, the prices aren’t lucrative. Continue reading

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