Beauty Haul + Mini Review ft. The Body Shop, Ananda Spa, Batiste etc.

2016-05-27T23:03:00.002+05:30

I keep a list of products I want. These are the ones I’ve heard good reviews of but I’m waiting for them to go on sale so that I can buy them with lesser guilt. Believe it or not, some of them have been on my digital wishlist on every e-commerce website I stalk - because why should I miss out on a good deal, eh?

Review: Snackible - The Healthy Snacks Subscription Box

2016-05-24T11:00:00.000+05:30

You’re probably wondering why I’m talking about snacks instead of makeup on my blog today. Well, I was in search of some off-beat healthy snacks since I’ve started working out and that’s how I discovered Snackible. I haven’t seen many reviews on it so I decided to talk about it here.

Natural Remedies for Dry Damaged Hair - Apple Cider Vinegar

2016-05-22T13:00:00.000+05:30

Its not been long since I started using Apple Cider Vinegar on my hair. I started using it in March this year, and we’re nearing the end of May now. I have stated previously in posts such as My Hair Story tag about my hair problems. The bottom half of my hair is dry - damaged. Any chemical based product I used failed to cure it from being damaged. To top it off, I also started getting dandruff. My hair was pretty much the definition of damaged goods.

Favorite Summer Pastel Nail Polish Colors + Recommendations

2016-05-11T07:13:00.001+05:30

When it comes to switching makeup between seasons, playing up your manicures is the easiest place to start. For me though, pastel & bright nail polishes are my JAM. I literally wear them all year. So when summer rolls around, I have plenty of colors (& polishes) that I can recommend you to try out asap!

Review & Swatches: theBalm INSTAIN Long-Wearing Powder Blush in Argyle

2016-04-27T17:09:00.002+05:30

The foremost reason why I bought theBalm Instain blush is because it has gotten a lot of positive reviews for being a long wearing blush. The cute packaging was of course, secondary ;)

Three Great Organic Clay & Rice Based Face Masks for Summers

2016-04-22T09:00:00.000+05:30

I love using face masks and I think that every girl does! I have discovered so many great face masks over the years and I realized that of late, I’ve seen best results from natural face masks than chemical ones. Today I will be talking about three organic clay based face masks, which I think are great to detox your skin during summers!

Most Affordable Liquid Lipsticks in India- Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams Shades 15A,17A, 08 Review & Swatches

2016-04-20T10:00:00.000+05:30

For the whole of 2015 I wanted to get my paws on the Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams as they are dupes for the NYX SMLCs, but I didn’t know where to get them. I was wary of ordering them online (through Instagram) because they were overpriced there! Finally I got them, basically, they are available in every beauty shop in Mumbai & I was totally unaware of that.

The Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Review

2016-04-18T09:30:00.000+05:30

Almost everyone I know has had dandruff at some point. I felt that I was so lucky because I had never gotten it. Then I ran out of this good fortune last year, because I also got it :(

Under Eye Color Correction, Concealing & Highlight - Guide & Tutorial

2016-04-15T23:09:00.001+05:30

Hi everyone! Welcome to my 200^th blog post. As with each milestone post, I decided to write about something special in this one too. My 100^th blog post was about the Liebster award & the 150^th one was about My First Lipstick Purchase.

2016-04-13T23:19:00.001+05:30

If there’s one brand that keeps coming out with new collections that are super affordable, its Maybelline. Right after they launched the Fit Me! collection in India, we were rewarded with Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gradations (also known as Color Blur in US).

Makeup Revolution London Iconic-1 Redemption Palette // The Urban Decay Naked 1 Dupe

2016-04-11T23:13:00.002+05:30

The Makeup Revolution London Iconic 1 Redemption palette was on my wishlist for a long time because I assumed it would be the dupe of the famous Naked palette - the original one that started dozens of alternatives after its introduction. I had a hard time getting the Iconic 1 during sales because it always got sold out first. Then one day I got lucky & was able to grab it at half-off…score !

CURRENT MAKEUP FAVORITES [SUMMER EDITION]

2016-04-09T22:32:00.002+05:30

Summers in India are something different altogether. We are blessed with hot, tropical climate that can get pretty humid in coastal areas. This post isn't about my favorite makeup that will last if you're outside whole day in summer. Its simply about what I'm loving on a daily basis to work, in spite of the weather.

My Hair Story Tag

2016-04-07T21:41:00.002+05:30

Hello dear readers

Today I'm going to be doing a tag post, like the title suggests. No one has tagged me, but I have been battling so many hair issues simultaneously that I thought, what the hell, let me just put it all in one place so that I can use it as a reference for future posts. The only fun way I could think of doing that is this tag. I think its pretty cool and I was able to get out most of the information about my hair, just one thing though, TMI alert. I hope you won't be grossed out by some of the stuff you read !

MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick in Brick-O-La

2016-04-05T13:49:00.001+05:30

Confusion, thy name is Brick-O-La…Have you ever met a shade that you couldn’t put into any single color category? Described by MAC as a mid-tone berry, in my eyes, the color couldn’t be farther away from berry.

Review & Swatches: The Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation / Best Drugstore Foundation ?

2016-04-02T22:58:00.001+05:30

The Maybelline Fit Me range finally launched in India a few months ago. To the collective relief of all, it was priced pretty well and suited even the stringiest budgets. I wasn’t able to buy much from the collection because the concealer & blush shades were too light but fortunately, there were more shade options in the Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation range.

The Original Beauty Blender | Worth the Hype? | How To Use?

2016-03-30T23:25:00.000+05:30

The Beauty Blender sponge is the most talked about makeup tool. I would never have considered buying it, till I saw it on sale at Luxola & along with free shipping as well ! I’m glad I didn’t think twice before buying it because now Luxola is stopped shipping to India & there’s no other way for me to get the Beauty Blender for cheap

Sad moment aside, is the Beauty Blender Worth The Hype ?

For the everyday glow - Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer

2016-03-28T21:16:00.002+05:30

If you see my complaints on other bloggers’ blog posts, till date, there probably isn’t a product I’ve expressed more dissatisfaction against than the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer. The dissatisfaction was simply because the product took a long time to dispense, and that would frustrate me. However, when I finally got it to work quicker (thanks to Khushi’s tip on NotOnlyMakeup), I could see why everyone praises the Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer.

Review & Swatches ~ Lakmé Absolute Sculpt Hi-Definition Matte Lipstick in Mauve Fix

2016-03-21T15:08:00.001+05:30

Lakmé Absolute Sculpt Studio Hi-Definition Matte Lipsticks launched last year and because they were priced quite reasonable I immediately picked up a shade to try out. The collection doesn’t have a good variety of shades if you’re medium-dusky skin toned and are into nudes and rosy pinks. The only shade that I was drawn to was Mauve Fix.

Kryolan Lip N Cheek cream in Lily / Review, Ingredients, Swatches

2016-03-17T00:44:00.001+05:30

My love for Kryolan products has been well documented on my blog. Its natural to want to explore a brand more once its products work out well for you. And if the brand is not a heavily-priced one like Kryolan, there’s a lot of options to choose from. Last year I picked up this Lip & Cheek cream from Kryolan in the lovely shade ‘Lily’

Guide - Deep Cleaning Makeup Tools the Right Way // How to make your Beauty Blender spotless.

2016-03-11T09:00:00.000+05:30

One thing I’ve learnt from being a beauty addict is that its never to late to learn to do things the right way. I’ve messed up correctors, contour powders before, but continuously watching makeup tutorials has taught me how to do them right. In the same vein, I felt that I have been washing makeup brushes the wrong way. I always used Johnson & Johnsons Baby Shampoo to clean makeup brushes & sponges….

BRIGHT PINK LIPS ft. Revlon Vivacious Colorburst Lacquer Balm

2016-03-04T23:55:00.002+05:30

I have reviewed the shade Tease from the Revlon Lacquer balm range earlier and today I’m going to talk about another shade I have from the range. I love the shade Tease very much... Vivacious on the other hand wasn’t a love-at-first sight color...

Empties #3 - Body care products I used up in 2015-16 ft. Iraya, The Body Shop etc.

2016-03-03T01:22:00.000+05:30

I have wayyy too many empties guys, some these products have been sitting in my house since 2015. Instead of piling them all into post I decided to divide them in to sections – body care, skincare & makeup. So today I’ll be talking about the body products I managed to finish.

Everything you need to know about StrawberryNET orders- Shipping,Delivery,Customs Tax,Refund info

2016-02-29T00:54:00.001+05:30

Last year I placed an order with StrawberryNET, it was the first order I placed with them. I have heard about StrawberryNET since years but I always found the UI of the site very primitive and that made me think its some fake site. But last year I saw that they have really upgraded their site. So when there was a 10% off on makeup promotional offer, I decided to take the leap of faith and place an order for 2 makeup items that I had been coveting for a while. The good thing about StrawberryNET is that they have a couple of offers for newbies.

Nykaa Pastel Nail Enamels Hasta La Pista, Mint Meringue Review and Swatches

2016-02-26T22:47:00.002+05:30

Nykaa Nail Enamels or their nail polish collection launched in November last year (I think). The only reason why the collection caught my eye is because of the abundance of pastel shades. It really reflects how the brand understands women & what they want. When Maybelline Colorshow range released I was happy that it has so many shades at an affordable price, but my heart always longs for pastel colors. Therefore I picked out polishes from the Pastel range of Nykaa Nail Enamels.
