Confession of A travel-hoo-lic ;))

Bruges,Belgium.....A Fairytale Town!!

2017-09-02T06:00:00.000-07:00

This is my first post from the recent trip to Europe.The fact that Im writing about Bruges obviously indicates how much I loved this small fairytale town.I wish it wasnt as crowded as it was,neverthless we really enjoyed our time exploring the fairy-tale medival town mostly by walk.Very scenic cobbled lanes ,canals and busy colorful market square is very enchanting and relaxing.Like i mentioned everyone pretty much knows Bruges which sometime is downside considering the crowd.We visited the place during summer,i fell in love with each & every corner of this small town.I hear that (obviously can imagine) the place is even more beautiful during fall/autumn.

Bruges is about 100Km from Brussels and takes 1.5 hours by train.You can do a day trip or if you wish can stay for more days and experience the transquility of the place even better.

Bruges is a small town ,every corner of the place is very beautiful that you automatically fall in love with the place.You can just walk for hours and would not get bored.There are tons and tons of canals which is extremely picturesqque.I felt like talking loads of pics everywhere(which I did)like no end to get satisfied :)

Canal boat tour is must do,the entry point near the market square is crowded and you would have to stand in the queue atleast for 30 to 45 mins.

We loved the colorful market square.Belfry,the medival bell tower is not to be missed. You can climb to the top of the bell tower and the view from there is very beautiful.We spent the entire day strolling around the canals ,market square ,going through the little lanes and fell in love with the place. If i get a chance i do not mind going back and would love to stay for more days.I highly recommend this highly overrated place to anybody and everybody who is visiting Belgium or Europe.

Now let me take you through Bruges through my photos .....

More posts coming soon from Belgium and Paris ...Stay tuned :)

Chidiyatapu ,Port Blair Andamans -Best SunSet View Ever !!

2016-06-26T01:47:00.001-07:00

Thanks to our awesome driver who we met in the airport when we landed in Port Blair.If not for him,we would have never visited this stunning place in Port Blair. If you want to see awesome Sunset in Andamans(in Port Blair )then visit to Chidiyatapu is must.Chidiyatapu is also called as "Birds Island"located on the tip of Southern Andaman & it is about 25 kms from Port Blair ,takes about 1 hour to reach the destination.The route which connects to Chidiyatapu is very scenic ,we really enjoyed the lush green scenic view on the way.The beach out here is untouched,so one can really spend hours of time together enjoying the scenic view and on the way back make sure to spot the scenic sunset which is spectacular for sure.Ideal place for those who love nature & clean beach.

Enjoy the endless clicks which I took in this place :))

Roads less travelled.....

The serenity speaks so many stories ....

Only nature can give you such unexpected happiness...

Time pass while waiting for the sun to go down....

Hope you enjoyed this post...Stay tuned for many more travel blog posts on Andamans!!

Crazy Antharagange Overnight Trek and Cave exploration

2016-05-10T06:01:00.000-07:00

Most of you know that once upon a time I used to trek a lot and then I took such a long break for almost 5-6 years for no reason.Few weeks back couple of colleagues from my office checked for a crazy night trek to Antharagange.Without even thinking for a second I said "Yes" and Im so glad I chose to be part of this fun,adventurous trek.Believe me it is one of the craziest fun activity I have done in a while.Group of 33 crazy folks ,two leaders (Sanath and Shanmuka) from Crazy Yatra team to lead & trail the trek, exploring the unknown,beautiful mother earth,new moon day,anxiety of leopard spotting & ghost stories made the night trek and cave exploration worth the fun.I would say each one of you out there must do this atleast once in life time.It energises you ,takes you close to the nature and it is totally fun.Believe me when i say that :)

We chose to do this fun activity with Crazy Yatra and because of this we enjoyed the experience even more.Crazy Yatra guys are professionals and very passionated with travel ,adventurous activities.BIG thank you to Sanath and Shanmukha for leading us and ensuring we had our best of time possible during this trek.We truly loved the experience and looking forward to be part of many more such fun trip with you guys in the future.Check their Facebook page :Crazy Yatra

Oh yes few people in our gang spotted leopard during the trek ...so so exciting :)

Beautiful Sunrise at Antaragange..

First break at CCD

Cave exploration begins....

Not posing ....really stuck in the narrow path :-P

Every journey need to end ....anticipation of another beautiful journey begins here .....

Hope you enjoyed my little post about this wonderful trek to Antharagange .More pending post coming soon here ,stay tuned!!

Marc Jacobs | Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentrate

2016-02-06T00:39:00.001-08:00

I was not at all over-reacting when I said in my last week's post that I met my perfect foundation. My love is real and the truth is that I have been reaching out to this new foundation from Marc Jacobs more and more in the past 1 month.More I use it more Im loving it.Already a Holy Grail base product,Period!!

Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation is an ultra light oil free foundation which gives 24 hours long lasting coverage as per the claim.I would not recommend anybody to wear foundation for full day and I have to mention that the staying power of the foundation is pretty impressive. It stays intact for whole day which is about 12-16 hours for me during office days.Many of the foundation melts at the end of the day ,there is only little fading away with Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation.

Available in 22 shades-I use the shade "Honey Deep" which is perfect shade match for my NC43 skin tone .It may look bit dark in the shade swatches online and I have concern on other shade swatches as well.So I highly recommend you to try in person before deciding which one would suit the best.

Packaging is luxurious!! .I love the heavy glass bottle which is of-course not going to be travel friendly.Another huge plus point about the packaging is unique dot applicator which is so easy to use and will ensure that you are not wasting lot of products.Love Love it and I hope all other foundation come this way.

Now the best part of the foundation is you just need two dots of the product and you can cover the whole face perfectly without leaving any imperfection.Impressive ,Impressive and double impressive.They are true to their claim of full coverage foundation yet skin like feeling.One piece of advice to all of you do not make a mistake of picking more products ,it may look bit cakey.If you like semi matte/matte foundation ,you would fall in love instantly with this one.I promise!!

They are insanely priced(55$) but i would have to say that it is one of the best foundation I have used.Or my expectation of perfect foundation is met through this-Light weight,Semi matte ,stays full day ,skin like feeling .Overall I do enjoy the luxurious foundation to the core and with the dot application you will not end up using lot of products which means the foundation will come for longer days (justifying the price ..hehe)

Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Coverage Foundation Concentrate gets 10/5 rating and totally must have!!!..LoLZ there you go(wink wink)

Happy Weekend Gals!!

January Favorites! 2016

2016-01-29T23:56:00.001-08:00

Last year I shopped a lot and posted few blogposts,hopefully this year it is other way round ;-).Im not promising but Im just hoping that way.Lets for now look at what I have been loving lately.These are definitely going to be my holy grail products and totally re-purchasable.

Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentrate :
I can not resist a good foundation and after seeing almost everybody raving about this foundation,I decided to give it a try in Dubai Mall.OMG..the moment SA tried it on me ,I did not care how much the foundation costed (because it did cost me a lot considering how expensive Dubai is for Make-up shopping).This is a great foundation and I do not have single dislike point -Full coverage ,looks like skin,skin looks very healthy,stays for full day.Now what more can you ask for?.My search for perfect foundation comes to an end(that does not mean new foundation buy will stop ;)).The review of the foundation will be up next week in the blog. Yay!!

Marc Jacobs The Face ||| Buffing Foundation Brush:
I have not used any other brush since the time I bought this, it is one of the best brush and I would highly recommend.

Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base(Golden Radiance):
Im a great fan of Burberry Beauty products.If I have to choose one product which is must have from the brand ,it will be Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base .This is a multi-tasking product which can be used like a primer ,highlighter or alone as base product.Totally a winner product!!

Origins Original Skin Re-texturizing Mask with Rose Clay :
I can not live without having Origins Out of Trouble Mask (read the review here) in my stash.Totally saves me from acne.Skin Re-texturizing Mask is relatively new mask from Origin and it is equally good.It is very difficult to find good masks in India ,I wish Origins was easily accessible out here. Sob Sob.

Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro (#502):
Love Love Love this one ,out of all the lipsticks I own this has to be the best lipstick and that means a lot considering how much I love lipsticks and numbers of lipsticks in my stash.(please do not ask how much ,I might feel guilty ).

Narciso Rodriquez For her :
I do not know how I did not try Narciso Rodriquez perfumes so far ,they are so "me" kind of perfume.I mean sexy ,sensual and feminine.Totally an addict to this perfume. More later ;)

So thats my favorites at the moment ,what are you lovely lately?.Please leave a comment below and lets chat!!

Bobbi Brown | Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner Cobalt Ink Review

2016-01-25T05:05:00.000-08:00

This award-winning long-wearing eyeliner offers the precision of liquid liner with the ease of a gel-based formula—all with 12 hours of waterproof and sweat- and humidity-resistant wear.

I can not live without wearing eye-liner ,there are only few lucky people have seen my bare "without-eye-liner face" which is quiet rare.I love trying different eye liners in the market."Best eye liner "/"Must have eye liner" would be the most common google searches in my browser history.Every post I have read has talked about gel eye-liners from Bobbi Brown and thats how I wanted it badly in my stash.

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner is one of the HG liner for sure.This gel liner is like magic in a little cute pot.Creamy texture of the liner makes it easier to apply thin or thick.Once you apply,it quickly drys and does not fade or comes off until you takes off. Im so impressed how it stays for very long time.Intensity of the color is another thing which I really love it for sure.If you can master the application,then you will love these gel liners.You need to practice a bit to get to perfection which Im sure you can and you will.

There are 12 shades in this range which includes both matte and shimmer shades.Bobbi Brown keep bringing limited shades often in the collection.Quiet frank with you ,shimmer shades are very beautiful and I want to buy at-least one shimmer shade someday for sure.For now lets talk about "Cobalt Ink" which is beautiful dark navy blue shade and anybody can carry the shade effortlessly.

See the swatch...

What is your favorite eye-liner?.Do you have any recommendation?

Abu dhabi|Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

2016-01-17T01:53:00.000-08:00

Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi which is a capital city of UAE and considered to be third largest mosque in the world after Mecca and Medina.Apart from being the third largest,the mosque has many unique elements.The carpet in the prayer hall is the largest single carpet in the world.The chandeliers inside the mosque is apparently made of millions of Swarovski crystals(there are 7 of them) and the largest chandelier inside the mosque is the third largest chandelier in the world. I have clear obsession towards chandeliers ,I seriously fell in love with the beautiful glittery chandeliers.The craftsman-ship of the mosque is awesome ,artistic & has modern touch.To be frank I felt bit of Taj Mahal in Sheik Zayed Mosque,not the same feeling but similar feeling(I hope you know what I mean).Mosque is really beautiful and one of the must places to visit in UAE.

There is a strict dress code for those who visit the mosque and all the tourists are required to follow this strictly.All women are required to wear Abaya and you have to cover your head with a scarf(they expect you to cover all the time). Men do not have any special dress code,however you can not wear anything where your body is shown like shorts. You can get Abaya in the mosque itself for no fee and you can return the same after the use.Mosque is a religious place and as per the muslim religion you can not show any intimate behaviours inside the mosque like holding each other or kissing even for taking photos or selfies.

How to get to Abu Dhabi from Dubai:

Abu Dhabi is 150 km from Dubai and it takes about 1.5 hours to get there by road.You can either hire a taxi or you can take buses which takes you to Abu Dhabi.We were 6 of us and taxi worked out to be cheaper affair for us(600 Dhs up and down).

When you are in Abu Dhabi you can explore Ferrari world ,Yas Island and Yas Mall. Abu Dhabi is not as busy or crowded as Dubai but the city has lot to offer in terms of shopping,restaurants,tourist place and many more things.

Most of these pics are taken through my Iphone 6 and Enjoy the pictures!!

MAC| Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation Review

2016-01-14T07:42:00.001-08:00

In India ,MAC is easiest available make-up brand we have and when you want to try some new foundation you will have to rely on MAC counters.Im a big fan of MAC Studiofix foundation which I have reviewed in the blog.Studio fix is not everybody's cup of tea .So many people feel it is heavy and can not be used daily.I do not agree to that fact ,I remember using it every single day.Studiofix foundation really gives me a perfect skin kind of feeling :).I get bored with the same foundation and I wanted to try different foundation from MAC which is not exactly like beloved Studiofix but something close to it.Thats how I ended up owning MAC Matchmaster foundation.

MAC Matchmaster foundation is light weight ,gives medium but buildable coverage without looking cakey.It has creamy texture which blends very well into the skin and provides natural semi matte coverage.I love how the natural skin like coverage and perfect for daily wear.This foundation is best suited for oily skin or combination skin and good for acne-prone skin. Quiet good shade range available and they are different from the typical MAC shade series (like NC series).I use no.6 shade for my medium skin tone which is my exact skin color. Packaging is exactly like MAC Studiofix foundation but this comes with pump(Thank god for that ,seriously). I can not think of anything to dislike in this foundation and definitely one of the good foundation for oily/combination skin and for those who love matte/semi matte formula.

In this picture,Im wearing MAC Matchmaster foundation and if you observe, it has not covered all of my imperfections but still giving that medium natural coverage look.
So its long weekend here in India.Yay!!!

2016-01-09T00:07:00.000-08:00

After an awesome yet roller coster 2015 I needed very good relaxing break and I spent my last week of 2015 in Dubai with my entire family.It was definitely a nice break, exploring Dubai and bit of shopping.More later on this in a separate post. One of the Dubai shopping is Adidas Stan Smith Shoes which I wanted to buy for so long but somehow I was not able to ,when I finally spotted the shoes in Abu Dhabi Yas Mall I just bought it without even thinking for a second .I cant think of wearing the shoes many more times & looking forward to styling the shoes with many many outfits!!

We are already deep into 2016 ,this year I just want to focus the year feeling good & fit internally & externally with the help of Yoga ,Meditation and surrounding with more positivity, positive people.That means no room for negative people in my life which was my 2015 focus as well and I felt more at peace by doing that way and I absolutely will not tolerant anything negative anymore.Period!! ...One life and I want to live the way I feel happy...

I hope all of you are having awesome weekend ,I still need to catch up on blog reading and hopefully I will be successful this week.For now ,enjoy this outfit which I wore for exploring Gold Souks & Spice Souks in Bur-Dubai :)

Clinique|Turnaround Revitalizing Treatment Oil Review

2016-01-05T05:49:00.000-08:00

First of all Happy New Year all of you.I feel guilty to be away from the blog for very long time.Im hope to be back to my blog routine starting with this first post for the year.Many beauty reviews ,make-up reviews ,fashion posts and travel story to be told here.Soon ..very soon.

Clinique Turnaround Revitalizing oil is a light weight oil which absorbs quickly .Because of this I prefer to apply this as day oil.Clinique recommends to use the oil twice a day ,I mostly use the oil day time and I switch between other oils and end up using every alternative day.Now that I have tried many oils in the market ,Im clear what to expect from face oil.I always prefer the oil which is multitasking ,that way Clinique turnaround oil is bit disappointing .It gives beautiful radiant face ,no doubt about it but I do not see any improvements beyond this in terms of texture or acne or plumping.
So if you have dull face with no other skin concerns and looking a bit of radiance on the face ,then this oil is for you.However if your concerns are like acne,hyper pigmentation I would not recommend because Clinique oil did nothing of that sort on my face.Then you never know it may work for you :),so try the sample before buying the full size.

I like the packaging ,very apt for traveling.Considering the results ,I may not purchase until and unless my face requires that extra glow and my laziness accepts me to put 2-3 face products on my face :)
Have you tried Clinique Turnaround Revitalizing Treatment Oil?

Chilling Like a Boss in Masaba Cone Print Top ;-))

2015-11-30T04:57:00.000-08:00

I had Chillax quick weekend get-away to Mysore and I thought I would show you all my outfit which I wore for the trip :-). On the other hand I watched Tamasha movie and I really liked the story,concept, story telling and acting by RK and Deepika.I know there are mixed reviews floating around but I felt the movie is closer to reality and I loved the way it has been portrayed.
Anddddd I cant believe it is already DECEMBER ...like seriously ;-))

Chilling like a BOSS ;-))

Lot of giggling ...hahaha

What I Wore:
Top :Masaba
Denim,Sandal :Zara
Watch:Guess
Ear Ring -Amrapali
Handbag:Fossil

Burberry |My Burberry Eau De Parfum Review

2015-11-27T05:15:00.000-08:00

I just want to start this post saying My Burberry is my current signature scent and I never thought this would become my favorite scent but to think about it I may repurchase this again. Few things which I absolutely love about the scent :
Packaging which is inspired by the Burberry trench coat design.Love the trench coat design cap and the knot around the bottle.
Burberry describe the fragrance as fragrance of London garden after the rain.Now I do not like rains but I love London,so this way this fragrance connects my love for London city..I know its cheesy;)
I love the scent which is special and unique.Scent can be described as warm floral sexy luxurious scent apt for cosy winter weather but still can survive for not so summer evenings.You can smell lot of roses in the fragrance which is real winner for Rose lover :).Some says it smells like London after rains which I personally cant comment.Staying power is outstanding ,it stays all day for about 10+hours.Many people asks me what Im wearing when I use this fragrance and lot of them ask if Im wearing Chanel :)
Rating :5/5.This is pure winner and so Burberry;).If you love warm floral scents or classic scents from Chanel then you must have this.

2015-11-21T04:03:00.000-08:00

Over-sized sweater and shirt is my all time perfect combination for winter. It looks so perfect and smart that these days it is my go-to combination for Bangalore weather which is gloomy and cloudy all the time.I wore this outfit in my recent trip to Ireland while exploring the most beautiful interior part of Ireland which is very scenic and beauty is beyond explanation.

What Im wearing :
Sweater,Denim :Zara
Shirt:Forever 21
Shoes :Vans
Handbags:Katespade

Lush Rose Jam Shower Gel Review

2015-11-19T06:20:00.002-08:00

So folks,I have never been so excited for a shower gel.I mean after all it is a shower gel,but OMG I tell you this is one of the awesomest-freaking-good shower gel.If possible I want to buy stocks for like my entire life.For a rose addict ,it is the perfect shower gel to have :)....This is what Lush says about this shower gel and Im actually pleading Lush so much to bring this back as their permanent collection ....Please Lush ,you can do it:)

It's back! It's back! It's back!

You begged and pleaded with us to bring Rose Jam back for Christmas - and it's here for a limited time! A decadent, rosy shower gel made with vanilla pod infusion, goji berry juice and nourishing argan oil, Rose Jam leaves your skin soft, hydrated and sweetly-scented. Lovers of our Rose Jam Bubbleroon and Ro's Argan Body Conditioner will recognize its gorgeous rose absolute and lemon fragrance. Lathering up with this shower gel is a truly indulgent way to wash!

This is a limited edition shower gel for Christmas and I saw the update everywhere in social media that I had to spot a Lush store in UK to buy this.When I came home I regreted not buying may be a back-up.I do not know how to explain but imagine yourself in a garden full of roses and that beautiful romantic scent which just makes you special ,thats how you feel when you use this shower gel.I know its one of the most raved product in my blog.But lets face it ,Im a rose addict ,Lush addict so obvious that I would love this shower gel.

Pai | Rosechip BioRegenerate Oil Review

2015-11-13T07:02:00.001-08:00

When it comes to face oil I swear by my all time favorite HG oil -Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate which in my opinion is perfectionist in a little bottle.So whenever I try a new face oil my expectation is to have same or better results like Kiehl's MRC.

Like most of the face oil in the market Pai oil comes in a little glass jar with dispenser for easy use.The oil is orange in color and consistent is little thick compare to Kiehl's oil.You will have to massage a bit more compare to Kiehl's one for the oil to soak into the skin.I also do not like the fragrance of the oil, it takes a while to get used to the smell. Its not bad but its not pleasant and soothing like Kiehl's MRC.haha I know Im a big fan of MRC ;)

Pail Rosechip BioRegenerate Oil is 100% natural product which is a big plus.Like all the natural products ,it takes a bit while to show results.So I would say don't give up and it takes at-least 2-3 weeks to actually show results and start working on the skin.

Now coming to the results,I give huge credit to Kiehl's MRC for transforming my skin in many ways.Be it acne free ,smooth,clearer skin or even the texture.It has improved everything about my skin.I have purchased the oil 4 times which talks a lot about it .
Pai on the other hand is great in vanishing the acnes on the skin, it does help in texture and smoothness.As per the claim,it helps in clearing the old marks or stretch lines which I haven't seen that much happening with my skin.If I would not have used Kiehl's oil and say I see Pai's oil independently then Pai Rosechip BioRegnerate is a very good face oil in the market .However it wouldn't replace my love for Kiehl's MRC for sure:)

Hope this review helped and I know Im bit biased to Kiehl's MRC ;)

What I wore for my trip to Central London

YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Babydoll Mascara Review

2015-10-27T00:52:00.000-07:00

What it is:
A unique mascara with a patented formula that provides defined volume, lash-by-lash separation, and up-to-24-hour wear.

What it does:
Baby Doll creates a full open-eye effect by lifting and separating lashes. The patented formula creates long-lasting volume and intense color that is evenly dispersed with no flakes, clumps, or smudges for up to 24 hours.

What else you need to know:
Reach every lash, including the baby ones for a full fringe effect. The brush has duo-length bristles that adapt to all lash types, separating, coating, and multiplying lashes for defined volume.

First of all who can say no to a beautiful pretty gold packaging ,it is totally drool-worthy.This is one of the most talked product in the beauty scene.When YSL was shutting shop in Bangalore ,they were selling their products on 30% discount .Thats how I ended up buying this cult product to my stash.

My HG mascara is Dior New Look Mascara which I repurchased recently and YSL baby doll is not going to replace my HG Dior mascara However I like YSL Baby Doll mascara. It lengthens the lashes, gives loads of volume & separates to an extent the lashes. Overall eye looks full & nice. I love the effect!!

I like the wand which is small & thin ,helps to reach the tiny lashes. Bristle reminds me of Benefits They're real mascara.

Rating :4.5/5 .It is sad that YSL is no longer in India ,so availability is an issue .Otherwise YSL Baby Doll Mascara is a decent luxury mascara in the market.

NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner- Via Veneto & Via Appia Review

2015-10-21T00:33:00.001-07:00

What it is:
A dramatic and intense 12-hour eyeliner.

What it does:
NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner takes liner to the next level. Designed with a retractable applicator and built-in sharpener, this liner has a rich, creamy color that glides on smoothly with a completely budge-proof finish. Its incomparable wear lasts for 12 hours without smearing or caking

I fall into this category called forever-eyeliner-addict and I may be able to live without any other make-up products but for me eyeliner is must.By now I have tried to buy most of cult eyeliner products in the market ,few are still remaining from the wish-list which I will buy soon.

I have two shades with me Via Veneto which is a pitch dark black shade & Via Appia which is a beautiful copper brown shade. I love Via Appia a lot becuase it is brown but beautfil brown shade.

Packaging of the eyeliner is the perfect eye-liner packaging to have. It comes with twisted mechanism and has tiny sharpener at the other end to sharpen the liner. I must say I hate the fact that the brand name & other details like shade name etc which is written over the liner eventually fades away which is not so good and looks bit cheap :)

Formula of the eyeliner is extremely nice too .It is long-wearing(stays for about 7-8 hours) ,smudge-free, smooth & has great color intensity. I do not have anything to complain about the eye-liner range.

Rating :4.5/5.Availability is an issue for sure in India ,otherwise I love Nars Larger than life LOng wear eyeliner ranges .

US Haul !!

2015-10-08T06:49:00.001-07:00

While writing this post ,I actually thought I bought less stuffs this time from US especially make-up but no complaints. I personally feel i have lots of make-up & beauty products ,I have been finding peace using what I have than accumulating more & more products.

Now let me show you what I got this time from US ,these are mainly shopped from Sephora,Nordstrom & Target. I have not included any fashion buy in this post ,because I actually bought tons of cloths and Im technically on shopping-ban for couple of months!!

Loads of Burberry-ness :
Burberry is my current favorite make-up brand ,I have few products and everything is so so good that Im falling in love with this brand more & more.

After successful experience with Origins Mask ,I have added 3rd one to my collection(Origins Original Skin) which is also equally good.Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia was an impulsive buy at the dutyshop in Dubai & nothing to complaint about the purchase ,it is perfect.I wanted to buy Dior Creme De Rose lip balm from many years now and finally Im glad it is in my stash .It is so so good ,potential to become HG lip balm!!

You know how much I loved Simple Cleansing Micellar Water that I had to repurchase it and I also bought the face wash from the brand.How I wish ,in India we had all these brands available ,they are so affordable and so good brand for sensitive skin. Pure Love !!

Burt's Bees is another favorite drugstore brand of mine mainly because they are natural brand and have got some awesome stuff.I will review these products soon :)

I also got Nyx Jumbo Pencil & EOS hand cream :)
Thats all I got from US and don't you think so its very little shopping ;)

Leave a comment below and let me know if you want me to review any of these products :)

Your Wings Already Exist,All you have to do is -FLY!!

2015-10-05T07:33:00.000-07:00

This outfit is my current state of mind.I believe all of us are born with wings but many of us do not choose to fly.We build so many constraints and barriers around us that we do not believe in ourself whether to fly or not.We are scared because we feel our wings are not capable of flying or what if I break my wings and so on and on....If you are reading this post and if you truly believe you can fly...I say just fly and its a beautiful scene out there & Im sure you will enjoy.

Coming to the outfit ,this beautiful Airo-plane print QuirkBox outfit is a gift from my sister for my birthday.I wanted to add little drama to the outfit ,thats why I paired it with waist-coat which is my absolute favorite.

What Im wearing:
Dress :QuirkBox
WaistCoat-Only
Bag-Guess
Watch-Fossil
Shoes-Toms
Sunglasses-Dolce&Gabbana

Jo Malone Peony & Blush Seude Cologne Review

2015-10-02T00:32:00.000-07:00

The essence of charm. Peonies in voluptuous bloom, exquisitely fragile. Flirtatious with the juicy bite of red apple and the opulence of jasmine, rose and gillyflower. Mingling with the sensuality of soft, blush suede. Luxurious and seductive.

Jo Malone London makes the best perfumes in the whole world .If you are a perfume lover like me then you must own one or two fragrances from the brand.They come in two sizes -30ml(65$) and 100ml(120$) & obviously not available in India but do not leave a chance to grab one of these whenever you travel outside of India.These perfumes from the brand calls luxury and they are so special which makes them so different and classy.They come in a cute simple packaging which may not be the reason you want to own the perfumes but the fragrance itself make you go gaga over these and wanting to have more from the brand. You can take my word for this!!

I sniffed lot of the fragrances when I first saw the counter in Bangkok and then settled for "Peony and Blush Seude" which has been talked about from many of the bloggers across the world. First I got so confused what to buy that I did not buy anything and then while coming back in the duty shop I could not resist but buy this. Peony and Blush Seude is one of the sexiest perfume I own and they are so feminine, elegant. Lot of people end up asking what I wear all the time and I love Love how the fragrance smells.Peony and Bluesh Suede is not over powering but a beautiful floral-fruity perfume.Peony smell is more evident.

Rating :5/5. I bought another variant of the perfume from the brand and I will review that soon too :)

Bobbi Brown Blush -Sand Pink Review

2015-10-01T07:39:00.001-07:00

What it is:
A silky-sheer powder blush that instantly gives cheeks a fresh, natural-looking pop of color.

What it does:
This award-winning silky formula glides on smoothly and offers a matte finish with long-lasting wear.

What else you need to know:
It comes in a sleek, flip-top compact that can be used individually or assembled into palettes (sold separately).

I went through a phase in life where I wanted to try everything from Bobbi Brown brand. According to me Bobbi Brown makes some of the best make-up products and BB will remain one of the favorite make-up brand for me.

In the past few months,I have collected many blushes from different brands and I had to add Bobbi Brown blush to the list mainly because of the love towards the brand. I picked "Sand Pink"shade because when I swatched the shade it looked quiet nice.To be frank ,in the pan it looks a bit scary pink shade but when you blend and apply on the cheeks ,it looks beautiful natural pink shade.

Packaging of the blush is simple square plastic packaging with no mirror in it. As you are aware Bobbi Brown has simple packaging ,no fancy thing at all. Some might feel the pinch of not having mirror in the packaging ,but Im cool with it.

Blush is extremely high pigmented ,I mean pigmentation of these blushes are insane. So make sure you pick little color otherwise you might look like clown.It blends very well and I blend it well using the blush brush. Staying power of the blush is pretty good(around 6-7 hours )

Rating :4.5/5 .One of the favorite blush in the market for me and I love how pigmented they are. I hate the price factor of bobbi brown in India :(:(.Other than this ,I do not have anything else to complain :)

I want to buy the famous,most raved shade -apricot very soon from the same range:)
