Every time I say I am coming back to blogging; for some reason I fall back in to a busy lifestyle and forget how much I enjoy this. Today's "come back" post is slightly different; its one filled with positivity and motivation that I have mustered up from the back of a dreadful couple of weeks and have finally seen a light at the end of the tunnel and although the battle has not been won yet, I

Wow! It has been over a year since I looked at my blog, let alone write a blog post but I am back again with a popular subject on my blog my Top 5 lipsticks and this time I am talking about Summer appropriate nude lipsticks. I say Summer appropriate nudes because with the amount of nude lipsticks I own every season will have its own Top 5 (that isn't a promise but I will certainly try)!

I don't often declare something holy grail in my kit and my personal makeup stash; especially a product I've only been using for just under a month. Alas here I am dubbing the Smashbox Primer Water officially Holy Grail and I assure for more reasons than just "it's a great primer" which by the way it is but more on that shortly.  Smashbox Cosmetics, if you don't know is pro makeup

Yes I know; I am rather late to this party because this product arrived on beauty shelves months ago, however I think there isn't really a right or wrong time to showcase this little treasure chest (case) of beauty. I am a complete Urban Decay addict; and their Naked collection is just a neutral girls dream come true and the actual Naked collection has grown vastly since the release of the

Yes OK I know Spring is here, but I am attempting to hold on to wearing a Purple lip as long as I can. Normally Autumn makes way for vampy/purple lipsticks and they tend to stick around right through the Winter; but I am one for breaking the norm and I shall have you know purple lip colours are more than welcome to make an appearance in Spring (well in my case they are)! That's not to say all

In an ideal world I would love to have my nails done every two weeks, painted and manicured at the salon up the road from me; but my nail lady is always so busy (she is a nail magician) so its difficult to get an appointment. For this reason, sometimes I have to give in to going to other salons to get my nails done and that is exactly what happened last week before my friends wedding. I went to a

At the age of 13 if someone told me I'd be wearing lipstick let alone pink lipstick I would have thought they were mad. Alas here I am writing a beauty blog and sharing with you my Top 5 Pink Lipsticks.  When you are searching for a pink lipstick it is very easy to get it very wrong; which undertone suits your skin tone and whether a sheer or opaque would be best. My first pink was a

It has come to my attention that a company I have previously mentioned in a blog post has had some rather disturbing controversy surrounding it. As it happens this has been highlighted further more in recent months and after researching a lot more into the company and its owner I have decided to cease any support or promotion for this company on my blog.  My intention when creating

Who doesn't love a bit of pampering; relaxing on a massage bed listening to tranquil music and getting your skin free from impurities and all of that done by someone else. We all love it, but lets face it we don't always have the time (or money) to go to a salon/beautician to do it for us so why not give yourself a little "at home" pampering. I use the Alpha-H range I had gotten a while

Anyone that knows me will know I am a total Lush addict; that combined with makeup I am sold! My first encounter with Lush's makeup range naturally had to be lipstick, if the lipstick impresses me then I am willing to try another product in the range. Whilst I am a sucker for lipsticks in general; liquid lipsticks are my favourite. I love the control and precision you can have with the

Ok so I have been away from blogging for far too long, and well this post was long overdue. A while back I did a Hit or Miss post on the Becca Radiant Skin Creamy Concealer which you can find here. When I purchased those concealers, I also got the Radiant Skin Satin Foundation in Tobacco and Cafe (medium-tan) and contrary to my views on the concealer; I was pleasantly surprised with the

So the amazing Charlotte Tilbury has released a new line of amazing-ness in the form of her Youth Boosting Lip System (Prep, Prime, Colour and K.I.S.S.I.N.G)...while I was gazing and admiring the collection knowing fully well I would not be purchasing it any time soon I was inspired to share my more affordable DIY "system" that I currently do; that is until I can afford to get my hands on CT's!

We all know it; especially the ones that have the super long locks. Washing our hair can be a chore; luckily hair experts advise not to wash out hair more than two/three times a week, but even then during the week its not always easy! I admit I have days when I just don't have the energy to wake up extra early to wash and dry my hair so I need something to help me out on those in-between days and

Yep you guessed it, I'm about to paint this post Red with my Top 5 Red lipsticks! Red Lipstick is THE one for me, it is just one of those colours that will look great on any one; there are a huge range of lipsticks available with undertones to compliment any skin tone so any one can rock a red lip and I guarantee it will make you feel beautiful, glamorous, sexy and sophisticated all rolled

The Becca Cosmetics brand has always caught my eye as I walked around a Space NK store or browsed their website. I had heard so much about their foundations from friends I was intrigued but was always holding out until I ran out of my current fave foundation (Illamasqua Skin Base <3) But alas I am a beauty addict and I love myself a bargain and when I saw some of the Becca products had gone

I am always striving to get my skin looking and feeling great what ever the weather! I have combination skin and am prone to a few breakouts now and then. For so long I was looking for something that would help keep those breakouts at bay and I found it. Introducing my Cult Skincare Product: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo [+] This is a treatment product to help unclog pores and helps with

If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen my photo of swatches (below) of the Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil a few weeks ago. I have six out of the ten shades available and my two favourites have to be "Keep it Classy" a mauve pink great for everyday wear and "Berry Much" the name says it all really; a perfect Autumn/Winter shade.

Hi!! First of all apologies for being away for so long. It's been a busy and interesting 2014 and I wasn't able to give the time I wanted to to my blog. But Happy New Year; it's 2015 and things are about to change! And as you can see I have had a re-vamp on my blog and a name change. If you know me you know that Ahalya Beauty just seemed more appropriate.  For those that follow me on

It is often said cheap is cheerful; and when it comes to makeup we all know when the next big thing hits the stores there is or soon will be a cheaper dupe. So we all know a while back Clinique released its infamous Chubby Stick Moisturising Lip Balm with a range of colours. However at £17 each us beauty addicts will always be on the look out for a dupe and we were not let down!! In fact

Ok so first of all I have to apologise for having disappeared from blogging for a while. I have had a ton of things going on from friends weddings to holidays and religious festivals that I just haven't had the opportunity to sit down and blog for a while.  But fear not...just because I wasn't blogging it doesn't mean I wasn't still keeping myself up to my ears in all things

Ok so I have some awesomely amazing people in my life...yup I am surrounded by amazingness- FACT!! Why do I say this...read on... So when I got home from a pretty miserable day at work with a sprained wrist; when the doorbell rang and the UPS man said "PINDORIA"? I was like SURE!!! This wasn't for me I don't recall ordering anything but there in the box I saw my name...then my eyes fell on the

I am about to embark on a new skin regime and I thought I would share this with you all!!! For most of my life I haven't really had great skin, either because I wasn't using the right products or hormonal changes...just the standard problems most people face with their skin. I had very mild acne when I was younger and as I grew older I started understanding that I had to use products that were

We have all heard about them, they are loved by so many beauty/makeup gurus from the USA, and finally they are available in the UK!!  I couldn't wait to get my hands on these, and was twiddling my thumbs wondering when Maybelline would consider us worthy of getting some Baby Lips!

I wasn't sure exactly how to start this...but I guess sharing my makeup must haves is probably the best way. I have also posted pictures at the bottom of this page with the look I created using all the products mentioned.  I have many must haves (as you do) but if I think about what I couldn't live without as my daily go to products it would have to be the following:  (on the back
