A Day At The Red Door Spa || New York

2014-09-08T03:25:00.000-07:00

A trip to New York is never complete without a visit to The Red Door Spas by Elizabeth Arden. This was my second visit and this time I took you guys along !!! My fiancé Vaibhav also indulged in a little spa time for the first time in his life! I don't think either of us will ever forget this day coz we went to Central Park after the spa and thats where he popped the question!!!! :)

My spa session started with the Signature Red Door Facial which is the best thing you can do for your skin!!! My skin wasn't great coz I had been travelling a lot and shooting videos non-stop for you guys, so it just lapped up all the pampering. This is an elaborate facial with many steps and they use all these amazing Red Door Spa products to leave your skin as soft as a baby's bottom! You can watch lovely therapist working on my face in the video below. After my facial I went in for a 50 minute Signature Massage which is definitely by far one of the best massages I have had. They have these cozy heated massage beds that will make you relax as soon as you lie down. The therapist works on you part by part relaxing every muscle in your body!

Vaibhav's not someone who goes to a spa regularly or gets a relaxing massage so I was curious about how he felt post all this! His spa session included the Gentelmen's Facial & the 50 Minute Signature Massage and here's what he had to say, "The massage was just what I needed after walking all over New York for five days. The aromatherapy aspect to the massage was really refeshing. It was my first time at a spa and I will be going back very soon "

I also bought some of my favourite Elizabeth Arden products from the store above the spa. I got the Eight Hour Cream & the Ceramide Capsules !!!!

Thank you Red Door Spa's for spoiling me and pampering me on such a special day!!!

Here are some pictures and a video from my spa visit...

Shailesh Moolya, Creative Hair Director, Lakmé Salons, Little Shilpa & Sushma Khan, National Makeup & Skin Trainer, Lakmé Salons

Hello My Lovlies!!!

As promised I've got you loads of pictures and a video of the Lakme Salon "Show Stopping Hair" Show styled by Little Shilpa. Im gonna take you guys right from backstage to the front row!!!!

The show was definitely one of the best shows at Lakme Fashion Week this season, everything from the models to the choreography to the elaborate hairstyles was amazing. I would have to say my favourite sequence would have to be 'Illusion' which was inspired by the Northern Lights and choreographed beautifully with lasers .

The show also had the likes of super models Carol Gracias & Diandra Soares walking the ramp and adding to the glamour at fashion week. Shailesh Moolya, Creative Hair Director, Lakme Salons and Little Shilpa need to take a bow coz this was truly a one of a kind show that was a delight to watch.

Here are some images from backstage, the rehearsals & the main show. I have also shot a video for you guys!!! So enjoy the photos and the show!!!

Lets go backstage!!!

Getting ready for an afro!!!

Lakme Salon Presents The Show Stopping Hair Collection At Lakme Fashion Week 2014

2014-08-20T20:48:00.003-07:00

Hello Lovlies!!!

Lakme Fashion Week has begun!!! This fashion week there are a lot of new and different things to look forward to and I don’t just mean the new venue i.e. The Palladium Hotel. Usually fashion week is all about the clothes and how the makeup & hair compliment them, but not this time!!! Im super excited to tell you guys that Lakme salon is having a hair show at fashion week and the hair is the hero this time! Lakme salon presents 'Show Stopping Hair’ where you will see the biggest hair trends from the Indian Runways at Lakme Fashion Week Winter Festival 2014.

The collection aims to revolutionize hair fashion in India which Im totally for!!! A lot of people pick their outfit first and then style their hair around it but sometimes I think its more fun to do the opposite ;) The show has been conceptualised and crafted by Lakmé Salon experts with international hairstyle maestro Winnie Loo, and styled by designer Little Shilpa, it looks like its going to be one of the best shows this week.

The collection includes three dramatic themes:

‘Illusion’, inspired by the natural phenomenon of the ‘Northern Lights’, it is a playful fusion of colors.
‘Metamorphosis’ inspired by the complex art forms of postmodern Paris, it is the line of dual hairstyles and textures ranging from straight and curly, to short and long.
‘Moulin Rouge’, a modern take on the ‘classic elegant’ with bouffants and waves.

Here’s what Shailesh Moohya and Little Shilpa have to say about the show...

Shailesh Moolya, National Hair Trainer, Lakmé Salons states “Lakmé Salon have been the backstage experts at Lakmé Fashion Week since its inception, and through the ‘Show Stopping Hair’ collection, this expertise in hair styling will be the focus on the ramp. By introducing the latest looks and trends that are making waves internationally, we aim to create excitement on the Indian runway like never before. We have created styles that are avant-garde as well as conventional, keeping in mind women with various hair lengths, personalities, professions.”

Little Shilpa adds, “Lakmé Salon and I share a common belief that “Fashion goes beyond clothing”. I was delighted when I got the opportunity to style the ‘Show Stopping Hair’ collection for them as their vision of making Indian women runway ready, matches perfectly with my fashion style and statement.”

I can’t wait for 22nd of August!!! And don’t worry guys Im taking you all along ;) I am going to shoot a video and take you right from the pre show backstage madness to the front row of the show!!!

Huge NYC Beauty & Fashion Haul!!!

2014-08-09T23:55:00.000-07:00

I obviously bought a lot of stuff in NYC!!!! I thought it would be fun to split up the beauty and fashion items and do two hauls, one on my YouTube channel and one here. I have already posted the video and if you haven't watched it yet then take a look now!!!

My beauty haul is much smaller than the fashion one and I honestly haven't bought a lot. Coz you get most things in India now and honestly I don't need a lot of stuff at the moment. So heres what I got...

First up is my Maybelline concealer. This is the same one I buy in India but the shade I use has been out of stock for a while so I picked it up in NY!!! I bought this for around $6 I think.

This is a pouch for my eyeshadow brushes from H & M and it was for $ 5.95 !!!

I have been dying to get a foil manicure!!! I got this kit from Urban Outfitters on sale for just
$ 1.99 !!! And guess what it was priced at originally? $ 16 !!!!

I bought these last year from Bed, Bath & Beyond and I just had to go back and get more!!!
32 makeup sponges for less than $3 !!! Steal I say!!!

I have been wanting to try a new razor so I picked this one up. The razor was $12 I think but the blades were more expensive. I bought extra blades coz I haven't seen the embrace sensitive ones in India.

You all know how I love stains. This one is from Forever 21 and it was just $ 3.80!!!

Tear drop sponges and blenders have been on my shopping list for a while. This lovely mint one is
from Forever 21 for $ 3.80 which is not cheap but I really loved loved the colour.

This is definitely the best lip balm ever!!! It tastes yummy
and keeps your lips hydrated, this was for $ 3.50

I bought this electric blue nail paint from H & M for $ .
I just loved the colour!!!! This was for $ 3.95 :)

So guys thats all the stuff I bought from NYC!!! Let me know in the comments if you guys want me to review any of the products!!!

How To Deal With Unwanted Body Hair!!!

2014-05-23T01:25:00.000-07:00

Hello My Lovelies!!!
Unwanted body hair is not a very talked about subject in India. For some reason we feel like its a taboo to have facial and body hair or to discuss the existence of the same! Many Indian girls are not allowed to remove their body hair until they get married which I think is absurd!!! Removing unwanted hair from your body should be for yourself and your personal hygiene and not for any man!
Then there are all these hair removal myths, a razor will make your hair thick and bleaching will ruin your skin. Removing body hair is just like dealing with any of your other beauty issues, its a mix of trial & error and convenience!!! I have tried everything from full body lazor to hair removal cream and lets just say the results are always temporary.
For more information on how I cope with body hair and a step by step tutorial on how to bleach your face watch my video!!!

DIY Spiked Bum Bag / Fanny Pack

2014-04-28T22:19:00.000-07:00

Hi My Lovlies!!!

I was dying to own a nice spiked fanny pack a few months ago. So I started looking for one here in Bombay but I dint see a single waist bag at Forever 21, Zara, Accessorize and loads of other branded stores. After this I started looking online but I couldn't find anything that was less than $30 which I thought was a tad bit much for a waist bag. After this I gave up on the idea of owning a spiked beauty until one day when I spotted a parking attendant wearing a plain black fanny pack( the kind we wore in the 90's) and this made me yell, "DIY" with a massive smile!!! Obviously my boyfriend and all the people around the thought I had gone mad! Hehe but I still dint know where to find a plain black fanny pack.

On a recent trip to fashion street I spotted this black beauty & bought it for 100 bucks and voila!!!

Here's a video of the full DIY!!! Enjoy!!!

I shop a lot online and I have already bookmarked www.flipkart.com/women !!! Its really easy to use and I just love how the pages change automatically when you view a section.

So the box has 6 items - the colossal kajal, cheeky glow blush, the hyper curl volum express, color show nail polish, color sensational lip color and the hyper glossy liquid liner and is worth Rs 1250 but it retails for only Rs 1000!!!

I am buying all my girlfriends a box for Christmas. I think every girl loves receiving makeup especially when its Maybelline and when it comes in such a cute box. It really is the perfect Christmas present for every girl...

Thank you team Maybelline for playing Santa,
I love my InstaGlam Box !!! Merry Christmas to everyone!!! Go get your mom, sister, girlfriend or friend an InstaGlam box this festive season.

DIY- Clear Clutch

2013-12-17T21:04:00.002-08:00

Hello my lovelies !!!!
Sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately. My cousin got married last week and my sister is getting married next week so there is a lot of craziness in the Shroff household!

Clear clutches and accessories have been a big trend in 2013. But unfortunately plastic isn't cheap! You can't get a clear clutch for less that 25-30$ and thats a lot for a plastic bag! So I thought I'd make my own and guess what it looks super chic, its easy and it cost me less that 5$. :)

I bought the plastic from a wholesale vendor at Crawford market in Mumbai and the screw on spikes from a store near Cheap Jack on Hill road, Bandra.

How To Wear Statement Necklaces This Party Season

2013-12-07T03:38:00.000-08:00

Tis the time to party. Tis the time to get last years not so worn out dresses if you’re on a budget (as most of us are). No matter how often you’ve worn a dress, it can always look different if you accessorise it differently each time. And what better accessory than a statement necklace? This season Accessorize has designed a must have range of statement necklaces. A huge range of necklaces, that could be worn either solo or accessorized to the max. I have shown you how to pair the necklaces with your party (or run down party outfits) to create a fabulous, eye-catching look. So whether your style is bohemian or grunge,vintage or classic the following looks will inspire you all to dress your best for the party season.

Grunge - This look is edgy and fun. The look can be achieved by stacking necklaces and bracelets, and lots of spikes. In the look shown I have worn a chunky metal necklace (edgy enough) and added more drama to it by layering it with this stunning 3 tiered necklace (my favorite). I have added a 2 finger ring to it.

Also I have worn the spike bracelets as a bun holder in my hair.

Here I have teamed a basic black vest with a royal blue skirt from
Fashionalized. Buy it now

Classic - This is a very minimal look where I’ve paired classic red lips with this gorgeous statement necklace. This classic piece is a true investment, one that will never go out of style! It can even be paired with jeans and a fitted white shirt with heels. I’ve added a braided bun to give it more of a feminine touch. This is my go-to look when I’m in a dilemma. Classic. Simple. Sophisticated.

Metallic Bralet is from Forever 21 and my skirt is from
The Closet Label

Vintage – This is a classic look combined with old Hollywood style. This statement necklace, very vintage styled, is paired with a black and gold dress, this very old Hollywood hairstyle, the gorgeous drop earring and the ring all in a lovely rusted gold shade giving a very Great Gatsby feel. Jazz up any outfit with this one of a kind necklace and you can thank me later for the compliments you receive *wink wink*

The dress in this look is from FASHIONALIZED. Buy it now.

Bohemian – This one is the most fun look of all. Feminine yet quirky, this look is assured to make you stand out in a crowd. I’ve worn this gorgeous drop necklace to add funk to the plain black maxi dress. I’ve worn this silver headband, as a halo across my head. Have also stacked these fun bracelets on my hand. A sure shot look to grab eyeballs girls

Dress is from FASHIONALIZED . Order now on

So girls, this festive season no more complaining about having no clothes. Just pull out your old party dresses, and jazz them up with these awesome accessories from Accessorize India to shine brighter than the stars. It's all about the bling!

P.S.- If you love my hairstyles, they are all inspired by the party looks put together by Accessorize .

Lakme Absolute Salon - Review

2013-12-03T02:01:00.000-08:00

Hello my lovelies,

So I visited the Lakme Absolute Salon at Bandra to get a facial and I can't tell you how impressed I was. The Salon is very spacious and has a runway right in the middle so if you feel like a supermodel after your service you can strut your stuff too! The walls are full of beautiful black and white images shot backstage at Lakme Fashion Week.

My consultation started with a detailed skin analysis by their skin expert. Now this is great coz they actually use a camera to take pictures of your skin and then transfer them to the computer, after which their skin analysis software gives you a detailed description of the skin type and current condition. Then they will tailor make a facial which is best suited for your skin. So you don't just go in and get a regular facial you get exactly what your skin needs. :)

She told me my skin was oily but a bit dehydrated which was due to my hectic shooting schedule and a family wedding I'm guessing. So they recommended an Algae facial to hydrate my skin.

Their therapy rooms are nice and spacious and my therapist was amazing. The facial was so relaxing and after she was done she gave me a short neck and back massage which I am still blessing her for! The facial left my skin feeling as soft as a baby's bottom! I am definitely going back to the salon very soon. I was very impressed with the Lakme Absolute Salon and when you visit I'm sure you will be too!
