Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses. I bought the shade 04 Glimmer: Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss Like usual glosses, it comes

Hello all beautiful girls! :) So, here I am back with another review of my Rimmel London Color show off lipstick , which I bought from Germany. I particularly chose to buy this typical bright shocking pink shade, coz I had all nude shades till then and I wanted to experiment with bright shades! Also, the bright color made me feel good while shopping in gloomy, cold and rainy weather of Germany. It was priced around 6 - 7 Euros at Muller. What the company says about the product:  "100% pure color intensity. Velvety-soft finish. Long-lasting." Rimmel London Colour Show Off Lipstick - Shocking Pink Here is the swatch

Being a software engineer, I usually spend around 8 hours in front of computer screen almost daily. Add to it, my regular internet browsing, blogging and other related stuffs. And thanks to my 6 hours sleep, I got these dark circles quite sometime back and have been desperately looking out for some solution to get rid of them. I know that there are plenty of anti-dark circles creams available in India, still my lethargy and laziness stopped me in going out to any store and using them. Moreover, I never trusted that any of these costly creams would ever get me rid of any dark circles, unless I get proper nutrition, sleep and care. So, when I went to Germany and found myself in front of all the plethora of brands available with all the time in my hand to go shopping, I thought of giving such products a try. Moreover, I loved to shop there coz  of less crowd. :) Can't imagine the same kind of shopping in Bangalore. Anyways, back to the point of healing under eye dark circ...

In my last trip to Germany, I happened to have a lot of free time in my hand, since the trip was for 3 weeks and I had nothing much to do after office hours, except for roaming around and going for shopping! One of my all time favorites is the Muller mall in Germany (Ulm), that offers some really amazing collection of perfumes, cosmetics and various other stuffs. Another excuse for me to stay there daily for 2-3 hours was the weather too, which was quite cold, rainy and windy! Apart from that my poor hold on German language made it really tough for me to buy stuffs in a jiffy. I had to explore and understand all the products in order to decide the best amongst all. I bought certain products of Garnier as well, so that I can stick to these stuffs in India too (whenever they get over). Otherwise, I love to experiment and I am glad that they all have gone so well! In next series of posts I am planning to post reviews of all my German beauty and cosmetic stuffs here.  So sta...
