I have oily-combination skin and I usually love to use any mud pack that can cool my skin and give it a nice cleansed look along with a healthy glow, so when I came across this mud pack from Himalaya Herbals, I was more than happy to give it a try.

I usually love to apply nail lacquers, as it gives a nice boost of energy and happiness to see nicely manicured nails while working on my computer whole day. But, I have to confess I'd been a retard in applying nail lacquers effectively. I don't have usual patience to sit and spend 2-3 minutes carefully painting every nail and avoid any cuticle painting. Sometimes I do create a mess and because of all these problems I usually drop off applying simple nail lacquer too (Forget the nail art design). However, recently while getting my pedicure and manicure done at Jean Claude Beguine Salon, I learnt an interesting way to apply nail lacquers, which can possibly help a lot in avoiding painting my cuticles. I tried to practice the technique a couple of times myself and somehow succeeded in getting my nails painted easily, effectively and flawlessly. Below is the technique and steps: 1) Never overload your nail lacquer brush. Always make it a point to get rid of the excess. I'v...

I am a deodorant addict person and while doing this review, I was baffled to see that I've not reviewed even a single deodorant here on my blog; may be because I took all my deodorants for granted and never noticed their importance in my life. I think it’s high time I give them my due credit, and on that note here goes my review my current most-used deodorant Eva. About Eva Sweet- Musky Woody All Day Freshness Deodorant A musky woody fragrance that you'll fall in love with. Spray it on for all the right vibes. Skin friendly and alcohol free. Price: INR 99/- Quantity: 125 ml/75g Ingredients: My experience with this deodorant: I am usually not a floral person at all. I don't like floral fragrances much and my inclination is more towards musky-woody fragrances. I also like lemon-lime and citrusy fragrances a lot. No matter what fragrances I like, I've made it a point to never buy the same deodorant again till date. Now, coming to this deodorant, the fragran...

I am a hardcore reader. I love to read and I can read for hours and days if left alone with a stack of books. I also love to make my collection of certain books that I know I'd never get tired of reading. I have this habit of reading and re-reading same book again and again for years and strangely I never get bored of them. Most of my books are either biographies, action and thriller novels and a large section of them is on self-help and motivation. I have only one book on makeup and beauty till now and that is " Cosmo's Sexiest Beauty Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Looking Gorgeous ", which I reviewed sometime back here . I was re-reading this book again a couple of days back and that made me look for a couple more books completely on makeup and beauty, which I'd love to have in my collection. I was planning to have only 5 at the max, but as happens with me everytime I make a wishlist, the list got extended to 17!  I won’t bore you with all of them but I’d def...
