This is my first lipstick from Faces-Canada cosmetics, and when I saw the packaging, I was quite impressed. However, when I saw the bullet, I was a bit surprised seeing it all white in color (I mean white lipstick!). However, it didn't turn out what it looked like (Thank goodness, can't imagine wearing something white on my lips!), and is actually true to its name – “Barely there”. Its a translucent glossy lipstick.  Check out more details below: Price: INR 499 My experience with this lipstick: I have medium pigmented lips, which keep on changing color for no apparent reason - sometimes they look pink, sometimes white and sometimes even grey! I love to sport colors on my lips and for that matter even my lip balms are tinted. When I tried using this lipstick, I felt it more like a clear lip balm - just with a bit higher level of staying power on my lips. The lipstick is quite moisturizing and gives a soft glossy finish to my lips, which can work well w...

(Guest Post by Micheal John) An individual is born with a healthy and supple skin which protects the person from pathogenic attack or any damage to the inner organs. As we grow our skin comes in contact with the environment, faces the rough and tough weather changes, occasional wounds, and bruises and so on. This calls for infectious microbial action. Are we capable of keeping the skin as healthy and as supple as it was when we were just infants? Microbes are organisms that thrive under suitable conditions to produce toxins resulting in an infection. The infection may range from a simple body rash to a harmful disease in case the pathogens penetrate deep under the skin into the bloodstream. The question is how to keep our skin healthy enough so that our immune system becomes a strong barrier in the way of microbial attack. Probably, the use of an antimicrobial soap can prove to be an effective measure. Your preferences for body soap might be varied. Keeping heath foremo...

(Guest Post) As much as the western fashion sense might have taken over feministic fashion in India, every Indian woman would agree that the feeling of wearing graceful ethnic wear remains unparalleled. Right from gorgeous sarees with breathtaking embroidery to the ultra-chic and comfortable salwar-kameez, ethnic wear for women stands in a class of its own.   While the modern Indian woman definitely owns a well-fitted pair of jeans and the trendiest tops and dresses, yet she can never do away with a collection of ethnic wear. The vibrancy and panache of these outfits might be the reason why they remain a ubiquitous part of the Indian wardrobe. The trends that can be explored when it comes to traditional Indian outfits are endless. While a high-necked cotton salwar-kameez might offer that no-nonsense official look, a strapped one in a bright color can instantly make you go from drab to glam!   Talking of sarees, there is no denying that this nine-yard wonder is...
