Avon Simply Pretty Colorbliss Lipstick claim to give you full color by giving your lips extra moisturizing care. Shade being reviewed : Amethyst Price: INR 199/- My experience with this lipstick: This lipstick was a gift from one of my mom's friend and that was how I got introduced to my first Avon lipstick. This particular lipstick from the brand is a gorgeous lilac-pink shade with luster finish , so if you are a fan of glossy finish lipsticks you'd definitely love it a lot. It is quite nice cool toned purplish pink color and looks amazing on my skintone. Personally, I feel it'd look good on all ladies with medium to fair skin tone . Since, weather is already showing the onset of spring season, this shade would give a particular fresh and "springy" look to your face. The lipstick feels quite light on wear and doesn't bleed at all, however the minute shimmer it has to bring the glossy finish may get left on your lips and around after a couple ...

2013 SPRING SUMMER CAMPAIGN FURLA AND LIGHT BETWEEN FASHION AND ART According to the Spring Summer 2013 Collection mood, the light is the source of inspiration for the new Spring Summer 2013 Advertising Campaign. A light that catches the essence of things and communicates emotions in a blend between fashion and art: in perfect harmony with the attitude of the brand. In this mood, the light is revealed in its most hidden form: in shades of shadows that give to the campaign an elegant, clean and delicate atmosphere. On the other hand, when the light meets the ocean and the nature, the shades become intense and thwarted, by developing the energy of colors in a luminous glow. The advertising campaign, as well as the Main Collection catalogue, have been  realized by the worldwide famous fashion photographer Giovanni Gastel, who through his lens was able to make tangible the complicity between Furla and all those women who identify themselves within contemporary and authent...

Hi everyone! :) It feels so good to finally feel slightly warm evenings and even warmer days now after the mighty chilly winters. I am quite enjoying the pleasant weather these days and hope you are also making the best out of it. Winters usually make any activity involving water in it, 100  times tougher to do even when I am using warm water every time. When it comes to washing my face, I tend to stay away from anything that has slippery stuffs like glycerin and that might take ages and thousand splashes of water to get properly rinsed off. This particular facewash from Lakme has been a life saver for me these winters. Check out more below: About Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening facewash Its gentle, deep cleansing action reveals skin that?s soft, bright and sparkling. For best results, top it up with the Day Cream or the Day Lotion for perfectly smooth, fair skin. Price: INR 90 for 50 grams My experience with this facewash As I mentioned above, for w...

These superbly light daytime moisturizers create an ideal environment for stressed skin. They offer protection from UV rays, free radicals and dryness, leaving the skin fresh, soft and hydrated. Forest Essentials Sunscreen Lotion Sandalwood & Aloe Vera   Price: Comes as a part of Forest essentials Ladies Essentials Kit worth INR 975/- Quantity: 50 ml My experience with this sunscreen lotion I got this sunscreen as a part of Ladies Essentials Kit. I've been using this sunscreen all winters till now and so far have quite liked it. Even though I don't know how much SPF it offers, it has so far prevented me from getting tanned while I spend my winter afternoons blissfully sitting outside on sunny days. The lotion has slightly thick consistency and is stark white in color. Though it blends well into invisible finish, too much of product may leave a bit of whitish cast behind. It smells heavenly of its ingredients, especially sandalwood, though sometimes it sm...
