Holi Special - Hair and Skin care tips Since Holi is around the corner in India, here are some Hair and Skin care tips for the festival of colours by Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson, Blossom Kochhar Beauty Products Pvt. Ltd. Image source SKIN CARE 1.      Apply mustard oil on face, neck, ears hands and legs a day before Holi. The colour can be removed from the skin easily by this. 2.      To keep your skin safe from colours, try wearing clothes which cover the whole of your body. This way, less part of your body will come in contact of the colours. 3.      Add a bowl of curd in two tablespoons of lime juice, and apply it on the areas having colour. Then take a bath with normal or lukewarm water. This way the colour will surely go off.

Ultime Pro Longwear Matte lipsticks are new launches by Faces cosmetics. They are launched in some 10 shades and I have tried this particular shade of lipstick  - Flirty Pink from the range 2-3 times. Here goes the review: Faces Ultime Pro Longwear Matte Lipstick Price: INR 599/- for 2.5 grams Shade being Reviewed: #06 - Flirty Pink My experience with this lipstick: I am a pink lover and this particular shade from the lipstick completely stole my heart for being that "perfect" pink. However, it is a bit of neonish pink shade. The lipstick comes in a sleek packaging with a sturdy cap and looks quite classy. It has a thin bullet which is quite long. The weird thing is that a bit of the bullet always stays up on the lipstick holder, so you need to be careful in closing the cap, otherwise you might spoil the lipstick and create a mess. Coming to the texture of the lipstick, it is quite smooth. The lipstick glides on my lips like a butter and gives an even, matte a...

Trips to Pingleshwar, Mandvi beaches and Godhra Hiya everyone, I have been missing in action since a very long time now, and I truly wanted to come back in action asap. Life had been pretty crazy for me since past few months with loads of changes coming in everyday. However, I've been enjoying each and every moment quite well, with all the little surprises (and sometimes shocks!) that have been coming all the time. I spent my last month at Bhuj, Gujarat where my parents are currently living and I absolutely fell in love with the place. With all traveling, house work and baby care, it was quite difficult for me to regularly post at my blog. Nevertheless, better late than never. Now, as things seem to be settling a bit, I can try to post here as regularly as possible. Moreover, there are loads of reviews pending to be done and I hope to publish them asap. My stay at Bhuj was quite pleasant, and the thing that I loved the most about the place was its cool weather. My tri...
