Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love this foundation from Maybelline fit me range, and this shade 230 - Natural buff almost feels like second skin on my skin and complexion. However, the way it stays put on my face is something I find slightly weird. I checked my shade online from reviews of various bloggers and got my perfect shade after reading the review on   corallista blog. I placed the order online on amazondotin and got it happily in my makeup kitty 😁 few months back. My joys held no bounds when I saw the way it so seamlessly blended into my skin and gave me an almost airbrushed finish, that too without the use of any primer. Total bliss 😇. However, after few hours of wearing it full on face, I saw that my face looked a lil darker. So, OMG 😱 it oxidizes after 3-4 hours of wearing....and bleh 😒 there goes my happiness down the drain. But, I loved the shade and the texture so decided to wear it like a concealer and not like a foundation. Somehow, it has...

No matter how sultry dance parties look in movies and music videos, and no matter how impeccable the dancing stars look in them, the reality is that if you aren't breathless and sweaty within half an hour of dancing, you aren't dancing at all. For me the most important party staples aren't the sexy shoes or the LBDs, but a good waterproof makeup and of course a long lasting perfume that can stand the heat. I am not a person to regularly go to the loo for touch ups. Once I am all dolled up, I like to focus on other stuffs rather than fussing about where my lipstick vanished or whether my mascara got smudged or not. I have been using L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza in shade 003 - Diamond Black since few months now, and what I loved about this liner is the non-fussy application and equally non-fussy removal. 😇 It is jet black, has very minute glitters that make my eyes sparkle and I love the effect. But, what got me interested was...

A few weeks back I was searching for a decent eye care product and really wanted to order StBotanica under eye cream , but since I live in a place that is even remote-er than the "kaala paani",  none of the online shopping websites had their delivery areas to my place especially for this cream. So, I had to hunt for the alternatives and landed on Aroma Treasures eye care kit. Somehow, I love the concept of kits. There is something so satisfying about seeing a cute load of stuffs in a kit and somehow gives the feeling that you are getting something extra, even though you are paying for it. I always search fot kits and combos while shopping online rather than the actual product e.g instead of searching for Maybelline lipstick, I would search for "Maybelline lipstick combo". Is it just me doing this weird thing? If you are also like this then comment "high-five" below. 😁😁 It gets me so excited to see so many products at slashed prices ( even th...

I ordered Pantene Oil Replacement hair cream from Nykaa few weeks back and have been using it since then. Though I haven't yet replaced my hair oil with this, however I do have to say that it has been quite a saviour for my hair, especially in current dry and cold climate. I usually use it after washing my hair; just partition my hair in half and use pea size product on each partition. I love the fruity fragrance it gives to my hair and the fact that it instantly gets absorbed without leaving any sort of oiliness or greasiness behind. Also, the product has decent consistency, hence easy to take out and apply. Often, in winters in my hurry to come out of shower as quickly as possible, I skip using conditioner after shampoo 😱😀, and this has worked well in giving instant boost and softness to my (usual dry and rough) hair. So, it gets full points on that. Often, I have used it on my dry hair and it works fine that way as well. On the downside, it has dimethicone ...

Monday blues can be serious thing, especially when the weather suddenly becomes cruel, cold and sort of depressing. I was feeling a bit under the weather today and that only made me to rise up and fight the blues. Ok! I might be exaggerating a bit, but I always felt that high heels and red lipstick do help a lot in feeling better. And, that's what I did. 😁. Check out the pics below: This has become my signature pose these days... 😎😊 Trying to stand tall... 😇😇 Outfit: Top: Cherry Dress Jeans: Lee Shoes: Bourne London

After spending almost half of my life in Himachal Pradesh , I do agree to the quote that "You can take a pahaadi out of the pahaad, but can't take the pahaad out of a pahaadi". I am not a native of Himachal Pradesh, but I do have certain level of affinity to lots of things that have become a part of my habit. And that includes a part of my attire as well. I can never get tired of Himachali woollen suits, kurtas, ponchos and mufflers.  Today was a bit colder than usual and I decided to wear this gorgeous grey woollen kurta and my usual muffler style. I took my black muffler and tied it around my head, covering my ears before stepping out. I have always wore it this way, no matter where I lived. The muffler was hand-knitted by my mom in 2008 and she gave it to me as a farewell gift when I was leaving to work in New York. It has been my favorite since then. Check out the video, pics and makeup details below. Outfit : Grey Woollen Kur...

   “I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.” And it would piss me off too..Yeah..so purple is my favourite color and I have no regrets causing a faux pas and go with complete purple outfit and shoes. The good thing was that I didn't go for purple lipstick, but instead used a dab of red lipstick. So, here is my outfit of the day. Check out the video and the piccys below.

Hello beautiful people, I got few products from Inveda in my Santasbox and its been few months since I've been using them.  I got Inveda Essential night cream, Inveda Papaya and Hibiscus Moisturizer and their Green tea makeup remover. The products worked quite well for me and I quite liked the fact that these are Paraben free. Below are my thoughts on each of these products: 1. Inveda Essential night cream (Buy here) :  I use this cream every night on my face and neck. I love the fact that despite this bein a thick cream, its not greasy or sticky at all. The cream gets absorbed instantly into my skin and works awesomely in giving me a baby soft skin next morning. Also, it has mild smell of rose water which is quite relaxing. The only issue is the packaging as it comes in a jar packaging, so you need to take care of keeping your fingers clean or use a spatula to scoop the product out. Rating: 4.8/5 2. Inveda Papaya and Hibiscus Moisturizer (Buy here) :...
