Beauty Diaries by Kimi

Hi friends, The saying that "Better late than never" holds so true in case of receiving your online orders. I placed my order for 3 months subscription of My Envy Box few weeks back and because of some glitch it took a bit longer for me to receive my December box.  Nevertheless, I got it yesterday, and was quite delighted to see the lovely ❄ snowflakes on the box.  All in all, my January 2018 has started on a good note, and finally being able to receive my box just made it a lot better. Below, check out the video of me unboxing it and all the products that I got. Subscribe to my vlogs here: http://bit.ly/2iY0qXQ Can't wait for my January 2018 box now, and I hope it doesn't take so long to come. Until next time, xoxo, Kimi

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...

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) :...

Hello everyone, Today I am sharing with you my winter skincare routine. Check out the video for all the details: Kronokare Aromatherapy City Detox Face wash ( Reviewed here ): No matter how cold it is, I always start my day by washing my face. These days I am using Kronokare City Detox face wash to help me feel squeaky clean. Its a bit tough to take the product out, for reasons still unknown to me, but once its out, the face wash is really gentle to my skin and works well in making me feel refreshed. Kronokare Aromatherapy Flower Power Skin toner ( Reviewed here ): I have been using Kronokare flower power toner to tone my skin. All I do, is take the cap off and spray it on my skin. It feels amazing and I let it get absorbed into my skin before moving onto moisturization. The Inveda Papaya and Hibiscus Moisturizer has been my fav these days. Its a bit runny in texture, but works wonderfully well in keeping my combination skin well moisturized. Aroma Treasures U...

Brown Spots on Skin There comes a time in the course of people's lives when they would like to know how to get rid of brown spots on skin. First, it is important to have these spots evaluated from your doctor. Typically, they don't signify any particular health problem, but are caused by overexposure to the sun's harsh rays and the inability of the skin to heal and repair itself. However, they've quite often been known to hide skin cancers and since that is usually an effect of overexposure to the sun, as well, one should understand why a medical consultation is advisable. Changes in skin coloration are a normal part of the aging process. But several people find brown spots on skin, also known as "liver spots" or "age spots", to be not much of a beauty mark on their skin. These brown spots on skin that generally appear over the time being are created by exposure to sun's ultra violet rays or chronic bruising of the the body. If you can a...

Za True White Day Cream - Review In summers, I generally look for a light weight day cream that has SPF in it, and that doesn't make my skin look oily or greasy in the hot and humid weather at my place. I have been using Za True White Day Cream from Za (pronounced as zee-ae ) since past 2 weeks now and below goes my review about the same: About the brand Za ZA from Shiseido India Pvt. Ltd. : ZA is a highly aspirational skincare and makeup brand present in Asian markets since 1997. “zee:ae” is designed for the modern working woman in her 20s who desires sophisticated metropolitan beauty.

Jacqueline Fernandez flaunted her super fit body wearing a Drashta Sarvaiya creation for a 'Body Shop' event. She has been recently signed as the brand ambasaador by the skin care and cosmetic brand. Jacqueline completed the crop top and skirt with open hair and off-white sandals. Though I absolutely loved her dress and shoes, her hair looked a bit too plain to me. What do you think about this look of hers?

A vintage look complete with dark red lips and soft curls, is an evergreen look and no matter how many times I see it on anyone - be it a celebrity or a friend, I always feel awed about it.
