Tips to Take a Perfect Selfie When I was a kid, I was told that we live in a selfish world. However, now as I am all grown up, I see the world has become more " selfie " rather than selfish! Okay! that was a bad joke, but keeping the pun aside, today our social media is loaded with selfies of everyone (a person's picture taken by oneself!). With the aid of easy-to-use smartphones and digital cameras, we can see people featuring their selfies everywhere - home, work, on a joy ride, in aeroplane, bus, trains, cars, and even in kitchens and bathrooms. We love ourselves, don't we? And when it comes to putting our best foot (or face!) forward to the world, a selfie can definitely mean a lot. You want to look good, because you can't blame your photographer (which is you!) if your selfie turned out to be bad! It should be perfect! As a Beauty Blogger, I've been clicking selfies since past 5 years or so, and wanted to share a few tips with you on how to get a ...

Skin Care that Worked and Didn't Work on Winter Breakout Hi friends, First of all I’d like to wish you all a Very Happy and Amazing New Year . May this year brings loads of happiness, success and joy in your lives. I have been missing in action since a while, all thanks to my busy and hectic days. This post has been pending since 2 weeks and today I somehow got time and privilege to complete it and publish it on my blog, so here it goes. I have always enjoyed nice pimple-free skin, despite the fact that my skin is oily-combination. I never had any major acne problem, and my skin has always been pretty ok. However, I came to Bhuj Gujarat in October 2013 for getting my surgery -  Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy done, and I don’t know if it was because of the surgery, or change of weather; my skin faced its worst in the months of November and mid-December. I faced “crackling-dryness” and weird breakouts on my skin. I saw patchiness and white spots of dryness around my nose...

Ponds White Beauty BB+ Fairness Cream SPF 30 PA++ Hi friends, A while back I published a post here regarding the launch of Ponds White Beauty BB+ Fairness Cream with SPF 30 HERE . Its been 2 weeks since I am using this cream, and below goes the review: Price: INR 125 for 18 grams My experience with this cream: I quite liked the way this cream has worked for my skin so far. For one thing, the cream does work well for my complexion, and the second thing is that it does give a nice polished finish to my face without making it look cakey. However, you need to be careful with the quantity you use, as it does have a tendency to give a white cast to your face if you go a bit overboard. It has same soft floral and vanishing cream like fragrance that was there in Pond's White Beauty™ Visible Lightening Day Cream with GenWhite™ Formula that I reviewed HERE . This BB cream stays put for around 3-4 hours and does work well in giving a matte face. It feels quite light on my fac...

Hi friends, I shared with you the information about Pond's new launch - Pond’s white beauty™ Visible Lightening Day Cream SPF 20/ PA++ with GenWhite™ formula sometime back HERE I've been using this particular cream since past 10 days now, and below goes my experience regarding the same. Pond’s white beauty™ Visible Lightening Day Cream SPF 20/ PA++ with GenWhite™ formula   After researching with over 20,000 genes, the Pond’s Institute identified a specific gene that significantly affects melanin production. Through this discovery, our most effective skin lightening formulation containing the revolutionary GenWhite™ formula has been created. It adapts to your unique skin to successfully lighten and even-out your complexion and prevent discolorations at the source. What’s amazing about it is that the product works differently on each person. So, if there are areas on your skin that need extra help and contain more melanin, the formula concentrates on lig...

How many times do we talk about perfect match here on this beauty blog? Usually when I refer to "Perfect match" on a beauty blog like this, people usually think of the "perfect match" foundation or concealer! However, today we'd be talking about a different "Perfect match" here, and by that I mean your perfect match. No, not for your skin or your dress, but for your personality as a whole. Who do you think is your perfect match and what makes him so perfect for you? If I am ever asked this question, I can only think about certain habits and traits of my perfect match that I am absolutely crazy about, and also of some other not-so-certain flaws and imperfections (which make me equally crazy, in opposite way!), that make him completely perfect for me! :). Let me share a pic of ours here with you guys today! :D (May be the topic has made me too mushy! :P) Anyways, so on that note, here I am announcing that Ponds has come up with a " Perfect...

Ponds White Beauty Face wash I bought this particular face wash 2 weeks back while doing my regular grocery shopping. Since summers have come, and my oily-combination skin tends to become an oil factory because of the heat and humidity around, I was on a hunt to try a bit stronger face wash than the mild ones I have, to fight with oil better. I've been using this particular face wash daily since past two weeks now and I usually use this face wash to wash my face after I reach home from office.
