Though its time to take a detox from all the festivities, glitter and glamour, I am still in the momentum and couldn't stop myself in indulging a bit more. A part of that indulgence was to order these glitter nail lacquers from Sugar cosmetics. This was my first ever purchase from the brand and I am so glad I got these. The shades I ordered were named - "Show of sands" and "Bridal brown". True to their names, these nail lacquers are gorgeously pigmented and full of micro glitters that look absolutely breathtaking when light falls on them. " Show of sands " looks exactly like its name. Exquisitely soft nude sand shade with soft glitters. Show of sands - Sugar cosmetics Nail lacquer " Bridal brown " is a perfect party mate for your nails. It is a gorgeous dark brown shade with micro glitters. Bridal brown - Sugar cosmetics nail lacquer The bottles look cute. The applicator brush is thick and gives a smooth finish i...

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 ...

TRESemme split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner Review   Before starting with the review and my experience with TRESemme split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner, let me tell you a bit about my hair. I have a bit dry and slightly wavvy hair, that tend to become rougher in summers because of heat and humidity ( and tend to become roughest and toughest in winters because of cold and frizz!).  Anyways, probably you got the point that I am quite prone to getting split ends problem because of my hair type. I do make it a point to use my Crea clip to trim the ends of my hair every 2 months, to avoid split end growth. So, when I began using TRESemme split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner, I was quite curious to see how they fare on my hair. Did they work? Read on to know more:

Hi friends, Its been ages since I posted my OOTD on my blog. I guess the last OOTD was around 2 years back. The reason of my absence was of course the fact that I got pregnant and after my delivery, I had put on a lot of weight.

Anyways, today I'd like to show a gorgeous bag that I got from Sammydress.com. I got this bag just 2 days back from the website, and absolutely adored it. The quality and beauty this bag offers definitely makes it into my list of current favourites.
