I bought this particular face wash while browsing through the face washes at Muller Mall in Germany. I bought this facewash mainly for my "hubby", for its "anti-pickel" (anti pimple) properties as his skin is quite acne prone. I also bought Aok's anti-pickel gel for him, which he gladly took. However, he refused to use the facewash, just because of its addiction to Medimix, so I ended up using it myself. And as the time went ahead, I think it was meant for me only, as a few months back my skin broke out very badly for reasons still unknown to me. It was the time when I'd changed a lot of things in my daily beauty regime, and one or two of those products might have reacted. So, in order to reduce the breakouts I began using this facewash daily twice, and I must admit that it worked really well in reducing the broke out. It however didn't do anything to already erupted pimples, acne and ugly marks. But, I was grateful that it at least stopped the onset o...

Hello friends, I've been MIA since quite a long time, all thanks to loads of stuffs that had kept me engrossed. But, now since all the things are falling back into places peacefully, I can manage to re-start sharing my reviews and makeup looks with you guys. As most of you guys might be aware of, I got married recently. It was a quiet affair than usual, but I still made it sure that I look good for photos..lol..Well, it was an emotional phase for me, and I think wedding is a time, every girl should look her best. So, below is a pic  of how I looked on my wedding day on a small dinner party we had, followed by a tutorial and a breakdown of all the products I used 1) The makeup look was done for the night light, and since I didn't want to look ghostly white in flash light- I chose to go for a foundation, that had low SPF.I recommend using a primer first before applying foundation, as it will allow even and smooth foundation application and also make your makeup last a lot ...

I got this particular mascara with my Estee Lauder Cosmetic Beauty Defining 5 pc Travel kit , which I ordered from Amazon. Out of all the five products I got, this mascara was the only one that had the quantity of sample size(3.5 ml) instead of regular travel sized (7 ml) one, but that is just a little less than the full sized product quantity, so can't complain on that!  I've used it four times till date, and have really liked the effects it gave. As, it was just the sample size, I thought of reviewing it here today. What does Estee Lauder say about its MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara? An advanced mascara to emphasize your lashes. Instantly increases thickness & fullness of lashes by 3 times. Unique streamlined Speed-Meter Brush design coats every single lash evenly. Dispersed pigments intensify color 30% more with moisturizing property to help prevent breakage flaking or clumping Fragrance free suitable for contact lens wearers ...

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick – Peach Though this lipstick has been a major hit amongst most of the beauties, and has been quite bragged about, I still felt like reviewing it here just to share my experience. I bought Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Peach shade, after seeing its review on IMBB. Frankly speaking, when I went to the Revlon counter and asked about this particular lipstick, I found the swatch quite scary. I thought it’d look frosty and too pale on my lips. But, when I applied it on lips, it instantly brightened up my face and looked really beautiful and natural. This has been my HG lipstick since then and I absolutely love everything about it. Let’s get to the review now: What does Revlon say about its Colorburst range of lipsticks?

Syoss Professional Performance Repair Therapy Shampoo During my visits to Germany, I spend a lot of time watching TV commercials, because of the only reason that I can somehow understand bits and pieces of them. I wasn't intending to buy any huge bottles, during my last trip, but I was so much intrigued by Syoss's continuous ads on the television, that I decided to give it a shot. I bought Syoss professional repair therapy shampoo from Muller mall, Germany. It has been 3 months now, since I've been using this shampoo and hence thought of reviewing it here. Check the ad below: What does the brand say about this product? He he..Let me translate that for you: Syoss - professional hair care products: Powerful varieties of high-quality care ingredients for perfectly groomed hair - every day, like right in accordance with the cultivated salon hairdresser.

I dared to try this look, after getting all positive comments from all of you on my easy smokey eye look. This is my first attempt to an almost full version of a smokey eye look. If you like it, you can read the tutorial below: For eyes: 1) Prep and prime your eyelids to make them the perfect canvas for colors. 2) Apply skin colored blush all over your lid till the browbone. 3) Smokey eyes usually require highlighting your browbone. For most of the Indian skin tones, using white can look too stark and OTT, so I am using a slightly neutral skin color for highlighting. The highlighter from Maybelline's Chai Latte Quad can work excellently here. 4) Apply a shimmery brown eyeshadow all over the lid, till the crease and feather it out. I have applied Inglot shade - #422 5) Take a matte/shimmer bright color of your choice. I am taking Inglot's red color, i.e. shade 382 from my inglot palette using a flat brush and tapping it at the center of the lids.It is a matte red...

I tried doing this easy smokey golden eye look using my Inglot palette. The look was quite easy and somehow turned out quite good. I don't think photographs are doing any justice to how it turned out, but still I am sharing it with you. Below are the products I used:  Steps taken: 1) Prep your face with foundation, concealer and compact so that it becomes the perfect canvas for your makeup. 2) It is very necessary that your dark circles are completely made invisible for any smokey eye look, be it soft one or dramatic one to pop out well. For that I applied my skin colored blush too over the concealer and compact. Also prep your eyes with primer and compact 3) I took the highlighter shade from my NYC palette, using a fluffy brush and highlighted my browbone, sweeping downwards. 4) I used the #430 from the Inglot Palette and applied it all over the lid using a flat brush. 5) I took the #422 shade from the Inglot palette using the sponge tip of an eyeshadow applicator and ...
