Hi friends, Today I am going to review one of my current most favorite product that I've been using since past couple of weeks and have absolutely loved it to the core. If you'd been following my blog, I shared my morning quick makeup routine HERE with you guys. I mentioned that my current health changes and various other factors have lead to disturbed sleep at night. Even though I sleep early, I keep waking up at odd timings for no particular reason. Another problem I have been facing these days is caused by the Air conditioner. I donno why, but my throat feels extremely parched as night progresses while the air conditioner is on, and I need to wake up several times to drink water. If you know any remedy to this, please suggest. So, all in all, my lack of sound sleep and health factors would have definitely promised me more racoon eyes and tired looking face. However, I must seriously thank this eye cream since it has helped a lot in taming my eye area to look human...

Hello friends, It’s been a while since the world has been hit with BB Cream frenzy. I somehow never had much feelings about it, may be for simple reason that I was happy with my usual tinted-moisturizer/foundation/concealer routine, still unable to understand the popularity of BB creams around me. However, when I got a chance to try this new BB Cream launched by Vedicline+, I was a bit intrigued looking at the benefits offered by this cream, and definitely wanted to test it on my skin too. So, did it fare well for me, or did it get a farewell from me? Check it out below: What are BB (Blemish Balm) Creams? BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm (due to an apparent copyright on the word "Blemish"), is a cosmetic  that is known for its "multi-tasking" all-in-one properties — moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunblock. (Source Wikipedia  ) About Vedicline+ BB Cream Vedicline+ Blelmish Balm cream brings to you 8...

( Guest Post) When it comes to beauty, we look at the trends for inspiration. But, these trends are not to be followed blindly as some of them may make you look hot and elegant, while others are just a fit for the runway models and must not be tried in real life. Given below are 3 such trends that you should either give a miss or not try at home. 1) Exposing Your Bobby Pins – Bobby pins are those essential items that you would find lying on the dresser or in the bathroom. You use them for tucking in stray hair when it falls on your face. Surprisingly, these pins have found their way as an exposed accessory on runways. But while they look nice on the models wearing them, unless you have a decorative bobby pin, it is best that you keep them hidden. Use them for what they are meant to do – hiding stray hair strands and remaining hidden. If you really want to expose the bobby pins on your hair, then get some crystal studded ones. 2) Faux Bangs – Most people would love fau...

CraftsVilla Shopping: Gorgeous Rosalyn Lady Portrait Clutch and blue round earrings – Experience, photos How many times does it happen with you that you feel just lost and kind of overwhelmed by all the glamour and glaze happening around in life, and for a moment just want to find your roots and settle there for a while? Because of my blog, I've definitely learned a lot about various brands - both old and new that have delivered excellence and high quality products, and as time has progressed, this huge list of such brands and their varieties has also grown manifolds. After having tons of experience experimenting with different brands for beauty, style and accessories, when I came across this website - craftsvilla.com , my experience felt similar to how it feels when I am given a chance to eat yummy matka kulfi amongst the plethora of various international flavored ice creams available. Though I've had icecreams from world's best ice cream places like Cold stone ...

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...
