June 28, 2017June 28, 2017Leave a comment

Hello, Everyone! 🙂

Sorry for being MIA. I have been busy for the whole month. My kids are enjoying their summer break and so am I! 🙂 I am hardly getting time to attend any event or post on my blog. Mum’s life you know! 😀 😀

The weather is hot and humid. That means more sweat, clogged pores, enlarged pores, dull skin, pigmentations, sunburns and much more… Needless to say, you should change your skin care routine as the season changes. It is important to follow a skin care routine to keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the year. Since its summer season thus lightweight face washes, lotions should be definitely added to your skin care routine.

My Experience with Biotique Bio Papaya Exfoliating Face Wash

Biotique Bio Papaya Exfoliating Face Wash comes in a gel form with many tiny Papaya granules present. Due to micro-exfoliating granules, it is not harsh on the face.

May 27, 2017May 27, 201734 Comments

Howdy Dolls!

Wearing foundation can enhance your appearance. Since a foundation acts as a base for the rest of your makeup thus it’s very important to use a foundation which not only matches your skin tone but evens out your skin color and adds radiance to your complexion. Isn’t it? So, today’s review is going to be Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation which was launched in India last year. Read on to know more….

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, shade – 310 Sun Beige review

Fit Me Matte + Poreless from Maybelline New York goes beyond skin tone matching to fit the unique texture issues of normal to oily skin for the ultimate natural skin fit.

My Experience with Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, shade-310 Sun Beige:

Packaging:

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, shade – 310 Sun Beige review

Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation comes in a thick glass bottle with a black screw lid. Though it doesn’t come with a pump dispenser yet I didn’t find it difficult to carry or difficult to use. But yes, since it has a wide spout, thus sometimes you might end up getting more than required so you have to be bit careful when you are pouring it out. Further, The packaging has the necessary details including the shade name and ingredient list etc.

Shade – Presently there are 6 shades available in India:

115 Ivory

This is the lightest shade which will suit beauties with extremely fair skin tone. This shade is perfect for MAC NW20-25

128 Warm Nude Beige

This is another light shade with a pale yellow undertone, perfect for fair skin beauties. I think you are between NC30-35 in MAC then this will suit you very well.

230 Natural Buff

This shade has bit orange undertone, which would go with fair to medium complexion. This will suit MAC NC35-37 skin tone beauties.

310 Sun Beige

This is my shade, and perfect for my NC 42 (medium skin tone). If you are between NC 40-42 then this is a right shade for you.

322 Warm Honey

It is slightly in a (deep) warm undertone which will suit medium to dusky skin tones i.e. MAC NC42-44.

330 Toffee Caramel

This is the deepest shade from this range, which will suit the duskier complexion beauties. I think it will suit beauties with NC 45 complexion.

Texture & Formula:

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, shade – 310 Sun Beige review

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation has a slightly thick texture but It feels velvety and smooth. I have normal skin tone and this foundation blends effortlessly like a dream into the skin. If you have a dry skin then moisturize your face well before wearing this. The formula feels very lightweight. Since it has a matte finish yet it doesn’t creases or looks dry or feels cakey. I usually use my Beauty Blender to apply this as well as my fingers to blend it out and both ways, the formula blends easily and even out your skin very well.

Staying power:

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, shade – 310 Sun Beige review

It stays put on my face for almost 7-8 hours easily. It didn’t get patchy or rub off in between. as per it claims It really keeps my face shine free. It mattifies my face but at the same time, it doesn’t make my skin even dry. Even it stays for really long in hot summer Moreover, it keeps your skin oil free all day long. Make sure to powder to set it if you have an oily skin! This way, it will keep your skin at bay with the oil and it will provide matte finish all day long.

Coverage:

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, shade – 310 Sun Beige review

It gives medium coverage with a matte finish. To be very honest I wasn’t expecting much from this foundation. I got it for Rs. 394 during the sale from Nykaa. But I am surprised that it hides imperfections such as pigmentation, blemishes pretty well. It evens outs the skin and feels like there is anything on your skin

Mother’s Day Photo Shoot at CTC Mall

May 19, 2017May 19, 201732 Comments

Maa!

I call her Maa! Matay! Mommy! but actually, she is a superwoman! She is the one who surrendered her own desires to raise us better than she had been! She definitely deserves an extra love and attention and of course loads of gifts! 🙂 🙂 Haina?

In honor of Mother’s Day, CTC mall plaza organized a Mother’s Day shoot, yes a Mother-Daughter photo shoot! Wow! Isn’t that exciting? They had arranged a makeup artist to make our day even more special moreover we were free to pick any outfit and accessories for the shoot. The whole concept was absolutely irresistible so I decided to give it a go. For me, it was a great way to thank the special lady in my life with an amazing shoot exclusively to make her more special for the special day.

As we were free to pick any outfit of our choice for the shoot thus we got a chance to discover their huge collection. Trust me, we were simply fascinated with their unbelievable collection !! CTC Mall is not only a mall but also a hub for all sorts of ethnics. Huge varieties, absolutely unique designs range for all kinds of budget. The bridal collection is just breathtaking! From pre-wedding outfits to Heavy Bridal Suits, bridal Saree, bridal Lehnga, gowns, suit sets and from wedding accessories such as clutches to footwears, the store has endless variety. What I liked the most about their display arrangement is that none of the outfits are folded but placed on hangers.

I must say, CTC Mall is one of the best places for shopping under one roof for all your bridal needs, especially for bridal lehenga! If you haven’t been to CTC Mall, Moti Nagar yet, then you must check out their collection at least once before heading anywhere else!

Since CTC Mall is a bridal lehenga destination, I decided to pick a bridal lehenga. I picked a beautiful lehenga in maroon color. All the lehengas were effortlessly displayed on the hangers thus I could easily pick them up in terms of colors, prints, and designs and see for myself which one would work best for me. Believe me, I took just 2 minutes to choose my favorite lehenga for the shoot!

I also got my matching jewelry easily from their jewelry collection. Likewise, Maa also picked her favorite outfit but took some time to select one, as she didn’t want to go for a gaudy one.

Mother’s Day Photo Shoot at CTC Mall

The Mother-Daughter shoot was so much fun, we thoroughly enjoyed shooting this session. I love how these pictures turned out, certainly memories to treasure forever. The shoot was full of joy and laughs.

Mother’s Day Photo Shoot at CTC Mall

To be very honest, I think I am fumbling for words, completely overwhelmed and astounded about this experience. The photographer captured all the pictures so beautifully, I mean the kind of pictures we want to hang on the wall! ❤ ❤ We even took loads of selfies. ❤ ❤

Mother’s Day Photo Shoot at CTC Mall

Especially, mommy was so happy!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 The huge smile on her face was so PRICELESS! Oh Maa, God bless you, may you always keep smiling the way you do! Love you to the moon and back! :* :*

Mother’s Day Photo Shoot at CTC Mall

We also got some special gifts from CTC Mall at the end of the shoot as a token of love!

We can’t thank CTC mall enough for organizing such an amazing and memorable photoshoot for us. Special thanks to CTC staff for all the help with dressing up, and the makeup artist Mehr Mehra for the stunning makeup!

Well, that’s my story! This was unquestionably one of the most memorable experiences of my life. How did you celebrate this Mother’s Day? Please share in the comment section.

LOVE YOU ALL !

STAY BLESSED!

5 Skin Care Habits You Should Follow Before You Turn 30

March 28, 2017March 28, 201725 Comments

Hey, lovelies!

The skin is youthful and soft and plumb till the age of 30. Many of us, who are blessed genetically, do not even have to fight the usual problems of skin such as blemishes, acne or premature ageing. Maybe that is the reason why most women believe their skin doesn’t need much of a skincare till they are 30 years old. However, the fact that your skin is healthy till 30 makes it even more important to maintain it well and keep it strengthened for a future phase. It is the best time to take all the measures to preserve its youthfulness. Note down these habits now.

1. Regular Exercise

Your body, just like your skin, remains fit, resistant and youthful on its own till 30. So it is good to make a habit of exercising regularly when it is time. Exercise cleanses your skin and inner organs by wreathing out the dirt inside. That is the reason why you get that glow on your skin when you are exercising regularly. It is as important as your skincare routine

2. How much water do you drink in a day?

This is the most popular, yet the most ignored way of keeping your skin youthful. Trust me, water can do wonders to your skin. So make sure you keep your skin hydrated by drinking at least 5 liters of water during a day. To improve the ability to drink higher amounts of water than you are drinking now, avoid drinking caffeine and colas.

3. Are you avoiding fats?

Not following a proper diet plan and binging on junk food will damage your skin for sure. But for a healthy looking skin, just having a diet that is both nutritious and full of fiber, such as a lot of fruits and veggies, is not enough. The intake of fats is also very important. A lot of young men and women commit this blunder of avoiding fats to look good. They must, on the contrary ensure a daily dose of seeds, nuts, and healthy oils, which make skin radiant and youthful.

4. How’s your skincare routine?

It is important to develop a good skincare routine habit so long as your skin is healthy. Do cleansing, toning and moisturizing at least twice a day. It is basic knowledge not to sleep with makeup on. Carefully remove every trace of makeup while are you preparing to go to bed as it plays a key role keeping up the glow on your skin.

5. Selection of skincare products

Remember to look for skincare products with antioxidants. Your facial oils and serums must have ingredients that contain vitamins A, C, E, as these protect your skin against air pollutants. Similarly, products with plant-based oils help restoring skin from sun damage. These ingredients also work against premature ageing by strengthening a dehydrated skin, preventing fine lines and wrinkles.

With all the above tips, be religious about applying your sunscreen, no matter what. The sun’s UV rays damage the skin, causing cancer and ageing. So there is no alternative to wearing sunscreen. If you follow these simple steps, you can keep up the youthfulness of your skin for many years to come.

So, Give the break to the things you have been doing till now and adapt these wonderful habits to stay young and beautiful!!!

Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Radiant Review And Swatches

March 18, 2017March 21, 201730 Comments

Hey, Everyone! 🙂

I love highlighters! The highlighter is a product that can completely transform your look. Not only it gives you amazing glowing look but it also helps you look younger and fresher! I had been planning to buy universally loved Bobby Brown’s shimmer bricks but those are very expensive hence never got my hands on them. But, as soon as I saw Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Radiant on Nykaa, I was like damn! These two look absolutely similar!! I could not resist myself to buy this product. So, let’s get into the review, super fast .. . . 🙂 ❤

Product Details:

Combining the warmth from a bronzer with highlighters to give gorgeous definition to all skin tones. Either use each shade from the shimmer brick on its own, or swirl your brush round to pick up all the colours.

Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Radiant Review And Swatches

List of Ingredients:

Mica, Dimethicone, Nylon 12, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben [+/-: CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77499, CI 15850]

Price: Rs.600/- for 7 gm.

Buy it here: Nykaa, Flipkart, Jabong

My Experience Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Radiant:

Packaging:

The Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Radiant comes in a black colored square plastic pan with a transparent lid, which allows you to see the product really well. Trust me the highlighters look divine in the palette! There are 5 beautiful shimmery highlighter strips inside. There is a brand logo on the transparent lid in Gold color. The packaging is simple, yet beautiful! The palette is quite compact and sturdy yet the product inside might break if not handled carefully. I accidently dropped it once and the darkest shade cracked a little bit inside however the container/plastic pan was still intact. Nevertheless, the container closes tightly which makes it travel-friendly. Moreover, it’s a small and light weighted palette so it’s easy to simply toss it in your bag or in your makeup pouch.

Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick Radiant Review And Swatches

Makeup Revolution Vivid Shimmer Brick is available in the following variants:

Vivid Shimmer Brick Radiant (The lighter one)
Vivid Shimmer Brick Rose Gold(The darker one)

Skin and Hair Care for Holi

March 10, 2017March 10, 201711 Comments

Happy Holi Everyone!

The festival we all have all been waiting for is just around the corner “HOLI“!!

HOLI is a festival of Colors & Love! People spend the day smearing colored powder and throwing colored water at each other. You just can’t avoid such beautiful colors, parties, and fun! Can you?, Everyone loves watching those colorful happy faces but the end of the day, we are left with dirty nails, messed up skin, rough hair and many breakouts! Isn’t it? But don’t worry! Below are some useful tips for before and after Holi that will help you protect your hair and skin from the colors.

Read on to know more:

SKIN CARE

SKIN CARE TIPS – BEFORE HOLI

Say No to any kind of beauty treatment such as facial, bleaching, waxing before Holi because these procedures leave the skin pores open which is absolutely harmful to your skin. Why? During Holi, all the colors can easily seep into your pores.
It is always advisable to play Holi with natural/ herbal or homemade colors like you can make a yellow color by mixing Turmeric powder and corn flour. Else buy colors from good brands with all natural ingredients.
The strong chemicals in the colors leave your skin dry, so a thick application of moisturizer on your skin (entire body) is very important before you leave to play Holi. Pamper your skin with loads of moisturizer (Coconut based moisturizers are excellent for your skin) or coconut. This will help you in protecting from the immediate effect of harmful chemicals of colors. Also, this will help in removing color from your skin more easily. You can use a thick layer of petroleum jelly as well.
Make sure you wear something that covers your body as much as possible so that there will be less of skin exposed. So, less area to remove color from!!
Trim your hands and feet nails properly and paint them with any dark nail polish. Don’t forget to put petroleum jelly around the cuticles. Remove nail polish once you are home. This will not let any color residue on your nails.
And last but not the least, do not forget to apply sunscreen lotion before you step out to play Holi. Also, take care of your Lips by applying plenty of lip balm (preferably the one contains SPF) before joining the play of colors.

SKIN CARE TIPS – AFTER HOLI

Firstly, take a quick bath so that the colors come off from your skin easily. Do not take a bath in hot water, as this will make your skin drier. Bath in lukewarm water is recommended. After a bath, make sure to apply plenty of moisturizer to prevent the skin from dryness.
Do not panic, if some colors do not come out. The color will fade away with each wash.
Wash your face with face wash to wash off the colors from your face and then apply some Aloe Vera gel on your face, which will relax your skin from any harsh effects of chemicals in the color.
Never rub your face vigorously with soap, as it will make your skin absolutely dry. Instead, use a cleansing milk or mild face wash to remove the color from your face.
You can rub some coconut or olive oil on your skin to get rid of dry colors. For wet colors, you can rub lemon slices over your skin. Whatever method you use, make sure to apply plenty of moisturizer after wash to prevent your skin from any kind of irritation or dryness.

HAIR CARE

HAIR CARE TIPS – BEFORE HOLI

Make sure you tie up your hair while playing Holi as open hair tends to tangle and damage your hair even more. Holi means more fun!! Don’t go for any boring hairstyles rather make some stylish hairstyle like side braid, high bun.
You can also wear any cap or turban to protect your hair from direct contact of colors.
To protect your hair from the chemicals of colors and harsh water, massage your hair with loads of coconut oil before you play Holi. The coconut oil acts as a barrier and prevents colors from coming in direct contact with your hair & its roots. That means less hair damages.
Don’t wear contact lenses rather wear Specs. You can also use goggles to protect your eyes.

HAIR CARE TIPS – AFTER HOLI

Firstly, wash your hair with plain tepid water so that most of the color comes off. You can shampoo your hair with mild shampoo afterward. Don’t worry, if you still see color in your scalp. Do not wash your hair again and again as it will make your hair drier. The color will fade day by day.
If your hair becomes dry, apply plenty of Coconut oil and leave it like that for overnight. Wash your hair next morning with a mild shampoo. The coconut oil is very light that a single wash with shampoo will remove all the colors from your hair. You may also condition your hair after shampoo.

Once again, Happy Holi to you and your family! May God gift you all the colors of life, colors of joy, colors of happiness, colors of friendship, colors of love and all other colors you want to paint in your life!

Hope you found this post helpful. Please share it with others.

Today I am reviewing SUGAR Cosmetics Smudge Me Not liquid lipstick – 08 Wine and Shine which I got in my February month’s Fab Bag. As always I am so excited to share my thoughts so, let’s get into the review fast: 😀

The packaging is pretty sturdy and travel-friendly. The tube has a unique shape at the end, it’s in lipstick bullet shape at the end which is quite attractive!

THE APPLICATOR

There is a sponge applicator attached to the cap. The length of the applicator stick is so perfect for a better grip. The wand is bit small but picks enough product for a perfect application without wasting a drop of it. It defines your lips effortlessly even on the corners of your lips. As suggested earlier, always line your lips first and then apply your liquid lipstick to avoid accidental clown mouth.

Shade:

It is such a super lustrous shade, which will make their face glow instantly.

Texture & Pigmentation:

SUGAR COSMETICS SMUDGE ME NOT IN WINE AND SHINE LIQUID LIPSTICK – REVIEW AND SWATCHES

SUGAR Cosmetics Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick – 08 Wine and Shine has a medium and smooth texture, which glides on effortlessly without any tugging, It dries down approx. in 1 to 2 minutes into a BEAUTIFUL super matte lipstick. It doesn’t smudge or transfer. Once it dries it doesn’t budge for anything like literally “ANYTHING”. Do not forget to prep your lips before applying any matte lipstick. Since the formula of this lipstick is a little drying, so make sure to apply a good lip balm before applying it. This lipstick is extremely pigmented. As it goes opaque in just one go thus do not layer it up much else it may lead to patchiness. As mentioned above use a lip liner to define your lips first then apply lipstick for perfection.

Staying Power:

SUGAR COSMETICS SMUDGE ME NOT IN WINE AND SHINE LIQUID LIPSTICK – REVIEW AND SWATCHES

Once it’s set, It doesn’t budge at all. It stays put on me approx 9 to 10+ hours! It stays on my lips through eating (light oily food) and drinking, Yes it survives incredibly well. The lipstick doesn’t smudge, transfer or fade at all!!!!!. It doesn’t budge until you eat something oily then it starts to wear off slightly in the center of the lips. Nevertheless, the pigmentation was superb after such long hours! The best part is that it does not flake or crumble. It fades off evenly leaving behind a lovely pink-purple tint. Since it has a stubborn tint thus removing it is a bit difficult, however, you can easily remove with oil-based cleanser or Johnson & Johnson baby oil/coconut oil.

Once it dries down, it’s pretty much resistant to any smudging and it doesn’t cause any irritation to my eyes.

Staying power:

This gel pencil has amazing staying power! I have watery eyes but it stays on and doesn’t run. It stays put on my eyes for minimum 6 hours in my waterline and more than 10 hours on my lash line easily but doesn’t stay for 16 hours as per the description. It stays on and on even with sweating, it doesn’t run. I wore it during my gym time once where it smudged a bit but nothing too noticeable. It stays intact yet comes off easily with my makeup remover or baby oil.
