Since my wedding, I have been in search of an anti-allergic sindoor product. All the local brands including shringar and another brand which starts with letter 'k' were basically making my entire forehead itch horribly. So, I decided to give the bigger brands a try. So, let us check out whether they fixed my problem. Lakme Jewel Sindoor Price : Rs 125 As you can see, it is maroon and a bit glittery. It comes with a long sponge applicator which makes it easy to apply as a bindi on the … [Read more...] about Lakme Jewel Sindoor vs Lotus Herbals Divine Dew Herbal Sindoor Product Review

Maybelline Newyork Instant Age Rewind {Product Review}
This product was sent to me as a gift by Tine with some other things and this is something which I have been using ever since and I totally love it. I did try to explore if I can find the same range in India but I am not sure if it has hit the Indian shelves yet! Ok, I do not really know how to use the product and I do not know if this is supposed to be only for dark circles or can be used as a concealer as well. But, I try to use it as a primer underneath my sunscreen. Not only does this … [Read more...] about Maybelline Newyork Instant Age Rewind {Product Review}
Ponds White Beauty All-in-One BB + Fairness Cream SPF 30 PA++ {Product Review}
Price: Rs 65 for 9gms I have delayed this review by like almost three weeks! Anyways, so are you a BB-cream lover. Ok, I want to make one point over here. BB creams or any other creams for that matter are not a substitute for sunscreen!! So, please use a sunscreen separately. Now, let me come on to my trysts with BB creams. I have not really been lucky with them. Either they leave a white cast or make my skin too dark or too oily. I rather prefer using base and follow up with my sunscreen and … [Read more...] about Ponds White Beauty All-in-One BB + Fairness Cream SPF 30 PA++ {Product Review}
Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk {Product Review}
So, on the days you do not want to write anything serious, product reviews can be a boon but let me make it very clear when you are doing a serious review, writing the review itself is a huge issue!! Anyways, coming back to the product, I am not a fan of cleansing milks because they get empty very soon :(This cleansing milk is very thin and spreads easily on the face and neck and arms easily. It does remove the makeup pretty well. I can not really talk about kajal, though. But, then, kajal is … [Read more...] about Garnier Daily Care Gentle Cleansing Milk {Product Review}

Why do you need this and that?" And, I am rendered speechless because she comes up with her trump card "Why so many chemicals!".I am like "Huh...there we go again!". I am so tired of … [Read more...] about Why are people biased against makeup? {Your Opinion}
Do you apply a primer before makeup? {Your Opinion}
I thought this post would form a very interesting premise to a post which is gonna come soon. No, its not gonna be on makeup but I think primer is much more useful than just being a base for makeup!Anyways, leaving all that, do you know what a primer is? A primer forms a base on which makeup can be applied smoothly. So, one can draw an analogy from a smooth canvas on which an artist can create his art with ease. Or, may be the plaster on which paint is applied so that it does not peel off!!For … [Read more...] about Do you apply a primer before makeup? {Your Opinion}
How do you choose the perfect shade? {Makeup}
Ohk, so when it comes to makeup or to speak of the simplest thing of tinted moisturizers, I am at loss with the shades. If I could, I would have written a post on "How to choose the perfect shade" (hoping someone would steal the title and give me a good post instead :-D). But, since I am total klutz at it, I would rather ask you. Whenever I got to buy a loose powder, I have this SA apply it on the back of my hand and if it blends, its awesome!!! But, unfortunately, they forget one thing … [Read more...] about How do you choose the perfect shade? {Makeup}

Ice Cubes to control Sweat {Tip of the Day}
It's so hot in Delhi and I sweat a lot so I really need something extra for keeping the sweat away. And, I remembered my ice cube tip which I used to use pretty long back. So, I decided to use it again. And, oh, it feels so good in this sultry heat. So, the tip is simple. Take an ice cube and rub it thoroughly on your face and neck till it melts away. And, let it dry or use a wash cloth to drain out the extra water and you are good to go!!!
