Patanjali Coconut Oil Review & Photos


Hello Everyone!

Coconut Oils have become such a rave around the world today. But we Indians have been using it since ages and undoubtedly this is king of all carrier oils. It acts as a great base for essential oils as well. The best form of coconut oil, will surely be that which contains least amount of chemicals and this one is totally safe as it is edible!

Mustard Fall Favourites 2015


One thing I miss during wearing during the cold months is my favourite 'yellow'. It is too bright and screams summer,hence, come winter and enter 'mustard yellow'! It is much toned down in terms of brightness when compared to 'yellow' and adds a feeling of warmth and comfort. The best part is that the shade looks so trendy when layered with textured fabrics.
One of my favourite ways to style during casual fall mornings, is to style a chic mustard cardigan with navy blue jeans and a bright teal scarf.  Also an added leather accessory like a bag or boots can do wonders. The bag may be brown or one can also play up with a hot color such as pink or coral.

Earthy Make Up: Piku Inspired Look


Hey Doves!

So I recently watched Piku and I loved Deepika's easy go breezy look. The look relates to each and every Indian lady, married or unmarried. She looks stylish and comfortable in her outfits. Her makeup is simple with her eyes being the centre of attraction. We mostly see her with bold eyebrows and naturally smudged black kajal in the film. The look is not a dramatic one and hence her eyelashes have been kept almost natural. Deepika's cheeks and lips have beautiful earthy rosy tones which cannot be ignored!

Hello beauties!

It has been almost a year since I posted my last haircare routine so I thought of posting an updated version. I have always had thick long hair with oily scalp and dry ends.

Sanitt Spray: Hygiene Alert!


Hey Ladies!

Lets talk hygiene today! Beauty, makeup and skincare all aside, cleanliness has a special role to play in our lives. I am a hoarder when it comes to sanitisers and napkins, anything which will help me stay extra clean, I want!
Okay so I avoid using public toilets as far as possible. But for emergencies and during long train journeys, flights and movie theatres using the public wash-room cannot be avoided.Blaming only the public authorities for keeping unhygienic toilets would be unfair, I mean look at some of the high profile Malls today, their wash-rooms are a nightmare! Being a person who needs her toilet to be as clean as her bedroom (or rather more), I jumped on seeing the toilet seat sanitising spray!

Today I am going to discuss Lush Dream Cream Hand And Body Lotion which my mom's HG product. Sadly, Lush products are no longer easily available to us ever since Lush decided to move out of India. But, what are good friends and relatives abroad for, right?

Aroma Treasures Tea Tree Essential Oil Review


Hey Everyone!

Today I am going to discuss a very common but important issue 'Pimples/Acne'. As a teenager I had flawless spotless skin but as I entered 20s my skin started getting extremely dry, sensitive and break out prone. I have dry skin so most of the products made for adult acne are extremely drying for me, so I avoid them. 
There are a few spot treatments for breakouts (had my eyes on la roche posay effacular duo) but they are so expensive and not easily available in Indian Stores so I tried something which was affordable and sworn by many since ages. 

Price- Rs 204 for 10 ml

The Aroma treasures Tea tree Essential Oil is said to be suitable for all skin types and helps in fighting fungal infections,athletes foot and nail viruses.
