Perfect Pink: Colorbar Definer Lip Liner Berry Rose 004

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!

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!

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.
