I'm probably one of the last people to review the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. But I cannot resist sharing my thoughts about this brush with you all. This brush is very special to me. Why? Because it was my first "proper" foundation brush. Earlier, I had only used those flat foundation brushes from generic brands that used to shed like crazy all...

I had mentioned the Colorbar Perfect Match BB Cream in my Summer Base Edit post. Now, I'm back with a full review! I tried out this BB cream at my local Colorbar counter. It was love at first swatch. First thing I noticed that this BB cream in the shade Vanilla Creme was a perfect match for my skin color. PERFECT MATCH. I...

Glycolic acid is a recent addition to my skincare routine. It is quite effective in providing me regular chemical exfoliation and helps me deal with my acne and pigmentation. If you are looking for an easily available glycolic acid product that you can find at your nearest medical store, turn to Glyco 6. Glyco 6 is a cream product that contains 6% glycolic...

Eyebrows. The most underestimated part of our makeup routine. A good set of eyebrows is a total game changer. Fortunately, I've been blessed with thick, prominent eyebrows. Getting them threaded for the first time was such a pain! However, I do have some sparse growth, mostly in the inner corners. When I first saw the Sleek Eye Brow Kit at Luxola, I knew...

I've been suffering from acne since I turned 14 years old. I have tried out countless anti acne products since then. La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo is one of those products. It is said to "visibly reduce all types of acne blemishes and penetrates deep into pores to clear even stubborn blackheads and whiteheads." It contains micronized benzoyl peroxide (5.5%) and micro exfoliating...

Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are at the center of any good skincare routine. Today I'm going to review the Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Cooling Toner. It contains ingredients like witch hazel and glycolic and salicylic acid to help clear up acne prone skin. But what caught my eye was that the second ingredient in the ingredient list is alcohol. Alcohol dries out...

I have never really been a foundation girl. I find them too heavy and finding a good color match is quite difficult for me. So I've stuck to tinted moisturizers and alphabet (BB/CC) creams. I just use a high coverage concealer on my acne spots. A new favorite of mine is the Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream. I use the shade 33 Rose...

The Zoeva Concealer Buffer Brush was one of the first brush I bought from the brand. This is a dome shaped brush that is used for buffing and blending in your concealer. Made up of synthetic vegan bristles, it is super soft and doesn't shed at all. How I use the Zoeva Concealer Buffer: I apply concealer under my eye area in a...

Glycolic acid has been one of my go to skincare active ingredients in my fight against acne and hyper pigmentation. Regular exfoliation is key for healthy skin. And I'm not talking about rubbing your skin ray with walnut/apricot kernels (shudders). I'm talking about chemical exfoliation. With acids. Glycolic, salicylic, retinoic acid. Whatever suits you. But its really easy to go overboard with this...

Okay, okay. I am SO late to this party, but I'm finally going to review The Body Shop Tea Tree BB Cream. I remember this being so hyped when it was launched. Everyone I knew was raving about this product. But honestly? I don't like it. At all. Hear me out first. I popped into The Body Shop the other day to buy...

Mirenesse is an Australian beauty brand that I've heard many good things about. When I saw that Luxola stocked Mirenesse products, to say that I was excited will be an understatement. I was browsing through Luxola a while back and this little gem from Mirenesse would appear to be sold out every time I checked! I knew this was something special, so I...

Well, summer is HERE! And that means its time to change up the beauty routine. I tend to skip foundations and prefer tinted moisturizers/BB creams/CC creams. In the morning, after cleansing, I apply a layer of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen in SPF 50. I find that its the best sunscreen for me under makeup. Almost like a primer. Sunscreen, for me,...
