One of my main acne related concerns is the scarring that I'm left with, after the breakout itself has receeded. Its frustrating and understandably so. As if the painful pimple wasn't enough, huh? Acne scars are a problem because they take a LONG time to fade. Let me describe how it was for me, before I had a proper skincare routine: I used...
I'm a self proclaimed sheet mask addict. I find them to be so refreshing and relaxing. Applying a sheet mask soaked in a rich essence really hydrates my skin and plumps it up. One such sheet mask that I've come across is the Leaders Insolution Mela Tox Skin Clinic Mask. I bought this mask from Luxola India. This is a very popular face...

Whenever I do my makeup, my main focus is on creating a flawless, even base. I concentrate on it the most, taking the most time trying to make my acne prone skin look as healthy as possible. There are three brushes I tend to reach for the most, when it comes to doing my base. All are from Real Techniques (No surprises there!)....
I've been in love with the Celine Audrey sunglasses for a long time. The Audrey, New Audrey or Baby Audrey, I love them all! But, sadly, they are expensive. I was always on the lookout for dupes/lookalikes. And when I found these sunglasses from Mango at Myntra, I was over the moon! I ordered both the available versions, Black frame/Purple gradient lens and...
If there is one loose powder I have been faithful to, its the Kryolan Translucent Loose Powder. I use the shade TL4. This shade has just the perfect amount of yellow undertones, which reminds me of the Ben Nye Banana Powder. This powder comes in a jar form, with a slide off lid. This powder is finely milled and blends in very easily...
Maybelline The Falsies Mascara has often been compared to Benefit's They're Real Mascara. And I am a big fan of Maybelline mascaras. That's why, when I spotted the Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes Mascara, I knew I had to try it! This mascara comes in the standard purple colored tube packaging that we all associate with the traditional Falsies mascara. What's unique about this...
My morning skincare routine has been pretty much the same throughout. I've shortened it on purpose, keeping only the essential steps, because the last thing I want to do each morning is to go through a complicated, multi layered skincare routine. I save the longer routine for night time. Here's now my new morning skincare routine goes: 1) Cleanse: I use my favorite...
I have naturally curly hair, which means that my hair is always prone to frizz. And I'm always on the lookout for serums/leave in conditioners/ treatments. I just want to add moisture back into my hair, which helps them become more manageable. Recently, there was a lot of hype surrounding the Garnier Fructis Oil In Cream and I knew I had to try...
Okay...get ready for a major rave. I came across the Zoeva 102 Silk Finish Brush while watching one of Zoella's (Zoe Sugg) YouTube videos. And when I saw that Luxola stocked the brush, into my shopping cart it went! And my god, I LOVE this brush! Its taklon bristles are super duper soft. They are dense enough to flawlessly blend cream and liquid...
Makeup Revolution is one of the recent brands to enter India. As I was browsing through their offerings on Jabong, I came across their Protection Palette. It is a complexion palette, with seven products in it. I got the palette on shade Medium/Dark. We get three types of concealers, one pressed powder, one contour powder, one blush and one highlighter. I have labelled...
If you are a big user of gel eyeliners, then you'll know how important it is to get a brush that helps you in the application process. One of my favorite gel eyeliner brushes has to be the ZOEVA Fine Liner Brush. This brush has a 'bend' to it that helps it reach the hard to reach areas such as the inner corners...
I'm one of those people who have the most nonexistent cheekbones. Ever. And when I discovered contouring, it was a whole new world for me. But doing the actual task is quite difficult. At least for me it was. I had almost given up on the whole shebang when I came across the Real Techniques Sculpting Brush on Flipkart. *cue Hallelujah chorus* This...
I'm a fan of lip balms, that's true. Especially tinted lip balms. But usually, the colors are too sheer and it takes multiple layers of the balm for the color to show up. Which in turn leads to sticky, slippery lips. Not cool. So when Maybelline India came out with their new Baby Lips in Electro Pop, I had to check it out....
When it comes down to choosing the perfect foaming cleanser for my skin, I have a few rules. Usually, I have three types of cleansers on rotation: cream, milk/lotion and foam cleansers. Today, I'm focusing only on foam cleansers because they help in really purifying your skin, after you've removed your makeup. Read on to know what I look for in my perfect...
If you suffer from acne, like me, you might want to look into some high coverage concealer options so that you can pin point conceal blemishes. One such option that I have found is the Inglot AMC Cream Concealer. I own this concealer in the shade 67. It is a medium colored peachy/yellow toned concealer. Now this concealer comes in a tiny pot...

I'm a hardcore Real Techniques fan, you all know it. And when I found out that Samantha Chapman (the woman behind Real Techniques and Pixiwoo) had created a limited edition set of her favorite brushes, I knew I had to get it! Enter Sam's Picks and there is only one word to describe this set: AWESOME. Really! Sam's Picks consists of 6 brushes:...
Today I'm going to review one of my favorite liquid liners, Maybelline The Colossal Liner. After the success of the Colossal Kajal, Maybelline launched the Colossal Liner in India. Now this eyeliner is like your standard felt tip liner. It has a pointed tip that makes for really precise application. The tip is flexible, so you can reach those hard to reach areas,...
Revlon Colorstay Concealer! I LOVE this product. Allow me to tell you why. Firstly, it is a liquid concealer and I have always preferred liquid concealers over cream concealers. Secondly, it gives me just the amount of coverage I need. Its not cakey or too opaque. Thirdly, it does not crease or settle into fine lines. And lastly, it really really lasts. Come...
