When I first saw the Real Techniques Bold Metals brushes, it was love at first sight. No, really, I'm serious. And then I saw the price tag..... Upto Rs. 2500 for a SINGLE BRUSH?!?!?!? No way that I was going to buy them. I mean, for that price you can easily get a Core Collection Set from their basic brush collection. But, I...

One of the biggest struggles of having curly hair is having to deal with frizz. It had become inescapable for me, until I came across this wonder product. John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum. This serum comes in a pump bottle. Unlike regular serums, this has a slightly thicker consistency. I apply it to my hair immediately after I've washed an conditioned it. I...

I'm back with another Five Questions, guys! This time I'm interviewing one of my favorite bloggers, Whimsy Bookworm (aka Pooja)! Her blog (www.thewhimsybookworm.blogspot.in) is such a fun place to be! Its one of the best Indian book blogs I've come across.  Through her book reviews, I've discovered so many amazing authors. Her addiction to reading is definitely contagious. Her blog's Friday Favorites section...

Cetaphil is my go to skincare brand. Ever since I started using the Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion five years ago, I haven't looked back. Along with the cleansing lotion, there is another product that is a staple in my everyday skincare routine: Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. It is a non comedogenic moisturizer that contains macadamia nut oil. I use it every night, at the end...

Sunscreen. Its the best thing you can do for your skin. Apply sunscreen everyday and prevent sun damage, which will minimize your age related skin problems (sun spots, wrinkles) in the future. We all know this. Yet most of us don't use sunscreen. Why? Its because the formulas that are available in the market currently have the same issues: they leave a white...

I had heard so many good things about the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, that I just had to get one for myself. This orange colored sponge has a unique shape. It has an egg-like shape, with one pointed end, while the bottom is slanted and flat. The sponge needs to be soaked in water and it swells up to double its size...

The Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal has been a part of my makeup stash for quite some time. I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed it yet! I own the shade 54 which is called Beige which is a neutral undertoned shade. It is a neutral shade, therefore I have to mix it up with another base product that has yellow undertones. I've had...

I've had a great experience with Real Techniques brushes. They're affordable, excellent quality brushes that have made makeup application a breeze for me! The one question that I always get asked is, which one of the RT base brushes is my favorite? The Buffing Brush or the Expert Face Brush. Without further ado, I'll get into the pros and cons of each brush...

Mascara is one of my favorite beauty products. The amount of difference this little product can make to the whole face is incredible. Mascaras should be replaced every 6-8 weeks. Otherwise you put yourself at a risk of an eye infection. The frequent replacement of mascaras can burn quite a large hole in your pocket if your favorite mascara is an expensive one....

I'm currently enjoying this very simple three product base routine. I first start by mixing the Lakme CC Cream in; Bronze with the Lakme Skin Tints Creme in Shell. The Skin Tints is a bit dark for my skin, but mixing it with the CC cream makes it work for my skin. I buff in this mixture into my skin with my favorite...

I had heard a lot of hype about the famous Konjac sponges and I knew that I had to try one. You know, for science. That's when I came across The Konjac Sponge Company at Luxola. I immediately ordered the French Pink Clay version. For those of you who have no idea what a Konjac sponge is, it is essentially an exfoliant. They're...

So...today I had to wear a face full of makeup. I had to attend a family function. My makeup consisted of Loreal Infallible Foundation, Revlon Colorstay Concealer and some pretty heavy duty, waterproof eye makeup. It was after coming back home that I realized that I had run out of my favorite makeup remover, Ponds Cold Cream. Disaster. As an emergency measure, I...

Maybelline India has finally answered our prayers! They have launched an affordable brow product that is sure to become a part of your daily makeup routine: The Fashion Brow Duo Shaper. It has been launched in two shades, Brown and Grey in India. I own the product in the shade Brown. This is a double ended pencil. It reminds me of the Anastasia...

I know, I know, you're getting really bored of all the Real Techniques reviews, but I promise that this one is the last one. Today I'm reviewing the Real Techniques Travel Essentials set. This is a set of three brushes. One orange, one pink and one purple. Let's get to it! The first and my most favorite brush is the Multitask Brush (pink)....

Here's a little tip that has been working wonderfully for me. If you are finding your foundation to be too thick and difficult to blend, spritz your makeup brush with some rose water. The rose water sheers out the foundation and helps it blend flawlessly into the skin, without looking cakey. I prefer to use rose water over regular tap water because it...

If you are looking for an affordable first cleanse/makeup remover, Ponds Cold Cream is a great option. I have been using it for years now. The cream is thick and white in color, with a strong scent of roses. I take a dollop of the cream and apply it directly to dry skin. Since it is an oil based cream, it breaks down...
