I had been to Goa this winter, on a family trip. This meant eating lots of seafood and swimming in the ocean and water sports! But the salt in the seawater, along with the harsh sun can do a number on your hair. Which is why I whipped up this very simple "Beach Vacation Conditioner" that I took along with me. I simply...

I remember how much I used to hate skincare during my teenage years. It used to be such a chore! Now I have a variety of cleansers on rotation in my routine. For the mornings, I prefer soothing, milky cleansers. Nothing thick or foaming. Currently, I'm using (and loving) these cleansers: 1) Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion: This has been a standby in my bathroom,...

January 2016 is almost over! How fast is the time flying? I thought I'd do a post about the makeup products that I've been reaching for this month. Base: I'm loving a long lasting, high coverage base at the moment. I apply my Loreal Infallible Foundation (mixed with a bit of Lame CC Cream) with my Real Techniques foundation brush and blend it...

I'm a huge fan of liquid eyeliners. Especially the ones from Maybelline. They're so long lasting, easy to apply and affordable priced! When I came to know about the new Maybelline Hyper Matte Liquid Liner, I went and bought it immediately. It is priced at Rs. 325, which is less expensive as compared to their Colossal and Hypersharp liquid liners (my favorites!). The...

Hold your breath people, MASSIVE rave ahead. When I first saw the Maybelline India Instagram account (@maybellineindia) where they'd announced the launch of their much awaited Fit Me range, my joy knew no bounds. I went and bought the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation. Priced at Rs. 525 for 30 ml, this foundation comes in a glass bottle. I bought the...

Maybelline's Color Show lipsticks were much hyped about in the Indian blogosphere. That's why I decided to give them a go. Priced at an affordable Rs. 299 they come in a variety of shades. I chose the shade Earthly Plum. It is a beautiful, wine colored lipstick. A good autumn/winter shade. The pigmentation is quite intense. Two swipes will give you a perfectly...

I was looking for lip liner recently and came across the Maybelline Colorsensational Lip Liner. I bought the shade Velvet Beige (630). Its name can be a bit misleading, it is not beige colored in any way whatsoever.  But this shade is more on the dusty rose side, with pink undertones. It has very fine silver shimmer in it, nothing garish. The liner...

Kryolan Dermacolor Camouflage Cream has been a staple in my makeup bag for over a year now. I bought these tiny pots of concealing goodness for Rs. 350 each from my local beauty store. I own the shades DFD and D64. DFD is the darker, more peachy toned shade, as you can see from the photos, while D64 is the lighter, more yellow...

Maybelline has been knocking it out of the park with its new launches and the one I'm going to talk about today is no exception: Maybelline Color Show Creamy Matte Lipstick in Mysterious Mocha. This lipstick comes in a matte black packaging, with a snap closure. Pretty sturdy packaging for something priced at such an affordable rate. You can even hear that oh-so-satisfying...

I was at my local beauty store a few days ago, at the Maybelline counter. I had gone there with the intent of stocking up on my favorite mascara, The Colossal Volum' Express. The SA at the counter casually mentioned that a few newly launched products had just arrived at the store. And one of them included a "lip color with a smudger...
